EXHIBIT A

Modification To Existing Severance Policy For Executives

The Company’s existing Severance Policy would be revised as set forth on Annex 1 to, among other things, incorporate the definitions set forth below and will continue to apply except as follows:

If a Change in Control or Standstill Termination Date occurs and, prior to the one year anniversary of such Change in Control or Standstill Termination Date, the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company other than for Cause, Executive terminates his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason, or Executive dies then:

1. Severance Payment: The Company shall pay to Executive or Executive’s legal representatives as appropriate in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the effective date of termination of Executive’s employment (the “Effective Date”), an amount equal to the product of (a) Executive’s then monthly Base Salary and (b) 36 minus the number of full months from the date the Change in Control occurred or the Standstill Termination Date, as applicable, to the Effective Date. By way of example, if the Effective Date occurs prior to the end of the first full calendar month following the Standstill Termination Date, the Severance Payment will equal three times the Executive’s annual Base Salary. If the Effective Date occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Standstill Termination Date, the Severance Payment will equal two times the Executive’s annual Base Salary. Together with this Severance Payment, the Company shall pay in cash the sum of (i) Executive’s Base Salary through the Effective Date to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) any bonus payable (including any bonus or portion thereof that has been earned but deferred), prorated through the Effective Date to the extent not theretofore paid, and (iii) any accrued vacation pay and other compensation and benefits (including expatriate benefits, housing allowances, expense reimbursements etc.) payable to the Executive to the extent theretofore earned but not paid.

2. Equity-Based Awards: Any Pre-Existing Awards held by Executive on the date of the Change in Control or Standstill Termination Date will vest in full, and any restrictions on restricted stock awards then held that are Pre-Existing Awards will terminate, on the Effective Date. Any such Pre-Existing Awards as to which Executive may exercise rights will remain fully exercisable until the third anniversary of the Effective

Date, but not beyond the term of such award specified at the time of grant or in the applicable award agreement.

Any Subsequent Awards held by Executive on the Standstill Termination Date will, if granted more than 12 months prior to the Effective Date, vest (or, in the case of restricted stock, the restrictions will terminate) on the Effective Date with respect to that portion of the award that would have vested (or with respect to which the restrictions would have terminated) prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date and any rights to exercise such vested portion of the award will continue until the first anniversary of the Effective Date (but not beyond the term of such award). The vesting, termination of restrictions and exercisability of any Subsequent Award held by Executive on the Standstill Termination Date that is not covered by the foregoing will be governed by the applicable stock option or stock incentive plan pursuant to which the award was granted.

Any Subsequent Award held by Executive on the date of the Change in Control will vest in full, and any restrictions on restricted stock awards then held that are Subsequent Awards will terminate, on the Effective Date. Any such Subsequent Awards as to which Executive may exercise rights will remain fully exercisable until the third anniversary of the Effective Date, but not beyond the term of such award.

3. Conditions: The availability of the Severance Payment and other benefits described above shall be subject to:

(a) the execution by Executive or Executive’s legal representatives, as appropriate, of the Company’s standard form of release in the form attached as Annex 2 or Annex 3, as applicable (the “Release”) providing for the release of any and all claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than indemnification rights, and

(b) the execution by Executive (in the event of termination other than by reason of death) of the Company’s standard form of non-competition/non-solicitation agreement (the “Non-competition Agreement”), the term of which will be for 24 months following the Effective Date. See Annex 4.

The foregoing benefits will be in lieu of any severance or other benefits contemplated by the Company’s existing policies, including the 2003 Incentive Plan and any other applicable stock option or incentive plan, to be made available to any Executive following the occurrence of a Change in Control or Standstill Termination Date, except that (i) in the event of a Change in Control not approved by the Board of Directors, the applicable terms of the stock option or incentive plan pursuant to which the applicable award was granted will govern the vesting, termination of restrictions and exercisability of such equity-based award if such terms are more favorable to Executive and (ii) the vesting of and termination of restrictions with respect to Pre-Existing Awards following

the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Date will be governed by the applicable terms of the stock option or stock incentive plan pursuant to which the award was granted.

Certain Definitions:

Base Salary: As of any date, the base salary then payable to an employee for the relevant period (i.e., per week, per month or per annum). Base Salary shall be exclusive of any elements of compensation not customarily considered a part of base salary, including without limitation, housing allowances, tax adjustments, expatriate benefits, etc.

Benefits. An amount attributable to welfare benefits determined to be 15% of an employee’s Base Salary for the relevant period.

