        Your attendance at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is requested. The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to transact business. If you execute, date and return your Proxy in the accompanying form, your shares represented on the Proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        Our Certificate of Incorporation establishes three classes of directors, each of which serves a three-year term. In each successive year, one class of directors is elected. The Board of Directors has nominated Brion G. Wise, Richard B. Robinson and Peter A. Dea for election as Class One Directors.

        The terms of the Class One directors, if elected, will expire on the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2005, or when their successors are elected and qualified. If any of the nominees is not elected or is unable to serve, the remaining board members may elect a substitute or may reduce the size of the board, in accordance with our Bylaws.

        THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL ONE, THE ELECTION OF CLASS ONE DIRECTORS.

        The current directors, including the nominees, are described under the caption "Directors and Officers."


PROPOSAL TWO
2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

        In February 2002, the Board of Directors approved the proposal of the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, for a vote by our stockholders. The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2002 Plan which is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the 2002 Plan, attached hereto as Appendix A. The 2002 Plan is intended to be an incentive plan in accordance with the provision of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 2002 Plan provides for the grant of options to acquire shares of our common stock. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted under the 2002 Plan is 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The 2002 Plan also provides that stock options may be granted to all employees including as an incentive upon the hiring of an employee. Under the 2002 Plan, the board of directors determines and designates from time to time those employees to whom options are granted. No stock option grants under the 2002 Plan have been made. If any option terminates or expires prior to being exercised, the shares relating to the option are released and may be subject to re-issuance under a new option. The board has the right to, among other things, fix the price, terms and conditions for the grant or exercise of any option, including vesting schedules based on elapsed time or our performance. In granting the options to acquire common stock, the board will consider among other things, our financial performance and the performance of the individual. No employee may be granted more than 125,000 options to acquire common stock in any fiscal year. The purchase price of the stock under each option shall be the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted and no options shall be repriced. For purposes of the 2002 Plan, fair market value shall mean the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions average closing price for the stock reflected in The Wall Street Journal or another publication selected by the board for the ten trading days preceding the day the Option is granted to each employee. The 2002 Plan requires the employee to exercise the option at the earlier of ten years from the date of the 2002 Plan or within five years of the date each portion vests. The employee's right to exercise options under the 2002 Plan is subject to continuous employment since the grant was made. If the employee dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of the 2002 Plan) or a change of control occurs, then all of the options granted to the employee shall become 100% exercisable. Although options covering 862,719 shares remain to be granted under the 1993 and 1997 Stock Option Plans, no further options will be granted under either plan.

        THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL TWO, THE 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.

PROPOSAL THREE
2002 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

        In April 2002, the Board of Directors approved the proposal of the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, for a vote by our stockholders. The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2002 Plan which is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the 2002 Plan, attached hereto as Appendix B. We have reserved 110,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2002 Director Plan. The 2002 Director Plan provides for a three year vesting schedule while the non-employee director serves on our board. Under the 2002 Director Plan, after May 2002, a newly elected non-employee director will be granted 5,000 options to acquire common stock as of the date of election. The 2002 Director Plan also provides for an annual grant to each non-employee director of 2,000 options to acquire common stock on the date of our annual meeting. The purchase price of the stock under each option shall be the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted, and no options shall be repriced. For purposes of the 2002 Director Plan, fair market value shall mean the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions average closing price for the stock reflected in The Wall Street Journal or another publication selected by the board for the ten trading days preceding the day the Option is granted to each non-employee director. The 2002 Director Plan requires the non-employee director to exercise the option at the earlier of ten years from the date of the 2002 Director Plan or within five years of the date each portion vests. The non-employee director's right to exercise options under the 2002 Director Plan is subject to continuous service since the grant was made. If the non-employee director dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of the 2002 Director Plan) or a change of control occurs, then all of the options granted to the non-employee director shall become 100% exercisable.

        THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL THREE, THE 2002 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN.

        The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to elect directors, approve the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and approve the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. If you vote to abstain, your shares will be treated as present for purposes of determining whether a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are present. These proposals require a plurality of the votes cast to pass. Under Delaware law, in tabulating the vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

        The board of directors held 17 meetings during 2001. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board and its committees on which each director served during the year. The board of directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation and Nominating Committee, as well as other committees. Only non-employee directors serve on each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Nominating Committee.

    Audit Committee

        Messrs. Reid, Robinson and Senty are members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of independent auditors, reviews the plan, scope, and results of the audit, monitors the fees for the audit and other services and reviews the findings and recommendations of the independent accountants concerning internal accounting procedures and controls. The Audit Committee also recommends accounting and internal auditing policies that, in the Audit Committee's judgment, should receive the attention of the board of directors. The Audit Committee's duties are more fully set forth in the written Audit Committee's Charter adopted by the board of directors in 2000.

