instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall vest and become exercisable
according to the following schedule, which may be waived or modified by the Plan
Administrator at any time:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
        PERIOD OF PARTICIPANT'S CONTINUOUS
      EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY       PERCENT OF TOTAL
       OR ITS RELATED CORPORATIONS FROM THE      OPTION THAT IS VESTED
                OPTION GRANT DATE                   AND EXERCISABLE
      --------------------------------------     ---------------------
<S>                                              <C>
                   After 1 year                            25%
                   After 2 years                           50%
                   After 3 years                           75%
                   After 4 years                          100%
</TABLE>

      The Plan Administrator may adjust the vesting schedule of an Option held
by a Participant who works less than "full-time" as that term is defined by the
Plan Administrator.

      To the extent that an Option has vested and become exercisable, the Option
may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the Company of a written stock
option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance with procedures
established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number of shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions imposed on the
shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such representations
and agreements as may be required by the Plan Administrator, accompanied by
payment in full as described in Section 6.5. An Option may not be exercised for
less than 100 shares at any one time (or the lesser number of remaining shares
covered by the Option).


                                      -5-
<PAGE>
6.5   PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE

      The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in
full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the
Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration
must be paid in cash or by check or, unless the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion determines otherwise, either at the time the Option is granted or at
any time before it is exercised, in any combination of

            (a)   cash or check;

            (b)   tendering (either actually or, if and so long as the Common
Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, by
attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant for at
least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a charge to the
Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes) having a Fair Market Value
on the day prior to the exercise date equal to the aggregate Option exercise
price;

            (c)   if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under Section
12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed exercise
notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to (i) a brokerage firm
designated by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate
amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any
withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise and
(ii) the Company to deliver the certificates for such purchased shares directly
to such brokerage firm, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal
Reserve Board; or

            (d)   such other consideration as the Plan Administrator may permit.

      In addition, to assist a Participant (including a Participant who is an
officer of the Company) in acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to an
Option granted under the Plan, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may authorize, either at the Grant Date or at any time before the acquisition of
Common Stock pursuant to the Option, (i) the payment by a Participant of a
full-recourse promissory note, (ii) the payment by the Participant of the
purchase price, if any, of the Common Stock in installments, or (iii) the
guarantee by the Company of a full-recourse loan obtained by the Participant
from a third party. Subject to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall in
its sole discretion specify the terms of any loans, installment payments or loan
guarantees, including the interest rate and terms of and security for repayment.

6.6   POST-TERMINATION EXERCISES

      The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument
that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable,
and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if a Participant ceases to be
employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or its Related Corporations,
which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any
time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option
shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may
be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time:


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
            (a)   Any portion of an Option that is not vested and exercisable on
the date of termination of the Participant's employment or service relationship
(the "TERMINATION DATE") shall expire on such date.

            (b)   Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on the
Termination Date shall expire upon the earliest to occur of

                  (i)   the last day of the Option Term;

                  (ii)  if the Participant's Termination Date occurs for reasons
other than Disability, Retirement, Cause or death, the three-month anniversary
of such Termination Date;

                  (iii) if the Participant's Termination Date occurs by reason
of Disability, Retirement or death, the one-year anniversary of such Termination
Date.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies after the
Termination Date while the Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the
Option that is vested and exercisable on such Termination Date shall expire upon
the earlier to occur of (y) the last day of the Option Term and (z) the first
anniversary of the date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines
otherwise.

      Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the
Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, the Option shall
automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such
termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a
Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended
pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for
Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option likewise shall be suspended
during the period of investigation.

      A Participant's transfer of employment or service relationship between or
among the Company and its Related Corporations, or a change in status from an
employee to a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor, shall not be
considered a termination of employment or service relationship for purposes of
this Section 6. The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the terms
and conditions of an Option shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in
its sole discretion.

6.7   SETTLEMENT OF OPTIONS

      The Company may settle Options through the delivery of shares of Common
Stock, cash payments, the granting of replacement Options or any combination
thereof as the Plan Administrator shall determine. Any Option settlement,
including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator
may permit or require the deferral of any Option payment, subject to such rules
and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment
or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such
credits into deferred stock equivalents. The Plan Administrator may at any time
offer to buy out, for a payment in cash or Common Stock, an Option previously
granted based on such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall
establish and communicate to the Participant at the time such offer is made.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
                             SECTION 7. WITHHOLDING

      The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount
of any withholding taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect
to the grant, vesting or exercise of any Option. Subject to the Plan and
applicable law, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the
Participant to satisfy withholding obligations, in whole or in part, (a) by
paying cash, (b) by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock
(up to the minimum required federal tax withholding rate) or (c) by transferring
to the Company shares of Common Stock (already owned by the Participant for the
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial
reporting purposes), in such amounts as are equivalent to the Fair Market Value
of the withholding obligation. The Company shall have the right to withhold from
any Option or any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Option or from
any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the
Participant an amount equal to such taxes. The Company may also deduct from any
Option any other amounts due from the Participant to the Company or a Related
Corporation.

