 APPENDIX A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE SHARES 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the
Employee under the Plan an award of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. The number of Performance Shares that may vest and the timing of
vesting of the Performance Shares shall depend upon achievement of certain performance goals during the Performance Period and shall be determined in accordance with the Performance Matrix. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Unless and until the Performance
Shares have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4, the Employee will have no right to payment of such Performance Shares. Prior to actual payment of any vested Performance Shares, such Performance Shares will represent an
unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Performance Shares shall be made in whole shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) only. 
 3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraph 4, and subject to paragraph 6, the Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting
provisions set forth in the Performance Matrix. Performance Shares shall not vest in the Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee shall have been continuously employed by the Company or by one of its
Subsidiaries from the Grant Date until the date the Performance Shares vest in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Performance Matrix. 
 4. Acceleration of Vesting; Committee Discretion. In the event Employee is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in that certain Executive Severance Agreement dated June 25, 2007, between the Company
and the Employee, the “Severance Agreement”) or upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Severance Agreement), then any then-unvested Performance Shares will vest according to the greater of the following two formulas:

  

	 	(a)	A time-based proration over 24 months, based on the number of calendar days, beginning on October 1, 2008 and ending on the date of termination, multiplied by the number of
Performance Shares; or 

  

	 	(b)	The number of Performance Shares that would vest according to the vesting schedule attached as Appendix B to this letter, but substituting a 20 day trailing average closing price
(including any dividends paid during the term of the Performance Period) as of one day prior to the date of the Employee’s termination. 

 In addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so
accelerated, such Performance Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Severance Agreement,
the provisions of this Agreement will govern. 







 5. Payment after Vesting. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 or
4 will be paid to the Employee as soon as practicable following the date of vesting but in no event later than 30 days after the date of vesting. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee will receive one Share. 
 6. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Performance Shares that have not vested pursuant to
paragraphs 3 or 4 at the time of the Employee’s termination of service (with or without cause), and Performance Shares that have not vested by October 1, 2010, will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the
Company at no cost to the Company. 
 7. Death of Employee. Any distribution of Shares that vested during Employee’s lifetime
which is to be made to the Employee under this Agreement after the Employee is deceased shall be made to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. 
 8. Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Performance Shares, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value
sufficient to pay federal, state, local and foreign income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole
discretion, permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded
up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless satisfactory
arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the
maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that
the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the Performance Shares award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the
Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 8. 
 9. Rights as Shareholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of
a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer
agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to
voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 







 10. No Effect on Employment. Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the terms of
such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby
expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of
this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in service (including an interruption during military service) authorized or acknowledged by the
Company or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a termination of service for the purposes of this Agreement. 
 11. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel, at 1195 NW Compton Drive, Beaverton, OR
97006-1992, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 12. Grant is Not Transferable. This grant
of Performance Shares and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution,
attachment or similar process, until the Employee has been issued Shares in payment of the Performance Shares. Upon any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred
hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. 
 13. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested Performance Shares under this Agreement will be registered under

insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other
qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem
necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal governmental

(the “Committee”) will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules
(including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Performance Shares have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee,
the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
