Dear Stacey:

This letter is intended to reflect your most recent discussions with Doug
McCormick regarding your compensation package at TTM to ensure that we are in
agreement on the following terms. Please call to discuss or acknowledge your
agreement with your signature below and return the original.

       I.     TITLE:  Chief Financial Officer

       II.    START DATE:  Your official start date will be February 25, 2000.
              However, during the interim period you will be expected to spend
              50% of your work days at TTM according to a schedule to be
              mutually agreed upon with TTM management. (Note, you will get
              three weeks of vesting and year end bonus accrual for this interim
              period.)

      III.    SALARY:  Your starting base salary will be $160,000 per year, paid
              semi-monthly as is consistent with TTM policy. Your salary will be
              subject to annual review based upon performance.

       IV.    TARGET BONUS:  As a member of the senior management team, you will
              participate in the annual incentive cash compensation pool. The
              amount of the bonus pool is subject to the financial performance
              of the Company based on the 2000 budget submitted by management
              and approved by the Board of Directors. If the overall targets of
              the company are achieved, you will be eligible to receive a bonus
              up to fifty percent (50%) of your base salary. The bonus pool is
              determined by the financial levels achieved by the Company. Fifty
              percent (50%) of your bonus is awarded based on your percentage of
              the overall bonus pool for the Company, (25%) is subject to
              achieving individual targets related to your job responsibilities
              (cash management, payables, etc.) and twenty five percent (25%) is
              discretionary as determined by the CEO and Board of Directors.
              Bonuses are paid in March after a final determination of the
              financial performance of TTM and are pro-rated for your period of
              employment.

       V.     SIGNING BONUS:  You will receive an initial signing bonus of
              $20,000 upon joining TTM with an effective date of February 25,
              2000. A portion of this signing bonus is designed to compensate
              you for the work that you will be doing during the interim period
              prior to officially joining TTM.

       VI.    OPTIONS:  Your option package will equate to $330,000 of equity in
              TTM Technologies, Inc. at the financial sponsor cost. Fifty
              percent (50%) of the options are subject to an eight-year cliff
              vesting, but they have the opportunity to accelerate based on
              achieving designated IRR targets as calculated at the time of a
              liquidity event for the sponsors. The remaining fifty percent
              (50%) are time-vesting over a five-year period. Additionally, you
              will have the opportunity to earn options that equate up to an
              additional $120,000 of

<PAGE>

              equity (at the then current price) over a two-year period for
              exceptional performance to be determined at the sole discretion of
              the CEO and the Board of Directors.

       VII.   BENEFITS:  You will participate in TTM's standard benefits
              package, and can speak with TTM's director of human resources to
              understand the specific program.

       VIII.  VACATION:  You will receive a vacation package of four weeks
              (20 days). You may not take this vacation at a time deemed
              detrimental to the company and you make not take any more than
              two weeks at one time.

       IX.    SEVERANCE:  Given that you are joining TTM during a period of
              significant merger discussions with "Cascade" Corporation, TTM
              will provide you with the following severance package to protect
              you against unforeseen circumstances. If the merger is
              consummated during calendar year 2000 and you are given an
              opportunity to assume the CFO position and choose not to assume
              the CFO position in the new entity for whatever reason, you will
              be paid $50,000 in a single lump-sum payment, or, if your services
              are no longer required and your employment is terminated without
              cause, you will be paid $150,000 in a single lump-sum payment. If
              the merger is consummated after calendar year 2000, and if your
              termination of employment is without cause or demonstrably arises
              from the Cascade transaction or some other transaction which is
              consummated after calendar year 2000, you will receive continued
              payments of your then-current base rate salary until the earlier
              of six months following your termination of employment or until
              you find another job. No payments of severance will be made under
              this provision until you shall have executed a release in form and
              substance satisfactory to the company then employing you and any
              applicable release revocation period shall have expired.

