                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of December 4, 2000 by and between PSC Inc., a
New York corporation ("PSC" or the "Company") and EDWARD BOREY ("Executive").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive as its Chief Executive
Officer to devote full time to the business of PSC, and the Executive agrees to
be so employed.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

     1.  Employment.  PSC hereby employs the Executive as President and Chief
         ----------
Executive Officer effective December 4, 2000 ("Employment Commencement Date").
Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to remain in the employ of
PSC for the Term to perform any and all reasonable and lawful duties prescribed
by PSC's Board of Directors and to abide by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. During the Term, in good faith, Executive shall exert all reasonable
efforts to promote the interests of the Company and shall devote substantially
all of his entire working time, attention and energies to the business of the
Company. Effective as of the Employment Commencement Date, Executive will also
be elected a member of the Company's Board of Directors and will be appointed to
the Board of Director's Executive Committee. Executive shall be permitted to
serve on the board of directors of other companies so long as such service does
not adversely affect his performance under this Agreement and so long as such
other businesses are not competitive with Company.
<PAGE>

     2.  Term of Employment.  The term of employment under this Agreement shall
         ------------------
commence as of the Employment Commencement Date and shall terminate on December
31, 2003 (the "Initial Term"); provided, however that the term of this Agreement
shall be automatically extended for additional one year terms (each an
"Additional Term") upon the end of the Initial Term, or any successor Additional
Term unless either the Executive or the Company shall have given written notice
to the other at least four (4) months prior thereto that the term of this
Agreement shall not be so extended.


     3.  Compensation.
         ------------
         A.   Base Salary.  For all services to be rendered to the Company by
Executive in any capacity, including, without limitation, services as an
officer, director or member of any committee of the Board of Directors and the
performance of any duties assigned to him by the Board of Directors, PSC shall
pay to Executive a salary at the annual rate of not less than $360,000 ("Base
Salary"). The Base Salary of the Executive shall be reviewed annually by the
Board of Directors and may be increased from time to time in the sole discretion
of the Board of Directors. The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with
the customary payroll practices of PSC, subject to such deductions and
withholdings as may be required by law or agreed to by Executive.

         B.  Performance Bonus ("Bonus")

               (i) For calendar year 2001, Executive will be paid a bonus of not
          less than 100% of his Base Salary.  If, and to the extent, PSC exceeds
          the Target established for 2001 under the Company's Management
          Incentive Plan ("MIP"), Executive shall be entitled to a bonus of up
          to an

                                       2
<PAGE>

          additional 50% of Base Salary, as may be determined by the Board of
          Directors.

               (ii) Pursuant to the MIP or any successor plan, for any calendar
          year after 2001 during the Initial Term or the Additional Term, if
          any, if and to the extent PSC achieves its pre-established performance
          goals for such calendar year, Executive shall be entitled to a
          performance bonus for such year in an amount equal to the percentage
          of his then existing Base Salary for such year set forth opposite the
          performance goal percentage below:

          % of Performance Goal Achieved      % of Base Salary
          ------------------------------      ----------------
           80% of Target                      30%
           100% of Target                     100%
           120% of Target                     150%

          To the extent the MIP conflicts with this Agreement with respect to
the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

          C.  Insolvency.  In the event the Company is adjudicated insolvent,
              ----------
Executive shall be entitled to additional compensation to offset the decrease in
the likelihood that there will be any value to the Executive's equity potential
and Bonus potential; accordingly, Executive shall be entitled to a twofold
increase in Base Salary and payment of 2% of the total gross sales of the
Company assets in lieu of the Bonus payments.  If the insolvency is concluded
with a reorganization of the Company and operations resume, then the Executive's
compensation will revert to the provisions of subsections A and B.  These
additional payments are subject to applicable law,

                                       3
<PAGE>

including but not limited to appropriate review by the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee
and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

