ARTICLE 1

Offices

1.1Principal Office. The principal office of the Corporation shall be located at 41 West Riverside Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99201, or at such other location as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”).

1.2Other Offices. Other business offices may at any time be established by the Board at any place or places where the Corporation is qualified to do business.

ARTICLE 2

Shareholders

2.1Annual Meeting. A meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for the transaction of any other business of the Corporation shall be held annually at such time, date and place as the Board may establish by resolution.

2.2Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”) or the President, and shall be called if shareholders who hold, at the time of demand, not less than ten percent (10%) of all the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on any issue proposed to be considered at a proposed special meeting deliver to the Corporation one or more executed and dated written demands describing the purpose or purposes for which the proposed special meeting is to be held. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice of meeting provided by the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.4 may be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders.

2.3Place of Meeting. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place as shall be determined by the Board.

2.4Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the time, date and place of each annual and special meeting of shareholders shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting (unless required by law that notice be sent to all shareholders regardless of whether they are entitled to vote) not less than 10 nor more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting, except that notice of a meeting of shareholders to act on (a) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, (b) a plan of merger or share exchange, (c) a proposed sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the Corporation’s assets other than in the usual and regular course of business, or (d) the dissolution of the Corporation, shall be given no fewer than 20 nor more than 60 calendar days before the meeting date. Notice of a special meeting must include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is being

called. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail, addressed to the shareholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the Corporation as of the record date prescribed in Section 2.5, with postage thereon prepaid. When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to a different time, date, or place, notice need not be given of the new time, date and place if (a) the Board is not required to fix a new record date under Section 2.5, and (b) the new time, date and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment.

2.5Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the Board shall fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be (a) not more than 70 calendar days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken, and (b) in the case of a meeting of shareholders, not later than the date notice of the meeting is required to be given. If not otherwise fixed by the Board, the record date to determine shareholders entitled to receive payment of any share or cash dividend or other distribution shall be the close of business on the day the Board authorizes the share or cash dividend or other distribution. When a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment, unless the Board fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 calendar days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

2.6Voting Lists. At least ten calendar days before each meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all shareholders on the record date who are entitled to notice of the meeting of shareholders, arranged by voting group and within each voting group by class or series of shares (if applicable), with the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. This list of shareholders shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder, or agent or attorney of any shareholder, at any time during usual business hours, for a period of ten calendar days prior to such meeting. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder, or agent or attorney of any shareholder, during the entire time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence of the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to notice or entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting.

2.7Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on a matter shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter at a meeting of shareholders. Once a share is represented at a meeting, in person or by proxy, for any purpose other than to object to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting. Any action taken (other than adjournment) for which a quorum is deemed present will be effective if it is approved by the number of shares required if a quorum were present. In the absence of a quorum, the Board may elect to adjourn the meeting to another time and date, at the same or a different place, in accordance with Section 2.4.

2

2.8Proxies. At any meeting of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder, or by his or her duly authorized agent or attorney-in-fact, and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, the inspectors of election, or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes, before or at the meeting. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the absence of such direction, as determined by a majority of the Board. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary of the Corporation, the inspectors of election, or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises the proxy’s authority under appointment. Any copy, facsimile, or other reliable reproduction of a proxy may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing. A proxy with respect to a specified meeting shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any reconvened meeting following adjournment of such meeting.

2.9Voting. Each outstanding share shall be entitled to one vote on each matter for which the shareholder is entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders. In the election of Directors, every shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by the shareholder for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected by the holders of such shares. Cumulative voting shall not be permitted in the election of Directors. Action on a matter, other than the election of Directors, is approved if votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast in opposition, unless the vote of a greater number of shares is required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws.

2.10Inspectors of Election.

2.10.1Appointment. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board shall appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors of election at such meeting. The Board may designate one or more persons to serve as alternate inspectors to serve in place of any inspector who is unable or fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of shareholders, the chairman of such meeting shall appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors of election at such meeting. Any inspector may be an officer or employee of the Corporation or of any of its subsidiaries.

2.10.2Duties. The inspectors shall: (a) ascertain the number of shares of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share; (b) determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; (c) count all votes and ballots; (d) determine, and retain for a reasonable period of time a record of, the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by them; (e) determine the result of voting with respect to each matter voted upon; and (f) make a written report of and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, their count of the votes and ballots, and the results of voting.

