1990 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), the Company grants to %%FIRST_NAME%-% %%LAST_NAME%-% (the “Optionee”) the right and the option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of %%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED%-% of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at a purchase price of %%OPTION_PRICE%-% per share, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement between the Company and the Optionee (this “Agreement”). By accepting this Option grant, the Optionee agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Option grant. The terms and conditions of the Option grant set forth in attached Exhibit A are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

1. Grant Date; Expiration Date. The Grant Date for this Option is %%OPTION_DATE%-% . The Option shall continue in effect until %%EXPIRE_DATE_PERIOD1%-% (the “Expiration Date”) unless earlier terminated as provided in Sections 1, 4 or 5 of Exhibit A. The Option shall not be exercisable on or after the Expiration Date.

2. Vesting of Option. The Vesting Reference Date of this Option is %%OPTION_DATE%-% . Until it expires or is terminated as provided in Sections 1, 4 or 5 of Exhibit A, the Option may be exercised from time to time to purchase whole shares as to which it has become exercisable. The Option shall become exercisable for 25% of the shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the Vesting Reference Date, so that the Option will be fully exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Reference Date.

3. Non-Statutory Stock Option. The Company hereby designates the Option to be a non-statutory stock option, rather than an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

EXHIBIT A TO

1990 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

1. Termination of Employment or Service.

1.1 General Rule. Except as provided in this Section 1, the Option may not be exercised unless at the time of exercise the Optionee is employed by or in the service of the Company and shall have been so employed or provided such service continuously since the Grant Date. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the Optionee is considered to be employed by or in the service of the Company if the Optionee is employed by or in the service of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (an “Employer”).

1.2 Termination Generally. If the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than because of the Optionee’s total disability, death or retirement as provided in Sections 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5, the Option may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or the expiration of three months after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination.

1.3 Termination Because of Total Disability. If the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company terminates because of total disability, the Option shall, following the receipt and processing by the Company’s legal department of any necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Optionee’s termination (the “Processing Period”), become exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or before the date that is one year after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period. The term “total disability” means a medically determinable mental or physical impairment that is expected to result in death or has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of 12 months or more and that, in the opinion of the Company and two independent physicians, causes the Optionee to be unable to perform duties as an employee, director, officer or consultant of the Employer and unable to be engaged in any substantial gainful activity. Total disability shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day after the two independent physicians have furnished their written opinion of total disability to the Company and the Company has reached an opinion of total disability.

1.4 Termination Because of Death. If the Optionee dies while employed by or in the service of the Company, the Option shall, following the Processing Period, become exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or before the date that is one year after the date of death, whichever is the shorter period, but only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Option shall pass by the Optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of domicile at the time of death.

1.5 Termination Because of Retirement. If the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company terminates because of the Optionee’s retirement, following the Processing Period, the Option may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or before


the expiration of three months after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only to the extent specified in this Section 1.5. For purposes of this Section 1.5, the term “retirement” means a termination of employment or service that occurs at a time when (a) the Optionee’s retirement point total is at least 55, and (b) the Optionee has been employed by or in the service of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company for at least five full years. For purposes of this Section 1.5, the term “retirement point total” means the sum of the Optionee’s age in full years plus the number of full years that the Optionee has been employed by or in the service of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company. Upon the Optionee’s retirement, and following the Processing Period, the Optionee may exercise the portion of the Option that the Optionee was entitled to exercise immediately prior to retirement plus a percentage of the remaining unvested portion of the Option based on the Optionee’s retirement point total at the time of retirement as set forth in the following table:
