| II. | AGREEMENT |
1. Grant of Option. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the
Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the
number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the
Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which
is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 17(c) of the Plan, in the event of a
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is
intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code.
Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option
shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).
2. Exercise of Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the
Plan and this Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Option is a 409A Award, it
shall only be exercisable in accordance with Section 14 of the Plan.
(b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the
election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The
Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised
Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully
executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such
exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the
Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised
with respect to such Shares.
3. Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall,
if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option,
deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B.
4. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not offer, pledge,
sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to
sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any
swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by
Optionee (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the
representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act.
Optionee agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by
the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to
give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the
underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Optionee shall provide, within
ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such
representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities
pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in
this Section shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form
S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating
solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated
in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of
Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one
hundred eighty (180) day period. Optionee agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares
acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section.
5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
(a) cash or check;
(b) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by
the Company in connection with the Plan; or
(c) surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company,
either directly or indirectly, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the
date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.
6. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the
Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon
such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a
violation of any Applicable Law.
7. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
8. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the
Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the
terms of this Option.
9. Tax Obligations.
(a) Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the
Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all
Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to
the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the
exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of
exercise.
(b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to
Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares
acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of
Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify
the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income
tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee.
10. Section 409A. Optionee acknowledges that, under Section 409A of the Code, receipt
of a stock option with an exercise price per share that is less than the fair market value of the
stock subject to the option at the time of grant can result in significant adverse tax consequences
to the Optionee, including without limitation the imputation of taxable income to the Optionee on
the difference between the exercise price and fair market value as the option vests and the
imposition of an additional excise tax on the Optionee. The Company does not make any
representation to Optionee that the Exercise Price of this Option was equal to the fair market
value per share of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. Participant acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Company, nor its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys, agents,
successors or assigns, shall have any liability to Optionee should it be determined hereafter that
the Exercise Price of this Option is less than the fair market value per share of the Shares as of
the Date of Grant. If Optionee desires advice regarding Section 409A of the Code with respect to
this Option, Optionee should consult with his or her own tax and/or financial advisors. Optionee
acknowledges that he or she is under no obligation to accept this Option.
11. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.
The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of
the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified
adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law
rules of Washington.
12. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE
PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION
OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD,
FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE
COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR
WITHOUT CAUSE.
Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar
with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms
and provisions thereof. Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had
an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully understands
all provisions of the Option. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final
all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or
this Option. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence
address indicated below.
