for Earning Awards. Amounts are not earned under an Award unless and until all conditions stated in this Plan, in the Statement of Performance Measures and Performance Targets and in the Participant’s applicable Notice of LTIP Award have been satisfied. The issuing of a Notice of LTIP Award is not a guarantee of payment and does not signify that a Participant has earned any amount under the Award covered by that Notice of LTIP Award.

the Participant actively provides employment services to the Company for at least two-thirds of the number of business days during the applicable calendar year (or applicable part thereof) of the Performance Period. A Participant on a leave of absence, other than a legally protected leave of absence, whether paid
or unpaid, approved or not approved, shall not be considered to be actively providing services to the Company while on such leave or absence. The Committee or CEO, as applicable, in its or his or her sole discretion, will determine the extent, if any, to which a Participant has been actively providing employment services to the Company during any calendar year during a Performance Period;
(d)
at all times during the Performance Period and thereafter until the date all amounts earned under the Award are paid to the Participant, or such later date as may be specified in this Plan,
the Participant:
(i)
has materially complied with all Company policies and procedures and all agreements between the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate (including, without limitation, nondisclosure, noncompetition, nonsolicitation agreements and the requirements of Sections 11.5 and 11.6);
(ii)
has not committed gross neglect or a willful material breach of his or her principal employment responsibilities or duties to the

9
(iv)

not committed fraud in the course of the Participant’s employment with the Company, nor materially breached any other obligation to the Company or any Affiliate.
A Participant who fails to satisfy any one or more of the conditions set forth above in this Section 4.2(d) for earning amounts under the Award shall automatically have the Award identified in his or her then outstanding Notices of LTIP Award permanently cancelled without any further payments under such Award. Furthermore, the Company will be entitled to a return of any amounts previously paid under the Award with respect to which any of the conditions were not satisfied.
(e) the
Participant is in good standing;
(f)
the Participant has achieved or exceeded expectations for the applicable calendar year of the Performance Period;

if requested by the Committee or CEO, the Participant has certified in writing to the Committee or CEO that he or she has satisfied each of the above conditions.
4.3 Maximum Payout Opportunity. In any calendar year of a Performance Period covered by an Award, the Participant will have the ability to earn up to 250% of the target incentive opportunity under such Award for such calendar year based on the level of achievement of the Performance Measures set forth in the Statement of Performance Measures and Performance Targets applicable
to such Award for such calendar year; provided, however, the Participant may earn an amount in excess of 150% of the target incentive opportunity for any calendar year only if each of the financial Performance Measures for the applicable calendar year are achieved at 100% or greater.
4.4 Return of Payouts. Except for a failure to meet the conditions set forth in 4.2(d), in no event will a Participant have to return to the Company in a subsequent year any amount that has been earned in a prior year under an Award.
4.5 Forfeiture. Any portion of an Award that has not been earned at the end of the applicable Performance Period will be forfeited. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, if the Participant
ceases to be employed by the Company at any time prior to any portion of an Award becoming earned, any portion of the Award that has not been earned as of the date of such termination of employment will be immediately, and without further action, forfeited.
10
4.6 Termination of Employment. Except to the extent required under Section 3.3 or Section 10.2, a Participant whose employment with the Company terminates for
any or no reason, including, without limitation, voluntary resignation, or termination with or without Cause, shall thereafter not be entitled to any further payments under any Award.
4.7 Termination Due to Death or Disability.
(a)
Death. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, if a Participant's employment with the Company terminates due to his or her death, an amount equal to the amount of any payment(s) the Participant would have received pursuant to Section 5.1(a) for the calendar year in which he dies under his or her Award(s) had his employment
with the Company actually continued through the date of payment shall be paid in cash to the Participant's estate within the time frame set forth in Section 5.1(a)(ii).
(b) Disability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, if a Participant's employment with the Company terminates due to his or her Disability, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the amount of any payment(s) he would have received pursuant to Section 5.1(a) for the calendar year in which he becomes Disabled under his or her Award(s) had his employment with the Company actually continued
through the date of payment. Payment of this amount, if any, shall be made in cash to the Participant within the time frame set forth in Section 5.1(a)(ii).
ARTICLE 5 PAYMENTS UNDER AWARDS
5.1 Payments Under Award.

ARTICLE 6 UNFUNDED PLAN
6.1 Unfunded Benefits. The amounts payable to or with respect to a Participant under this Plan for a year are to be paid strictly from the general assets
of the Company. All amounts payable under the Awards granted under this Plan are mere unfunded, unsecured liabilities of the Company.

