	In the case of a Stock Option intended to qualify as an ISO, only to the extent consistent with Code Section 422. 




Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance that does not qualify under this subsection shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation.

	(2)
	Provided that such adjustments are consistent with the regulations under Code Section 162(m), the Committee may adjust the performance goals and any evaluation of performance under any Qualifying Performance Criteria to account for changes in law or accounting practices and to make such adjustments the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships during a performance period, including without limitation:













		
	(A)
	Asset write-downs;




		
	(B)

	Events either not directly related to Company operations or not under the reasonable control of Company management.




		
	(3)
	Notwithstanding satisfaction or completion of any Qualifying Performance Criteria, to the extent specified at the time of grant, the number of Shares, Stock Options, SARs, Stock Units or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award on account of satisfaction of such Qualifying Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.  However, such a reduction with respect to one Participant may not result in an increase in the amount payable to another Participant.




		
	(c)
	Dividends.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, no adjustment shall be made in Shares issuable under the Award Agreement on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Common Stock prior to the issuance of Shares under any Award. The Committee shall specify in the Award Agreement whether dividends or dividend equivalent amounts shall be paid to any Participant with respect to the Shares subject to the Award Agreement that have not vested or been issued or that are subject to any restrictions or conditions on the record date for dividends. 




		
	(d)
	Award Agreements.  The Committee shall, subject to applicable law, determine the date an Award is deemed to be granted. The Committee may establish the terms of Award Agreements and related documents and may, but need not, require as a condition to any such agreement’s or document’s effectiveness that such agreement or document be executed by the Participant, including by electronic signature or other electronic indication of acceptance, and that Participant agrees to such further terms and conditions as specified in such agreement or document. The grant of an Award under this Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in this Plan as being applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set forth in the Award Agreement. 




		
	(e)
	Additional Restrictions on Awards.  Either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by a Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation:




		
	(1)
	Restrictions under an insider trading policy;




		
	(2)
	Restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant or Participants; and




		
	(3)
	Restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers. 


  
		
	(f)
	Subsidiary Awards.  In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant who is employed by or a service provider to a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by Nautilus issuing any subject Shares to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine. 













		
	(g)
	Suspension or Termination of Awards Upon Misconduct.  




		
	(1)
	If at any time (including after a notice of exercise has been delivered) the Committee reasonably believes that a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of misconduct as described below, the Committee may suspend the exercise, vesting and settlement, as applicable, of any Award granted to the Participant pending a final determination of whether such an act of misconduct has been committed.  If the Committee determines a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of misconduct, any Award granted to the Participant may, in the discretion of the Committee, be forfeited, in whole or in part.  




		
	(2)
	Any determination by the Committee with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties. For any Participant who is an Executive Officer, the determination of the Committee shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.  




		
	(3)
	For purposes of this subsection, an “act of misconduct” means embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty in the performance of or willful neglect of job duties, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Corporation, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of Corporation rules, material breach of an agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, the unauthorized disclosure of any Corporation trade secret or confidential information, conduct constituting unfair competition, or inducing any customer to breach a contract with the Corporation, or any other conduct resulting in material (as determined by the Committee in its discretion) loss, damage or injury to the Corporation.




12.    ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE COMMON STOCK 
  
		
	(a)
	The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of Nautilus or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges, or other changes in the capital structure or business of Nautilus, or any merger or consolidation of Nautilus or any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, the Shares or other securities of Nautilus or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of Nautilus, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Further, except as expressly provided in the Plan or by the Committee unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that an adjustment is necessary or appropriate and is not inconsistent with applicable law, including Code Sections 409A and 424(h), no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to any and all Awards previously granted or the exercise or purchase price per Share under such Awards because of:




		
	(1)
	The issuance by Nautilus of shares of stock or any class of securities convertible into shares of any class of stock, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of Nautilus convertible into such shares or other securities;




		
	(2)
	The payment of a dividend in property other than Shares; or




		
	(3)
	The occurrence of any similar transaction whether or not for fair value. 


