those officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Related
Corporations as the Plan Administrator from time to time selects. Awards may also

determine. The Plan Administrator may permit or require the deferral of
any Award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish,

substitution for awards issued under other plans, or assume under the

Plan awards issued under other plans, if the other plans are or were
plans of other acquired entities (“Acquired Entities”) (or the parent or
subsidiary of the Acquired Entity) and the new Award is substituted, or the old
award is assumed, by reason of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property
or stock, reorganization or liquidation (the “Acquisition Transaction”). If a
written agreement pursuant to which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is
approved by the Board and that agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of
the substitution for or assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired
Entity, those terms and conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the Plan
Administrator without any further action by the Plan Administrator, except as may be
required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the
persons holding such awards shall be deemed to be Participants.

waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time:

 

	
  Period of Participant’s
  Continuous

  Employment or Service With the Company

  or Its Related Corporations From the

equal to the product of the Option exercise price and the number of shares
purchased. Such consideration must be paid in cash or by check or, unless the
Plan Administrator in its sole discretion determines otherwise, either at the
time the Option is granted or at any time before it is exercised, in any
combination of

 

(a)                                  cash or check;

owned by the Participant for at least six months (or any shorter period
necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting
purposes) having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the exercise date
equal to the aggregate Option exercise price;

 

(c)                                  if and so long as the

Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan

to deliver the certificates for such purchased shares directly to such
brokerage firm, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve

acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award granted under the

 

7

 

Plan, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may authorize,

pursuant to the Award, (i) the payment by a Participant of a full-recourse
promissory note, (ii) the payment by the Participant of the purchase
price, if any, of the Common Stock in installments, or (iii) the guarantee
by the Company of a full-recourse loan obtained by the Participant from a third

discretion specify the terms of any loans, installment payments or loan

repayment.

 

7.6                               Post-Termination
Exercises

 

The Plan Administrator shall establish and
set forth in each instrument that evidences an Option whether the Option shall
continue to be exercisable, and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if a
Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or
its Related Corporations, which provisions may be waived or modified by
the Plan Administrator at any time. If not so established in the instrument
evidencing the Option, the Option shall be exercisable according to the
following terms and conditions, which may be waived or modified by the
Plan Administrator at any time:

 

(a)                                  Any portion of an
Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of the
Participant’s employment or service relationship (the “Termination Date”) shall
expire on such date.

 

(b)                                 Any portion of an
Option that is vested and exercisable on the Termination Date shall expire upon
the earliest to occur of

 

(i)                                     if
the Participant’s Termination Date occurs for reasons other than Cause, death,
Disability, Early Retirement or Retirement, the three-month anniversary of such
Termination Date;

 

(ii)                                  if
the Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of Retirement or Early
Retirement, the one-year anniversary of such Termination Date;

 

(iii)                               if

Termination Date shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (y) the last
day of the Option Term and (z) the first anniversary of the date of death,
unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.

 

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case
of termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship for
Cause, the Option shall automatically expire at the time the Company first
notifies the Participant of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator
determines otherwise. If a Participant’s employment or service relationship
with the Company is

 

8

 

suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be
terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights under any Option likewise
shall be suspended during the period of investigation, unless the Plan
Administrator determines otherwise. If any facts that would constitute Cause
for termination or removal of a Participant are discovered after the
Participant’s relationship with the Company or its Related Corporation has
ended, any Option then held by the Participant may be immediately
terminated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

 

A Participant’s transfer of employment or service relationship between
or among the Company and its Related Corporations, or a change in status from
an employee to a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor or a
change in status from a consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor to
an employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment or service
relationship for purposes of this Section 7. The effect of a
Company-approved leave of absence on the terms and conditions of an Option
shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

of Disability, or (c) after the Participant has been on leave of absence
for more than 90 days, unless the Participant’s reemployment rights are

Plan, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture
period and any other terms, conditions or restrictions on any Stock Award under
such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan
Administrator shall deem appropriate.

