Executive may terminate the employment of Executive by giving the Company at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice in writing of such resignation (including, as applicable, any retirement). The Company may elect to waive all or part of such notice period in its sole discretion. Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under this Policy by reason of Executive’s voluntary termination of employment from the Company; provided, however, that this Policy shall have no effect on the rights and benefits to which Executive is entitled upon retirement under (without limitation) any retirement or savings plan of the Company (including the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”)), or the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans (including applicable award agreements), each of which shall be governed exclusively by the terms of such plans and agreements, as applicable.
7.Release.
7.1As a condition precedent to receiving the payments and benefits as provided herein, Executive will execute (and not revoke) a general separation and release of claims agreement (the “Release”), in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. If Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release, or revokes the Release, Executive agrees that Executive shall not be entitled to receive the payments and benefits described herein. If Executive fails to comply with the terms of the Release, the Company may require payment to the Company of any benefits described in Sections 3 or 4 above that Executive has already received to the extent permitted by applicable law and with the “value” determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

5


Payment is due in cash or by check within ten (10) days after the Company provides notice to Executive that it is enforcing this provision. Any benefits described in Sections 3 or 4 above not yet received by such Executive will be immediately forfeited. For purposes of this Policy, the Release shall be considered to have been executed by Executive if it is signed by Executive’s legal representative in the case of legal incompetence or on behalf of Executive’s estate in the case of Executive’s death.
7.2Except as otherwise specified, payment of any amounts described hereunder that are subject to the Release will begin on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Date of Termination, with the first such payment to include any amounts attributable to payroll intervals occurring prior to such date, provided, however, that, to the extent that the payments are exempt from Section 409A, such exempt payments shall be made beginning with the first payroll date following the effectiveness of the Release.
8.Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive for any and all liabilities to which Executive may be subject as a result of Executive’s employment with the Company, as well as the costs of any legal action brought by or threatened against Executive as a result of such employment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.
9.Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of Executive’s employment by the Company and the rights and benefits of Executive provided by this Policy, by the later of (a) fourteen days after Executive’s receipt of this Policy and (b) the date that Executive becomes covered by this Policy, Executive will enter into the Restrictive Covenants Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto.
10.Compliance with Section 409A.
10.1Six-Month Delay for Specified Executives. If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to Executive in connection with Executive’s employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Executive is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i), no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one day after Executive’s employment is terminated (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to Executive during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
10.2Compliance. It is intended that this Policy comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent inclusion in gross income of any amounts payable or benefits provided hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts or benefits would otherwise actually be distributed, provided or otherwise made available to Executive. This Policy shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner consistent with this intent. If and to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Policy is determined by the Company to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and is payable to Executive by reason of Executive’s termination of employment, then such payment or benefit shall be made or provided to Executive only upon a “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Each severance payment under this Policy will be considered a “separate payment” and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event will the Company or its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive under Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

6


11.Withholding Taxes. All compensation payable pursuant to this Policy shall be subject to reduction by all applicable withholding, social security, and other federal, state, and local taxes and deductions, and the Company shall be authorized to make all such withholdings to the extent it determines necessary under applicable law.
12.Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that the Company may terminate the employment of Executive for any reason and at any time, with or without Cause, that this Policy does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain Executive as an employee and that this Policy does not prevent Executive from terminating employment at any time, subject to the notice provision set forth in Section 6.
13.Non-Duplication of Benefits; CIC Agreements. The Severance Benefit under this Policy is not intended to duplicate any other benefits provided by the Company in connection with the termination of an employee’s employment, such as wage replacement benefits, pay-in-lieu-of-notice, severance pay, or similar benefits under any other benefit plans, severance programs, employment contracts, or applicable federal or state laws, such as the WARN Acts. Should such other benefits be payable, the Severance Benefits under this Policy will be reduced accordingly or, alternatively, Severance Benefits previously paid under this Policy will be treated as having been paid to satisfy such other benefit obligations. In either case, the Company will determine how to apply this provision and may override other provisions in this Policy in doing so. In addition, and notwithstanding anything else provided herein, to the extent Executive is entitled to severance payments and benefits upon termination of employment under an Executive Change in Control Retention Agreement with the Company (a “Change in Control Agreement”), this Policy will cease to apply, and Executive’s entitlement to severance benefits shall be governed solely by the Change in Control Agreement.
14.Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Policy (including, without limitation, the accelerated vesting of any equity or incentive awards held by Executive) or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive shall be entitled to receive (A) the greatest amount so that no portion the payments shall be an excess parachute payment (the “Limited Amount”), or (B) if the amount of payments otherwise paid or provided (without regard to clause (A)) reduced by all taxes applicable thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) would be greater than the Limited Amount reduced by all taxes applicable thereto, then the amount of payments shall be the amount otherwise payable. Any reductions described in the preceding sentence shall be done in the manner that is least economically disadvantageous to Executive. Where the decision to cut back between two amounts is economically equivalent, but the amounts are payable at different times, the amounts will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
15.Administration. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the administration of this Policy and shall have all powers and duties necessary to fulfill its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee shall determine any and all questions of fact, resolve all questions of interpretation of the Policy which may arise, and exercise all other powers and discretion necessary to be exercised under the terms of the Policy which it is herein given or for which no contrary provision is made. The Compensation Committee shall have full power and discretion to interpret the Policy and related documents, to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies, and omissions, to determine any question of fact, and to determine the rights and benefits, if any, of any Executive or other employee, in accordance with the provisions of the Policy. The Compensation Committee’s decision with respect to any matter shall be final and binding on all parties concerned. The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision, or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review

