                      (c)          ISO $100,000 Limitation.

For purposes of this Section 5(c), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Optioned Shares shall be determined as of the date of the grant of such Option.

                      (d)          No Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall (i) confer upon any Employee or Consultant any right to the continuation of any service relationship with the Company (any Parent or Subsidiary) or (ii) interfere in any way with such Employee's or Consultant's right or the Company's (Parent's or Subsidiary's) right to terminate an existing service relationship at any time, with or without cause.

          6.          Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date it is adopted by the Board. Subject to Section 16 of the Plan, it shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of adopted by the Board.

                                                     (A)          granted to an Employee who is a Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant;

                                                     (B)          granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant;

                                                     (A)          granted on or after the date (if ever) on which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security that is intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant;

                                                     (B)          granted to an Employee or Consultant, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of certain Corporate Transactions, the per Share exercise price of an Option may be determined without giving effect to requirements above.

                      (b)          Permissible Consideration. The consideration to be paid and the method of payment for Optioned Stock shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement; provided that to the extent required by Applicable Laws and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the consideration and method of payment shall be determined on the date of grant. Such consideration and method of payment may consist of (1) cash; (2) check; (3) a promissory note (to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws) with such recourse, interest, security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to be appropriate (subject to the provisions of Section 12B.06.210 of the Washington Business Corporation Act); (4) cancellation of indebtedness; (5) Shares that satisfy any minimum holding period requirement (e.g., to avoid financial accounting charges to the Company's earnings) established by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; (6) a Cashless Exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment permitted under Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may refuse to accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise.

          10.        Exercise of Option.

                      (a)          General.

                                       (i)          Exercisability. An Option shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator. Subject to the provisions in the Plan, the times and conditions when an Option shall become exercisable shall be set forth in the Option Agreement and may include time-based vesting requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary and/or the Optionee.

                                       (ii)         Leave of Absence. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave; provided that, upon an Optionee's return from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act or USERRA), such Optionee's shall be given vesting credit under his or her Options equal to how such Options would have otherwise vested had the Optionee continued to provide services to the Company (any Parent or Subsidiary, if applicable) during the military leave on the same terms as the Optionee was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

9


                                       (iii)        Minimum Exercise Requirements. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Administrator may require that an Option be exercised as to a minimum number of Shares; provided that such requirement shall not prevent an Optionee from exercising the full number of Optioned Stock which is then exercisable.

                                       (iv)         Procedures for and Results of Exercise. An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment (including applicable withholding obligations, if any) for the Optioned Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. To the extent authorized and acceptable by the Administrator, full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 9(b) of the Plan and the Option Agreement.

The exercise of an Option shall result in a decrease in the aggregate number of Shares that thereafter are available for issuance under the Plan and for future purchase under such Option.

                                       (v)          Rights as Stockholder. Notwithstanding the exercise of an Option, no right to vote, receive dividends or any other stockholder rights shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). Except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, no adjustment will be made for a dividend or other stockholder right with respect to Optioned Stock for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares were issued.

                      (b)          Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10(b), the Administrator shall establish and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following an Optionee's Service Termination, which provisions may be waived or modified by the Administrator at any time. To the extent that an Option Agreement does not specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall terminate upon an Optionee's Service Termination, the following provisions shall apply:

                                       (i)          General Provisions. Except as otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, upon an Optionee's Service Termination, an Option (or any part thereof) that is not vested as of such Service Termination shall terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying such unvested Option shall revert to the Plan and again become available for issuance. To the extent that an Optionee fails to exercise the vested portion of an Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement or the Plan, as applicable, following the Optionee's Service Termination, such unexercised Option shall terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying such unexercised Option shall revert to the Plan and again become available for issuance. In no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Option Agreement (and subject to Section 7 of the Plan).

10


                                       (ii)         Termination other than Upon Disability, Death or for Cause. In the event Optionee's Service Termination is for reasons other than the circumstances set forth in subsections (iii) through (v) below, such Optionee may exercise an Option for three (3) months following such termination to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Option as of the date of such termination.

                                       (iii)        Disability of Optionee. In the event Optionee's Service Termination is the result of Optionee's Disability, such Optionee may exercise an Option at any time within six (6) months following such termination to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Option as of the date of such termination.

                                       (iv)         Death of Optionee. In the event of Optionee's death prior to a Service Termination, or within three (3) months following Optionee's Service Termination, an Option may be exercised by Optionee's estate (or by such other person entitled to exercise the Option) at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Option as of the earlier of (i) the date of death or (ii) the date of the Optionee's Service Termination.

                                       (v)          Termination for Cause. In the event of Optionee's Service Termination is for Cause, any Option (including any exercisable portion thereof) held by such Optionee shall terminate in its entirety as of the date the Optionee is first notified of such termination. If an Optionee's service relationship with the Company (any Parent or Subsidiary) is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Optionee shall be terminated for Cause, all the Optionee's rights under any Option likewise shall be suspended during the investigation period and the Optionee shall have no right to exercise any Option. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Company shall have the right to repurchase an Employee's Optioned Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a vested Option granted on any date on which the Common Stock is not a Listed Security upon the following terms: (A) the repurchase is made within 90 days of the Optionee's Service Termination for Cause; (B) the Company's per Share repurchase price is the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of termination; (C) the consideration and method of payment consists of cash or cancellation of indebtedness attributable to the exercise of the Option; (D) the Company's repurchase right terminates on the date the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security. Subject to Applicable Laws, with respect to the Optioned Stock acquired by an officer of the Company or a Consultant pursuant to the exercise of a vested Option, the Company shall have a right to repurchase such Optioned Stock upon the Optionee's Service Termination for Cause at the Optionee's exercise price and shall be effected pursuant to such terms and conditions, and at such time, as the Administrator shall determine. Nothing in this Section 10(b)(v) shall in any way limit the Company's right to repurchase Optioned Stock issued upon exercise of an unvested Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.

                      (c)          Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out an Option for cash or Shares based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

          11.        Stock Purchase Rights.

                      (a)          Rights to Purchase. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, an Employee or Consultant may be granted a Stock Purchase Right. Subject to the provisions in the Plan, the terms, conditions and restrictions of a Stock Purchase Right shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. An Employee or Consultant shall accept the grant of Stock Purchase Right by executing a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. Such Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall include the number of Shares subject to the Stock Purchase Right, the price to be paid (if any), and the time within which the grant of the Stock Purchase Right must be accepted. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements need not be the same with respect to each purchaser. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Administrator shall determine the purchase price (if any) under the Stock Purchase Right. The consideration to be paid and the method of payment for Shares subject to the Stock Purchase Rights shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. The consideration and method of payment set forth in Section 9(b) of the Plan also shall be available for Stock Purchase Rights.

                      (b)          Repurchase Option.

                                       (i)          General. Except as otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have the right to repurchase Restricted Stock upon the Employee's or Consultant's Service Termination with the Company (a Parent or any Subsidiary) for any reason (including death or Disability). The repurchase price pursuant to the Company's repurchase option shall be the purchase price paid by the Employee or Consultant; provided that such repurchase price may be paid by cancellation of indebtedness of such Employee or Consultant to the Company. The Company's right to repurchase Restricted Stock shall lapse at such rate as the Administrator may determine and set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

                                       (ii)         Leave of Absence. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the lapsing of the Company's repurchase rights shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, such lapsing shall be tolled during any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, the lapsing of the Company repurchase rights shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave; provided that, upon a Participant's return from military leave (under conditions that would entitle the Participant to protection under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act or USERRA), the Participant shall be given service credit with respect to any Restricted Stock equal to how the Company's repurchase right would have otherwise lapsed had the Participant continued to provide services to the Company (any Parent or Subsidiary, if applicable) during the military leave on the same terms as the Participant was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

12


                                       (iii)        Termination for Cause. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Company shall have the right to repurchase an Employee's Restricted Stock that is no longer subject to the Company's right of repurchase as set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and that was acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Right granted on any date on which the Common Stock is not a Listed Security upon the following terms: (A) the repurchase is made within 90 days of the Participant's Service Termination for Cause; (B) the Company's per Share repurchase price is the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of termination; (C) the consideration and method of payment consists of cash or cancellation of indebtedness attributable to the Stock Purchase Right; (D) the Company's repurchase right terminates on the date the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security. Subject to Applicable Laws, with respect to the Restricted Stock acquired by an officer of the Company or a Consultant pursuant to a Stock Purchase Right which is no longer subject to the Company's right of repurchase as set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have a right to repurchase such Restricted Stock upon the Participant's Service Termination for Cause at the Participant's purchase price and shall be effected pursuant to such terms and conditions, and at such time, as the Administrator shall determine. Nothing in this Section 11(b)(iii) shall in any way limit the Company's right to repurchase Restricted Stock for which the Company's repurchase option has not lapse as set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

                      (c)          Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Employee or Consultant purchases Restricted Stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase Right , the such Employee or Consultant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when the purchase of Restricted Stock is entered on the books of the Company or of the Company's duly authorized transfer agent . Except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, no adjustment will be made for a dividend or other stockholder right with respect to Restricted Stock for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares were issued.

          12.        Taxes.

                      (a)          As a condition of the grant, vesting, purchase or exercise of an Award, the Participant (or such other person entitled to the Award) shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

                      (b)          After the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, the Administrator may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding tax obligations either (i) by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or (ii) by physically surrendering (or by stock attestation) all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired; provided that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require that any previously-owned Shares tendered for payment be held by the Participant for a minimum duration (e.g., to avoid financial accounting charges to the Company's earnings). Such Shares shall be valued based on the value of the actual trade on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under Applicable Laws. Shares withheld or otherwise applied to satisfy any applicable withholding obligation shall not exceed the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. Any payment of taxes by assigning Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including, but not limited to, any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, also may permit a Participant to satisfy withholding obligations related to an Award through a Cashless Exercise or through a sale of Shares underlying the Award.

