Right to Severance Benefits.

Subject to Section 4.1(b), the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company Severance Benefits, if the Executive’s employment with the Company shall end for any reason specified in Section 4.2, and the Executive is not (i) offered Comparable Employment by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company whether in a salaried, hourly, temporary or full-time capacity, or (ii) offered a contract to serve as a consultant or contractor by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company containing terms and conditions reasonably deemed to be Comparable Employment, or (iii) offered Comparable Employment or a contract to serve as a consultant or contractor by an entity acquiring assets of the Company or the business in which the Executive was employed containing terms and conditions reasonably deemed to be Comparable Employment.

If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as a result of the acquisition (either through the sale of assets or the sale of stock) or the outsourcing of the services previously provided internally by Company employees of the unit in which the Executive was employed, and the Executive is offered Comparable Employment by the acquiring entity, the Executive is not eligible to receive Severance Benefits hereunder.

The Executive is not eligible to receive both severance benefits under the CIC Agreement and Severance Benefits hereunder. Accordingly, if the Executive receives severance benefits under the CIC Agreement, he shall not receive Severance Benefits hereunder. However, if the Executive suffers a Qualifying Termination, and if the Company has undergone a CIC such that the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination falls within the window period described in Section 4.2 of the CIC Agreement, the Executive’s total Severance Benefits shall equal the amounts described as severance benefits under the CIC Agreement (potentially requiring additional payments to the extent the amounts already paid as Severance Benefits hereunder do not equal the amounts payable as severance benefits under the CIC Agreement).

Comparable Employment for purposes of paragraphs 4.1(a) and (b) above means employment terms that do not:

result in a material reduction in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities existing immediately prior to the termination;

require the Executive to be based at a location that is at least 50 miles farther from the Executive’s primary residence immediately prior to the

termination than is such residence from the Executive’s business location immediately prior to the termination, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business obligations immediately prior to the termination;

include a material reduction in the Executive’s annual salary, benefits coverage in the aggregate, or level of participation in the Company’s short- or long-term incentive compensation plans available to the Executive immediately prior to the termination; provided, however, that the reductions in the level of benefits coverage or participation in incentive compensation plans shall be considered to be Comparable Employment if such reductions are substantially consistent with the average level of benefits coverage or participation in incentive plans of other executive officers with positions commensurate with the Executive’s position at the Company, its subsidiary or the acquiring company.

Qualifying Termination. An involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, authorized by the Company’s Senior Vice President overseeing Human Resources, for reasons other than Cause, mandatory Retirement under the Company’s applicable policies, or the Executive’s death, Disability, or voluntary termination of employment (whether by Retirement or otherwise) at any time other than within twenty-four (24) full calendar months following the effective date of a CIC shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits to the Executive under this Agreement.  

Description of Severance Benefits.  Subject to the conditions of Section 4.6, in the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide him with the following:

An amount equal to two (2) times the highest rate of the Executive’s annualized Base Salary rate in effect at any time up to and including the Effective Date of Termination.

An amount equal to two (2) the Executive’s target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs.

An amount equal to the Executive’s unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation pay through the last day the Executive worked.

An amount equal to the Executive’s unpaid actual annual bonus, paid for the plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in then-existing fiscal year through the Effective Date of Termination and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).  Any payments hereunder are in lieu of bonuses otherwise payable under the Company’s applicable annual incentive plans.

A lump sum payment of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (net of required payroll and income tax withholding) in order to assist the Executive in paying for replacement health and welfare coverage for a reasonable period following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination.  

Termination for Cause or by the Executive. If the Executive’s employment is terminated either (i) by the Company for Cause or (ii) by the Executive, the Company shall pay the Executive his full Base Salary and accrued vacation through the last day worked, at the rate then in effect, plus all other amounts to which the Executive is entitled under any compensation plans of the Company, at the time such payments are due, and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.  

Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company under this Article 4 shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination, which shall be delivered to the Executive no later than the Effective Date of Termination, unless the Executive is terminated for Cause, in which case no Notice of Termination is required.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice that shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

Delivery of Non-Competition and Release Agreement. The payment of Severance Benefits is conditioned on the Executive’s timely execution of the Non-Competition and Release Agreement. The Company will deliver the Non-Competition and Release Agreement when it provides a Notice of Termination to the Executive. The Non-Competition and Release Agreement shall be deemed effective upon the expiration of the required waiting periods under any applicable state and/or federal laws, as more specifically described therein.

Removal from Representative Boards. In the event the terminating Executive occupies any board of directors seats solely as a Company representative, as a condition to receiving the severance set forth in Section 4.3, the Executive shall immediately resign such position upon his termination of employment with the Company and in any event by the deadline for returning the Non-Competition and Release Agreement described in Section 4.6, unless specifically requested in writing by the Company otherwise.

Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 4.3(a), (b), (c) and (e) shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum, subject to the Non-Competition and Release Agreement described in Section 4.6, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond thirty (30) days from the later of the Effective Date of Termination and the successful expiration of the waiting periods described in Section 4.6 and in no event later than the payment deadline for short-term deferrals under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision).  The Severance Benefit described in Section 4.3(d) shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum, subject to the Non-Competition and Release Agreement described in Section 4.6, as soon as practicable following the end of the year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs and in no event later than the payment deadline for short-term deferrals under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision), subject to any deferral election by the Executive under an available deferred compensation plan that is applicable to such amount.

Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all taxes as legally shall be required (including, without limitation, any United States federal taxes and any other state, city, or local taxes).

Payment Obligations Absolute. Except as provided in this Article 6 and in Article 7, the Company’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right that the Company may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Except as provided in this Article 6 and in Article 7, each and every payment made hereunder by the Company shall be final, and the Company shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whosoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever.  

Contractual Rights to Benefits. Subject to Section 6.3, this Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he may become entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.

Forfeiture of Severance Benefits and Other Payments.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if it is determined by the Company that the Executive has violated any of the restrictive covenants contained in the Executive’s Non-Competition and Release Agreement, the Executive shall be required to repay to the Company an amount equal to the economic value of all Severance Benefits and other payments already provided to the Executive under this Agreement and the Executive shall forever forfeit the Executive’s rights to any unpaid Severance Benefits and other payments hereunder.  The Severance Benefits shall be subject to (a) forfeiture provisions in any other agreements between the Executive and the Company and (b) any recoupment, clawback or similar policy of the Company as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of previously paid compensation.

Claims Procedure.  The Executive may file a written claim with the Company’s Senior Vice President overseeing Human Resources, who shall consider such claim and notify the Executive in writing of his decision with respect thereto within ninety (90) days (or within such longer period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, as the Senior Vice President overseeing Human Resources determines is necessary to review the claim, provided that the Senior Vice President overseeing Human Resources notifies the Executive in writing of the extension within the original ninety (90) day period).  If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Executive may appeal such denial to the Committee, provided the Executive does so in writing within sixty (60) days of receiving the determination by the Senior Vice President overseeing Human Resources.  The Committee shall consider the appeal and notify the Executive in writing of its decision with respect thereto within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days as the Committee determines is necessary to review the appeal, provided that the Committee notifies the Executive in writing of the extension within the original sixty (60) day period).  

Finality of Determination.  The determination of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of this Agreement shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all persons and shall be given the greatest deference permitted by law.

Successors to the Company. This Agreement shall be binding on the successors of the Company.

Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s Beneficiary. If the Executive has not named a Beneficiary, then such amounts shall be paid to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

Employment Status. Except as may be provided under any other agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will,” and may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time, subject to applicable law.  

Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more persons or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee and pursuant to such other procedures as the Committee may decide.  If no such designation is on file with the Company at the time of the Executive’s death, or if no designated Beneficiaries survive the Executive for more than fourteen (14) days, any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.

Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. Further, the captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force and effect.

Modification. Except as provided in Article 1, no provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged following the Effective Date of Termination unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized member of the Committee, or by the respective parties’ legal representatives and successors.  

Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall completely supersede and replace any and all portions of any contracts, plans, provisions, or practices pertaining to severance entitlements owing to the Executive from the Company other than the CIC Agreement, and is in lieu of any notice requirement, policy, or practice. As such, the Severance Benefits described herein shall serve as the Executive’s sole recourse with respect to termination of employment by the Company other than a termination that entitles the Executive to severance benefits under the terms of the CIC Agreement.  In addition, Severance Benefits shall not be counted as “compensation,” or any equivalent term, for purposes of determining benefits under other agreements, plans, provisions, or practices owing to the Executive from the Company, except to the extent expressly provided therein.  Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, the Executive’s rights under all such agreements, plans, provisions, and practices continue to be subject to the respective terms and conditions thereof.

Applicable Law. To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States, the laws of the state of Washington shall be the controlling law in all matters relating to this Agreement.
