3.
Vesting.

 

(a)
Generally. Subject to acceleration of the vesting of the Award pursuant to Section 3(c) or the forfeiture and termination
of the Award pursuant to Section 3(b), the Options (rounded to the nearest whole share) shall vest and become exercisable hereunder
on the following dates, provided that Grantee has been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from
the Grant Date through each of the following dates:

 

(i)

(ii)
[___________].

 

The
Options may be exercised only to the extent they shall have vested and are exercisable, and during Grantee’s lifetime, only
by Grantee. In no event may the Options be exercised, in whole or in part, after [_________ __, 20__] (the “Expiration Date”).

 

(b)
Terminations.

 

(i)
Termination Other Than For Cause. Upon a termination of Grantee’s employment for any reason other than Cause prior
to vesting pursuant to Section 3(a), all such unvested Options shall be immediately forfeited, and Grantee may exercise the vested
Options within the earlier of thirty (30) days after such termination or the Expiration Date.

 

(ii)
Termination For Cause. Upon a termination of Grantee’s employment for Cause, all unexercised Options (whether vested
or not vested) shall be immediately forfeited.

 

(iii)
Any amount of the Award forfeited under this Section 3 shall be cancelled and shall terminate.

 

(c)
Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control while Grantee is employed by the Company or a subsidiary
of the Company, all unvested Options shall become vested as of the date of the Change in Control.

(e)
Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence
of a Change in Control event described in any of subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) below (each, a “Change in Control Event”),
provided that any such event relates to the Company and is not approved by a majority of the then-existing board of directors
of the Company:

 

(i)
Change of Ownership. A change in ownership occurs if a person, or a group of persons acting together, acquires more than fifty
percent (50%) of the stock of the corporation, measured by total voting power or fair market value. Incremental increases in ownership
by a person or group that already owns fifty percent (50%) of the corporation do not result in a change of ownership.

 

(ii)
Change in Effective Control. A change in effective control occurs if, over a twelve (12) month period: (1) a person or group acquires
stock representing fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the corporation; or (2) a majority of the members of the board
of directors of the corporation is replaced by directors not endorsed by the persons who were members of the board before the

person or group acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the total gross fair market value of all the assets of a corporation over
a twelve (12) month period. No change in control results pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) if the assets are transferred to
entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Company.

 

4.
Exercise of Option. To the extent vested and exercisable, the Option may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a written
exercise notice stating the number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Option accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Shares to be purchased and the payment or provision for any applicable employment or other taxes or
withholding for taxes thereon. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded. No fewer than 100 Shares may be purchased at one
time, unless the number purchased is the total number of Options at the time exercisable.

 

    	 	- 3 -	 

    	 	 	 

    

 

5.
Method of Payment of Option. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or either:

 

(a)
by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the
time of the exercise equal to the Exercise Price prior to their tender to satisfy the Exercise Price if acquired under this Plan
or any other compensation plan maintained by the Company or having been purchased on the open market.

 

(b)
by a cashless exercise (broker-assisted exercise) through a “same-day sale” commitment.

 

(c)
by a combination of (a) and (b); or

 

(d)
by any other method approved or accepted by the Committee.

 

6.
Associated Stock Rights. Neither Grantee nor any other person entitled to exercise the Options shall have any of the rights
or privileges of a stockholder of the Company as to any Shares subject to the Options until the issuance and delivery to him or
such other person of a certificate (or book entry in lieu thereof) evidencing the Shares registered in his or such other person’s
name. No adjustments will be made for dividends or any other rights to the stockholder as to which the record date is prior to
such date of delivery, except as otherwise provided under the Plan.

 

7.
Non-Transferability of Options. The Options and any other rights of Grantee under this Agreement are non-transferable by
Grantee other than by will or under the laws descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment of the Options in violation of
this Section shall be null and void. Under the discretion of the Committee, any attempt to transfer the Options other than under
the terms of this Agreement, may result in the termination of the Options.

 

8.
Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

(a)
Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to (i) withhold and deduct from Grantee’s future wages (or from
other amounts that may be due and owing to Grantee from the Company), or make other arrangement for the collection of, all legally
required amounts necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory Federal, state and local withholding tax obligation (including the
FICA and Medicare tax obligation) attributable to the Option Award; or (ii) require Grantee promptly to remit the amount of such
withholding to the Company. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, the minimum statutory withholding obligations may be satisfied
by withholding Shares to be received or by delivery to the Company of previously-owned Shares. Unless the tax withholding obligations
of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares.

 

(b)
No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employment or service
of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict
in any way the rights of the Company or of Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his employment
or service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard
to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral
or written and whether express or implied) which related to the subject matter hereof. No alteration or modification of this Agreement

such waiver expressly provides to the contrary.

 

(f)
Choice of Law; Venue; Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State, without giving effect
to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and Grantee stipulate and consent to personal jurisdiction and proper venue
in the state or federal courts of Douglas County, Nebraska, and waive each such party’s right to object to a Nebraska court’s

relating to this Agreement, and consent to the submission of all issues of fact and law arising from this Agreement to the judge
of a court of competent jurisdiction as otherwise provided for above.

Successors.

as if this Agreement had been adopted with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof eliminated.

 

(i)
Headings; Interpretation. The headings, captions and arrangements utilized in this Agreement shall not be construed to
limit or modify the terms or meanings of this Agreement. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in
