         Employee's location of employment shall be at the Company's principal
executive offices in Portland, Oregon. The Corporation may not transfer Employee
to any other location without Employee's prior written consent unless the
transfer is at the Corporation's expense and results from the relocation of the
Company's principal executive offices and the relocation thereto of other
executive officers of the Corporation.

         3. Compensation. As compensation for the services to be rendered by the
Employee to the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement during the Term:

                  (a) Salary. The Corporation shall pay the Employee a base
salary at the annualized rate of Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars
($275,000.00), payable in accordance with the Corporation's usual payroll
practices, and subject to withholding therefrom of federal and state income
taxes, any other employment taxes required to be collected or withheld by the
Corporation, and other amounts required or requested by Employee to be withheld.
Such salary shall be subject to annual review but not reduction by the Board of
Directors and Compensation Committee of the Corporation.

                  (b) Bonus. The Corporation shall pay the Employee a bonus to
be calculated according to the following formula: the bonus shall be in the
amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for each million dollars of earnings
of the Corporation, for fiscal year 2002, before depreciation, amortization
(excluding the amortization on loan fees and other finance costs shown in the
other expense section of the projected income statement for 2002, as presented
to the Board of Directors on January 3, 2002) and taxes, excluding any one-time
gain from the sale of assets and any one-time charge. The bonus shall be
calculated after the Corporation's audit for the year 2002. The Corporation
shall pay the Employee an advance against the bonus of $25,000 per quarter,
commencing April 1, 2002. If the bonus is insufficient to cover the advances,
such advances shall be applied to the following year's bonus to the extent they
exceed the 2002 bonus. The Employee's bonus for the years 2003 and 2004 shall be
determined by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the
Corporation , but the basis for determining the bonus, as set forth above, shall
not be changed in such a way as to reduce the amount of the bonus unless
Employee receives base salary and bonus for the year in question of at least six
hundred thousand dollars ($600,000).

                  (c) Insurance, etc. Subject to the Employee's meeting the
eligibility requirements of the provider(s) (including without limitation any
waiting periods), the Employee shall be eligible to participate in any health
care plan, dental care plan, life insurance plan, long-term disability insurance
plan, retirement plan, 401(k) plan and any other employee benefit plan sponsored
or maintained by the Corporation from time to time, on the same basis as other
employees of the Corporation similarly situated. Nothing in this Section 3(c)
shall obligate the Corporation to sponsor, maintain or provide access to any
such plan generally or limit the discretion of the Corporation to terminate or
modify the terms of any such plan or change providers thereof.

                  (f) Moving Expenses. The Corporation shall pay directly or
reimburse the Employee, at the Employee's option, for all reasonable, itemized
allocable moving expenses, up to one hundred fifty thousand ($150,000.00)
dollars, incurred in connection with the Employee relocating to the Portland,
Oregon area.

                  (g) Apartment. In connection with the Employee relocating to
the Portland, Oregon area, the Corporation shall reimburse the Employee for all
rental and related payments for an apartment in Portland, Oregon for up to six
months, provided that the cost of the apartment shall not be unreasonable in the
reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

                  (h) Automobile. The Corporation shall reimburse the Employee
for all lease payments and other automobile-related expenses incurred in
connection with the Employee's leasing and use of an automobile during the term
of this Agreement, provided that such lease payments and other
automobile-related costs shall not be unreasonable in the reasonable opinion of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation. At Employee's option, the Corporation
will instead pay Employee an automobile allowance of six hundred dollars
($600.00) per month plus reimburse Employee for gasoline and reasonable
maintenance.

                  (i) Stock Options. Pursuant to a separate stock option
agreement to be entered into between the Corporation and the Employee, the
Employee shall receive a non-qualified stock option for the purchase of
sixty-five thousand (65,000) shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). The option shall vest over three years at
the rate of 59.30657 shares per calendar day. The exercise price for each share

developed, and that any inconsistencies between this section and said stock
option plan shall be controlled by the stock option plan, provided that the
exercise price, number of shares and vesting schedule shall not be adversely
affected thereby.

apply for and procure in its own name and for its own benefit, life insurance on

         5. Restrictions on the Disclosure of Proprietary Information.

                  (a) Proprietary Information. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "Proprietary Information" shall mean all confidential knowledge and
information in any form or medium which the Employee acquires, learns or becomes
aware of as a result of or in connection with his employment with the
Corporation concerning (i) the Corporation's business, financial condition,
operations, strategic planning, research and development activities, current or
proposed products, product designs, trade secrets, competitive business
information, patents, patent rights, inventions, technology, copyrights,
software (including without limitation, source code, object code and firmware),

to time enters a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement pursuant to which
the Corporation is obligated to keep such third party's information
confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary Information does not
include information (1) which is or becomes part of the public domain through no
fault of the Employee, or (2) which the Employee can demonstrate was
independently developed by him without use of or reference to any Proprietary
Information.