3

2.10.3Determination of Proxy Validity. The validity of any proxy or ballot executed for a meeting of shareholders shall be determined by the inspectors of election in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act then in effect.

The number of Directors may at any time be increased or decreased by the Board at any regular or special meeting of the Board, provided that no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director except as provided in Section 3.2.3 or 3.13.

6

3.2.2Tenure. All Directors shall be elected annually. Each Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders following such Director’s election and his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, subject to prior death, resignation or removal.

No individual shall be eligible for election as a Director who is 72 years of age or older as of the date of the meeting at which such election is to occur, and shall resign his or her position as a Director on or before the annual meeting following his or her 72^nd birthday; provided, however, that in the event of a merger of another corporation with and into the Corporation, for purposes of achieving desired continuity one or more directors of the merging corporation who has already attained the age of 72 may be appointed by the Board upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors of the Corporation to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and, in addition, may be nominated for election at such annual meeting to serve one additional full term as a Director.

3.3Annual and Regular Meetings. An annual meeting of the Board shall be held promptly after the annual meeting of shareholders, at such time, date and place as designated by the Board by resolution or as called by or at the request of the Chairman, but in no event later than the next regular meeting of the Board. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at such times, dates and places, either within or without the State of Washington, as provided by resolution of the Board, without other notice than such resolution, or as called, no more often than monthly, by or at the request of the Chairman or the President, pursuant to notice as provided in Section 3.6.

3.4Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board may be called by or at the request of the Chairman, the President, or one-half (1/2) of the members of the Board.

facsimile or e-mail shall be deemed given when transmitted. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing filed with the Secretary before or after such meeting for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, which written waiver shall be set forth either (a) in an executed record, or (b) if the Corporation has designated an address, location or system to which the waivers may be electronically transmitted and the wavier is electronically transmitted to the designated address, location or system, in an executed electronically transmitted record. A Director’s attendance or participation in a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the Director’s arrival, objects to the holding of the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. All meetings will be held at the principal office of the Corporation, unless notice of the meeting designates another place.

3.7Quorum. A majority of the number of Directors fixed by or in the manner provided in these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at any meeting of the Directors. If less than such majority shall attend a meeting, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice, and a quorum present at such adjourned meeting may transact business.

3.8Manner of Acting. The act of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except with regard to the following decisions which shall require the act of two-thirds of the Directors present:

(b) The sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation other than in the usual and regular course of business.

3.9Resignation. A Director may resign at any time by delivering an executed notice of such resignation to the Board, the Chairman, the President, or the Secretary of the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered, unless the notice specifies a later effective date, and, unless otherwise specified in such notice, acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

3.10Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all Directors. The action must be evidenced by one or more consents describing the action taken, executed by each Director either before or after the action taken and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, each of which consents shall be set forth either (a) in an executed record, or (b) if the Corporation has designated an address, location or system to which the consents may be electronically transmitted and the consent is electronically transmitted to the designated address, location or system, in an executed electronically

8

transmitted record. Any action taken under this Section is effective when the last Director executes the consent, unless the consent specifies a later effective date. A consent under this Section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any record.

3.11Presumption of Assent. A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board when action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) the Director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the Directors’ arrival, to holding or transacting business at the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; (b) the Director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (c) the Director delivers notice of the Director’s dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment, or to the Corporation within a reasonable time after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a Director who votes in favor of the action taken.

3.12Performance of Duties. A Director shall perform his or her duties as a director, including the duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which he or she may serve, in good faith, in a manner the Director reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. In performing such duties, a Director is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (a) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries whom the Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (b) legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the Director reasonably believes to be within such person’s professional or expert competence; or (c) a committee of the Board upon which the Director does not serve, if the Director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence. However, a Director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if the Director has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

3.13Removal of a Director. The shareholders may remove one or more Directors, with or without cause, only at a special meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose. The notice of the meeting must state that a purpose of the meeting is to remove one or more Directors. At such meeting a Director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove the Director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove the Director.

3.14Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board, including any vacancy to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors though less than a quorum of the Board. The term of a Director elected to fill a vacancy expires at the next meeting of shareholders at which Directors are elected.

3.15Compensation. Directors shall receive such compensation for their services and reimbursements for their expenses as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No such payments shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
