of the Company with, consolidation of the Company into, or the acquisition of
the Company by, another corporation, or a sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation or any
other person or entity, a tender or exchange offer for Shares made by any
corporation, person or entity (other than the Company), or other
reorganization, as a result of which the Company is not likely to continue as
an independent, publicly-owned corporation. Such authorized action may include
(but shall not be limited to) establishing, amending or waiving the type,
terms, conditions, or duration of, or restrictions on, Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights and Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or
additional times for exercise, payments or settlement or lifting of
restrictions, differing methods for calculating payments or settlements and
other modifications, and the Committee may take such actions by adopting rules

          3.1.1 Types of Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Options
to Participants either alone or wholly or partially in connection with Stock
Appreciation Rights, for such number of Shares and at such Option Price, and
exercisable in such installments over such periods of time and subject to such
vesting provisions, as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall
designate each Option issued hereunder as an “Incentive Stock Option” or a
“Non-Qualified Stock Option.” The aggregate Fair Market Value on the Grant Date
of Share with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable by the
Participant for the first time in any calendar year shall not exceed the amount
provided for in Section 422 of the Code.

          3.1.2 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant
Stock Appreciation Rights, either alone or wholly or partly in conjunction with
Stock Options, for such numbers of Shares and at such Option Prices as the
Committee shall determine. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive Shares having value equivalent to 50% of
the difference per Share between the Window Period Fair Market Value, or the
Fair Market Value, whichever is applicable, and the Option Price, multiplied by
the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and
cash equivalent to 50% of the difference per Share between the applicable
Window Period Fair Market Value or Fair Market Value and the Option Price,
multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised, provided that the Committee shall have the sole discretion to
determine in any case or cases such other form in which payment will be made,
i.e. all cash, all Shares, or any combination thereof If the Holder is to
receive Shares upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the number of
Shares so determined is not a whole number, such number shall be reduced to the
next lower number and there shall be paid to the Holder in cash an amount equal
to the product of multiplying the remaining fractional share by the applicable
Fair Market Value of one share on the exercise date.

     3.1.3 Exercise/Sell Election. Holders of Stock Options not granted in
conjunction with Stock Appreciation Rights shall have, at each time of exercise
of such an Option, the right to elect to exercise such Option by causing a cash
payment of the Option Price to be made to the Company and simultaneously having
such number of such Shares, as is determined by the Secretary of the Company,
sold through a Company-designated registered broker in an open market
transaction without cost of sale to the Holder, such “exercise/sell election”
to be effected in accordance with procedures and documentation established by
the Secretary of the Company. The Holder of such Exercise/Sell election shall
have the right to elect either to either: (A) have the number of Shares to be
sold approximate the number of Shares that upon sale on the exercise date would
be required to yield cash proceeds equivalent to the sum of (i) the total
Option Price for the Shares as to which the option is exercised and (ii) 50% of
the difference between (x) the

8

 

total Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the Shares as to which the
option is exercised; and (y) the total Option Price for the Shares as to which
the option is exercised; or (B) have the number of Shares sold be the number of
shares as to which the option is exercised. The Holder of the Stock Option with
the Exercise/Sell Election electing under (A) above shall be entitled to
receive (i) the proceeds of sale of the Shares to be sold remaining after
payment to the Company of the Option Price and the applicable tax withholding;
and (ii) the number of Shares remaining after the sale of Shares as provided
above. The Holder of the Stock Option with the Exercise/Sell Election electing
under (B) above shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of the
Shares to be sold remaining after payment to the Company of the Option Price
and the applicable tax withholding.

     3.2 Option Price. The Option Price of the Shares subject to any Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee, but
shall in no instance be less than the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.

     3.3 Maximum Annual Award of Shares. The maximum number of shares that may
be awarded to any participant in any year as Stock Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights is 200,000, except that in one year up to 400,000 shares
may be awarded to a Participant after such Participant becomes Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.

     3.4 Vesting; Exercise Upon Termination of Employment

          3.4.1 Initial Vesting Period. Each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation
Right shall become initially exercisable only after one year (or such longer
period as may be determined by the Committee) of continuous employment of the
Holder by the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries after the Grant Date,
provided, that if the Holder shall die prior to completion of such year of
continuous employment, each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right held by

such Holder may nevertheless be exercised in accordance with this Section 3.

          3.4.2 Term of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 3, each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right
shall by its terms expire at such time as the Committee may determine in
granting it, but not later than ten years from the date the Option or Right is
granted.

          3.4.3 Exercise by Personal Representative. Any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right exercisable at the time of death of the Holder may be
exercised by the personal representative of the Holder entitled thereto at any
time or from time to time within two years after the date of death, but in no
event later than ten years (or such shorter period as determined under Section
3.3.2) from the Grant Date.

          3.4.4 Exercises of Options and Rights. Each Stock Option and Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable by the Holder from time to time for the
full amount or for any part thereof, but no such Option or Right shall be
exercised in part more frequently than once in any period of ten business days.

          3.4.5 Post-Termination Exercises. In case of termination of employment of
the Holder other than by reason of death, any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right of the Holder shall be exercisable only: (i) within three
years if the termination of the Holder’s employment is coincident with
Retirement or Early Retirement or is as a result of position

9

 

elimination, or (it) within three months after the date the Holder ceases
to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary if termination of the Holder’s
employment is for any reason other than Retirement, Early Retirement or
position elimination, but in no event later than ten years (or such shorter
period determined under Section 3.3.2) from the Grant Date. Neither transfer of
employment between or among the Company and Subsidiaries, or a leave of absence
approved in accordance with Company procedures, shall be considered termination
of employment.

     3.5 Payment for Shares

          3.5.1 Form of Payment. Upon exercise of a Stock Option not involving
exercise of a related Stock Appreciation Right, in whole or in part, the Option
Price for Shares to which the exercise relates shall be paid in cash or, unless
otherwise designated by the Committee at the time the Stock Option is granted,
paid for with Shares (in the manner designated by the Secretary of the Company)
valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date, and no Shares shall be
issued until such payment in full has been made. The Holder shall have none of
the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to a Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right unless and until the Shares are issued to the Holder.

     3.6 Acquired Company Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the Committee may grant Stock Options and/or Stock Appreciation
Rights under this Plan in substitution for stock options and/or stock
appreciation rights issued under other plans, or assume under this Plan stock
options and/or stock appreciation rights issued under other plans, if the other
plans are or were plans of other corporations (“acquired corporations”) (or the
parent of the acquired corporation) and the new Option or Right is substituted,
or the old option or right is assumed, by reason of a corporate merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or of stock, reorganization or
liquidation (the “Acquisition Transaction”) within the meaning of Section
424(a) of the Code and provided that the requirements of Code Sections
424(a)(1) and (2) are complied with. In the event that a written agreement
pursuant to which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is approved by the
Board of Directors and said Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of
the substitution for or assumption of outstanding stock options of the acquired
corporation, said terms and conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the
Committee hereunder without any further action by the Committee and the persons
holding such stock option or stock appreciation right shall be deemed to be
Participants and Holders.

ARTICLE IV. STOCK AWARDS

4. Stock Awards

          4.1 Committee Authority. The Committee is authorized to make awards of
Shares of the Company subject to Performance Measures established by the
Committee, in writing, no later than the first 90 days of the period in which

set forth in an agreement or agreements between the Company and the recipient

have the power to determine shall include the manner in which Shares subject to
Restricted Stock Awards are held during the periods they are subject to
restrictions and the circumstances under which forfeiture of Restricted Stock
Share Awards and Shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards shall occur by
reason of termination of employment of the Holder.

10

 

          4.2 Issuance of Shares. Upon the satisfaction of the terms, conditions and
restrictions prescribed in respect to a Restricted Stock Award, or upon the
Holder’s release from the terms, conditions and restrictions of a Restricted
Stock Award, as determined by the Committee, the Company shall deliver, as soon
as practicable, to the Holder, or in the case of the Holder’s death, to the
personal representative of the Holder or as the appropriate court directs, a
stock certificate for the appropriate number of Shares.

          4.3 Waiver of Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period

the date of the Award), and subject to such terms and conditions (including
forfeiture of the Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

ARTICLE V. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

payment of Awards, which may be in cash, shares, Options, Rights or Awards or
any combination of cash, Shares, Options, Rights and Awards. The Committee may
not adjust performance goals and performance periods established for any Award
if such adjustment would increase the amount of the Award.

     5.2 Payout Upon Termination. In the event a Holder’s employment by the
Company or a Subsidiary terminates during the performance period of a
Performance Share Award, payout shall be as follows:

		
	 	     (a) If the termination of employment is the result of discharge for
cause or resignation, or Early Retirement prior to age 62 at the request
of the Holder, the Award shall be forfeited in full.

		
	 	     (b) If the termination is the result of Retirement, death,
Disability, position elimination, or Early Retirement at the request of

performance period and prorated for service during the performance
period.

11

 

     5.3 Maximum Amount of Performance Share Awards. The maximum amount that
may be paid to any Participant in any year with respect to Performance Share

ARTICLE VI. GENERAL

Company may from time to time amend, modify, or otherwise alter the Plan or any
provision thereof, or discontinue or terminate the Plan; but no amendment or
discontinuance of the Plan shall, without the written consent of the Holder,
adversely affect the Holder’s Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Award.

     6.2 Continued Employment; Rights in Options and Awards Neither the Plan,
participation in the Plan as a Participant, or any action of the Committee

Company or a Subsidiary or limit the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to
terminate the employment of the Participant or employee.

     6.3 Other Compensation Plans. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
anything contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
adopting or continuing other or additional compensation arrangements, or
discontinuing or terminating such arrangements, and such other arrangements may
be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     6.4 Certificates for Shares; Registration. The Company shall be under no

Securities Act of 1933, or register or qualify under state securities laws, any
Shares, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by
the Plan. The Company may issue certificates for Shares with such legends and

counsel for the Company deem necessary or desirable for compliance by the
Company with federal and state securities laws.

Award shall entitle the Holder to any dividend, voting or other right of a

restrictions.

     6.6 No Assignment or Transfer of Interests. No Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or Award shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by
the Holder except as provided for herein in the case of death of the Holder. If
a Holder makes an assignment or transfer in violation of this Section, any
obligation of the Company with respect to such Option, Right or Award shall
thereupon terminate.

     6.7 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Plan is intended to satisfy
the conditions of Rule 16b-3, as amended from time to time, as promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended from time to time, and all interpretations of the Plan shall
to the extent permitted by law, regulations and rulings, be made in a manner
consistent with and so as to satisfy the conditions of Rule 166-3.
Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any
Stock Option granted as

12

 

an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall to the extent
permitted by law, be construed as an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

     6.8 Withholding of Taxes. The Company may require the Holder to pay to
the Company the amount of any withholding taxes which the Company is required
to withhold with respect to the grant, exercise, payment or settlement of any
Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Award. In such instances, the
Committee may, in its discretion and subject to the Plan and applicable law,
permit the Holder to satisfy withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by
paying cash or by electing to have the Company withhold Shares, or to transfer
Shares to the Company, in such amounts as are equivalent to the Fair Market
Value of the withholding obligation.

     6.9 No Trust or Fund. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded”
plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any
monies or other property, or Shares, or to create any trusts, or to make any
special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any
Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than
those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

     6.10 Governing Law. The Plan and all interpretations of its provisions
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington and applicable Federal
laws.

     6.11 Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the
Plan or any Option, Right or Award under any law deemed applicable by the
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in
the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan
or the Option, Right or Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, person or Option, Right or Award, and the remainder of the Plan
and any such Option, Right or award shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE I. GENERAL

     1.1 Name of Plan. The name of the plan set forth herein is the
“Weyerhaeuser Company 1998 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan,” herein
called the “Plan.”

     1.2 Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are to enhance the long-term
profitability and shareholder value of Weyerhaeuser Company by offering
stock-based incentives to those employees of the Company and Subsidiaries who
are key to the growth and success of Weyerhaeuser, to attract and retain
executives with experience and ability on a basis competitive with industry
practices, and to motivate executives to focus on strategies that will increase
stock price over time.

     1.3 Effective Date. The effective date of the Plan is the date on which it
is approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual meeting of
shareholders on April 21, 1998 or any adjournment thereof. The Plan shall have
no fixed expiration date.

     1.4 Number of Shares

           1.4.1 Authorized Number of Shares. The number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan shall not exceed twenty million (20,000,000). Shares issued
pursuant to the Plan will be authorized and unissued Shares which may include
Shares which from time to time have been reacquired by the Company.

           1.4.2 Reuse of Shares. To the extent that (a) any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right expires, or is terminated, canceled or surrendered, without
being exercised; (b) Shares are not issued upon exercise of any Stock
Appreciation Right; (c) the underlying Shares are not issued because the Award
is forfeited, terminated, surrendered or canceled; or (d) Shares are not issued
pursuant to any Performance Share Award, then Shares underlying or subject to
such Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Award shall again be available
for issuance in connection with future grants of Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights and Awards under the Plan.

