Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Interim Financial Data:
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods.
These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's latest annual report to shareholders.
2. Net Income Per Share:
Basic and diluted net income per share are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year, with diluted
including the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, and nine months ended March 31, 1997
and 1998, the weighted average number of common shares for basic net income
per share computations were 6,717,000; 6,990,000; 6,579,000; and 6,975,000;
respectively. For diluted net income per share, 405,000 and 681,000 shares
were added to weighted average shares outstanding for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and for the nine months ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, representing potential dilution for stock options
outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and for the nine months ended March 31, 1998,
no shares were added to the weighted average shares outstanding because the
addition of shares would be anti-dilutive.

4. Special Charges:
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded special
charges of $6.4 million related to the write-down of certain
under-performing assets of its Photocopy Division. Following is a summary
of major elements of the special charges (in thousands):
Disposal of under-performing machines $ 4,324
Disposal of replacement parts and inventory relating to
under-performing machines 1,494

-------
Total special charges $ 6,380
=======
The Company recognized the cost of disposing of certain under-performing
assets of its Photocopy Division totaling $4.3 million. The Company also
recognized $1.5 million of cost associated with the disposal of replacement
parts and other inventory related to the under-performing assets being
disposed of.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
- -------
The Company has continued to expand its business by opening TRM Centers in
new and existing market areas. The number of market areas served increased from
66 to 72 from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The number of TRM Centers grew
from 31,719 to 34,796 over the same period. During the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 the Company opened three new market areas and decreased the number
of TRM Centers by 1,041. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 75 market areas
with 33,755 TRM Centers.
On March 29, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which
ReadyCash Investment Partners, L.P. will invest $20 million in TRM. The Company
intends to use the proceeds of this investment to finance the formation of a new
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Division. The financing transaction is subject to
a number of conditions set forth in the definitive agreement including
shareholders' approval of the transaction. The Company is currently scheduled to
hold a special shareholders' meeting on or before June 26, 1998, to consider,
among other things, approval of the transaction.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Sales for the third quarter were $17.6 million, down 2.1% from third
quarter sales of the previous year of $18.0 million. Sales for the nine months
year-to-date were $50.6 million, down 2.6% from prior year-to-date sales of
$51.9 million. Sales in Europe continue to increase, although at a slowing rate
as the European market matures. Sales in North America, where the market is more
fully developed, have declined, offsetting the growth in Europe.
Sales discounts are the portion of revenue retained by customers. Sales
discounts as a percentage of sales continue to decline, from 16.9% to 16.7% in
the comparable quarters. This reflects changes made in business agreements with
new customers. The discount rate generally varies among individual retail
businesses based on volume.
-7-
<PAGE>
Cost of sales increased 4.4% compared to the prior quarter and 1.3%
compared to the prior nine months. Cost of sales increased as a percent of sales
from 42.0% to 44.8% in the comparable prior-year quarter due to decreased sales.
Selling, general and administrative costs grew by 9.2% to $5.3 million in
the third quarter. This is due to increased telecommunication costs, vehicles
expenses, bad debt and other general cost increases.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded special
charges of $6.4 million including a one-time, non-cash write-down of certain
under-performing assets of its Photocopy Division. With the growth in the
NextGen(TM) photocopier programs, the Company has decided to retire over half of
its older model Savin photocopiers at low volume locations. The write-down of
non-performing assets is related to these strategic activities.
Interest costs are incurred because the Company uses bank borrowings to
help fund its business activities. The decrease in interest costs is due to
lower debt levels, which decreased from $3.5 million as of March 31, 1997, to
$500,000 as of March 31, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, TRM generated $9.9 million in
cashflows from operations, while its working capital decreased from $9.6 million
at June 30, 1997 to $7.3 million at March 31, 1998 (including cash and cash
equivalents of $2.3 million). The Company also has a $30.0 million bank line of
credit, with $29.5 million available at March 31, 1998. The Company was in
compliance with all loan covenants at March 31, 1998. This credit facility
expires on April 1, 2000.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company funded capital
expenditures of $10.5 million primarily from cash generated from operations and
a net increase of $100,000 in bank borrowings. Capital expenditures increased by
$7.1 million over the same period of the prior year due to increased purchases
and installations of NextGen(TM) copiers ($6.8 million) and increased
expenditures for other copiers ($2.7 million). Additional capital expenditures
of $600,000 and $400,000 were for vehicles and other normal operating purposes,
respectively.
The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of approximately
$13.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The Company intends to
finance these capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and with
bank borrowings under its existing line of credit. The Company expects that
these sources will provide adequate cash to fund its operations through at least
June 30, 1998.
Year 2000 Disclosure
- --------------------
The Company is aware of, and currently evaluating its exposure related to
potential year 2000 information systems problems. Generally, internal accounting
and operating systems are either year 2000 compliant or will become compliant as
part of a general information technology upgrade initiative (the "Initiative"),
which is presently underway at the Company. The core components of the
Initiative are anticipated to be completed by December 31, 1998. Total cost of
the Initiative is expected to be approximately $1.2 million, of which $300,000
has been expended through March 31, 1998. The Company has also determined that a
portion of its telephone system will also require upgraded capability, at a cost
of approximately $50,000.
The Company is presently assessing the risk that major customers or
suppliers may have year 2000 problems, which could impact the Company. The
extent that such risk exists, if any, has not yet been determined.