        The Audit Committee met five times in 2001, in addition to their consultations with the independent auditors to review our interim financial statements. All members attended at least 75% of these meetings. The board of directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee has the requisite financial literacy and independence in order to serve on the Audit Committee. We consider all the Audit Committee members to be "independent directors" as defined by the regulations of the New York Stock Exchange because they have no significant holdings of our stock, they have never been employed by us, and they receive no material compensation from us other than director and committee fees. Any transactions between an Audit Committee member and us have been determined to be in the ordinary course of business on an arm's length basis. Additionally, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Reid has the requisite financial expertise as required by the regulations of the New York Stock Exchange.

    Compensation and Nominating Committee

        Messrs. Phillips, Reid, Robinson and Senty are members of the Compensation and Nominating Committee. The Compensation and Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the board regarding employee and executive officer compensation. The Compensation and Nominating Committee is also responsible for interviewing and nominating to the board candidates for director positions and in 2001, candidates for the Chief Executive Officer and President position. The Compensation and Nominating Committee met five times in 2001. All members attended at least 75% of these meetings.

        In recommending candidates to the board of directors, the Compensation and Nominating Committee seeks persons of proven judgment and experience. Stockholders who wish to suggest

8



qualified candidates may write a letter, via certified United States mail, return receipt requested, to our Secretary at 12200 North Pecos Street, Denver, Colorado 80234, stating in detail the qualifications of the persons they recommend. Stockholders must include a letter from each nominee affirming that he or she will agree to serve to serve as our director if elected by stockholders. However, through its own resources, the Compensation and Nominating Committee expects to be able to identify an ample number of qualified candidates. See "Stockholder Proposals" and "Advance Notice Provisions" for information on nominating persons for election to the board of directors at our 2003 Annual Meeting.

Remuneration of Directors

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, our non-employee directors received annual fees of $25,000 each, payable in quarterly installments, and annual fees of $5,000 for each committee on which a director served. Our directors, who are also full-time employees, receive no fees or remuneration for services as members of the board. Each director also has the option of obtaining company health insurance under similar terms as the executive officers. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of the directors, which, among other things, place the burden of proof upon us to prove in any particular instance that a director was not entitled to indemnification. These agreements also allow a director to seek the appointment of an independent legal counsel to determine whether indemnification is appropriate following various types of changes of control. See also "Stock Option, Retirement and Bonus Plans—Key Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan" included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Section 16 (a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related regulations require our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange initial reports of their beneficial ownership and reports of any changes in their beneficial ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. In addition, such persons are required to furnish us with copies of all filings. To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our directors and executive officers, all reports which were required during the fiscal year ended 2001 of our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial owners complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements except for the following late filings: Edward Aabak, James Senty, Walter Stonehocker and Brion Wise in May 2001 and J. Burton Jones, Lanny Outlaw and Vance Blalock in December 2001.

Transactions with Affiliates

        In 1989, we entered into agreements with two officers, which committed us to loan amounts sufficient to exercise some of their respective stock options. We will forgive the loans and accrued interest if the employee is continuously employed by us for periods specified by the board. At December 31, 2001, amounts outstanding were as follows: Lanny F. Outlaw, $418,814 related to options covering 25,000 shares and John C. Walter, $418,362 related to options covering 25,000 shares. The loans bear interest at a market rate established at the time each loan was made. The board has not yet determined when the loans for Mr. Walter will be forgiven.

        In May 2001, the Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended a consulting agreement with Mr. Outlaw, which was approved by the board. The consulting agreement has a term from November 1, 2001 through May 31, 2003. This agreement requires Mr. Outlaw to provide consulting services related to our business strategy, the budget and planning process and customer and business relations. As compensation for these services, Mr. Outlaw will receive a lump sum payment of $167,000 on or about May 31, 2002 and a lump sum payment of $175,000 on or about May 31, 2003. Subject to the terms of the agreement, the loans made to Mr. Outlaw in connection with the Agreement to

9



Provide Loan(s) to Exercise Key Employees' Stock Options will be forgiven in equal parts on May 31, 2002 and 2003.

