OMEROS MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.




STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT




     1. Grant of Option. Omeros Medical Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation (the
“Company”), hereby grants to Pamela Pierce-Palmer, M.D., Ph.D. (“Optionee”), an
option (the “Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the
“Shares”) set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”), at the
exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the
terms, definitions and provisions of this Agreement. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the attached Appendix.



     2. Designation of Option. This Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.



     3. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in the Notice and with the provisions of Section 10 of
this Agreement as follows:



          (a) Right to Exercise.




               (i) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.



               (ii) In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment, the
exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 5 and 6 below, subject to the limitations
contained in this Section 3.



               (iii) In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set
forth in the Notice.



          (b) Method of Exercise.




               (i) This Option shall be exercisable by execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice and
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, or any other form of
written notice approved for such purpose by the Company which shall state Optionee’s election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and
such other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such
Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Such
written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company by such means as
are determined by the Company in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery. The written
notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price.



               (ii) As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set forth in Section 10 of
this Agreement, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal,



 









 







state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the vesting or exercise of the Option, or
disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.



               (iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or
deliver any Shares upon exercise of the Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with
the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal
counsel. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the
method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of
Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a
condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any
representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming
such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on
the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.



     4. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following,
or a combination of the following, at the election of Optionee:



          (a) cash or check;




          (b) prior to the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, by
surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company that have an aggregate Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised. In the case of shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, such shares
must have been owned by Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such
other period of time as is necessary to avoid the Company’s incurring adverse accounting charges);
or




          (c) following the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock is a Listed Security, delivery of
a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by
the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale required to pay the exercise
price.




     5. Termination of Relationship. Following the date of termination of Optionee’s
Continuous Service Status for any reason (the “Termination Date”), Optionee may exercise
the Option only as set forth in the Notice and this Section 5. To the extent that Optionee is not
entitled to exercise this Option as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this
Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth
below, the Option shall terminate in its entirety. In no event may any Option be exercised after
the Expiration Date as set forth in the Notice.



          (a) Termination. In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status
other than as a result of Optionee’s disability or death, Optionee may, to the extent otherwise so
entitled at the date of such termination, exercise this Option during the Termination Period set
forth in the Notice.




-2-









 








          (b) Other Terminations. In connection with any termination other than a termination
covered by Section 5(a), Optionee may exercise the Option only as described below:




               (i) Termination upon Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of
Optionee’s Continuous Service Status as a result of Optionee’s disability, Optionee may, but only
within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date, exercise this Option to the extent Optionee
was entitled to exercise it as of such Termination Date.



               (ii) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee (a) during the term of
this Option and while an Employee or Consultant of the Company and having been in Continuous
Service Status since the date of grant of the Option, or (b) within thirty (30) days after
Optionee’s Termination Date, the Option may be exercised at any time within six (6) months
following the date of death by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Option as of the Termination Date.



          (c) Buyout Provisions. The Company may at any time offer to buy out the Option for a
payment in cash or Shares based on such terms and conditions as the Company shall establish and
communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.




     6. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by him or her. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.



     7. Tax Consequences. Below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of
certain of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares
under the laws in effect as of the Date of Grant. THIS SUMMARY IS INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.



          Since this Option does not qualify as an incentive stock option under the Code, there may be a
regular federal (and state) income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be
treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise
Price. If Optionee is an Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s
compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal
to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise. If Shares issued upon
exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option are held for at least one year, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax
purposes.




     8. Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s
securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering
of the Company’s securities, Optionee hereby agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan,
grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of



-3-









 







the Company however
and whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written
consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to
exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or
such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested
by the underwriters at the time of the public offering.



     9. Effect of Agreement. Optionee represents that he or she is familiar with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the
Option terms), and hereby accepts this Option and agrees to be bound by its contractual terms as
set forth herein. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions
and interpretations of the Company regarding any questions relating to the Option.



     10. Taxes.



          (a) As a condition of the exercise of this Option, the Optionee (or in the case of the
Optionee’s death, the person exercising the Option) shall make such arrangements as the Company may
require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax
obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option and the issuance of
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under this Agreement until such
obligations are satisfied. If the Company allows the withholding or surrender of Shares to satisfy
an Optionee’s tax withholding obligations under this Section 10 (whether pursuant to Section 10(c),
(d) or (e), or otherwise), the Company shall not allow Shares to be withheld in an amount that
exceeds the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including
payroll taxes.