Forward Looking Statement
- -------------------------
Information in this Management's Discussions and Analysis about the
Company's goals, plans and expectations regarding expansion, business
opportunities, and capital expenditures and the Company's plans to enter the ATM
market constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. The following factors are among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements: the outcome of the shareholder vote regarding the ReadyCash
transaction, TRM's ability to manage and achieve growth in a new line of
business, TRM's ability to expand its current relationships with retailers and
broaden its distribution network, changes in consumer practices and preferences
with respect to the use of TRM's new photocopy machines, the performance and
profitability of NextGen(TM) photocopy machines, competitive factors, and the
Company's ability to execute its plans successfully, as well as business
conditions in the market areas in which TRM operates. Any forward-looking
statements should be considered in light of these factors.

set forth on the Capitalization Schedule. As of the Closing and upon

outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock, including the Series A
Preferred and Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
5.2.2 There are no statutory or, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, contractual shareholders' preemptive rights or rights of refusal
with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Stock or the Warrants
hereunder or the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company has not
violated any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with
the offer, sale or issuance of any of its capital stock, and the offer,
sale and issuance of the Preferred Stock or the Warrants hereunder, and the
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred or upon
exercise of the Warrants, do not require registration under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities laws. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company's shareholders with
respect to the voting or transfer of the Company's capital stock or with
respect to any other aspect of the Company's affairs.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Purchaser's Representations.
8.1.1 Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter
into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
14
<PAGE>
8.1.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
Purchaser in reliance upon its representation to the Company that the
Restricted Securities to be received by Purchaser will be acquired for
investment for Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that
Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation
in, or otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser further represents that
it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with
any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to
any third person, with respect to any of the Restricted Securities.
8.1.3 Disclosure of Information. Purchaser has completed its "due
diligence" investigation of the Company and it is not a condition to
Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement for Purchaser to complete any
further due diligence investigations. Accordingly, Purchaser believes it
has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase the Restricted Securities. Purchaser further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering
of the Restricted Securities and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit
or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 5 of
this Agreement or the right of Purchaser to rely thereon.
8.1.4 Investment Experience. Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to
fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the
Restricted Securities.
8.1.5 Accredited Investor. At the time of Closing, Purchaser will be
an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
8.1.6 Brokerage. Assuming the Company's representations in paragraph
5.13 are accurate, there are no claims for brokerage commissions, finders'
fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement
binding upon Purchaser.
8.1.7 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Restricted
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities"
under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from
the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, Purchaser represents that it is familiar
with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144, as presently in effect,
and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
15
<PAGE>
8.1.8 Legend. Each certificate or instrument representing Restricted
Securities shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
"The securities represented by this certificate were originally issued on
[DATE OF CLOSING TO BE INSERTED HERE] and have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The transfer of the securities
represented by this certificate is subject to the conditions specified in
the Preferred Stock and Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated as of [DATE OF
CLOSING TO BE INSERTED HERE] and as amended and modified from time to time,
between the issuer (the "Company") and ReadyCash Investment Partners, L.P.
and the Company reserves the right to refuse the transfer of such
securities until such conditions have been fulfilled with respect to such
transfer. A copy of such conditions shall be furnished by the Company to
the holder hereof upon written request and without charge."
8.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of any
investigation made by any Purchaser or on its behalf.
8.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that the right to purchase the Series A Preferred and the Warrants
under this Agreement shall not be assigned.
8.4 Expenses. Other than in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the
other party, each party shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred
by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.
8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or
more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than
one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the
same Agreement.
8.7 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive
part of this Agreement. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall
be by way of example rather than by limitation.
8.8 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Oregon shall govern all issues
and questions concerning this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto,
the relative rights and
16
<PAGE>
obligations of the Company and its shareholders without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions.

unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law.
8.11 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company if the
Closing does not occur (i) on or before May 4, 1998, if no vote of the Company's
shareholders is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, except where the failure to close is due to a material breach
of this Agreement by the Company or (ii) if the closing does not occur on or
before July 10, 1998, and shareholders have approved the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement. If the Company elects to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8.11, the Company shall promptly give written notice to
Purchaser of the Company's election. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.11, the Letter Agreement dated February 6,

party, be terminated and of no further force or effect.
8.12 Termination Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay Purchaser
promptly by wire transfer the sum of $1 million in immediately available funds
in the event that both (a) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are