       X.     AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT:  Your employment with TTM will be "at-will",
              subject only to the provisions in section IX of this offer letter.
              This is the full and complete agreement between you and TTM
              regarding this term of your employment. During your employment
              with TTM, you will be expected to devote your full business time,
              attention and energies to the performance of your duties with TTM.

       While this letter is meant to outline our understanding with respect
       to your employment, it is not an employment contract. Upon joining
       TTM, you will execute all appropriate agreements.

       I look forward to working together.

       Best Regards,

       /s/ Kent Alder

                             TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN

                           (adopted December 11, 1998;
                  amended and restated effective June 22, 2000)

                  1. PURPOSE. The TTM Technologies, Inc. Management Stock Option
Plan (the "PLAN") is intended to further the best interests of TTM Technologies,
Inc. (the "COMPANY") and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) by encouraging key
employees, consultants and directors of the Company and such Subsidiaries to
continue their association with the Company and its Subsidiaries and by
providing additional incentive for unusual industry and efficiency through
offering an opportunity to acquire a proprietary stake in the Company and its
future growth. The Company believes that this goal may best be achieved by
granting stock options to eligible key employees and consultants of the Company
and its Subsidiaries.

                  The stock options to be granted pursuant to this Plan
(hereinafter called "OPTIONS") shall be designated as A Options ("A OPTIONS") or
B Options ("B OPTIONS"). The Options may be nonqualified stock options or
Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "CODE")).

                  2. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. Subject to adjustment from time to
time as provided in Section 9, the number of shares (the "OPTION SHARES") of the
Company's authorized common stock, no par value (the "COMMON STOCK") that shall
be reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be:

                 (a)      4,000,000; plus

                 (b)      an annual increase to be added as of the first day of
          the Company's fiscal year for each of the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and
          2004 commencing on January 1, 2001 equal to (i) the lesser of (a) 1%
          of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business
          on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (b)
          400,000 shares of Common Stock, or (ii) a lesser amount determined by
          the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD"), provided that any
          shares from any such increase that are not issued shall be added to
          the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.

                  If any Option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate
without having been exercised in full or cancelled in exchange for a cash or
other payment, subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof, the unissued Option
Shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan.
Options may be exercisable hereunder for fractional Option Shares.

                  3.       EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.  The Plan shall become
effective on December 11, 1998 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE").

<PAGE>

                  4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be administered
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD") or by the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the "COMMITTEE"). The Board may authorize the Committee
to exercise any and all of the powers and functions of the Board pursuant to the
Plan. The interpretation and construction by the Committee or the Board of any
provisions of the Plan or of any awards granted under it shall be final and
conclusive. No member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
awards granted thereunder.

                  5. ELIGIBILITY. Options may be granted only to those employees
and consultants of the Company or of any Subsidiary selected by the Board or the
Committee (the "PARTICIPANTS").

                  6. OPTIONS.

                  (a) IN GENERAL. Each grant of an Option pursuant to this Plan
shall be made in writing and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined
by the Board or by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to the provisions
and limitations set forth in this Plan. The grant of any such Option shall be
evidenced by a written agreement (an "OPTION AGREEMENT") executed by the
relevant Participant and such officer of the Company as is designated in the
resolution of the Board or the Committee authorizing such Option grant.

                  (b) GRANT OF OPTIONS. The Company, by action of the Board or
of the Committee and subject to the provisions of this Plan, may, from time to
time, grant Options to purchase Option Shares to Participants and for such
number of Option Shares as may be determined by the Board or the Committee.

                  (c) FORM OF OPTIONS. Except as otherwise determined by the
Board, each award of Options shall be comprised equally of A Options and B
Options.

                  (d) OPTION PRICE. Unless otherwise determined by the Board and
subject to Section 6(i), the per share exercise price of each Option (the
"OPTION PRICE") granted pursuant to this Plan shall be the fair market value of
an Option Share as of the date of grant (the "GRANT DATE"), as determined by the
Board in good faith. The Option Price of an Option shall be set forth at the
foot of the signature page of the applicable Option Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Option Price of an Option intended to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock as of the relevant Grant Date as determined in good faith by the Board. An
Option granted to a Participant who is employed in California shall have an
Option Price not less than 85% of the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock as of the Grant Date (110% in the case of any such Participant who owns
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or its parent corporation or Subsidiaries).

