**1. Award**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.In consideration of Grantee's past and/or continued employment with the Company (or any Subsidiary) and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, effective as of the Grant Date, the Company grants to Grantee the Total Number of RSUs set forth above. To the extent vested, each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (a "**Share**"), subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. Unless and until the RSUs become vested as set forth in this Agreement, Grantee will have no right to receive any Shares or other payments in respect of the RSUs. Prior to the settlement of each RSU, each RSU represents an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.This Agreement will be construed in accordance and consistent with, and subject to, the provisions of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.This Agreement is conditioned on Grantee's execution, and delivery to the Company, of this Agreement within 60 days following the Grant Date, including through an online or electronic acceptance method approved by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Grantee fails to execute and deliver this Agreement to the Company within 60 days following the Grant Date, then this Agreement will terminate

------

automatically without any further action by the Company, and this Agreement will be null and void.

**2. Vesting of RSUs**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.<u>General</u>. Provided that Grantee remains continuously employed by the Company (or any Subsidiary) through the applicable Vesting Date, Grantee will vest in the number of RSUs listed opposite the applicable Vesting Date in the Vesting Schedule. As further set forth in Section 3 below, any vested RSUs will be settled in Shares within 30 days following the applicable Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.<u>Vesting Acceleration Upon Termination Due to Death, Disability or Termination without Cause or for Good Reason</u>. Notwithstanding Section 2(a) above, if prior to the final Vesting Date under the Vesting Schedule, (i) Grantee dies while actively employed by the Company (or any Subsidiary) (ii) Grantee's employment terminates by reason of Grantee's Disability, or (iii) Grantee's employment is terminated by the Company (or any Subsidiary) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, any unvested RSUs will become fully vested and non-forfeitable on Grantee's termination date and settled within 30 days following such date in accordance with Section 3. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "**Good Reason**" shall mean that Grantee has complied with the Good Reason Process following the occurrence of any of the following events or actions: (A) any material reduction in Grantee's base salary, unless a similar reduction is made in the base salary of all similarly situated executives, (B) any material reduction in Grantee's authority, duties or responsibilities, (C) any material change in the geographic location at which Grantee must perform Grantee's duties, or (D) any material breach of any written agreement with the Company by the Company; and (ii) "**Good Reason Process**" shall mean that (A) Grantee reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason condition has occurred, (B) Grantee notifies the Company in writing of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition, (C) Grantee cooperates in good faith with the Company's efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the "**Cure Period**") to remedy the condition, (D) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist, and (E) Grantee terminates employment within sixty (60) days after the end of the Cure Period; provided, however, if the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.<u>Termination of Service for Any Other Reason</u>. Except as provided in Section 2(b) above, or except as otherwise provided in a duly approved severance agreement with Grantee, if Grantee terminates Grantee's employment prior to a Vesting Date or if the Company (or any Subsidiary) terminates Grantee's employment prior to a Vesting Date, Grantee expressly acknowledges that all unvested RSUs will be immediately forfeited, terminated and cancelled effective as of the last day of Grantee's employment with the Company (or any Subsidiary), without the payment of any consideration by the Company, and Grantee, or Grantee's legal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights with respect to such forfeited RSUs under this Agreement. In addition, if the Company (or any Subsidiary) terminates Grantee's employment for Cause following a Vesting Date and prior to the delivery of Shares as set forth in Section 3 below, the RSUs, whether or not vested, will be immediately forfeited, terminated and cancelled effective as of the last day of Grantee's employment with the Company (or any Subsidiary), without the payment of any consideration by the Company, and Grantee, or Grantee's legal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights with respect to such forfeited RSUs under this Agreement.

**3. Issuance of Shares upon Vesting**

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2, as soon as practical (and no later than 30 days) after each Vesting Date under the Vesting Schedule, the Company will deliver to Grantee a number of Shares equal to the number of vested RSUs to be issued to an unrestricted account in Grantee's name; <u>provided</u>, that in the event of Grantee's death, the Shares will be delivered to Grantee's heirs as may be required by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or by court order as soon as practicable (and no later than 30 days) after Grantee's death. The

------

value of the Shares will not bear any interest owing to the passage of time. Neither this Section 3 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement will be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind.

