In the event of any conflict between the terms in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below: (a) “Cause” shall mean: (i) the willful and continued failure by the Participant to substantially perform the Participant’s duties with the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable (other than any such failure resulting from termination by the Participant for Good Reason), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable, believes that the Participant has not substantially performed the Participant’s duties, and the Participant has failed to resume substantial performance of the Participant’s duties on a continuous basis within five days of receiving such demand; (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) the Participant’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, (A) a felony or (B) a misdemeanor which impairs the Participant’s ability substantially to perform the Participant’s duties with the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable. For the purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the Participant’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable. (b) “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any person becoming a member of the Board subsequent to the effective date of the Plan whose election, or nomination for the election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Board members then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this clause (i), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board as of the effective date of the Plan; (ii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the Voting Power of the reorganized, merged or consolidated entity; (iii) Any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person, any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 30% or more of the Voting Power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; (iv) A liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (v) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

3 (c) “Continuous Employment” shall mean the absence of any interruption or termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and the performance of substantial services. Continuous Employment shall not be considered interrupted or terminated in the case of sick leave, short-term disability (as defined in the Company’s sole discretion), military leave or any other leave of absence approved by the Company unless and until there is a Separation from Service (as defined in Section 1(g) below). (d) “Divestiture” shall mean a permanent disposition to a person other than the Company of a plant or other facility or property at which the Participant performs a majority of the Participant’s services, whether such disposition is effected by means of a sale of assets, a sale of Subsidiary stock or otherwise. (e) “Early Retirement” shall mean a Separation from Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries when the Participant (i) is at least age 55, and (ii) has at least ten years of credited service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(h) “Specified Employee” is as defined under Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). (i) “Successors” shall mean the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of a person. 2. Vesting of RSUs. (a) Normal Vesting. Subject to the Plan and this Agreement, if the Participant has been in Continuous Employment through each of the Vesting Dates as set forth in the Notice, then the RSUs subject to each such Vesting Date will become nonforfeitable (“Vest” or similar terms). (b) Termination of Employment. If, prior to the last Vesting Date set forth in the Notice, the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate: (i) by reason of death or involuntary termination due to disability, then all unvested RSUs evidenced by this Agreement shall, to the extent such RSUs have not previously been forfeited, become 100% Vested; (ii) by reason of Normal Retirement occurring on or after the date that is 12 months after the Date of Grant, then all unvested RSUs evidenced by this Agreement shall, to the extent such RSUs have not previously been forfeited, become 100% Vested; (iii) by reason of Early Retirement or involuntary termination due to position elimination or reduction in force (each as defined in the Company’s sole discretion), or Divestiture, in each case, on or after the date that is 12 months after the Date of Grant, the Participant will Vest in a pro rata portion of the RSUs determined by (A) multiplying the number of RSUs evidenced by this Agreement by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which the Participant was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the Separation from Service and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the last Vesting Date, rounded to the nearest whole number of RSUs and (B) subtracting any RSUs that have previously Vested or been forfeited from the number of RSUs determined in the immediately preceding clause (A); and (iv) for Cause prior to any Vesting Date, then all RSUs, whether Vested or unvested prior to such Vesting Date, shall be immediately forfeited without further consideration to the Participant.

4 (c) Accelerated Vesting in Connection with a Change of Control. (i) If a Change of Control occurs prior to the last Vesting Date, and the Participant has been in Continuous Employment between the Date of Grant and the date of such Change of Control, then all unvested RSUs evidenced by this Agreement shall become 100% Vested, except (A) to the extent such RSUs have previously been forfeited, or (B) to the extent that a Replacement Award is provided to the Participant to replace, continue or adjust the outstanding RSUs (the “Replaced Award”). If the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary (or any of its or their successors after the Change of Control) (as applicable, the “Successor Company”) is terminated prior to the last Vesting Date (x) by the Participant for Good Reason or by the Successor Company other than for Cause, in each case within a period of two years after the Change of Control or (y) due to Early Retirement or Normal Retirement at any time following a Change of Control that qualifies as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, then, in each case, to the extent that the Replacement Award has not previously been Vested or forfeited, the Replacement Award will become 100% Vested (and become entitled to settlement as specified in Section 3(b)(i)). (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (A) of the same type (i.e., time-based restricted stock units) as the Replaced Award, (B) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (C) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Successor Company in the Change of Control (or another entity that is affiliated with the Successor Company following the Change of Control), (D) the tax consequences of which for such Participant under the Code, if the Participant is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, are not less favorable to the Participant than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (E) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent change of control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or ceasing to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding two sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 2(c)(ii) are satisfied will be made in good faith by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change of Control, in its sole discretion. (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means: (A) any material failure of the Successor Company to comply with and satisfy any of the terms of any employment or change in control (or similar) agreement between the Successor Company and the Participant pursuant to which the Participant provides services to the Successor Company; (B) any significant involuntary reduction of the authority, duties or responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, involuntary removal of the Participant from an officer position that the Participant holds immediately prior to the Change of Control will not, by itself, constitute a significant involuntary reduction of the authority, duties or responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control); (C) any material involuntary reduction in the aggregate target cash remuneration opportunity of the Participant as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control; or (D) requiring the Participant to become based at any office or location more than 50 miles from the office or location at which the Participant was based immediately prior to such Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities; provided, however, that no termination shall be deemed to be for Good Reason unless (x) the Participant provides the Successor Company with written notice setting forth the specific facts or circumstances constituting Good Reason within ninety days after the initial existence of the occurrence of such facts or circumstances, (y) the Successor Company fails to cure such facts or circumstances within thirty days of its receipt of such written notice, and (z) the Participant actually terminates employment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Successor Company’s thirty-day cure period, if such event or circumstance has not been cured.