                  (b) Non-disclosure and Non-use Obligations. The Employee
agrees that he will not at any time, without the prior written consent of the
Corporation (which shall be evidenced by a writing signed by a majority of the
Corporation's Board of Directors or by action taken by the Board of Directors at
a meeting), either during or after any termination of this Agreement, divulge or
disclose to anyone outside the Corporation or its professional advisers, or use
or permit any third party to use for its own benefit, any such Proprietary
Information. The Employee will not, during his or her engagement by the
Corporation hereunder or at any time thereafter, use or attempt to use any such
Proprietary Information for any purpose other than the Employee's provision of
services to the Corporation, and in no event in any manner which may injure or
cause loss or may be calculated or reasonably expected to injure or cause loss
to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, Employee
may divulge or disclose Proprietary Information to Employee's legal advisers,
provided that such advisors agree to keep such Proprietary Information
confidential, or in response to a court or arbitration order.

         The Employee further agrees not to make any notes, memoranda, flow
charts, logic diagrams, specifications, reports, compilations, analyses,
sketches, drawings, technical data, source code, object code, models or other
physical manifestations (or copies thereof) relating to

any matter within the scope of the Proprietary Information at any time otherwise
than for the benefit of the Corporation, or, either during or after the
termination of this Agreement, to use or permit to be used any such information
(or copies thereof) otherwise than for the benefit of the Corporation. Upon
termination of this Agreement, the Employee shall deliver to the Corporation at
its address set forth above all such notes, memoranda, flow charts, logic
diagrams, specifications, reports, compilations, analyses, sketches, drawings,
technical data, source code, object code, models and other physical
manifestations and any other related information and all copies thereof made
during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph, Employee may retain, for a reasonable time, such copies as Employee
reasonably believes may be necessary for legal reasons or upon advice of legal
counsel for the purpose of defending Employee in any pending or threatened
litigation.

                           its affiliates, the Employee shall not, directly or
                           indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage to leave the
                           employment of the Corporation or any of its
                           affiliates, any employee of the Corporation or its

                           of such employee's employment with the Corporation or
                           any of its affiliates.

                           Corporation. During the Restricted Period and for a
                           period of six months following the termination
                           (whether for cause of otherwise) of the Employee's
                           employment with the Corporation or any of its
                           affiliates, the Employee shall not, directly or
                           indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage to cease to
                           work with the Corporation or any of its affiliates,
                           any consultant, sales representative or other person
                           then under contract with the Corporation or any of
                           its affiliates.

                  (b) Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Employee breaches,
or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 6(a) (the
"Restrictive Covenants"), the Corporation shall have the following rights and
remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other
and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the
Corporation under law or in equity.

                  (i)      Specific Performance. The right and remedy to have
                           the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by
                           any court having equity jurisdiction, it being
                           acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or
                           threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to
                           the Corporation and its affiliates and that money
                           damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the
                           Corporation.

                  (ii)     Accounting. The right and remedy to require the
                           Employee to account for and pay over to the
                           Corporation all compensation, profits, monies,
                           accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively,
                           "Benefits") derived or received by the Employee as a
                           result of any transactions constituting a breach of
                           any of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Employee
                           shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the
                           Corporation.

                  (c) Severability of Covenants. If any court determines that
any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any parts thereof, are invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be
affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

                  (d) "Blue-Penciling". If any court construes any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the
duration of such provision or the area

                                       6
<PAGE>
                                                                   Exhibit 10.19

covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area
of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable and shall be enforced.

                  (e) Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The parties intend to and
hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts
of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants.
If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive
Covenants wholly unenforceable under the law of that jurisdiction by reason of
the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that
such determination not bar or in any way affect the Corporation's right to the
relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the
geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such
Restrictive Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such Restrictive
Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable
into diverse and independent covenants.

