the opportunity to earn between 0% and 150% of the Target RSUs as vested Restricted Stock Units, each representing the right to

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

3.           Conditions
of Vesting. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (provided that such determination is not adverse
to the Grantee), the Restricted Stock Units will vest only in accordance with the conditions stated in this Section 3. Upon vesting,
Restricted Stock Units and the related Dividend Equivalents shall not be subject to forfeiture other than as provided in Section
9 hereof.

 

(a)          After
December 31, 2020 but on or prior to March 15, 2021, the Committee will certify that portion, if any, of the Target RSUs
that will vest based on the Performance Metrics established in the 2020 Performance Equity Program, the date as of which such
certification is made being referred to as the “Committee Certification Date.” The number of Target RSUs that
will become vested Restricted Stock Units may range from 0% to 150% of the Target RSUs, but if the Committee’s
pre-established level of target performance is achieved, at least 100% of the Target RSUs will vest.

 

(b)         The Committee will promptly notify the Grantee regarding the number of Restricted Stock Units, if any, that have
vested pursuant to Section 3(a) as of the Committee Certification Date (with any fractional Restricted Stock Unit rounded up to
the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit).

 

(c)          Any
Dividend Equivalents with respect to the vested Restricted Stock Units that have not theretofore become Vested Dividend Equivalents
(“Unpaid Dividend Equivalents”) will become vested and payable to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units related
thereto shall have become vested in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 7, the
Grantee will not vest, pursuant to this Section 3, in Target RSUs or related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents in which the Grantee
would otherwise vest as of a given date if the Grantee has not been continuously employed by or providing services to the Company
from the Grant Date through such date (the vesting or forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units and related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents
to be governed instead by Section 7).

 

4.           Settlement
of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units (and related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents) that vest in accordance
with Section 3 or 7 shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable Vesting Date, but in no event later
than March 15, 2021. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made in payment of shares of Common Stock, together
with any related Dividend Equivalents, in accordance with Section 6. Any shares of Common Stock so received shall be fully vested.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

5.           Mandatory
Withholding for Taxes. To the extent that the Company is subject to withholding tax requirements under any national, state,
local or other governmental law with respect to the award of the Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee or the vesting or settlement
thereof, or the designation of any Dividend Equivalents as payable or distributable or the payment or distribution thereof, the
Grantee must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to make payment to the Company or its designee of the amount required
to be withheld under such tax laws, as determined by the Company (collectively, the “Required Withholding Amount”).
To the extent such withholding is required, the Company shall withhold (a) from the shares of Common Stock represented by such
vested Restricted Stock Units and otherwise deliverable to the Grantee a number of shares of Common Stock and/or (b) from any
related Dividend Equivalents otherwise deliverable to the Grantee an amount of such Dividend Equivalents, which collectively have
a value (or, in the case of securities withheld, a Fair Market Value) as of the date the obligation to withhold arises equal to
the Required Withholding Amount, unless the Grantee remits the Required Withholding Amount to the Company or its designee in cash
in such form and by such time as the Company may require or other provisions for withholding such amount satisfactory to the Company
have been made. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the delivery of any shares of Common Stock represented
by vested Restricted Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalents may be postponed until any required withholding taxes have
been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the Grantee may, in his sole discretion,
direct the Company to deduct from the shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units and otherwise deliverable
to the Grantee a number of shares of Common Stock represented by such Restricted Stock Units having a Fair Market Value on the
date the obligation to withhold arises equal to the Required Withholding Amount and (ii) the Company will not withhold any shares
of Common Stock to pay the Required Withholding Amount if the Grantee has remitted cash to the Company or a Subsidiary or designee
thereof in an amount equal to the Required Withholding Amount by such time as the Company may require.