7


if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly arbitrary or capricious. The Compensation Committee may, from time to time, by the action of its appropriate officers, delegate to designated persons or entities the right to exercise any of its powers or the obligation to carry out its duties under the Policy.
16.Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Policy at any time and in any manner, without consent or advance notice to Executives or other employees. No amendment or termination of the Policy shall affect the rights of an Executive whose Date of Termination has occurred prior to the date of such amendment or termination of the Policy and who remains entitled to severance payments or benefits under this Policy.

10


(iv)Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Executive from acquiring or owning less than one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock or debentures of a corporation whose securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, if such investment is otherwise permitted by the Company’s Human Resource and Conflict of Interest policies.
(v)The “Restricted Period” means a period of time beginning on the Date of Termination and ending after twenty-four (24) months for the Chief Executive Officer and eighteen (18) months for other Executive Committee Members.
(vi)In the event that this Section 1 or any provisions herein are deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the court shall modify such provisions to effect the original intent of the Parties to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If Section 1 or any provisions herein are deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable and cannot be reformed, such provisions shall be considered severable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
(c)Non-Solicitation of Business. In order to protect the Company’s trade secrets, defined in Section 1(a)(i) as Company Information, during the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or participate in the solicitation of any business of any type conducted by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, from any person, firm, or other entity which, during the Period of Employment or the Restricted Period, is or was a supplier or customer, or prospective supplier or customer, of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. In the event that this provision is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the court shall modify this provision to effect the original intent of the Parties to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If this provision is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable and cannot be reformed, this provision shall be considered severable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
(d)Non-Solicitation of Personnel. In order to protect the Company’s trade secrets, defined in Section 1(a)(i) as Company Information, during the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, employ, retain, solicit, or arrange to have any other person, firm, or other entity employ, retain, or solicit, or otherwise participate in the employment, retention, or solicitation of any person who was an employee or consultant of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, at any time during the period of twelve (12) consecutive months immediately preceding such employment or retention. In the event that this provision is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the court shall modify this provision to effect the original intent of the Parties to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If this provision is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable and cannot be reformed, this provision shall be considered severable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
(e)Non-Disparagement. Except for disclosures permitted under Section 1(a)(iii), during the Period of Employment, the Restricted Period, and thereafter, Executive will not maliciously disparage or defame the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective officers and directors or any person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the last twelve (12) months of Executive’s employment with Company. Such obligation not to disparage includes comments on social media, employee references, or other methods of communication. Executive acknowledges that the Company relies upon this representation in agreeing to enter this Agreement. These provisions shall not be construed to