         7. Termination.

                  (a) Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the date first
above written and shall continue in effect for three (3) years unless earlier
terminated in one of the following manners, or upon the occurrence of one of the
following events (with the period from the date hereof until the date of such
expiration or earlier termination being referred to herein as the "Term"):

                  (i)      upon the Employee's death.

                  (ii)     if the Employee becomes "Disabled." As used herein,
                           the term "Disabled" shall mean the inability of the
                           Employee to substantially perform the Employee's
                           duties under this Agreement for a period in excess of
                           either three (3) consecutive months or a total of one
                           hundred eighty (180) days in any twelve (12) month
                           period by reason of any incapacity, physical or
                           mental, which the Corporation's Board of Directors,
                           based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by
                           Employee's treating physician, determines to have
                           incapacitated the Employee from satisfactorily
                           performing all of the Employee's usual services for
                           the Corporation during the foreseeable future. The
                           Board of Directors may elect to have Employee
                           examined by a duly licensed independent physician,
                           and Employee agrees to submit to such examination. In
                           the event Employee's treating physician and any such
                           independent physician are unable to agree as to
                           whether Employee is Disabled, then the two physicians
                           shall select a third physician and the opinion of any
                           two of the three physicians shall be determinative.

                  (iv)     by the Corporation for "Cause." As used herein,
                           "Cause" shall mean the failure by the Employee to
                           observe any material provision of this Agreement or
                           any other agreement, or any breach of any of the
                           Employee's covenants, agreements, representations or
                           warranties in any agreement between the Corporation
                           and the Employee which default or breach continues
                           ten (10) days after Employee receives notice thereof
                           specifying each claimed breach or default, or any act
                           committed by the Employee involving fraud, gross
                           negligence or willful disregard of duty,
                           insubordination (after written notice of the
                           particulars and a reasonable -- under the
                           circumstances -- opportunity to correct the conduct
                           constituting the basis for such alleged
                           insubordination), or other willful misconduct, the
                           Employee's indictment or arraignment on any felony
                           charges, or any conduct involving moral turpitude.

                  (b) Termination of Obligations. Upon the termination of the
Employee's employment hereunder, all benefits hereunder shall thereupon
terminate as of the date of termination, and the Employee shall return to the
Corporation all of the Corporation's property in his possession or under his
control, including all files, keys, reports and other tangible and intangible
property of any kind, nature or description. The provisions of Sections 5
through 19 shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement. The Employee shall receive all salary, bonuses and stock options pro
rata to the extent earned as of the date of termination, as well as any other
compensation to which he may be entitled under Section 7(d).

                  (c) Repayment of Moving Expenses. If, within one year of the
date of this Agreement, (i) the Employee voluntarily (excluding death and
disability) terminates his Employment with the Corporation, or (ii) the
Corporation terminates the Employee's employment for Cause, then the Employee
shall reimburse the Corporation for all moving expenses previously paid to the
Employee or on the Employee's behalf, within thirty (30) days.

                  (d) Severance. If, within one year of the date of this
Agreement, the Corporation terminates the Employee's employment without Cause,
then the Corporation shall continue to pay the Employee his then current salary,
bonuses and stock options pro rata, and other benefits (to the extent eligible),
as of the date of termination, for six months following the date of the
termination. Upon the termination of Employee's employment hereunder due to
Employee's death or due to Employee becoming Disabled, Employee's salary,
bonuses and stock options pro rata, and other benefits (to the extent eligible)
hereunder shall continue for a period of six months following such termination.

         8. Prior Agreements. The Employee represents and warrants that he is
not a party to or bound by an agreement which in any way prevents, limits,
impairs or otherwise affects his ability to enter into and/or fully and timely
perform his obligations under this Agreement, other than the terms of a
Separation Agreement between Employee and his current employer, which terms have
been furnished to the Corporation.

         9. Waiver. A party's failure to insist on compliance or enforcement of
any provision of this Agreement, shall not affect the validity or enforceability
or constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that provision or of any other
provision of this Agreement by that party or any other party.

court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction and authority. The arbitrator shall
award such damages or other relief as he deems appropriate and may, but shall
not be required to, award legal fees and costs to the prevailing party. All
costs of such arbitration (excluding fees, disbursements and expenses of
counsel, advisors, witnesses and experts) shall be borne equally by the parties,
subject to the arbitrator's award of costs and legal fees, if any. This Section
11 shall not prevent the Corporation from seeking or obtaining injunctive relief
where such remedy is the appropriate form of remedy under the circumstances,
including, without limitation, for any breach of Section 6 or 7 above.

