Processors, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the "Company"), and
Stanley L. Sitton (the "Employee") is made and entered into effective as of
April 22, 2002 (the "Effective Date").

         WHEREAS, Employee is a key employee of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the Company and its members if
the key employees can approach material business decisions objectively and
without concern for their personal situation; and

key employees to the detriment of the Company and its members; and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
authorized and directed the Company to enter into this Agreement or other
similar agreements in order to help retain and motivate key employees and to
help ensure continuity of key employees;

                           aforementioned six month period that would give rise

                           this Agreement shall extend to the date of that

                           impair any rights of Employee arising hereunder on or

                           "disability" shall mean due to sickness or injury
                           where an Employee is unable to perform the material
                           duties of the Employee's occupation with the Company.

         4.       PARACHUTE TAX GROSS UP.

                  Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor or
                  similar provision) ("Excise Tax"), the Company shall promptly
                  pay Employee an additional amount in cash (the "Additional

                  including, without limitation, any income taxes and Excise
                  Tax, imposed on the Additional Payment, Employee retains an
                  amount of the Additional Payment equal to the Excise Tax

                  Payments. Such determinations shall be made by the Company's
                  independent certified public accountants.

         5.       NO OFFSET.

                  The amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
                  Agreement shall not be reduced or offset against any amount
                  claimed to be owed by Employee to the Company or otherwise.

         6.       SUCCESSOR AGREEMENT.

                  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
                  indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
                  all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
                  Company to assume expressly in writing prior to the effective
                  date of such succession and agree to perform this Agreement in
                  the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
                  be required to perform if no succession had taken place.
                  Failure of the successor to so assume as provided herein shall
                  constitute a breach of this Agreement and immediately entitle
                  Employee to the payments hereunder as if triggered by a Change
                  of Control.

         7.       NOTICES.

         This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") dated the 1st day of April,

12 months before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term (and in that
case this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the Initial Term or the
Renewal Term as applicable). For purposes of this Agreement, the "Employment
Term" means the Initial Term and each Renewal Term, subject to early termination

business, whether or not such business activity or business is for gain, profit
or other pecuniary advantage, provided, however, that nothing herein shall

investment is made, or (iii) serving in various capacities with, and attending
meetings of, industry or trade groups and associations, including without
limitation the industry or trade groups and associations with which the Employee
is currently involved, as long as the Employee's engaging in any one or more of
the activities permitted by virtue of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above does not
or do not materially and unreasonably interfere with the ability of the Employee
to perform the servies and discharge the responsibilities required of him under
this Agreement.

         3. BASE SALARY; INCENTIVE COMPENSATION BENEFITS. The Company will
provide the Employee with the compensation and benefits described below:

Employee until payments are actually made to the Employee.

              e. OTHER BENEFITS. Employee shall entitled to participate in
Company's 401(k) plan and all other employee benefit plans or programs of the
Company to the extent that his position, title, tenure, salary, age, health and

program during the term of this agreement, and Employee's participation in any
such plan or program shall be subject to the provisions, rules and regulations
applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not establish

acknowledges that the above-described knowledge or information constitutes a
unique and valuable asset of the Company and represents a substantial investment

Employment Term, the Employee agrees (i) not, without the prior written consent
of the

<PAGE>

company or as may be otherwise required by law or legal process, to communicate
or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to any party other than the

information, knowledge or data in his possession, whether produced by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries and corporate affiliates or any past, current
or prospective activity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

as are necessary in order to enable the Employee to assert any rights under this
Agreement, provided that such data shall be used solely for such purpose.

         7. CUSTOMER LISTS. The Employee recognizes and acknowledges that any
written list or lists of the customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates ("customer lists"), as such customer lists may exist from time to
time, are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company. The Employee
agrees that he will not use such customer lists for his own personal benefit or
disclose such customer lists to any person, firm, corporation, association or
other entity for his own personal benefit.

         8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
the Employee of the provisions of Sections 6 or 7 of this Agreement during or
after the Employment Term, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief
restraining the Employee from violation of such provision. Nothing herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedy at law or
in equity it may have in the even of breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement by the Employee.

         9. BINDING EFFECT.

              a. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Company and any of its successors, or assigns, or purchasers.

              b. This Agreement is personal to the Employee and shall not be
assignable by the Employee without consent of the Company (there being no
obligation to give such consent) other than such rights or benefits as are
transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

              c. The Company will require any successor or assignee (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all or
substantially all of the assets or businesses of the Company (i) to assume
unconditionally and expressly this Agreement and (ii) to agree to perform all of
the Company's obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent as would have been required of the Company had no assignment or
succession occurred, such assumption to be set forth in a writing reasonably
satisfactory to the Employee. In the event of any such assignment or succession,
the term "Company" as used in this Agreement shall refer also to such successor
or assignee.