Agreement by Purchaser) and (b) any of the following events occur before
December 31, 1998 (provided that such transactions are completed): (1) the
Company becomes a party to a transaction in which an investor acquires 20% of
the Company's equity securities or (2) the Company becomes a party to a merger
(other than a merger with one of the
18

is transferred, or a transaction in which substantially all of its assets are
sold. The right to the payment of the foregoing fee shall be the exclusive

Exhibit A
ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
TRM COPY CENTERS CORPORATION
(Establishing Series A Preferred Stock)
1. The name of the Corporation is TRM COPY CENTERS CORPORATION.
2. The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended to
amend Article III to read in its entirety as follows:
"2. Series A Preferred Stock. This Article III.2 sets forth the
designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights of a series of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation as determined by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation pursuant to its authority under ORS 60.134 and Article III.1
above. The shares of such series shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock
("Series A Preferred") and the number of shares constituting such series shall
be 1,777,778.
Section A. Dividends.
(i) When and as declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors
and to the extent permitted under the Oregon Business Corporation Act, the
Corporation will pay preferential cumulative dividends to the holders of the
Series A Preferred as provided in this Section A. Except as otherwise provided
herein, dividends on each share of Series A Preferred will accrue on a daily
basis at the rate of seven and one-half percent (7 1/2%) per annum of the
Liquidation Value thereof, determined on a quarterly basis, from and including
the date of issuance of such share of Series A Preferred to and including the
earlier of (a) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such share of Series A
Preferred plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon is paid to the holder
thereof upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (b)
the date on which such share of Series A Preferred is converted into Common
Stock. Such dividends will accrue whether or not they have been declared and
whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation
legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the
Corporation initially issues any share of Series A Preferred will be deemed to
be its "date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such
share of Series A Preferred is made on the stock records maintained by or for
the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued
to evidence such share of Series A Preferred. To the extent not paid on March
31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year beginning on June 30,
1998 (the "Dividend Payment Date"), all dividends which have accrued on each
share of Series A Preferred outstanding during the three-month period (or other
period in the case of the initial Dividend Payment Date) shall be accumulated
and shall remain accumulated dividends with respect to each such share of Series
A Preferred until paid. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total
amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the
<PAGE>
Series A Preferred, such payment will be distributed ratably among the holders
of the Series A Preferred on the basis of the amount of accrued and unpaid
dividends with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred owned by each such
holder.
(ii) The Corporation shall not pay dividends (other than
dividends payable in shares of Common Stock) upon the Common Stock unless and
until it has paid dividends upon the Series A Preferred as set forth in Section
A(i). In the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the
Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property) other than
dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall also declare
and pay to the holders of the Series A Preferred at the same time that it
declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock the
dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred had all of the
outstanding Series A Preferred been converted immediately prior to the record
date for such dividend, or, if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
Section B. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, each holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to be
paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an
amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Series A
Preferred held by such holder (plus all accrued or declared dividends unpaid
thereon), and the holders of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to any
further payment. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the Corporation's assets to be distributed among the holders of the
Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the
aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid hereunder, then the entire
assets to be distributed to the Corporation's stockholders shall be distributed
pro rata among such Series A Preferred holders based upon the aggregate
Liquidation Value of all Series A Preferred held by each such holder (plus all
accrued or declared dividends unpaid thereon). At least 30 days prior to any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall
give written notice of such event to each record holder of Series A Preferred,
specifying the amount of liquidation proceeds per share to be distributed to the
holders of the Series A Preferred and to the holders of the Common Stock.
For purposes of this Section B, a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of this Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (A)
the acquisition of this Corporation by another entity by means of any
transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation,
any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that results in the transfer of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of this Corporation;
or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of this Corporation.
In any of such events, if the consideration received by this
corporation is other than cash, the value of such consideration will be deemed
its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
2
<PAGE>
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar
restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq
National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing
prices of the securities on such quotation system over the thirty (30) day
period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is
applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the
closing; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be
the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this Corporation and
the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding
shares of the Series A Preferred.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment
letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions
arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former
affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value
determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation and the holders
of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of the
Series A Preferred.
This Corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A
Preferred written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty
(20) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to approve such transaction,
if any, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever
is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval
of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms
and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section
B, and this Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any
material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than
twenty (20) days after this Corporation has given the first notice provided for
herein or sooner than ten (10) days after this Corporation has given notice of
any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods
may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of Series A Preferred
that are entitled to such notice rights or similar notice rights and that
represent at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares
of such Series A Preferred.
Section C. Voting Rights.
(i) The holders of Series A Preferred shall have no right to vote
on matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation except as
provided in this Section C and as otherwise expressly required by applicable
law; provided that in any event, each holder of Series A Preferred shall be
entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings at the
3
<PAGE>
same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the stockholders entitled
to vote at any such meeting.
(ii) The holders of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to vote,
together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and the other
classes of the Corporation's capital stock voting with the Common Stock, on all
matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote with each share of Series A
Preferred having one vote and shall be entitled to notice of each stockholders
meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.
Section D. Conversion.