 

SECTION 10. WITHHOLDING

 

The Company may require the Participant
to pay to the Company the amount of any withholding taxes that the Company is
required to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of any
Award. Subject to the Plan and applicable law, the Plan Administrator may, in
its sole discretion, permit the Participant to satisfy withholding obligations,
in whole or in part, (a) by paying cash, (b) by electing to have the
Company withhold shares of Common Stock (up to the employer’s minimum required
tax withholding rate) or (c) by transferring to the Company shares of Common
Stock (already owned by the Participant for the period necessary to avoid a
charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes), in such
amounts as are equivalent to the Fair Market Value of the withholding
obligation. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any Award or any
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Award or from any cash amounts
otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the Participant an amount
equal to such taxes (up to the employer’s minimum required tax withholding
rate). The Company may also deduct from any Award any other amounts due
from the Participant to the Company or a Related Corporation.

 

SECTION 11. ASSIGNABILITY

 

Awards granted under the Plan and any
interest therein may not be assigned, pledged or transferred by the
Participant and may not be made subject to attachment or similar
proceedings otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the Participant’s lifetime, such Awards may be
exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the
extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code with respect to incentive
stock options, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit
such assignment, transfer and exercisability and may permit a Participant
to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Award or receive payment
under the Award after the Participant’s death; provided, however, that

 

11

 

any Award so assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the same
terms and conditions contained in the instrument evidencing the Award.

 

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENTS

 

12.1                        Adjustment
of Shares

 

In the event that, at any time or from time
to time, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of
shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholders
other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Company’s corporate
or capital structure results in (a) the outstanding shares, or any
securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a
different number or kind 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 Common
Stock of the Company, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional
adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to
the Plan and issuable as Incentive Stock Options as set forth in Section 4.1
and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any
outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any
change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the
Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be
conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by
this Section 12.1 but shall be governed by Sections 12.2 and 12.3,
respectively.

 

12.2                        Dissolution
or Liquidation

 

To the extent not previously exercised or
settled, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion, Options and Stock Awards denominated in units shall terminate
immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. To the
extent a forfeiture provision or repurchase right applicable to an Award has
not been waived by the Plan Administrator, the Award shall be forfeited
immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation.

 

12.3                        Corporate
Transaction

 

12.3.1                                                  Options

 

(a)                                  In the event of a
Corporate Transaction as defined in Section 2 in clause (a) or (b),
except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Award, each outstanding
Option shall be assumed or continued or an equivalent option or right
substituted by the surviving corporation, the successor corporation or its
parent corporation, as applicable (the “Successor Corporation”).

 

(b)                                 In the event that the
Successor Corporation refuses to assume, continue or substitute for the Option,
or in the event of a Corporate Transaction as defined in Section 2 in
clause (c), the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise
the Option as to all of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, including
shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In
such case, the Plan Administrator shall notify the

 

12

 

Participant in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully
vested and exercisable for a specified time period after the date of such
notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period, in
each case conditioned on the consummation of the Corporate Transaction.

 

(c)                                  For the purposes of
this Section 12.3, the Option shall be considered assumed, continued or
substituted if, following the Corporate Transaction, the option or right
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject
to the Option, immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received
in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on
the effective date of the transaction (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 Corporate Transaction is not solely common stock of the Successor
Corporation, the Plan Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor
Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of
the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, to be solely common
stock of the Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction.
The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall
be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be conclusive and
binding.

 

(d)                                 All Options shall
terminate and cease to remain outstanding immediately following the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the
Successor Corporation.

 

12.3.2                                                  Stock
Awards

 

In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
except as otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Award, the
vesting of shares subject to Stock Awards shall accelerate, and the forfeiture
provisions to which such shares are subject shall lapse, if and to the same
extent that the vesting of outstanding Options accelerates in connection with
the Corporate Transaction. If unvested Options are to be assumed, continued or
substituted by a Successor Corporation without acceleration upon the occurrence
of a Corporate Transaction, the forfeiture provisions to which such Stock
Awards are subject shall continue with respect to shares of the Successor
Corporation that may be issued in exchange for such shares.

