MISCELLANEOUS
Section i.Parachute Payments. To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under the MIP or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and a Participant (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this paragraph would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (determined in accordance with the reduction of payments and benefits in the paragraph set forth below); whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the Participant’s receipt on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of the Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Except to the extent, if any, otherwise agreed in writing between a Participant and the Company, any determination required under this provision will be made by accountants selected by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participant and the Company for all purposes.
Section ii.No Right to Employment. Nothing in this document is to be construed as a contract of employment of a defined period of time or otherwise altering the status of employee as an at-will employee of the Company. Either party may elect to terminate the employment relationship at any time, without cause or advance notice.
a.Amendment; Termination. The Committee reserves the right to interpret, modify, suspend or terminate this MIP at any time as determined in its sole discretion.
b.Unfunded Plan. No amounts awarded or accrued under this MIP will be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder will at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of Heska. Participants shall have the status of general creditors and shall look solely to the general assets of Heska for the payment of their bonus awards.

c.No Assignment. No Participant will have the right to alienate, assign, encumber, hypothecate or pledge his or her interest in any award under the MIP, voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to so dispose of any such interest will be void. During the lifetime of any Participant, payment of a bonus award under the MIP will only be made to such Participant. 
d.Governing Law.  This MIP shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this MIP to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
