Recommended Option Conditions:

1.   Each option grant will be at an exercise price per share
     equal to market price at the time of grant.  Market price
     will be the mean of bid and ask prices recorded on the National
     Daily Quotation Service "pink sheet" for the effective date of
     the option grant.  If no activity is reported for that date the
     "pink sheet" with closest preceding date with recorded activity
     will establish market price.

2.   Each grant must be exercised by the optionee not later than
     three years (1095) days from the date of the grant.

3.   Options will be exercised in minimum blocks of 5,000 shares at
     any one time.  Options not exercised within the three year
     (1095 day) period from option grant will terminate and not carry
     over.

4.   Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended will apply to
     all stock acquired by exercise of the option grants.  Rule 144
     prohibits resale for a period of one year after acquisition and

<PAGE>
     restricts resale quantities for one additional year.  Each optionee
     shall make an independent inquiry as to all other restrictions.

5.   The company shall have the right, but not obligation, to
     register all or any portion of the optioned shares at any time.
     The intent of registration is to relieve the Rule 144 resale
     restrictions which may still be in force at the time of registration.

6.   In the event of termination of employment or board membership,
     the optionee shall have a period of ninety days in which to
     exercise any options which he has been granted, except under the
     conditions of paragraph 7 and 8, which shall supersede the
     provisions of this paragraph.  Unless otherwise extended by the
     board, all options terminated at the end of the ninety day period.

7.   If recapitalization and/or similar events result in the change
     of share unit values, the optionee will receive equivalent shares.
     If the company is not the surviving entity by virtue of merger,
     acquisition, etc., the optionee will have a window of ten days
     in which to exercise his option.  The last day of the window will
     be five days prior to the legal conclusion of any such event.

8.   In the event of company acquisition, merger, reorganization and
     other transactions altering the company structure any outstanding
     options then in force must be immediately exercised.

9.   Option grants are not transferable or assignable except to an
     employee's estate in accordance with the laws of inheritance in
     the event of optionee's death.

10.  All facets of the stock option program shall be appropriately
     documented in accordance with the advice of the company's legal
     counsels and shall comply with all relevant legal requirements
     in the State of Washington and all Securities and Exchange
     Commission rules, regulations, and disclosure requirements.