        During the year ended December 31, 2001, we purchased from and sold to affiliates of Mr. Senty natural gas liquids for total payments and receipts of approximately $8,300. Mr. Robinson is a stockholder of the law firm of Lentz, Evans and King P.C., which has represented us in legal matters related to taxation and the retirement and stock option plans. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the total amount of legal fees paid to Lentz, Evans and King P.C. was approximately $79,000. At December 31, 2001, we had outstanding debt of $116.7 million with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, and paid interest of approximately $12.2 million related to these loans. These transactions were all entered into in the ordinary course of its business, on an arm's length basis.

The amounts shown on this table represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved if the options were exercised on the date the options expire. These undiscounted gains are based on assumed rates of stock appreciation of 0%, 5% and 10% compounded annually from the date the respective options were granted to their expiration date and do not reflect estimates or projections of the future price of our stock. The gains shown are net of the option price, but do not reflect any tax impact or expenses associated with the exercise. Actual gains, if any, will depend on the future performance of our common stock, the holder's continued employment through the option period and the date on which the options are exercised.

        The following table provides information with respect to the stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2001 and the value as of December 31, 2001 of unexercised in-the-money options held by the officers. The value realized on the exercise of options is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise. The value of unexercised in-the-money options at year-end is calculated using the

Ten-Year Option Repricings

        In March 1999, our executive officers were granted a total of 300,000 options to acquire common stock, which vest ratably over three years, under the 1997 Plan. The exercise price of $5.51 per share was determined by using the average stock price for the ten days prior to the grant. Options covering the following numbers of shares were issued as follows: Lanny F. Outlaw 42,000, John F. Chandler 36,000, John C. Walter 36,000, Edward A. Aabak 36,000, J. Burton Jones 30,000, Jeffery E. Jones 30,000, Brian E. Jeffries 30,000, William J. Krysiak 30,000 and Vance S. Blalock 30,000. In exchange, certain executive officers were required to relinquish a total of 246,200 vested and unvested options at prices ranging from $18.63 to $34.00 per share (see table below). The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that the granting of these options was a necessary incentive to induce the executive officers to remain with us and provide the additional efforts needed in 1999.

Report of the Compensation and Nominating Committee

Compensation of Executive Officers

        The annual compensation of each of the executive officers consists primarily of a base salary and incentive compensation comprised of a discretionary bonus and discretionary stock options. The executive officers also participate, along with our eligible employees, in our qualified retirement plan. According to the plan, the officer, as well as any eligible employees, can make elective salary contributions, accompanied by our match equal to a sliding scale of 60% to 100% of the first 5% of employee compensation based upon years of service and can receive a discretionary annual contribution equal to a specified percentage of base compensation.

        As a result of our financial performance in 2001 and data provided by the Chief Executive Officer and an independent consulting firm for peer companies in the industry and local market, the Chief Executive Officer recommended to the Compensation and Nominating Committee that the executive officers as a group receive pay increases averaging 5% of base salary. The board approved this increase.

        The Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended a bonus for executive officers for 2001 based upon data provided by the Chief Executive Officer and an independent consulting firm for peer companies in the industry and local market. The committee recommended that for the year ended December 31, 2001, John Walter, John Chandler, Edward Aabak and William Krysiak each receive a bonus of 50% of their salary or a total of $530,775, and all other officers each receive a bonus of 45% of their salary or a total of $452,183. The board approved this recommendation, and these bonuses were paid in January 2002.

        The Compensation and Nominating Committee also recommended, and the board approved, a contribution to our retirement plan of 7% of 2001 base salaries for all eligible employees, including each of the executive officers. In making this recommendation, the Compensation and Nominating Committee considered, among other things, our financial performance, as measured by net income and cash flow from operations, and the representative total compensation packages received by employees in the oil and gas industry.

        In June 2001, the Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended, and the board approved, a retention bonus of $100,000 for each of John Walter, John Chandler, Edward Aabak, and William Krysiak and bonuses ranging from $80,000 to $100,000 for each of the other officers. These bonuses are contingent upon the officer not voluntarily terminating employment for one year following the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer and President. Subject to continued employment, these bonuses will be paid on November 1, 2002. If each of our officers receives these bonuses, they will total $820,000.

        Also in June 2001, the Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended, and the board authorized, grants of 30,000 stock options to each of John Walter, John Chandler, Edward Aabak and William Krysiak and stock option grants covering 25,000 to 30,000 shares to each of the other officers. In addition to these grants, the executive officers, as a group, had been granted options in previous years to purchase an aggregate of 681,816 shares of our common stock. The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that options for our common stock are an important element of the executive officers' compensation package because options aid in the objectives of aligning the executive officers' interests with those of the stockholders and providing an opportunity for executive officers to have a direct stake in our performance.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

        During 2001, the board authorized the Compensation and Nominating Committee along with Bill Sanderson to evaluate both internal and external candidates to replace our retiring Chief Executive Officer and President, Lanny F. Outlaw. The committee interviewed candidates recommended by an executive search firm and other candidates in the industry. Upon conclusion of the search and evaluations, on October 15, 2001, the committee recommended Peter A. Dea to become our Chief Executive Officer and President. The board approved this recommendation.