         11. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
in the Agreement shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in
all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been in the
Agreement.

                         ASSISTED LIVING CONCEPTS, INC.

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is
entered into effective as of the effective date (the "Effective Date") of the
Company's plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Case (as defined below), by
and between Assisted Living Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and Sandra Campbell (the "Executive"). This Agreement amends and
restates in its entirety that certain Employment Agreement, dated December 31,
1997, between the Company and the Executive, as amended (the "Original
Agreement").

         WHEREAS, on October 1, 2001 the Company commenced a case under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Case");

         WHEREAS the Company and the Executive desire to continue the
Executive's employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth
below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recital and the
respective covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this document,
the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

         1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES. The Executive will serve as Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. The duties and
responsibilities of the Executive shall include the duties and responsibilities
as set forth in the Company's Bylaws from time to time in effect and such other
duties and responsibilities as the board of directors of the Company (the "Board
of Directors") or as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company may from time to
time reasonably assign the Executive, in all cases to be consistent with the
Executive's corporate offices and positions. The Executive shall also serve as
an officer and/or director of affiliates of the Company, without additional
compensation, if requested to do so by the Company. The Executive shall devote
her full time to the business of the Company and shall faithfully perform the
executive duties assigned to her to the best of her ability but may devote
reasonable time to other business affairs (not in conflict with the business of
the Company) as provided in paragraph 12.

         2. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  (a) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION. The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment at any time. If the Company terminates the Executive's
employment for any reason other than Cause or Disability, each as defined below,
the provisions of paragraphs 13(a)(i) and 13(b) shall apply. Upon termination of
the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive's rights under any
applicable benefit plans shall be determined under the provisions of those
plans. If the Company gives the Executive advance notice that it intends to
terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability, such
notice shall not exceed ninety

                                                                   Exhibit 10.20

(90) days, and during the period following such notice, the Executive's duties
hereunder shall be transitional in nature and the Executive shall be permitted
to begin seeking other employment.

                  (b) DEATH. The Executive's employment will terminate in the
event of her death. The Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide any
compensation or benefits under this Agreement on account of the Executive's
death except as contemplated in paragraph 13(a)(iii). The Executive's rights
under any applicable benefit plans of the Company in the event of the
Executive's death will be determined under the provisions of those plans.

                  (c) DISABILITY. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for Disability by giving the Executive not less than sixty (60) days
advance notice in writing. For all purposes under this agreement, "Disability"
shall mean that the Executive, at the time notice is given, has been unable to
substantially perform her duties under this Agreement for a period of not less
than ninety (90) days due to physical or mental illness. The determination of
the Executive's Disability hereunder shall be made by a two-thirds (2/3)
majority of the Company's Board of Directors and shall be based upon advice from
such medical professionals and upon such medical and other records as the
Company's Board of Directors may deem appropriate. In the event that the
Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of her duties hereunder
before the termination of her employment under this subparagraph (c) becomes
effective, the notice of termination shall automatically be deemed to have been
revoked. No compensation or benefits will be paid or provided to the Executive
under this Agreement on account of termination for Disability, or for periods
following the date when such a termination of employment is effective. The
Executive's rights under any applicable benefit plans of the Company shall be
determined under the provisions of those plans.

                  (d) CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for Cause by giving the Executive notice in writing. For all purposes
under this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) willful failure by the Executive to
perform her duties hereunder, other than a failure resulting from the
Executive's complete or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
impairment, (ii) gross negligence by the Executive in performing her duties
hereunder, other than negligence resulting from the Executive's complete or
partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or impairment, (iii) a
willful act by the Executive which constitutes gross misconduct and which is
injurious to the Company, (iv) a violation of a federal or state law or
regulation applicable to the business of the Company. No act or failure to act
by the Executive shall be considered "willful" unless committed without good
faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the
Company's best interest. The determination of Cause hereunder shall be made by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors. No Compensation or benefits will
be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement on account of a
termination for Cause. Executive's rights under any applicable benefit plans of
the Company shall be determined under the provisions of those plans.

