General Provisions:

Form of Payment. The Company expects awards earned under the STIP to be paid in cash, less all required withholdings and deductions, no later than March 15, 2021. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and as approved by the Committee, to change the form of any award earned. If you were not working in an STIP-eligible position with the Company for all of 2020 due to a change of position, you will be eligible to receive a prorated portion of the award earned under the STIP based on actual time spent in an STIP-eligible position.

Termination of Employment. To earn an award under the STIP, you must be employed by the Company for the entire performance period, unless the Committee otherwise determines, or unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between you and the Company. If you are no longer an employee, for whatever reason, on the last date of the performance period, you shall not be deemed to have earned any award under the STIP and shall not receive any award under the STIP, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between you and the Company. If you are no longer employed by the Company for the entire performance period due to death or disability, the Committee may, at its discretion, determine whether you have earned an award. In no event will an award under the STIP be accelerated in the event of termination of employment, except as provided herein.

Program Termination and Amendment. The Committee may amend, modify, terminate or suspend operation of the STIP at any time. Notice of any such changes will be communicated to participants.  

Benefits Not Guaranteed. Neither the establishment of the STIP nor participation in the STIP shall provide any guarantee or other assurance that an award will be payable under the STIP. There is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of employees or participants under the STIP.

Confidentiality. The two financial objectives set forth in Section 1 and 2 above are confidential and by participating in the STIP you explicitly agree to keep those objectives confidential.
 
No Employment Right. Participation in the STIP does not constitute a commitment, guarantee or agreement that the Company will continue to employ you and this STIP shall not be construed or applied as an employment contract or obligation.
 
Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the STIP shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.
 
Severability. The provisions of the STIP are severable. If any provision is determined to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, the provision shall be severed from the STIP to the extent unenforceable. The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