1. Right to Convert.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section D, each
holder of Series A Preferred shall have the right, at its option, to convert
each share of the Series A Preferred held by such holder at any time into
.7499997 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.
2. Conversion Procedure.
(i) Except as otherwise provided herein, each conversion of
Series A Preferred shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the
Series A Preferred to be converted have been surrendered at the principal office
of the Corporation (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the
Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of the Series A
Preferred). At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the
holder of such Series A Preferred as such holder shall cease and the Person or
Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of
Conversion Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby.
(ii) The conversion rights of each share of Series A Preferred
shall terminate on the date the Corporation has paid to the holder of such share
the Liquidation Value thereof (plus all accrued or declared dividends unpaid
thereon).
(iii) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected
(but in any event within three business days in the case of subparagraph (a)
below), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder:
(a) a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such
name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting
holder has specified;
4
<PAGE>
(b) payment in an amount equal to all accrued dividends
unpaid with respect to each share of Series A Preferred converted into
Conversion Stock, which have not been paid prior thereto, plus the amount
payable under subparagraph (vii) below with respect to such conversion; and
(c) a certificate representing any shares of Series A
Preferred which were represented by the certificate or certificates
delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which
were not converted.
(iv) If the Corporation is not permitted under applicable law to
pay any portion of the accrued dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred
being converted into Conversion Stock, the Corporation shall pay such dividends
to the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the Corporation are
legally available for such payment. At the request of any such converting
holder, the Corporation shall provide such holder with written evidence of its
obligation to such holder.
(v) The issuance of certificates for shares of Conversion Stock
upon any conversion of Series A Preferred shall be made without charge to the
holders thereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred
by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance
of shares; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the
shares which are being converted.
(vi) The Corporation shall not close its transfer books against
the transfer of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A
Preferred in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of the
Series A Preferred. The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder
of Series A Preferred required to make any governmental filings or obtain any
governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Series A
Preferred hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required
to be made by the Corporation).
(vii) If any fractional interest in a share of Conversion Stock
would, except for the provisions of this subparagraph, be deliverable upon any
conversion of Series A Preferred, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the
fractional share therefor, shall pay an amount to the holder thereof equal to
the Market Price of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion.
(viii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred, such
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding
Series A Preferred. All shares of stock which are so issuable shall, when
issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may
be necessary to ensure that all such shares may be so issued without violation
of any
5
<PAGE>
applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic
securities exchange upon which shares of such stock may be listed (except for
official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the
Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not take any action
which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to be less than the required number of such shares to be reserved hereunder.
3. Conversion Adjustments.
(i) In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted
hereunder, the conversion ratio provided for in Section D.1 shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section D.3.
(ii) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corpora
tion at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the conversion ratio provided for
in Section D.1 in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately increased, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by
reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the conversion ratio provided
for in Section D.1 in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately decreased.
4. Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the
Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Series A
Preferred, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of
such adjustment.
(ii) The Corporation shall give written notice to all holders of
Series A Preferred at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Corporation
closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any dividend or
distribution upon Common Stock, (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription
offer to holders of Common Stock or (c) for determining rights to vote with
respect to any dissolution or liquidation.
5. Automatic Conversion. All of the outstanding Series A Preferred
shall be automatically converted into Conversion Stock upon the closing of the
date as of which the Share Price of the Common Stock for a period of 90
consecutive calendar days commencing after June 30, 1999 is at least $20.00 (as
appropriately adjusted for any combination or subdivision of shares, stock
dividend, stock split or other recapitalization).
Section E. Purchase Rights.
If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options,
Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the
"Purchase Rights"), then each holder of
6
<PAGE>
Series A Preferred shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have
acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Conversion Stock
acquirable upon conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
Section F. Registration of Transfer.
The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register for the
registration of Series A Preferred. Upon the surrender of any certificate
representing shares of Series A Preferred at such place, the Corporation shall,
at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at
the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange
therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of Series A
Preferred represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate
shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares of
Series A Preferred as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate
and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. The
issuance of new certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the
surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost
incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance (but not including
any transfer taxes).
Section G. Replacement.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
(an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing
shares of Series A Preferred, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the case
of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall
(at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new
certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred
represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.
Section H. Definitions.
"Common Stock" means the Common Stock, no par value, of the
Corporation, and any capital stock of any class of the Corporation hereafter
authorized which is not limited to a fixed sum or percentage of any stated value
in respect to the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or
in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation.
7
<PAGE>
"Conversion Stock" means shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Series A Preferred; provided that if there is a change such that
the securities issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred are issued by an
entity other than the Corporation or there is a change in the class of
securities so issuable, then the term "Conversion Stock" shall mean one share of
the security issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred if such security
is issuable in shares, or shall mean the smallest unit in which such security is
issuable if such security is not issuable in shares.
"Convertible Securities" means any stock or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for any equity securities of the Company.
"Junior Securities" means any of the Corporation's capital stock or
other equity securities other than the Series A Preferred.
"Liquidation Value" of any share of Series A Preferred as of any
particular date shall be equal to $8.51 (as such amount is equitably adjusted

