indemnification of its directors and officers in Article V of its Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") and Article VII of its Amended
and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") which provide for indemnification of the

    WHEREAS, the indemnification provisions in the Bylaws provide that the right
of indemnification is a contract right of the covered parties;

under Section 23B.08.510 or .520 of the Act (as defined below) or a successor
statute;

    WHEREAS, the Company and the Indemnified Party recognize that the officers

the Company, the Company wishes to confirm the contract indemnification rights
provided in the Bylaws and agrees to provide Indemnified Party with the benefits
contemplated by this Agreement and to supplement the provisions of this
Agreement with directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the
Company.

rights and benefits, and the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company's
directors or executive officers most favorably insured by such policy.

            (c) The Company shall have no obligation to maintain D&O Insurance
if the Company, by majority vote of the Board of Directors, determines in good
faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, the premium costs for
such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit; provided, however, that such decision shall not adversely
affect coverage of D&O Insurance for periods prior to such decision without the
unanimous vote of all directors.

        3. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Indemnified Party up to
the Covered Amount and shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnified Party
in connection with any Proceeding or any Covered Act, subject, in each case, to
the further provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is made pursuant to and
to effectuate the indemnification provisions set forth in Article V of the
Articles of Incorporation and Article VII of the Bylaws. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the



                                       3
<PAGE>

Company shall indemnify Indemnified Party to the extent Indemnified Party is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding to
which Indemnified Party was a party because of being a director, officer,
employee, agent, fiduciary or consultant of the Company, against reasonable
Expenses incurred by Indemnified Party in connection with the Proceeding.

        4. Excluded Coverage. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnified Party for any Losses or Expenses which arise from an Excluded Claim.

        5. Indemnification Procedures.

            (a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnified
Party shall, if indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect thereto
may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the
commencement or the threat of commencement thereof.

            (b) If, at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has
D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement or the threat of commencement of such Proceeding to the appropriate
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies
in favor of Indemnified Party. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary
or desirable action to cause such insurers to, in accordance with the terms of
such policies: (i) advance, to the extent permitted by law, any and all Expenses
to Indemnified Party, (ii) pay, on behalf of Indemnified Party, all amounts
(including, without limitation, Losses and Expenses) payable as a result of, or
in connection with, such Proceeding and (iii) reimburse Indemnified Party for
all amounts (including, without limitation, Losses and Expenses) paid by
Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, such Proceeding.

            (c) To the extent the Company does not, at the time of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of such Proceeding, have
applicable D&O Insurance, or if a Determination is made that any Loss, Fine or
Expense of the Indemnified Party arising out of such Proceeding will not be
payable under the D&O Insurance then in effect, the Company shall be obligated
to pay the Covered Amount with respect to any Proceeding and to provide counsel
satisfactory to Indemnified Party upon the delivery to Indemnified Party of
written notice of the Company's election to do so. After delivery of such
notice, the Company will not be liable to Indemnified Party under this Agreement
for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party
in connection with such defense other than the reasonable Expenses of
investigation of Indemnified Party; provided, that Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with the defense of any
such Proceeding, the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after delivery
of notice from the Company of its assumption of such defense to be at the
Indemnified Party's sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnified Party has been previously authorized by the
Company, (ii) Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there
may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnified Party in the
conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in



                                       4
<PAGE>

fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each
such case, the fees and expenses of such counsel retained by Indemnified Party
shall be at the expense of the Company. In the event Indemnified Party is
entitled to employ counsel at the Company's expense pursuant to the terms of
this Paragraph 5(c), and if so requested in writing by Indemnified Party, the
Company shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnified Party to the extent
permitted by law.

            (d) All payments on account of the Company's indemnification or
advancement obligations under Paragraph 5(b) of this Agreement shall be made
within sixty (60) days of Indemnified Party's written request therefor unless a
Determination is made that the claims giving rise to Indemnified Party's request
are Excluded Claims or otherwise not payable under this Agreement. All payments
on account of the Company's obligations under Paragraph 5(c) of this Agreement
shall be made within 20 days of Indemnified Party's written request therefor,
subject to Paragraph 5(e) of this Agreement.

            (e) In the event that (i) a Determination is made that the claims
giving rise to Indemnified Party's request are Excluded Claims or otherwise not
payable under this Agreement or (ii) it is Adjudged that the Indemnified Party
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for Losses or Expenses under
this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Act, the
Company shall have no obligation to indemnify, or advance any Expenses to
Indemnified Party. Further, in either case, Indemnified Party agrees that he or
she will reimburse the Company for all Losses and Expenses paid by the Company
and all Expenses advanced by the Company in connection with such Proceeding
against Indemnified Party.

        6. Settlement. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any
Proceeding effected without the Company's prior written consent. The Company
shall not settle any claim in any manner which would impose any loss or expense
on Indemnified Party without Indemnified Party's prior written consent, unless
the Company provides a written undertaking to the Indemnified Party to pay for
such loss or expense on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Neither the Company nor
Indemnified Party shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed
settlement.

        7. Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights to which Indemnified Party may be entitled under
the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Act, any agreement or vote of
shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnified Party's
official capacity and as to action in any other capacity, and such rights shall
continue after Indemnified Party ceases to serve the Company as a director or
officer.

        8. Enforcement.

            (a) Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses hereunder shall be enforceable by Indemnified Party notwithstanding any
adverse Determination. In any such action, if a prior adverse Determination has
been made, the burden of proving that indemnification or advancement of Expenses
is required



                                       5
<PAGE>

under this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Act shall
be on the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have the burden of proving that
indemnification or advancement of Expenses is not required under this Agreement
if no prior adverse Determination shall have been made.

            (b) In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnified Party
under this Agreement, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this
Agreement, Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Indemnified Party with
respect to such action, unless the court determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnified Party as a basis for such action were not made in
good faith or were frivolous.

        9. No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre, or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that the Indemnified Party did not meet any
particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification or advancement of Expenses by the Company is not
permitted hereunder or by applicable law. In addition, neither the absence of a
Determination as to whether Indemnified Party has met any particular standard of
conduct or had any particular belief or the existence of a Determination that
Indemnified Party has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such
belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnified Party to
secure an Adjudication that Indemnified Party should be indemnified or advanced
or reimbursed Expenses hereunder or under applicable law, shall be a defense to
Indemnified Party's claim or create a presumption that Indemnified Party has not
met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.

        10. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnified Party, who shall execute all papers required and
shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to effectively bring
suit to enforce such rights.

        11. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Proceeding against
Indemnified Party to the extent Indemnified Party has otherwise actually
received payment (under any D&O Insurance, the Articles of Incorporation, the
Bylaws, the Act or otherwise) of the amounts which may be paid hereunder.

        12. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to require the Company to do or
to fail to do an act which is in violation of the Articles of Incorporation, the
Bylaws or the Act or other applicable law, such provision shall be limited or
modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid such
violation, and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the remainder of
this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with the respective terms.



                                       6
<PAGE>

        13. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without
reference to conflicts of law principles therein.

        14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be (i) binding upon all
successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets and any successor by merger or
otherwise by operation of law) and (ii) binding on and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, personal representatives and estate of Indemnified Party. Indemnified
Party may not assign this Agreement or any of Indemnified Party's rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

        15. Amendment. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation
of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing signed by each of
the parties hereto.