        On October 15, 2001, we entered into a four-year employment agreement with Mr. Dea providing for a hire date of November 1, 2001. The employment agreement provided for an initial base salary of $475,000 per year and an incentive bonus ranging between 55% and 110% of base salary. The level of base compensation for 2002 was increased by 2.5%. The level of bonus is based upon attaining or exceeding operational and financial targets adopted by the board for each calendar year. If the minimum targets are not reached, Mr. Dea will not receive an incentive bonus for that calendar year. Based upon our financial performance during 2001, Mr. Dea received a bonus of $44,000. In addition, as an incentive to accept the Chief Executive Officer and President position, Mr. Dea was granted 300,000 stock options at an exercise price of $25.01 per share. This price represents a $5.00 discount to the closing price for our stock on October 15, 2001. The difference between the market price and the grant price will be recognized as compensation expense as the options vest. These options are non-qualified and were granted from an option plan created by the board specifically for this purpose. This plan did not require stockholder approval. The options vest 25% per year for four years beginning in October 2002. Mr. Dea's agreement also provides that he may be terminated at our written election at any time. If we terminate his agreement without cause, he is entitled to severance equal to one year's base salary plus a bonus equal to the prior calendar year's bonus. This amount increases to three times his base salary and bonus if the termination without cause occurs within one year after a change of control. In all cases, Mr. Dea is subject to covenants relating to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation of customers and employees following termination. Among other factors, the committee relied on information and recommendations provided by an independent executive search firm indicating that terms of this employment agreement were similar to the terms of comparable positions in the industry.

        Lanny F. Outlaw served as our Chief Executive Officer and President until he retired on November 1, 2001. Mr. Outlaw's compensation through November 1, 2001 consisted primarily of a pro-rated annual base salary of $425,000 and a pro-rated bonus of 50% of his base salary. The bonus percentage amount was determined in accordance with the bonuses approved by the board for all executive officers as previously described. Mr. Outlaw also participated in our qualified retirement plans. In evaluating the overall compensation package for Mr. Outlaw, the Compensation and Nominating Committee considered comparable salaries for comparable positions in the industry and our financial performance, as measured by net income and cash flow from operations.

        In June 2001, as an incentive to Mr. Outlaw to extend his retirement date to October 31,2001 and to provide transitional support to Mr. Dea, the Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended, and the board approved, a consulting agreement with Mr. Outlaw. The consulting agreement has a term from November 1, 2001 through May 31, 2003. This agreement requires Mr. Outlaw to provide consulting services related to our business strategy, the budget and planning process and customer and business relations. As compensation for these services, Mr. Outlaw will receive a lump sum payment of $167,000 on or about May 31, 2002 and a lump sum payment of $175,000 on or about May 31, 2003. The agreement also provides that loans outstanding under the Agreement to Provide Loan(s) to Exercise Key Employees' Stock Options will be forgiven in equal

14


parts on May 31, 2002 and 2003. Mr. Outlaw is subject to covenants relating to confidentiality and non-competition under the agreement.

Compensation and Nominating Committee Inter-locks and Insider Participation

        The Compensation and Nominating Committee consists of Dean Phillips, Joseph E. Reid, Richard B. Robinson and James A. Senty, none of whom has ever served as our officer or employee. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we purchased from and sold to affiliates of Mr. Senty natural gas liquids for total payments and receipts of approximately $8,300. Mr. Robinson is a stockholder of the law firm of Lentz, Evans and King P.C., which has represented us in legal matters related to taxation and the retirement and stock option plans. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the total amount of legal fees paid to Lentz, Evans and King P.C. was approximately $79,000. These transactions were all entered into in the ordinary course of our business on an arm's length basis.

Employment Agreements

        On October 15, 2001, we entered into a four-year employment agreement with Mr. Dea providing for a hire date of November 1, 2001. The employment agreement provided for a base salary and an incentive bonus ranging between 55% and 110% of base salary. The level of bonus is based upon attaining or exceeding operational and financial targets adopted by the board for each calendar year. If the minimum targets are not reached, Mr. Dea will not receive an incentive bonus for that calendar year. Mr. Dea's agreement also provides that he may be terminated at our written election at any time. If we terminate his agreement without cause, he is entitled to severance equal to one year's base salary plus a bonus equal to the prior calendar year's bonus. This amount increases to three times his base salary and bonus if the termination without cause occurs within one year after a change of control. In all cases, Mr. Dea is subject to covenants relating to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation of customers and employees following termination.

