Mr. Charles D. DeJong
Televar Northwest, Inc.

     Re:  Offering of Common Stock

Dear Charlie:

     In connection with the offer and proposed issuance (the "Offering") by
Televar Northwest, Inc., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), of up to
30,000 shares of Common Stock ("Shares") at $1.00 per share, the
undersigned prospective investor (the "Investor") and the Company hereby
agree as follows:

     1. Subscription. The Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to
purchase the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this
Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement") at a price of $1.00 per Share,
subject to the following conditions and understandings:

          a. Acceptance or Rejection. The Company, in its sole discretion
and for any reason, may accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in
part.

          b. Closing. The closing of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement is expected to take place within three (3) business days of the
date of this Agreement ("Closing"). On or before the Closing the Investor
will deliver to the Company a certified or cashier's or bank check for the
total price of the Shares subscribed for. At Closing the Company will
deliver to the Investor the certificate(s) representing the Shares in the
name of the Investor.

     2. Representations and Warranties. The Investor makes the
acknowledgments, representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2
with the intent that they will be relied upon in determining the Investor's
suitability as a purchaser of Shares. If the Investor includes or consists
of more than one person or entity, the obligations of the Investor shall be
joint and several and the acknowledgments, representations and warranties
herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person
or entity and the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

          a. No Regulatory Review. The Investor acknowledges and
understands that this is a limited offering being made solely to the
Investor and that no federal, state or other agency has made any finding or
determination as to the fairness of the investment nor made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.



                                    -1-

          b. Ability to Evaluate. The Investor, by reason of the Investor's
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters is capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Shares. The
Investor recognizes that the Shares are speculative and that investment in
the Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Investor is prepared to bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to withstand a
total loss of the Investor's investment in the Shares.

          c. Investment Intent. The Investor acknowledges that the purchase
of Shares hereunder is being made for the Investor's own account, for
investment purposes only and not with the present intention of distributing
or reselling the Shares in whole or in part. The Investor further
understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any state securities laws by
reason of specific exemptions therefrom, which depend upon, among other
things, the accuracy of the Investor's representations as expressed in this
Agreement. The Investor acknowledges that transfer of the Shares is
restricted under the Act and under applicable state securities laws. The
Investor further acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to
consult with his or her counsel regarding the restrictions on resale of the
Shares prior to any resale thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event the Company registers all or any part of its common capital stock for
sale to the general public, the Investor shall have piggyback registration
rights with respect to a portion of the Shares. In particular, the Company
shall register 50% of the Shares purchased hereunder, which Shares shall
thereafter be freely tradable upon the effective date of the Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The balance of
the Shares shall be subject to restrictions upon sale in accordance with
state and federal securities laws.

          d. Investment Information. The Investor has received and read the
disclosure materials dated April 1996, consisting of the Business Plan and
Financial Statements (collectively, the "Memorandum"), prior to the
execution of this Agreement. The Investor will rely solely upon the
Memorandum and independent investigations made by the Investor in making a
decision to purchase the Shares. In particular, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on, and the
Investor's decision to subscribe for Shares has not been influenced by: (i)
newspaper, magazine or other media articles or reports related to the
Company or its business; (ii) promotional literature or other materials
used by the Company for sales or marketing purposes; or (iii) any other
written or oral statement of the Company or persons purporting to represent
the Company, except the Memorandum or oral statements of management of the
Company furnished or communicated to the Investor in connection with the
Offering. The Investor has had the opportunity to discuss all aspects of
this transaction with management of the Company, has made or has had the
opportunity to make such inspection of the books and records of the Company
as the Investor has deemed necessary in connection with this investment,
and any questions asked have been answered to the satisfaction of the
Investor; however, no written representations apart from the Memorandum
have been made to the Investor.



                                    -2-

<PAGE>



          e. Confidentiality. The Investor understands that the Memorandum
is confidential. The Investor has not distributed the Memorandum, or
divulged the contents thereof, to anyone other than such legal or financial
advisors as the Investor has deemed necessary for purposes of evaluating an
investment in the Shares and no one (except such advisors) has used the
Memorandum, and the Investor has not made any copies thereof.

          f. Authorization and Formation of Subscriber. The Investor, if a
corporation, partnership, trust or other form of business entity, is
authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold Shares and
such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
Shares in the Offering. If the Investor is one of the aforementioned
entities, it hereby agrees that upon request of the Company it will supply
the Company with any additional written information that may be requested
by the Company.

     3. Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Section 2
herein will survive the Closing.

     4. Reliance on Representations and Warranties; Indemnity. The Investor
understands that the Company will rely on the representations and
warranties of the Investor herein in determining whether a sale of the
Shares to the Investor is in compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws. The Investor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the
Company and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates
harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred on account of or arising
out of: (a) any inaccuracy in the Investor's acknowledgments,
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; (b) the
disposition of any of the Shares which the Investor will receive, contrary
to the Investor's acknowledgments, representations and warranties in this
Agreement; (c) any suit or proceeding based upon the claim that said
acknowledgments, representations or warranties were inaccurate or
misleading or otherwise cause for obtaining damages or redress from the
Company or its affiliates or the disposition of all or any part of the
Investor's Shares; and (d) the Investor's failure to fulfill any or all of
the Investor's obligations herein.

     5. Updating Information. All of the information set forth herein with
respect to the Investor, including, without limitation, all of the
acknowledgments, representations and warranties set forth herein, is
correct and complete as of the date hereof and, if there should be any
material change in such information prior to the acceptance of this
subscription by the Company, the Investor will immediately furnish the
revised or corrected information to the Company.

     6. Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and sent by registered

Company, to: Televar Northwest, Inc., 215 Yakima Street, Wenatchee,