this Warrant would take place after the Expiration Date.

Securities Act, as a condition of its delivery of
certificates for the Warrant Shares, the Company may require
the Holder to deliver to the Company, in writing,
representations regarding the Holder's sophistication,
investment intent, acquisition for its own account and such
other matters as are reasonable and customary for purchasers

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT
OR LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER STATING THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance of

resulting from the issuance or exercise of this Warrant.
Section 3. Warrant Shares.
3.1 Validity and Reservation. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free and clear of
all liens, security interests, charges and other
encumbrances or restrictions on sale (except encumbrances or
restrictions arising under federal or state securities
laws), and not subject to preemptive rights. The Company
agrees that, as long as this Warrant may be exercised, 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 and from time to time will take all steps
necessary to amend its Restated Articles of Incorporation to
provide sufficient reserves of Common Stock
4
<PAGE>
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates
for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
3.2 Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be
"Registrable Securities" under the Investor's Rights

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 indemnification and a bond satisfactory
to the Company if requested by the Company 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.
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
7.1 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:
(a) Recapitalization. If the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares, 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 7.1(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
5
<PAGE>
aggregate price payable for such percentage shall be affected by any event
described in this Section 7.1(a).
(b) Merger or Reorganization, Etc. In the event of any change in
the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other change in the capital
structure of the Company (not including the issuance of additional shares of
capital stock other than by stock dividend or stock split), then, as a condition
of such change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate and adequate
provision shall be made so that 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 the merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure, it
had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
applications of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and
interest thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth
herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon
the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other
Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the Warrant Shares (or any shares
of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant)
payable in (i) securities of the Company of (ii) assets (excluding cash
dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such
case, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation,
effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, the Holder
shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the
payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other
assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had
thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of
such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available
by it as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called
for by this Section Section 7.
7.2 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever an event occurs requiring any
adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company
shall promptly file with its Secretary or an assistant
secretary at its principal office and with its stock
transfer agent, if any, a certificate of its President
specifying such adjustment, 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. Such President's
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times
for inspection by the Holder. Promptly (but in no event more
than 30 days) after each such adjustment, the Company shall
give a copy of such certificate by certified mail to the
Holder.

<PAGE>
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Assignment. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned
by the Holder, except to a single party that is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D or any
successor rule thereto.

prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified at the

8.3 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and performance
of this Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Oregon, exclusive of choice of law rules.
8.4 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through

action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times

of any shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant.
8.5 Notices of Record Date. In case:
8.5.1 the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or to receive any other
right; or
8.5.2 of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation in
which holders of the Company's stock are to receive stock, securities or
property of another corporation; or

the Company; or

Stock;

the Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date
on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution
or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up,
redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities
as at the time are receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least
thirty (30) days before the consummation of the applicable event.
8.6 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after
the date of this Warrant enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holder of this Warrant or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to
the Holder hereunder do not in any way conflict with the
rights granted to

holders of the Company's securities under any other

on that date) for the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately
preceding the Exercise Date.
2.2.3 Cashless Exercise. If the holder selects to exercise the
Warrant on a cashless basis, the Holder shall not be required to pay the
Exercise Price and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock equal in value to the difference between the fair market value of
the Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price.