        We have also entered into employment agreements with each of our other executive officers. According to these agreements, we have agreed to pay each executive officer a base salary and a discretionary bonus. The employment of the executive officer continues until it is terminated in accordance with his or her employment agreement. We may terminate an executive officer for cause at any time, and the executive officer may terminate employment with us upon 90 days prior notice. If we terminate the executive officer without cause, the executive officer is entitled to severance equal to one year's base salary, which increases to two years' base salary if the termination without cause occurs within one year after a change of control. In all cases, the executive officer is subject to covenants relating to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation of customers and employees following termination.

Report of the Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our interim financials and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 with management and with the independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards Number 61. During these discussions, the Audit Committee was not informed of any significant audit adjustments, any disagreements between the auditors and management or any limitations imposed by management on the scope of the audit. The Audit Committee also discussed with management and the independent

15



auditors our significant accounting policies and the quality of accounting principles used along with the quality and adequacy of our internal controls. The Audit Committee was not informed of any inadequacies in these areas. The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors as to their independence from us. The Audit Committee has determined that there are no issues with regard to the auditors' independence. In evaluating the independence of the auditors, the Audit Committee has determined that the auditors performed no other services for us that would impair their independence and that there are no employment or investment relationships between the auditors and their family members and us.

        Based upon this review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

STOCK OPTION, RETIREMENT AND BONUS PLANS

Retirement Plan

        Our retirement plan is a defined contribution plan administered by the board. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the retirement plan. Each eligible participant may elect to reduce his or her salary and have contributed biweekly to the retirement plan, an annual amount that may not exceed the lesser of 15% of that participant's base compensation or $10,500. We match 50% of the participant's contribution on a sliding scale of 60% to 100% of the first 5% of the employee's base compensation based upon years of service. Additionally, we may make discretionary annual contributions to the accounts of each participant. Our contributions under the retirement plan become vested at the rate of 20% after the completion of two years of service with an additional 20% vesting for each additional year until fully vested. This plan will be modified in 2002 to conform to changes in the Internal Revenue Service Code.

Executive Officers' Bonus Plans

        The employment agreement of Mr. Peter A. Dea, our Chief Executive Officer and President, provides for an incentive bonus ranging between 55% and 110% of his base salary. The level of bonus is based upon attaining or exceeding operational and financial targets adopted by the board for each calendar year. If the minimum targets are not reached, Mr. Dea will not receive an incentive bonus for that calendar year. Based upon our financial performance during 2001, Mr. Dea received a pro-rata bonus of $44,000 in January 2002.

        The other executive officers' bonus plan is discretionary as determined by the board. The Compensation and Nominating Committee recommends a bonus for executive officers based upon our financial performance and data provided by the Chief Executive Officer and an independent consulting firm for peer companies in the industry and local market. The committee recommended bonuses for these executive officers ranging from 45% to 50% of their salary, or a total of $983,000. The board approved this recommendation, and these bonuses were paid in January 2002.

        In June 2001, the Compensation and Nominating Committee recommended, and the board approved, a retention bonus ranging from $80,000 to $100,000 for each of our executive officers, other than Mr. Dea. These bonuses are contingent upon the officer not voluntarily terminating employment for one year following the hiring a new Chief Executive Officer and President. Subject to continued

16



employment, these bonuses will be paid on November 1, 2002. If each of our officers receives these bonuses they will total $820,000.

Key Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

        Effective April 1987, we adopted a Key Employees' Incentive Stock Option Plan and a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that authorized the granting of options to purchase 250,000 and 20,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. Each of these plans has terminated. In 1989, we loaned two executive officers amounts sufficient to exercise these options. We will forgive the loans and accrued interest if the employee is continuously employed by us for periods specified by the board. At December 31, 2001, amounts outstanding were as follows: Lanny F. Outlaw, $418,814 related to 25,000 options and John C. Walter, $418,362 related to 25,000 options. The loans bear interest at a market rate established at the time each loan was made. Mr. Outlaw's loans will be forgiven in equal parts on May 31, 2002 and 2003. The board has not yet determined when Mr. Walter's loans will be forgiven.

