1.4     Section Six-Severance Compensation. Subsection 4(b) of Section Six is
deleted and amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"If any of the events described above constituting a Change in Control shall
have occurred and such Change of Control shall have resulted in a termination of
Employee's employment, or if Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason
(as defined in subsection 4(c) of this Section Six), then, in either case, the
Corporation shall pay Employee a severance benefit in an amount equal to
eighteen months of Employee's salary calculated immediately prior to Such
termination. Such severance benefit shall be paid in one lump sum within thirty
(30) days of termination or at such other date that the Corporation and Employee
shall agree, it being understood and agreed that, if the Corporation and
Employee agree that such severance benefit shall be paid in installments, the
Corporation shall have no obligation to pay Employee interest on any unpaid
amount. In addition to the severance benefit, the Corporation shall continue to
pay Employee any other employment-related benefits to which Employee is
entitled, as if he or she continued to be an employee of the Corporation, for a
period of one (1) year following termination or until such time (which in no
event shall exceed one year from such termination) as Employee receives
comparable benefits from a new employer. In the event Employee has existing
stock options, they shall be honored in accordance with their terms. The
severance and other benefits afforded Employee by this subsection shall not
apply despite the occurrence of a Change in Control if Employee's employment by
the Corporation is terminated because of Employee's death or Disability (as
defined in subsection 3 of this Section Six) or if Employee's employment is
terminated by the Corporation For Cause (as defined in Section Ten).

I.5     Arbitration. A new section (Section Thirteen) reading in its entirety is
hereby added to the Agreement:

"SECTION TIIIRTEEN • ARBITRATION. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of
this Agreement or the performance by the Corporation or Employee of their
respective obligations shall be submitted to and determined by the decision of a
single arbitrator, being either a retired judge or a retired attorney with a
minimum often years of experience in negotiating and documenting employment
agreements such as that contemplated by this Agreement, who shall be selected by
mutual agreement of the Corporation and Employee, and shall be independent of
the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Spokane, Washington, in
accordance with the arbitration rules set forth in RCW 7.04A, and the arbitrator
shall reach and render a decision in writing (which shall state the reasons for
his or her decision), which shall be entirely on the basis of the substantive
law governing this Agreement. To the extent practical, decisions of the
arbitrator shall be rendered no more than 30 calendar days following
commencement of proceedings with respect thereto. Any decision made by the
arbitrator (either prior to or after the expiration of such 30 calendar day
period) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties to this Agreement,
and each party to the arbitration shall be entitled to enforce such decision to
the fullest extent permitted by law and entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the reasonable fees
and expenses of legal counsel and consultants of the parties shall be paid by
