follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

ARTICLE 2

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 2.01 Guarantees.

     (a) Subject to this Article 2, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of
the Indenture, this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company thereunder, that:

1

 

     (1) the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest
on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes,
if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; and

     (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or
any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed
in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise.

     Failing payment of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed when due, in each
case, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.

     (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Indenture or this
Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of
the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this
Agreement.

     (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such
Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force
and effect.

     (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Note Guarantee. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under this Note Guarantee will
have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor in an amount equal to such
non-paying Guarantor’s pro-rata portion of such payment based on the

2

 

respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under this Note Guarantee.

Section 2.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

     Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum
amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 2, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

Section 2.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

     To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees
that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to this
Agreement will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor or person authorized by a resolution of
the Board of Directors of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and that this Agreement will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 2.01 hereof will
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of
such Note Guarantee.

     If an Officer whose signature is on this Agreement or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed,
the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

     The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will
constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the
Guarantors.

     In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries forms or otherwise
acquires, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, if required by
Section 4.20 of the Indenture, the Company will cause such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the
Notes and to comply with the provisions of Section 4.20 of the Indenture and this Article 2, to the
extent applicable.

Section 2.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05 hereof, no Guarantor may consolidate with or
merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions,
all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:

     (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if not the Guarantor shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which the Guarantor was organized
or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, and the Person shall expressly assume, by executing a supplemental indenture satisfactory
to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Guarantor under the Indenture, this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement;

     (b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis,
and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee
Person as a result of the transaction as having been issued by the Person at the time of the
transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

     (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture
complies with the Indenture.

     The provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above shall not apply to any one or more transactions
involving a Guarantor which constitute an Asset Sale if such transactions are made in compliance
with the applicable provisions of Section 4.10 of the Indenture.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease, or sale, and upon the
assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and
the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture and this
Agreement to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be
substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.
Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be
endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture and this Agreement as the Note Guarantees
theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and this Agreement
as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

     Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(c) of this section 2.04, nothing contained in the Indenture, this Agreement or in any of the Notes
will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another
Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

4

 

Section 2.05 Releases.

     The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released and such Guarantor shall be
deemed automatically released and relieved of any and all obligations under its Note Guarantee
without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder:

     (a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, in each case so long as such sale or other disposition is made in accordance with Section
5.01 and Section 4.10 of the Indenture;

     (b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that
Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case so long as such sale or disposition
is made in accordance with Section 5.01 and Section 4.10 of the Indenture

     (c) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

     (d) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with
Article 8 and Article 10 of the Indenture.

     In the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an
Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 and 5.01
thereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the
release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

     Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this
Section 2.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the
Indenture and as provided in this Article 2.

Section 2.06 Withholding Taxes.

     All payments of, or in respect of, principal of, premium and interest on, the Notes under the
Note Guarantees will be made by the Guarantors without withholding or deduction for, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
imposed or levied by or on behalf of Singapore or any other jurisdiction in which any Guarantor is
organized or resident for tax purposes or from or through which payment is made, (including, in
each case, any political subdivision thereof) (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or any authority
thereof or therein having power to tax unless these taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges are required to be withheld or deducted. In that event, such Guarantor agrees to pay such
additional amounts as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of the
Relevant Jurisdiction) in the payment to each Holder of a Note of

5

 

the amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Notes or under the Note Guarantees had
no withholding or deduction been required (such amounts, “Additional Amounts”), except that no
Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:

     (a) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed
but for the fact that such Holder:

     (1) has a present or former connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction other
than the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such Note or under the Note
Guarantees; or

     (2) presented such Note more than 30 days after the date on which the payment
in respect of such Note first became due and payable or provided for, whichever is later,
except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if
it had presented such Note for payment on any day within such period of 30 days;

     (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax,
assessment or other governmental charge;

     (c) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by
deduction or withholding from payment of interest or principal on the Notes or under the Note
Guarantees;

     (d) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of a Note with a request by
the Company or such Guarantor addressed to the Holder (A) to provide information concerning the
nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such Beneficial Owner or (B) to make any
declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which, in
the case of (A) and (B), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative
practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax,
duty, assessment or other governmental charge; or

     (e) any combination of the items listed above;

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or premium or
interest on any Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
Beneficial Owner of the payment to the extent that, if the Beneficial Owner had held the note
directly, such Beneficial Owner would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts.

          If any taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from payments on the Notes under the Note
Guarantees, such Guarantor shall promptly provide a receipt of the payment of such taxes (or if
such receipt is not available, any other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the trustee).

          Any reference herein to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note shall be
deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the Indenture and

6

 

this Agreement to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be
payable under the Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.01 Notices.

     Any notice or communication by the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee to the others is duly
given if in writing and delivered in Person or by first class mail (registered or certified, return
receipt requested), facsimile transmission or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery,
to the others’ address (a) if to the Company and/or any Guarantor, at the Company’s address set
forth in the Indenture and (b) if to the Trustee, to the Trustee’s address set forth in the
Indenture.

     All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been
duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being
deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by
facsimile; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air
courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

     Any notice or communication to a Holder will be mailed by first class mail, certified or
registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to
its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar. Any notice or communication will also be
so mailed to any Person described in TIA § 313(c), to the extent required by the TIA. Failure to
mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with
respect to other Holders.

     If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time
prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

     If the Company or a Guarantor mails a notice or communication to Holders, it will mail a copy

     No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of any
Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Guarantors under the Notes,
the Indenture, this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Section 3.03 Governing Law.

     THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE NOTE GUARANTEE WITHOUT

7

 

GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION
OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

Section 3.04 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

     This Agreement may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan, guarantee or debt
agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or
debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Agreement.

Section 3.05 Successors.

     All agreements of each Guarantor in this Agreement will bind its successors, except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.05 hereof. All agreements of the Trustee in this Agreement will
bind its successors.

Section 3.06 JURISDICTION.

     TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY
LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY HOLDER OR BY ANY PERSON WHO CONTROLS SUCH HOLDER OR
THE TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF SUCH HOLDER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND ANY CLAIM THAT
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING.

Section 3.07 Waiver of Immunity.

     To the extent that each Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or
otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from
set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with
respect to itself or any of its property, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not
to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 3.08 Process Agent.

     Each Guarantor has appointed CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), as its agent to
receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaints and any other process which
may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby brought in such New York State or federal court sitting in The
City of New York. Each Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action

8

 

as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force
and effect for a period of five years from the date of this Agreement. Such service may be made by
delivering a copy of such process to any Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the address for
the Process Agent and obtaining a receipt therefor, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs such Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Each Guarantor
represents and warrants that the Process Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of
process, and agrees that service of process in such manner upon the Process Agent shall be deemed,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in every respect effective service of process
upon each Guarantor in any such suit, action or proceeding.

Section 3.09 Severability.

     In case any provision in this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

Section 3.10 Currency Indemnity.

     The U.S. dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the
Guarantors in connection with the Notes. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than
the U.S. dollar in respect of the Notes (whether as a result of, or for the enforcement of, a
judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of a Guarantor
or otherwise) by the Trustee or any Holder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the
Guarantors will constitute a discharge of the Guarantors only to the extent of the U.S. dollar
amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that
other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not possible to make that
purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is possible to do so). If that U.S. dollar
amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the
Guarantors will indemnify the recipient against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event
the Guarantors will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase.

     For the purposes of this Section 3.10, it will be sufficient for a Holder or the Trustee to
certify that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of U.S. dollars been made with
the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase
of U.S. dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have
been practicable). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the
other obligations of the Guarantors, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
will apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder or the Trustee and will continue in
full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in
respect of any sum due under any Note or any other judgment or order.

Section 3.11 Currency Calculation.

     Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, for purposes of determining compliance with
any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction herein, the U.S. dollar-equivalent amount for purposes
hereof that is denominated in a non-U.S. dollar currency shall be calculated based on

9

 

the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such non-U.S. dollar amount is
incurred or made, as the case may be.

Section 3.12 Counterpart Originals.

     The parties may sign any number of copies of this Agreement. Each signed copy will be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

Section 3.13 Headings, etc.