          (b) In the case of an Employee and in the absence of any other arrangement, the Employee shall
be deemed to have directed the Company to withhold or collect from his or her compensation an
amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable
after the date of an exercise of the Option.




          (c) This Section 10(c) shall apply only after the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock
becomes a Listed Security. In the case of an Optionee other than an Employee (or in the case of an
Employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with
respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the
extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Optionee shall be deemed to have elected to have
the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the
amount required to be withheld. For purposes of this Section 10, the Fair Market Value of the
Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to
be determined under the Applicable Laws (the “Tax Date”).




          (d) If permitted in writing by the Company, in its sole discretion, Optionee may satisfy his
or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of an Option by surrendering to the Company Shares
that have a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount required
to be withheld. In the case of shares previously acquired from the



-4-









 






Company that are surrendered
under this Section 10(d), such Shares must have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6)
months on the date of surrender (or such other period of time as is required for the Company to
avoid adverse accounting charges).




          (e) Any election or deemed election by an Optionee to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax
withholding obligations under Section 10(c) or (d) above shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares as to which the election is made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the
Company. Any election by an Optionee under Section 10(d) above must be made on or prior to the
applicable Tax Date.




          (f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by an Optionee and the Tax Date
is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the
Code, the Optionee shall receive the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised but such Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the
proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.




     11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other Transactions.



          (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of
the Company, the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option, as well as the price per
Share of Common Stock covered by the Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock
split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or
any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of
consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Company, and its determination in that
respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance
by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of Shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.




          (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless
otherwise determined by the Company, in it sole discretion.




          (c) Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding
Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation (the “Successor
Corporation”), unless the Successor Corporation does not agree to assume the award or to
substitute an equivalent option or right, in which case such Option shall terminate upon the
consummation of the transaction.




          For purposes of this Section 11(c), an Option shall be considered assumed, without limitation,
if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate



-5-









 






Transaction each holder of an Option would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the award the same number and
kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been,
immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered
by the award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered
by the Option as provided for in this Section 11); provided that if such consideration received in
the transaction is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Company may, with the
consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of
the award to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation equal to the Fair Market Value of
the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.




          (d) Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company’s
shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in
cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company may, in
its sole discretion, appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution.




     12. Amendment of Option. In addition to any changes or adjustments that may be made
pursuant to Section 11 above, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have the authority to make the
following determinations with respect to, and amendments to, the Option without the consent of
Optionee: (a) waiver of any restriction applicable to the Option or the Optioned Stock; (b)
settlement in cash of the Option; (c) reduction in the exercise price of the Option to the Fair
Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date of such reduction in price; and (d) any
other amendment or adjustment that does not materially and adversely affect Optionee’s rights
hereunder.



     13. Miscellaneous.



          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.




          (b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all
prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver
of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to
this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not
be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.




          (c) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good
faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement
for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.




-6-









 








          (d) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been
reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be
construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.




          (e) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or sent by telegram or fax or forty-eight
(48) hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage
prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth below or as
subsequently modified by written notice.




          (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.




          (g) Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and
obligations of Optionee under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of
the Company.




          (h) Accredited Investor. The Optionee is an accredited investor as defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

EXHIBIT A




OMEROS MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.

     This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of                     , by and between Omeros
Medical Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), and Pamela Pierce-Palmer,
M.D., Ph.D. (“Purchaser”). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are
not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Option Agreement (as defined
below).



     1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby
elects to exercise his or her option to purchase                      shares of the Common Stock (the
“Shares”) of the Company under and pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement dated December
11, 2001, (the “Option Agreement”). The purchase price for the Shares shall be $0.265 per

Shares and all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or splits,
all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization,
exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to
which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.



     2. Time and Place of Exercise. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this
Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Option
Agreement. On such date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the

the exercise price therefor by Purchaser by (a) check made payable to the Company, (b) cancellation
of indebtedness of the Company to Purchaser, (c) delivery of shares of the Common Stock of the
Company in accordance with Section 4(b) of the Option Agreement, or (d) a combination of the

by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in
the Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and applicable securities laws.



          (a) Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Purchaser or any transferee of
Purchaser (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or
otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its
assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 3(a) (the “Right of First Refusal”).




               (i) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the
Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to
sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other
transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each



 









 







Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the terms and conditions of each proposed sale or transfer. The
Holder shall offer the Shares at the same price (the “Offered Price”) and upon the same
terms (or terms as similar as reasonably possible) to the Company or its assignee(s).



               (ii) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the
Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to
any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with
subsection (iii) below.



