and principal outstanding under the loan and/or line of credit
immediately due and payable, without notice of default,
presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of non

undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days or, if Borrower by any
act indicates its consent or acquiescence in any such proceeding or
the appointment of any such trustee or receiver;
7.6 Any judgement attaches against Borrower or any of its properties

related agreements have been unconditionally assumed by the
guarantor's estate in a manner satisfactory to Bank.
8. Successors; Waivers. Notwithstanding the Events of Default above, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and
Bank, their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may
not assign its rights hereunder. No consent or waver under this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank
and shall not waive or affect any other default, where prior or
subsequent thereto, and whether of the same or different type. No delay
or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.
7
9. Arbitration.
9.1 At the request of either Bank or Borrower any controversy or claim
between the Bank and Borrower, arising from or relating to this
Agreement or any loan document executed in connection with this
Agreement or arising from any alleged tort shall be settled by
arbitration in Seattle, Washington. The Untied States Arbitration Act
will apply to the arbitration proceedings which will be administered
by the American Arbitration Association under its commercial rules of
arbitration except that unless the amount of the claims(s) being
arbitrated exceeds $5,000,000 there shall be only one arbitrator. Any
controversy over whether an issue is arbitrable shall be determined by
the arbitrator(s). Judgement upon the arbitration award may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of
any action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or
ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either
party, including plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if such action for judicial relief is contested. For
purposes of the application of the statute of limitations the filing
of an arbitration as provided herein is the equivalent of filing a
lawsuit and the arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide
whether any claim or controversy is barred by the statute of
limitations, and if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. The
parties consent to the joinder in the arbitration proceedings of any
guarantor, hypothecator or other party having an interest related to
the claim or controversy being arbitrated.
9.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, no controversy or claim
shall be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all parties
if at the time of the proposed submission, such controversy or claim
arises from or relates to an obligation secured by real property or by
a marine vessel;
9.3 No provision of this Section 9 shall limit the right of the Borrower
or the Bank to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure
or sale of any collateral, or obtaining any ancillary provisional or
interim remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after
or during the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The exercise of
any such remedy does not waive the right of either party to request
arbitration. At Bank's option foreclosure under any deed of trust may
be accomplished by exercise of the power of sale under the deed of
trust of judicial foreclosure as a mortgage.
10. Collection Activities, Lawsuits and Governing Law. Borrower agrees to pay
Bank all of Bank's costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees
and the allocated cost for in-house legal services incurred by Bank),
incurred in the documentation and administration of this Agreement and the
loans reflected herein. The nonprevailing party shall, upon demand by the
prevailing party, reimburse the prevailing party of all of its costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocated cost of
in-house counsel) incurred in connection with any controversy or claim
between said parties relating to this Agreement or any of the loan
documents, or to an alleged tort arising out of the transactions evidenced
by this agreement or any of the loan documents, including those incurred in
any action, bankruptcy proceeding, arbitration or other alternative dispute
resolution proceeding, or appeal, or in the course of exercising any
judicial or nonjudicial remedies. If suit is instituted by Bank to enforce
this Agreement or any of the loan documents, Borrower consents to the
personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Washington and Federal
Courts located in the State of Washington. Borrower further consents to the
venue of such suit being lain in Seattle, Washington. This Agreement and
any notes, security agreements and other loan documents entered into
pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Washington.

+11. Additional Provisions. Borrower agrees to the additional provisions set
forth immediately following this Section 11 or on any "Exhibit - N/A"
attached to and hereby incorporated into Agreement. This Agreement

unenforceable the (a) such provision shall be deemed modified if

11.2 If the imposition of or any change in any law, rule, or regulation
guideline or the interpretation or application of any thereof by

impose or modify any taxes (except U.S., federal, state or local
income or franchise taxes imposed on Bank), reserve requirements,
capital inadequacy requirements or other obligations which would:
(a) increase the cost to Bank for extending or maintaining any
loans and/or line of credit to which this Agreement relates, (b)
reduce the amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement, such notes
and other instruments, or (c) reduce the rate of return on Bank's
capital as a consequence of Bank's obligations with respect to any
loan and/or line of credit to which this Agreement relates, then
Borrower agrees to pay Bank such additional amounts as will
compensate Bank therefore, within five (5) days after Bank's
written demand for such payment, which demand shall be accompanied
by an explanation of such imposition or charge and a calculation in
reasonable detail of the additional amounts payable by borrower,
which explanation and calculations shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

within 120 days of fiscal year end.

fiscal year end and FORM 10Q quarterly within 45 days of quarter
end.
11.6 Leases where both asset and related obligations are off balance
sheet will be allowed.
12. Miscellaneous. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid
or unenforceable, then (a) such provision shall be deemed modified if
possible, or if not possible, such provision shall be deemed stricken,
