failure of this Option to qualify, in whole or in part, as an incentive stock option.

|March       |  | 17,                   |  | 2010 |  | 30%              



Under certain circumstances, the number of Shares indicated in the foregoing vesting schedule may be adjusted and the vesting dates may be accelerated in accordance with terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.2Effect of Retirement of Optionee. Notwithstanding any vesting schedule set
forth above, upon Retirement of the Optionee, this Option shall become, as of the effective date of Retirement, immediately exercisable as to all shares. For purposes of this Option, "Retirement" means voluntary termination of employment by the
Optionee who has attained the age of 65 at such termination.

2.3Effect of Unpaid Leaves of Absence. If at any time during the term of this
Option, the Optionee is on unpaid leave from the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option may not be exercised during such unpaid leave and the dates contained in the foregoing vesting schedule shall be extended by the length of such unpaid leave.

2.4Expiration and Termination of Option. This Option will expire upon the close
of business on the Expiration Date and may terminate earlier upon certain events as set forth in Section 4 of this Option. To the extent that this Option has not been exercised prior to the Expiration Date or any earlier termination, all further
rights to purchase shares pursuant to this Option will cease and terminate at such time.

3.  
Option Exercise Procedures.

3.1Who may Exercise the Option. Only the Optionee (or, in the case of exercise after death
of the Optionee, by the executor, administrator, heir, or legatee of the Optionee, as the case may be) may exercise this Option.

3.2Notice of Exercise. A "Notice of Exercise" must be signed and delivered to the
Company's corporate Secretary or such other person as the Company may designate at the Company's principal business office of the Company. A copy of the Company's current form of Notice of Exercise is attached hereto. The Company, however, reserves
the right to revise its form of Notice of Exercise from time-to-time as it determines to be appropriate. If, at the time of the exercise of this Option, the Company does not have an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that covers the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Option, the Notice of Exercise will also contain certain representations from the Optionee as required under applicable state and federal securities laws. A copy of the
then-current form of Notice of Exercise may be obtained at any time from the Company. A notice will only be effective if submitted on the form in effect at the time of such exercise.

3.3Payment of Exercise Price.
The Notice of Exercise must indicate the manner of payment of the Exercise Price
for the number of shares so purchased. Payment shall be made by cash,
full-recourse promissory note, by the surrender to the Company for cancellation
of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (provided that the
surrendered shares of Common Stock or other

-2-

---

securities of the Company shall have been held by the Optionee for not less than six months) or any combination of the foregoing.

3.4Delivery of Shares Following Exercise. The Company will make delivery of the
Option Shares purchased within a reasonable time after it receives the Notice of Exercise and payment in full of the Exercise Price of the Option Shares being purchased. However, if any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with
respect to the issuance of the Option Shares, including, without limitation, actions that may be required for compliance with federal and state securities laws or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Common Stock
is then listed, then the date of delivery of such shares may be extended for the period necessary to take such action. The Optionee shall only become the holder of such shares upon the actual issuance of the stock certificate representing such
shares.

4.Termination of the Option.

4.1Effect of the Death of the Optionee. If the Optionee dies while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, this Option will terminate one year after the date of such death or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled
to exercise this Option on the date of the Optionee's death and only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under this Option may pass by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the
Optionee's domicile at the time of death.

4.2Effect of the Disability of the Optionee. If the Optionee's employment by the
Company terminates as a result of the Optionee becoming Disabled (as defined in the Plan) while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, this Option will terminate one year after the date of such termination of employment or, if sooner, upon
the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of such termination.

4.3Effect of Termination of the Employment of the Optionee for Cause. If the
Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for "cause", as defined in the Plan, this Option will terminate on the effective date of the termination of Optionee's employment and shall no longer be exercisable as to any of
the remaining Option Shares.

4.4Effect of any other Termination of the Employment of the Optionee. If the
Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of this Option, this Option will terminate three (3) months after the date of such termination of
employment or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of such termination. For purposes of this Option, the Optionee's
employment with the Company or any  Subsidiary shall be considered to have terminated if the Optionee for any reason becomes a "part-time" employee as such term is defined in the Company's then existing employment rules or guidelines.

4.5  
Effects of a Change in Control.

4.5.1Definition of Change of Control. For purposes of this Option, a "Change in
Control" shall be deemed to have occurred when any of the following events takes place: (i) any person (including any individual or entity) or persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner of voting shares
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company; (ii) a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company are removed from office by a vote of the shareholders of the Company over the recommendation of the Board of
Directors then serving; (iii) the Company is a party to a plan of merger or plan of exchange and upon consummation of such plan, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction do not own or continue to own at least a majority
of the shares of the surviving company; or (iv) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction outside of the ordinary course of its business.