**4. Dividend Equivalents; Stock; Dividends; Voting**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding Shares and, on the record date for such dividend, Grantee holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to Grantee an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends Grantee would have received if Grantee was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs held by Grantee that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which such RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 3 (the "**Dividend Equivalents**"). If the RSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by Grantee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Grantee shall also forfeit the Dividend Equivalents, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited RSUs. No interest will accrue on the Dividend Equivalents between the declaration and payment of the applicable dividends and the settlement of the Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Grantee will not have voting rights or rights to dividends (except as provided in Section 4(a) above) or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares that may become deliverable upon the vesting of any RSUs unless and until Grantee has become the holder of record of such Shares. Upon Grantee becoming the holder of record of such Shares, Grantee will obtain full voting rights, rights to dividends and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.In the event of any adjustments in authorized Shares as provided in Article 4 of the Plan, the number of RSUs and Shares to which Grantee will be entitled pursuant to this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; <u>provided</u>, that any such adjusted RSUs or Shares will remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Any RSUs or Shares issued to Grantee will be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange (or other stock exchange or market system upon which the Shares may be listed from time to time) and any other applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any certificate(s) or other documents(s) for such RSUs or Shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

**5. Nontransferability**

RSUs and any interest therein cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or by court order. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of Grantee.

**6. No Right to Continued Employment**

Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan will be interpreted or construed to confer upon Grantee any right to continued employment by the Company (or any Subsidiary), nor will this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Subsidiary) to terminate at any time Grantee's employment.

------

**7. Taxes and Withholding**

Grantee will be responsible for all federal, state and local income and employment taxes payable with respect to this Agreement and the delivery of Shares in satisfaction of any vested RSUs. Unless Grantee otherwise provides for the satisfaction of the withholding requirements in advance, upon vesting of all or a portion of the RSUs, the Company will satisfy its withholding obligations by withholding Shares otherwise issuable to Grantee pursuant to Section 3; provided, that the maximum number of Shares that may be withheld will be the number of Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of the tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rate for federal, state and local income tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment with respect to the RSUs. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares to Grantee or Grantee's legal representative unless and until Grantee or Grantee's legal representative has paid or otherwise satisfied the full amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable with respect to the compensation income or wages of Grantee resulting from the receipt, vesting or settlement of the RSUs or any other taxable event related to the RSUs. Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of the RSUs or disposition of the underlying Shares and that Grantee has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Grantee's tax liability. Grantee represents that Grantee is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.

**8. Recovery of Compensation; Clawback Rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.**Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in accordance with the Company's Incentive-Based Compensation Recoupment Policy (the "**Policy**"), the right to receive or retain any Shares will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with: (a) the Policy and any other clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Company and as in effect from time to time; and (b) applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. By accepting RSUs, Grantee is deemed to have acknowledged and consented to the Policy and the Company's application, implementation and enforcement of any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Company, whether adopted prior to or following the date of the Grant Date, and any provision of applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement relating to reduction cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment, and to have agreed that the Company may take such actions as may be necessary

------

to effectuate any such policy, requirement or applicable law, without further consideration or action.

**10. Plan Documents; Grantee Bound by the Plan and this Agreement**

Grantee acknowledges that a copy of the Plan, the Plan Prospectus and the Company's latest annual report to shareholders or annual report on Form 10-K are available on the Company's intranet site or upon request. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.

**11. Compliance with Section 409A**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.**The parties intend that this Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (together with any U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, "**Section 409A**") to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or otherwise. However, to the extent that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the parties intend that this Agreement and such benefits comply with the deferral, payout, and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. In addition, to the extent required to avoid a violation of the applicable rules under Section 409A by reason of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payment under this Agreement shall be delayed until the earliest date of payment that will result in compliance with the rules of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (regarding the required six-month delay for distributions to specified employees that are related to a separation from service). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Committee shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Grantee or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company or any Subsidiary based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any amount paid or RSUs granted under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall under any circumstances have any liability to Grantee or his or her estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A.

**13. Restrictive Covenants**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Grantee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, and they will not impair or infringe upon Grantee's right to work or earn a living when Grantee's employment with the Company ends for any reason; and (ii)(A) Grantee will (1) serve the Company as a Key Employee, and/or (2) serve the Company as a Professional, and/or (3) customarily and regularly solicit Customers and/or Prospective Customers for the Company,

------

Grantee agrees that the Company conducts the Company's Business in the Territory.