 

6.           Delivery
by the Company. As soon as practicable after the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents,
pursuant to Section 3 or 7 (but in no event later than March 15, 2021), and subject to the withholding referred to in Section
5, the Company will (a) register in a book entry account in the name of the Grantee, or cause to be issued and delivered to the
Grantee (in certificate or electronic form), that number of shares of Common Stock represented by such vested Restricted Stock
Units and any securities representing related vested Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, and (b) cause to be delivered to the Grantee
any cash payment representing related vested Unpaid Dividend Equivalents. Any delivery of securities will be deemed effected for
all purposes when a certificate representing, or statement of holdings reflecting, such securities and, in the case of any Unpaid
Dividend Equivalents, any other documents necessary to reflect ownership thereof by the Grantee, have been delivered personally
to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the Grantee has received such certificates or other documents. Any cash payment
will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash
owed, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, upon receipt by the Grantee.

 

7.           Termination
of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and terminate at the time specified below:

 

(a)          Any Restricted Stock Units that do not become vested in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement or this
Section 7 as of the Committee Certification Date, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, will automatically be forfeited
as of the Close of Business on the Committee Certification Date.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)         Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3, (i) if the Grantee’s Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2020
as a result of death, Disability, termination by the Company without Cause or termination by the Grantee with Good Reason, the
Restricted Stock Units, to the extent not theretofore vested, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, will be immediately
vested and settled with respect to 100% of the Target RSUs pursuant to Section 4, or (ii) if the Grantee’s Separation occurs
prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2020 by reason of the Grantee’s voluntary termination by the Grantee without
Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent not theretofore vested, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, will
remain outstanding until the Committee Certification Date and a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units will vest under
Section 3 on such date to the extent the Committee certifies they have vested in accordance with Section 3 (but in no event at
a level less than 100% of the Target RSUs, regardless of actual performance), such pro rata portion to be equal to the product
of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would otherwise vest, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of calendar days that have elapsed in calendar year 2020 through the date of Separation, and the denominator of which is 365 days;
provided, that if the Grantee remains employed or providing services until the Close of Business on December 31, 2020 and the
Grantee’s Separation then occurs for any reason on or prior to the Committee Certification Date, the Restricted Stock Units
and the related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents will remain outstanding until the Committee Certification Date and will vest under
Section 3 on such date to the extent the Committee certifies they have vested in accordance with Section 3. Upon forfeiture of
any unvested Restricted Stock Units, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, such Restricted Stock Units and any related
Unpaid Dividend Equivalents will be immediately cancelled, and the Grantee will cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

 

8.           Nontransferability
of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, are not transferable (either
voluntarily or involuntarily) before or after the Grantee’s death, except as follows: (a) during the Grantee’s lifetime,
pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not contrary to the terms and conditions
of the Plan or this Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b) after the Grantee’s death, by will or pursuant
to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case. Any person to whom Restricted Stock Units are transferred
in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Restricted Stock Units subject to all of the terms
and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including that the vesting and termination provisions of this Agreement will continue
to be applied with respect to the Grantee. Certificates representing Restricted Stock Units that have vested may be delivered
(or, in the case of book entry registration, registered) only to the Grantee (or during the Grantee’s lifetime, to the Grantee’s
court appointed legal representative) or to a person to whom the Restricted Stock Units have been transferred in accordance with
this Section.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

9.           Forfeiture
for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts. If (i) a material restatement of any financial statement of the Company
(including any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) is required and (ii) in the
reasonable judgment of the Committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting
requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the Grantee,
the Grantee will repay to the Company Forfeitable Benefits received by the Grantee during the Misstatement Period in such
amount as the Committee may reasonably determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by
the Committee, the extent to which the market value of Common Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the
error(s) giving rise to the need for such restatement. “Forfeitable Benefits” means (i) any and all cash and/or
shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee (A) upon the exercise during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the
Grantee or (B) upon the payment during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award held by the Grantee,
the value of which is determined in whole or in part with reference to the value of Common Stock, and (ii) any proceeds
received by the Grantee from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement Period of any shares
of Common Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise, vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award
held by the Grantee. By way of clarification, “Forfeitable Benefits” will not include any shares of Common Stock
delivered in respect of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units during the Misstatement Period or any securities received
as Dividend Equivalents in respect thereof, in each case that are not sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of
during the Misstatement Period. “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month period beginning on the date of the
first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial
statement requiring restatement.