     The Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience
of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Agreement and will in no way modify or
restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF NOTATION OF GUARANTEE

     For value received, each Guarantor (which term includes any successor Person under the
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement) has, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed, to the
extent set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and subject to the provisions in the

      THIS
        OPTION AGREEMENT
        (the
“Agreement”)
        is
        entered into effective as of the 22nd
        day of

        a
        Colorado bank holding company (the “Company”),
        and
        the employee designated above (the “Optionee”).

      

      W I T N E S S E T H:

      

      WHEREAS,
        the Vail
        Banks, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
        was
        adopted by the Company, effective April 20, 1998; and

      

      WHEREAS,
        as of
        the date hereof, the Committee responsible for administration of the Plan
        granted the Option as provided herein;

      

      NOW,
        THEREFORE,
        the
        parties agree as follows:

      

      1.         
        Grant
        of Option.

      

      1.1         
        Option.
        An
        option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per
        share, (the “Shares”)
        is
        hereby granted to the Optionee (the “Option”).

       

      1.2         
        Number
        of Shares.
        The
        number
        of Shares that the Optionee can purchase upon exercise of the Option and
        the
        dates upon which the Option can first be exercised are set forth
        above.

       

      1.3         
        Option
        Exercise Price.
        The
        price the Optionee must pay to exercise the Option (the “Option
        Exercise Price”)
        is set
        forth above.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      1.4         
        Date
        of Grant.
        The
        date the Option is granted (the “Grant
        Date”)
        is set
        forth above.

       

      1.5         
        Type
        of Option.
        The
        Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning
        of
        Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to
        time,
        or any successor provision thereto, and
        shall
        be so construed; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall
        be
        interpreted as a representation, guarantee or other undertaking on the part
        of
        the Company that the Option is or will be determined to be an Incentive Stock
        Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. To the extent this
        Option
        is not treated as an Incentive Stock Option, it will be treated as a
        Nonqualified Stock Option.

       

      1.6          
        Construction.
        This
        Agreement shall be construed in accordance and consistent with, and subject
        to,
        the provisions of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated herein
        by
        reference) and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the capitalized
        terms used in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth
        in the
        Plan.

      

        1.7         
          Condition.
          The
          Option is conditioned on the Optionee’s execution of this Agreement. If this
          Agreement is not executed by the Optionee it may be canceled by the
          Committee.

      

       

      2.         
        Duration.
        

      

      The
        Option shall be exercisable to the extent and in the manner provided herein
        for
        a period of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Exercise
        Term”);
        provided, however, that the Option may be earlier terminated as provided
        in
        Section 1.7 and Section 5 hereof.

       

      3.         
        Vesting.
        

      

      Subject
        to earlier termination of the Option as provided in Section 1.7 and Section
        5
        hereof or in the Plan, if the Optionee remains employed by the Company, the
        Optionee shall become vested in the Option, and the Option may be exercised
        with
        respect to the Shares, based upon the Company’s achievement of the performance
        targets and other performance goals set forth on Schedule A attached hereto
        and
        made a part hereof (as such Schedule A may be supplemented or amended from
        time
        to time), as follows: 25% of the Option shall vest on each anniversary of
        the
        Grant Date (each such date shall be a “Vesting Date” and August 22, 2009 shall
        be the “Final Vesting Date”) if the performance targets or other goals with
        respect to such Vesting Date have been satisfied on or before the Vesting
        Date.
        On each Vesting Date (if the performance targets and other performance goals
        have been met), Optionee shall have the right to purchase the Shares that
        have
        become vested. If the performance targets and other performance goals for
        a
        Vesting Date are not met, unless the Company otherwise, determines the portion
        of the Option that would vest on such Vesting Date shall be forfeited and
        cancelled as of such Vesting Date. The right to purchase the Shares as they
        become vested shall be cumulative and shall continue during the Exercise
        Term
        unless sooner terminated as provided herein.

