        (c) Any adjustment of the Prime Borrowing Rate provided for in this
    Section 4.1 shall be effective as of the first day of the month following
    the month in which U.S. Bank receives Borrower's financial statements
    establishing a ratio in a new range of Capital Ratios or Funded Debt Ratios,
    as the case may be, for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Any
    adjustment of the LIBOR Borrowing Rate provided for in this Section 4.1
    shall be effective as of the first day following the Interest Periods that
    expire after the month in which U.S. Bank receives Borrower's financial
    statements establishing a ratio in a new range of Capital Ratios or Funded
    Debt Ratios, as the case may be, for the immediately preceding fiscal
    quarter.

        (d) If any audit of Borrower's annual financial statements by
    independent certified public accountants does not confirm the Capital Ratio
    or the Funded Debt Ratio, as the case may be, reflected in any of that
    fiscal year's quarterly financial statements delivered by Borrower to U.S.
    Bank, then the interest rates shall be automatically adjusted to the
    applicable interest rates set forth in the matrix retroactive to the first
    day of the month following the month in which U.S. Bank received a quarterly
    financial statement of Borrower subsequently corrected by such audit.
    Following any retroactive adjustment of interest rates, if Borrower (i) owes
    additional interest to U.S. Bank, Borrower will pay such interest
    immediately upon demand by U.S. Bank, or (ii) has paid more interest than
    would have accrued at the adjusted rates, U.S. Bank will refund to Borrower
    such excess, immediately upon Borrower's demand.

        4.2 Manner of Borrowing. Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

        4.2 Manner of Borrowing.

        (a) Whenever Borrower desires to use the LIBOR Borrowing Rate, Borrower
    shall give U.S. Bank irrevocable notice (either in writing or orally and
    promptly confirmed in writing) between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. (Seattle,
    Washington time) two Business Days prior to the desired effective date of
    the LIBOR Borrowing Rate ("Borrowing Notice"). Any oral Borrowing Notice
    shall be given by, and any written Borrowing Notice or confirmation of an
    oral Borrowing Notice shall be signed by Paul Shipman, Bradley Berg, David
    Mickelson, or Anne Mueller, each of whom is authorized to request Loans,
    until written notice by Borrower of the revocation of such authority is
    received by U.S. Bank. Each Borrowing Notice shall specify the requested
    effective date of the LIBOR Borrowing Rate, the Interest Period, the amount
    of the LIBOR Rate Borrowing, and whether Borrower is requesting a new
    advance at the LIBOR Borrowing Rate, conversion of all or any portion of the
    Prime Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, or a new Interest Period for
    an outstanding LIBOR Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other term of this
    Agreement, Borrower may elect the LIBOR Borrowing Rate to apply to Loans or
    portions thereof only in the minimum principal amount of $500,000. In the
    event Borrower has not given U.S. Bank a Borrowing Notice two Business Days
    in advance of the expiration of any Interest Period of Borrower's intent to
    convert a LIBOR Rate Borrowing to a new LIBOR Rate Borrowing at the
    expiration of such Interest Period, then such LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall
    automatically, at the expiration of such Interest Period, be deemed to be a
    Prime Rate Borrowing.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

        (b) Borrower may obtain LIBOR Borrowing Rate quotes from U.S. Bank
    between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. (Seattle, Washington time) on any Business
    Day. Borrower may request an advance, conversion of any portion of a Prime
    Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing or a new Interest Period for an
    existing LIBOR Rate Borrowing, at such rate only by giving U.S. Bank notice
    in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.2 before 1:00 p.m.
    (Seattle, Washington time) on such day. Each Borrowing Notice shall be
    irrevocable. Each Borrowing Notice requesting a new advance or conversion of
    an advance to an Acquisition Loan (as opposed to an interest rate renewal or
    interest rate conversion) shall be deemed to constitute a representation and
    warranty by Borrower that, as of the date of the Borrowing Notice, (i) the
    statements set forth in Article VIII are true and correct, (ii) no material
    adverse change in Borrower's financial condition, except as previously
    disclosed to U.S. Bank in writing, has occurred subsequent to December 31,
    1997, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
    continuing.