                  (e) DURATION OF OPTIONS. The period for which each Option
granted hereunder shall be effective shall commence upon the relevant Grant Date
and expire on the tenth anniversary thereof (the "OPTION PERIOD"), or on such
earlier date as may be hereinafter provided.

                  (f) APPLICATION OF SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT;
NON-TRANSFERABILITY.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                           (i) By executing an Option Agreement, each
         Participant shall become a party to the Shareholders Agreement, and all
         Options and Option Shares issued pursuant to the Option Agreement shall
         be subject to the Shareholders Agreement.

                           (ii) No Option granted pursuant to this Plan may be
         sold, offered, disposed of, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or
         otherwise transferred by the Participant except to a deceased
         Participant's executors, administrators and testamentary trustees or as
         provided in the Shareholders Agreement, and, further, during the
         lifetime of the Participant, the Option may be exercised only by, or on
         behalf of, the Participant.

                  (g)      EXERCISABILITY AND VESTING OF OPTIONS.

                           (i) A Options and B Options shall become exercisable
         in accordance with the terms of the applicable Option Agreement,
         subject to the employee's or consultant's continued employment or
         consulting relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

                           (ii) An Option (or portion thereof) which becomes
         exercisable is referred to as a "VESTED OPTION" and an Option (or
         portion thereof) that has not yet become exercisable is referred to as
         an "UNVESTED OPTION."

                  (h) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE AND PAYMENT FOR SHARES. Exercise of
an Option shall be made by the giving of written notice to the Company by the
Participant, and the Option shall be deemed exercised as of the date of the
giving of such written notice. Such written notice shall be deemed sufficient
for this purpose only if it (i) is delivered to the Company at its principal
offices, (ii) states the number of Option Shares with respect to which the
Option is being exercised, and (iii) states the date, no earlier than the fifth
business day after, and no later than the tenth business day after, the date of
such notice, upon which the Option Shares shall be purchased and payment
therefor shall be made. The payments for Option Shares purchased pursuant to
exercise of an Option shall be made at the principal offices of the Company.
Upon (x) the exercise of any Option in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 6(h) and (y) receipt by the Company of the payment of the Option Price
for the Option Shares so purchased together with cash in the amount of (or the
making of arrangements referred to in Section 14 of the Plan with respect to)
any taxes required to be collected or withheld as a result of the exercise of
this Option, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Participant so exercising an Option a certificate or certificates for the number
of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is so exercised and payment is
so made. The Option Shares shall be registered in the name of the exercising
Participant; PROVIDED that in no event shall any Option Shares be issued
pursuant to exercise of an Option until full payment therefor shall have been
made in one of the manners set forth below; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that until
such payment has been made, the exercising Participant shall have no rights of a
shareholder. For purposes of this Section 6(h), the date of issuance shall be
the date upon which payment in full has been received by the Company as provided
herein. The Option Price shall be payable at the election of the Participant, in
whole or in part, in any one or a combination of cash or Mature Common Stock
valued at its fair market value as determined by the Board in good faith (or,
following an IPO (as defined below) the closing price of a share of Common Stock
on the most recent day of trading in the Common Stock) as of the date the notice
of exercise is given. "MATURE COMMON STOCK" is

                                       3
<PAGE>

defined as shares of Common Stock held by such Participant for more than six
months. In addition, the Company may loan to a Participant all or part of the
relevant Option Price.

                  (i) ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No
Incentive Stock Option may be issued pursuant to the Plan to any individual who,
at the time the Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent
or Subsidiary of the Company, unless (i) the Option Price determined as of the
Grant Date is at least 110% of the fair market value on the Grant Date of the
shares of Common Stock subject to such Option, as determined in good faith by
the Board, and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more than five
years from the Grant Date.