     Also, in the event the Company is adjudicated insolvent, Executive shall be
entitled, at his discretion, to terminate his employment relationship with
Company upon sixty (60) days' written notice.  If such termination option is
exercised within one year from the Employment Commencement Date, Executive shall
be entitled to a severance payment equal to Executive's Base Salary for one year
and his bonus for one year at 100% of Target.  If such termination option is
exercised after one year from the Employment Commencement Date, Executive shall
be entitled to a severance payment equal to the greater of (a) Executive's Base
Salary and bonuses for the unexpired portion of the Term or (b) Executive's Base
Salary for one year and his bonus for one year at 100% of Target.  Such amount
will be payable in bi-weekly installments.  In addition, for the period during
which Executive is receiving severance payments pursuant to this section 3(C),
the Company will provide Executive with Executive's then current health, dental,
life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits.

     4.  Benefits.  In addition to his Base Salary, Executive shall also be
         --------
entitled throughout the Term and the Additional Term, if any, to all benefits of
full time employees or officers as to which he meets the eligibility
requirements universally applicable to all employees and such other benefits as
may be accorded to other senior executives by written notification from the
Company given from time to time.  The benefits to which Executive is entitled
include those set forth on Exhibit A.  Executive shall also be entitled to four
weeks paid vacation in each calendar year.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     5.  Stock Option.  Pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the
         ------------
"Plan"), PSC hereby grants the Executive a stock option for 500,000 Common
Shares of  PSC at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined
in the Plan) of PSC's shares at the close of business on the Employment
Commencement Date, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Option
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B  If Executive is then an officer of the
Company, on each of January 2, 2002 and January 2, 2003, PSC will grant
Executive a stock option for no less than 75,000 shares pursuant to a stock
option agreement similar in form to the option agreements granted to other
officers of the Company.

     6.  Relocation Expenses.  The Company's headquarters will be in
         -------------------
Portland, Oregon.  Its main facilities will be in Eugene, Oregon.  Executive
will relocate to Portland, Oregon.  The Company will reimburse Executive for
reasonable relocation expenses in the manner and to the extent it shall be
agreed upon by the Company and Executive, after consultation with an outside
compensation consultant.  Such consultation shall take place no later than
December 20, 2000.  Company's reimbursement to Executive will compensate him for
any loss suffered as a result of the sale of his residence and for any
differential in the mortgage interest rate on a principal sum not in excess of
his current mortgage between the mortgage on his current home and the mortgage
on the home to be purchased in the Portland, Oregon area.  Company's
reimbursement will be fully grossed up to reimburse Executive for any federal or
state tax liability incurred as a result of the relocation reimbursement.

     7.  Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that
         ------------------------
Executive will be exposed to Confidential Information, knowledge or data as
described

                                       5
<PAGE>

below and Executive further acknowledges and agrees that such Confidential
Information, knowledge or data is proprietary to and a valuable trade secret of
the Company and that any disclosure or unauthorized use thereof will cause
irreparable harm and loss to the Company. Executive understands that the Company
has invested large sums in developing these materials and it would be difficult
for Executive to develop these same materials from any independent sources
without expenditure of large sums of money and effort. Executive also
acknowledges that any use of the Company's materials other than in the scope of
Executive's employment with the Company would constitute an unlawful use and
taking of the materials from the Company for which the Company would have
remedies against Executive.

          Executive agrees that during the period of Executive's employment by
the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company and at all times
thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or authorize
anyone else to disclose or use or make known for Executive's or another's
benefit any Confidential Information, knowledge, or data of the Company whether
or not patentable or copyrightable, in any way acquired by Executive during
Executive's employment by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the
Company.  Confidential Information, knowledge or data of the Company shall, for
purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, matters not readily
available to the public which are:

          A.  of a technical nature, such as, but not limited to, methods, know-
how, formulae, compositions, drawings, blueprints, compounds, processes,
discoveries, machines, manufacturing procedures, techniques, computer databases,
source codes,

                                       6
<PAGE>

computer codes, designs, programs, prototypes, inventions, computer programs,
and similar items;

          B.  of a business nature such as, but not limited to, information
about sales or lists of customers (including mailing lists), vendors,
competitors, prices, costs, purchasing, profits, markets, sales and marketing
methods, documents, records, contract forms, computer disks containing data or
other materials and information relating to the products, services and business
of the Company, product strengths and weaknesses, business processes, business
and marketing plans and activities, financial information, and personnel
information;

          C.  pertaining to future developments such as, but not limited to,
research and development, or future marketing or merchandising plans or ideas.

          All records (whether in hard copy or digital form), books and computer
discs relating in any manner whatsoever to the Company shall be the exclusive
property of the Company regardless of who actually prepared the original record
or book.  Executive shall not copy or cause to have copied any such records and
books except in the ordinary course of business.  Immediately upon termination
of Executive's employment, Executive will deliver to the Company all copies of
data, information and knowledge, including, without limitation, all documents,
correspondence, specifications, blueprints, notebooks, reports, sketches,
formulae, computer programs, sales and other manuals, price lists, customer
lists, samples, and all other materials and copies thereof relating to the
business of the Company obtained by Executive during the period of Executive's
employment by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company which
are in Executive's possession or under Executive's control.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          The foregoing shall be in addition to any obligation Executive may
have under applicable law in respect of trade secrets and other legally
protected information.

     8.  Covenant Not to Compete
         -----------------------

          During the period of employment and during the Non-Compete Period (as
hereinafter defined) the Executive will not, directly or indirectly (a) own,
manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation
or control of, or be connected as an officer, employee, partner, director,
consultant, independent contractor, principal, agent, stockholder or otherwise
with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist any other person in
the conduct of, any entity or business in any way competitive with the Business
of the Company (as hereinafter defined) on the date of termination of the
Executive's employment of any group, division or affiliate of the Company, in
any geographic area where such business is being conducted or, where the Company
is taking active steps to conduct the proposed business,  within one year of the
date of cessation of the Executive's employment, or (b) persuade or attempt to
persuade any officer, employee or consultant of the Company to leave the employ
of the Company, or to stop providing services to the Company, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company and any officer, employee,
director, shareholder or consultant thereof, or (c) solicit, hire or cause to be
hired, directly or through another entity any person who is an employee of the
Company on the date of termination of employment of Executive, or (d) induce or
attempt to induce any customer, dealer, supplier or licensee to cease doing
business with the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between
any such customer, dealer, supplier or licensee and the Company or change that
client's business relationship with the Company, or (e) provide

                                       8
<PAGE>

or assist in providing any competitive products or services to any clients of
the Company (including any party to whom the Company has made a sales proposal
within 18 months prior to the termination of employment of Executive) of the
type offered by the Company. However, nothing herein shall prevent Executive
from owning not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding publicly traded
shares of common stock of a corporation, as to which corporation Executive has
no relationship other than as a shareholder. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Non-Compete Period" shall mean one of the following, whichever is applicable:
(a) a period of one year following Termination for Cause, (b) a period of one
year following the voluntary termination of employment by Executive, (c) a
period of one year following the termination of Executive's employment by the
Company pursuant to Section 10A(i) of this Agreement, or (d) a period of three
years following termination of employment as a result of a Change in Control.
Such period may be waived by the Board of Directors, at its discretion upon
written request of Executive.