        (c) Any Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be conclusively
    presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower when made in
    accordance with such a request from an authorized Person and direction for
    disposition or when such Loan is deposited to the credit of the account of
    Borrower with U.S. Bank or is transmitted to any other bank with directions
    to credit the same to the account of Borrower at such bank, regardless of
    whether Persons other than those authorized hereunder to make requests for
    Loans have authority to draw against any such account. Borrower acknowledges
    that U.S. Bank cannot effectively determine whether a particular request for
    an advance under a Loan is valid, authorized, or authentic. It is
    nevertheless important to Borrower that it has the privilege of making
    requests for advances under the Loans in accordance with this Section 4.2.
    Therefore, to induce U.S. Bank to lend funds in response to such requests
    and in consideration for U.S. Bank's agreement to receive and consider such
    requests, Borrower assumes all risks of the validity, authenticity, and
    authorization of such requests, whether or not the individual making such
    requests has authority to request advances under the Loans and whether or
    not the aggregate sum owing exceeds the maximum principal amount permitted
    to be outstanding under such Loan. U.S. Bank shall not be responsible under
    principles of contract, tort, or otherwise for the amount of an authorized
    or invalid advance under a Loan, except for its negligence or willful
    misconduct; rather, Borrower agrees to repay any sums with interest as
    provided herein.

                         Article V. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

        5.1 Tangible Net Worth. Section 7.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

        7.15 Tangible Net Worth. Permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any
    time during the terms of the Loans to be less than $65,000,000.

        5.2 Debt Service Coverage. Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

        7.17 Debt Service Coverage. Permit the ratio of (a) the sum of Cash Flow
    for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters of Borrower, plus, to the
    extent accounted for during such period, $3,362,000 (representing Borrower's
    "special valuation provision"), to (b) Debt Service for the immediately
    preceding four fiscal quarters of Borrower to be less than (x) 1.05:1 during
    any fiscal quarter of Borrower ending before July 1, 2001, and (y) 1.25:1
    during any fiscal quarter of Borrower thereafter.


                        Article VI. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

        U.S. Bank shall have no obligation to modify the terms of the Loans as

    Bank with the following documents prior to or upon the execution of this
    Amendment:

            (i)     Copies of the articles of incorporation of Borrower, 
    together with all amendments thereto, certified by Borrower to be true and 
    complete; and

            (ii)    An incumbency certificate confirming the continued validity 
    of existing resolutions of the directors of Borrower in the form attached to

        (j) There shall have been no material adverse change in the financial

                         Article VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

        7.1 Year 2000. Borrower has reviewed and assessed its business
operations and computer systems and applications to address the "Year 2000
Problem" (that is, that computer applications and equipment used by the
Borrower, directly or indirectly through third parties, may be unable to
properly perform date-sensitive functions before, during and after January 1,
2000). Borrower reasonably believes that the Year 2000 Problem will not result
in a material adverse change in Borrower's business condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, properties or prospects or ability to repay the
Revolving Loan or any Acquisition Loan to U.S. Bank. Borrower is in the process
of implementing the plan to remediate Year 2000 Problems and will complete
implementation of such plan with respect to any material Year 2000 Problems, and
testing thereof, by September 30, 1999. Borrower agrees that this representation
will be true and correct on and shall be deemed made by Borrower on each date
Borrower requests any advance under any of the Loans or delivers any information
to U.S. Bank. Borrower will promptly deliver to U.S. Bank such information
relating to this representation as U.S. Bank requests from time to time If this
representation is false or misleading in any material respect, an Event of
Default shall have occurred and U.S. Bank shall be entitled to exercise its
remedies under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, but only with respect to the
Revolving Note and any one or more of the Acquisition Notes. The occurrence of
an Event of Default under this Section 7.1 shall not entitle U.S. Bank to
declare the unpaid principal balance of the Term Note to be immediately due and
payable or to have any other effect on the Term Note's terms and conditions.

        7.2 Notices. The name of the Person to whom notices to U.S. Bank must be
given and the address of such Person is changed to:

            U.S. Bank National Association
            10800 N.E. 8th Avenue, Suite 1000
            Bellevue, Washington  98004

<PAGE>   14

        7.3 Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to U.S. Bank that, to the best knowledge and belief of Borrower, as of
the date of this Amendment, there exists no Default or Event of Default. All
representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, or otherwise made in writing in connection therewith,
are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that all of Borrower's Indebtedness to U.S. Bank is payable without
offset, defense, or counterclaim.