                  (e) RESIGNATION DUE TO CHANGE IN CONTROL OR DIMINUTION IN
DUTIES. In the event that there is a Change in Control of the Company (as
defined below) or in the event that the Company materially reduces the scope
and/or authority of the Executive's duties with the Company, then the Executive
may terminate her employment by giving the Company not less

                                                                   Exhibit 10.20

than thirty (30) days advance written notice. In such event, the provisions of
paragraph 13(a)(ii) shall apply and the Executive's rights under any applicable
benefit plans of the Company shall be determined under the provisions of those
plans. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Change in Control" shall mean
the occurrence of any of the following events subsequent to the Effective Date:

                           (i) Any "person" (such as the term is used in Section
13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented
by the Company's then outstanding voting securities; or

                           (ii) Any merger or consolidation of the Company with
any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in
the voting securities of the Company immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by
the Company's then outstanding voting securities (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or such
other surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation); or

                           (iii) A majority of the directors of the Company
which were not nominated by the Company's management (or were nominated by
management pursuant to an agreement with person that acquired sufficient voting
securities of the Company to de facto control it) are elected to the Board of
Directors by the Company's shareholders; or

                           (iv) The shareholders of the Company approve a plan
of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following
events shall constitute a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement: (a)
the implementation by the Company (including, without limitation, a change in
the composition of the Board of Directors and/or the issuance of new securities
by the Company) of its plan of reorganization in connection with the Bankruptcy
Case; or (b) the issuance of a final court order approving the plan of
reorganization filed by the Company in connection with the Bankruptcy Case.

                  (f) RESIGNATION WITHOUT CAUSE. The Executive may terminate her
employment for reasons other than those referred to in paragraph 2(e) hereof by
giving the Company not less than forty-five (45) days advance written notice;
provided that in such event, the Executive will cease her employment immediately
or at any time during such forty-five (45) day period, if so requested by the
Company. In such event the provisions of paragraph 13(a)(iii) shall apply and
the Executive's rights under any applicable benefit plans of the Company shall
be determined under the provisions of those plans.

         4. BASE SALARY. For all services to be rendered by the Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Executive an annual

payroll practices. The Company agrees to review Executive's Base Salary at least
annually as of the anniversary of her employment and to make such increases
therein as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may approve.

         5. BONUS. For each fiscal year during the term of the Executive's
employment hereunder, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus
(the "Bonus") based upon an Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan")
to be developed by executive management of the Company and approved and adopted
by the Board of Directors. This Plan will include the terms, conditions and
formula for computing bonuses for the Company's senior executive officers for
each fiscal year. The Executive's level of participation in the Plan shall be
commensurate with her position with the Company and shall be consistent with the
level of participation by the Company's other senior executive officers (other
than its Chief Executive Officer).

         6. CASH PAYMENT. Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Company
shall pay the Executive a lump-sum cash payment in the amount of $100,000,
subject to such withholding and other normal employee deductions as may be
required by law.

         7. STOCK OPTIONS. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the
Company's stock option and other equity incentive plans, if any, subject to the
terms and conditions of such plans.

         8. EXPENSES. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the
Company for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary travel, entertainment and
other expenses incurred by the Executive during the term of the Executive's
employment hereunder (in accordance with the policies and procedures established
by the Company for its senior executive officers) in the performance of her
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Executive shall properly account for such expenses in accordance with the
Company's policies and procedures.

         9. BENEFITS. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in employee
benefit plans or programs of the Company, if any, to the extent that her
position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make her eligible
to participate, subject to the rules and regulations applicable thereto. In
addition the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual physical
examination at Company expense; or at the Company's request, will take a
physical examination annually and provide the results to the Company.

         10. VACATIONS AND HOLIDAYS. The Executive shall be entitled to paid
vacation time in the amount of four weeks per year and Company holidays in

that provides the Executive with the maximum amount of protection allowed under
the laws of Nevada to the extent that such protection is not inconsistent with
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to such
subject matter.

         12. OTHER ACTIVITIES. The Executive shall devote substantially all of
her working time and efforts during the Company's normal business hours to the
business and affairs of the Company and to the diligent and faithful performance
of the duties and responsibilities duly assigned to her pursuant to this
Agreement, except for vacations, holidays and sickness. The Executive may,
however, devote a reasonable amount of her time, in general after the regular
business hours of the Company, to civic, community or charitable activities and,
with the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, to serve as a
director of other corporations and other types of businesses or public
activities not expressly mentioned in this paragraph.

         13. TERMINATION BENEFITS. In the event the Executive's employment
terminates, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive severance and other
benefits as follows:

                  (a) SEVERANCE.