          For purposes of this Agreement, "Business of the Company" is the
development, manufacturing and marketing of technologies, products, and services
for the automatic identification and keyless data entry industry, and includes,
but is not limited to, products, services, application, systems and technologies
relating to bar coded data, magnetic stripe encoded data, radio frequency
communications of bar coded or related data, optical character recognition,
machine vision as applied to the recognition of bar coded data and electronic
interchange of bar coded or related data.  The Business of the Company shall
also include any business in which the Company is actually engaged or as to
which it is doing research and development during

                                       9
<PAGE>

Executive's employment with the Company and, where the Company is taking active
steps to implement such research and development so as to result in commercial
enterprise within twelve (12) months from the date of Executive's termination of
employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may be employed by a
division or subsidiary of a company that may be deemed to be a competitor of the
Company so long as such division or subsidiary is not engaged in the Business of
the Company and so long as the services of Executive are rendered exclusively to
such division or subsidiary. A technology, product, application, system or
service shall be considered as part of the Business of the Company if from the
Company's perspective it (i) is materially relevant to the Company's business,
or (ii) contributes not insignificant revenues to the overall results of the
Company, or (iii) commands a materially relevant position in the marketplace. An
entity will be considered competitive with the Company if from the Company's
perspective (i) one of such entity's strategic focuses competes with the
Company's technologies, products, applications, systems or services, or (ii)
such entity's competitive products contributes not insignificant revenues to
such entity.

          In the event of Executive's termination for any reason, the Company
and Executive will agree upon an exclusive list of entities to which the
Covenant not to Compete shall apply .

          Executive specifically agrees that because of Executive's special
expertise and the special and unique services that Executive will be furnishing
the Company, and because of the Confidential Information that will be disclosed
to Executive during Executive's employment, the above stated geographic areas
and time period, in and during which Executive will not compete with the
Company, are reasonable in scope

                                       10
<PAGE>

and duration and are necessary to afford the Company just and adequate
protection against the irreparable damage which would result to the Company from
any activities prohibited by this Section.

          In connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the
Executive represents that Executive's experience, capabilities and circumstances
are such that such provisions will not unreasonably prevent Executive from
earning a livelihood and that the limitations set forth herein are reasonable
and properly required for the adequate protection of the Company and its
affiliates.

          If Executive in any way breaches the obligations specified in this
Section 8, the Company shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies
available to it, to terminate the further payment of any amounts due, any
compensation, any severance payments, or any benefits.

          If the geographic or time restriction contained in this Section 8
shall be determined by an arbitrator or court of law or equity to be
unreasonable, the arbitrator or court may amend this Section 8 to provide a
reasonable geographic or time restriction which shall then be binding upon the
Company and the Executive.

     9.  Injunctive Relief.  Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
         -----------------
threatened breach by the Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8
hereof, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive
from such breach or threatened breach without posting any bond or other
security.  Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company from pursuing, in conjunction with an injunction or otherwise, any other
remedies available to the

                                       11
<PAGE>

Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages
from the Executive.

     10.  Severance Payment.
          -----------------

          A.  Termination of Employment by Company - In General.

               (i) In the event of the termination of employment of Executive by
          the Company prior to the expiration of the Term or an Additional Term,
          as the case may be, for any reason other than Termination for Cause
          (as hereinafter defined), death, disability, or a Change in Control
          (as hereinafter defined), or in the event of the termination of
          employment by Executive for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), the
          Company will continue to pay the Executive following such termination
          an amount equal to the greater of (a) Executive's Base Salary and
          bonuses at 100% of Target for the unexpired portion of the Term or (b)
          Executive's Base Salary for one year and his bonus for one year at
          100% of Target.  Such amount shall be payable in bi-weekly
          installments either during the unexpired portion of the Term or for a
          period of one year, whichever period is applicable.  In addition, the
          Company will provide Executive with Executive's then current health,
          dental, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits
          for the unexpired term of the Agreement, or a period of one year
          following such termination, whichever is greater.  In the event of
          Executive's death while receiving severance payments hereunder, all
          remaining severance installment payments otherwise payable to
          Executive hereunder will be paid in the same

                                       12
<PAGE>

          amounts and in the same manner to Executive's heirs and legal
          representatives. All payments made to Executive hereunder will be
          subject to all applicable employment and withholding taxes.