        7.4 Guaranties. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all
guaranties now existing or hereafter obtained by U.S. Bank shall remain in full
force and effect, are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and
are not subject to offset, defense, or counterclaim.

        7.5 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original agreement, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

        7.6 STATUTORY NOTICE. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY,
EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT
ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, U.S. Bank and Borrower have caused this Amendment to
be duly executed by their respective duly authorized officers or agents as of
the date first above written.

obligation under the Account or arising out of any other agreement,

        (a) Borrower (either itself or through licensees) will, in a manner
consistent with prior practice, (i) continue to use its Trademarks in order to

<PAGE>   35

Trademarks unless U.S. Bank shall have obtained a perfected security interest in

or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby
any currently-used Trademark may become invalidated.

        (b) Borrower will notify U.S. Bank immediately if it knows, or has
reason to know, of (i) any application or registration relating to any Trademark
material to its business that may become abandoned or dedicated, or (ii) any
adverse determination or development (including but not limited to the
institution of, or any adverse determination or development in, any proceeding
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court or tribunal in any
country) regarding Borrower's ownership of any material Trademark or its right
to register, keep, or maintain the same.

        (c) Whenever Borrower, either by itself or through any agent, employee,
licensee, or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any
material Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Borrower
shall report such filing to U.S. Bank within 30 days after the last day of the
calendar month in which such filing occurs. Borrower shall execute and deliver
to U.S. Bank all agreements, instruments, powers of attorney, documents, and
papers that U.S. Bank may request to evidence U.S. Bank's security interest in
any Trademark and in the goodwill and general intangibles of Borrower relating
to or represented by the Trademark. Borrower hereby constitutes U.S. Bank its
attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing
purposes, with all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed;
and such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all Secured
Obligations are paid in full.

        (d) Borrower will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including but
not limited to all reasonable and necessary steps in any proceeding before the
United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office or agency in any
other country or any political subdivision thereof to which Borrower has applied
for any Trademark, to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the
relevant registration, and to maintain each registration of material Trademarks,
including but not limited to filing applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
and affidavits of incontestability.

        (e) If any Trademark that is included in the Collateral is infringed,
misappropriated, or diluted by a third party, Borrower shall promptly notify
U.S. Bank after it learns thereof and shall take such action as Borrower
reasonably deems appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Trademark.

        3.15 Vehicles. Upon request by U.S. Bank, the application for
certificate of title to any vehicle indicating U.S. Bank's first priority lien
on such Vehicle, and any other necessary documentation, shall be filed in each
office in each jurisdiction that U.S. Bank deems advisable to perfect its lien
on any Vehicle constituting Collateral.

        3.16 Insurance. Borrower agrees to insure the Collateral against all
hazards in form and amount consistent with the prior practices of Borrower and
reasonably acceptable to U.S. Bank. If Borrower fails to obtain such insurance,
U.S. Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain either
insurance covering both Borrower's and U.S. Bank's interest in the 


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   36

Collateral, or insurance covering only U.S. Bank's interest in the Collateral.
Borrower agrees to pay such premium that would be charged for insurance that
Borrower is required to maintain by this Section 3.16. This amount may be added
to the outstanding balance of the Loans, and interest thereon shall be charged
at the rate specified in any applicable Loan Document, or U.S. Bank may demand
immediate payment. Any unpaid insurance premium advanced by U.S. Bank shall be
secured under the terms of this Agreement. U.S. Bank will have no liability
whatsoever for any loss which may occur by reason of the omission or lack of
coverage of any such insurance. Any insurer shall make payable jointly to the
Borrower and U.S. Bank as secured party (or otherwise as its interest may
appear) any loss payments from casualty/property loss insurance covering any of
the Collateral in excess of $100,000.

        3.17 Copy of Financing Statement. Borrower agrees that a carbon,
photographic, or other reproduction of a financing statement or this Agreement
is sufficient as a financing statement.

                   ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


        Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties:

        4.1 Title to Collateral. Borrower has good and marketable title to all

impaired or jeopardized because of the security interest herein granted.

        4.3 Other Agreements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions provided for herein, and the fulfillment of the
terms hereof will not result in the breach of any of the terms, conditions, or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict with, or cause any
acceleration of any obligation under any (a) agreement or other instrument to
which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound or (b) Applicable Law.