           1.4.3 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that at any time or from time to
time a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or
other change in capitalization of the Company, or a sale by the Company of all
or part of its assets, or any distribution to shareholders other than a cash
dividend, results in (a) the outstanding Shares, or any securities exchanged
therefor or received in
their place being exchanged for a different number or class of securities
of the Company or of any other corporation, or (b) new, different or additional
securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the
holders of Shares of the Company, then:

1

 

	 	 	 	(i)  the limitation to 20,000,000 Shares set forth in Section
1.4.1 of Article I;
	 
	 	 	 	(ii)  the number and class of Shares that may be made subject to
Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Awards;
	 
	 	 	 	(iii)  the Option Price of unexercised Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights; and
	 
	 		 	(iv)  Share values or prices used for calculation purposes

shall in each case be equitably adjusted as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion.

     1.5 Administration

           1.5.1 Administration and Interpretation by the Committee. The Plan shall
be administered by the Committee. The Board shall consider in selecting members
of the Committee, the provisions regarding (a) “outside directors” as
contemplated by Section 162(m) of the Code and (b) “nonemployee directors” as
contemplated by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Committee shall have
exclusive authority to designate the employees of the Company and Subsidiaries
who are eligible to participate in the Plan as Participants. The Committee
shall also have exclusive authority to interpret the Plan and may from time to
time adopt, and change, rules and regulations of general application for the
administration of the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to the
manner of exercise and settlement of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights, issuance and custody of Restricted Stock and the manner of settlement
of Performance Share Awards. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan and its
rules and regulations, and all actions taken and determinations made by the
Committee pursuant to the Plan, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties
involved or affected.

           1.5.2 Delegation. The Board or the Committee may delegate the
responsibility for administering the Plan with respect to designated classes of
eligible Participants to a different committee or committees appointed by the
Board consisting of two or more members of the Board, subject to such
limitations as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee may
delegate administrative duties to such of the officers of the Company as it so
determines.

           1.5.3 Jurisdictions Outside the United States. The Committee shall have

ARTICLE III. STOCK OPTIONS; STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

3.1 Types of Stock Options

           3.1.1 Types of Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Options
to Participants either alone or wholly or partially in connection with Stock
Appreciation Rights, for such number of Shares and at such Option Price, and
exercisable in such installments over such periods of time and subject to such
vesting provisions, as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall
designate each Option issued hereunder as an “Incentive Stock Option” or a
“Non-Qualified Stock Option.” To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the Grant Date) of Common Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar
year (under the Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company) exceeds
$100,000, such portion in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified
Stock Option. In the event the participant holds two or more such Options that
become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, such
limitation shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are
granted.

           3.1.2 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant
Stock Appreciation Rights, either alone or wholly or partly in conjunction with
Stock Options, for such numbers of Shares and at such Option Prices as the
Committee shall determine. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive cash equivalent to the difference per
Share between the fair market value and the Option Price, multiplied by the
number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised;
provided that for purposes of this Section 3.1.2, the fair market value per
Share shall be the market price at which Shares are trading on the New York
Stock Exchange as of the time the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised; and,
provided further, that the Committee shall have the sole discretion to
determine in any case or cases such other form in which payment will be made to
the Holder, i.e. all cash, all Shares, or any combination thereof. If the
Holder is to receive Shares upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
number of Shares so determined is not a whole number, such number shall be
reduced to the next lower number and there shall be paid to the Holder in cash
an amount equal to the product of multiplying the remaining fractional share by
the fair market value, as determined pursuant to the prior sentence, of one
share on the exercise date.

           3.1.3 Exercise/Sell Election. Holders of Stock Options not granted in
conjunction with Stock Appreciation Rights shall have, at each time of exercise
of such an Option, the right to elect to exercise such Option by causing a cash
payment of the Option Price to be made to the Company and simultaneously having
such number of such Shares sold through a Company-designated registered broker
in an open market transaction , such “exercise/sell election” to be effected in
accordance with procedures and
documentation established by the Secretary of the Company. The Holder of
such Exercise/Sell election shall have the right to elect either to: (A) have
the number of Shares to be sold approximate the number of Shares that upon sale
on the exercise date would be required to yield cash proceeds equivalent to the
sum of (i) the total Option Price for the Shares as to which the option is
exercised and (ii) the applicable tax withhholding due upon exercise of the
Option; or (B) have the number of Shares sold be the

6

 

number of shares as to
which the option is exercised. The Holder of the Stock Option with the
Exercise/Sell Election electing under (A) above shall be entitled to receive
(i) the proceeds of sale of the Shares to be sold remaining after payment to
the Company of the Option Price and the applicable tax withholding; and (ii)
the number of Shares remaining after the sale of Shares as provided above. The
Holder of the Stock Option with the Exercise/Sell Election electing under (B)
above shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of the Shares to be
sold remaining after payment to the Company of the Option Price and the
applicable tax withholding.