 

12.4                        Further
Adjustment of Awards

 

Subject to Sections 12.1 and 12.2, the
Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable at any time before a
Corporate Transaction or other sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation or change in control of the Company, as defined by the Plan
Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or
advisable, and fair and equitable to the Participants, with respect to Awards.
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, Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for
exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and the Plan
Administrator may

 

13

 

take such actions with respect to all Participants, to certain
categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The Plan
Administrator may take such action before or after granting Awards to
which the action relates and before or after any public announcement with
respect to such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or
change in control that is the reason for such action.

 

12.5                        Limitations

 

The grant of Awards shall in no way affect
the Company’s right to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

12.6                        Fractional
Shares

 

In the event of
any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award, each such Award
shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

 

SECTION 13. REPURCHASE AND FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS

 

13.1                        Repurchase
Rights From Terminated Participants

 

Until the date on which the initial
registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Exchange Act first becomes effective, if a Participant ceases to be
employed by or provide services to the Company, then all shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to an Award (whether issued before or after cessation of
employment or services) shall be subject to repurchase by the Company, at the
Company’s sole discretion, at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date
of such repurchase. The terms and conditions upon which such repurchase right
shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise) shall be
established by the Plan Administrator.

 

13.2                        First
Refusal Rights

 

Until the date on which the initial
registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Exchange Act first becomes effective, the Company shall have the right of
first refusal with respect to any proposed sale or other disposition by the
Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Award granted
under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance
with the terms and conditions established by the Plan Administrator and set
forth in the agreement evidencing such right.

 

13.3                        Restrictions
on Rights

 

Repurchase or first refusal rights under this
Section 13 may not be exercised earlier than six months and one day
following the date the shares were purchased by the Participant, or such time
period necessary to avoid charges to the Company’s earnings for financial
reporting purposes.

 

14

 

SECTION 14. MARKET STANDOFF

 

In connection with any underwritten public
offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective
registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s
initial public offering, a person shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan,
hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose
of or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing
transactions with respect to any shares issued pursuant to an Award granted
under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or its
underwriters. Such limitations shall be in effect for such period of time as may be
requested by the Company or such underwriters and agreed to by the Company’s
officers and directors with respect to their shares; provided, however, that in
no event shall such period exceed 180 days. The limitations of this paragraph
shall in all events terminate two years after the effective date of the Company’s
initial public offering. Holders of shares issued pursuant to an Award granted
under the Plan shall be subject to the market standoff provisions of this
paragraph only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to
similar arrangements.

 

In the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other
change affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock effected as a class without
the Company’s receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional
securities distributed with respect to the purchased shares shall be
immediately subject to the provisions of this Section 14, to the same
extent the purchased shares are at such time covered by such provisions.

 

In order to enforce the limitations of this Section 14,
the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the
purchased shares until the end of the applicable standoff period.

 

SECTION 15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

15.1                        Amendment
of Plan

 

The Plan may be amended only by the
Board in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that to
the extent required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or any
applicable law or regulation, stockholder approval shall be required for any
amendment that would (a) increase the total number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan, (b) modify the class of employees eligible
to receive Options, or (c) otherwise require stockholder approval under
any applicable law or regulation. Any amendment made to the Plan that would
constitute a “modification” to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on the date
of such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be applicable
to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have prospective effect
only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12
shall not be subject to these restrictions.

 

15.2                        Termination
of Plan

 

The Board may suspend or terminate the
Plan at any time. The Plan shall have no fixed expiration date; provided,
however, that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted more than

 

15

 

ten years after the later of (a)  the Plan’s adoption by the
Board and (b) the adoption by the Board of any amendment to the Plan that
constitutes the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 422 of the
Code.

 

15.3                        Consent of
Participant

 

The amendment or termination of the Plan or
the amendment of an outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant’s
consent, impair or diminish any rights or obligations under any Award
theretofore granted to the Participant under the Plan. Any change or adjustment
to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the
Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a “modification” that
would cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made
pursuant to Section 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions.

 

SECTION 16. GENERAL

 

16.1                        Evidence
of Awards

 

Awards granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by a written instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions,
limitations and restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and
that are not inconsistent with the Plan.

 

16.2                        No
Individual Rights

 

Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted
under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer
or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ
of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related
Corporation or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related
Corporation to terminate a Participant’s employment or other relationship at
any time, with or without Cause.