1993 and 1997 Stock Option Plans

        The 1993 Stock Option Plan became effective on May 24, 1993, and the 1997 Stock Option Plan became effective on May 21, 1997, in both cases after approvals by our stockholders. Each plan is intended to be an incentive stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of options under each of these plans. As of December 31, 2001, a total of 575,441 options remained unexercised and 271,762 options had been exercised under the 1993 Plan. As of December 31, 2001, a total of 348,820 options remain unexercised and 290,078 options had been exercised under the 1997 Plan. The 1993 Plan and the 1997 Plan will terminate on the earlier of March 21, 2003 and May 21, 2007, respectively, or, assuming the grant of all available options, the date on which all options granted under each of the plans have been exercised in full. Although options covering 862,719 shares remain to be granted under the 1993 and 1997 Stock Option Plans, no further options will be granted under either plan.

        Under both plans, the board determined and designated those employees to whom options were granted. The purchase price of the stock under each option was the fair market value of the stock, based upon the average closing price of the ten trading days prior to the date of the grant. Under the 1993 Plan, options granted vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the date of grant. Under the 1997 Plan, the board had the authority to set the vesting schedule from 20% per year to 331/3% per year. Under both plans, the employee must exercise the option within five years of the date each portion vests. Under both plans, if the employee dies or becomes disabled then all the options granted to the employee become 100% exercisable.

1999 Stock Option Plan

        The 1999 Stock Option Plan became effective on May 21, 1999 after approval by our stockholders. The plan is an incentive stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We have reserved 750,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of options under the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2001, a total of 511,826 options remained unexercised and 16,840 options had been exercised under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan will terminate on the earlier of May 21, 2009 or the date on which all options granted under the 1999 Plan have been exercised in full. Under the 1999 Plan, the board determines and designates those employees to whom options are to be granted. If any option terminates or expires prior to being exercised, the shares relating to such option are released and may be re-issued under a new option. The purchase price of the stock under each option is the fair market value of the stock, based upon the average closing price of the ten trading days prior to the date of the grant. Under the 1999 Plan, the board has the authority to set the vesting schedule from 20% to 331/3% per year. The employee's right

17



to exercise options under the 1999 Plan is subject to continuous employment since the grant was made. If the employee dies or becomes disabled then all the options granted to the employee become 100% exercisable.

1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan

        In 1999, the board adopted the 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan. The plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock. During 1999, the board approved grants totaling 15,000 options to various board members. Under the plan, each of these options becomes exercisable as to 331/3% of the shares covered by it on each anniversary from the date of grant. This plan terminates on the earlier of March 12, 2009 or the date on which all options granted have been exercised in full.

Chief Executive Officer and President Stock Option Plan

        On October 15, 2001, pursuant to an employment agreement between ourselves and Peter A. Dea, we created a non-qualified stock option plan for Mr. Dea under which options were granted for the purchase of 300,000 shares of our common stock. The exercise price of the options was equal to $5.00 below the closing price per share on the effective date of the employment agreement. The stock options vest equally over four years beginning in 2002. The options, if not exercised, will expire on the fifth anniversary of their vesting date. This plan did not require stockholder approval. The difference between the closing price on the effective date and the exercise price is being amortized over four years as compensation expense.

2002 Stock Incentive Plan

        In February 2002, the Board of Directors approved the proposal of the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, for a vote by our stockholders. The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2002 Plan which is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the 2002 Plan, attached hereto as Appendix A. The 2002 Plan is intended to be an incentive plan in accordance with the provision of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 2002 Plan provides for the grant of options to acquire shares of our common stock. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted under the 2002 Plan is 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The 2002 Plan also provides that stock options may be granted to all employees including as an incentive upon the hiring of an employee. Under the 2002 Plan, the board of directors determines and designates from time to time those employees to whom options are granted. No stock option grants under the 2002 Plan have been made. If any option terminates or expires prior to being exercised, the shares relating to the option are released and may be subject to re-issuance under a new option. The board has the right to, among other things, fix the price, terms and conditions for the grant or exercise of any option, including vesting schedules based on elapsed time or our performance. In granting the options to acquire common stock, the board will consider among other things, our financial performance and the performance of the individual. No employee may be granted more than 125,000 options to acquire common stock in any fiscal year. The purchase price of the stock under each option shall be the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted and no options shall be repriced. For purposes of the 2002 Plan, fair market value shall mean the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions average closing price for the stock reflected in The Wall Street Journal or another publication selected by the board for the ten trading days preceding the day the Option is granted to each employee. The 2002 Plan requires the employee to exercise the option at the earlier of ten years from the date of the 2002 Plan or within five years of the date each portion vests. The employee's right to exercise options under the 2002 Plan is subject to continuous employment since the grant was made. If the employee dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of the 2002 Plan) or a change of control occurs, then all of the options granted to the employee shall become 100% exercisable. Although

18



options covering 862,719 shares remain to be granted under the 1993 and 1997 Stock Option Plans, no further options will be granted under either plan. The federal income tax consequences of participation in the 2002 Plan is described below.

