1.
Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, options to purchase [] shares of Common Stock (“Stock Options”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock Options are intended to be Nonqualified Stock Options.
2.
Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Stock Option is $[] per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price is no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

4.
Termination; Forfeiture; Expiration.
(a)
Termination of Service. Any unvested Stock Options will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration upon a termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason.

Period of Exercise.
(a)
Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the vested Stock Options at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:
(i)
the Expiration Date;
(ii)
the date that is twelve (12) months following termination of the Participant’s Service due to death or Disability;
(iii)

(iv)
the date of termination of the Participant’s Service for Cause.
(b)
Extension of Termination Date. If, following the Participant’s termination of Service for any reason, the exercise of the Stock Options is prohibited because such exercise would violate applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities law or applicable rules of any securities exchange or Company policy, then the expiration of the Stock Options shall be tolled until the earlier of (i) date that is thirty (30) days after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Stock Options would be in violation of such registration or other securities requirements or Company policy or (ii) the Expiration Date.
6.
Manner of Exercise.
(a)
Election to Exercise. The Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise all or any part of the vested Stock Options by delivering to the Company an executed Stock Option exercise notice in such form as is approved by the Committee from time to time, which shall set forth: (i) the Participant’s election to exercise the Stock Options, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased, (iii) any restrictions imposed on the shares, and (iv) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding the Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws.

(b)
Withholding Requirements. The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, provincial and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld, and to deduct or withhold from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement to satisfy such withholding obligation, or in the sole discretion of the Committee, such greater amount necessary to satisfy the Participant’s maximum expected tax liability, provided that such withholding does not result in adverse tax or accounting consequences to the Company (collectively, “Withheld Taxes”); provided further, that any obligations to pay Withheld Taxes may be satisfied in the manner in which the Exercise Price is permitted to be paid under Section 6(c) or any other manner permitted by the Plan.
(c)
Payment of Exercise Price. The entire Exercise Price of the Stock Options shall be payable in full at the time of exercise. All or part of the Exercise Price and any Withheld Taxes may be paid as follows to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations:
(i)
Cash or Check. In cash or by certified or bank check.
(ii)
Net Exercise. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Stock Options by the number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Exercise Price and/or Withheld Taxes, as applicable.
(iii)
Surrender of Shares of Common Stock. In each instance, at the sole discretion of the Committee, by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, shares of Common Stock that are already owned by the Participant free and clear of any restriction or limitation, unless the Committee specifically agrees in writing to accept such shares of Common Stock subject to such restriction or limitation. Such shares of Common Stock will be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and will be valued by the Company at Fair Market Value on the date of the applicable exercise of the Stock Options, or to the extent applicable, on the date the Withheld Taxes are to be determined. The Participant will not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, shares of Common Stock in payment of the Exercise Price (or Withheld Taxes) if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Stock Options for financial reporting purposes that otherwise would not have been recognized.
(iv)
Brokered Cashless Exercise. To the extent permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, and subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, from the proceeds of a sale through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction on the date of exercise of some or all of the shares of Common Stock to which the exercise relates. In that case, the Participant will execute a notice

7.
Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information and Restricted Activities. In consideration of the Stock Options granted under this Agreement,
(a)
At all times during and following Participant’s Service, Participant agrees that he or she will not, either directly or indirectly, and Participant will not permit any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant to, either directly or indirectly, (i) divulge, use, disclose (in any way or in any manner, including by posting on the Internet), reproduce, distribute, or reverse engineer or otherwise provide the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, reporter, author, producer or similar person or entity; (ii) take any action that would make available Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to the general public in any form; (iii) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to solicit any client or prospective client of the Company; or (iv) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information for solicitation or marketing for any service or product or on Participant’s behalf or on behalf of any entity other than the Company with which Participant may become associated, except (i) as required in connection with the performance of such Participant’s duties to the Company, (ii) as required to be included in any report, statement or testimony requested by any municipal, state or national regulatory body having jurisdiction over Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (iii) as required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) to the extent necessary in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or governmental request applicable to Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (v) as required in connection with an audit by any taxing authority, or (vi) as permitted by the express written consent of the Board.

promptly notify the Company of such pending disclosure and assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in seeking a protective order or in objecting to such request, summons or subpoena with regard to the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. If the Company does not obtain such relief after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, Participant (or such Covered Entity) may disclose that portion of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information which counsel to such party advises such party that they are legally compelled to disclose. In such cases, Participant shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information so disclosed. This provision applies without limitation to unauthorized use of Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in any medium, writings of any kind containing such information or materials, including books, and articles, blogs, websites, or writings of any other kind, or film, videotape, or audiotape. If, and only if, the controlling state law applicable to Participant requires a time limit to be placed on restrictions concerning the post-employment use of Confidential Information for the restriction to be enforceable, then this restriction on Participant’s use of Confidential Information that is not a Trade Secret will expire two (2) years after Participant’s employment or other association with the Company ends. This time limit will not apply to Confidential Information that qualifies as a Trade Secret. The Company’s trade secrets will remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.
(b)
Notwithstanding Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 7, Participant understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Participant understands that in the event it is determined that disclosure of the Trade Secrets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, Participant shall be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or interfere with Participant’s right, without notice to or authorization of the Company, to communicate and cooperate in good faith with a Government Agency for the purpose of (i) reporting a possible violation of any U.S. federal, state, or local law or regulation, (ii) participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted or managed by any Government Agency, including by providing documents or other information, or (iii) filing a charge or complaint with a Government Agency. For purposes of this Agreement, “Government Agency” means the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial

(d)
Participant understands that nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Participant from disclosing Participant’s own compensation. Participant understands that if Participant is a nonsupervisory employee, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Participant from disclosing Participant’s or others’ terms and conditions of employment, compensation, hours or working conditions with coworkers or union representatives or exercising protected rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by the Agreement.
(e)
Participant understands that nothing in this Agreement prevents Participant from discussing or disclosing information about conduct that Participant reasonably believes is unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, a wage-and-hour violation, or sexual assault, that is recognized as unlawful under state, federal or common law, or that is recognized as against a clear mandate of public policy, occurring in the workplace, at work-related events coordinated by or through the Company, or between employees, or between the Company and an employee, whether on or off the employment premises.
8.
Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation; and Non-Disparagement. In further consideration of the Stock Options granted under this Agreement:
(a)
Non-Competition. During the term of Participant’s Service and for 12 months following the termination of Participant’s Service (the “Restricted Period”), Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, whether for pay or otherwise (i) form or assist others in forming, be employed by, render services of an executive, advertising, marketing, sales, administrative, supervisory technical, research, purchasing or consulting nature, or otherwise assist or lend Participant’s name, counsel or assistance to, any person or entity that engages in a business that competes with or intends to compete with the Business.
(b)
Non-Solicitation. During the term of Participant’s Service and during the Restricted Period, Participant agrees that Participant will not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit any customer or, where allowed by law, Prospective Customer of the Company to whom Participant provided services, with or for whom Participant transacted business, or about whom Participant learned Trade Secrets or Confidential Information during the six (6) months prior to Participant’s termination, in each case, for the purpose of providing goods or services competitive with the Business.

(c)
Non-Solicitation of Participants. During the Restricted Period, Participant agrees that he or she will not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, attempt to solicit or attempt to hire any person who is a non-administrative (i.e., non-clerical) employee of the Company, or an employee under Participant’s control, in each case, during the six (6) months prior to Participant’s termination, to apply for or accept employment with any person or entity that provides goods or services competitive with the Business, unless the Company first terminated the employment of such person.
(d)
Participant understands and acknowledges that Sections 8(a),(b) and (c), which contain noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions, shall apply only if and when Participant’s annualized Earnings (as defined in Section 8(e)) exceed one hundred seven thousand three hundred one dollars and four cents ($107,301.04) per year. The dollar amounts specified in this Section 8(d) shall be adjusted annually for inflation in accordance with Chapter 299, Washington State Laws of 2019 (Enacted May 8, 2019).
(e)
"Earnings" shall mean the compensation reflected on box 1 of Participant’s United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-2 from the Company that is paid to Participant over the prior year, or portion thereof for which Participant was employed, annualized and calculated as of the earlier of the date that enforcement of the noncompetition covenant is sought or the date of separation from employment.
(f)
Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, regardless of whether Participant is subject to Sections 8(b) and (c), Participant will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit (including without limitation by recruiting or otherwise making efforts to hire) any employee of the Company to leave the Company, or (ii) solicit any customer of the Company to cease or reduce the extent to which it is doing business with the Company.
(g)
Participant agrees that during the Restriction Period, Participant will inform any entity or person with whom Participant may seek to enter into a business relationship (whether as an owner, employee, independent contractor or otherwise) of Participant’s contractual obligations under this Agreement. Participant also understands and agrees that the Company may, with or without prior notice to Participant and during or after the term of the Participant’s Service, notify third parties of Participant’s agreements and obligations under this Agreement.

(h)
Non-Disparagement.

prospective customers, suppliers, investors, and other associated third-parties. This Section does not, in any way, restrict or impede Participant from exercising Participant’s rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. Participant shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Company immediately after receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit the Company to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion.
9.
Enforcement; Remedies. Participant acknowledges that Participant’s expertise in the Business is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 7 or 8 by Participant will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Participant therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 7 or 8 by Participant cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Participant. For purposes of Sections 7 and 8, “Company” shall specifically include the Company and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. If Participant fails to comply with a restriction in this Agreement that applies for a limited period of time after employment, the time period for that restriction will be extended by the greater of either: one day for each day Participant is found to have violated the restriction, or the length of the legal proceeding necessary to secure enforcement of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that the extension of time does not exceed two years from the date their employment ended, and if this extension would make the restriction unenforceable under applicable law it will not be applied (“Fairness Extension”).