5 (iv) If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding RSUs which at the time of the Change of Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be Vested at the time of such Change of Control (and such Vested RSUs shall be settled in accordance with Section 3(b)(ii) below). (d) Forfeiture of RSUs. Subject to Section 2(b)(iv), any RSUs that have not Vested pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), or Section 2(c) as of any Vesting Date will be forfeited automatically and without further notice on such date (or earlier if, and on such date that, the Participant ceases to be in Continuous Employment prior to such Vesting Date for any reason other than as described in Section 2(b) or Section 2(c)). 3. Settlement of RSUs. (a) Normal. Subject to Section 3(b), the Company will issue to the Participant one share of Stock on each Vesting Date for each RSU that is a Vested RSU on such Vesting Date to the extent the RSU has not previously been Vested, forfeited or settled. (b) Other Settlement Events. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), to the extent the RSUs are Vested RSUs on the dates set forth below and to the extent the Vested RSUs have not previously been Vested, forfeited or settled, the Company will settle such Vested RSUs as follows: (i) Termination of Employment. If there are such Vested RSUs upon the Participant’s termination of employment by reason of one or more of the termination events set forth in Section 2(b)(i), Section 2(b)(ii), Section 2(b)(iii) or Section 2(c)(i) hereof, then one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested RSU within thirty days of the Participant’s termination of employment. (ii) Change of Control. If there are such Vested RSUs upon a Change of Control, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested RSU as of the date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that if such Change of Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, the Participant is entitled to receive the corresponding payment on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to Section 3 as though such Change of Control had not occurred. (c) Payment of Taxes Upon Settlement. As a condition of the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of RSUs hereunder, the Participant agrees to remit to the Company at the time of settlement any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, under Federal, State or local law as a result of the settlement of the RSUs. As a condition of the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of RSUs hereunder, the Participant agrees that the Company will deduct from the total shares to be issued as a result of the Vesting of the RSUs a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the required statutory withholding amount, which may exceed the minimum statutory tax withholding amount permissible only if it would not cause adverse accounting or tax consequences for the Company or a Subsidiary. (d) Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything (including any provision of the Agreement or the Plan) to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee and if the RSUs are subject to Section 409A of the Code, payment to the Participant on account of a Separation from Service shall, to the extent required to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), be made to the Participant on the earlier of (i) the Participant’s death or (ii) the first business day (or within 30 days after such first business day) that is more than six months after the date of Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service. In the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, interest may be paid due to such delay. Further, any interest will be calculated in the manner determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion in a manner that qualifies any interest as reasonable earnings under Section 409A of the Code. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any dividends that would have been paid during the delay if the Stock had been issued. To the extent required for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment that vests under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

6 4. Non-Transferability of RSUs. The RSUs may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent or distribution) nor may the Participant enter into any transaction for the purpose of, or which has the effect of, reducing the market risk of holding the RSUs by using puts, calls or similar financial techniques. The RSUs subject to this Agreement may be settled during the lifetime of the Participant only with the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the RSUs or any related rights to the RSUs that is contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the RSUs or such rights, the RSUs and such rights shall immediately become null and void. The terms of this Agreement, shall be binding upon the Successors of the Participant. 5. Stock Subject to the RSUs; Compliance with Law. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock or any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock with respect to the Participant’s RSUs until such shares have been listed (or authorized for listing upon official notice of issuance) upon each stock exchange on which outstanding shares of the same class are then listed and until the Company has taken such steps as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be required by law and applicable regulations, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and state securities laws and regulations, in connection with the issuance of such shares, and the listing of such shares on each such exchange. 6. Rights as Stockholder. The Participant or the Participant’s Successors shall have no rights as stockholder with respect to any RSUs or underlying shares of Stock covered by this Agreement until the Participant or the Participant’s Successors shall have become the beneficial owner of such shares, and, except as provided in Section 7 and Section 8, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such shares for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Participant or the Participant’s Successors shall have become the beneficial owner thereof. 7. Dividend Equivalents. From and after the Date of Grant and until the earlier of (a) the time when the RSUs become Vested and are settled in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 or (b) the time when the Participant’s right to receive shares of Stock in settlement of the RSUs is forfeited in accordance with Section 2, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be entitled to a number of additional RSUs determined by dividing (i) the product of (x) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (y) the total number of RSUs (including dividend equivalents paid thereon) previously credited to the Participant as of such date, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date. Such dividend equivalents (if any) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be paid or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSUs to which the dividend equivalents were credited. 8. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization, corporate transaction, sale or other disposition of assets or similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company as described in Section 5.5 of the Plan, the Committee shall make equitable adjustment as it determines necessary and appropriate in the number and type of shares subject to this Agreement. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment is prohibited by Section 5.5 of the Plan (relating to Section 409A of the Code). 9. Notices.

