Participant is terminated due to death, Disability, or Retirement during the
Performance Period, all outstanding Performance Units subject to this Award not
yet vested shall immediately vest and become payable, subject to applicable
federal and state securities laws. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean the date upon which the Participant becomes entitled to
receive benefits pursuant to the Company’s long-term disability plan then in
effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean: (i) any
termination of the Participant’s employment other than for Cause after the

Retirement, all unvested Performance Units at the date of termination shall
immediately terminate, and shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company.
The transfer of employment of the Participant between the Company and any
Subsidiary (or between Subsidiaries) shall not be deemed a termination of
employment for the purposes of this Agreement.

Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company during the
Performance Period results in the Participant’s termination of employment by the
Company for any reason other than for Cause within two years following the

Company’s Clawback Policy as amended from time to time. To the extent the
Participant is subject to the Policy, the terms and conditions of the Policy are

7.    Procedure for Administration of Award.
(a)
Value of Performance Units. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value
that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall
set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which
they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Units that
will be paid out to the Participant.

(b)
Earning of Performance Units. Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the
applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units shall
be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of Performance Units
earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a
function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been
achieved, as set forth in further detail on Schedule 1, attached hereto.

(c)
Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units. Payment of earned Performance
Units shall be as determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units in the
form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of
the earned Performance Units at the close of the applicable Performance Period.

8.    Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to
whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death
before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form
prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Vice President Human Resources of the Company
during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation,
benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the
Participant’s estate.
9.    Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the
Participant any right to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall
this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate the
Participant’s employment at any time. A transfer of the Participant’s employment
between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries)
shall not be deemed a termination of employment.
10.    Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct
or withhold, or require the Participant or beneficiary to remit to the Company,
an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the
Participant’s FICA obligation), domestic or foreign, required by law or
regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result
of this Agreement. The Participant may elect, subject to any procedural rules
adopted by the Committee, to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding tax
requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having
an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined, equal to
such minimum statutory withholding tax.

the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to
time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for

authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or
appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which
shall be binding upon the Participant.

no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in any material
way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, without the
written consent of the Participant.

provisions of federal and state securities laws in exercising his or her rights

exchanges as may be required.

existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company.

(f)
To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Idaho.
