    Establishment
and Purpose of the Plan

    

     

    1.1          Establishment of the Plan.
Intermec, Inc. (the "Company") hereby establishes its
Change of Control Severance Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is effective as
of January 7, 2009 (the "Effective
Date").

     

    1.2          Purpose of the Plan. The Plan
is intended to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of
certain key employees of the Company, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), to diminish the inevitable
distraction of such employees by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks
created by a pending or threatened Change of Control, to encourage such
employees' full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the
event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide such
employees with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control
that will satisfy the expectations of the employees and that are competitive
with those of other peer corporations.

        1

        
        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (f)          "Cause" means:

     

    (i) the willful and continued failure

Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief
Executive Officer believes that the Participant has not substantially performed
the Participant's duties, or

     

    (ii) the willful engaging by the
Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materi­ally and

Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The
cessation of employment of the Participant shall not be deemed to be for Cause

(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or
more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company

whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of
the Incumbent Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose
initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the
Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board;

reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company ("Business

excluding, however, such a Business Combination pursuant to which (A) all or
sub­stantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial
owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination shall
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the
outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result of
such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's
assets) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately
prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (other
than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Company or any entity controlled by the Company or such corporation resulting
from such Business Combination) shall beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
30% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the

power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership

16(a) of the Exchange Act and other key management personnel of the Company

shall notify each eligible employee of his or her selection for participation in
the Plan by a Notice of Participation setting forth the Severance Payment
Percentage for the eligible employee and such other terms, provisions and

Committee. Participation shall be effective upon an eligible employee properly

during the term of the Plan.

    Severance
Benefits

    

     

    4.1          Right to Severance Benefits.
Participants shall be entitled to receive Severance Benefits from the Company,
as described in Section 4.3, if:

     

    (a)          The
Participant's employment with the Company shall end for any reason specified in
Section 4.2; and

     

    (b)          The
Participant is not (i) reemployed by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company whether in a salaried, hourly, temporary or full-time capacity,
(ii) retained as a consultant or contractor by the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, or (iii) retained as a consultant or contractor by an
entity acquiring the Company, unless the reemployment or retention of such
Participant has the prior written approval of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer or Vice President, Human Resources; and

     

    (c)          Receipt
of Severance Benefits shall disqualify the Participant from eligibility to
receive any other severance benefits from the Company.

     

    4.2          Qualifying Termination. The
occurrence of either of the following events within 24 calendar months following
the effective date of a Change of Control of the Company shall trigger the
payment of Severance Benefits to a Participant under the Plan:

     

    (a)          An
involuntary termination of the Participant's employment by the Company,
authorized by the Company's Committee or Board, Chief Executive Officer or Vice
President, Human Resources, for reasons other than for Cause or

     

    (b)          A
voluntary termination by the Participant for Good Reason.

     

    Anything
in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a 409A Change of Control occurs
and if the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated within six
months prior to the date on which the 409A Change of Control occurs, and if it
is reasonably demonstrated by the Participant that such termination of
employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps
reasonably calculated to effect the 409A Change of Control or
(ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of the 409A Change
of Control, then for all purposes of the Plan, a Qualifying Termination shall be
deemed to have take place on the date immediately prior to the date of such
termination of employment.

     

    Termination
of a Participant's employment on account of death, Disability or Retirement
shall not be treated as a Qualifying Termination.

     

    4.3          Description of Severance
Benefits. In the event that a Participant becomes entitled to receive
Severance Benefits as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Company shall
pay to the Participant and provide the Participant with the
following:

     

    (a)          An
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Participant's Severance
Payment Percentage times the highest rate of the Participant's Annual Base
Salary rate in effect at any time up to and including the Effective Date of
Termination.

     

    (b)          An
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Participant's Severance
Payment Percentage times the average of the Participant's annual bonus payment
under the Company's Management Incentive Compensation Plan (or any comparable or
successor plan) for the three fiscal years prior to the year in which the
Qualifying Termination occurred (the "Annual
Bonus").

