CORPORATION, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), grants to «Name» or its
assigns (the “Holder”) the right, subject to the terms of this Warrant, to
purchase at any time during the period commencing on the “Issue Date” (as
defined below), and ending on the “Expiration Date” (as defined below), «Shares»
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at the
“Exercise Price” (as defined below). This Warrant may be exercised in
whole or in part. The Exercise Price and the number of shares that
may be purchased hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time under the
terms of this Warrant. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to
purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of August __, 2009, by and among the Company and the
investors referred to therein (the “Purchase Agreement”).
Section 1. Definitions. In
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that
are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in
the Purchase Agreement. As used in this Warrant, unless the context
otherwise requires:
“Common Stock” means the Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company.
“Company” has the meaning
specified in the introductory paragraph.
“Exercise Amount” means the
number of Warrant Shares filled in on the attached Exercise Form (Attachment A)
delivered to the Company by the Holder in connection with exercise of all or a
portion of this Warrant.
-1-

on which this Warrant is exercised in the manner indicated in Section
2.2.
“Exercise Price” means $6.50
per share (adjusted as necessary in accordance with
Section 6).

p.m. (Pacific time) on the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date.
“Holder” has the meaning
specified in the introductory paragraph.

Section 2. Duration and Exercise of
Warrant.
2.1 Exercise
Period. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised at any time during the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending
on the Expiration Date. After the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall
become void and all rights to purchase Warrant Shares hereunder shall thereupon
cease.
2.2 Exercise. This
Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by executing and
delivering (whether via facsimile or otherwise) to the Company the attached
Exercise Form (Attachment A). On the first (1st)
business day following an exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for
the Exercise Amount by cash, check, or wire transfer (unless the Holder
indicates in the Exercise Form that such exercise is being effected pursuant to
a “cashless exercise” under Section 2.3 below). The Holder shall not
be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise
hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Form shall have the
same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.
2.3 Cashless
Exercise. The Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the
Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
X =
Y [(A-B)/A]
|
|
where:
|
-1-
X =
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y =
the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
|
|
A =
the arithmetic average of the last reported trade price for the Company’s
Common Stock reported for each Trading Day during the 30 calendar day
period immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise
Date.
|
|
B =
the Exercise Price.
|
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that under
applicable rules, regulations and interpretations in effect as of the Issue
Date, the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction will be
deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the
Warrant Shares will be deemed to have commenced, on the Issue Date.
2.4 Delivery of Warrant
Shares. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at the
Company’s expense, shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder
or its designee certificates for Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends unless (i) a Registration Statement covering the
resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder is not then effective and (ii) the
Warrant Shares are not eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with
the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such shares and
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. The Company shall,
upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares
hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
2.5 Effective Time of
Exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form, the person
entitled to receive the Warrant Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the
holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the
Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant under Section 2.2 above,
provided that payment is received in accordance with that section.
2.6 New Warrants. Upon
surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a new Warrant evidencing the
right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Any such
new Warrant shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Warrant, which is the same as the Issue Date.
2.7 Securities Law
Compliance. By delivering an Exercise Form, the Holder
represents and warrants and acknowledges, as the case may be, that:
2.7.1 Investment
Purpose. Holder is acquiring Warrant Shares for Holder’s own
account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
-2-
2.7.2 Sophistication: Adequate
Means; Acknowledgements. Holder has such substantial knowledge
in financial and business matters in general, and in similar investments in
particular, that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Warrant Shares. Holder has adequate means of
providing for Holder’s current needs and personal contingencies so that Holder
can afford a complete loss of the funds invested in the Warrant
Shares.
2.7.3 Investor
Qualifications. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.
2.8 Validity and Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares issued
upon exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. The Company will have duly authorized and reserved
for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to
time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants
remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized
and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for
issuance upon exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (the
“Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company
shall promptly as reasonably necessary to assure that the Holder can receive the
benefits of the rights provided under this Warrant without delay take all action
necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an
amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount
for all the Warrants then outstanding, including, without limitation, the prompt
calling and holding of a meeting of shareholders to approve an increase in the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting,
the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of
such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of
directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such
proposal.
2.9 Obligations and
Remedies. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of this Warrant are absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the
recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same,
or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to
the Company (other than the obligation under Section 2.2 to pay or otherwise
satisfy the total Exercise Price) or any violation or alleged violation of law
by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance
which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in
connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver shares of Common Stock (whether via physical certificates or
electronically, as appropriate) upon exercise of the Warrant.
-3-
2.10 Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or
other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates,
all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant, or reselling or otherwise
transferring the Warrant Shares to third parties.
Section 3. Fractional
Shares.
No fractional Warrant Shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Section 4. No Rights as
Shareholder.
Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the Holder shall not, solely by virtue of being the Holder of
this Warrant, have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at
law or equity, until this Warrant shall have been duly exercised. In
addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any
liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
Section 5. Loss of Warrant.
Upon receipt by the Company of
satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and either (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) reasonable and
customary indemnification or (in the case of mutilation) the surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder,
without charge, a new Warrant of like denomination. Any such new
Warrant shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Warrant, which is the same as the Issue Date.
Section 6. Certain
Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustment of Warrant
Shares. The number, class and Exercise Price per share of
securities for which this Warrant may be exercised are subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events as hereinafter
provided:
-4-
(a) Stock Splits or
Dividends. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common
Stock are divided into a greater number of shares or if the Company shall effect
a stock dividend, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise
Price per share shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares
of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price
per share shall be proportionately increased. The increases and
reductions provided for in this Section 6.1(a) shall be made with the intent
and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the
total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of this Warrant nor the
aggregate price payable for such percentage shall be affected by any event
described in this Section 6.1(a).
(b) Merger or Reorganization,
Etc. In the event of any change in the Common Stock through
merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, share exchange or other
change in the capital structure of the Company (other than by stock dividend or
stock split), or if the Company effects a sale of all or substantially all of
its assets in one or a series of related transactions, or if a tender offer or
exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, the Holder of
this Warrant will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of this
Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
to which it would have been entitled if, immediately before such Fundamental
Transaction, it had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon
the exercise of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The
aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such
Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise
Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the
relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made
in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the
rights of the Holder after the Fundamental Transaction to the end that the
provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Exercise Price
then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant)
shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a
Fundamental Transaction unless the surviving entity or purchasing Person, as the
case may be, assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement).
(c) Adjustments for Dilutive
Issuances.
1.
|
In
the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time issue or
sell any additional shares of Common Stock (“Additional Shares of Common
Stock”), but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined below), at a
price per share less than both (i) the Fair Market Value per Share (as
defined below) at the time of such issuance and (ii) the Exercise Price
then in effect, or without consideration, the Exercise Price then in
effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to
the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a
fraction:
|
-5-
|
(a)
|
the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share)
which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal
to the Exercise Price then in effect,
and
|
|
(b)
|
the
denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares
of Common Stock.
|
Upon each
such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(1), the
number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common
Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. The provisions of
this Section 6.1(c)(1) shall similarly apply to successive issuances of
Additional Shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than both (i) the
Fair Market Value per Share at the time of such issuance and (ii) the Exercise
Price then in effect. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be
made pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(1) upon the issuance of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants
or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any
conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents (as defined
below).
For
purposes of this Section 6.1(c), the term “Fair Market Value per Share” shall
mean, at the time of issuance (or deemed issuance) of Additional Shares of
Common Stock, the arithmetic average of the last reported trade price for the
Company’s Common Stock reported for each Trading Day during the 30 calendar day
period immediately prior to (but not including) the date of such
issuance.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the price used in a particular transaction (such
price a "Transaction Price") is based on the Company’s board of directors’ good
faith estimate of fair market value on the date a particular Transaction Price
is determined, no adjustment shall be required under this Section 6.1(c) in
connection with any sale or issuance at the Transaction Price so long as such
sale or issuance is completed within 90 days of such pricing determination and
the Transaction Price is not less than 90% of the Fair Market Value per Share as
of the date the transaction is completed.
-6-
2.
|
In
the event the Company shall, at any time and from time to time, issue or
sell any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or
indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or any rights or
warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, “Common Stock
Equivalents”), but excluding any Excluded Securities, and the aggregate of
the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be
issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the
consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share
Price”) shall be less than both (i) the Fair Market Value per Share at the
time of such issuance and (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect, or if,
after any such issuance of Convertible Securities or Common Stock
Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as
so amended or adjusted shall make the Aggregate Per Common Share Price
less than both the Fair Market Value per Share and the Exercise Price then
in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Exercise
Price then in effect shall be adjusted pursuant to the formula set forth
in Section 6.1(c)(1) above assuming that all Additional Shares of Common
Stock have been issued pursuant to the Convertible Securities or Common
Stock Equivalents for a purchase price equal to the Aggregate Per Common
Share Price.
|
Upon each
such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(2), the
number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common
Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. The provisions of
this Section 6.1(c)(2) shall similarly apply to successive issuances of
Convertible Securities or Common Stock Equivalents with an Aggregate Per Common
Share Price less than both (i) the Fair Market Value per Share at the time of
such issuance and (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made under this Section 6.1(c)(2) upon
the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the
exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights
therefor. No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the
issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
3.
|
In
the event any consideration received by the Company for any securities
consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the
time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good
faith by the Board. In the event any Additional Shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued with other assets of
the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration
computed as provided in this Section 6.1(c)(3) shall be allocated among
such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the
Board.
|
-7-
4.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make
any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6.1(c) upon (i)
the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grant of options
to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option and
dividend reinvestment plans as they currently exist or may be amended in
the future, (ii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or
grant of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any future stock
option, stock purchase or similar plan that is approved by the
shareholders of the Company, (iii) the issuance of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents in connection with a merger, consolidation, stock
exchange or similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party approved
by the Company’s board of directors, (iv) the issuance of securities
issued pursuant to the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents
granted or issued prior to the Issue Date; provided that such Common Stock
Equivalents have not been amended since the Issue Date to increase the
number of shares issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or
conversion price thereof, and (v) the issuance of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of the Warrants. The securities described in clauses
(i) through (v) above shall be referred to herein as “Excluded
Securities.”
|
6.2 Notice of
Adjustment. Whenever an event occurs requiring any adjustment
to be made pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company, at its own expense, shall
promptly cause its President or Chief Financial Officer (or similar officer) to
compute such adjustment and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment
(including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or
type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, as applicable), setting forth in reasonable detail the acts requiring
such adjustment, and stating such other facts as shall be necessary to show the
manner and figures used to compute such adjustment. Promptly (but in
no event more than 10 days) after each such adjustment, the Company shall give a
copy of such certificate by certified mail to the Holder.
Section 7. Registration of Warrant and
Transfers.
7.1.1 Registration of
Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records
to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in
the name of the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of any exercise, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to
the contrary.
7.1.2 Registration of
Transfers. The Company shall register the assignment and
transfer of any portion of this Warrant in compliance with its terms in the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment
attached hereto as Attachment B duly completed and signed, to the
Company. Upon any such registration or transfer in compliance with
the terms of this Warrant, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring
Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof
shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and
obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.1
Binding Effect;
Assignment. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company and the Holder and their respective successors, heirs,
legal representatives and permitted assigns. Subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend on the first page hereof, this
Warrant may be assigned by the Holder without the consent of the
Company. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a
successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
-8-
8.2 Amendment and
Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Holder of this Warrant. No
waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized

notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Purchase
Agreement.
(b) If
the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, other than a
regular annual or quarterly dividend involving cash or stock, but including
without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) enters into

Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction
at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date in
order to enable the Holder to exercise this Warrant and become the record owner
of the Warrant Shares in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction as a shareholder; provided, however, that the failure to deliver
such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be described in such notice.

validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Delaware, exclusive of conflicts of law
rules.
8.5 Saturdays, Sundays and

sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the

by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms of this Warrant will continue in full force and