           3.1.4 Exercise/Hold Election Holders of Stock Options not granted in
conjunction with Stock Appreciation Rights shall have, at each time of exercise
of such an Option, the right to elect to exercise such Option by causing a cash
payment of the Option Price plus any applicable tax withholding due upon the
exercise of the Option to be made to the Company. For purposes of determining
the amount to be paid to the Company under this Section 3.1.4 for applicable
tax withholding, the value of the Shares obtained upon exercise shall be deemed
to be the Fair Market Value per Share on the trading day immediately prior to
the exercise date.

     3.2 Option Price. The Option Price of the Shares subject to any Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee, but
shall in no instance be less than the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.

     3.3 Maximum Annual Award of Shares. The maximum number of shares that may
be awarded to any Participant in any year as Stock Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights is 200,000, except that in one year up to 400,000 shares
may be awarded to a Participant after such Participant becomes Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.

     3.4 Vesting; Exercise Upon Termination of Employment

           3.4.1 Initial Vesting Period. Each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation
Right shall become initially exercisable after such period as may be determined
by the Committee.

           3.4.2 Term of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 3, each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right
shall by its terms expire at such time as the Committee may determine in
granting it, but not later than ten years from the date the Option or Right is
granted.

           3.4.3 Exercise by Personal Representative. Any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right exercisable at the time of death of the Holder may be
exercised by the personal representative of the Holder entitled thereto at any
time or from time to time within two years after the date of death, but in no
event later than ten years (or such shorter period as determined under Section
3.4.2) from the Grant Date.

           3.4.4 Post-Termination Exercises. In case of termination of employment of
the Holder other than by reason of death, any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right of the Holder shall be exercisable after the date the Holder
ceases to be an employee of the Company or

7

 

a Subsidiary only: (i) within three
years if the termination of the Holder’s employment is as a result of position
elimination or Disability, or (ii) within five years if the termination of the
Holder’s employment is coincident with Early Retirement or Disability
Retirement, or (iii) within the remaining term established by the Committee in
granting the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right if the termination of the
Holder’s employment is coincident with Retirement, or (iv) within three months
if termination of the Holder’s employment is for any reason other than position
elimination, Disability, Early Retirement or Retirement, but in no event shall
the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable under this Section
3.4.4 later than ten years (or such shorter period determined under Section
3.4.2) from the Grant Date. Neither transfer of employment between or among
the Company and Subsidiaries, or a leave of absence approved in accordance with
Company procedures, shall be considered termination of employment.

     3.5 Payment for Shares

           3.5.1 Form of Payment. Upon exercise of a Stock Option not involving
exercise of a related Stock Appreciation Right, in whole or in part, the Option
Price for Shares to which the exercise relates shall be paid in cash (including
payment in accordance with Section 3.1.3 and 3.1.4) or, unless otherwise
designated by the Committee at the time the Stock Option is granted, paid for
with Shares already owned by the Holder for at least six months (or any shorter
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial
reporting purposes) in the manner designated by the Secretary of the Company,
valued at their Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately preceding the
exercise date. Such payment may be made by tendering by attestation Shares
already owned by the Holder that on the day immediately prior to the exercise
date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the
Shares being purchased under the Option. No Shares shall be issued until such
payment in full of cash or previously owned Shares has been made. The Holder
shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares subject
to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right unless and until the Shares are
issued to the Holder.