        4.4 No Approvals. No Governmental Approvals of any nature are required

the Accounts will at such time be the materially correct amount actually owing

Trademarks is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement. No holding,
decision, or judgment that would limit, cancel, or question the validity of the

Trademarks and that would, if adversely determined, have a material adverse
effect on the aggregate value of the Trademarks.

interest, or payment due thereon, exercise any rights or options of Borrower
pertaining thereto; make presentment, demand, or protest; give notice of
protest, nonacceptance, or nonpayment; or do any other thing for the protection,
enforcement, or collection of such Collateral. The powers conferred on U.S. Bank
hereunder are solely to protect U.S. Bank's interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon U.S. Bank to exercise any such powers. U.S. Bank
shall be accountable only for amounts that U.S. Bank actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers; and neither U.S. Bank nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for
any act or failure to act hereunder.

        5.2 Negotiations with Account Debtors. During the existence of any Event
of Default, U.S. Bank may, in its sole discretion, extend or consent to the
extension of the time of payment or maturity of any Instruments, Accounts,
Chattel Paper, or General Intangibles.

        5.3 Right to Assign. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit
Agreement, U.S. Bank may assign or transfer the whole or any part of the Secured
Obligations and may transfer therewith U.S. Bank's security interests in the
whole or any part of the Collateral; and all obligations, rights, powers, and
privileges herein provided shall inure to the benefit of the assignee and shall
bind the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

        5.4 Duties Regarding Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, U.S.
Bank shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control,
or as to any preservation of any rights of or against other parties.

        5.5 Collection From Account Debtors. During the existence of any Event
of Default, Borrower shall, upon demand by U.S. Bank (and without any grace or
cure period), notify all Account Debtors to make payment to U.S. Bank of any
amounts due or to become due. Borrower authorizes U.S. Bank to contact the
Account Debtors for the purpose of having all or any of them pay their
obligations directly to U.S. Bank. Upon demand by U.S. Bank, Borrower shall
enforce collection of any indebtedness owed to it by Account Debtors.

        5.6 Inspection. U.S. Bank and its designees, from time to time at
reasonable times and intervals, may inspect the Equipment and Inventory and
inspect, audit, and make copies of and extracts from all records and all other
papers in the possession of Borrower.

        5.7 Assignee Deposit Account. Upon demand by U.S. Bank, during the
existence of an Event of Default, Borrower will transmit and deliver to U.S.
Bank, in the form received, immediately after receipt, all cash, checks, drafts,
Chattel Paper, Instruments, or other writings for the payment of money including
Investment Property (properly endorsed, where required, so that the items may be
collected by U.S. Bank) that may be received by Borrower at any time. All items
or amounts that are delivered by Borrower to U.S. Bank, or collected by U.S.
Bank from the Account Debtors, shall be deposited to the credit of a Deposit
Account ("Assignee Deposit Account") of Borrower with U.S. Bank, as security for
the payment of the Secured Obligations. Borrower shall have no right to withdraw
any funds deposited in the Assignee Deposit Account. U.S. Bank may, from time to
time in its discretion, and shall, upon the request of Borrower made not more
than twice in any week, apply all or any of the balance, representing collected
funds, in the Assignee Deposit Account, to payment of the Secured Obligations,
whether or not then due, in such order of application, not inconsistent with the
terms of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, as U.S. Bank may determine;
and U.S. Bank may, from time to time in its discretion, release all or any of
such balance to Borrower.

                  ARTICLE VI. U.S. BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

        6.1 General. During the existence of any Event of Default, U.S. Bank may
exercise its rights and remedies in the Credit Agreement and in any other Loan
Documents and any other rights and remedies at law and in equity, simultaneously
or consecutively, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The
choice of one or more rights or remedies shall not be construed as a waiver or
election barring other rights and remedies. Borrower hereby acknowledges and
agrees that U.S. Bank is not required to exercise all rights and remedies
available to it equally with respect to all the Collateral and that U.S. Bank
may select less than all the Collateral with respect to which the rights and
remedies as determined by U.S. Bank may be exercised.

        6.2 Notice of Sale; Duty to Assemble Collateral. In addition to or in
conjunction with the rights and remedies referred to in Section 6.1 hereof: 


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   39

        (a) Written notice mailed to Borrower at the address designated herein
ten days or more prior to the date of public or private sale of any of the
Collateral shall constitute reasonable notice.