 

10.         No Stockholder Rights; Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or
to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by any Restricted
Stock Units unless and until such time as shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units have been delivered
to the Grantee in accordance with Section 6, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the
Company or any stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, any reclassification,
reorganization or other change of or to its capital or business structure, merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale or other
disposition of all or any part of its business or assets. The Grantee will have no right to receive, or otherwise with respect
to, any Dividend Equivalents until such time, if ever, as (a) the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents
relate shall have become vested, or (b) such Dividend Equivalents shall have become vested in accordance with the third to last
sentence of this Section, and, if vesting does not occur, the related Dividend Equivalents will be forfeited. Dividend Equivalents
shall not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate the vesting of any portion of the Dividend Equivalents (the “Vested Dividend Equivalents”). The settlement
of any Vested Dividend Equivalents shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the accelerated vesting date, but
in no event later than March 15, 2021. With respect to any Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents, the Grantee is a general
unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

11.         Adjustments.
If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification
or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the
Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization,
split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any shares of Common Stock or other
similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations) affects shares of Common Stock such that an adjustment is required
to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the applicable Restricted
Stock Units will be subject to adjustment in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate
in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 11 following the Grant Date.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

12.         Restrictions Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8 of the Plan, the Company
will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units or securities constituting
any Unpaid Dividend Equivalents if counsel to the Company determines that the issuance or delivery thereof would violate any applicable
law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any
securities exchange or association upon which shares of Common Stock or such other securities are listed or quoted. The Company
will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares of Common Stock represented
by vested Restricted Stock Units or securities constituting or cash payment related to any Unpaid Dividend Equivalents to comply
with any such law, rule, regulation, or agreement.

 

13.         Notice.

Stock Units (after taking into account any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents).

 

15.         Grantee Services. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with
respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company
or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time, with

be void, and (b) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities

all variations thereof are used in an illustrative sense and not in a limiting sense. All decisions of the Committee upon questions
regarding this Agreement or the Plan will be conclusive. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, in the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control. The headings of the sections of this Agreement

not expressed herein has been made regarding the Award and that this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the Award and replaces and makes null and void any prior agreements between the Grantee and the Company
regarding the Award. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 8 and 16, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

21.         Grantee Acceptance. The Grantee will signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
by acknowledging the acceptance of this Agreement via the procedures described in the online grant and administration program utilized
by the Company or by such other method as may be agreed by the Grantee and the Company.

 

22.         Code
Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or any U.S. Department of the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder are applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, the parties intend that
this Agreement will meet the requirements of such Code section and regulations and that the provisions hereof will be interpreted
in a manner that is consistent with such intent. If, however, the Grantee is liable for the payment of any tax, penalty or interest
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, or any successor or like provision (the “409A Tax”), with respect to this Agreement
any payments or property transfers received or to be received under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company will pay the Grantee
an amount (the “Special Reimbursement”) which, after payment to the Grantee (or on the Grantee’s behalf) of
any federal, state and local taxes, including, without limitation, any further tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of
the Code, with respect to or resulting from the Special Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the 409A Tax. Any payment due
to the Grantee under this Section will be made to the Grantee, or on behalf of the Grantee, as soon as practicable after the determination
of the amount of such payment, but no sooner than the date on which the Company is required to withhold such amount or the Grantee
is required to pay such amount to the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments under this Section
will be made to the Grantee, or on the Grantee’s behalf, no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following
the calendar year in which the Grantee or the Company paid the related taxes, interest or penalties. The Grantee will cooperate
with the Company in taking such actions as the Company may reasonably request to assure that this Agreement will meet the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code and any U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and to limit the amount
of any additional payments required by this Section to be made to the Grantee. The Company represents and warrants that the Restricted
Stock Units satisfy all requirements under Section 409A of the Code and any U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder such that the Restricted Stock Units are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code.