 

Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason
of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets,
funds or property of the Company or any Related Corporation whatsoever
including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets or other property
which the Company or any Related Corporation, in its or their sole discretion, may set
aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have
only a contractual right to the Common Stock or amounts, if any, payable under
the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Related Corporation,
and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a representation of
guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Related Corporation shall be
sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

 

Nothing in this Plan nor in any agreement evidencing an
Award shall confer upon any eligible employee or Participant any promise or
commitment by the Company or a Related Corporation regarding future positions,
future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition or
employment or affiliation.

 

The Company, in establishing and maintaining this Plan as a
voluntary and unilateral undertaking, expressly disavows the creation of any
rights in eligible employees, Participants or

 

16

 

others claiming
entitlement under the Plan or any obligations on the part of the Company,
any Related Corporation or the Plan Administrator, except as expressly provided
herein. In particular, no third party beneficiary rights shall be created under
the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
disavows any undertaking to maintain the tax-qualified status of Options
designated as Incentive Stock Options or to assure the tax treatment of any
particular award, including the deferral or transfer of any Award benefits, as may be
permitted by the Plan Administrator.

 

16.3                        Issuance
of Shares

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of
Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under
the Plan unless such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all
applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the
Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or
similar entity.

 

The Company shall be under no obligation to
any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption
under the Securities Act, or to register or qualify under state or foreign
securities laws, any shares of Common Stock, security or interest in a security
paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any
such registrations or qualifications if made. 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 deems necessary
or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal, state and foreign
securities laws.

 

To the extent that the Plan or any instrument
evidencing an Award provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the
issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a
noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the
applicable rules of any stock exchange. As a condition to the exercise of
an Option or any other receipt of Common Stock pursuant to an Award under the
Plan, the Company may require (i) the Participant to represent and
warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that such shares are being
purchased or received only for the Participant’s own account and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such shares and (ii) such other
action or agreement by the Participant as may from time to time be
necessary to comply with the foreign, federal and state securities laws. At the
option of the Company, a stop-transfer order against any such shares may be
placed on the official stock books and records of the Company, and a legend
indicating that such shares may not be pledged, sold or otherwise
transferred, unless an opinion of counsel is provided (concurred in by counsel
for the Company) stating that such transfer is not in violation of any
applicable law or regulation, may be stamped on stock certificates to
ensure exemption from registration. The Plan Administrator may also
require the Participant to execute and deliver to the Company a purchase
agreement or such other agreement as may be in use by the Company at such
time that describes certain terms and conditions applicable to the shares.

 

17

 

16.4                        No Rights
as a Stockholder

 

No Option or Stock Award denominated in units
shall entitle the Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a
stockholder unless and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares
that are the subject of such Award.

 

16.5                        Compliance
With Laws and Regulations

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate
the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the
Plan to Participants who are officers or directors subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan
with respect to other Participants. Additionally, in interpreting and applying
the provisions of the Plan, any 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.

 

16.6                        Participants
in Foreign Countries

 

The Plan Administrator shall have the
authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be
necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign
countries in which the Company or its Related Corporations may operate to
assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants
employed in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.

 

16.7                        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 of Common Stock, 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.

 

16.8                        Severability

 

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is
determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as
to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Plan Administrator, 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 Plan Administrator’s determination,
materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall
be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the
Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

16.9                        Choice of
Law

 

The Plan and all determinations made and
actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws
of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington
without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

18

 

SECTION 17. EFFECTIVE DATE

 

The Effective Date is the date on which the Plan is first adopted by
the Board, so long as it is approved by the Company’s stockholders at any time
within 12 months of such adoption.

 

SECTION 18. CALIFORNIA AWARDS

 

This Section 18 shall have application only to
Eligible Participants who are residents of the State of California. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary
and to the extent required by applicable law, the following terms and
conditions shall apply to all Awards granted to residents of the State of
California, until such time as the Common Stock becomes registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934:

 

18.1                        Option
Price.

 

Nonqualified Stock Options shall have an exercise
price that is not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at
the Grant Date, except that the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value in the case of any person who owns stock possessing more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or its parent or subsidiary corporations.