Cause: The termination by the Company of an Executive’s employment for any of the following reasons will constitute termination for Cause: (a) Executive has committed an act of gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties, as determined by the Board of Directors; (b) Executive demonstrates habitual negligence in the performance of his or her duties, as determined by the Board of Directors; (c) Executive is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to any felony; (d) Executive is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude and the conduct underlying such misdemeanor has an adverse or detrimental effect on the Company or a Company subsidiary, its reputation or its business, as determined by the Board of Directors; or (e) Executive has committed any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement or other illegal conduct in connection with his or her employment. Any determination required to be made by the Board of Directors shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board present and voting at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. The Executive will be given reasonable notice of the time, place and purpose of the meeting and the opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard.

In the case of an employee, other than an Executive, Cause will also include any of the reasons included within the definition of “cause” in Section 7.2(d)(i) of the 2003 Incentive Plan and any determination required by clauses (a), (b) and (d) above or otherwise may be made by either the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer.

Good Reason: The termination by an Executive of his or her employment with the Company pursuant to the following clauses (a), (b) or (c) will constitute termination for “Good Reason”: (a) because of a reduction in Executive’s then current Base Salary or (b) because of the assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent in any material respect with Executive’s official position with the Company or the material diminution of Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose any isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive or (c) the Company’s requiring that Executive relocate Executive’s principal business office from the metropolitan area of its location as of this date* or (d) for any reason whatsoever, provided that notice of termination pursuant to this clause (d) is given prior to the 30^th day preceding the first anniversary of the occurrence of a Change in Control or the Standstill Termination Date.

Termination for Good Reason will not be effective until the 30th day after notice from Executive to the Company of intention to terminate for Good Reason, setting forth the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such termination. Such notice, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, shall be given within 30 days of the occurrence of the applicable event and, in the case of clause (b), shall be subject to the Company’s cure right. Termination for Good Reason will not be available for employees other than Executives.

Pre-Existing Awards: Stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards granted by the Company on or prior to June 30, 2003.

(UGC)

The Company’s Non-competition Agreement will contain the following substantive provisions:

Executive agrees that for two years after the date of termination of employment (“Date of Termination”), Executive will not, without the consent of the Company, (i) Participate In (as defined below) any entity or organization in the business of providing broadband communications services (which term shall include, without limitation, any one or more of video programming and/or distribution, interactive television, telephone and Internet access services) in competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the respective geographic areas (the “Territory”) where the Company or its subsidiaries conducted such businesses at the Date of Termination (“Restricted Business”) or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit or interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or its subsidiaries any of their respective suppliers, customers or employees. The employment by Executive or a business that Executive Participates In of a person employed or formerly employed by the Company shall not be prohibited by the foregoing provision if such person sought out employment on his own initiative without initial encouragement, direct or indirect, by Executive.

The term “Participate In” shall mean: “directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for, with or through any other person, entity or corporation, own, manage, operate, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as a director, officer, employee, partner, member, consultant, advisor, agent, independent contractor, creditor, guarantor, financial backer, stockholder, investor or otherwise with, or acquiesce in the use of his name in.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to Participate In a Restricted Business merely because Executive (a) owns not more than 10% of the outstanding equity of an entity, or (b) is employed by or acts as a consultant, advisor or independent contractor to a business unit of an entity or organization that is not related, directly or indirectly, to the Restricted Business of such entity or organization.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic area and scope limitations of the Executive’s obligations in the first paragraph above are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the good will or other business interests of the Company. Executive further acknowledges that he or she will not be precluded from gainful employment if obligated not to compete with the Company during the period specified above and within the Territory.

The covenants contained in the agreement shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each geographic area in the Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant

[Under 40]

set forth in the first paragraph hereof. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from the agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. If any restriction contained in the first paragraph above shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision hereof, then the extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision hereof as applicable shall be deemed to be reduced so that, in its reduced form such restriction shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated hereby.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. In addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have at equity or in law with respect to any breach of those provisions, if Executive threatens to commit or commits a material breach of any of such provisions, the Company may have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction.

Executive agrees at all times during which he or she is employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the exclusive benefit of the Company or its subsidiaries, or to disclose to any person or entity without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company and Executive agree and acknowledge that these provisions regarding Confidential Information are not contingent on Executive’s continued employment with the Company. “Confidential Information” means any Company or Company subsidiary proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed to Executive by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company either directly or indirectly in writing or orally. Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Executive or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to such matter.

Terms of Employment.

Duties.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ further agrees to devote reasonable attention, time and energies during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company to the extent necessary to discharge ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ responsibilities as Chairman of the Board and to fulfill such other duties as the Board may assign to him from time to time. Subject to his obligations hereunder and Company policy, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees and (B) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not interfere in any material respect with the performance of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, from time to time, relinquish such of his duties and positions referred to or assigned to him pursuant to this Section 2(a) as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall determine. Thereafter, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ duties hereunder shall be accordingly reduced, provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ remains reasonably available to consult with and advise officers of the Company as requested by such

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to amend or terminate any welfare benefit plans it currently maintains or may choose to establish.