                  (j) EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OF EMPLOYEES OR
CONSULTANTS. The effect of a termination of a Participant's employment or
service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be set forth in
the applicable Option Agreement and shall be subject in all respects to the
Company's Call Right described in Section 7.

                  7.  COMPANY CALL RIGHT.

                  (a) EXERCISE OF CALL RIGHT. If the employment or service of a
Participant with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates for any
reason, the Company shall have a right to purchase, exercisable for a period of
180 days following such termination of employment or service (and, in the case
of A Options vesting after such termination of employment, for a period of 180
days following the vesting, if any, of such Options), some or all of the Vested
Options and Option Shares beneficially owned by the Participant and any
permitted transferees of the Participant (the "CALL RIGHT"). The Company may
exercise the Call Right by giving written notice thereof to the Participant or
such permitted transferee, as the case may be, prior to the expiration of such
180-day period.

                  (b) PURCHASE PRICE. With respect to any exercise of the Call
Right, the Participant or his permitted transferee, as applicable, shall
surrender to the Company the Vested Options and Option Shares subject to the
Call Right ("CALLED SHARES" or "CALLED OPTIONS", as the case may be), and the
Company shall pay to the Participant as consideration therefor the following:

                  (i) In the event that the employment or service of a
         Participant terminates for any reason other than by the Company or any
         of its Subsidiaries for Cause, the Participant shall receive a payment
         equal to (A) with respect to each Called Share, the fair market value
         as determined by the Board in good faith, and (B) with respect to each
         Called Option, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share
         of Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith over the
         Option Price of such Called Option, and if such amount is zero or less,
         such Called Option shall be surrendered for cancellation without any
         consideration being paid therefor.

                  (ii) In the event that the employment or service of a
         Participant is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
         Cause, the Participant shall receive, with respect to each Called
         Share, a payment equal to the lesser of (A) the fair

                                       4

<PAGE>

         market value as determined by the Board in good faith of such Called
         Share and (B) the Option Price of the Option under which the
         Participant obtained such Called Share.

                  (iii) The fair market value shall be determined as of
         the date of termination of the Participant's employment or service.

                  (c) CLOSING. The closing of any exercise of the Call Right
shall take place at the offices of the Company, or such other place as may be
mutually agreed, not less than 15 nor more than 45 days after the date the Call
Right is exercised. The date and time of closing shall be specified by the
Company at the time it exercises the Call Right. At such closing, the
Participant shall deliver consents to the surrender and cancellation of Called
Options and certificates for the Called Shares duly endorsed, or accompanied by
written instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
duly executed by the Participant, free and clear of any encumbrances. The
Company shall, subject to Section 7(d), pay the applicable purchase price for
surrendered Called Options or Called Shares in cash.

                  (d) FINANCIAL CAPABILITY; LEGAL LIMITATIONS. Anything in the
Plan or any Option Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that
(i) the limitations or restrictions applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) the Company's
certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (C) the terms of any indebtedness for
borrowed money of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prohibit the Company
from making any payment required under the Plan or any applicable Option
Agreement with respect to a Called Option or Called Share or (ii) the Board
shall determine in good faith that the Company is not financially capable of
making any such payment, then, in the event that the Participant's employment or
service is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Company shall not be
obligated to make payment at such time, and shall have the right to defer such
payment until the Board reasonably determines that such limitations and
restrictions no longer restrict the Company from making such deferred payment.
Any amounts the payment of which is so deferred shall bear interest, compounded
annually and calculated at the Deferral Rate from the closing date for the
repurchase of the Called Shares and the Called Options and shall be paid (with
interest) promptly after, and to the extent that, the Board determines that the
limitations and restrictions referred to in the first sentence of this Section
7(d) no longer restrict such payment. Notwithstanding a deferral of payment in
accordance with this Section 7(d) for Called Options or Called Shares, the
closing of any exercise of such Call Right shall take place as provided in
Section 7(a), and the right of the Participant and his permitted transferees in
respect of the Called Options and Called Shares (other than the right to receive
payment of amounts deferred in accordance with this Section 7(d)) shall
terminate as of such closing.