     3.6 Acquired Company Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the Committee may grant Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights
and/or Awards under this Plan in substitution for equity or equity-based awards
issued under other plans, or assume under this Plan equity or equity-based
awards issued under other plans, if the other plans are or were plans of
other corporations (“acquired corporations”) (or the parent of the acquired
corporation) and the new Option, Right or Award is substituted, or the old
award is assumed, by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition
of property or of stock, reorganization or liquidation (the “Acquisition
Transaction”) within the meaning of Section 424(a) of the Code and provided
that the requirements of Code Sections 424(a)(1) and (2) are complied with in
connection with options designated as incentive stock options intended to
qualify under Section 422 of the Code. In the event that a written agreement
pursuant to which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is approved by the
Board of Directors and said Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of
the substitution for or assumption of outstanding equity or equity-based awards
of the acquired corporation, said terms and conditions shall be deemed to be
the action of the Committee hereunder without any further action by the
Committee and the persons holding

8

 

such awards shall be deemed to be
Participants and Holders; provided that the Committee may take any further
action with respect to such awards as may be necessary in connection with
Section 162(m) of the Code or Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE IV. STOCK AWARDS

     4.1 Committee Authority. The Committee is authorized to make awards of
Shares of the Company subject to Performance Measures established by the
Committee, in writing, no later than the first 90 days of the period in which
the Performance Measure shall apply; provided, however, that the maximum number
of shares that may be awarded as stock awards is 1,000,000 shares. Performance
periods shall not be shorter than one year. Other terms, conditions and
restrictions of such awards shall be set forth in an agreement or agreements
between the Company and the recipient of the Award. The terms, conditions and
restrictions which the Committee shall have the power to determine shall
include the manner in which Shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards are held
during the periods they are subject to restrictions and the circumstances under
which forfeiture of Restricted Stock Share Awards and Shares subject to
Restricted Stock Awards shall occur by reason of termination of employment of
the Holder.

     4.2 Issuance of Shares. Upon the satisfaction of the terms, conditions and
restrictions prescribed in respect to a Restricted Stock Award, or upon the
Holder’s release from the terms, conditions and restrictions of a Restricted
Stock Award, as determined by the Committee, the Company shall deliver, as soon
as practicable, to the Holder, or in the case of the Holder’s death, to the
personal representative of the Holder or as the appropriate court directs, a
stock certificate for the appropriate number of Shares.

     4.3 Waiver of Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period
and any other terms, conditions or restrictions of any Stock Award under
circumstances (including the death, Disability, Retirement or Early Retirement
of the Holder, or material change in the Holder’s circumstances arising after
the date of the Award),
and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of the
Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

     4.4 Maximum Annual Stock Awards. The maximum number of shares that may be
awarded to any participant each year as Stock Awards is 50,000, except that one
award of up to 100,000 shares may be made to a Participant after such
Participant becomes the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

ARTICLE V. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

     5.1 Performance Share Awards Authority. The Committee is authorized to
grant Performance Share Awards to Participants using Performance Measures
established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the first 90 days of
the period in which the Performance Measure shall apply. In addition, the
Committee is authorized to determine: (a) the length of

9

 

performance periods
except that no performance period may be shorter than one year, (b) the amount
and frequency of grants of Performance Share Awards, both independently and in
relation to grants of Stock Options and other Awards, and (c) the form of
payment of Awards, which may be in cash, shares, Options, Rights or Awards or
any combination of cash, Shares, Options, Rights and Awards. The Committee may
not adjust performance goals and performance periods established for any Award
if such adjustment would increase the amount of the Award.

     5.2 Payout Upon Termination. In the event a Holder’s employment by the
Company or a Subsidiary terminates during the performance period of a
Performance Share Award, payout shall be as follows:

	 	 	 	(a)  If the termination of employment is the result of discharge for
cause or resignation, or Early Retirement prior to age 62 at the
request of the Holder, the Award shall be forfeited in full.
	 
	 	 	 	(b)  If the termination is the result of Retirement, death,
Disability, position elimination, or Early Retirement at the request
of the Company, payout shall be made at the end of the applicable
performance period and prorated for service during the performance
period.

     5.3 Maximum Amount of Performance Share Awards. The maximum amount that
may be paid to any Participant in any year with respect to Performance Share
Awards is $2,000,000.

ARTICLE VI. GENERAL

     6.1 Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board or the Committee may from
time to time discontinue or terminate the Plan and may from time to time amend,
modify, or otherwise alter
the Plan or any provision thereof without shareholder approval, except as
may be required to comply with the federal securities laws, the listing
requirements of a national securities exchange or the Internal Revenue Code;
provided, however, that no amendment may be made without shareholder approval
if such amendment would decrease the Option Price set by the Committee upon
grant of the Option, except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 1.4.3. No
amendment or discontinuance of the Plan shall, without the written consent of
the Holder adversely affect the Holder’s Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right
or Award.

     6.2 Continued Employment; Rights in Options and Awards. Neither the Plan,
participation in the Plan as a Participant, or any action of the Committee
taken under the Plan shall be construed as giving any Participant or employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary any right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or a Subsidiary or limit the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to
terminate the employment of the Participant or employee. In addition, neither
the Plan, participation in the Plan as a Participant, or any action of the
Committee taken under the Plan shall be construed as giving the Participant or
employee of the Company or a Subsidiary any right to continued rights to
options or awards under the plan.

10

 

     6.3 Other Compensation Plans. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
anything contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
adopting or continuing other or additional compensation arrangements, or
discontinuing or terminating such arrangements, and such other arrangements may
be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     6.4 Certificates for Shares; Registration. The Company shall be under no
obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale under the
Securities Act of 1933, or register or qualify under state securities laws, any
Shares, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by
the Plan. The Company may issue certificates for Shares with such legends and
subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop transfer instructions as
counsel for the Company deem necessary or desirable for compliance by the
Company with federal and state securities laws.

     6.5 No Rights as Shareholder. No Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or
Award shall entitle the Holder to any dividend, voting or other right of a
shareholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the Shares
that are the subject of the Option, Right or Award, free of all applicable
restrictions.

     6.6 No Assignment or Transfer of Interests. No Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or Award shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by
the Holder except as provided for herein in the case of death of the Holder. If
a Holder makes an assignment or transfer in violation of this Section, any
obligation of the Company with respect to such Option, Right or Award shall
thereupon terminate.

     6.7 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. In interpreting and applying the
provisions of the Plan, any Stock Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option
pursuant to the Plan shall to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an
“incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

     6.8 Withholding of Taxes. The Company may require the Holder to pay to the
Company the amount of any withholding taxes which the Company is required to
withhold with respect to the grant, exercise, payment or settlement of any
Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Award. In such instances, the
Committee may, in its discretion and subject to the Plan and applicable law,
permit the Holder to satisfy withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by
paying cash or by electing to have the Company withhold Shares, or to transfer
Shares to the Company, in such amounts as are equivalent to the Fair Market
Value of the withholding obligation.

     6.9 No Trust or Fund. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded”
plan. Nothing contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any
monies or other property, or Shares, or to create any trusts, or to make any
special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any
Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than
those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

11

 

     6.10 Governing Law. The Plan and all interpretations of its provisions
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington and applicable Federal
laws.

     6.11 Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would disqualify the
Plan or any Option, Right or Award under any law deemed applicable by the
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in
the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan
or the Option, Right or Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, person or Option, Right or Award, and the remainder of the Plan
and any such Option, Right or award shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE VII      CHANGE IN CONTROL

     7.1 Treatment of Outstanding Awards. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under the applicable laws, or
by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges:

	 	 	 	(i)  Any and all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become
immediately exercisable, and shall remain exercisable throughout
their entire term;
	 
	 	 	 	(ii)  Any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted
Stock Awards which are not performance-based shall lapse;
	 
	 	 	 	(iii)  The target payout opportunities attainable under all
outstanding Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned for
the entire performance period(s) as of the effective date of the
Change in Control. The vesting of all Awards denominated in Shares
shall be accelerated as of the effective date of the Change in
Control, and there shall be paid out in cash to Participants within
thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Change in
Control a pro rata number of shares based upon an assumed
achievement of all relevant targeted performance goals and upon the
length of time within the performance period which has elapsed
prior to the Change in Control; provided, however, that there shall
not be an accelerated cash payout with respect to Awards which
qualify as “derivative securities” under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act which were granted less than six (6) months prior to the
effective date of the Change in Control.

     7.2 Termination, Amendment, and Modification of Change-in-Control
Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan (but subject to
the limitations of Section 6.1 hereof) or any award agreement provision, the
provisions of this Article 7 may not be terminated, amended, or modified on or
after the date of a Change in Control to affect adversely any Award theretofore
granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant
with respect to said Participant’s outstanding Awards; provided, however, the
Committee, may

12

 

terminate, amend, or modify this Article 7 at any time and from
time to time prior to the date of a Change in Control.

7.3 Pooling of Interests Accounting. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the consummation of a Change in
Control is contingent on using pooling of interests accounting methodology, the
Committee may take any action necessary to preserve the use of pooling of
interests accounting.