Each notice to the Company shall be addressed to its principal office in Eagle, Idaho, Attention: Compensation.

Anyone to whom a notice may be given under this Agreement may designate a new address by giving notice to the effect. 10. Benefits of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor of the Company. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant’s Successors.

No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or affect the rights of the Company or the Participant under any employment agreement or confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary.

In addition to the clawback described in Section 18(c), the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the RSUs and this Agreement (and any settlement of the RSUs) are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s clawback policies as may be in effect from time to time (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”), and that relevant sections of this Agreement shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy from and after the effective date thereof. Further, by receiving the RSUs, the Participant (a) consents to be bound by the terms of the Compensation Recovery Policy, as applicable, (b) agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to and will cooperate with, and will provide any and all assistance necessary to, the Company in any effort to recover or recoup any compensation or other amounts subject to clawback or recovery pursuant to the Compensation Recovery Policy and/or applicable laws, rules, regulations, stock exchange listing standards or other Company policy, and (c) agrees that the Company may enforce its rights under the Compensation Recovery Policy through any and all reasonable means permitted under applicable law as it deems necessary or desirable under the Compensation Recovery Policy.

Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or future awards that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 18. Restrictive Covenants. (a) Confidentiality. It is a condition to the Participant’s receipt of the RSUs that the Participant execute and agree to the terms of the Company or a Subsidiary’s current and applicable Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). By electronically accepting this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has either already entered into such Confidentiality Agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary as of the date of acceptance or will enter into such agreement within 30 days of the Participant’s receipt of this grant of RSUs. If such execution is required and the Participant does not sign and return the Confidentiality Agreement as prompted by the Workday HR system within

8 30 days of the Participant’s receipt of this grant of RSUs, this grant of RSUs and any rights to the RSUs will terminate and become null and void. The Participant further acknowledges that as consideration for the Participant’s agreement to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company is providing the Participant with the opportunity to participate in this grant of RSUs under the Plan and receive the RSUs evidenced by this Agreement. The Participant understands that this acknowledgment shall be deemed a part of the Confidentiality Agreement and is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with its terms. (b) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. By electronically accepting this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received or will receive specialized training, trade secrets and confidential information from the Company and, in consideration thereof, agrees to the non- competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Obligations”). The Participant further acknowledges that as consideration for the Participant’s agreement to the terms of the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Obligations, the Company is providing the Participant with the opportunity to participate in this grant of RSUs under the Plan and receive the RSUs evidenced by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a resident of the state of California or the state of Minnesota, the Participant will not be bound by the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Obligations. (c) Violation of Restrictive Covenants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant breaches the Confidentiality Agreement or, if applicable, any of the Non-Competition and Non- Solicitation Obligations, (i) the Participant shall forfeit all RSUs and related dividend equivalents evidenced by this Agreement, effective on the date on which the Participant first breached such agreement or obligation(s) and (ii) if such breach occurs within 1 year following (A) the last Vesting Date or (B) to the extent Section 3(b) applies, the applicable settlement date, all shares of Stock issued or transferred to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall be returned by the Participant to the Company within 30 days after the Company has provided notice to the Participant of such breach and, if such shares of Stock have been sold by the Participant, an amount equal to the proceeds from such sale (determined without regard to any taxes paid) shall become due and payable by the Participant to the Company within 30 days after the Company has provided notice to the Participant of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the Participant obligations described in clause (i) and (ii) at any time if deemed to be in the best interests of the Company. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that it would be inequitable for the Participant to benefit from the RSUs should the Participant breach the Confidentiality Agreement or, if applicable, any of the Non- Competition and Non-Solicitation Obligations. (d) Remedies; Government Investigations; DTSA. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 18 are in addition to and are not intended to limit any other rights or remedies the Company may have available to it, both during and at any time after the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, including, without limitation, any rights or remedies the Company may have under the Confidentiality Agreement or other similar agreements.

Furthermore, the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, the DTSA provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

9 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules.