Expenses, Fringe Benefits, Office and Support Staff.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ prior to the Date of Termination in the course of the performance of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ duties hereunder, upon the submission of appropriate documentation in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company in effect at the time ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ incurs such expense.

Termination, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be permitted additional use of Company airplanes or a private airplane service provided by the Company or one of its subsidiaries (in the manner described below), provided that such additional use does not exceed the aggregate value of $50,000 in any calendar year (which shall be computed at the SEC Rate). Any such additional use shall be charged to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and paid by him at the SEC Rate. If the Company no longer owns a plane, the Company or one of its subsidiaries shall purchase or arrange to be purchased access to a private airplane service from a third party (such as a NetJet share) in order to permit such additional use by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ subject to the terms provided above.

Termination of Employment.

Death. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment shall terminate upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ death.

Disability. If the Company determines in good faith that a Disability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ written notice in accordance with Section 12(c) of this Agreement of termination of this Agreement. In such event, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after the receipt of such notice by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Disability Effective Date”). “Disability” shall mean disability as defined under the Company’s long term disability plan, or, in the absence of such a long term disability plan, it shall mean the absence of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from his duties with the Company for 90 consecutive days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness that is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or his legal representative.

Early Termination for Any Reason. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment shall terminate automatically on the 30th day after the Company receives a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 3(e)) from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (an “Early Termination”).

For Cause. The termination by the Company of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment for any of the following reasons shall constitute termination for Cause: (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has committed an act of gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, as determined by the Board; (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to any felony; (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude and the conduct underlying such misdemeanor has an adverse or detrimental effect on the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, its reputation or its business, as determined by the Board; or (iv) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has committed any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement or other illegal conduct in connection with his employment. Any determination required to be made by the Board shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board present and voting at a meeting duly called and held for such purpose. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be given reasonable notice of the time, place and purpose of the meeting and the opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard.

Notice of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement by the Company or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice that (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specifies the Date of Termination (as defined below). The failure by the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Disability or Cause shall not waive any right of the Company hereunder or preclude the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s rights hereunder.

Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment is terminated (i) by death, the date of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ death, (ii) by the Company due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Disability, the Disability Effective Date, (iii) by the Company for Cause, the date of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (iv) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ by Early Termination, 30 days after the date on which the Company receives the Notice of Termination, and (v) at the end of the Employment Period, such end.

If the Company or any of its subsidiaries hereafter maintains in force directors’ and officers’ insurance for other executives of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, it shall also require that the insurance cover acts and failures to act of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ while ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ served as an officer and director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the same extent, but only if such insurance coverage can be provided without additional cost to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree and acknowledge that these provisions regarding Confidential Information are not contingent on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ continued employment with the Company. “Confidential Information” means any Company or Company subsidiary proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company either directly or indirectly in writing or orally. Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to such matter.

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that until the expiration of the Employment Period, regardless of whether the Date of Termination occurs prior thereto, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, without the consent of the Company, (x) Participate In (as defined below) any entity or organization in the business of providing broadband communications services (which term shall include, without limitation, any one or more of video programming and/or distribution, interactive television, telephone and Internet access services) in competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the respective geographic areas (“Territory”) where the Company or a subsidiary of the Company conducted such businesses at the Date of Termination (“Restricted Business”), or (y) directly or indirectly solicit or interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company any of their respective suppliers, customers or employees. The employment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or a business that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Participates In of a person employed or formerly employed by the Company shall not be prohibited by the foregoing provision if such person sought out employment on his own initiative without initial encouragement, direct or indirect, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

The term “Participate In” shall mean to, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for, with or through any other person, entity or corporation, own, manage, operate, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as a director, officer, employee, partner, member, consultant, advisor, agent, independent contractor, creditor, guarantor, financial backer, stockholder, investor or otherwise with, or acquiesce in the use of his name in.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic area and scope limitations of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligations under this Section 7 are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the good will or other business interests of the Company. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ further acknowledges that he will not be precluded from gainful employment if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is obligated not to compete with the Company during the period specified above and within the Territory.

The covenants contained in subsection (a) above shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each geographic area in the Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in subsection (a) above. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. If any restriction contained in subsection (a) above shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision hereof, then the extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision hereof as applicable shall be deemed to be reduced so that, in its reduced form such restriction shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated hereby.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 7 or Section 6 would cause irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. In addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have at equity or in law with respect to any breach of those provisions, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ threatens to commit or commits a material breach of any of such provisions, the Company may have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction.

No Mitigation Required. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate the amounts payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ obtains other employment.

Successors.

This Agreement is personal to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution (it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other person or entity any right, benefits or remedies of any kind or character whatsoever). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ legal representatives.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

The Company shall 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 and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore

defined and any such successor that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

Miscellaneous.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