 

23.         Replacement Awards. Any restricted stock unit, restricted stock, option or other equity or equity derivative
that is issued after the Grant Date to the Grantee by the Company or any other Person pursuant to a Fundamental Corporate Event
in full or partial replacement of, as an adjustment to, or otherwise with respect to, Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to
this Agreement (a “Replacement Award”), will have the same term and the same vesting and exercisability terms and conditions
as the Restricted Stock Units, except that if the Company is not the issuer of a Replacement Award, the definition of Change in
Control with respect to such Replacement Award will be applied with respect to the issuer of such Replacement Award as if it were
the “Company” for purposes of such definition. By way of illustration, a Change in Control of the Company will not
cause acceleration of any Replacement Awards that are not issued by the Company and a Change in Control of the issuer of any Replacement
Awards with respect to which the Company is not the issuer will not cause acceleration of any remaining Restricted Stock Units
with respect to which the Company is the issuer.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

24.         Confidential
Information. The Grantee will not, during or after his employment or service with the Company, without the prior express written
consent of the Company, directly or indirectly use or divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information
(as defined below) to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or any other entity or third party (other than when required
to do so in good faith to perform the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or when (i) required to do so
by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power,
or (ii) necessary to prosecute the Grantee’s rights against the Company or its Subsidiaries or to defend himself against
any allegations). The Grantee will also proffer to the Company, no later than the effective date of any termination of the Grantee’s
engagement with the Company for any reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer
disks or other media, computer programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies,
and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in the Grantee’s actual or constructive
possession or which are subject to the Grantee’s control at such time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential
Information” will mean all information respecting the business and activities of the Company or any Subsidiary, including,
without limitation, the clients, customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other files, projects, products, computer
disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans, financial information, methodologies,
know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, trade secrets, data gathering methods and/or
strategies of the Company or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Confidential Information will
not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the public (unless such availability occurs as a result
of the Grantee’s breach of any of his obligations under this Section). If the Grantee is in breach of any of the provisions
of this Section or if any such breach is threatened by the Grantee, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other rights
or remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any
court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to restrain any
such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of this Section. The Grantee agrees that there is no adequate remedy
at law for any such breach or threatened breach and, if any action or proceeding is brought seeking injunctive relief, the Grantee
will not use as a defense thereto that there is an adequate remedy at law.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

25.         Arbitration.
Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement or the Grantee’s employment with
or service to, or termination of employment or service from, the Company (including whether such controversy, claim or dispute
is subject to arbitration), excepting only claims that may not, by statute, be arbitrated, will be submitted to binding arbitration.
Both the Grantee and the Company acknowledge that they are relinquishing their right to a jury trial. The Grantee and the Company
agree that arbitration will be the exclusive method for resolving disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or to the
Grantee’s employment or service with, or termination of employment or service from, the Company. The arbitration will be
administered by JAMS in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS then in effect and subject to
JAMS Policy on Employment Arbitration Minimum Standards, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Arbitration will be commenced
and heard in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. Only one arbitrator will preside over the proceedings, who will be selected
by agreement of the parties from a list of five or more qualified arbitrators provided by the arbitration tribunal, or if the
parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 10 Business Days following receipt of such list, the arbitration tribunal
will select the arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of Colorado
or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. In any arbitration, the burden of proof will be allocated as
provided by applicable law. The arbitrator will have the authority to award any and all legal and equitable relief authorized
by the law applicable to the claim(s) being asserted in the arbitration, as if the claim(s) were brought in a federal court of
law. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award.
Discovery, such as depositions or document requests, will be available to the Company and the Grantee as though the dispute were
pending in U.S. federal court. The arbitrator will have the ability to rule on pre-hearing motions as though the matter were in
a U.S. federal court, including the ability to rule on a motion for summary judgment.