                           (i) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION. If the Company
terminates the Executive's employment other than for Death, Disability or Cause,
then in lieu of any severance benefits to which the Executive may otherwise be
entitled under any Company severance plan or program, the Executive shall be
entitled to payment of her Base Salary for a period of one year immediately
following the date of termination of her employment, which Base Salary shall be
paid to her in periodic installments in accordance with the Company's regular
payroll practices; provided, however, that the Company's obligations hereunder
shall cease upon a breach by the Executive of her obligations under paragraphs
14, 15, 18 and 20 hereof.

                           (ii) RESIGNATION; CHANGE IN CONTROL; DIMINUTION IN

paragraph 2(e) hereof as a result of a Change in Control of the Company or as a
result of the Board of Directors materially reducing the scope and/or authority
of the Executive's duties as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of the Company, then in lieu of any severance benefits to which the
Executive may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan or program,
the Executive shall be entitled to payment of her Base Salary for a period of
one year immediately following the date of termination of her employment, which
Base Salary shall be paid to her in periodic installments in accordance with the
Company's regular payroll practices; provided, however, that the Company's
obligations hereunder shall cease upon a breach by the Executive of her
obligations under paragraphs 14, 15, 18 and 20 hereof.

                           (iii) OTHER TERMINATION. In the event the Executive's
employment terminates for any reason other than the Company's breach of this
Agreement or as described in paragraph 13(a)(i) or 13(a)(ii) above, including by
reason of the Executive's death or disability or resignation pursuant to
paragraph 2(f) hereof, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any
severance payment or any other benefits, except as are provided in the Company's
severance and benefit plans and policies at the time of such termination.

                  (b) BONUSES. In the event the Executive's employment is
terminated by the Company as described in paragraph 13(a)(i) or by the Executive
as described in paragraph 13(a)(ii) above, then the Executive shall be entitled
to receive a portion of the Bonus, computed under the Company's Executive
Incentive Compensation Plan referred to in paragraph 5, which Bonus will be
determined, after the end of the fiscal year, by multiplying the amount of the
Bonus which would have become payable to the Executive had she remained employed
until the end of the fiscal year, by a fraction, the numerator of which will be
the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company in such fiscal
year, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the fiscal
year. In the event the Executive's employment terminates for any other reason,
then the Executive shall not be entitled to any Bonus which has not accrued as
of such date.

         14. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The Executive shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, disclose or use for any purpose (except in the
course of her employment under this Agreement and in furtherance of the business
of the Company) any confidential information or proprietary data of the Company.
As an express condition of the Executive's employment with the Company, the
Executive agrees to execute confidentiality agreements as requested by the
Company, including but not limited to the Company's standard form of employee
proprietary information agreement.

         15. ABSENCE OF CONFLICT. The Executive represents and warrants that her
employment by the Company as described herein shall not conflict with and will
not be constrained by any prior employment or consulting agreement or
relationship.

         16. ARBITRATION. Except as provided in paragraph 18(b)(1) any dispute
or controversy of any kind arising under or in connection with this Agreement
shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in Portland, Oregon, in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect
by an arbitrator selected by both parties within ten (10) days after either
party has notified the other in writing that it desires a dispute between them
to be settled by arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree on such
arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, each party shall select an
arbitrator and inform the other party in writing of such arbitrator's name and
address within five (5) days after the end of such ten (10) day period and the
two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator within fifteen (15)
days thereafter; provided, however, that in the event of a failure by either
party to select an arbitrator and notify the other party of such selection
within the time period provided above, the arbitrator selected by the other
party shall be the sole arbitrator of the dispute. Each party shall pay her or
its own attorneys fee and expenses associated with such arbitration, including
the expense of any

                                       6

arbitrator selected by such party and the Company will pay the expenses of the
jointly selected arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the
panel of arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties and judgment in
accordance with that decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereover. Punitive damages shall not be awarded.

BY AGREEING TO SUBMIT A DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY TO ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL NOT ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF A JURY TRIAL. ACCORDINGLY,
THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

         17. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon as applied to agreements
between Oregon residents entered and to be performed entirely within Oregon.

         18. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE.

