                  cash salary of $125,000 from the Company, payable in the same
                  manner (but not less often than monthly) as other salaried
                  employees of the Company are paid, and subject to all
                  withholding taxes and other standard types of deductions.
                  Employee shall be entitled to participate in bonus and stock

         e.       during the transition term Employee shall be entitled to have
                  the Company pay for medical insurance for Employee and his
                  immediate family in amounts and on terms and conditions as may
                  be determined by the Company from time to time. Additionally,
                  Employee shall be entitled to receive such further benefits as
                  may be provided by the Company from time to time to its key
                  employees.

         f.       Employee shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses
                  incurred in performing services under this Agreement,
                  including, but not limited to, business travel, lodging,
                  meals, entertainment and taxi fares. Employee agrees to comply
                  with the Company's policy applicable to its officers for
                  submitting invoices, receipts, vouchers and the like for
                  expense reimbursement.

         g.       during the transition term Employee shall be entitled to four

7.       Disability. If in the reasonable and prudent determination of the
         Company, during the term of this Agreement, Employee becomes totally
         disabled (mentally or physically) for a




<PAGE>

         continuous period of 30 days or such disability has an adverse impact
         on Employee's ability to perform under this Agreement, the Company, at
         its option, may thereafter, upon written notice to Employee or his
         personal representative, terminate his employment without any liability
         except to comply with the obligations, if any, contained in the Stock
         Incentive Plan.

8.       Death during Employment. If the Employee dies during the term of this
         Agreement, the Company shall have no liability to the Employee's estate
         except to comply with the obligations, if any, imposed by the Stock
         Incentive Plan in effect immediately prior to the death of the
         Employee.

9.       Termination with Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement with
         Cause (as defined below) upon written notice to Employee. For purposes
         of this Agreement, the term Cause shall be defined as (i) any violation
         of law by the Employee or by the Company (for which violation of law
         Employee can reasonably be held responsible) which, in the judgment of
         the Board of Directors, injures, or is likely to injure, the Company or
         its reputation, such as theft, defamation of the Company or its
         products, or which would otherwise be deemed to constitute legal cause,
         or (ii) gross dereliction by the Employee of his duties.

10.      Termination without Cause.

         a.       Termination by Company. The Company may terminate this
                  Agreement at any time, without Cause, by giving 30 days
                  written notice to the Employee. In the event the Company
                  terminates the Employee pursuant to this Section 12a, the
                  Company shall be obligated (i) to pay Employee as liquidated
                  damages the Salary of Employee and all bonuses and benefits
                  provided by the Company to Employee pursuant to Section 6a
                  above for a period equal to twelve (12) months after such
                  termination. The Salary portion of any severance required to
                  be paid pursuant to this Section 10a shall be payable in full
                  upon the effective date of such termination. Additionally, the
                  Company agrees to reimburse Employee for all proper expenses
                  owed him through such date of termination.

         b.       Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate this Agreement
                  at any time, without Cause, by giving 30 days written notice
                  to the Company. In that event, Employee shall continue to
                  render his services and shall be reimbursed for all proper
                  expenses owed him through such date of termination. The
                  Company shall have no liability to the Employee except to
                  comply with the obligations, if any, contained in the Stock
                  Incentive Plan. If Employee fails to provide notice as
                  required by this Section 11(b), such termination shall be
                  deemed for Cause.

11.      Indemnification/Insurance.

         a.       Indemnification. If Employee is made a party, or threatened to
                  be made a party, to any lawsuit or proceeding, solely as a
                  result or on account of his services under




<PAGE>

                  this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and defend
                  Employee and hold him harmless against all expenses
                  (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and
                  costs), liabilities and losses incurred or suffered by him in
                  connection with or on account of such lawsuit, (i) to the
                  fullest extent permitted under Colorado law as the same now
                  exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any
                  such amendment, if permissible, only to the extent that such
                  amendment permits the Company to provide broader
                  indemnification rights than permitted the Company to provide
                  prior to such amendment). Employee agrees that he will not
                  settle any pending or threatened lawsuit or proceeding without
                  the prior written consent of the Company. In addition,
                  Employee agrees that the Company shall have the right, but not
                  the obligation, to assume and direct Employee's defense in any
                  such lawsuit with counsel selected by the Company.

         b.       Insurance. In connection with the Company's indemnification
                  obligations, the Company, shall obtain and maintain Director's
                  and Officer's Insurance coverage covering Employee in amounts
                  and on terms customary for companies which are similarly
                  situated.

