NIKE, Inc. (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Company</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) believes that ownership of shares of its common stock by selected employees of its foreign subsidiaries is desirable as an incentive to better performance and improvement of profits, and as a means by which employees may share in the rewards of growth and success.  The purpose of the Company&#8217;s Foreign Subsidiary Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) is to provide a convenient means by which such employees may purchase the Company&#8217;s shares and a method by which the Company may assist and encourage such employees to become share owners.  The Company operates an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended from time to time, the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">U.S. ESPP</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) pursuant to which employees of the Company and selected U.S. subsidiaries have a similar opportunity to purchase Company shares.  Each subsidiary of the Company that is a participant in the U.S. ESPP is hereinafter referred to as a &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Participating U.S. Subsidiary.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">2.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Shares Reserved for the Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  There are 15,000,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s authorized but unissued or reacquired Class&#160;B Common Stock reserved for purposes of the Plan.  The number of shares reserved for the Plan is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the outstanding Class&#160;B Common Stock of the Company.  The determination of whether an adjustment shall be made and the manner of any such adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Board</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;), which determination shall be conclusive.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">3.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Administration of the Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  The Board has delegated to the Vice President of Global Human Resources of the Company (or, if the officer who is the Company&#8217;s senior human resources executive shall have a title other than Vice President of Global Human Resources, then such other officer) all authority for administration of the Plan and, in connection with such delegation and unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Plan shall be administered by or under the direction of such officer (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Authorized Officer</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;), who may delegate some or all of his or her duties and authority to one or more Company employees.  The Authorized Officer may promulgate rules and regulations for the operation of the Plan which may vary with local requirements, adopt forms for use in connection with the Plan, and decide any question of interpretation of the Plan or rights arising thereunder.  The Authorized Officer may consult with counsel for the Company on any matter arising under the Plan.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all determinations and decisions of the Authorized Officer or the Board shall be conclusive.</font></div><div><br></div><div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">4.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Eligible Employees</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  The Board hereby authorizes the purchase of shares of Class&#160;B Common Stock pursuant to the Plan by employees of each subsidiary of the Company that is not a Participating U.S. Subsidiary (each such subsidiary of the Company that is not a Participating U.S. Subsidiary, a &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Foreign Subsidiary</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;), but has delegated to the Authorized Officer the authority to designate from time to time from among such employees which groups of employees shall be participating groups for purposes of the Plan (each such group so designated as a participating group for purposes of the Plan being hereinafter called a &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Participating Group</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;).  For example, a Participating Group may consist of all Foreign Subsidiary employees who have their home office in a designated country.  All Eligible Employees in each Participating Group are eligible to participate in the Plan.  An &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Eligible Employee</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; is an employee in a Participating Group who has been employed by the Company and its subsidiaries for at least one full month prior to the Offering Date (as defined below) excluding, however, any employee who would, after a purchase of shares under the Plan, own or be deemed (under Section 424(d) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Code</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;)) to own stock (including stock subject to any outstanding options held by the employee) possessing 5 percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company.  The Board and Authorized Officer shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an individual satisfies the definition of Eligible Employee under this Section 4 and any such determination shall be final and binding on all parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any individual retroactively determined to be an Eligible Employee by the Company, a court, or a governmental agency will be permitted to participate only prospectively from the date of such determination, unless it is determined that the Company&#8217;s decision was made in bad faith.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">5.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Offerings</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(a)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Offering and Purchase Dates</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  The Plan shall be implemented by a series of six-month offerings (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Offerings</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;), with a new Offering commencing on April 1 and October 1 of each year.  Each Offering commencing on April 1 of any year shall end on September 30 of that year, and each Offering commencing on October 1 of any year shall end on March 31 of the following year.  The first day of each Offering is the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Offering Date</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; for that Offering and the last day of each Offering is the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Purchase Date</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; for that Offering.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(b)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Grants; Limitations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan to purchase shares of Class&#160;B Common Stock on the Purchase Date for the Offering for the price determined under paragraph 7 of the Plan exclusively through payroll deductions or other contributions authorized under paragraph 6 of the Plan; provided, however, that (i) no option shall permit the purchase of more than 500 shares, and (ii) no option may be granted under the Plan that would allow an employee&#8217;s right to purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries to accrue at a rate </font></div><div><br></div><div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">that exceeds US$25,000 of fair market value of shares (determined at the date of grant) in any calendar year.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">6.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Participation in the Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(a)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Initiating Participation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  An Eligible Employee may participate in an Offering under the Plan by submitting to the Company or its agent a subscription in a form specified by the Company.  The subscription must be submitted no later than the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Subscription Deadline,</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; which shall be a number of days prior to the Offering Date with the exact number of days being established from time to time by the Authorized Officer by written notice to Eligible Employees.  Once submitted, a subscription shall remain in effect unless amended or terminated, and upon the expiration of an Offering the participants in that Offering will be automatically enrolled in the new Offering starting the following day.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(b)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Payroll Deductions or Other Contributions</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  Unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer in accordance with this paragraph 6(b), each subscription shall include a payroll deduction authorization that will authorize the employing entity to make payroll deductions in an amount designated by the participant from each of the participant&#8217;s paychecks during the Offering.  The designated amount to be deducted from each paycheck must be a whole percentage of not less than one percent or more than 10 percent of the participant&#8217;s Compensation (as defined below) for the period covered by the paycheck.  If the Authorized Officer determines that payroll deductions are either illegal or inadvisable in any particular jurisdiction, the Authorized Officer may provide for alternate methods of contributing to the Plan for all participants in that jurisdiction, provided that no participant shall be permitted to contribute less than one percent or more than 10 percent of the participant&#8217;s aggregate Compensation paid during the Offering.  Each employing entity will promptly remit the amount of payroll deductions or other contributions to the Company.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(c)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Definition of Compensation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Compensation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; means the gross amount of participant&#8217;s base salary, hourly compensation including overtime pay, performance bonus compensation and sales commissions, or such other definitions of Compensation as may be established from time to time by the Authorized Officer for defined groups of employees.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(d)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Amending Participation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  After a participant has begun participating in the Plan by initiating payroll deductions, the participant may amend the payroll deduction authorization (i) once during any Offering to decrease the amount of payroll deductions, and (ii)&#160;effective for the first paycheck of a new Offering to either increase or decrease the amount of payroll deductions.  A request for a decrease in payroll deductions during an Offering must be submitted to the Company in a form specified by the Company no later than the Change Deadline (as defined below) for that Offering, and shall be effective for any paycheck only if the request is received by the Company no later than the last business day of the immediately preceding calendar month, or by such other deadline as may be established from time to time by the Authorized Officer for defined groups of </font></div><div><br></div><div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">employees.  A request for an increase or decrease in payroll deductions effective for the first paycheck of a new Offering must be submitted to the Company in a form specified by the Company no later than the Subscription Deadline for the new Offering.  In addition, if the amount of payroll deductions from any participant during an Offering exceeds the maximum amount that can be applied to purchase shares in that Offering under the limitations set forth in paragraph 5(b) above, then (x) payroll deductions from the participant shall cease and all such excess amounts shall be refunded to the participant, and (y)&#160;payroll deductions from the participant shall restart as of the commencement of the next Offering at the rate set forth in the participant&#8217;s then effective payroll deduction authorization.  If the Authorized Officer provides an alternative to payroll deduction as a method of contributing to the Plan in any jurisdiction, the Authorized Officer shall also specify terms for amending contribution levels in that jurisdiction.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(e)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Terminating Participation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  After a participant has begun participating in the Plan, the participant may terminate participation in the Plan by notice to the Company in a form specified by the Company.  To be effective to terminate participation in an Offering, a notice of termination must be submitted no later than the &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Change Deadline,</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221; which shall be a number of days prior to the Purchase Date for that Offering with the exact number of days being established from time to time by the Authorized Officer by written notice to participants.  Except as provided in paragraph 6(g) below, participation in the Plan shall also terminate when a participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death or retirement.  A participant may not reinstate participation in the Plan with respect to a particular Offering after once terminating participation in the Plan with respect to that Offering.  Upon termination of a participant&#8217;s participation in the Plan, all amounts deducted from the participant&#8217;s Compensation or otherwise contributed by the participant, and not previously used to purchase shares under the Plan, shall be returned to the participant.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(f)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Employee Transferred from U.S</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

The Custodian may hold in nominee or street name certificates for shares purchased pursuant to the Plan, and may commingle shares in its custody pursuant to the Plan in a single account without identification as to individual participants.  By appropriate instructions to the Custodian, a participant may from time to time sell all or part of the shares held by the Custodian for the participant&#8217;s account at the market price at the time the order is executed.  If a participant desires to sell all of the shares in his or her account, the Custodian or the Company will purchase any fraction of a share in the account at the same price per share that the whole shares are sold on the market.  By appropriate instructions to the Custodian, a participant may obtain (a) transfer into the participant&#8217;s own name of all or part of the whole shares held by the Custodian for the participant&#8217;s account and delivery of such whole shares to the participant, or (b) transfer of all or part of the whole shares held for the participant&#8217;s account by the Custodian to a regular individual brokerage account in the participant&#8217;s own name, either with the firm then acting as Custodian or with another firm; provided, however, that no shares may be transferred under (a) or (b) until two years after the Offering Date of the Offering in which the shares were purchased.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">10.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Records and Statements</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  The Custodian will maintain the records of the Plan.  As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date each participant will receive a statement showing the activity of his or her account since the preceding Purchase Date and the balance on the Purchase Date as to both cash and shares.  Participants will be furnished such other reports and statements, and at such intervals, as the Authorized Officer shall determine from time to time.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">11.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Expense of the Plan</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

Unless otherwise provided by the Board or the Authorized Officer in its discretion, the Company will not pay expenses, commissions or taxes incurred in connection with sales of shares by the Custodian at the request of a participant.

Stock dividends and other distributions in shares of Class&#160;B Common Stock of the Company on shares held by the Custodian shall be issued to the Custodian and held by it for the account of the respective participants entitled thereto.  Cash distributions other than dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be paid currently to the participants entitled thereto.  Cash dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian may be reinvested in Class&#160;B Common Stock on behalf of the participants entitled thereto.  The Custodian shall establish a separate account for each participant for the purpose of holding any shares acquired through reinvestment of the participant&#8217;s dividends.  On each dividend payment date, the Custodian shall receive from the Company the aggregate amount of dividends payable with respect to all shares held by the Custodian for participants&#8217; accounts under the Plan.  As soon as practicable thereafter, the Custodian shall use such portion of the funds designated for reinvestment to purchase shares of Class&#160;B Common Stock in the public market, and shall then allocate such shares (including fractional shares) among the dividend reinvestment accounts of the participants pro rata based on the amount of dividends reinvested for such participants.  For those participants receiving cash dividends, the Custodian shall allocate the remainder of such funds among the accounts of such participants pro rata based upon the amount of dividends received.  A participant may sell or transfer shares in the participant&#8217;s dividend reinvestment account in accordance with paragraph 9 above, except that there shall be no holding period required for a transfer from a dividend reinvestment account.</font></div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">14.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Voting and Shareholder Communications</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.
