            Subject to the provisions and limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority and discretion:

              (7)  to make all other determinations and take all other actions which the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and conditions and applicable law.

            All actions of the Committee shall be either by (i) a majority vote of the members of the full Committee at a meeting of the Committee, or (ii) by unanimous written consent of all members of the full Committee without a meeting thereof.

            All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons, including all Optionees, Grantees and any other holders or persons interested in any Option or Award, unless otherwise expressly determined by a vote of the majority of the entire Board. No member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, an Option or an Award.

        2.    Eligibility.    Options may be granted only to Employees whom the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be key Employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary.

        No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Employee who owns stock immediately before the Option is given representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes hereof, the attribution of stock ownership rules provided in Section 425(d) of the Internal Revenue Code shall apply.

        Granting of Options pursuant to the Plan shall be entirely discretionary with the Committee, and the adoption of this Plan shall not confer upon any Employee any right to receive any Option or Options pursuant to the Plan unless and until said Options are granted by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any Options pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Employee or Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment, nor shall the same interfere in any way with his right or with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or a Parent to terminate his employment at any time.

        3.    Terms and Conditions of Options.    All Options granted pursuant to the Plan must be authorized by the Committee, and must be documented in written agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to all of the following terms and conditions:

            (a)    Number of Shares: Annual Limitation.    Each Option Agreement shall state the number of shares subject to Option. Any number of Options may be granted to a single eligible Employee at any time and from time to time; except in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time each Option is granted) of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are exercisable for the first time by such Employee in any one calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans of the Company, its Parent and all of its Subsidiaries taken together) shall not exceed $100,000.

            (b)    Option Price and Consideration.    The Option price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Option shall be such price as is determined by the Committee, but, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, shall in no event be less than the Book Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option.

            The Option price shall be payable either (i) in United States dollars upon exercise of the Option, or (ii) if so determined by the Committee and specified in the Option agreement, in other property, including without limitation Common Stock of the Company at its fair market value on the date of exercise.

            (c)    Term of Option.    No Option shall in any event be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted unless within the limited exception for Nonqualified Stock Options stated in Section 3(f) of this Part II. Subject to the foregoing and other applicable provisions of the Plan, the term of each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion.

            (d)    Manner of Exercise; Rights as Shareholder.    An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of

            (e)    Prior Outstanding Options.    No Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable while there is outstanding (within the meaning of Section 422A(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code) any Incentive Stock Option which was granted before the granting of such Incentive Stock Option to the same optionee to purchase stock of the Company or of any corporation which (at the time of the granting of such Incentive Stock Option) is a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or to purchase stock of any predecessor corporation of any of such corporations. For purposes of this provision, an Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as outstanding until such Incentive Stock Option is exercised in full or expires by reason of lapse of time.

            (f)    Death of Optionee.    In the event of the death of an Optionee who at the time of his death was an Employee and who had been in Continuous Status as an Employee since the date of grant of the Option, the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) one year after the date of death of the Optionee, or (ii) the expiration date otherwise provided in the Option agreement, except that in no event will any Nonqualified Stock Option expire before the end of the 90-day period immediately following the Optionee's death. The Option rights shall be exercisable at any time prior to such termination by the Optionee's estate, or by such person or persons who have acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or by inheritance or by reason of the death of the Optionee.

            (g)    Disability of Optionee.    If an Optionee's status as an Employee is terminated at any time during the Option period by reason of a disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), and if said Optionee had been in Continuous Status as an Employee at all times between the date of grant of the Option and the termination of his status as an Employee, his Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) one year after the date of termination of his status as an Employee, or (ii) the expiration date otherwise provided in his Option agreement. The Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee at any time prior to such termination date.

            (h)    Termination of Status as an Employee.    

              (1)  If an Optionee's status as an Employee is terminated at any time after the grant of his Option for any. reason other than death, disability or termination by reason of fraud or willful misconduct, as provided in (2) below, his Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the same day of the third month after the date of termination of his status as an Employee, or (ii) the expiration date otherwise provided in his Option agreement. The Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee at any time prior to such termination date, but only to the extent that it was exercisable by the Optionee on the date of termination of employment.

              (2)  If an Optionee's status as an Employee is terminated at any time after the grant of his Option by reason of fraud or willful misconduct, then his Option shall terminate on the date of termination of his status as an Employee.

            (i)    Non-Transferability of Options.    An Option granted pursuant to the Plan 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, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

            (j)    Date of Grant of Option.    The date of grant of an Option shall, f or all purposes, be the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such Option. Said date of grant shall be specified in the Option agreement.

            (k)    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.    Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to an Option granted under the Plan unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Washington State Securities Act or applicable securities statutes of other states, the rules and regulations promulgated under all such statutes, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

            As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of exercise that the shares of Common Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Common Stock if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

            (l)    Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.    In the event of a proposed merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, or in the event of a proposed sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding Options as of a date fixed by the Committee. In such event, however, the Committee shall notify each optionee of such action in writing not less than sixty (60) days prior to termination date fixed by the committee, and each Optionee shall have the right to exercise his Option prior to said termination date.

            (m)    Substitute Stock Options.    In connection with the acquisition or propose acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary, whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets, or other reorganization transaction, of a business any employees of which have been grant stock options, the Committee is authorized to issue, in substitution of any such unexercised stock option, a new Option under this Plan which confers upon the Optionee substantially the same benefits as the old option; provided, however, that the issuance of any new Incentive Stock Option for an old incentive stock option shall satisfy the requirements of Section 425(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

            (n)    Other Provisions.    Option agreements executed pursuant to the Plan may contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, provided, in the case of Incentive Stock Option, that the provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code or with any of the other terms and conditions of this Plan.

The Company shall promptly notify each Limited Right Holder of the occurrence of any Change in Control. Limited Rights may not be exercised under any circumstances

until the expiration of six months following the date of grant of the Limited Right. In the event of any Change in Control, each outstanding Limited Right will be exercisable for a period of 60 days following the date of occurrence of such event; provided, however, that if the event constituting the Change in Control occurs prior to the expiration of six months following the date of grant of a Limited Right, then such Limited Right shall be exercisable only during the 60 days following expiration of such six-month period. A Limited Right shall remain exercisable during the applicable exercise period described in this Section 3 even if the Limited Right Holder ceases to be a member of the Board after a Change in Control and before the end of such exercise period.

Upon the exercise or termination of a Related Right, whether due to expiration, cessation of directorship, or otherwise, Limited Rights granted with respect thereto shall terminate to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Related Right was exercised or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a Related Right is accelerated or terminated, then the corresponding Limited Right shall terminate when it otherwise would have terminated unless and until the Related Right is exercised.

        5.    Nonassignability of Limited Rights.    No Limited Right shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Limited Right Holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Limited Right Holder, a Limited Right shall be exercisable only by the Limited Right Holder or the Limited Right Holder's guardian or legal representative.

        6.    Exercise of Limited Rights; Payment.    Limited Rights may be exercised only by written notice from the Limited Right Holder to the Company stating the number of Limited Rights being exercised.

For purposes hereof, the term "person" refers to an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein.
