Participants’ rights against the Company with respect to severance and other benefits provided under this Plan shall be those of general unsecured creditors.

The notice shall provide the specific provision or provisions in this Plan upon which the Participant relied in making his or her claim; and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such claim. The failure by the Participant to include in the notice any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Constructive Termination shall not waive any right of the Participant hereunder or preclude the Participant from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his or her rights hereunder. The Successor must respond in writing within forty-five (45) days after the Participant’s notice is given, either (i) agreeing with Participant’s claim of Constructive Termination, or (ii) indicating the specific reason or reasons for its denial of Participant’s claim under this Plan.

12. 1 Administrative Procedures. The Plan Administrator, in accordance with the terms and intent of the Plan, shall administer the Plan and shall have full discretionary authority to interpret, construe and apply its provision and to make determinations as to the Participant's rights to participate in the Plan and the timing and amount of benefits, if any, owed to the Participant (or, in the case of the Participant's death, his or her beneficiary or estate). The Plan Administrator, in accordance with the terms and intent of the Plan, shall further adopt such rules and regulations, as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.    

12. 2 Benefit Determinations. Within forty-five (45) days following the Participant's termination from the Company, the Plan Administrator or its designee shall notify Participant of his or her eligibility or non-eligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Plan Administrator determines that the Participant is not eligible for benefits, the notice shall set forth: (i) the specific reasons for such denial; (ii) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Participant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed; and (iv) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to have the claim reviewed.     

12.3 Appeal. If the Plan Administrator determines that the Participant is not eligible for benefits, or if the Participant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Participant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Plan Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt of the benefit determination notice issued by the Plan Administrator. Participant's petition shall state the specific reasons that the Participant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. The Plan Administrator shall promptly, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the petition, notify the Participant in writing of its decision on the appeal. Such notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant, and shall state specifically the basis of the Plan Administrator's decision and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. The Plan Administrator's decision on appeal shall be a final administrative determination on the claim. Should the Participant remain dissatisfied with the Plan Administrator's determination, Participant shall have the right to seek resolution of the dispute pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof.

Participants in the Plan are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all Participants shall be entitled to:

13.1 Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits. Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all documents governing the Plan,

including insurance contracts, and copies of all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports and plan descriptions. Obtain copies of all documents governing the operation of the Plan and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

13. 2 Prudent Action by Plan Fiduciaries. In addition to creating rights for Plan Participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called "fiduciaries" of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of Participants and their beneficiaries. No one, including the Company, may fire or otherwise discriminate against a Participant in any way to prevent him or her from obtaining a benefit under this Plan or exercising his or her rights under ERISA.

13.3 Enforce Participant Rights. Under ERISA, there are steps a Participant can take to enforce his or her rights under the Plan. For instance, if a Participant requests materials from the Plan and does not receive them within 30 days, the Participant may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay the Participant up to $110 a day until the Participant receives the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If a Participant has a claim for benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, the Participant has a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. In addition, the Participant may file suit in a state or federal court. If a Participant is discriminated against for asserting his or her rights under the Plan, Participant may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If the Participant loses, the court may order the Participant to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds that the claim was frivolous.

13.4 Assistance With Questions About Plan Benefits. If Participants have any questions about this Plan, they should contact the Plan Administrator. If Participants have any questions about this statement or about their rights under ERISA, or they need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, they should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. A Participant may also obtain certain publications about his or her rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

14.1 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

14.2 No Assignment of Benefits. The rights of any person to payments or benefits under this Plan shall not be made subject to option or assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law (except as set forth in Section 14.3), including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any action in violation of this Section 14.2 shall be void.

14.3 Payment to Estate, Guardian or Fiduciary. The Executive Continuity Bonus Benefits payable to a Participant pursuant to this Plan, if the Participant subsequently dies or becomes disabled before payment is completed shall be payable to the Participant’s estate or to his or her guardian or other fiduciary, respectively. If the Participant’s death or disability occurs after he or she is or becomes entitled to any benefits hereunder then the Participant’s estate, guardian or fiduciary shall have the right to accept and obtain all of the Participants rights hereunder. If the Participant has filed the notice of Constructive Termination pursuant to Section 11.3, then the Company must respond to the Participant’s estate, guardian or other fiduciary, as the case may be, in lieu of the Participant, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Participant’s claim. If the Participant’s death or disability occurs (i) within the sixty (60) day period for the Participant to give notice of Constructive Termination under Section 11.3, or (ii) after the Participant’s termination for other than Cause or voluntary termination of employment by Participant (other than a Constructive Termination), then the Participant’s estate, guardian or other fiduciary shall

have ninety (90) days after the Participant’s death or disability, as the case may be, to give any written notice to the Company required hereunder. In either case of Constructive Termination, the procedures of Section 11.3 shall apply with the estate, guardian or other fiduciary acting for the Participant with respect to the claim of Constructive Termination.

14.4 Participant's Cooperation. The Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Plan Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder and taking such other actions as may be requested by the Plan Administrator.

14.5 Confidentiality. Participant shall keep the terms of the Plan and the Agreement Regarding Executive Continuity Bonus Benefits confidential and shall not disclose or characterize any of the terms to anyone (except as may be required by law) other than to members of his or her immediate family, his or her attorney, and persons assisting him or her in financial planning or income tax preparation, provided that Participant shall require these people to keep such information confidential.

14.6 ERISA Plan. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded program maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for "a select group of management or highly compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

14.7 Captions. The captions of the sections and subsections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

14.8 Governing Law. This Plan shall be administered in the United States of America, and its validity, construction, and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, except to the extent preempted by ERISA, without regard to its choice of law provisions.

14.9    Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of any Participant).

14.10    Modification or Termination of Plan. To the extent permitted by law, this Plan may be modified or terminated at any time by the Compensation Committee upon written notification to Participants.