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

3.           Conditions
of Exercise. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (provided that such determination is not adverse
to the Grantee), the Options will be exercisable only in accordance with the conditions stated in this Section 3.

 

(a)         The
Options may be exercised only to the extent they have become vested and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Employment Agreement, subject to the Grantee’s continued employment
with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary on such date, all of the Options subject to this Agreement will become vested
and exercisable on December 31, 2023.

 

(b)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) all Options will become vested and exercisable on the date of the Grantee’s Separation if (A) the Grantee’s
Separation occurs on or after the Grant Date by reason of Disability or (B) the Grantee dies while employed by or providing services
to the Company or a Subsidiary, and (ii) Options that have not theretofore become vested and exercisable will become vested and
exercisable to the extent provided in Section 7 of this Agreement, on the date of the Grantee’s Separation.

 

(c)         To
the extent the Options become vested and exercisable, any or all of such Options may be exercised (at any time or from time to
time, except as otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof as provided herein.

 

The Grantee acknowledges and
agrees that the Committee, in its discretion and as contemplated by the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time
after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of Options will be subject
to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may determine
are applicable thereto.

 

4.           Manner
of Exercise. Options will be considered exercised (as to the number of Options specified in the notice referred to in Section
4(a) below) on the latest of (i) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(a) below, (ii)
if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (iii) the earliest Business Day
by which the Company has received all of the following:

 

(a)         Written
notice, in such form as the Committee may require, containing such representations and warranties as the Committee may reasonably
require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of shares of Common Stock (“Option Shares”)
to be purchased by exercise of Options;

 

(b)         Payment
of the Base Price for each Option Share to be purchased in any (or a combination) of the following forms, as determined by the
Grantee: (A) cash, (B) check, (C) whole shares of any class or series of the Company’s common stock, (D) the delivery, together
with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount
of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable the Required Withholding Amount, as described in Section
5 below), or (E) the delivery of irrevocable instructions via the Company’s online grant and administration program for
the Company to withhold the number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date
of exercise) required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable, the Required Withholding Amount, as described in Section 5 below)
that would otherwise be delivered by the Company to the Grantee upon exercise of the Options (it being acknowledged that the method
of exercise described in this clause (E) applies to the Options granted pursuant to this Agreement and will not apply to any options
granted under the Plan to the Grantee after the Grant Date unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement); and

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(c)          Any
other documentation that the Committee may reasonably require.

 

5.           Mandatory
Withholding for Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise
payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options that number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise that is equal to the amount of all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary
of the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless the Grantee
remits the Required Withholding Amount to the Company or its designee in cash in such form and by such time as the Company may
require or other provisions for withholding such amount satisfactory to the Company have been made. If the Grantee elects to make
payment of the Base Price by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of
sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price, such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required Withholding
Amount to the Company. In such case, the Company will notify the broker promptly of the Company's determination of the Required
Withholding Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the Grantee may, in his sole
discretion, direct the Company to deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any
Options that number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Options having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise that is equal to the Required Withholding Amount and (ii) the Company will not withhold any shares of Common Stock to
pay the Required Withholding Amount if the Grantee has remitted cash to the Company or a Subsidiary or designee thereof in an amount
equal to the Required Withholding Amount by such time as the Company may require.

 

6.           Payment
or Delivery by the Company. As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4 above, and subject to
the withholding referred to in Section 5 above, the Company will (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee certificates
issued in the Grantee’s name for, or cause to be transferred to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for
the benefit of the Grantee, the shares of Common Stock purchased by exercise of Options, and (ii) deliver any cash payment to which
the Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock as provided in Section 2 above. Any delivery of shares of
Common Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered personally
to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the certificates have been received by the Grantee, or at the time the stock transfer
agent completes the transfer of shares to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee,
if applicable, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount
equal to the amount of the cash owed, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, upon receipt by
the Grantee.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

7.           Effect
of Termination of Employment or Service by the Company Without Cause or by the Grantee For or Without Good Reason on Exercisability
of Options.