  
		
	(b)
	If the number of outstanding Shares of Nautilus for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar event affecting the capital structure of Nautilus or the number of Shares outstanding, the Committee shall, subject to and consistent with the requirements of applicable law, including Code Sections 409A and 424(h), appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of Shares which are subject to this Plan or subject to any Awards granted under the Plan, including Awards previously granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price. 


  









		
	(c)
	No right to purchase fractional Shares shall result from any adjustment of Stock Options or SARs pursuant to this Section 12. In case of any such adjustment, the Shares subject to the Stock Option or SAR shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. 




		
	(d)
	Any Award Agreement and related documents may include such terms relating to the effect of any merger, reorganization or changes in control affecting Nautilus as the Committee determines in its discretion to be appropriate, to the extent not inconsistent with Code Sections 409A and 424(h).  Subject to any such terms, in the event Nautilus is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by Nautilus (if Nautilus is a surviving corporation), for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in cash.  


  
13.    LISTING OR QUALIFICATION OF COMMON STOCK 
  
In the event that the Board of Directors determines in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares available for issuance under the Plan on any securities exchange or quotation or trading system or other consent or approval under any applicable law or governmental regulation is necessary as a condition to the issuance of such Shares, a Stock Option or SAR may not be exercised, in whole or in part, and a Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit Award, Performance Unit Award, Stock Option or SAR shall not vest unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been unconditionally obtained. 
  
14.    TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 
  
		
	(a)
	The Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, and the Board or the Committee may, to the extent permitted by the Plan, amend any Award Agreement or other document relating to an Award made under this Plan, provided, however, that Nautilus shall submit for shareholder approval any amendment (other than an amendment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Section 12) required to be submitted for shareholder approval by the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading or that otherwise would: 




		
	(1)
	Increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan; 




		
	(2)
	Reduce the price at which Stock Options may be granted below the price provided for in subsection 8(c)(1); 




		
	(3)
	Reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options; 




		
	(4)
	Extend the term of this Plan; 




		
	(5)
	Change the classes of persons eligible to be Participants (as described in Section 4); or 




		
	(6)
	Increase the limits provided for in Section 6. 


  
		
	(b)
	In addition, no such amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant, without such Participant’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that no such consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or alteration if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either:




		
	(1)
	Is required or advisable in order for the Corporation, the Plan or the Award to satisfy or conform to any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard; or




		
	(2)
	Is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated. 




		
	15.
	PARTICIPANTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES




The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and sub-plans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Corporation may operate.











16.    WITHHOLDING 
  
To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any and all taxes, including any withholding tax or payroll tax obligations, that arise with respect to any Award, the issuance of Shares or payment of cash upon exercise or settlement of an Award or any sale of Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such tax obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or shall be satisfied by having the Corporation withhold a portion of the Shares of stock that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or by tendering Shares previously acquired by the Participant. 


17.    GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
		
	(a)
	Employment At Will.  Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Award nor any action by Nautilus, any Subsidiary, the Committee or any Administrator shall be held or construed to confer upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of Nautilus or a Subsidiary.  Nautilus and each Subsidiary expressly reserves the right to discharge, without liability but subject to his or her rights under this Plan, any Participant whenever, in the sole discretion of Nautilus or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, its interest may so require. 




		
	(b)
	Governing Law.  This Plan and any Award Agreements and other documents relating to Awards under the Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington and applicable federal law. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration. Any reference in this Plan, or in an Award Agreement or related document, to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability. 




		
	(c)
	Unfunded Plan.  Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are granted Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Corporation or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. 




18.    NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN 
  
Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Corporation for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units or performance units other than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 


19.    COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS 
  
This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards under the Plan, and the obligation of the Corporation to sell, issue or deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Corporation shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Corporation is unable (or the Committee deems it infeasible) to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan, the Corporation shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.  No Stock Option shall be exercisable and no Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Shares underlying such Stock Option or Award is effective and current or the Corporation has determined that such registration is unnecessary. 
  









20.    LIABILITY OF CORPORATION 
  
The Corporation shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to:


		
	(a)
	The non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Corporation has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and




		
	(b)
	Any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Stock Option or other Award granted under the Plan. 




		
	21.
	DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY




The Committee shall establish such procedures and prescribe such forms as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to receive any amounts payable under an Award in the event of the