      

      4.         
        Manner
        of Exercise and Payment. 

      

      4.1         
        To
        exercise the Option, the Optionee must deliver a completed copy of the
Option
        Exercise Form,
        attached hereto as Exhibit
        A,
        to the
        address indicated on such Form or such other 

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      address
        designated by the Company from time to time. The Option may be exercised
        in
        whole or in part with respect to the vested Shares; provided, however, the
        Committee may establish a minimum number of Shares (e.g., 100) for which
        an
        Option may be exercised at a particular time. Within thirty (30) days of
        delivery of the Option Exercise Form, the Company shall deliver certificates
        evidencing the Shares to the Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer to the
        Optionee, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges or other
        claims or charges. Contemporaneously
        with the delivery of the Option Exercise Form, Optionee shall tender the
        Option
        Exercise Price to the Company, by cash, check, wire transfer or such other
        method of payment (e.g., by delivery, or attestation to ownership, of Shares
        already owned) as may be acceptable to the Committee pursuant to the
        Plan.

       

      4.2         
        The
        Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights
        of a holder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until (i) the
        Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
        and the
        Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price for the number of Shares
        in
        respect of which the Option was exercised, (ii) the Company shall have issued
        and delivered the Shares to the Optionee, and (iii) the Optionee’s name shall
        have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company,
        whereupon the Optionee shall have full voting and other ownership rights
        with
        respect to such Shares.

       

      5.         
        Termination
        of Employment.

      

      5.1         
        Termination
        by Death.
        In the
        event the Optionee dies while actively employed, all outstanding unvested
        Options granted to the Optionee shall immediately vest, and thereafter all
        vested Options shall remain exercisable at any time prior to the end of the
        Exercise Term, or for one (1) year after the date of death, whichever period
        is
        shorter, (i) by such person(s) who have acquired Optionee’s rights by will or
        the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) if no such person in (i) exists,
        by the executor or representative of the Optionee’s estate.

       

      5.2         
        Termination
        by Disability.
        In the
        event the employment of the Optionee is terminated by reason of Disability,
        all
        outstanding unvested Options granted to the Optionee shall immediately vest
        as
        of the date the Committee determines the definition of Disability to have
        been
        satisfied by the Optionee, and thereafter all vested Options shall remain
        exercisable at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Term, or for one
        (1)
        year after the date that the Committee determines the definition of Disability
        to have been satisfied, whichever period is shorter.

       

      5.3         
        Termination
        for Cause.
        If
        the
        Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, all outstanding
        unvested Options granted to the Optionee shall expire, and Optionee’s right to
        exercise any then outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall terminate
        immediately upon the date that the Committee determines is the Optionee’s date
        of termination of employment.

       

      5.4         
        Termination
        of Employment for Other Reasons.
        If the
        Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or the
        Optionee voluntarily terminates his employment (including upon Retirement),
        all
        outstanding unvested Options shall expire, and any Options vested as of his
        date
        of termination shall remain exercisable at any time prior to the
        end
        of the Exercise Term
        or for
        three (3) months after his date of termination of employment, whichever period
        is shorter.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      5.5         
        Employment
        by Subsidiary.
        For
        purposes of this Section and Section 8, employment with the Company includes
        employment with any Subsidiary of the Company and service as a Director of
        the
        Company or any Subsidiary shall be considered employment with the Company.
        A
        change of employment between the Company and any Subsidiary or between
        Subsidiaries is not a termination of employment under this
        Agreement.

       

      5.6         
        Change
        In Control.
        In the
        event a Change in Control occurs while the Optionee is employed by the Company,
        all outstanding unvested Options granted to the Optionee shall immediately
        vest
        and become immediately exercisable. The Company, in its discretion, may
        terminate the Option upon a Change in Control; provided, however, that at
        least
        30 days prior to the Change in Control, the Company notifies the Optionee
        that
        the Option will be terminated and provides the Optionee, either, at the election
        of the Company, (i) a cash payment equal to the difference between the Fair
        Market Value of the vested Options (including Options that would become vested
        upon the Change in Control as provided above) and the Exercise Price for
        such
        Options, computed as of the date of the Change in Control and to be paid
        no
        later than 3 business days after the Change in Control, or (ii) the right
        to
        exercise all vested Options (including Options that would become vested upon
        the
        Change in Control as provided above) immediately prior to the Change in Control.
        If the Options remain outstanding after the Change in Control (including
        any
        substituted Options), the Options shall remain exercisable in accordance
        with
        the other provisions of this Section 5, provided that, notwithstanding the
        other
        provisions of this Agreement, the Options shall remain exercisable for a
        period
        of at least one year after the date of the Change in Control.