 

(a)          If
the Grantee’s Separation occurs on or after January 1, 2020 on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment
by or service to the Company without Cause or on account of a voluntary termination by the Grantee of his employment or service
for Good Reason, any Options that are outstanding and unvested at the time of such termination will immediately become vested and
exercisable in full.

 

(b)         In
addition to the acceleration provided pursuant to Section 3(b) on account of death or Disability, if the Grantee’s Separation
occurs on or after January 1, 2020 on account of a voluntary termination by the Grantee of his employment or service without Good
Reason, a pro rata portion of the Options that are not vested on the date of such Separation will vest and become exercisable as
of the date of such Separation, such pro rata portion to be equal to the product of the number of Option Shares represented by
the Options that are not vested on the date of such Separation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of calendar days that have elapsed from January 1, 2020 through the date of Separation, and the denominator of which is 1,460 days.

 

8.           Termination
of Options. The Options will terminate at the time specified below:

 

(a)          If
a Change in Control occurs after the Grant Date but prior to the Grantee’s Separation, all Options will terminate at the
expiration of the Term.

 

(b)          If,
in the absence of a Change in Control after the Grant Date, the Grantee’s Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business
on December 31, 2023 on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service for Cause, all Options that are not
vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at that time and all Options that are
vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at the Close of Business on the first
Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period that began on the date of the Grantee's Separation.

 

(c)          If
(i) the Grantee’s Separation occurs after the Close of Business on December 31, 2023, or (ii) in the absence of a Change
in Control after the Grant Date, the Grantee’s Separation occurs (A) on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment
or service without Cause, (B) on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service by the Grantee with or without
Good Reason, or (C) by reason of the death or Disability of the Grantee, then, in each case, all Options that are not vested and
exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 3 and 7 above
will terminate at that time, and all Options that are vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation
after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 3 and 7 above will terminate at the expiration of the Term.

 

In any event in which
Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of the Grantee’s Separation as provided above, the Options
may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were vested and exercisable as provided in Section 3 above
on such date of Separation (after giving effect to the application of Section 7 above). Notwithstanding any period of time referenced
in this Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options
will in any event terminate not later than upon the expiration of the Term.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

9.          Nontransferability.
Options are not transferable (either voluntarily or involuntarily), before or after Grantee’s death, except as follows: (a)
during Grantee’s lifetime, pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is not
contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b) after Grantee’s
death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case. Any person to whom Options are
transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Options subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including that the vesting and termination provisions of this Agreement will continue
to be applied with respect to the Grantee. Options are exercisable only by the Grantee (or, during the Grantee’s lifetime,
by the Grantee’s court appointed legal representative) or a person to whom the Options have been transferred in accordance
with this Section.

 

10.        Forfeiture
for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts. If (i) a material restatement of any financial statement of the Company (including
any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) is required and (ii) in the reasonable judgment
of the Committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable
securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the Grantee, the Grantee will repay to the
Company Forfeitable Benefits received by the Grantee during the Misstatement Period in such amount as the Committee may reasonably
determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by the Committee, the extent to which the market
value of Common Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the error(s) giving rise to the need for such restatement.
“Forfeitable Benefits” means (i) any and all cash and/or shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee (A) upon the
exercise during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the Grantee or (B) upon the payment during the Misstatement Period
of any Cash Award or Performance Award held by the Grantee, the value of which is determined in whole or in part with reference
to the value of Common Stock, and (ii) any proceeds received by the Grantee from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition
during the Misstatement Period of any shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise, vesting or payment during
the Misstatement Period of any Award held by the Grantee. By way of clarification, “Forfeitable Benefits” will not
include any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of any Options during the Misstatement Period that are not sold, exchanged,
transferred or otherwise disposed of during the Misstatement Period. “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month period
beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs
earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement.