     

    (c)          As
an additional severance payment, a separate lump-sum cash amount equal to the
excess of (i) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose actuarial
assumptions no less favorable to the Participant than those in effect
immediately prior to the date the Change of Control occurs) of the benefit under
the Retirement Plan and SERP that the Participant would receive if the
Participant's employment continued for two years after the Effective Date of
Termination, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully
vested, and assuming that the Participant's compensation in each of the two
years is the same as the Participant's compensation as in effect immediately
prior to the date of the Change of Control, over (ii) the actuarial equivalent
of the Participant's actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the
Retirement Plan and the SERP as of the Effective Date of
Termination.

     

    (d)          An
amount equal to the Participant's unpaid Annual Base Salary and accrued vacation
pay through the Participant's last day of work.

     

    (e)          An
amount equal to the product of (i) the Participant's unpaid targeted annual
bonus established for the plan year in which the Participant's Effective Date of
Termination occurs, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days completed in the current fiscal year through the Effective Date of
Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, to the extent not theretofore
paid. Any payments under the Plan are in lieu of any bonuses otherwise payable
under the Company's Management Incentive Compensation Plan (or any comparable or
successor plan).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (f)           For
two years after the Participant's Effective Date of Termination, or such longer
period as may be provided by the terms of any plan, program, practice or policy,
the Company shall continue group medical, dental, disability and life insurance
benefits (the "Welfare Benefit
Plans") to the
Participant and/or the Participant's family at least equal in the aggregate to
95% of those that would have been provided to them in accordance with the
Welfare Benefit Plans if the Participant's employment had not been terminated,
as may be modified with respect to other peer executives of the Company and
their families; provided, however, that if the Participant becomes reemployed
with another employer and is eligible to receive group medical, dental,
disability or life insurance benefits under another employer-provided plan, the
Welfare Benefit Plans shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan
during such applicable period of eligibility. During the period the Participant
and/or the Participant's family is eligible to receive continued medical or
dental continuation coverage under the Company’s group medical and dental
benefit plans in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), the Company shall pay the
portion of the Participant’s premium payments necessary to satisfy the
requirements of the first sentence of this Section 4.3(f). With respect to any
period after which the Participant and/or the Participant’s family ceases to be
eligible for COBRA coverage, and with respect to disability and life insurance
benefits for the remainder of the two-year period after the Participant's
Effective Date of Termination, the Participant and/or the Participant’s family
shall pay to the Company, on an after-tax basis, an amount equal to the full
premium cost of medical, dental, disability and life insurance benefits
coverage. Within 30 days of such payment, the Company shall pay to the
Participant and/or the Participant’s family in cash (less required withholding)
an amount equal to (i) the portion of the Participant’s premium payments
necessary to satisfy the requirements of the first sentence of this Section
4.3(f), less any premium amount that would have been payable by the Participant
or/or the Participant’s family if the Participant and/or the Participant’s
family were participants in the Plan, plus (ii) an additional amount equal to
the federal, state and local income and payroll taxes that the Participant
incurs on each with respect to such payment. For purposes of determining
eligibility of the Participant for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans,
practices, programs and policies, the Participant shall be considered to have
remained employed until the end of the two-year period after the Change of
Control and to have retired on the last day of such period; provided, however,
that the Participant shall be entitled to the more favorable of the retiree
benefits in effect on the Participant's Effective Date of Termination or the
retiree benefits in effect on the date that would have been the last date of the
two-year period following the Change of Control if the Participant had remained
employed.

     

    (g)          The
Company shall pay the Participant, as incurred, the reasonable costs of all
outplacement services for a period of two years after the Participant's
Effective Date of Termination.

     

    (h)          To
the extent due and not theretofore paid or provided through the Participant's
Effective Date of Termination, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the
Participant and/or the Participant’s family any other amounts or benefits
required to be paid or provided or which the Participant and/or the
Participant’s family is eligible to receive pursuant to the Plan and under any
plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and
its affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other peer
executives and their families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the
Participant's Effective Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the
Participant, as in effect generally thereafter with respect to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families (such
other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other
Benefits").

     

    (i)          The
impact of a Change of Control upon equity awards then held by a Participant
shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable plan(s) pursuant
to which such awards were granted, any applicable guidelines or policies adopted
pursuant to such plans, and the terms and conditions of the individual
awards.