        In general, no taxable income is realized by an employee upon the grant of an incentive stock option, an ISO, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. If shares of Common Stock are issued to an employee pursuant to the exercise of an ISO granted under the 2002 Plan and the employee does not dispose of the shares within the two-year period after the date of grant or within one year after the receipt of those shares then, (i) the employee will not realize ordinary income upon exercise and (ii) upon sale of those shares, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price paid for the shares will be taxed to the employee as a capital gain. If the shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO are sold at any time earlier, the gain would be usually be taxed as ordinary income. If an ISO is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies as an ISO, such option will be treated as a non-qualified option.

2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

        In April 2002, the Board of Directors approved the proposal of the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, for a vote by our stockholders. We have reserved 110,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2002 Director Plan. The 2002 Director Plan provides for a three year vesting schedule while the non-employee director serves on our board. Under the 2002 Director Plan, after May 2002, a newly elected non-employee director will be granted 5,000 options to acquire common stock as of the date of election. The 2002 Director Plan also provides for an annual grant to each non-employee director of 2,000 options to acquire common stock on the date of our annual meeting. The purchase price of the stock under each option shall be the fair market value of the stock at the time such option is granted and no options shall be repriced. For purposes of the 2002 Director Plan, fair market value shall mean the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions average closing price for the stock reflected in The Wall Street Journal or another publication selected by the board for the ten trading days preceding the day the Option is granted to each non-employee director. The 2002 Director Plan requires the non-employee director to exercise the option at the earlier of ten years from the date of the 2002 Director Plan or within five years of the date each portion vests. The non-employee director's right to exercise options under the 2002 Director Plan is subject to continuous service since the grant was made. If the non-employee director dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of the 2002 Director Plan) or a change of control occurs, then all of the options granted to the non-employee director shall become 100% exercisable.

        Options under the 2002 Director Plan will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as non-qualified options, i.e., options which do not qualify as incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. In general, no taxable income is realized by a director upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option. Upon exercise, the directors generally would include in ordinary income at the time of exercise an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price paid for the shares.

        In the event of a subsequent sale or other disposition of shares received upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, any appreciation or depreciation after the date on which taxable income is realized by the director in respect of the option exercise should be taxed as capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of the sales proceeds for the shares over the director's basis in the shares.

              (ii)  Except as expressly provided in Paragraphs 7(b)(v) and 7(b)(vi) below, a Participant shall become entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof as determined by the Board and as set forth in each Participant's Award Agreement. The vesting schedule determined by the Board may be based on the period of time during which the Participant remains employed following the date of grant or on performance measures determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

              The Participant's right to purchase the Common Stock subject to the Option, shall be cumulative, so that as of the end of the vesting period specified in his Award Agreement, or as of the date on which the designated performance measures are achieved, as the case may be, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise one hundred percent (100%) of the Option and to purchase all of the Common Stock covered by the Option, subject to all of the provisions of this Plan.

A-3



              (iii)  Except as provided in Paragraphs 7(b)(iv) and (v), a Participant may exercise an Option only if, at the time such Option is exercised, such Participant is an employee of and has continuously since the grant of the Option been an employee of the Corporation.

              (iv)  If a Participant's employment with the Corporation is terminated for any reason other than (i) his or her death or disability or (ii) his or her discharge for dishonesty or commission of a crime, the Participant may, within sixty (60) days thereafter and subject to the provisions of Sections 7(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), exercise the Option or portion thereof to the extent it was exercisable as of the date of termination of his or her employment. All unexercised Options, or portions thereof, shall terminate, be forfeited, and shall lapse upon expiration of said sixty (60) day period, or immediately if the Participant's employment is terminated for any of the reasons set forth in clause (ii) above.

              (v)  If a Participant dies or becomes Disabled while employed by the Corporation, all of the Options granted to such Participant shall become one hundred percent (100%) exercisable, without regard to the provisions of Paragraph 7(b)(ii), above. In such event, the Options may be exercised by the Disabled Participant, or the person or persons to whom the deceased Participant's rights under the Option shall pass by will, or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that no such Option may be exercised after one hundred eighty days (180) days from such Participant's date of death, or termination of employment as a result of Disability, whichever is applicable. Upon expiration of said period, all unexercised Options, or portions thereof, shall terminate, be forfeited, and shall lapse.