                  (e) TRANSFER OF CALL RIGHT. Anything in the Plan or the Option
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (i) the employment
or service of a Participant with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
terminates for any reason (ii)(A) the terms of any indebtedness for borrowed
money of the Company or any of its subsidiaries prohibit the Company from making
any payment required under the Plan or any applicable Option Agreement with
respect to a Called Option or a Called Share or (B) the Board shall determine in
good faith that the Company is not financially capable of making any such
payment as determined by the Company within 90 days following the termination of
the Participant's termination of employment or service, then the Call Right of
the Company hereunder shall be

                                       5
<PAGE>

transferred first to Circuit Holdings, LLC which shall have 30 days in which to
exercise the Call Right by giving written notice thereof to the Participant or
any permitted transferee of such Participant and to the Company and if Circuit
Holdings, LLC does not exercise the Call Right within such 30-day period, the
Company shall notify each other shareholder of the Company ("OTHER SHAREHOLDER")
of such fact and each Other Shareholder shall have 30 days in which to exercise
the Call Right by giving written notice thereof to the Participant and any
permitted transferee of such Participant and to the Company for not more than
the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Other
Shareholder to the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (such ratio
being each shareholder's "PRO RATA ENTITLEMENT"). If any Other Shareholder does
not exercise the Call Right with respect to such shareholder's full Pro Rata
Entitlement within 30 days after receipt of notice from the Company, each Other
Shareholder may elect to purchase more than its Pro Rata Entitlement with
respect to any Called Shares or Called Options for which a Call Right has not
been exercised.

                  8. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW AND OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS. If any law
or any regulation of any commission or agency of competent jurisdiction shall
require the Company or the exercising Participant to take any action with
respect to any Option Shares, then the date upon which the Company shall issue
or cause to be issued the certificate or certificates for such Option Shares
shall be postponed until full compliance has been made with all such
requirements of law or regulation; PROVIDED that the Company shall use
reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements
of law or regulation. Further, if requested by the Company, at or before the
time of the issuance of such Option Shares, the Participant shall deliver to the
Company his or her written statements satisfactory in form and content to the
Company, that he or she intends to hold the Option Shares so acquired by him or
her for investment and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof
to the public in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities or "blue sky" law. Moreover, in the event that the Company shall
determine in its sole discretion that, in compliance with the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities or "blue sky" law, it is necessary to register
any of the Option Shares, or to qualify any such Option Shares for exemption
from any of the requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable
statute or regulation, no Options may be exercised until the required action has
been completed. All Option Shares shall bear the legends provided for in the
Shareholders Agreement.

                  9. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of the declaration of any stock
dividend on any class of shares of the Common Stock or in the event of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, disposition, separation,
recapitalization, stock split, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of
any such shares of Common Stock or like event, the number and/or character of
the Option Shares and/or the Option Price of any Option granted under the Plan,
shall be appropriately adjusted by changes in this Plan and in any Options
outstanding pursuant to this Plan (including, if appropriate, by substitution of
options of the successor or transferee company) that may be deemed to be
appropriate by the Committee or the Board, acting in good faith, in order to
preserve the original substantive terms of the Options. In the event of the
occurrence of a Change in Control (i) which does not take the form of a
reorganization described in the previous sentence or (ii) pursuant to the terms
of which the outstanding Options will not be adjusted or substituted pursuant to
this Section 9, the treatment of the Options shall in all respects be governed
by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement.

                  10. GRANT OF TERMINATED OPTIONS. If any Option (or any portion
thereof) terminates as a result of a Participant's ceasing to be an employee or
consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries, the Committee or the Board may
grant to any Participant an additional Option or Options with respect to the
unissued Option Shares previously subject to the Option (or portion thereof) so
terminated at such price and on terms and conditions determined by the Board at
the relevant Grant Date.