Because the Company will provide Grantee with access to the Company's Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and valuable information concerning employees, Customers, and Prospective Customers of the Company, and because the Company considers promotions and transfers, and contemplates expansion to new geographic areas, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Territory described above (A) represents a good faith estimate of the geographic areas that may be applicable at the time of termination of Grantee's employment; (B) will be construed ultimately to cover only so much of such estimate as relates to the geographic areas actually involved within a reasonable period of time prior to Grantee's termination; and (C) is drafted in such a way that a court may modify the definition and grant only the relief reasonably necessary to protect such legitimate business interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;x."**Trade Secrets**" means information of the Company, and its licensors, suppliers, clients, and customers, without regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, a list of actual customers, clients, licensors, or suppliers, or a list of potential customers, clients, licensors, or suppliers which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information (A) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.If, during Grantee's employment with the Company or at any time during the restrictive periods described above, Grantee violates the restrictive covenants provided in this Section 11, then the Committee may, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, cancel any RSUs outstanding under this Agreement that have not yet vested. Grantee agrees that this Section 11 will survive the termination of his or her employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.If Grantee breaches or threatens to breach any portion of this Section 11, Grantee agrees that: (i) the Company would suffer irreparable harm; (ii) it would be difficult to determine damages, and money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries suffered by the Company; and (iii) if the Company seeks injunctive relief to enforce any of the covenants provided in this Section 11, Grantee will waive and will not (A) assert any defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law with respect to the breach, (B) require that the Company submit proof of the economic value of any Trade Secret or Confidential Information, or (C) require the Company to post a bond or any other security. Nothing contained in this Section 11 or this Agreement will limit the Company's right to any other remedies at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.The parties agree that each of the covenants provided in this Section 11 will be construed as an agreement independent of (i) any other agreements, or (ii) any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Grantee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, regardless of who was at fault and regardless of any claims that either Grantee or the Company may have against the other,

------

will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of the covenants provided in this Section 11. The Company will not be barred from enforcing any of the covenants provided in this Section 11 by reason of any breach of (i) any other part of this Agreement, or (ii) any other agreement with Grantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.The Company's failure to enforce any provision of this Section 11 will not act as a waiver of that or any other provision. The Company's waiver of any breach of this Section 11 will not act as a waiver of any other breach. The provisions of this Section 11 are severable. If any provision is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision will be modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, the provision will be severed from this Agreement to the extent unenforceable. The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions will remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Grantee, nothing in this Agreement (or any such other agreement) shall limit Grantee's ability, or otherwise interfere with Grantee's rights, to (a) file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state, or local governmental agency or commission (each a "**Government Agency**"), (b) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including, but not limited to, providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company, (c) receive an award for information provided to any Government Agency, or (d) engage in any activity specifically protected by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, or any other federal or state statute or regulation. Grantee is not required to obtain the approval of, or give notice to, the Company or any of its representatives to take any action permitted under this Section 11(j).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.The laws of the State of Utah will govern the restrictive covenants provided in this Section 11. If Utah's conflict of law rules would apply another state's laws, the Company and Grantee agree that Utah law will still govern. Grantee further agrees that any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Section 11 will solely and exclusively be (i) brought in the Third District Court for Salt Lake County, Utah, or (ii) brought in or removed to the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Grantee consents to the personal jurisdiction of the courts identified above. Grantee also waives (A) any objection to jurisdiction or venue, or (B) any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or venue, in any action brought in such courts.

**14. Nature of Grant**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.RSUs and Shares, and any related income and value, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-

------

service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension, retirement, welfare benefits or similar payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.the future value of Shares underlying RSUs is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages will arise from any loss of any right or benefit, or prospective right or benefit, including the forfeiture of RSUs resulting from the termination of Grantee's employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of applicable laws in the jurisdiction where Grantee is employed or the terms of Grantee's employment agreement, if any) and any forfeiture of RSUs or recoupment of Shares resulting from the application of the Policy or any other forfeiture or recoupment pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, RSUs and Shares, and any related income and value, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Grantee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary.

**16. Imposition of Other Requirements**

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

**17. Governing Law**

The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. Any action arising under or related to this Agreement will be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Salt Lake County, Utah and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

**18. Severability**

The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions will nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

**19. Waiver**

Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of any provision, or breach, of this Agreement on any occasion will not operate or be construed as a waiver of such provision on

------

any other occasion or as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Grantee or any other Plan participant.

**20. Successors in Interest**

This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, purchase of stock or assets, or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company's assets and business.

**22. Interpretation**

The Committee will have the sole and absolute authority to interpret, construe and apply the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, as it applies to this Agreement, and to make any and all determinations under them.