<PAGE>
Fair market value shall be equal to the average of the closing sale prices (or,
if no sales occur on a date, the average of the bid and asked prices on that
date) for the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the
Exercise Date.
2.2.4 Same Day Sale Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant
by payment of cash, by shares of Common Stock or by a cashless exercise, when
permitted by law and applicable regulations (including Nasdaq and NASD rules),
the Holder may pay the Exercise Price through a "same day sale" commitment from
the Holder and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Holder irrevocably elects to
exercise the Warrant and to sell a portion of the Warrant Shares so purchased to
pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
receipt of such Warrant Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
Company.
2.3 HSR Restrictions. However, if the Holder is subject to HSR
Act Restrictions (as defined in Section 2.5 below), payment
of any applicable consideration as determined hereunder
shall be paid to the Company within five (5) business days
of termination of all HSR Act Restrictions.
2.4 Certificates. As soon as practicable after exercise of this
Warrant, certificates for Warrant Shares shall be delivered
to the Holder.
2.5 HSR Act. The Company hereby acknowledges that exercise of
this Warrant by the Holder may subject the Company and/or
the Holder to the filing requirements of the HSR Act and
that the Holder may be prevented from exercising this
Warrant until the expiration or early termination of all
waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act ("HSR Act
Restrictions"). If on or before the Expiration Date the
Holder has sent the Notice of Exercise to the Company and
the Holder has not been able to complete the exercise of
this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date because of the HSR
Act Restrictions, the Holder shall be entitled to complete
the process of exercising this Warrant (surrender of the
Warrant and payment of any applicable consideration) in
accordance with the procedures contained herein
notwithstanding the fact that completion of the exercise of
this Warrant would take place after the Expiration Date.
2.6 Partial Exercise: Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any
partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel
this Warrant upon its surrender and shall execute and
deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date for the balance
of the Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on
the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above.
However, if the Holder is subject to HSR Act Restrictions,
this Warrant shall be
3
<PAGE>
deemed to have been exercised on the date immediately
following the date of the expiration of all HSR Act
Restrictions. 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.
2.7 Securities Act Compliance. Unless the issuance of the
Warrant Shares shall have been registered under the
Securities Act, as a condition of its delivery of
certificates for the Warrant Shares, the Company may require
the Holder to deliver to the Company, in writing,
representations regarding the Holder's sophistication,
investment intent, acquisition for its own account and such
other matters as are reasonable and customary for purchasers
of securities in an unregistered private offering. The
Company may place conspicuously upon each certificate
representing the Warrant Shares a legend substantially in
the following form, the terms of which are agreed to by the
Holder:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR LAWS OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER STATING THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
2.8 Taxes. The Company shall pay any tax and other governmental
charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance of
the Warrant Shares, provided, however, that in no case will
the Company pay any taxes relating to income to the Holder
resulting from the issuance or exercise of this Warrant.
Section 3. Warrant Shares.
3.1 Validity and Reservation. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free and clear of
all liens, security interests, charges and other
encumbrances or restrictions on sale (except encumbrances or
restrictions arising under federal or state securities
laws), and not subject to preemptive rights. The Company
agrees that, as long as this Warrant may be exercised, 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 and from time to time will take all steps
necessary to amend its Restated Articles of Incorporation to
provide sufficient reserves of Common Stock
4
<PAGE>
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates
for Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
3.2 Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be
"Registrable Securities" under the Investor's Rights
Agreement dated as of even date hereof between the Holder
and the Company.
Section 4. 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 to the
nearest whole number.
Section 5. Limited Rights of Warrantholder.
The Holder shall not, solely by virtue of being the Holder of this
Warrant, have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law
or equity, until this Warrant shall have been exercised.
Section 6. 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 indemnification and a bond satisfactory
to the Company if requested by the Company 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.
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
7.1 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:
(a) Recapitalization. If the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares, 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 7.1(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
5
<PAGE>
aggregate price payable for such percentage shall be affected by any event
described in this Section 7.1(a).
(b) Merger or Reorganization, Etc. In the event of any change in
the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other change in the capital
structure of the Company (not including the issuance of additional shares of
capital stock other than by stock dividend or stock split), then, as a condition
of such change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate and adequate
provision shall be made so that 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 the merger, consolidation, reclassification,
reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure, it
had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
applications of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and
interest thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth
herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon
the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other
Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the Warrant Shares (or any shares
of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant)
payable in (i) securities of the Company of (ii) assets (excluding cash
dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such
case, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation,
effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, the Holder
shall receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares (or such other stock or
securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the
payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other
assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had
thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of
such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available
by it as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called
for by this Section Section 7.
7.2 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever an event occurs requiring any
adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company
shall promptly file with its Secretary or an assistant
secretary at its principal office and with its stock
transfer agent, if any, a certificate of its President
specifying such adjustment, 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. Such President's
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times
for inspection by the Holder. Promptly (but in no event more
than 30 days) after each such adjustment, the Company shall
give a copy of such certificate by certified mail to the
Holder.
6
<PAGE>
Section 8. Miscellaneous.