4.5.2Definition of Unvested Shares. For the purposes of this Section 4.5, the term "Unvested Shares" shall mean that portion of the shares covered
by this Option that have not yet vested in accordance with Section 2.1.

4.5.3Definition of Good Reason. For purposes of this Section 4.5, the term "Good Reason" means (i) failure by the Company or its successor in
interest to maintain the Optionee in the office or position held immediately before the Change in Control; (ii) a reduction in salary; (iii) a significant adverse change in the nature or scope of the authority, power, function, responsibility and
duties associated with the Optionee's position; or (iv) the relocation of Optionee to any location more than 30 miles from the location of the Optionee's employment before the Change in Control.

4.5.4Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the above vesting schedule, in the event of a Change in Control the Unvested Shares shall become
vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control transaction if following the Change in Control the Optionee is not offered the opportunity to continue his employment with the Company or its successor in interest: (i) in the office
or position, or a substantially equivalent office or position, of or with the Company that the Optionee held immediately before the Change in Control; (ii) at the same annual compensation that the Optionee had been receiving immediately before the
Change in Control; and (iii) without a significant adverse change in the nature or scope of the authority, power, function, responsibility and duties associated with the Optionee's position immediately before the Change in Control.

4.5.5Termination of Employment Following Change in Control. Notwithstanding the above vesting schedule, if the Optionee is terminated without cause
or the Optionee terminates for Good Reason within twelve months following a Change in Control, the Unvested Shares shall become vested immediately upon such termination.

5.  
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Optionee.

5.1No Effect on Employment. The Optionee understands and agrees that nothing contained
in this Incentive Stock Option Agreement will be construed to limit or restrict the rights of the Company to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time, with or without cause, to change the duties of the Optionee
or to increase or decrease the Optionee's compensation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Optionee understands and agrees that the vesting of shares under this Option is subject to and is conditioned upon the continued employment of the Optionee
by the Company or a Subsidiary and that such employment can be terminated at any time by the Company or its Subsidiary.

5.2Rights Prior to Exercise of this Option. The Optionee understands and agrees
that the Optionee will have no rights as a shareholder in the Option Shares, including without limitation the right to vote or receive dividends, until the issuance of the shares is reflected in the Company's stock transfer records.

5.3Tax Implications. The Optionee understands that, under federal income tax laws
as they currently exist, the exercise of this Option may result in alternative minimum taxes and that the sale of shares acquired by exercise of this Option either within two (2) years of the Grant Date or within one (1) year of the date on which
this Option is exercised (a "Disqualifying Disposition") will result in ordinary income to the Optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of
such exercise or the amount realized in the Disqualifying Disposition. If the Optionee makes a Disqualifying Disposition, the Optionee will

-4-

immediately notify the Company that such has occurred and will pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state, or local income taxes that the Company may be required to withhold under applicable law.

5.4Underwriter's Lock-up. The Optionee by accepting this Option agrees that
whenever the Company undertakes a firm underwritten public offering of its securities and if requested by the managing underwriter in such offering, the Optionee will enter into an agreement not to sell or dispose of any securities of the Company
owned or controlled by the Optionee provided that such restriction will not extend beyond twelve (12) months from the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such offering.

5.5Disclosures. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and
certain related information and represents that Optionee has fully reviewed the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option and has had opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option. The Optionee represents and
warrants that the Optionee is not relying upon any representations, agreements or understandings of or with the Company except for those set forth in this Option.

6.
Miscellaneous Provisions.

6.1Binding Effect. This Option will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

6.2Notices. All notices to the Optionee or other persons then entitled to
exercise this Option will be delivered at the address contained in the records of the Company or such other address as may be specified in writing by the Optionee or such other person. All notices to the Company will be delivered at its principal
offices.

6.3Governing Law and Interpretation. This Option will be governed by the laws of
the State of Oregon as to all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect, and performance, without giving effect to rules of choice of law. This Option hereby incorporates by reference all of the provisions of
the Plan and will in all respects be interpreted and construed in such manner as to effectuate the intent of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Option and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. All matters of
interpretation of the Plan and this Option, including the applicable terms and conditions and the definitions of the words, will be determined in the sole and final discretion of the Committee or the Company's Board of Directors.

6.4Attorney Fees. If any suit or action is instituted in connection with any
controversy arising out of this Option or the enforcement of any right hereunder, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, in addition to costs, such sums as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees, including fees on any appeal.
