TULLY’S COFFEE
CORPORATION
SECOND AMENDED AND
RESTATED
1994 STOCK OPTION
PLAN
This Plan establishes the right of
and procedures for TULLY’S COFFEE CORPORATION (the
“Company”) to grant stock options to its key employees
and directors. The Plan provides for the granting of two types of
options, namely (1) Non-Qualified Stock Options to employees
and directors and (2) Incentive Stock Options to employees
only as the latter are defined and governed by Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). This Plan sets forth provisions applicable to
both types of options, to Non-Qualified Options only, to Incentive
Stock Options only, and to the procedures allowed for the
conversion of Non-Qualified Stock Options into Incentive Stock
Options.

PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE TO BOTH NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS AND INCENTIVE STOCK
OPTIONS
|
The provisions of this
Section 2 apply to both Non-Qualified Options and Incentive
Stock Options granted by the Company.

2.1
|
Objectives
of the Plan
|
The purpose of this Plan is to
encourage ownership of shares of common stock of the Company by key
employees and directors of the Company and any current or future
subsidiary. This Plan is intended to provide an incentive for
maximum effort in the successful operation and management of the
Company and is expected to benefit the shareholders by enabling the
Company to attract and retain individuals of the best available
talent through the opportunity to share, by the proprietary
interests created by this Plan, in the increased value of the
Company’s shares to which such individuals have
contributed.

2.2
|
Stock
Reserved for This Plan
|
The number of shares of common stock
of the Company reserved for issue upon the exercise of options
granted under this Plan shall not exceed four million two hundred
thousand (4,200,000) of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Company (the “Shares”), provided that, a portion of
the shares so authorized may be allocated to the 1999 Employee
Stock Option Plan. The number of shares allocated to each plan
shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”), but shall
1
not exceed four million two hundred thousand
(4,200,000) Shares for both plans. Shares allocated to this
Plan which are subject to any option under this Plan which are not
exercised in full or Shares as to which the right to purchase is
forfeited through default or otherwise, shall remain available for
other options under this Plan.

2.3
|
Administration of This Plan
|
This Plan will be administered by
the Board, provided that at all times during which the Company is
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as amended from time to time (the
“Exchange Act”) each member of the Board who
participates in the administration of the Plan must be a
non-employee director” as that term is defined in Section
16b(3) of the Exchange Act (“Non-employee Directors”).
A committee of not less than three members of the Board who are
Non-employee Directors shall be appointed by the Board to carry out
the administrative duties of the Board hereunder.
A majority of the Board shall
constitute a quorum, and acts of a majority of the members present
at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in
writing by a majority of the Board, shall be deemed the acts of the
Board.
The Non-employee directors of the
Board on consideration of recommendations of the President and of
other officers, if the Board shall deem the same appropriate,
shall:
(a) Determine the number of
Shares subject to each option, the terms thereof, and the type of
options to be granted and direct the President, or other officer in
his absence, to issue each such option;
(b) Prescribe rules and
regulations from time to time for administration of this Plan;
and
(c) Decide any questions
arising as to the interpretation or application of any provision of
this Plan.
Any action, decision,
interpretation, or determination by the Board with respect to this
Plan shall be final and binding upon any and all employees or
directors.
|
|
2.4
|
Eligibility;
Facts to Be Considered in Granting Options
|
An option may be granted to any
officer, key employee or director who, at the time the option is
granted, is an employee or director of the Company or of any
subsidiary. In its determination of an employee or director to whom
an option shall be granted and the number of Shares to be covered
by such option, the Board shall take into account the duties of the
employee or director, the present and potential
2
contributions of the employee or director to the
success of the Company, and other factors deemed relevant by the
Board in connection with accomplishing the purpose of this Plan. An
employee or director who has been granted an option to purchase
Shares of the Company, whether under this Plan or otherwise, may,
if the Board shall so determine, be granted additional
options.
The Board shall have the authority
to establish the time of times at which the optioned Shares may be
purchased and whether all of the options may be exercised at one
time or in increments.

purchased all optioned Shares, all unexercised options shall
terminate on the effective, termination, or closing date, or one
hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of said
dissolution, as the case may be.
(d) If the Company shall be the
surviving corporation in any merger or is a party to a merger or
consolidation which is between or among the Company and other
corporations related to or affiliated with the Company, any option
granted hereunder shall pertain and apply to the securities to
