 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 THIS SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of June 23, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and
PEREGRINE SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), amends and restates the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of
December 28, 2005, as amended from time to time (the “Original Agreement”), and provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows: 

 

	 	1	ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS 

 Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. 

 

	 	2	LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 

 2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in
accordance with this Agreement. 
 2.1.1 Revolving Advances. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the
Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed hereunder may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein. 

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal
amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable. 
 2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit. 
 (a) As part of the
Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency for Borrower’s account. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount utilized for the issuance of Letters of Credit shall at all times
reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve)
may not exceed the lesser of (A) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), minus (i) the sum of all amounts used for Cash Management Services, and minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount, or (B) the lesser of Revolving
Line or the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount. 

(b) If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date (or the effective date of any termination of this Agreement), there are any
outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest,
fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance
acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any
further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the 

  
 1 

 
issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and
Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto. 
 (c) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings
made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application. 

(d) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made
under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges). 

(e) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a
Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit
Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of
Credit remains outstanding. 
 2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. As part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter
into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement
Date”). FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX
Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the lesser of (A) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), minus (i) the sum of all amounts used for Cash
Management Services, and minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line or
the Borrowing Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), and minus (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of
Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve). The amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of each
outstanding FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reduction Amount”). Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank for any amounts not paid by Borrower in connection with FX Forward Contracts will be treated as Advances under the
Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances. 
 2.1.4 Cash Management Services
Sublimit. Borrower may use the Revolving Line for Bank’s cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash
management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash Management Services”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) minus (i) the Dollar Equivalent
of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and minus (ii) the FX Reduction Amount, or (B) the lesser of Revolving Line or the Borrowing
Base, minus (i) the sum of all outstanding principal amounts of any Advances, minus the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit
Reserve), and minus (iii) the FX Reduction Amount. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to
Advances. 
 2.1.5 Equipment Advances. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Draw Period, Bank shall make
advances (each, an “Equipment Advance” and, collectively, “Equipment Advances”) not exceeding the Equipment Line. Equipment Advances may only be used to finance Eligible Equipment purchased

  
 2 

 
within ninety (90) days (determined based upon the applicable invoice date of such Eligible Equipment) before the date of each Equipment Advance; provided however, the initial Equipment
Advance (which must be made no later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date) may be used to finance Eligible Equipment purchased no earlier than March 31, 2009. All Eligible Equipment must have been new when purchased by Borrower,
except for such Eligible Equipment that is disclosed in writing to Bank by Borrower, and that Bank in its sole discretion has agreed to finance, prior to being financed by Bank. No Equipment Advance may exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the
total invoice for Eligible Equipment (excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expenses relating to such Eligible Equipment except to the extent such are allowed to be financed pursuant hereto as Other
Equipment). Unless otherwise agreed to by Bank, not more than twenty percent (20%) of the proceeds of the Equipment Line shall be used to finance Other Equipment. Each Equipment Advance must be in an amount equal to the lesser of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000) or the amount that has not yet been drawn under the Equipment Line. After repayment, no Equipment Advance may be reborrowed. 

(b) Repayment. Each Equipment Advance shall immediately amortize and be payable in thirty six
(36) equal payments of principal and interest beginning on the first (1st) day of the month following the making of such Equipment Advance and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and
interest on each Equipment Advance shall be due on the applicable Equipment Maturity Date. 
 (c) Prepayment
Upon an Event of Loss. Borrower shall bear the risk of any loss, theft, destruction, or damage of or to the Financed Equipment. If, during the term of this Agreement, any item of Financed Equipment becomes obsolete or is lost, stolen, destroyed,
damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit for use, or seized by a governmental authority for any reason for a period equal to at least the remainder of the term of this Agreement (an “Event of Loss”), then, if no Event of
Default has occurred or is continuing, within ten (10) days following such Event of Loss, at Borrower’s option, Borrower shall (i) pay to Bank on account of the Obligations all accrued interest to the date of the prepayment, plus all
outstanding principal owing with respect to the Financed Equipment subject to the Event of Loss; or (ii) repair or replace any Financed Equipment subject to an Event of Loss provided the repaired or replaced Financed Equipment is of equal or
like value to the Financed Equipment subject to an Event of Loss and, provided, further, that Bank shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such repaired or replaced Financed Equipment. 

2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any
amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reduction Amount exceeds the
lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess. 
 2.3
Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions. 
 (a) Interest Rates. 

(i) Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall
accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the lesser of one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate or seven and one half percent (7.50%), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.3(f)
below. 
 (ii) Equipment Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding for
each Equipment Advance shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to five and three quarters percent (5.75%) which interest shall be payable monthly. 

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations
shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Bank otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to
impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the
highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased 

  
 3 

 
interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any
rights or remedies of Bank. 
 (c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit
Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change. 
 (d) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if
any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 (e) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated
Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off. 
 (f) Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the first (1st) calendar day of each month. 

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank: 

(a) Revolving Line Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of (i) Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($20,000) on the Effective Date and (ii) Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) on each anniversary thereof; 
 (b) Equipment Line Loan Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable loan fee of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) on the Effective Date, 

(c) Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit,
upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon the renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank; and 

(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and
negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due. 
 2.5 Payments; Application of
Payments. 
 (a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be
made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the
opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. 

(b) Bank shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Revolving Line or credit such collected funds
to a depository account of Borrower with Bank (or an account maintained by an Affiliate of Bank), the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of Bank. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to
which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

	 	4	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST 

 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank,
the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. 

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein
is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a
commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 If this Agreement is terminated,
Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit
Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. 
 4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or
protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. 

 

	 	5	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
 5.1 Due Organization,
Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which
the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this
Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the
Perfection Certificate and on the signature page 

  
 6 

 
hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well
as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or
any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that
Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but
later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number. 
 The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational
documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any
Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval (if any) from,
any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect, or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in
default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which
it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate
delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

 The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the
Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. 

All Financed Equipment is new, except for such Financed Equipment that has been disclosed in writing to Bank by Borrower as
“used” and that Bank, in its sole discretion, has agreed to finance. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. 

Borrower is the sole owner of the material Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive
licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection
Certificate. Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to
Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the
extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 
 Except as
noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License. 
 5.3
Accounts Receivable; Inventory. For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts are and shall
be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. Whether or not an Event of Default

  
 7 

 
has occurred and is continuing, Bank may notify any Account Debtor owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account. All sales
and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency
Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible
Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 For any item of Inventory consisting of “Eligible Inventory” in any Borrowing Base Certificate, such Inventory (a) consists of raw materials or finished goods, in good, new, and salable
condition, which is not perishable, returned, consigned, obsolete, not sellable, damaged, or defective, and is not comprised of demonstrative or custom inventory, works in progress, packaging or shipping materials, or supplies; (b) meets all
applicable governmental standards; (c) has been manufactured in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act; (d) is not subject to any Liens, except the first priority Liens granted or in favor of Bank under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; and (e) is located at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof. 
 5.4
Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). 
 5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial
statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material
deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank. 
 5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably
small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. 
 5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the
Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each
term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of
Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any
hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary
to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted. 
 5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own
any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 
 5.9 Tax Returns and
Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may
defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the
commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is
other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in 

  
 8 

 
additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their
terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any
liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 
 5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital, to purchase Eligible Equipment, and to fund its general business requirements and
not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. 
 5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation,
warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given
to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts

 8.2 Covenant Default. 

(a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 or 6.11 or violates any

and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period). Cure periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other
things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in clause (a) above; 
 8.3 Intentionally Omitted.

 8.6 Other Agreements. There is, under any agreement to which
Borrower is a party with a third party or parties, any default resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Bank
receiving written notice from the party asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (a) Bank has not declared an Event of Default
under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (b) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and (c) in connection with any such
cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith judgment of Bank be materially less advantageous to Borrower;

of such Governmental Approval (if any) or that could result in the Governmental Authority taking any of the actions described in clause (a) above, and such decision or such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal
(i) has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Change, or (ii) adversely affects the legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold such Governmental Approval (if any) in any applicable
jurisdiction and such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non-renewal could reasonably be expected to affect the status of or legal qualifications of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to hold any Governmental Approval (if any) in
any other jurisdiction. 
  

	 	9	BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

 9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following: 

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs
all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank); 

  
 15 

 (b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; 
 (c) demand that Borrower
(i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in
connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and
Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit; 

(d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts; 

(e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank
considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account; 
 (f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests
and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior
to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies; 

(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank
owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; 
 (h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s
exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; 
 (i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement
or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 
 (j) demand and receive possession of
Borrower’s Books; and 
 (k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or
at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:
(a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and
claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge,
encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as
the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an
Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation 

  
 16 

 
to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable
until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates. 

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any
premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is
obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default. 

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may
apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall
determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters
into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the
reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor. 
 9.5 Bank’s Liability for
Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or
destruction of the Collateral. 
 9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times,
to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other
remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 

9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

	 	11	CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE 

 California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara
County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the
Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it
may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the
summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or
subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in
the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. 
 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE
THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 
 WITHOUT
INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies
of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in
accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County,
California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1,
inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such
proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that
point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before
a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial
proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may 

  
 18 

 
enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the
power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any
party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

  

	 	12	GENERAL PROVISIONS

party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to
Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of,
following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 
 12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this
Agreement. 
 12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other
provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Bank provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to
such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both Bank and Borrower. 
 12.6 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document,

nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific
circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent
the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents
merge into the Loan Documents. 
 12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. 
 12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations

shall have run.

remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential
information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third
party if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. 
 Bank Entities may use the
confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly
permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 12.10 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled

 Exhibit 10.1 

 

 

 A NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT (hereinafter the “Option”) for the number of shares of Nordstrom Common Stock
(“Common Stock”), as noted in the 2011 Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the “Notice”), of Nordstrom, Inc., a Washington Corporation (the “Company”), is hereby granted to the Recipient (“Optionee”) on
the date set forth in the Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Option is also subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Nordstrom, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and approved by the Company’s shareholders, which is incorporated in this Agreement. To the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Terms not defined
herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) has the discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and this Agreement. All decisions of the
Compensation Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties. The Option is subject to the following terms and conditions: 

 

	1.	OPTION PRICE 

 The option price
is one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of Common Stock as determined by the closing price of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. For this purpose, the date of grant is indicated in the Notice and
reflects either the date the Compensation Committee approves the grant, or if this date falls within a closed trading period, the first trading day thereafter that falls within an open trading window. 

 

	2.	VESTING AND EXERCISING OF OPTION 

 Except as set forth in Section 5, the Option shall vest and be exercisable pursuant to the terms of the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice. 

 

	 	(a)	Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable (only to the extent vested) by a written notice in a form prescribed by the Company that shall:

  

	 	(i)	state the election to exercise the Option, the number of shares, the total option price, and the name and address of the Optionee; 

 

	 	(ii)	be signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option; and 

  

	 	(iii)	be in writing and delivered to Nordstrom Leadership Benefits (either directly or through a broker). 

The Company has made arrangements with a broker for Option management and exercises. 

 

	 	(b)	Payment upon Exercise. Payment of the option price for any shares with respect to which an Option is being exercised shall be by: 

 

	 	(i)	check or bank wire transfer, or 

  

	 	(ii)	giving an irrevocable direction for a broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Option shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an
amount sufficient to pay the option price and any amount required to be withheld to meet the Company’s minimum statutory withholding requirements, including the employee’s share of payroll taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any,
will be delivered to the Optionee.) 

 The certificate(s) or shares of Common Stock as to which the Option shall
be exercised shall be registered in the name of the person(s) exercising the Option unless another person is specified. An Option hereunder may not at any time be exercised for a fractional number of shares. 

 

	 	(c)	Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or
state securities or other law or valid regulation, or the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make any representation and warranty to the
Company as the Company’s counsel advises and as may be required by the Company or by any applicable law or regulation. 

 

	3.	ACCEPTANCE OF OPTION 

 Although
the Company may or may not require the Optionee’s signature upon accepting the grant, the Optionee remains subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  

	4.	NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION 

The Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner except in the event of the Optionee’s death. In the
event of the Optionee’s death, the Options may be transferred to the person indicated on a valid Nordstrom Beneficiary Designation form, or if no Beneficiary Designation form is on file with the Company, then to the person to whom the
Optionee’s rights have passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as set forth in Section 5 below, the Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal
representative of the Optionee. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee. 
  

	5.	SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

Except as set forth below, a vested Option may only be exercised while the Optionee is an employee of the Company. If an Optionee’s
employment is terminated, the Optionee or his or her legal representative shall have the right to exercise the Option after such termination as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	If the Optionee dies while employed by the Company, the recipient named on the Optionee’s Beneficiary Designation form may exercise such rights. If no Beneficiary
Designation form is on file with the Company, then the person to whom the Optionee’s rights have passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution may exercise such rights. If the Option was granted at least six months prior to the death
of the Optionee while employed by the Company, it shall immediately vest and may be exercised during the period ending four years after the Optionee’s death. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. If
the Option was granted less than six months prior to death, such Option shall be forfeited as of the date of death. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Optionee is separated due to his or her disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
the Option, if granted at least six months prior to such separation and the Optionee provides Nordstrom Leadership Benefits with reasonable documentation of the Optionee’s disability, shall immediately vest and may be exercised during the
period ending four years after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. If the Option was granted less than six months prior to separation due to the Optionee’s disability, such Option shall
be forfeited as of the date of separation. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Optionee is separated due to retirement between the ages of 53 and 57 with 10 continuous years of service to the Company from the most recent hire date, or upon
attaining age 58, the Option, if granted at least six months prior to such retirement, shall continue to vest and may be exercised during the period ending four years after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from
the date of grant. If the Option was granted less than six months prior to retirement, such Option shall be forfeited as of the date of separation. 

  
  

			
	1 | Nonqualified Stock Option Grant Agreement Time-Vested Option	  	

	 	(d)	If the Optionee’s employment is terminated due to his or her embezzlement or theft of Company funds, defraudation of the Company, violation of Company rules,
regulations or policies, or any intentional act that harms the Company, such Option, to the extent not exercised as of the date of termination, shall be forfeited as of that date. 

 

	 	(e)	If the Optionee is separated for any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, the Optionee (or Optionee’s
beneficiary) may exercise his or her Option, to the extent vested as of the date of his or her separation, within 100 days after separation. In no event may the Option be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant. Any unvested options will
be forfeited as of the date of separation. 

 Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if at any time
during the Optionee’s employment or in the period during which the Option is exercisable, the Optionee directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, shareholder, corporate officer, director or
in any other capacity, engages or assists any third party in engaging in any business competitive with the Company; divulges any confidential or proprietary information of the Company to a third party who is not authorized by the Company to receive
the confidential or proprietary information; or improperly uses any confidential or proprietary information of the Company, then the post-separation vesting and exercise rights of the Option set forth above shall cease immediately, and all
outstanding vested and unvested portions of the Option shall be forfeited. 
  

	6.	TERM OF OPTION 

 The Option may
not be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant of the Option, and the vested portion of such Option may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the Option. 

 

	7.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 

 The number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option shall be appropriately adjusted, pursuant to the Plan, along with a corresponding adjustment in the option price to reflect any stock
dividend, stock split, split-up, extraordinary dividend distribution, or any combination or exchange of shares, however accomplished. 
  

	8.	ADDITIONAL OPTIONS 

 The
Compensation Committee may or may not grant the Optionee additional Options in the future. Nothing in this Option or any future grant should be construed as suggesting that additional grants to the Optionee will be forthcoming. 

 

	9.	LEAVES OF ABSENCE 

 For
purposes of the Option, the Optionee’s service does not terminate due to a military leave, a medical leave or another bona fide leave of absence if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of service is
required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But, service terminates when the approved leave ends unless the Optionee immediately returns to active work. 
 If the Optionee goes on a leave of absence approved by the Company, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the
terms of the leave. 
  

	10.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 In the event
that the Company determines that it is required to withhold any tax as a result of the exercise of the Option, the Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of their Option, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy
all withholding requirements. 

 

  

	11.	RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER 

Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s beneficiary or representative shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any
Common Stock subject to the Option, unless and until (i) the Optionee or the Optionee’s beneficiary or representative becomes entitled to receive such Common Stock by filing a notice of exercise and paying the option price pursuant to the
Option, and (ii) the Optionee or Optionee’s beneficiary or representative has satisfied any other requirement imposed by applicable law or the Plan. 
  

	12.	NO RETENTION RIGHTS 

 Nothing
in the Option or in the Plan shall give the Optionee the right to be retained by the Company (or a subsidiary of the Company) as an employee or in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the Optionee’s
service at any time, with or without cause. 
  

	13.	CLAWBACK POLICY 

 The Option,
and any proceeds (Common Stock or cash) received in connection with the exercise of the Option or subsequent sale of such issued Common Stock, shall be subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board, as amended from time to time.

 In the event the Clawback Policy is deemed unenforceable with respect to the Option, or with respect to the proceeds
received in connection with the exercise of the Option or subsequent sale of such issued Common Stock, then the Option grant subject to this Agreement shall be deemed unenforceable due to lack of adequate consideration. 

 

	14.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT 

 The Notice,
this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or
implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof. 
 This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except for a unilateral
amendment by the Company that does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Optionee under this Agreement. No party to this Agreement may unilaterally waive any provision hereof, except in writing. Any such modification, amendment or waiver
signed by, or binding upon, the Optionee, shall be valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities who may, at any time, have or claim any rights under or pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

	15.	CHOICE OF LAW 

 This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. 

 

	16.	SEVERABILITY 

 If any provision
of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other severable provision of this Agreement, and
this Agreement shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein. 
  

	17.	CODE SECTION 409A 

 The Company
reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems reasonable or necessary in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or delivery of Common Stock provided under this
Agreement is made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, together with regulatory guidance issued thereunder.