               (ii) If Executive is receiving severance payments pursuant to
          Section 10A(i)above, then if at any time during the period Executive
          is receiving such severance payments, Executive receives or has the
          right to receive compensation (whether in cash, stock or otherwise)
          ("Third Party Compensation") from any source, either directly or
          indirectly, for services rendered in any capacity, whether as an
          employee, consultant, independent contractor, partner, officer, or
          otherwise, all such Third Party Compensation whether paid currently or
          deferred in any manner, shall be offset against the severance payments
          due from the Company in the following manner:  (a) no offset shall be
          made until after Executive receives severance payments equal to his
          Base Salary for one year and his bonus for one year at 100% of Target,
          (b) if, after the payments have been made pursuant to (a) above, the
          Third Party Compensation is greater than the amount that would be paid
          to Executive for the balance of the unexpired portion of the Term,
          than all of such Third Party Compensation shall be offset against the
          severance payments due from the Company, or (c) if, after the payments
          have been made pursuant to (a) above,  the Third Party Compensation is
          less than the amount that would be paid to Executive for the balance
          of the unexpired portion of the term, then all of such Third Party
          Compensation shall be offset against the

                                       13
<PAGE>

          severance payments due from the Company and the Company shall pay to
          Executive the difference between the two such amounts. Executive
          agrees to provide the Company with periodic reports of any and all
          such Third Party Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Third
          Party Compensation shall not include fees received by the Executive as
          a result of his service on the board of directors of other companies.

          B.  Termination of Employment - Change in Control.  In the event of
the termination of employment of Executive within the two year period following
a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Company, and such
termination is (i) by the Company or its successor for any reason other than
Termination for Cause (as hereinafter defined), death or disability, or (ii) by
the Executive for "Good Reason" (as hereinafter defined), the Company or its
successor will pay the Executive over a period of three years following such
termination an amount equal to the product of the sum of (x) Executive's Base
Salary at the annual rate then in effect in addition to  (y) the highest annual
bonus paid to Executive under the Company's current Management Incentive Plan or
any successor plan in the three full fiscal years preceding termination
multiplied by 2.9.  Such amount shall be payable in bi-weekly installments.  In
addition, Executive will be immediately vested in any retirement, incentive,
restricted stock, or option plans or agreements then in effect and the Company
will continue to provide Executive with Executive's then current health, dental,
life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits for a period of
three years.  All payments made to Executive hereunder will be subject to all
applicable employment and withholding taxes.

                                       14
<PAGE>

          C.  Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the
              -----------
contrary, the maximum amount of cash and other benefits payable (whether on a
current or deferred basis and whether or not includible in income for income tax
purposes) under this Section (the "Severance Benefits") shall be limited to the
extent necessary to avoid causing any portion of such Severance Benefits, or any
other payment in the nature of compensation to the Executive, to be treated as a
"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Any adjustment required to satisfy the
limitation described in the preceding sentence shall be accomplished first by
reducing any cash payments that would otherwise be made to the Executive and
then, if further reductions are necessary, by adjusting other benefits as
determined by the Company.

          D.  Certain Definitions.
              -------------------

          Change in Control.  A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
occurred (i) on the date that any person or group deemed a person under Sections
3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than the
Company, in a transaction or series of transactions, has become the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly (with beneficial ownership as determined as
provided in Rule 13d-3, or any successor rule under such Act), of 20% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or (ii) on the date on which
one third or more of the members of the Board of Directors shall consist of
persons other than Current Directors (for these purposes, a "Current Director"
shall mean any member of the Board of Directors elected at or continuing in
office after, the 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, any successor of a
Current Director who has been approved by a majority of the Current Directors
then on the Board, and any other person who has been approved by a majority of
the Current Directors then

                                       15
<PAGE>

on the Board); or (iii) on the date of approval of (x) the merger or
consolidation of the Company with another corporation where the shareholders of
the Company, immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, would not
beneficially own, immediately after the merger or consolidation, shares
entitling such shareholders to 50% or more of all votes (without consideration
of the rights of any class of stock to elect directors by a separate class vote)
to which all shareholders of the corporation would be entitled in the election
of directors or where the members of the Board of Directors of the Company,
immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, would not immediately after
the merger or consolidation, constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of
the corporation issuing cash or securities in the merger or consolidation or (y)
on the date of approval of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all the assets of the Company.

