(b)    Assignment of Created Works. The Executive hereby fully assigns to the  Parent or its designee all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in and to the Created  Works and all aspects thereof, including without limitation all rights to renewals,  extensions, causes of action, reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, display,  perform, transfer, make, use and sell. The Executive will, from time to time during the  Employment Period and thereafter, and at any time upon the request of the Parent or its  designee, execute and deliver any documents, agreements, certificates or other instruments  affirming, giving effect to or otherwise perfecting the Parent’s or its designee’s rights in  the Created Works and will provide such cooperation as the Parent or its designee shall  reasonably request in connection with the protection, exploitation or perfection of its rights therein anywhere in the world.
(c)    Power of Attorney.

The Executive will not at any time during or after the  Employment Period have or claim any right, title or interest in any trade name, trademark, or  copyright belonging to or used by any Company Entity, it being the intention of the Parties that the Executive shall, and hereby does, recognize that the Company Entities now have and shall  hereafter have and retain the sole and exclusive rights in any and all such trade names, trademarks  and copyrights. The Executive shall cooperate fully with any Company Entity during the Employment Period and thereafter in the securing of trade name, patent, trademark or copyright protection or other similar rights in the United States and in foreign countries and shall give  evidence and testimony and execute and deliver to the Company Entity all papers reasonably  requested by it in connection therewith; provided, however that the Company shall reimburse the  Executive for reasonable expenses related thereto.
OTHER COVENANTS
Section 7.1    409A Limitations. To the extent that any payment to the Executive  constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code (a “409A Payment”),  and such payment is triggered by the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason other  than death, then such 409A Payment shall not commence unless and until the Executive has  experienced a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-l(h)  (“Separation from Service”). Furthermore, if on the date of the Executive’s Separation from  Service, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. Section  l.409A-l(i), as determined from time to time by the Company, then such 409A Payment shall be  made to the Executive on the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months after the Executive’s  Separation from Service; or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. The 409A Payments under this  Agreement that would otherwise be made during such period shall be aggregated and paid in one  (1) lump sum, without interest, on the first business day following the end of the six (6) month  period or following the date of the Executive’s death, whichever is earlier, and the balance of the  409A Payments, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the applicable payment schedule provided  in this Agreement. The intent of the parties hereto is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and  guidance promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement  shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom. Whenever a payment under  this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “paid within sixty (60) days”) following the Executive’s termination of employment, such payment shall commence following the Executive’s Separation from Service and the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. With respect to reimbursements (whether such reimbursements are for business expenses or, to the extent permitted under the Company’s policies, other expenses) and/or in-kind benefits, in each case, that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, each of the following shall apply: (x) no reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Executive during any taxable year shall be made after the last day of the following taxable year of the Executive; (y) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a taxable year of the  Executive shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be  provided, to the Executive in any other taxable year; and (z) the right to reimbursement of such  expenses or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
Section 7.2    280G Matters.
(a)    Gross-Up Waiver. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that he shall have no rights to any additional payments intended to make the Executive whole for  any taxes relating to “parachute 
11








payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code),  including without limitation excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and any  related federal, state or local taxes (including without limitation any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) under any plans, agreements or arrangements, including the Grant Award Agreements by and between the Executive and the Parent and/or the Company.
(b)    Potential Reduction in Payments. The following shall apply with respect to  all plans, agreements and arrangements applicable to the Executive and shall supersede any  provisions in such plans, agreements or arrangements relating to the reduction of payments or benefits in connection with Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code.
(i)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if any portion of the payments or benefits under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with the Executive or plan of the Company or its affiliates (in the aggregate, “Total  Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” and would, but for  this Section 7.2, result in the imposition on the Executive of an excise tax under  Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Total Payments to be made  to the Executive shall either be (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered in such reduced  amount in the manner determined in accordance with Section 7.2(b)(ii) so that no  portion of such Total Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of  the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) results in the receipt by the Executive of the greatest  benefit on an after-tax basis (taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax). The determinations with respect to this  Section 7.2(b) shall be made by an independent auditor (the “Auditor”) paid by the  Company. The Auditor shall be a nationally recognized certified public accounting  firm or other professional organization that is a certified public accounting firm  recognized as an expert in determinations and calculations for purposes of  Section 280G of the Code that is selected by the Parent or the Company for  purposes of making the applicable determinations hereunder.
(ii)    If the Auditor determines that payments or benefits included in the Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated, such reduction or elimination shall be accomplished by applying the following principles, in order: (1) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (2) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (3) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Section 409A of the Code, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payments or benefits included in the Total Payments (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments).
(iii)    It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to this Section 7.2, the Executive will receive Total Payments that are, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amount provided under this Section 7.2 (hereafter referred to as an “Excess Payment” or “Underpayment,” respectively). If it is established, pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding that has been finally and conclusively resolved, that an Excess Payment has been made, then the Executive shall promptly pay an amount equal to  the Excess Payment to the Company (or the Parent), together with interest on such  amount at the applicable federal rate (as defined in and under Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the Executive’s receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such payment. In the event that it is determined by the Auditor upon request by a Party that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall promptly pay an  amount equal to the Underpayment to the Executive, together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive had the provisions of this Section 7.2 not been applied until the date of such payment.
12








(iv) The Company agrees that, in connection with making determinations under this Section 7.2, it shall instruct the Auditor to take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Executive in connection with making determinations with respect to Section 280G and/or Section 4999 of the Code, including the non-competition provisions applicable to the Executive under Article VI of this Agreement and any other non-competition provisions that may apply to the Executive, and the Company and the Parent agree to fully cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions.
Section 7.3    The Company agrees to directly pay within 30 business days following the Company’s receipt of an invoice from counsel, all reasonable legal fees and expenses that Executive incurs in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, up to a maximum of $20,000.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1    Waiver or Modification. Any waiver by either Party of a breach of any  provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or to be, construed to be a waiver of any other  breach of such provision of this Agreement. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence  to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive  that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any part of it may be waived, changed or terminated orally, and any waiver, amendment or modification must be in writing and signed by each of the Parties.
Section 8.2    Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and  permitted assigns.

The  Company may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest, including the purchaser of all or  substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that the Company shall remain liable  hereunder unless the assignee purchased all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Executive may not assign any of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement.
Section 8.3    Mitigation/Offset.

Section 8.4    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of  counterparts, each of which shall, when executed, be deemed to be an original and all of which  shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument; and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.
Section 8.5    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed and  construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflicts of law rules, which might result in the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. Any  dispute, controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort or statute, between the Parties arising  out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement, or in any amendment, modification  hereof (including, without limitation, any dispute, controversy or claim as to the validity,  interpretation, enforceability or breach of this Agreement or any amendment or modification  hereof) will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in the State of Colorado.

Section 8.6    Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to  this Agreement, other than claims entitling the claimant to injunctive relief or claims or disputes  arising from a violation or alleged violation by the Executive of the provisions of Article VI shall  be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration in Denver, Colorado in accordance with the  Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and  judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, if possible. If the parties fail to  reach agreement upon appointment of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following receipt by one party of the other party’s notice of desire to arbitrate, the arbitrator shall be selected from a  panel or panels of persons submitted by the AAA. The selection process shall be that which is set  forth in the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules then prevailing. The costs of the arbitrator shall  be borne by both parties equally; provided that each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees. Either  party may appeal the arbitration award and judgment thereon and, in actions seeking to vacate an  award, the standard of review to be applied to the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of  law will be the same as that applied by an appellate court reviewing a decision of a trial court  sitting without a jury. This agreement to arbitrate shall not preclude the parties from engaging in  voluntary, non-binding settlement efforts including mediation.
