Option. 
 Termination Period: 

This Option will be exercisable for three (3) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, unless
(i) such termination is due to Participant’s death or Disability, in which case this Option will be exercisable for twelve (12) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, or (ii) such termination is by the Company
for Cause, in which case this Option will be exercisable for twenty-four (24) hours after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration
Date as provided above and may be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 14(c) of the Terms and Conditions.

 4. Authority of the Administrator. 

(a) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator
will have the authority, in its discretion: 
 (i) to determine the terms and conditions of any,
and to institute any Exchange Program; 
 (ii) to construe and interpret the terms of the
Agreement and the Option;

Administrator’s or the Board’s roles in connection with the Agreement. 
 (d)
Limitations. 

  
 - 8 -

 (i) Prohibition Against Repricing. Notwithstanding
Section 4(a)(iv), the Administrator may not modify or amend the Option to reduce the exercise price of the Option after it has been granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 14), and neither may the Administrator cancel the
outstanding Option and immediately replace it with any other award with a lower exercise price, unless such action is approved by shareholders prior to such action being taken. 

(ii) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash an
Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator will establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4(d)(ii) to the
contrary, the Administrator shall not be allowed to authorize the buyout of an underwater Option without the prior consent of the Company’s shareholders. 
 5. Exercise of Option. 
 (a) Right to
Exercise. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form
attached as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement. The Exercise Notice will be completed by Participant and
delivered to the Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the
Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price. 

(c) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service
Provider, the Participant may exercise his Option within such period of time as is specified in the Notice of Grant to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will forfeit.
If after termination the Participant does not exercise his Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will forfeit. 

6. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Participant: 
 (a) cash; 

(b) check; 

(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company
in connection with the Agreement; or 

  
 - 9 -

 (d) surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares, provided that accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

 7. Tax Obligations. 

(a) Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate
representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the
Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by reducing the number
of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time of the Option exercise, Participant acknowledges and agrees that
the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 

(b) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an option that vests after
December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)
to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “Discount Option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A Discount Option may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the
exercise of the option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The Discount Option may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest charges to the
Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant in a later
examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant will be solely responsible for
Participant’s costs related to such a determination. 
 8. Rights as Shareholder. Neither
Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will
have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 
 9. Compliance
With Code Section 409A. The Option will be designed and operated in such a manner that it is either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or
deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the 

  
 - 10 -

 
sole discretion of the Administrator. The Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent,
except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that the Option or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Option will be granted, paid, settled or deferred
in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. 

10. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise and except as
required by Applicable Laws, vesting of the Option granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or
(ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. 

11. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO
THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING
SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE
PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S
RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 12. Address for Notices. Any
notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at AVI BioPharma, Inc., 3450 Monte Villa Parkway, Suite 101, Bothell, WA 98021, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in
writing. 
 13. Non-Transferability of Option. 

(a) This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, in no event will the Administrator have the right to determine and implement the terms and conditions of any Award Transfer Program without shareholder approval. 

14. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change of Control. 

  
 - 11 -

 (a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of
Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
made available under the Agreement, will adjust the number, class, and price of Shares covered by the Option. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective
date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 

(c) Change of Control. Subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, in the event of a merger
or Change of Control, the Option will be treated as the Administrator determines without a Participant’s consent, including, without limitation, that (i) the Option will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted,
by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Option will terminate upon
or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change of Control; (iii) the Option will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change of Control, and,
to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger of Change of Control; (iv) (A) the termination of the Option in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any,
equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of the Option or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the
occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of the Option or realization of the Participant’s rights, then the Option may be terminated by the Company
without payment), or (B) the replacement of the Option with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. 

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Option (or portion thereof), the
Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his outstanding Options that are not assumed or substituted for, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In addition, if the Option is
not assumed or substituted for in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be fully vested and exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator
in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period. 
 For the purposes of
this subsection 14(c), the Option will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or Change of
Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction

  
 - 12 -

 
(and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration
received in the merger or Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the
Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change of Control.

 Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary, if a payment under the Agreement is
subject to Section 409A of the Code and if the change of control definition contained in the Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change in control” for purposes of a distribution under Section 409A of the Code, then
any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Section 409A of the Code without triggering any penalties applicable under
Section 409A of the Code. 
 15. Date of Grant. The date of grant of the Option will be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting the Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant. 
 16. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability
of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

17. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that
the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of
Shares to Participant (or his estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company