          Termination for Cause.  The Company shall have the right to terminate
the services of Executive without further liability or obligations to Executive
in the event that there is Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" is
defined as (i) an act of material dishonesty made by Executive in connection
with Executive's responsibilities as an employee, (ii) Executive's conviction

                          OPTION AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO
                             1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN

          OPTION AGREEMENT, executed in duplicate as of the 4th day of December,
2000, between PSC INC., a New York corporation (the "Company"), and Edward
Borey, an employee of the Company (the "Optionee").

                                    RECITALS

          Optionee entered into an employment agreement with the Company on even
date herewith (the "Employment Agreement").

          In accordance with the provisions of the 1994 Stock Option Plan of the
Company (the "Plan"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company has authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the
terms and conditions herein set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

          1.  Grant of Option.  Subject to all the terms and conditions of the
              ---------------
Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee as of
December 4, 2000 (the "Date of Grant") a stock option ("Option") to purchase
500,000 common shares of the Company (such number being subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 9), $.01 par value, on the terms and conditions herein set
forth.

          2.  Purchase Price.  The purchase price per common share covered by
              --------------
this Option shall be $1.75.

          3.  Type of Option.  In accordance with the terms of Section 422 of
              ---------------
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Option granted under this
Agreement shall be an

                                       1
<PAGE>

Incentive Stock Option ("ISO") to the extent that the aggregate fair market
value of the shares which Optionee may purchase hereunder for the first time in
any calendar year (and under all such plans of the Company) does not exceed
$100,000.

          4.  Vesting and Exercise.  This Option shall vest and be exercisable
              ----------------------
as follows:
              (a)  Vesting
                   -------

                   (i)   166,667 shares at any time on or after December 4, 2001
                   (ii)  166,666 shares at any time on or after December 4, 2002
                   (iii) 166,667 shares at any time on or after December 4, 2003

          b.  Exercise.  Notwithstanding that the installments of the Option may
              --------
earlier vest, no options may be exercised unless and until the trading price of
the Company's common shares equals or exceeds $5.00 per share for twenty (20)
consecutive trading days at any time subsequent to the Date of Grant.

          c.  Notwithstanding that the trading price does not reach the
specified performance goal in (b) above, this Option will be fully exercisable
after June 4, 2005.  This Option may not be exercised after five (5) years from
the Date of Grant (December 4, 2005).

          5.  Method of Exercising Option.  The Optionee may exercise the Option
              ---------------------------
granted to Optionee by giving written notice to the Company which shall state
the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares with respect to
which the Option is being exercised.  The written notice shall be signed by the
person exercising the Option, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal
executive office, and shall be accompanied by payment equal to the full purchase
price for the shares which are exercised.  The purchase price of each share
purchased upon exercise of the Option shall be paid in full (a) in cash at the
time of exercise, (b) with common shares of the Company owned by the Optionee,
(c) by delivering to the Company

                                       2
<PAGE>

(i) irrevocable instructions to deliver the stock certificates representing the
shares for which the Option is being exercised, directly to a broker, and (ii)
instructions to the broker to sell such shares and promptly deliver to the
Company the portion of the proceeds equal to the total purchase price, or (d) in
any combination thereof.  For purposes of making payment in common shares of the
Company, such shares shall be valued at their fair market value (as defined in
the Plan) on the date of exercise of the Option and shall have been held by the
Optionee for a period of at least six (6) months.  Such notice shall be given on
the form attached hereto and designated as Exhibit A.  In the event the Option
shall be exercised pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof by any person or persons
other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof
of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

          6.  Non-Transferability of Option Rights.  This Option shall not be
              ------------------------------------
transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  During the life of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable
only by Optionee.  More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the
foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided
above), pledged, or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by
operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other
disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any
execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and
void and without effect.