     

    4.4          Termination for Other Than a
Qualifying Termination. Following a Change of Control of the Company, if
the Participant's employment is terminated under circumstances that do not give
rise to a Qualifying Termination, no compensation or benefits shall be payable
under the Plan and the Participant's benefits shall be determined in accordance
with the Company's applicable compensation and benefits plans and programs then
in effect.

     

    4.5          Notice of Termination. Any
termination by the Company for Cause or without Cause or by the Participant for
Good Reason must be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto given in accordance with Section 13.1. For purposes of the Plan, a
“Notice of Termination” means a written notice by the Participant that
(a) indicates the specific termination provision in the Plan relied upon,
(b) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Participant’s
employment under the provision so indicated, and (c) if the Participant's
Effective Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of
receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not
more than 15 days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by
the Participant or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any
fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall
not waive any right of the Participant or the Company hereunder or preclude the
Participant or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
the Participant’s or the Company’s rights under the Plan. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event of the Participant’s termination
of employment for Good Reason, the Participant shall provide Notice of
Termination no later than 90 days following the initial existence of the
condition or occurrence of the event purported to constitute Good Reason, and
such Notice of Termination shall specify a Date of Termination that is no later
than 15 days after the date of such Notice of Termination (and in no event later
than two years following the initial existence of such condition or occurrence
of such event).

     

    4.6          Effective Date of Termination.
Effective Date of Termination means, if the Participant’s employment is
terminated by the Company, whether for Cause or without Cause, or by the
Participant for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or
any later date specified therein, as the case may be.

     

    4.7               Removal From Representative
Boards. In the event the terminating Participant occupies any board of
directors seats solely as a Company representative, as a condition to receiving
the severance set forth in Section 4.3 the Participant shall immediately resign
such position upon his or her termination of employment with the Company, unless
specifically requested in writing by the Company otherwise.

    Form
and Timing of Severance Benefits; Taxes

    

     

    5.1          Form and Timing of Severance
Benefits. Subject to any reduction required in accordance with Section
6.1(b), Severance Benefits to be paid by the Company to the Participant (or the
Participant's Beneficiary or estate) under Sections 4.3(d) and (e) shall be
paid in cash to the Participant (or the Participant's Beneficiary or estate) in
a single lump sum not later than the 30th day following the Participant's
Effective Date of Termination. Severance Benefits to be paid or provided by the
Company to the Participant (or the Participant's Beneficiary or estate) under
Sections 4.3(a)-(c) and (f)-(g) of the Plan shall be made in the form specified
herein; provided, however, that no Severance Benefits shall be payable or
provided unless and until the Release Agreement referred to in Section 7.3 is
properly executed and effective, and then at the time specified in
Section 7.3.

     

    5.2          Payment of Taxes. Subject to
Section 6, all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes are the sole
responsibility of the Participant (or the Participant's Beneficiary or
estate).

     

    5.3          Withholding of Taxes. The
Company may withhold from any amounts payable to the Participant (or the
Participant's beneficiary or estate) under the Plan all taxes (including,
without limitation, any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes) as are
required to be withheld pursuant to applicable laws and
regulations.

    Excise
Taxes

    

     

    6.1          Gross-Up
Payment.

     

    (a)          In
the event that the Participant becomes entitled to or receives any payment or benefit
under the Plan, or under any other plan, agreement, or arrangement with the
Company, or with
any Person whose actions result in a Change of Control of the Company or any
Person affiliated with the Company or such Persons (each a "Payment" and, in the aggregate, the
"Total
Payments") and any of the Total
Payments will be subject to any excise tax pursuant to Code Section 4999 or any
similar or successor provision (the "Excise
Tax"), the
Company shall make an additional lump-sum cash payment to the Participant (the
"Gross-Up
Payment") in an
amount such that the net amount retained by the Participant from the Total
Payments, after deduction of (i) the Excise Tax on the Total Payments, and
(ii) any federal, state or local income or employment tax and Excise Tax
imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, but before deduction for any federal, state or
local income or employment tax withholding on the Total Payments, shall be equal
to the Total Payments. The Gross-Up Payment, if any, shall be made by the
Company to the Participant by the end of the Participant's taxable year that
immediately follows the Participant's taxable year in which the related Excise
Tax on the Total Payments is remitted to the relevant taxing authorities. For
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, a Participant shall
be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal
income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be
made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation
in the state and locality of the Participant's residence on the Effective Date
of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that could
be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

     

    (b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, if any of the Total Payments would
otherwise be subject to the Excise Tax and the aggregate present value of the
Participant's Total Payments that are taken into account for purposes of
determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax
(as determined in accordance with Code Section 280G) would otherwise exceed
the Participant's Section 280G Threshold Amount (as defined in this
Section 6.1(b)) by an amount that is less than 10% of the Section 280G
Threshold Amount, then the Company shall reduce the Participant's Total Payments
to the minimum amount necessary to prevent any of the Total Payments from being
subject to the Excise Tax. If the Company is required to reduce the
Participant's Total Payments pursuant to this Section 6.1(b), no Gross-Up
Payment shall be made to the Participant and the Total Payments shall be reduced
by the Company in its reasonable discretion in the following order:
(i) reduction of any of the Total Payments that are subject to Code
Section 409A on a pro rata basis or such other manner that complies with
Code Section 409A, as determined by the Company, and (ii) reduction of
any of the Total Payments that are exempt from Code Section 409A. For purposes
of the Plan, the term "Section 280G
Threshold Amount"
means an amount equal to the Participant's base amount (within the meaning of
Code Section 280G), multiplied by three.

     

    (c)          All
computations and determinations called for by this Article 6 shall be made and
reported in writing to the Company and the Participant by an independent
accounting firm or independent tax counsel appointed by the Company (the "Tax Advisor"), and all such computations
and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the
Participant. For purposes of such calculations and determinations, the Tax
Advisor may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the
application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. The Company and the Participant
shall furnish to the Tax Advisor such information and documents as the Tax
Advisor may reasonably request in order to make the required calculations and
determinations. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses charged by the Tax
Advisor in connection with its services.

     

    6.2          Notice
and Contest of Claims.

     

    The
Participant shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of
the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable
but no later than 10 business days after the later of either (i) the date the
Participant has actual knowledge of such claim, or (ii) the date that the
Internal Revenue Service issues to the Participant either a written report
proposing imposition of the Excise Tax or a statutory notice of deficiency with
respect thereto, and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and
the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Participant shall not
pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the
date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending
on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies the Participant in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, the Participant
shall:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (a)          Give
the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such
claim;

     

    (b)          Take
such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by the Company;

     

    (c)          Cooperate
with the Company in good faith in order to contest such claim effectively;
and

     

    (d)          Permit
the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claims.

     

    Provided,
however, that the Company shall directly bear and pay all costs and expenses
(including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
tax contest and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, including interest and penalties with
respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs
and expenses. Any indemnification payments made by the Company to the
Participant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for any Excise Tax
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto) incurred by the
Participant in connection with such tax contest shall be made to the Participant
by the end of the Participant's taxable year that immediately follows the
Participant's taxable year in which the Excise Tax (together with any interest
and penalties) is remitted to the relevant taxing authority. Any indemnification
payments made by the Company to the Participant for any other costs or expenses
(other than Excise Tax, together with penalties and interest with respect
thereto) incurred by the Participant in connection with such tax contest shall
be made to the Participant (i) by the end of the Participant's taxable year that
immediately follows the Participant's taxable year in which the taxes that are
the subject of the tax contest are remitted to the relevant taxing authority, or
(ii) where as a result of such tax contest no taxes are remitted, the end of the
Participant's taxable year immediately following the Participant's taxable year
in which the tax contest is completed or there is a final and nonappealable
settlement or other resolution of the tax contest. Without limitation of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, the Company shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may
pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim.

     

    6.3          Application of Section 6.1 and
Section 6.2.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 of this Article 6 shall
not apply for Eligible Employees who become Participants on or after April 1,
2010.  For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall
continue to apply for Eligible Employees who became Participants before April 1,
2010.