 

11.        No
Stockholder Rights. Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect
to any shares of Common Stock underlying the Options, as applicable, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way
the right or power of the Company or any stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation,
any reclassification, reorganization or other change of or to its capital or business structure, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
or sale or other disposition of all or any part of its business or assets.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

12.        Adjustments.
If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification
or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the
Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization,
split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any shares of Common Stock or other
similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations) affects shares of Common Stock such that an adjustment is required
to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Options will be subject
to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of Options and the Base Price per share of such Options) in such
manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the
events described in this Section 12 following the Grant Date.

 

13.        Restrictions
Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the Options, and
the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of Common Stock if counsel
to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of
any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association
upon which shares of such Common Stock are listed or quoted. The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative
action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of Common Stock to
comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

 

14.        Notice.
Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure or address, any notice or other communication to the
Company with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by United States first class
mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

in the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the consent of the Grantee,

of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect any Options.

 

16.         Grantee
Services. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer
or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or interfere in any way
with the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time, with or without Cause, subject
to the provisions of the Services Agreement and Employment Agreement.

to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same will be void, and (ii)
no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the

21.         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement is in satisfaction of and in lieu of all prior discussions and agreements, oral or written, between
the Company and the Grantee regarding the Award. The Grantee and the Company hereby declare and represent that no promise or agreement
not expressed herein has been made regarding the Award and that this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the Award and replaces and makes null and void any prior agreements between the Grantee and the Company
regarding the Award. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 9 and 17 of this Agreement, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

 

22.         Grantee
Acceptance. The Grantee will signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by acknowledging the acceptance
of this Agreement via the procedures described in the online grant and administration program utilized by the Company or by such
other method as may be agreed by the Grantee and the Company.

 

23.         Code
Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or any U.S. Department of the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder are applicable to any Option, the parties intend that this Agreement will meet the requirements
of such Code section and regulations and that the provisions hereof will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with such
intent. If, however, the Grantee is liable for the payment of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code,
or any successor or like provision (the “409A Tax”), with respect to this Agreement any payments or property transfers
received or to be received under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company will pay the Grantee an amount (the “Special Reimbursement”)
which, after payment to the Grantee (or on the Grantee’s behalf) of any federal, state and local taxes, including, without
limitation, any further tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code, with respect to or resulting from the Special
Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the 409A Tax. Any payment due to the Grantee under this Section will be made to the Grantee,
or on behalf of the Grantee, as soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of such payment, but no sooner than the
date on which the Company is required to withhold such amount or the Grantee is required to pay such amount to the Internal Revenue
Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments under this Section will be made to the Grantee, or on the Grantee’s
behalf, no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Grantee or the Company
paid the related taxes, interest or penalties. The Grantee will cooperate with the Company in taking such actions as the Company
may reasonably request to assure that this Agreement will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any U.S. Department
of the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and to limit the amount of any additional payments required by this Section
to be made to the Grantee. The Company represents and warrants that the Option satisfies all requirements under Section 409A
of the Code and any U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder such that the Option is exempt from Section 409A
of the Code, including, without limitation, that the Common Stock underlying each Option is “service recipient stock”
and with respect to an “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” (each as defined in Section 409A) and the Base
Price is not less than the Fair Market Value of one share of the applicable class of Common Stock on the Grant Date.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

24.        Replacement
Awards. Any restricted stock unit, restricted stock, option or other equity or equity derivative that is issued after the Grant
Date to the Grantee by the Company or any other Person pursuant to a Fundamental Corporate Event in full or partial replacement
of, as an adjustment to, or otherwise with respect to, an Option granted pursuant to this Agreement (a “Replacement Award”),
will have the same term and the same vesting and exercisability terms and conditions as the Options, except that if the Company
is not the issuer of a Replacement Award, the definition of Change in Control with respect to such Replacement Award will be applied
with respect to the issuer of such Replacement Award as if it were the “Company” for purposes of such definition. By
way of illustration, a Change in Control of the Company will not cause acceleration of any Replacement Awards that are not issued
by the Company and a Change in Control of the issuer of any Replacement Awards with respect to which the Company is not the issuer
will not cause acceleration of any remaining Options with respect to which the Company is the issuer.