        (b) If U.S. Bank requests, Borrower will assemble the Collateral and
make it available to U.S. Bank at places that U.S. Bank shall reasonably select,
whether on Borrower's premises or elsewhere.

                        ARTICLE VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

        7.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, sets forth all the promises, covenants,
agreements, conditions, and understandings between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements, or conditions,
express or implied, oral or written, with respect thereto, except as contained
or referred to herein. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged, or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is
sought.

        7.2 Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason
be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision hereunder, but this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.

        7.3 Nonwaiver and Nonexclusive Rights and Remedies.

        (a) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to U.S. Bank is
intended to be to the exclusion of any other right or remedy, but each and every
such right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
right or remedy given hereunder and now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity.

        (b) No delay or omission by U.S. Bank in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or an
acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the
same or of a different nature.

        7.4 Termination of Security Interest. When all the Secured Obligations
have been paid in full, the security interest provided herein shall terminate
and U.S. Bank shall return to Borrower all Collateral then held by U.S. Bank, if
any, and upon written request of Borrower, shall execute, in form for filing,
termination statements of the security interests herein granted. Thereafter, no
party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

        7.5 Successors and Assigns. All rights of U.S. Bank hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns, and all obligations of
Borrower shall be binding upon its successors and assigns.

        7.6 U.S. Bank's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

        (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints U.S. Bank and
any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time during the existence of an Event of Default, in U.S. Bank's discretion,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action, and to execute any and all documents and instruments that
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement; and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives U.S.
Bank the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without consent by or notice to
Borrower, to do the following during the existence of an Event of Default:

        (i) to transfer to U.S. Bank or to any other Person all or any of the
    Collateral, to endorse any Instruments pledged to U.S. Bank, and to fill in
    blanks in any transfers of Collateral, powers of attorney, or other
    documents delivered to U.S. Bank;

        (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or
    threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance
    called for by the terms of this Agreement, and to pay all or any part of the
    premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

        (iii) to take possession of, endorse, and collect any checks, drafts,
    notes, acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under
    any Account, Instrument, or General Intangible or with respect to any other
    Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding
    in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by U.S. Bank
    for the purpose of collecting all such moneys due under any Account,
    Financial Assets, Instrument, Investment Property, or General Intangible or
    with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; and

        (iv) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
    Collateral to make payment of all moneys due or to become due thereunder
    directly to U.S. Bank or as U.S. Bank shall direct; to ask for, demand,
    collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims
    and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising
    out of any Collateral; to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express
    bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
    debtors, assignments, verifications, notices, and other documents in
    connection with any of the Collateral; to commence and prosecute any suits,
    actions, or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
    jurisdiction to collect the Collateral and to enforce any other right in
    respect of any Collateral; to defend, settle, compromise, or adjust any
    suit, action, or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any
    Collateral and, in connection therewith, to give such discharge or releases
    as U.S. Bank may deem appropriate; to assign any Trademark (along with the
    goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout
    the world for such terms, on such


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   41
    conditions, and in such manner as U.S. Bank shall in its sole discretion
    determine; and generally, to sell, transfer, pledge, and make any agreement
    with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and
    completely as though U.S. Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all
    purposes; and to do, at U.S. Bank's option and Borrower's expense, at any
    time or from time to time, all acts and things that U.S. Bank deems
    necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and U.S.
    Bank's liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as
    fully and effectively as Borrower might do.

        (b) Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue of this appointment. This power of attorney is a
power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Secured
Obligations are paid in full.

        (c) Borrower also authorizes U.S. Bank, at any time and from time to
time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Article VI hereof,
any endorsements, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral.

        (d) The powers conferred on U.S. Bank hereunder are solely to protect
U.S. Bank's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon U.S.
Bank to exercise any such powers. U.S. Bank shall be accountable only for
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be
responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder.

        7.7 Performance by U.S. Bank of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower
fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and U.S.
Bank, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
expense of U.S. Bank incurred in connection with such performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be payable by Borrower to U.S.
Bank on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.

        7.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and shall
be governed by the laws of the state of Washington, without regard to the
state's rules and principles relating to conflicts of law.

        7.9 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands, approvals, and
other communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given, made, or
served if given, made or served in accordance with the notice provisions of
Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

        7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original Agreement, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>   42

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and U.S. Bank have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed by their respective duly authorized officers or agents, to be