          7.  Termination of Employment or Death
              ----------------------------------

              (a) If the employment of Optionee shall terminate for Cause (as
defined in the Employment Agreement), this Option shall cease to be exercisable
on the date of such termination.

                                       3
<PAGE>

              (b) Notwithstanding Section 4 of this Agreement, if Optionee's
employment shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, including, but not
limited to, death, Disability, Change in Control (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), or Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or in the
event of any tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer by the Company)
for the Company's common shares, or a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
or a merger or consolidation or similar transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving company, or a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company assets, Optionee shall automatically become
fully vested in this Option and this Option shall become fully exercisable and
may be exercised until the expiration date specified in Section 4(c).  In the
case of death, exercise may be made by the Optionee's Designated Beneficiary (as
defined in the Plan).

          8.  General Restriction.  This Option shall be subject to the
              -------------------
requirement that if at any time the Board of Directors in its discretion shall
determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject
to such Option on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option
or the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, such Option may not be
exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions
not reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors.

          9.  Option Adjustments.  In the event of a stock dividend, stock split
              ------------------
or other change in corporate structure or capitalization affecting the common
shares or any other transaction (including, without limitation, an extraordinary
cash dividend) which, in the determination of the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors, affects the common

                                       4
<PAGE>

shares such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the
Committee shall equitably adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares
subject to this Option, and (ii) the purchase price with respect to the
foregoing, provided that the number of shares subject to this Option shall
always be a whole number.

          10.  Amendment to this Option Agreement.  The Committee may modify or
               ----------------------------------
amend this Option if it determines, in its sole discretion, that amendment is
necessary or advisable in the light of any addition to or change in the Internal
Revenue Code or in the regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or state
securities laws or other law or regulation, which change occurs after the Date
of Grant of this Option and by its terms applies to this Option.  No amendment
of this Option, however, may, without the consent of the Optionee, make any
changes which would adversely effect the rights of such Optionee.

          11.  Disqualifying Disposition.  In the event that Optionee shall sell
               -------------------------
or transfer any common shares acquired upon the exercise of the ISO portion of
this Option prior to the later of (a) two (2) years from the Date of Grant or
(b) one (1) year from the date of exercise of the Option, Optionee agrees to so
advise the Company immediately and to promptly pay to the Company the amount of
any Federal, State or local taxes that may be required.

          12.  Right of Employment.  Nothing contained herein shall confer upon
               -------------------
the Optionee any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or
interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Optionee's
employment at any time for any cause.

          13.  Definitions.  Any terms or provisions used herein which are
               -----------
defined in Sections 421, 422 or 425 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the regulations thereunder

                                       5
<PAGE>

or corresponding provisions of subsequent laws and regulations in effect at the
time this Option is granted shall have the meanings as therein defined.

          14.  Notices.  Notices hereunder shall be in writing and if to the
               -------
Company shall be delivered personally to the Secretary of the Company or mailed
to its principal office, 959 Terry Street, Eugene, Oregon 97402, addressed to
the attention of the Secretary, and, if to the Optionee, shall be delivered
personally or mailed to the Optionee at Optionee's address as the same appears
on the records of the Company.

          15.  Interpretations of this Agreement.  All decisions and
               ---------------------------------
interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising
hereunder or under the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on the Company and
the Optionee.  The Option granted hereunder, and the common shares which may be
issued upon exercise thereof, are subject to the provisions of the Plan.  In the
event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and
those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

          16.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to
               ----------------------
the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Company
and, to the extent provided in Section 7, to the personal representatives,
legatees and heirs of the Optionee.

                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Option
Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.