               (iii) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares
purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 3(a) shall be the Offered Price. If
the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash
consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.



               (iv) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the
Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any
outstanding indebtedness, or by any combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice
or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.



               (v) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be
transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s)
as provided in this Section 3(a), then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to
that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or
other transfer is consummated within 60 days after the date of the Notice and provided further that
any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and
the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 3 shall continue to
apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the
Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, or if the Holder proposes
to change the price or other terms to make them more favorable to the Proposed Transferee, a new
Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered
the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise
transferred.



               (vi) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 3(a) notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Purchaser’s
lifetime or on Purchaser’s death by will or intestacy to Purchaser’s Immediate Family or a trust
for the benefit of Purchaser’s Immediate Family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section
3(a). “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or
antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient
shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section, and
there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3.

          (b) Involuntary Transfer.




               (i) Company’s Right to Purchase upon Involuntary Transfer. In the event, at any time
after the date of this Agreement, of any transfer by operation of law or other involuntary transfer
(including death or divorce, but excluding a transfer to Immediate Family as set forth in Section
3(a)(vi) above) of all or a portion of the Shares by the record holder thereof, the Company shall
have an option to purchase all of the Shares transferred at the greater of the purchase price paid
by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or the fair market value of the Shares on the date of
transfer. Upon such a transfer, the person acquiring the Shares shall promptly notify the
Secretary of the Company of such transfer. The right to purchase such Shares shall be provided to
the Company for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice by
the person acquiring the Shares.



               (ii) Price for Involuntary Transfer. With respect to any stock to be transferred
pursuant to Section 3(b)(i), the price per Share shall be a price set by the Board of Directors of
the Company that will reflect the current value of the stock in terms of present earnings and
future prospects of the Company. The Company shall notify Purchaser or his or her executor of the
price so determined within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of written notice of the transfer
or proposed transfer of Shares. However, if the Purchaser does not agree with the valuation as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Purchaser shall be entitled to have the
valuation determined by an independent appraiser to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the
Purchaser and whose fees shall be borne equally by the Company and the Purchaser.



          (c) Assignment. The right of the Company to purchase any part of the Shares may be
assigned in whole or in part to any shareholder or shareholders of the Company or other persons or
organizations.




          (d) Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest
therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Any sale or transfer of the Company’s Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement
are satisfied.




          (e) Termination of Rights. The right of first refusal granted the Company by
Section 3(a) above and the option to repurchase the Shares in the event of an involuntary transfer
granted the Company by Section 3(b) above shall terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock of
the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). Upon termination of the right of first refusal described in
Section 3(b) above, a new certificate or certificates representing the Shares not repurchased shall
be issued, on written request, without the legend referred to in Section 6(a)(ii) herein and
delivered to Purchaser.




     4. Investment and Taxation Representations. In connection with the purchase of the
Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:



-3-









 





          (a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision
to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing these securities for investment for his or her own
account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law. Purchaser
does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any person or entity.




          (b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.




          (c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held
indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register the securities. Purchaser understands that the certificate(s)
evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the
securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of
counsel for the Company.




          (d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rules 144 and 701, each promulgated under the
Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities”
acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such
issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Purchaser
understands that the Company provides no assurances as to whether he or she will be able to resell
any or all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701, which rules require, among other things,
that the Company be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of the Shares has held the
Shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, that resales of
securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions.
Notwithstanding this paragraph (d), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions set forth
in paragraph (e) below.




          (e) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of
Rule 144 or 701 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with
Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the
fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in
a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden
of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales,
and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at
their own risk.




          (f) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of
Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has
consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in



-4-









 






connection with the purchase or
disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.




          (g) Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933.




     5. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.



          (a) Legends. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the
following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and
securities laws):





	 	(i)	 	THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION
THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER,
A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.





          (b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with
the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions
to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.




          (c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay
dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.




     6. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner
whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to
terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.



-5-









 





     7. Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s
securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering
of the Company’s securities, Purchaser agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company however or
whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent
of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180
days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such
managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by
the underwriters at the time of the public offering.



     8. Miscellaneous.



          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.




          (b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all
prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver
of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to
this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not
be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.




          (c) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good
faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement
for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.




          (d) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been
reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be
construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.




          (e) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or sent by telegram or fax or forty-eight
(48) hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage
prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth below or as
subsequently modified by written notice.




          (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

          (g) Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and
obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent
of the Company.
