Exhibit 10.31

THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 26, 2006, between VI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx (“Executive”).

The Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Executive will commit to purchase, and the Company will commit to sell, an aggregate of 10,948 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $4.53 per share (the “Common Stock”). All of such shares of Common Stock are referred to herein as “Executive Shares” or the “Shares.” Certain definitions are set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Executive Shares.

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive will purchase, and the Company will sell, 10,948 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.53 per share, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date hereof. The Company will deliver to Executive the certificates representing such Executive Shares, and Executive will deliver to the Company a cashier’s or certified check or wire transfer of funds in the aggregate amount of $49,594.44.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after the purchase by Executive of Executive Shares pursuant to this Agreement, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

(c) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive Shares pursuant hereto, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that:

(i) The Executive Shares to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Shares will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws;

(ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Shares;

(iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Shares have not

been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available;

(iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Executive Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as he has requested;

(v) This Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby to which Executive is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Executive, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other agreements by Executive does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject;

(vi) Executive is not a party to or bound by any other employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement which conflicts with the obligations set forth in this Agreement or in the Employment Agreement; and

(vii) Executive is a resident of the State of Colorado.

(d) As an inducement for the Company to commit to issue the Executive Shares to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither any future issuance of capital stock of the Company to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company, or affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason, subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement.

2. Vesting of Shares.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) below, the Executive Shares purchased hereunder will become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if as of each such date Executive is still employed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company:

Date	Cumulative Percentage of Executive Shares to be Vested
1st Anniversary of this Agreement	20	%
2nd Anniversary of this Agreement	40	%
3rd Anniversary of this Agreement	60	%
4th Anniversary of this Agreement	80	%
5th Anniversary of this Agreement	100	%

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Executive Shares which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of such Sale of the Company (such portion being referred to

herein as the “Accelerated Shares”); provided, however, and subject to and unless otherwise provided for under the Stockholders Agreement by and among the Company, the Investors, the Executive and certain other parties, that Executive shall not Transfer any interest in any Accelerated Shares unless and until such time as the Investors shall have received cash dividends or other cash proceeds resulting from any distributions on or dispositions of any Preferred Stock or Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (i) two (2), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors to the Company for all Preferred Stock, Common Stock and other equity interests of the Company purchased by the Investors (but not in any event including amounts committed but not yet contributed to the capital of the Company). Executive Shares which have become vested hereunder are referred to herein as “Vested Shares,” and all other Executive Shares are referred to herein as “Unvested Shares.”

(c) The Executive Securities shall at all times be subject to such restrictions or limitations with respect to the Transfer thereof that may be contained herein or in the Stockholders Agreement or as otherwise provided by law.

3. Repurchase Option.

(a) In the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason (a “Separation”),the Shares and all other Executive Securities (whether held by Executive or one or more of Executive’s transferees, other than the Company and the Investors) will be subject to repurchase, in each case by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 (the “Repurchase Option”).

(b) In the event of a Separation, the Executive Shares purchased hereunder shall be subject to repurchase as follows: (i) the purchase price for each Unvested Share of Common Stock will be the Executive’s Original Cost for such share; provided, that if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary with Due Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then the purchase price for each Unvested Share of Common Stock will be the lesser of (a) Executive’s Original Cost for such share and (b) the Fair Market Value for such share, and (ii) the purchase price for each Vested Share of Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value for such share; provided that if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary with Due Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then the purchase price for each Vested Share of Common Stock will be the lesser of (a) Executive’s Original Cost for such share and (b) the Fair Market Value for such share.

(c) In the event of a Separation, any other Executive Securities not otherwise described in Section 3(b) above shall be subject to repurchase as follows: the purchase price for each share of Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value for such share.

(d) In the event of a Separation, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Executive Securities by delivering written notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) to the holder or holders of the Executive Securities within 60 days after the Separation. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such securities and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive

is less than the total number of such securities which the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining securities elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Executive Securities under this Agreement, pro rata according to the number of Executive Securities held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). The number of Unvested Shares and Vested Shares to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the other holders of Executive Securities (if any) pro rata according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person.

(e) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 2 months nor less than 5 days after the delivery of such notice. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price to the extent reasonably permissible under the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ equity financing agreements and agreements evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money and to the extent the Company has the financial wherewithal at the time to make such payments, by a check or wire transfer of funds and, if not, by a subordinate note or notes, each on terms acceptable to banks and other financial institutions loaning money to the Company and its Subsidiaries, payable in up to three substantially equal, semi-annual installments beginning on the six month anniversary of the closing of such purchase and bearing interest (payable quarterly) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such securities. The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers of Executive Securities (including representations and warranties regarding good title to the Executive Securities, the absence of any liens on such title or other encumbrances with respect to the Transfer of the Executive Securities and the ability of such sellers to consummate the sale).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Securities by the Company shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law and as may be required by other parties in the Company’s or any Subsidiaries’ equity financing agreements and agreements evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money, if any. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Securities hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, the Company may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Executive delivers the notice of objection described in the definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair Market Value of a Share is otherwise determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for such Shares originally determined by the Board, the Company shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Shares elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of the Shares during (i) the thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company receives Executive’s written notice of objection and (ii) the thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company is given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a Share

was finally determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for such Shares originally determined by the Board.

4. Restrictions on Transfer of Executive Securities.

(a) Transfer of Executive Securities. Executive shall not Transfer any interest in any Executive Securities, except at such time as the restrictions herein terminate as provided in Section 4(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to (i) Transfers of shares of Executive Securities pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (ii) Transfer of shares of Executive Securities among Executive’s Family Group; provided that in each case such restrictions will continue to be applicable to the Executive Securities irrespective of any such Transfer. Any transferee of Executive Securities pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) is herein referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” In addition to and without limitation on the operation of this Section 4, Executive acknowledges that the Stockholders Agreement separately imposes restrictions on the Transfer of the Shares.

(b) Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions on the Transfer of Executive Securities set forth in this Section 4 will continue with respect to each Executive Security until the earlier of (i) a Qualified Public Offering; or (ii) a Sale of the Company.

5. Registration. Executive understands that the Shares are not currently being registered under the Securities Act by reason of their contemplated issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 thereof. Executive further agrees that he will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and has been registered or qualified or is exempt from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws of any state. Executive understands that a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing, and as set forth in Section 6, will be placed on the certificates evidencing the Shares, and related stop transfer instructions will be noted in the stock transfer records of the Company and/or its stock transfer agent for the Shares.

6. Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Executive Securities.

(a) Legend. The certificates representing the Executive Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS OF MAY , 2006, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND AN EXECUTIVE OF THE COMPANY DATED AS OF MAY ,

2006. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.”

(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Executive Securities may transfer any Executive Securities (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.