    The
Company's Payment Obligation

    

     

    7.1          Contractual Rights to
Benefits. Subject to Section 3.2 and Sections 7.2-7.4, the Plan
establishes and vests in the Participant a contractual right to the benefits to
which the Participant may become entitled under the Plan. However, nothing
herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed
to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark or otherwise set aside any funds
or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made
or required under the Plan.

     

    7.2          Separation From Service. No
portion of the payments and benefits provided under Section 4.3 shall be paid or
provided unless the Participant’s termination of employment constitutes a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(h).

     

    7.3          Release Agreement. No portion
of the payments and benefits provided under Sections 4.3(a)-(c) and (f)-(g)
shall be paid or provided unless, on or prior to the 60th day following the
Participant's Effective Date of Termination, the Participant timely executes a
general waiver and release of claims agreement (the "Release
Agreement")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C (which Release
Agreement shall be provided by the Company to the Participant on or prior to the
seventh day following termination), and such release shall not have been revoked
by the Participant (and the applicable revocation period shall have expired)
prior to such 60th day. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, all such
payments and benefits shall be paid or provided on the 61st day following the
Participant's Effective Date of Termination.

    7.4          Restrictive Covenants. As of
the first date on which the Participant violates any Restrictive Covenant, any
remaining unpaid portion of the payments and benefits provided under Sections
4.3(a)-(c) and (f)-(g) shall thereupon be forfeited. In the event the terms of
any Restrictive Covenant shall be determined by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a
period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being
too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over
the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum
geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in
all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such
court in such action. The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that a breach
of the Restrictive Covenants will cause irreparable damage to the Company and
its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to
ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.
Accordingly, the Participant agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the
Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at
law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief. In addition, in the event that the Participant violates any
of the Restrictive Covenants, the Participant (a) shall be required to pay to
the Company in a single lump sum an amount equal to the aggregate total of the
amounts the Participant has received pursuant to Sections 4.3(a)-(e) and (g)
within 30 days following the date of such violation, and (b) the Company shall
no longer be required to continue benefits to the Participant and/or the
Participant’s family pursuant to Section 4.3(f).

     

    7.5          Mitigation Not Required. The
Participant shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the
amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of the Plan, and,
except as provided in Section 4.3(f), the obtaining of any such other employment
shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company's obligations to make the
payments and arrangements required to be made under the Plan.

     

    Article

    Dispute
Resolution

    

     

    8.1          Claims Procedure. Subject to
Section 8.2, in the event of a Dispute, the Company shall pay the Participant
50% of the amounts payable under Section 4.3 and shall provide the Participant
with all of the benefits specified in Section 4.3 within the time periods
applicable under Sections 4.3 and 5.1 if, but only if, the Participant
agrees in writing that, if the Dispute is resolved in the Company's favor by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the Participant shall promptly reimburse the
Company for the excess payments and benefits together with interest thereon at
the rate specified in Code Section 1274(d). If the Dispute is resolved in the
Participant's favor, the Company shall promptly pay the Participant the amount
that was withheld during the Dispute together with interest thereon at the rate
specified in Code Section 1274(d). In addition, to the extent the compensation
or benefits are subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the delay
contemplated by this Section 8.1 shall be further conditioned on final payment
commencing no later than the end of the first taxable year in which the parties
enter into a legally binding settlement of the Dispute or the Company is
required to commence final payment pursuant to a final, nonappealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction and the parties otherwise comply with the
conditions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3.

     

    8.2          Costs. Subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 9.3, the Company agrees to pay as incurred, to
the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that the
Participant may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the
Participant or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under,
any provision of the Plan or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as
a result of any contest by the Participant about the amount of any payment
pursuant to the Plan), plus in each case interest on any delayed pay­ment at
the applicable rate set forth in Code Section 7872(f)(2)(A); provided, however,
that the Participant shall be required to repay immediately any such amounts to
the Company to the extent that the Participant did not prevail on one material
item.

     

    Article
9

    Section
409A

    

     

    9.1          Intent. The Plan is intended
to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A to the maximum
extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the involuntary separation pay
plan exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or
otherwise. To the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to the Plan, it is
intended that the Plan comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations
and restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A.

