performance of: (a) all present and future Indebtedness of Debtor to Bank; (b)
all obligations of Debtor and rights of Bank under this Agreement; and (c) all
present and future obligations of Debtor to Bank of other kinds. The word
"Indebtedness" is used herein In its most comprehensive sense and includes any
and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of Debtor, or any of them,
heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or
involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent,

be liable individually or jointly, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness
may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable.
3. TERMINATION. This Agreement will terminate upon the performance of all
obligations of Debtor to Bank, including without limitation, the payment of all
Indebtedness of Debtor to Bank, and the termination of all commitments of Bank
to extend credit to Debtor, existing at the time Bank receives written notice
from Debtor of the termination of this Agreement.

money received by Bank in respect of the Collateral may be deposited, at Bank's
option, into a non-interest bearing account over which Debtor shall have no
control, and the same shall, for all purposes, be deemed Collateral hereunder.
Bank shall have no duty to take any steps necessary to preserve the rights of
Debtor against prior parties, or to initiate any action to protect against the
possibility of a decline in the market value of the Collateral or Proceeds. Bank
shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to the Collateral or
Proceeds requested by Debtor unless such request is made in writing and Bank

unreasonably jeopardize the value of the Collateral and Proceeds as security for
the Indebtedness.

instructions of Debtor, or any of them, Bank may cause any Collateral and/or
Proceeds to be transferred to Bank's name or the name of Bank's nominee. If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any or all Collateral and/or
Proceeds consisting of securities may be registered, without notice, in the name
of Bank or its nominee, and thereafter Bank or its nominee may exercise, without
notice, all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of
the issuer thereof, any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription,
or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral and/or
Proceeds, all as if it were the absolute owner thereof. The foregoing shall
include, without limitation, the right of Bank or its nominee to exchange, at
its discretion, any and all Collateral and/or Proceeds upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the
issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the issuer thereof or Bank of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any shares of the Collateral and/or
Proceeds, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Collateral and/or Proceeds with any committee, depository, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as
Bank may determine. All of the foregoing rights, privileges or options may be
exercised without liability on the part of Bank or its nominee except to account
for property actually received by Bank. Bank shall have no duty to exercise any
of the foregoing; or any other rights, privileges or options with respect to
the Collateral or Proceeds and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so
or delay in so doing.
8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to
pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor
to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of
the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same.
Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Debtor to Bank, due and
payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the
Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute
an "Event of Default" under this Agreement: (a) any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation, or any defined event of default, under (i) any
contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness, (ii) any other agreement
between Debtor and Bank, including without limitation any loan agreement,
relating to or executed in connection with any Indebtedness, or (iii) any
control, custodial or other similar agreement in effect among Bank, Debtor and
Intermediary relating to the Collateral; (b) any representation or warranty made
by Debtor herein shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any
material respect when made; (c) Debtor shall fail to observe or perform any
obligation or agreement captained herein; (d) any impairment of the rights of
Bank in any Collateral or Proceeds or any attachment or like levy on any
property of Debtor; and (e) Bank, in good faith, believes any or all of the
Collateral and/or Proceeds to be in danger of misuse, dissipation, commingling,
loss, theft, damage or destruction, or otherwise in jeopardy or unsatisfactory
in character or value.
7492/Page 3
10. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have the
right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured
hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit
to Debtor. Bank shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the Washington Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise provided, by law, including without limitation, the right (a)
to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to
instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to
Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose at any or all
Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be
cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right,
power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such
right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank
of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions
hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth
in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for
cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property
of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially
reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different
kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and
credit risks of such dispositions.
While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral
or Proceeds except on terms approved by Bank: (b) Bank may appropriate the
Collateral and apply all Proceeds toward repayment of the Indebtedness in such
order of application as Bank may from time to time elect; (c) Bank may take any
action with respect to the Collateral contemplated by any control, custodial or
other similar agreement then in effect among Bank, Debtor and Intermediary; and
(d) at Bank's request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all books and records
pertaining to the Collateral or Proceeds to Bank at a reasonably convenient
place designated by Bank. For any Collateral or Proceeds consisting of
securities, Bank shall have no obligation to delay a disposition of any portion
thereof for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register such securities for public sale under any applicable state or Federal
law, even if the issuer thereof would agree to do so. Debtor further agrees that
Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or
other disposition.
11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In
disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any
Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the
payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by
Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank
may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds
and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility
with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be
vested with all rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the
foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so
transferred Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein
given.
12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full
and all commitments by Bank to extend credit to Debtor have been terminated, the
power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and
remedies granted to Bank hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised
by Bank at any time and from time to time irrespective at the fact that the
Indebtedness or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of
limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless
such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness
secured hereunder.
13. MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more then one Debtor named herein: (a) the word
"Debtor shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b)
the obligations of each Debtor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until
all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Debtor shall have any right of
subrogation or contribution, and each Debtor hereby waives any benefit of or
right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security
now or hereafter held by Bank. Debtor hereby waives any right to
7492/Page 4
require Bank to (i) proceed against Debtor or any other person; (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform
any obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d)
make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or
nonperformance protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in
connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to
direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor or
indebtedness of customers of Debtor.
14. NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement
must be in writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified in any other loan
documents entered into between Debtor and Bank and to Debtor at the address of
its chief executive office (or principal residence, if applicable) specified

and all allocated costs of Bank's in-house counsel), expended or incurred by
Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this
Agreement or in the enforcement thereof, whether incurred at the trial or
appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of
the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including
without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought
by Bank or any other person) relating to Debtor or in any way affecting any of
the Collateral or Bank's ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with
respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest
from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of ten percent (10%) or Bank's Prime Rate in effect from time to time.
16. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or