12.      Proprietary Information. Employee agrees that all Proprietary
         Information (as defined below) shall be the sole property of the
         Company. At all times, both during Employee's employment with the
         Company and after termination of Employee's employment, Employee will
         keep in confidence and trust, for the benefit of the Company, all
         Proprietary Information and Employee will not use or disclose any
         Proprietary Information or anything relating to such information
         without the prior written consent of the Company, except in performing
         the Employee's duties as an employee of the Company. "Proprietary
         Information" shall mean specifications, instructions, methods, code
         (source and object), data (including without limitation research,
         financial, personnel or test), designs, processes (computer or
         otherwise), techniques, formulae, compositions, marketing and sales
         information, customer lists, plans and all other know-how and trade
         secrets or any copies, elaborations, modifications, adaptations and
         derivatives thereof which are in the possession of the Company at the
         time of termination of Employee's employment and which have not been
         published or disclosed to, and are not otherwise known to, the public.

13.      Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Employee's
         employment for any reason, Employee will promptly deliver to the
         Company all documents and data of any nature, regardless of format,
         pertaining to the Employee's work with the Company involving
         Proprietary Information, and Employee will not, without the prior
         written consent of the Company, retain in Employee's possession or
         control or provide to others any documents or data or any description
         or any reproduction of any description containing or pertaining to any
         Proprietary Information.

14.      Noncompetition.

         a.       While Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of
                  one year after the termination of such employment for any
                  reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly:

         b.       recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee
                  or employees of the Company to terminate their employment
                  with, or otherwise cease any relationship with, the Company;
                  or

         c.       solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to divert or to take
                  away, any business of any of the clients, customers or
                  accounts, or prospective clients, customer or accounts, of the
                  Company which were contacted, solicited or served by Employee,
                  or were directly or indirectly under Employee's
                  responsibility, while Employee was employed by the Company.

         d.       If any restriction set forth in Section 16(a) above is found
                  by any court to be unenforceable because it extends for too
                  long a period of time, or over too great a range of
                  activities, or over too broad a geographic area, the
                  restriction shall be interpreted to extend only over the
                  maximum period of time, range of activities, or geographic
                  area which the court finds to be enforceable. The parties
                  recognize and agree that the nature of the Company's business
                  extends beyond a regional area and that, therefore, a covenant
                  encompassing the entire country is reasonable under all facts
                  and circumstances.

         e.       The restrictions contained in this Section 16 are necessary
                  for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company
                  and are considered by Employee to be reasonable for such
                  purpose.

15.      Remedies.

         a.       If Employee breaches any of the provisions of Sections 14
                  through 16 above, the Company shall have the nonexclusive
                  right and remedy to have the provisions of such section
                  specifically enforced by any court have equity jurisdiction,
                  it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or
                  threatened breach will cause substantial and irreparable
                  injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide
                  an adequate remedy to the Company.

         b.       If any covenant contained in Sections 14 through 16, or any
                  part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or
                  unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of such
                  covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect,
                  without regard to the invalid portions.



<PAGE>

         c.       The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to
                  enforce the covenants contained in Sections 14 through 16
                  hereof upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the
                  geographical scope of such covenants, in which jurisdiction
                  any alleged breach or such covenant occurs. If the courts of
                  any one or more of such jurisdictions shall hold such
                  covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope
                  or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
                  such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's
                  right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other
                  jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants,
                  as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective
                  jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each
                  jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse
                  and independent covenants.

         d.       In any action brought to enforce or defend rights hereunder,
                  the party who substantially prevails in his or its material
                  claims shall be entitled to recover (in addition to all other
                  damages and expenses) his or its reasonable attorneys' fees.

16.      Notices and Addresses. All notices required to be given under this
         Agreement shall be given by personal delivery or by certified mail or
         registered mail, sent to the proper party at the addresses hereinabove
         set forth. Either party may change the address for notices by providing
         the other party written notice of the same.

17.      Parties Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
         benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
         administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns;
         provided, however, Employee may not assign this Agreement.

18.      Colorado Law to Apply. This Agreement shall be construed under and in
         accordance with the laws of Colorado.

19.      Legal Construction. In the event of any one or more of the provisions
         contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid,
         illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
         unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof and this
         Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
         unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

20.      Sole Agreement of the Parties. This Agreement constitutes the only
         agreement of the parties hereto respecting the within subject matter
         and supersedes any prior understanding or written or oral agreements
         between the parties.

21.      Amendment. No amendment, modification or alteration of the terms hereof
         shall be binding unless the same be in writing, dated subsequent to the
         date hereof and duly executed by the parties hereto.

22.      Waiver of Default. No waiver by the parties hereto of any default or
         breach of any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement shall be
         deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other
         term, condition or covenant contained herein.

23.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
         which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24.      Captions. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and
         shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms or provisions
         hereof.