 

18.2                        Purchase
Price.

 

The purchase price for any Stock Awards that may be
purchased under the Plan (“Stock Purchase Rights”) shall be at least 85% of the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time the Eligible Participant is
granted the Stock Purchase Right or at the time the purchase is consummated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase price shall be at least 100% of the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time the Eligible Participant is
granted the Stock Purchase Right or at the time the purchase is consummated in
the case of any person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary
corporations.

 

18.3                        Maximum
Term.

 

Options shall have a term of not more than ten years from the Grant
Date.

 

18.4                        Transferability.

 

Awards shall be nontransferable other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the
extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Administrator, in its
discretion, may permit distribution of an Option to an inter vivos or
testamentary trust in which the Option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon
the death of the trustor (settlor), or by gift to “immediate family” as that
term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act.

 

19

 

18.5                        Vesting.

 

Options shall become exercisable at the rate of at
least 20% per year over five years from the date the Option is granted,
subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment. However, in the
case of an Option granted to officers, directors or consultants of the Company
or any of its affiliates, the Option may become fully exercisable, subject
to reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during
any period established by the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

18.6                        Termination
of Employment.

 

Unless employment is terminated for Cause, the right
to exercise an Option in the event of termination of employment, to the extent
that the Eligible Participant is otherwise entitled to exercise an Option on
the date employment terminates, shall be

 

a.                                       at
least six months from the Termination Date if termination was caused by
death or Disability; and

 

b.                                      at
least 30 days from the Termination Date if termination was caused by other than
death or Disability;

 

c.                                       but
in no event later than the remaining term of the Option.

 

18.7                        Grant
Period.

 

No Award may be granted to a resident of
California more than ten years after the earlier of the date of adoption of the
Plan and the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders.

 

18.8                        Premature
Grants.

 

Any Award exercised before stockholder approval is
obtained shall be rescinded if stockholder approval is not obtained within 12
months before or after the Plan is adopted. Such shares shall not be counted in
determining whether such approval is obtained.

 

18.9                        Disclosure.

 

The Company shall provide annual financial statements
of the Company to each California resident holding an outstanding Award under
the Plan. Such financial statements need not be audited and need not be issued
to key employees whose duties at the Company assure them access to equivalent
information.

 

18.10                 Repurchase
Limits.

 

Any right of repurchase on behalf of the Company in
the event of an Eligible Participant’s termination of employment shall be at a
purchase price that is (a) not less than the Fair Market Value of the
securities to be repurchased on the date of termination of employment, and the
right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase
money indebtedness for the

 

20

 

shares within 90 days of termination of employment (or
in the case of securities issued upon exercise of Options after the date of
termination, within 90 days after the date of the exercise), and the right
shall terminate when the Company’s securities become publicly traded; or (b) at
the original purchase price, provided that the right to repurchase at the
original purchase price lapses at the rate of at least 20% of the shares per
year over five years from the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right is
granted (without respect to the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was
exercised or became exercisable) and the right to repurchase shall be exercised
for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares within
90 days of termination of employment (or in the case of securities issued upon
exercise of Options after the date of termination, within 90 days after the
date of the exercise). In addition to the restrictions set forth in clauses (a) and
(b), the securities held by an officer, director or consultant of the Company
or an affiliate of the Company may be subject to additional or greater
restrictions.

 

18.11                 Voting
Rights.

 

Shares of Common Stock and similar equity securities
should normally carry equal voting rights on all matters where such vote is
permitted by applicable law.

STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT

APPENDIX
OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Your
Option is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan, as tailored by
your Option Agreement and this Appendix of Terms and Conditions. Capitalized
terms not defined in your Option Agreement and this Appendix have the meanings
provided in the Plan.

 

A.            Termination of Employment. Upon your
termination of employment or other service relationship with the Company, the
unvested portion of your Option expires. You may continue to exercise the
vested portion of your Option for a period of three months following your
termination, unless the termination was for Cause, or attributable to your
death or Total Disability, as described below. If your employment or other
service relationship terminates for Cause (as defined in the Plan), the
unexercised portion of your Option expires immediately, both unvested and
vested portions.