                  11. TERMINATION OF SERVICE. The period of service of a
Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated if the Participant is an
employee or consultant of the Company who is transferred to and becomes an
employee or consultant of a Subsidiary of the Company or, if he or she is an
employee or consultant of a Subsidiary of the Company, who is transferred to and
becomes an employee or consultant of the Company or another Subsidiary of the
Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a Subsidiary of the Company ceases to be a
Subsidiary, all employees or consultants of such Subsidiary not otherwise
employed by, or theretofore transferred to and becoming employees or consultants
of, the Company or of another Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to have
ceased to be employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary for
purposes of this Plan on the date such Subsidiary ceases to satisfy the
definition of "Subsidiary" herein.

                  12.      TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN.

                  (a) This Plan shall terminate upon, and no Options shall be
granted after, the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the Effective
Date, unless it shall have sooner terminated by there having been granted and
either fully exercised or cancelled in exchange for a cash payment Options
covering all Option Shares subject to this Plan.

                  (b) Except as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Board may, insofar as permitted by law, amend, suspend, or discontinue this Plan
at any time without restriction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Board may not alter
or amend or discontinue or revoke or otherwise impair any outstanding Options
which have been granted pursuant to this Plan and which remain unexercised in a
manner adverse to Option holders, except in an adjustment referred to in Section
9 above or in Section 12(c) below, or except in the event that there is secured
the written consent of the holder of the outstanding Option proposed to be so
altered or amended. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall in any
way condition or limit the termination of an Option as hereinabove provided
where reference is made to termination of service of a Participant. The Option
Period of any outstanding Option shall not be extended by any amendment or
suspension or discontinuance of the Plan.

                  (c) In the event of the declaration of any stock dividend on
any class of shares of Common Stock or in the event of any reorganization,
merger, consolidation, acquisition, disposition, separation, recapitalization,
stock split, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of any such shares of
Common Stock or like event, such substitution or adjustments (including if
appropriate substitution of options of the successor or transferee company in
the event of a merger or disposition, cash or other property) shall be made in
the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and in the
vesting criteria of outstanding Options, as may be determined to be appropriate
by the Committee or the Board, acting in good faith, in order to preserve the
original substantive terms of the Options.

                  13. LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. In the event of the complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company other than as an incident to a merger,
reorganization, or other transaction referred to in Section 9 or 12(c) above,
any Options remaining unexercised shall be deemed cancelled as of the date on
which the Company's legal existence terminates without regard to or limitation
by any other provision of this Plan and each Vested Option shall be entitled to
a payment in cancellation thereof equal to the excess, if any, of the amount
received per Option Share in such liquidation or dissolution over the Option
Price, multiplied by the number of Option Shares subject to such Option.

                  14.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or
any Subsidiary from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for
its employees or consultants.

                  (b) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any
employee or consultant any right to continued service nor shall it interfere in
any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the service
of any employee or consultant at any time.

                  (c) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to Option Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of any
Option hereunder, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of,
any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such arrangements
need not involve the advancement by the Company of any funds to, for or on
behalf of any Participant or the incurrence or payment by the Company of any
costs or expenses. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be conditional
on such payment or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due
to the Participant.

                  (d) The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington without reference to the choice of law principles thereof.

                  15. PARTICIPANT REPRESENTATIONS. Each Option Agreement shall
provide that, in the event the Option Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act at the time the Participant's Options are exercised in whole or
in part, the Participant shall represent to the Company the following:

                  (a) The Participant is aware of the Company's business affairs
and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
securities. The Participant is purchasing these securities for investment for
the Participant's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities
Act.

                  (b) The Participant understands that the securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends

                                       8
<PAGE>

upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Participant's investment
intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Participant understands
that, in the view of the Securities Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for
such exemption may not be present if the Participant's representations meant
that the Participant's present intention was to hold these securities for a
minimum capital gains period under the tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a
market rise, for a sale if the market does not rise, or for a year or any other
fixed period in the future.

                  (c) The Participant further acknowledges and understands that
the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under
no obligation to register the securities. The Participant understands that the
certificate evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company.