     

    9.2          Interpretation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan
shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with the
intentions described in Section 9.1. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
with respect to any payments and benefits under the Plan to which Code
Section 409A applies, all references in the Plan to the termination of the
Participant's employment or service are intended to mean the Participant's
"separation from service," within the meaning of Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). In addition, if the Participant is a "specified
employee," within the meaning of Code Section 409, then to the extent
necessary to avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition of any
additional tax under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be
payable under the Plan during the six-month period immediately following the
Participant's "separation from service," within the meaning of
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i), shall not be paid to the Participant
during such period, but shall instead be accumulated and paid to the Participant
(or, in the event of the Participant's death, the Participant's estate) in a
lump sum on the first business day after the earlier of the date that is six
months following the Participant's separation from service or the Participant's
death, with no interest or earnings due for such period of
accumulation.

    9.3          Reimbursements. If the Company
reimburses the Participant for any amount to which the Participant is entitled
to reimbursement pursuant to the Plan, such reimbursement shall be made promptly
in accordance with Company policy, but in any event on or before the last day of
the Participant's taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense
or cost was incurred. In no event shall the amount that the Company pays for any
such reimbursement in any one year affect the amount that it shall pay in any
other year and in no event shall the amounts described in this Section 9.3 be
subject to liquidation or exchange, except, in each case, to the extent that the
right to reimbursement does not provide for a "deferral of compensation" within
the meaning of Code Section 409A.

     

    9.4          Unilateral Amendments.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Committee, to the
extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the
right, but shall not be required, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan so
that the benefits payable under the Plan qualify for exemption from or comply
with Code Section 409A; provided, however, that the Committee makes no
representations that benefits payable under the Plan shall be exempt from or
comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section
409A from applying to benefits payable under the Plan.

     

    9.5          Savings. Notwithstanding any
other provision in the Plan, the Plan shall be deemed to be amended, and shall
be deemed to be modified, to the extent the Company determines necessary to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and to avoid or mitigate the
imposition of additional taxes under Code Section 409A.

     

    Article

    Successors
and Assignment

    

     

    10.1          Successors to the Company. The
Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company or of any division or subsidiary thereof to
expressly assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under the Plan
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to
perform them if no such succession had taken place.

     

    10.2          Assignment by the Participant.
The Severance Benefits payable under the Plan are personal to the Participant
and without the prior written consent of the Company cannot be assigned or
otherwise transferred by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
each Participant's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Participant may designate one or more persons or entities as the
primary and contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance Benefits owing to the
Participant under the Plan. Such designation must be in the form of a signed
writing acceptable to the Committee and pursuant to such other procedures as the
Committee may decide. If the Participant dies while any amount would still be
payable to the Participant under the Plan had the Participant continued to live,
all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of the Plan to the Participant's Beneficiary. If no
Beneficiary designation made in accordance with the procedures described above
is on file with the Company at the time of the Participant's death, or if no
designated Beneficiaries survive the Participant for more than 14 days, any
Severance Benefits owing to the Participant under the Plan shall be paid to the
Participant's devisee, legatee or other designee, or if there is no such
designee, to the Participant's estate.

     

    Article 11

    Duration,
Amendment and Termination

    

    11.1          Duration. The Plan shall
terminate on December 31, 2013, unless (a) the Plan is extended by the Board,
(b) a Change of Control occurs prior to December 31, 2013, or (c) the Board
terminates the Plan in accordance with Section 11.2. If a Change of Control
occurs prior to termination of the Plan pursuant to the preceding sentence, then
the Plan shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the Company under
the Plan have been satisfied. A termination of the Plan pursuant to the
preceding sentences shall be effective for all purposes, except that such
termination shall not affect the payment or provision of compensation or
benefits earned by a Participant prior to the termination of the
Plan. 

     

    11.2          Amendment and Termination.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Committee or the Board may from
time to time terminate the Plan or amend the Plan in whole or in part. The Plan
may not be terminated or amended in any manner that would adversely affect the
rights or potential rights of a Participant without the Participant's written
consent, if the action to effect such termination or amendment occurs (a) after
a Change of Control or (b) in connection with a Change of Control, unless and to
the extent that the Committee or the Board determines that such termination or
amendment is required by law.