7.1 Authority of Committee. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Committee shall be solely responsible for and control the operation and administration of the Plan and shall have the power

(a)
resolve and determine all disputes or questions arising under the Plan, including the power to determine the rights of the Participants and their Awards, and to remedy any ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions in the Plan, and generally direct the administration of the Plan.

(f) make a determination that a change in the business operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company,
the manner in which it conducts business or other events or circumstances render the Performance Measures or Targets unsuitable and may modify such Performance Measures or the related Performance Targets in whole or in part.
7.2 Delegation. The Committee shall have the power and authority to delegate from time to time all or any part of its duties, powers, or responsibilities under the Plan, both ministerial and discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person or committee, and to revoke any such delegation of duties, powers, or responsibilities.

and any Notice of LTIP Award, by written instrument from the Company or Committee, at any time and with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, and all parties hereto or thereto or claiming any interest hereunder or thereunder shall be bound by such amendment and any such amendment may apply to Notices of LTIP Award that are outstanding when the amendment is adopted as well as to Notices of LTIP Award issued subsequent to the amendment; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive a Participant of any amounts that have been earned under an Award prior to the date of the amendment by satisfying the requirements of Article 4, the terms and conditions stated in his or her Notice of LTIP Award and the Statement of Performance Measures and Performance Targets, and, as applicable, the requirements of Section 10.2 and all
13
other
applicable requirements. A Participant’s continued employment with the Company after the date of any such amendments shall constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions of any such amendments.
ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION

Termination of the Plan or any Notice of LTIP Award shall not deprive a Participant of any amounts that have been earned under an Award prior to the date the Plan or Notice of LTIP Award was terminated by satisfying the requirements of Article 4, the terms

ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Limitations
on Liability.