8.3 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and performance
of this Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Oregon, exclusive of choice of law rules.
8.4 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through
reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities, sale of assets 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

<PAGE>
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value
of any shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant.
8.5 Notices of Record Date. In case:
8.5.1 the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or to receive any other
right; or
8.5.2 of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation in
which holders of the Company's stock are to receive stock, securities or
property of another corporation; or
8.5.3 of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of
the Company; or
8.5.4 of any redemption or conversion of all outstanding Common
Stock;
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to
the Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date
on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution
or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up,
redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities
as at the time are receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be delivered at least
thirty (30) days before the consummation of the applicable event.
8.6 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after
the date of this Warrant enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holder of this Warrant or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to
the Holder hereunder do not in any way conflict with the
rights granted to
8
<PAGE>
holders of the Company's securities under any other
agreements, except rights that have been waived.

which Purchaser is acquiring shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
(the "Series A Preferred") and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Company
Common Stock (the "Warrants");
B. In order to induce the Company to enter into the Series A Agreement and
to induce Purchaser to invest funds in the Company pursuant to the Series A
Agreement, Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that this Agreement shall
govern the rights of Purchaser to cause the Company to register shares of Common
Stock issuable to Purchaser and certain other matters as set forth herein;
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) The term "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(b) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently
adopted by the SEC that permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial
information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
(c) The term "1934 Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
(d) The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right
to acquire Registrable Securities.
(e) The term "register," "registered," and "registration" refer
to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in
1
<PAGE>
compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of
such registration statement or document.
(f) The term "Registrable Securities" means the Common Stock
issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, any shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any Common Stock of
the Company issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in
exchange for the foregoing Registrable Securities.
(g) The term "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
1.2 Request for Registration.
(a) If the Company shall receive at any time a written request
from Holders of 50% of the Registrable Securities outstanding that the Company
file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of at
least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall
(i) within ten days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request
to all Holders; and (ii) effect, as soon as practicable, and in any event within
ninety (90) days of the receipt of such request, the registration under the Act
of all Registrable Securities such holders request to be registered on such
registration form as is available (including form S-1, or similar long form
registration), subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b), within twenty
days of mailing of such notice by the Company.
(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder
("Initiating Holders@) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered
by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company
as a part of their request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a) and the Company
shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection
1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably
acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event,
the right of any Holder to include his Registrable Securities in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company as provided in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and
the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders electing to include shares in
the offering,
2
<PAGE>
including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to
the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder;
provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be
included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other are first
entirely excluded from the underwriting.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish
to Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 1.2, a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer (or, if there is no Chief Executive
Officer, the President) of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to
the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and
it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement,
the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt
of the request of Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may
not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
(d) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or
to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) After the Company has effected three registrations
pursuant to this Section 1.2 and such registration has been declared or ordered
effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date sixty (60)
days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and
ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a
registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof, provided that the Company is
actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to be effective; or
(iii) If the Holders propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be promptly registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a
request made pursuant to Section 1.12 below and the Company promptly effects
such registration.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do
so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for stockholders other than Holders) any of its stock or
other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such
securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the
sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a registration on
any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be
required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Holders
written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder
given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in
accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 1.8, include in the registration statement all of the Registrable
Securities that each Holder has requested to be registered.
3
<PAGE>
1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this
Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of
Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for a period of up to two years.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Holders
participating in the offering shall also enter into and perform their
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
participating in a public offering of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered
pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally
recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed.
4
<PAGE>
1.5 Furnish Information.
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the
Registrable Securities that each Holder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the
intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect
the registration of the Registrable Securities.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.12 if, due to the
operation of subsection 1.5(a), the number of shares of the Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the
number of shares required to originally trigger the Company's obligation to
initiate such registration as specified in subsection 1.2(a) or subsection
1.12(b)(2), whichever is applicable.
1.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Holders shall be borne by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for
any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all
participating Holders shall bear such expenses); provided, however, that if at
the time of such withdrawal, Holders have learned of a material adverse change
in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to
Holders at the time of its request and Holders have withdrawn the request with
reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material
adverse change, then Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses
and shall retain their rights to demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.7 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and
pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations
pursuant to Section 1.3, including (without limitation) all registration,
filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or
apportionable thereto and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Holders, but excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
1.8 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then
only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in
5
<PAGE>
their sole discretion will not, jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by Holders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of
Registrable Securities which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion
will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to
be apportioned pro rata among the Holders according to the total amount of
securities entitled to be included therein owned by each Holder or in such other
proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such Holders); provided, however,
that the Company shall be required to include all Registrable Securities
requested by Holders to be included in the offering if any securities are to be
included for the account of a security holder other than a Holder.
1.9 Delay of Registration. Holders shall have no right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.10 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless Holders, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning
of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, or the 1934
Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, or the 1934 Act or any state
securities law; and the Company will pay to such Holder, or such underwriter or
controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 1.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case
for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any Holder or such underwriter or controlling person.
6
<PAGE>
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other holder selling
securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such
underwriter or other holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject,
under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use
in connection with such registration; and each Holder will pay, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be
indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.10(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
1.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.10(b) exceed the
net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.10, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 1.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.10.
(d) If the indemnification provided for herein is for any reason
held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party, the indemnifying party agrees
to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such
indemnification is held
7
<PAGE>
unenforceable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.11 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
making available to Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act
and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant
to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;
(b) take such action as is necessary to enable the Company to
utilize Form S-3 for the sale of Registrable Securities;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144,
the Act and the 1934 Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities
may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 or (ii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested in availing Holders of any rule or regulation of the SEC
that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant
to such form.
1.12 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a
part of the Registrable Securities, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request together with all or such portion of
the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request given within
8
<PAGE>
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.12: (1) if
Form S-3 is not available to the Company for such offering; (2) if the Holders
propose to sell less than ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities; (3)
if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting registration a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration
to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to
defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more
than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the request of Holders under
this Section 1.12; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this
right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; (4) if the Company has,
within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already
effected one registration on Form S-3 for Holders pursuant to this Section 1.12;
(5) if the Company has already effected a total of six registrations on Form S-3
for Holders pursuant to this Section 1.12; or (6) in any particular jurisdiction
in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request from Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration
requested pursuant to Section 1.12, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing, qualification, printer's and accounting fees and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding any
underwriters' discounts or commissions associated with Registrable Securities,
shall be borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section
1.12 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected
pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.
1.13 Termination of Registration Rights. Holders shall not be entitled
to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 with respect to any
Registrable Securities it wishes to sell that can otherwise be sold in any
three-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Act.
2. Covenants of the Company.