 

25.        Confidential Information. The Grantee will not, during or after his employment or service with the
Company, without the prior express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly use or divulge, disclose or make
available or accessible any Confidential Information (as defined below) to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust
or any other entity or third party (other than when required to do so in good faith to perform the Grantee’s duties and
responsibilities to the Company or when (i) required to do so by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any
governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power, or (ii) necessary to prosecute the Grantee’s rights
against the Company or its Subsidiaries or to defend himself against any allegations). The Grantee will also proffer to the
Company, no later than the effective date of any termination of the Grantee’s engagement with the Company for any
reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer
programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents
consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in the Grantee’s actual or constructive possession or
which are subject to the Grantee’s control at such time. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Confidential Information” will mean all information respecting the business and activities of the Company or any
Subsidiary, including, without limitation, the clients, customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other
files, projects, products, computer disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans,
financial information, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems,
trade secrets, data gathering methods and/or strategies of the Company or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, Confidential Information will not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the
public (unless such availability occurs as a result of the Grantee’s breach of any of his obligations under this
Section). If the Grantee is in breach of any of the provisions of this Section or if any such breach is threatened by the
Grantee, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies available to the Company at law or in
equity, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity
to grant such relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to
enforce the provisions of this Section. The Grantee agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for any such breach
or threatened breach and, if any action or proceeding is brought seeking injunctive relief, the Grantee will not use as a
defense thereto that there is an adequate remedy at law.

26.        Arbitration.
Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement or the Grantee’s employment with
or service to, or termination of employment or service from, the Company (including whether such controversy, claim or dispute
is subject to arbitration), excepting only claims that may not, by statute, be arbitrated, will be submitted to binding arbitration.
Both the Grantee and the Company acknowledge that they are relinquishing their right to a jury trial. The Grantee and the Company
agree that arbitration will be the exclusive method for resolving disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or to the
Grantee’s employment or service with, or termination of employment or service from, the Company.

 

The arbitration will
be administered by JAMS in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS then in effect and subject
to JAMS Policy on Employment Arbitration Minimum Standards, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Arbitration will be
commenced and heard in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. Only one arbitrator will preside over the proceedings, who will
be selected by agreement of the parties from a list of five or more qualified arbitrators provided by the arbitration tribunal,
or if the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 10 Business Days following receipt of such list, the arbitration
tribunal will select the arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of
Colorado or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. In any arbitration, the burden of proof will be allocated
as provided by applicable law. The arbitrator will have the authority to award any and all legal and equitable relief authorized
by the law applicable to the claim(s) being asserted in the arbitration, as if the claim(s) were brought in a federal court of
law. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award.
Discovery, such as depositions or document requests, will be available to the Company and the Grantee as though the dispute were
pending in U.S. federal court. The arbitrator will have the ability to rule on pre-hearing motions as though the matter were in
a U.S. federal court, including the ability to rule on a motion for summary judgment.

 

If permitted by applicable
law, the fees of the arbitrator and any other fees for the administration of the arbitration that would not normally be incurred
if the action were brought in a court of law (e.g., filing fees or room rental fees) will be shared equally by the parties.
If the foregoing is not permitted by applicable law, the fees of the arbitrator and any other fees for the administration of the
arbitration that would not normally be incurred if the action were brought in a court of law will be paid by the Company. Each
party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, unless the relief authorized
by law allows otherwise and the arbitrator determines that such fees and costs will be paid in a different manner. The arbitrator
must provide a written decision. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or a
court of law, that part may be severed or reformed so as to make the balance of this arbitration provision enforceable.