11


limit Executive’s rights, if applicable, under the NLRA, including, but not limited to, non-supervisory employees; right to engage in protected concerted activity, including discussing terms and conditions of employment with coworkers and attempting to improve terms and conditions of employment through channels outside the immediate employee-employer relationship, such as through the NLRB. These provisions do not prevent Executive from enforcing Executive’s Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”). Further, nothing in this Separation Agreement shall be interpreted to limit Executive’s ability to (a) disclose or discuss, either orally or in writing, any alleged discriminatory or unfair employment practice, and as such, Executive shall not be deemed as bound by a Nondisclosure Provision as such term is defined pursuant to Colorado’s Promoting Opportunities and Workers’ Rights Act; or (b) communicate with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bureau of Industry and Security, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (a “Government Agency” or collectively, the “Government Agencies”) or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that any Government Agency may conduct, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.
(f)Preservation of Business. During the Period of Employment, Executive will use Executive’s best efforts to advance the business and organization of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, to keep available to the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, the services of present and future employees and to advance the business relations with its suppliers, distributors, customers and others.
(g)Patents and Copyrights, etc. Executive agrees, without additional compensation, to make available to the Company all knowledge possessed by Executive relating to any methods, developments, inventions, processes, discoveries, or improvements (whether patented, patentable or unpatentable) which concern in any way the business of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether acquired by Executive before or during Executive’s Period of Employment. Any methods, developments, inventions, processes, discoveries, or improvements (whether patented, patentable or unpatentable) which Executive conceived of or made, related directly or indirectly to the business or affairs of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any part thereof, during the Period of Employment, shall be and remain the property of the Company. Executive agrees promptly to communicate and disclose all such methods, developments, inventions, processes, discoveries, or improvements to the Company and to execute and deliver to it any instruments deemed necessary by the Company to effect the disclosure and assignment thereof to it. Executive also agrees, on request and at the expense of the Company, to execute patent applications and any other instruments deemed necessary by the Company for the prosecution of such patent applications or the acquisition of Letters Patent in the United States or any other country and for the assignment to the Company of any patents which may be issued. The Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless from any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, or damages sustained by Executive by reason of having made such patent applications or being granted such patents.
(h)Writings and Other Materials. Any writings or other materials written or produced by Executive or under Executive’s supervision (whether alone or with others and whether or not during regular business hours), during the Period of Employment which are related, directly or indirectly, to the business or affairs of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or are capable of being used therein, and the copyright thereof, common law or statutory, including all renewals and extensions, shall be and remain the property of the

Company. Executive agrees promptly to communicate and disclose all such writings or materials to the Company and to execute and deliver to it any instruments deemed necessary by the Company to affect the disclosure and assignment thereof to it. Executive further agrees, on request and at the expense of the Company, to take any and all action deemed necessary by the Company to obtain copyrights or other protections for such writings or other materials or to protect the Company’s right, title and interest therein. The Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold Executive harmless from any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, or damages sustained by Executive by reason of Executive’s compliance with the Company’s request.
(i)Return of Documents. Executive will promptly furnish in writing to the Company, its subsidiaries, or affiliates any information reasonably requested by the Company (including any third-party confirmations) with respect to any activity or interest Executive may have in any business.
(j)Acknowledgments. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions in this Section 1 are reasonable in scope and duration. Further, Executive acknowledges that they were provided this Agreement prior to accepting the Company’s offer of employment. In the event that Executive is provided this Agreement after their commencement of employment with the Company, Executive acknowledges that the non-competition obligations set forth in Section 1(b) of the Agreement will take effect fourteen (14) days after Executive was provided this Agreement.
2.Enforcement.
(a)Executive acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business and the goodwill of the Company. In the event any such restriction is deemed to be unreasonable by any court of competent jurisdiction, Executive agrees to the reduction of such time and/or geographical restriction to such restriction which such court shall deem reasonable. Executive acknowledges that the Company has no adequate remedy at law and will be irreparably harmed if Executive breaches or threatens to breach the provisions of this Agreement, and, therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy it may have. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies at law or in equity that it may have or any other rights that it may have under any other agreement.
(b)Except as expressly herein provided, nothing contained herein is intended to prevent Executive, at any time after the Date of Termination, from either (i) being gainfully employed or (ii) exercising Executive’s skills and abilities, provided in either case the provisions of this Agreement are complied with.
3.Consideration. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s severance entitlements under the Severance Policy between the Company and Executive constitute valid consideration for the promises and commitments made in this Agreement.

Any action for injunctive relief under this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by a state or Federal court located in the State of Colorado. Any other dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement or Executive’s employment with the Company shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