       

      6.         
        Nontransferability.
        

      

      The
        Option shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent
        and distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be
        exercisable only by the Optionee.

       

      7.         
        Securities
        Laws Restrictions.
        

      

      The
        Option may not be exercised at any time unless, in the opinion of counsel
        for
        the Company, the issuance and sale of the Shares issued upon such exercise
        is
        exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
        any
        other applicable federal or state securities law, rule or regulation, or
        the
        Shares have been duly registered under such laws. The Company shall not be
        required to register the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option
        under
        any such laws. Unless the Shares have been registered under all applicable
        laws,
        the Optionee shall represent, warrant and agree, as a condition to the exercise
        of the Option, that the Shares are being purchased for investment only and
        without a view to any sale or distribution of such Shares and that such Shares
        shall not be transferred or disposed of in any manner without registration
        under
        such laws, unless it is the opinion of counsel for the Company that such
        a
        disposition is exempt from such registration. The Optionee acknowledges that
        an
        appropriate legend giving notice of the foregoing restrictions may appear
        conspicuously on all certificates evidencing the Shares issued upon the exercise
        of the Option.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      8.         
        No
        Right to Continued Employment.

       

      Nothing
        in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer
        upon
        the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company
        or any Subsidiary, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any
        way
        with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the Optionee’s
        employment at any time.

       

      9.         
        Adjustments.

       

      In
        the
        event of a change in capitalization or corporate transaction, the Committee
        shall make appropriate adjustments to the number and class of Shares or other
        stock or securities subject to the Option and the purchase price for such
        Shares
        or other stock or securities. The Committee’s adjustment shall be made in
        accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Plan and shall be effective
        and final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and this
        Agreement.

       

      10.         
        Withholding
        of Taxes.

       

      10.1         
        The
        Company shall have the right to deduct from any distribution of cash to the
        Optionee an amount equal to the federal, state and local income taxes, any
        employment taxes payable by Optionee as an employee, and other amounts as
        may be
        required by law to be withheld (the “Withholding Taxes”) with respect to the
        Option. If the Optionee is entitled to receive Shares upon exercise of the
        Option, the Optionee shall pay the Withholding Taxes (if any) to the Company
        in
        cash prior to the issuance of such Shares. In satisfaction of the Withholding
        Taxes, the Optionee may make a written election (the “Tax Election”), to have
        withheld a portion of the Shares issuable to him or her upon exercise of
        the
        Option, having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the required Withholding
        Taxes (but not in excess of such amount), provided that, if the Optionee
        may be
        subject to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the election
        must
        comply with the requirements applicable to Share transactions by such
        Optionees.

       

      10.2         
        If
        the
        Optionee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the
        Code
        and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Share or Shares issued to
        him
        pursuant to his exercise of the Option within the two-year period commencing
        on
        the day after the Grant Date or within the one-year period commencing on
        the day
        after the date of transfer of such Share or Shares to the Optionee pursuant
        to
        such exercise, the Optionee shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition,
        notify the Company thereof, by delivery of written notice to the Company
        at its
        principal executive office, and immediately deliver to the Company the amount
        of
        Withholding Taxes.

       

      11.         
        Modification
        of Agreement.

       

      This
        Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated, and any terms
        or
        conditions may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties
        hereto.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      12.         
        Severability.

       

      Should
        any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
        to
        be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this
        Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full
        force
        in accordance with their terms.

       

      13.         
        Governing
        Law.

       

      The
        validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement
        shall
        be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to
        the
        conflicts of laws principles thereof.

       

      14.         
        Successors
        in Interest.

       

      This
        Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company
        and
        its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger,
        consolidation, reorganization, purchase of stock or assets, or otherwise,
        all or
        substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. This Agreement shall
        inure to the benefit of the Optionee’s heirs and legal representatives. All
        obligations imposed upon the Optionee and all rights granted to the Company
        under this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Optionee’s
        heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

       

      15.         
        Resolution
        of Disputes.

       

      Any
        dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any
        way
        relate to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement
        shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall
        be
        final, binding and conclusive on the Optionee and the Company for all
        purposes.
