and the Investor.
     2. As of the Closing (as defined below) and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Company and the Investor agree that the Investor will
purchase from the Company and the Company will issue and sell to the Investor
___ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company (“Common Stock”), for a purchase price of $0.39 per share, or an
aggregate purchase price of $___. The Investor acknowledges that the offering of
the Shares is not a firm commitment underwriting and that there is no minimum
offering amount. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have no
obligation to issue or sell any Shares to the Investor until the Company accepts
this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Investor a counterpart to this
Agreement.
     3. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur at a

Shares. Unless otherwise requested by the Investor and agreed to by the Company,
the Shares purchased by the Investor will be delivered by electronic book-entry
at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the Investor’s name and
address as set forth below, and will be released by Mellon Shareholder Services,
the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), to the Investor at the
Closing. After the execution of this Agreement by the Investor, the Investor
shall direct the broker-dealer at which the account or accounts to be credited
with the Shares are maintained to set up a deposit/withdrawal at custodian
(“DWAC”) instructing the Transfer Agent to credit such account or accounts with
the Shares.
     4. The offering and sale of the Shares (the “Offering”) are being made
pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3
(No. 333-116600) (including the Prospectus contained therein (the “Base
Prospectus”) and the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by
reference, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 17, 2004 which
became effective on July 7, 2004, and, if applicable, certain preliminary
prospectuses or “free writing prospectuses” (as that term is defined in Rule 405
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”)), that have or will be
filed with the Commission and delivered to the Investor on or prior to the date
hereof (the “Time of Sale Prospectus”), and a Prospectus Supplement (the
“Prospectus Supplement”, and collectively with the Base Prospectus and any Time
of Sale Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) containing certain supplemental
information regarding the Shares and terms of the Offering that will be filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). The Investor acknowledges that the
Company intends to enter into purchase agreements in substantially the same form
as this Agreement with certain other investors and intends to offer and sell up
to 12,791,611 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement and
Prospectus.
     5. Once this Agreement has been accepted and agreed to by the Company, the
Company’s obligations to issue and sell the Shares to the Investor shall be
subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the
Investor and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investor to be
fulfilled prior to the Closing. The obligations of each of the Company and the
Investor hereunder shall be subject to the condition that there is no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, in effect, and that no
proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or threatened by the
Commission.

     6. The Company hereby makes the following representations, warranties and
covenants to the Investor:
          (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and,
when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid
and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general
principles of equity. The Shares have been duly and validly authorized by the
Company and, when the Shares, are issued and delivered against payment therefor
as provided herein, the Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
          (b) The Company (i) may, after the closing of trading on the Nasdaq

Company’s control.
     7. The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and
covenants to the Company:

reference therein. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning
of Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) under the Act. The Investor is knowledgeable,

therein, and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein.
          (b) The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that no action

distribution of offering materials in connection with the issue of the Shares in
any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose is
required. If the Investor resides outside the United States, Investor will
comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in

expense.
          (c) From and after obtaining knowledge of the sale of the Shares
contemplated hereby, such Investor has not taken, and prior to the public
announcement of the transaction such Investor shall not take, any action that
has caused or will cause such Investor to have, directly or indirectly, sold or
agreed to sell any Common Stock, effected any short sale, whether or not against
the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined

part of the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor and,

and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general
principles of equity.
          (f) The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any
other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase or
sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has

and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the
delivery to such Investor of the Shares being purchased and the payment
therefor.

the internal laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law.
     10. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