 

If your employment or other service relationship with
the Company terminates because of your Total Disability, you may continue to
exercise the vested portion of your Option for 12 months (instead of the
regular three months) following the termination, but in no event beyond the
original Expiration Date. Similarly, if you die while still working for the
Company, your heirs or estate may exercise the vested portion of your Option
for a period of 12 months following your death. Upon your death within three
months following a termination of employment or other service relationship (or
within 12 months, if termination is due to Total Disability), your estate or
heirs will have 12 months following the date of your death to exercise the
vested portion of your Option.

 

B.            Option Exercise. You may exercise your
Option by giving written notice to the Company, using the attached sample form
or other documentation substantially similar and satisfactory to the Company.

 

C.            Form of Payment. Your written exercise
notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number
of shares you are purchasing. You may pay your Option exercise price in cash,
with a cashier’s check, or a personal check, unless the Plan Administrator
determines at the time of exercise not to accept a personal check. At the
complete discretion of the Administrator, alternative forms of payment (such as
cashless exercises) may be accepted.

 

D.            Tax Consequences. Your Option is
intended as a Nonqualified Stock Option (NQSO). Upon exercise of your Option,
and receipt of shares of Common Stock, you will have taxable income for federal
income tax reporting purposes, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of
the shares, measured at the time of exercise, less the Exercise Price you paid.
The income constitutes compensation, taxed at ordinary income rates. Upon your
ultimate sale of the shares, the resulting gain or loss will constitute capital
gain or loss, taxed at short or long-term capital gain rates, depending on
whether you have held the shares for at least a year. The tax rules associated
with options can be complex. The Company is not providing tax advice, and the
preceding is provided only as background information. You should consider
obtaining personal tax consulting before exercising your Option or selling the
resulting shares. Further, the 

 

A-1

 

tax laws generally described above are in effect as of your Option
Grant Date and are subject to change.

 

E.             Withholding Taxes. To the extent the
exercise of your Option generates taxable income, the income may trigger
withholding tax obligations for the Company. The Company has the right to
retain, without notice, sufficient shares to satisfy these obligations, as well
as withhold other amounts the Company may owe you. Alternatively, the Company
may refrain from issuing shares to you until acceptable arrangements have been
made to enable the Company to satisfy its withholding obligation.

 

F.             Nontransferability of Option. During
your lifetime only you can exercise your Option. Your Option is not
transferable, except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution. Following your death, the Plan provides that your Option may be
exercised by your heirs or the personal representative of your estate.

 

G.            Registration / Stock Legend. As
described in Section 15 of the Plan, various federal and state securities laws
must be satisfied before the Company can issue shares to you upon the exercise
of your Option. By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read Section 15
and understand this condition. Also, the certificates you receive for shares
upon exercise of your Option may possess the following legend or its
equivalent:

 

The securities
represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and may not be sold, assigned, offered or
otherwise transferred unless (a) there is an effective registration
statement under the Act, or (b) the Company receives an opinion of legal
counsel for the holder of these securities (concurred in by legal counsel for
the Company) stating that the transaction is exempt from registration or the
Company otherwise satisfies itself that the transaction is exempt from
registration.

 

H.            Effect on Employment. By signing below
and acknowledging receipt of your Option Agreement, you acknowledge that the
Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend or terminate it at
any time, and that your Option does not entitle you to additional option grants
or continued employment or service with the Company, or limit the Company’s
ability (or your ability) to terminate employment or services at any time. You
also acknowledge that the future value of the underlying shares is unknown and
cannot be predicted with certainty, and if the underlying shares do not
increase in value, then your Option may have no value.

 

I.              Governing Law; Attorneys Fees. The
Plan, this Option Agreement and this Appendix are governed by the laws of the
State of Washington. If any provision of these documents is held to be invalid
by a court having jurisdiction, the remaining terms will remain in full force
and effect. In the event of any arbitration or litigation concerning your
Option, each party will pay its own court costs and attorney fees, and the
prevailing party shall not be entitled to recover those costs and fees from the
non-prevailing party.

 

A-2

 

J.             Binding Effect. The terms and
conditions expressed in this Option Agreement and corresponding Appendix will
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and will be
binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns.

 

A-3