                            SECTION 8. ASSIGNABILITY

      Options granted under the Plan and any interest therein may not be
assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant and may not be made subject
to attachment or similar proceedings otherwise than by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such
Options may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit such assignment,
transfer and exercisability and may permit a Participant to designate a
beneficiary who may exercise the Option or receive compensation under the Option
after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Option so assigned or
transferred shall be subject to all the same terms and conditions contained in
the instrument evidencing the Option.

                             SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENTS

9.1   ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES

      In the event that, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend,
stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash
dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure
results in (a) the outstanding shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or
received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or class of
securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or
additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received
by the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company, then the Plan
Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in the number and kind of
securities that are subject to any outstanding Option and the per share price of
such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor.
The determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the
foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a Corporate
Transaction shall not be governed by this Section 9.1 but shall be governed by
Sections 9.2 and 9.3, respectively.


                                      -8-
<PAGE>
9.2   DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION

      In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Plan Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Plan Administrator
in its discretion may permit a Participant to exercise an Option until ten days
prior to such transaction with respect to all vested and exercisable shares of
Common Stock covered thereby and with respect to such number of unvested shares
as the Plan Administrator shall determine. In addition, the Plan Administrator
may provide that any forfeiture provision or Company repurchase option
applicable to any Option shall lapse as to such number of shares as the Plan
Administrator shall determine, contingent upon the occurrence of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the
extent an Option has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate
automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action.

9.3   CORPORATE TRANSACTION

      In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding Option shall be
assumed or continued or an equivalent option or right substituted by the
surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its parent corporation, as
applicable (the "Successor Corporation"). In the event that the Successor
Corporation refuses to assume, continue or substitute for the Option, the
Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to
all of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, including shares as to which
the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option will
become fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a Corporate Transaction, the Plan Administrator shall notify the
Participant in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested
and exercisable for a specified time period after the date of such notice, and
the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period, in each case
conditioned on the consummation of the Corporate Transaction. For the purposes
of this Section 9.3, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the
Corporate Transaction, the option or right confers the right to purchase or
receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option, immediately prior
to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of
Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and
if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the Corporate Transaction is not
solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Plan Administrator may,
with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock
subject thereto, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation equal in
fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common
Stock in the Corporate Transaction. All Options shall terminate and cease to
remain outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation. Any such
Options that are assumed or replaced in the Corporate Transaction and do not
otherwise accelerate at that time shall be accelerated in the event the
Participant's employment or services should subsequently terminate within two
years following such Corporate Transaction, unless such employment or services
are terminated by the Successor Corporation for Cause or by the Participant
voluntarily without Good Reason.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>
9.4   FURTHER ADJUSTMENT OF OPTIONS

      Subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.3, the Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, liquidation or change in control of the Company, as defined by
the Plan Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be
necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to the Participants, with respect
to Options. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to)
establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or
restrictions on, Options so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or
additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and
the Plan Administrator may take such actions with respect to all Participants,
to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The
Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Options to
which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with
respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or
change in control that is the reason for such action.

9.5   LIMITATIONS

      The grant of Options shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or
to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets.

9.6   FRACTIONAL SHARES

      In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any
Option, each such Option shall cover only the number of full shares resulting
from such adjustment.

                  SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

10.1  AMENDMENT OF PLAN

      The Plan may be amended only by the Board in such respects as it shall
deem advisable.

10.2  TERMINATION OF PLAN

      The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. The Plan shall
have no fixed expiration date.

10.3  CONSENT OF PARTICIPANT

      The amendment or termination of the Plan or the amendment of an
outstanding Option shall not, without the Participant's consent, impair or
diminish any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted to the

                               SECTION 11. GENERAL

11.1  EVIDENCE OF OPTIONS

      Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument
that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the
Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the
Plan.

11.2  NO INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

      Nothing in the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed
to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other
relationship with, the Company or any Related Corporation or limit in any way
the right of the Company or any Related Corporation to terminate a Participant's
employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

11.3  REGISTRATION

      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no
obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make
any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such issuance, delivery
or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without
limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable
requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

      The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register
for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or
to register or qualify under state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock,
security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the
Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.

      To the extent that the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Option
provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of
Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock
exchange.

11.4  NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER

      No Option shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or
other right of a shareholder unless and until the date of issuance under the
Plan of the shares that are the subject of such Option.

11.5  NO TRUST OR FUND

      The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing contained
herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or
shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits
for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no
Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general
unsecured creditor of the Company.

11.6  SEVERABILITY

      If any provision of the Plan or any Option is determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Option under any law deemed applicable by the Plan
Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in
the Plan Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Option, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
person or Option, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Option shall remain
in full force and effect.

11.7  CHOICE OF LAW

      The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to
the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Washington without giving effect to

                           SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE

      The Effective Date of the Plan is May 15, 2002.