13


          13.        Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights.

                      (a)          General. Except as set forth in this Section 13, Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a beneficiary by a Participant will not constitute a transfer. An Award may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the Award, only by such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 13.

                      (b)          Limited Transferability Rights. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 13, the Administrator in its discretion may grant Nonstatutory Stock Options that may be transferred either (i) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which such Option are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or (ii) by gift (or other transfer without payment of consideration) to an "Immediate Family Member" (as defined below) of the Optionee. "Immediate Family Member" means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships), a person sharing the Optionee's household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons (or the Optionee) have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Optionee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Optionee) own more than 50% of the voting interests. A transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights is not a prohibited transfer for value.

          14.        Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other Transactions.

                      (a)          Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any action required under Applicable Laws by the stockholders of the Company, the number and class of Shares or other stock or securities covered by each outstanding Award, the numbers and class of Shares or other stock or securities set forth in Section 8 of the Plan, the number and class of Shares or other stock or securities that are available for future Awards under Section 3 of the Plan, and the per Share exercise price of Optioned Stock, may be adjusted by the Board (and, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, such adjustment shall be proportional). In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Shares, subdivision of the Shares, dividend payable in other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the Shares, a reorganization, merger, liquidation, spin-off, split-up, distribution, exchange of Shares, repurchase of Shares, change in corporate structure or other similar occurrence, any adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made, with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. If, by reason of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14(a), a Participant's Award shall cover additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such additional or different shares, and the Award in respect thereof, shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Award and the Shares subject to the Award prior to such adjustment.

14


                      (b)          Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

                      (c)          Corporate Transaction. Unless the Option Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement, applicable employment agreement or other applicable agreement provides otherwise, in the event of a Corporate Transaction (including without limitation a Change of Control), each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award shall be substituted therefor by such successor entity or a parent or subsidiary of such successor entity (the "Successor Entity"), In the event the Successor Entity does not agree to assume the Award or to substitute with an equivalent award, then such Award shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction.

                                       (i)          Notwithstanding the above, unless the Option Agreement, applicable employment agreement or other applicable agreement provides otherwise, in the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Option shall be assumed, substituted for an equivalent award by the Successor Entity (or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Successor Entity) or exchanged for a payment of cash, securities and/or other property equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the portion of the Option that is exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction over the aggregate exercise price thereof; provided that, if the Successor Entity does not agree to such assumption, substitution, or exchange, the vesting and exercisability of each outstanding Option shall accelerate such that the Options shall become vested and exercisable in full prior to consummation of the Change of Control at such time and on such conditions as the Administrator shall determine, and to the extent Options are not exercised prior to consummation of the transaction, they shall terminate upon such consummation. If an Option is to be terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall notify the Participant of such fact at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the Option terminates. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement, in the case of Restricted Stock that is subject to a right of repurchase under the terms of the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, such Restricted Stock shall be assumed, substituted or exchanged by the Successor Entity; provided that if the Successor Entity refuses to such assumption, substitution or exchange, then any right of repurchase to which such Restricted Shares is subject immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction shall lapse in full.

                                       (ii)         For purposes of this Section 14(c), an Option or a Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction or a Change of Control, as the case may be, each holder of an Award would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the Award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Award as provided for in this Section 14); provided that if such consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the Successor Entity, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Entity, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Award to be solely common stock of the Successor Entity equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

15


                                       (iii)        Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without the receipt of consideration by the Company, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may appropriately adjust the per Share price for the Shares subject to each outstanding Award to reflect the effect of such distribution.

          15.        Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Subject to Applicable Laws, the date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the final determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator; provided that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the date of grant shall be the later of (i) the date on which the Administrator makes the final determination to grant such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) the date on which the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary) commences. Notice of the Administrator's determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

          16.        Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

                      (a)          Authority to Amend or Terminate. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan) shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any outstanding Award, without his or her written consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as may be required.

                      (b)          Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment (including alternation, suspension, or discontinuation) or termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect outstanding Awards, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

          17.        Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or delivery would comply with Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising the Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of the Company's legal counsel, such a representation is required by law. Shares issued upon exercise of Awards granted prior to the date, if ever, on which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company pursuant to which the Participant will be required to offer Shares to the Company before selling or transferring them to any third party on such terms and subject to such conditions as is reflected in the applicable Option Agreement Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement or the Company's bylaws.

16


          18.        Beneficiaries. Unless stated otherwise in an Award agreement, a Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries with respect to an Award by timely filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Participant's death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then upon the Participant's death any vested Award(s) shall be transferred or distributed to the Participant's estate.

          19.        Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          20.        Agreements. Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be evidenced by Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, respectively, in such form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

          21.        Stockholder Approval. If required by Applicable Laws, continuance of the Plan shall be subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

          22.        Addenda. The Administrator may approve such addenda to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for the purpose of granting Awards to Employees or Consultants with such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom, which if required under Applicable Laws may deviate from the terns and conditions set forth in this Plan. The terms of any such addenda shall not affect the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose.