    Interpretation
and Administration

     

    The Plan
shall be administered by the Committee or the Board. Any authority of the
Committee under the Plan shall be non-exclusive and may also be exercised by the
Board. The Committee shall have the authority (a) to exercise all of the powers
granted to it under the Plan, (b) to construe, interpret and implement the Plan,
(c) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
(d) to make all determinations necessary or advisable in the administration of
the Plan, and (e) to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan.

     

    The
determination of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons and shall be given the
greatest deference permitted by law.

    Miscellaneous

    

     

    13.1          Notices. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, all notices of every kind under
this Plan shall be made on forms prepared by the Company or shall be made in
such other manner as permitted or required by the Company, including through
electronic means, over the Internet or otherwise. If not otherwise specified by
the Plan or the Company, any notice required or permitted to be given to the
Company under the Plan shall be delivered to the principal office of the
Company, directed to the attention of the Vice President, Human Resources of the
Company. Such notice shall be deemed given on the date of delivery. Notice to
the Participant shall be deemed given when mailed (or sent by telecopy) to the
Participant's work or home address as shown on the records of the Company or, at
the option of the Company, to the Participant's email address as shown on the
records of the Company. It is the Participant's responsibility to ensure that
the Participant's addresses are kept up to date on the records of the
Company.

     

    13.2          Employment Status. Except as
may be provided under any other agreement between the Participant and the
Company, the employment of the Participant by the Company is "at will," and,
prior to the effective date of a Change of Control, the Participant's employment
may be terminated by either the Participant or the Company at any time, subject
to applicable law, in which case the Participant will have no further rights
under the Plan.

     

    13.3          Severability. In the event any
provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and
the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision
had not been included. Further, the captions of the Plan are not part of the
provisions hereof and shall have no force and effect.

     

    13.4          Effect of Plan. The Plan shall
completely supersede and replace any and all portions of any contracts, plans,
provisions or practices pertaining to severance entitlements owing to the
Participant from the Company and is in lieu of any notice requirement, policy or
practice. For the absence of doubt and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Participant's potential rights to severance pay, benefits and
notice under any prior Change of Control and Employment Agreement between the
Participant and the Company shall be completely replaced and superseded by the
Plan. As such, the Severance Benefits described herein shall serve as the
Participant's sole recourse with respect to termination of employment by the
Company following a Change of Control. If, in addition to the Plan, another
agreement, plan or program requires the Company to make payments or provide
other benefits to the Participant as a result of a change of control or as a
result of a termination of employment other than for cause, the Participant will
receive the benefits of the Plan if and only the Participant waives in writing
all rights to the benefits of such other agreement or severance
plan.  The Company shall also have the right to offset the benefits of
the Plan in the absence of such a waiver. In addition, the Severance Benefits
described herein shall not be counted as "compensation," or any equivalent term,
for purposes of determining benefits under other agreements, plans, provisions
or practices owing to the Participant from the Company, except to the extent
expressly provided therein. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the
Plan, a Participant's rights under all such agreements, plans, provisions and
practices continue to be subject to the respective terms and conditions
thereof.

     

    13.5          Applicable Law. The Plan and
all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan, 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 law. Participants irrevocably consent to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of
Washington.

Non-Disclosure Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement of the Company executed

benefits provided under Section 2 shall thereupon be forfeited.

     

    (b) In the
event the terms of any Restrictive Covenant shall be determined by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of such Restrictive

geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect,
such Restrictive Covenant shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum
period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical
area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other
respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in
such action.

     

    (c) The
Senior Officer recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of the Restrictive
Covenants will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the
exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the
remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.

     

    (d) Accordingly,
the Senior Officer agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the
Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at
law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief.

     

    (e) In
addition, in the event that the Senior Officer violates any of the Restrictive
Covenants, the Senior Officer shall be required to pay to the Company in a
single lump sum an amount equal to the aggregate total of the amounts the Senior
Officer has received pursuant to Section 2 (except for base salary through the
Date of Termination and payment of any obligations of the Company under the
Plans) within 30 days following the date of such violation.