In no event shall the Committee, the Board, any employee, officer, director, representative or stockholder of the Company, its Parent or of any Affiliate thereof, be liable to any person on account of any claim arising by reason of the provisions of the Plan or of any instrument or instruments implementing its provisions.
14
11.2 Tax
Cap/Golden Parachute. In the event any amount payable to a Participant hereunder constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the amount payable under the Award to such Participant shall be either (a) paid in full, or (b) paid to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such amount being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by the Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the greater net value, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such payment amount may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree in writing, all determinations required to be made under this Section
11.2, including the manner and amount of any reduction in the Participant’s payments hereunder, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accounting firm immediately prior to the event giving rise to such payment (the “Accounting Firm”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 11.2, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request to make a determination under this Section 11.2. The Accounting Firm shall
provide its written report to the Committee and the Participant which shall include information regarding methodology. The Company shall bear all costs the Accounting Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 11.2.
11.3 Construction. If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal, void, or inoperative, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan. Such provision shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal, invalid or inoperative provision had never been included herein. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the ability of the Company or the Committee to administer, amend
or terminate the Plan pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 9.1. For all purposes of the Plan, where the context admits, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. The Plan is intended to be and at all times shall be interpreted and administered so as to qualify as an unfunded cash incentive payment plan, and no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to give any individual any right in any assets of the Company which right is greater than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
11.4 Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor any amendment or modifications of this Plan, nor the granting of any Award, nor the issuance of any
Notice of LTIP Award, nor the payment of any amount under any Award shall be construed as an employment contract, or as giving to any employee any right to be employed by the Company on other than an at-will basis or to be employed with a specific title or in a specific position at the Company, or as modifying the terms of any employment contract (if any) between an employee and the Company.
11.5 Confidentiality. Participants shall keep confidential
and shall not share with anyone the Performance Measures or Performance Targets set with respect to any Notice of LTIP Award
15
issued, and the Company’s achievement, failure to achieve or progress towards achieving a Performance Goal, all of which are part of the Company’s proprietary corporate information.
11.6 Covenant Not to Compete and Not to Solicit. Participant shall
not, during the term of Participant’s employment with Company and for a period of one year immediately following the termination of such employment for any reason whatsoever (the “Restricted Period”), either directly or indirectly, with or without compensation, individually or as an employee, broker, agent, consultant, contractor, advisor, solicitor, greater than 5% stockholder, trust beneficiary, proprietor, partner, or person interested in, affiliated with or rendering services to any other entity (a) engage in, provide or offer to provide, or assist anyone in providing, services to or for a Competitor; (b) consult with, act as agent for, or otherwise assist any competitor to compete or prepare to compete with Company (c) take any action to divert from Company any opportunity within the scope of its then business; (d) solicit, hire or otherwise engage any person employed by Company to perform services for Participant or any other person; or (e) solicit,
divert, or in any manner persuade or attempt to persuade any Company customer or supplier to discontinue its relationship with Company. For purposes of this paragraph, “Competitor” shall mean any person or entity in a business that provides a product or service that is substantially the same as or similar to any products or services which are, during Participant’s employment with Company either (i) developed marketed or otherwise commercially exploited by Company or (ii) actually or demonstrably anticipated to be developed, marketed, or commercially exploited by Company. The covenants in this paragraph shall be limited to the geographical areas where the Company offers services. Participant acknowledges that the covenants in the above paragraph are reasonable in scope, area and duration and are necessary to further Company’s legitimate interests. Participant represents
that he or she has sufficient alternative means of support so that observing these covenants will not prevent Participant from earning a livelihood or supporting dependents. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit, invalidate or amend any covenant not to compete, restrictive covenant or agreement not to solicit which has been previously agreed to by Participant. The requirements under this section 11.6 pertaining to the covenant not to complete shall not be deemed applicable to employees who are based in California and are California residents.
11.7 Arbitration. The Company and each Participant shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any and all claims and disputes in accordance with any dispute resolution adopted by the
Company before resorting to any other dispute resolution procedure. If the claim or dispute is not resolved in that manner and involves any rights or obligations under this Plan other than those under Sections 11.5 and 11.6 then the claim or dispute will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then-current American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) national rules for the resolution of employment disputes by arbitration, except as modified herein. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole neutral arbitrator who has had both training and experience as an arbitrator of employee compensation matters. If the Company and the Participant cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the arbitrator will be selected by the AAA applying the criteria in this provision. Reasonable discovery will be permitted and the arbitrator may decide any issue as to discovery. The arbitrator
may decide any issue as to whether or as to the extent to which, any dispute is subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 11.7. The arbitrator may award only relief at law contemplated under this Plan and the arbitrator may not award
16
incidental, consequential or punitive damages, attorney’s fees or any form or equitable relief, to either party. The arbitrator must base the arbitration award on the provisions of this Section 11.7 and applicable law and must render the award in writing, including an explanation of the reasons for the award. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction
of the matter, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit will apply to the commencement of an arbitration. The arbitrator’s fees will be paid in equal portions by the Company and the Participant, unless the Company agrees to pay all such fees. Nothing herein shall be deemed to bar or limit the Company’s right to bring legal action or seek equitable relief in the courts for Participant’s violation or alleged violation of Sections 11.5 or 11.6.
11.8 Venue. Any arbitration, legal or equitable action or any proceeding arising directly,
indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from this Plan or any provision hereof, shall exclusively be filed and adjudicated in King County, Washington and no other venue.
11.9 Applicable Law. The Plan and all claims relating to the Awards under the Plan shall be interpreted, construed, administered and reformed pursuant to the law of contracts of the state of Washington.
11.10 Headings. The section headings appearing in this Plan shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify, or in any way affect, the scope, meaning or intent of this Plan.
11.11 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
The Company intends that this Plan and the payments provided hereunder 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 this Plan, the Company intends that this Plan and any payments hereunder comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A so that the income inclusion provisions of Code Section 409A (a) (1) do not apply to the Participants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Plan shall be interpreted, operated
and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions, and the Plan will be deemed to be amended, and any deferrals and distribution elections hereunder shall be deemed to be modified, to the extent the Committee determines to be necessary and effective to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and to avoid or mitigate the imposition of additional taxes under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B)(i), while preserving to the maximum extent possible the essential economics of the Participants' rights under the Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary:
(a)
If, at the time a Participant's employment terminates, the Participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1
17
(i) and determined using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology
describe in such regulation, then, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the tax described in Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B)(i), all or a portion of any amounts payable under this Plan (and the Awards granted hereunder) on account of such termination of employment that would (but for this provision) be payable within 6 months following the date of termination shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date on which the Participant's employment terminates or, if earlier, upon the Participant's death; and
(b)
a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Plan providing for the payment of amounts which are subject to Code Section 409A upon or following a termination
of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein, and, for purposes of any such provision of this Plan, references to “terminate,”“termination,”“termination of employment” and like terms shall mean separation from service.
11.12 Survival of Provisions. Termination of the Plan shall not be deemed to terminate Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8 and 11.9.
11.13 Successors and Assigns. Unless earlier terminated by the Compensation Committee under Section 9.1 this Plan shall be binding on Company’s successors and assigns.
11.14 Governing
Document. The Plan shall be the governing document regarding interpretation of the Plan and in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan or any other document, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