              (vi)  As of the date of a Change in Control of the Corporation, all of the Options granted under the Plan which have not otherwise been terminated or forfeited shall become one hundred percent (100%) exercisable, without regard to the provisions of Paragraph 7(b)(ii), above.

            (c)  Method of Exercise.

              (i)    To exercise an Option, the Participant, or his or her successors, shall give written notice to the Corporation's Treasurer at the Corporation's principal office accompanied by full payment of the Common Stock being purchased and a written statement that the shares are purchased for investment and not with a view to distribution. However, this statement shall not be required in the event the Common Stock subject to the Option is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Option is exercised by the successor of the Participant, following his or her death, proof shall be submitted, satisfactory to the Board, of the right of the successor to exercise the Option.

              (ii)  Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan which has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall bear the following legend:

        "The securities represented by this Stock Certificate have not been registered under the Securities act of 1933 (the "Act") or applicable state securities laws (the "State Acts"), and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, donated or otherwise transferred (whether or not for consideration) by the holder, except upon the issuance to the Corporation of a favorable opinion of its counsel and submission to the Corporation of such other evidence as may be satisfactory to the Corporation to the effect that any such transfer shall not be in violation of the Act and the State Acts."

              (iii)  The Corporation shall not be required to transfer and deliver any stock certificate or certificates for shares purchased upon exercise of said Options until after compliance with all

A-4


      then applicable requirements of law. In no event shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional shares to the Participant.

              (iv)  If the Corporation shall be advised by counsel that shares of stock deliverable upon exercise of an Option are required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or that the consent of any other authority is required for the issuance of same, the Corporation may effect registration or obtain consent, and delivery of shares by the Corporation may be deferred until registration is effected or consent obtained.

              (v)  Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the surrender (or delivery) to the Corporation of previously acquired shares of Corporation common stock. This method of exercise is to include the constructive exchange (or surrendering) of Corporation stock already owned ("Payment Shares") in payment for the shares to be received under the Option exercise in lieu of actually tendering such Corporation stock to the Corporation. If the Payment Shares are held by a registered securities broker for the Participant in "street name," the Participant will provide the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned that are intended to serve as Payment Shares. If the Corporation stock certificates are actually held by the Participant, he shall provide the Corporation with their certificate numbers. Upon receipt of a notarized statement regarding ownership of the Payment Shares, or upon confirmation of ownership of the Payment Shares by reference to Corporation records, the Corporation shall treat the Payment Shares as being constructively exchanged. The Corporation shall then issue to the employee a certificate for a net number of shares: the number of shares subject to the Option exercise less the number of Payment Shares. The exchange price for the Payment Shares under the respective Option exercise will be the Fair Market Value of the Corporation Common Stock as determined in Paragraph 2(i) above as of the effective date of the exchange.

8.
Rights To Terminate Employment. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or affect any right which the Corporation may have to terminate the employment of such Participant.

9.
Amendments and Termination. The Board may amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that unless first approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, no amendment shall be made to the Plan that would (a) permit a decrease in the Option price of any outstanding Option, (b) increase the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, or (c) expand or alter the provisions relating to the class of persons eligible to receive Options granted under the Plan. No modification to the Plan shall, without the consent of an Participant, adversely affect such Participant's rights under an Option previously granted to him.

10.
Rights As Stockholders. No stock shall be issued until full payment for such stock has been made. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to optioned shares until the date of the issuance of the stock certificate to him or her for such shares. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other properties) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

11.
Adjustments of and Change In Stock. No adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock for which Options are granted by the Plan or the exercise price thereof as a result of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Options, as well as the exercise price, shall be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, the payment of a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. In addition, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, a merger of the Corporation, or sale of all or

A-5


    substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation shall take such action as may be necessary to enable the Participant to receive, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, securities or other assets that were issued or payable upon such event in receipt of or in exchange for such shares of Common Stock.

12.
Award Agreement. The granting of an Option under this Plan occurs only by a written Award Agreement, effective on the date set forth therein, substantially in the form attached hereto and marked Exhibit 1, executed by and on behalf of the Corporation and the employee to whom the Option is granted, and such executed Award Agreement is delivered to the Corporation.

13.
Nonassignability. No Option granted under this Plan shall be assignable or transferable in any manner voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of such recipient, an Option shall be exercisable only by such person or by such person's guardian or legal representative.

14.
Period of Plan. No Options shall be granted on or after May 17, 2012. The Plan shall terminate on the later of (1) May 17, 2012; (2) the date on which all Options granted under the Plan have expired; or (3) the date on which all Options granted under the Plan have been exercised in full.

        Dated this 17th day of May 2002.