                  (a) RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Executive acknowledges that (i)
the Executive's work for the Company will bring her into close contact with many
confidential affairs not readily available to the public; and (ii) the Company
would not enter into this Agreement but for the agreements and covenants of the
Executive contained herein. In order to induce the Company to enter into this
Employment Agreement, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

                           (1) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the term of the
Executive's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months
following the termination (whether for cause of otherwise) of the Executive's
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates (the "Restricted Period"),
the Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall
not use for the benefit of himself or others except in connection with the
business and affairs of the Company, all confidential matters of the Company and
its affiliates. Such confidential matters include, without limitation, trade
secrets, customer lists, subscription lists, details of consultant contracts,
pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product
development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, new personnel
acquisition plans, methods of manufacture, technical processes, designs and
design projects, inventions and research projects of the Company and its
affiliates, learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter that are
sufficiently secret to have the possibility, whether or not realized, of
deriving economic value from not being generally known to other persons who can
obtain economic value from their disclosure or use, and the Executive shall not
disclose them to anyone outside of the Company and its affiliates, either during
or after employment, by the Company or any of its affiliates, except as required
in the course of performing duties hereunder or with the Company's express
written consent. The Executive's obligations pursuant to this Employment
Agreement shall not extend to matters which are within the public domain or
hereafter enter the public domain through no fault or action or failure to act,
whether directly or indirectly, on the part of the Executive.

                           (2) PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY. All memoranda, notes,
lists, records and other documents (and all copies thereof) made or compiled by
the Executive or made available to the Executive concerning the business of the
Company or any of its affiliates shall be the Company's property and shall be
delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company or any of its affiliates or at any other time on
request.

                           (3) EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY. During the Restricted
Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or
encourage to leave the employment of the Company or any of its affiliates, any
employee of the Company or its affiliates or hire any such employee who has left
the employment of the Company or any of its affiliates within one year of the
termination of such employee's employment with the Company or any of its
affiliates.

                           (4) CONSULTANTS AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF THE
COMPANY. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or any
of its affiliates, any consultant, sales representative or other person then
under contract with the Company or any of its affiliates.

                  (b) RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. If the Executive
breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of paragraph
18(a) (the "Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have the following rights
and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the
other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to
the Company under law or in equity:

                           (1) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The right and remedy to
have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity
jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and its
affiliates and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the
Company. The Parties further agree that the Company's claim for specific
performance shall not be a claim which is covered by the parties' agreement to
arbitrate as set forth in paragraph 16.

                           (2) ACCOUNTING. The right and remedy to require the
Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits,
monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, "Benefits")
derived or received by the Executive as a result of any transactions
constituting a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Executive
shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company.

                  (c) SEVERABILITY OF COVENANTS. If any court determines that
any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any parts thereof, are invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be
affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

                  (d) "BLUE-PENCILING". If any court construes any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the
duration of such provision or

                                       8
<PAGE>
                                                                   Exhibit 10.20

the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration
or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable and shall be enforced.

                  (e) ENFORCEABILITY IN JURISDICTIONS. The parties intend to and
hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts
of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants.
If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive
Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or
otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that such determination not bar or
in any way affect the Company's right to the relief provided above in the courts
of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive
Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction
being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

         19. SUCCESSORS. The Company will require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall entitle the Executive to
the benefits described in paragraphs 13(a)(i) and 13(b) of this Agreement,
subject to the terms and conditions therein.

         20. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and all rights under this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
parties hereto and their respective personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, legatees, successors
and assigns. This Agreement is personal in nature, and, except as provided in
paragraph 19 hereof, neither of the parties to this Agreement shall, without the
written consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or
obligation under this Agreement to any other person or entity. If the Executive
should die while any amounts are still payable to the Executive hereunder, all
such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other
designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

         21. NOTICES. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
delivered personally or sent by United States certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

                               Attention:  President and Chief Executive Officer

                               with a copy to:  Chief Financial Officer

party has previously furnished to the other party in writing in accordance with
this paragraph. Such notices or other communications shall be effective upon
delivery or, if earlier, three (3) days after they have been mailed as provided
above.

         22. WAIVER. Failure or delay on the part of either party hereto to
enforce any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver thereof. Additionally, a waiver by either party of a breach
of any promise hereof by the other party shall not operate as or be construed to
constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party.

         23. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective, valid and enforceable
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or
rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will
not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement
will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

         24. RIGHT TO ADVICE OF COUNSEL. The Executive acknowledges that she has
consulted with counsel and is fully aware of her rights and obligations under
this Agreement.

         25. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, none of which need contain the signature of more than one party
hereto, and each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which
together shall constitute a single agreement,

         26. INTEGRATION. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral (including,
without limitation, the Original Agreement). No waiver, alteration or
modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless
in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.

         27. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective as of the
Effective Date. Notwithstanding the prior execution of this Agreement, the
Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective
Date.