basis for the company and all such subsidiaries, all in reasonable detail and
certified as complete and correct, subject to changes resulting from year-end
adjustments, by an authorized financial officer of the Company;
2.1.2 Annual Statements. As soon as available and in any event

such subsidiaries, all in reasonable detail and accompanied by an opinion
thereon of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national
standing selected by the Company to the effect that the consolidated statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently maintained (except for changes in which such accountants concur)
and that the examination of such accountants in connection with such financial
statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and
such other auditing procedures as were considered necessary in the
circumstances;
2.1.3 Audit Reports. Promptly upon receipt thereof, one copy of
each interim or special audit made by independent accountants of the books of
the Company or any subsidiary; and
2.1.4 SEC and Other Reports. Promptly upon their becoming
available, one copy of each financial statement, report, notice or proxy
statement sent by the Company to stockholders generally and of each regular or
periodic report and any registration statement or prospectus filed by the
Company or any subsidiary with any securities exchange or the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any successor agency, and copies of any material orders
in any proceedings to which the Company or any of its
10
<PAGE>
subsidiaries is a party issued by any governmental agency, federal or state,
having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to provide copies of information
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental
agency, Federal or state, which is treated as confidential under the Freedom of
Information Act or similar law.
2.1.5 Inspection of Property. The Company shall permit any
representatives designated by Purchaser (so long as Purchaser holds fifty
percent (50%) of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof), upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours and at such
other times as any such holder may reasonably request, to (i) visit and inspect
any of the properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, (ii) examine the
corporate and financial records of the Company and its subsidiaries and make
copies thereof or extracts therefrom and (iii) discuss the affairs, finances and
accounts of any such corporations with the directors, executive officers and
independent accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries.
2.1.6 Confidentiality. Pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company
may furnish Purchaser with certain information that is non-public, confidential
or proprietary in nature. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means (i)
any material, nonpublic information about the Company and its Subsidiaries and
(ii) any technical, nonfinancial information, data or know-how which is
identified in writing as confidential by the Company, in either case as
furnished by the Company to Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph but does not
include information (x) which was publicly known at the time of disclosure, (y)
which subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by
Purchaser or (z) which otherwise becomes known to Purchaser, other than through
disclosure by the Company. Purchaser shall hold in confidence and not disclose
or use the Confidential Information, except (a) as may be required by law, (b)
to the officers, directors, employees, agents and professional consultants of
Purchaser or any subsidiary of Purchaser for the purposes of evaluating
Purchaser's investment in the Company. If Purchaser ceases to hold any Preferred
Stock, Purchaser will, if requested by the Company, return to the Company all
documents furnished by the Company containing Confidential Information which
have not theretofore been destroyed or returned to the Company.
2.2 Right of First Offer. If the Company proposes to offer for
sale additional shares of any class of stock (other than shares issued pursuant
to a compensation plan for employees, directors or consultants, or in connection
with the acquisition of all or a portion of another entity), the Company shall
first offer such shares to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have 30 days following
receipt of a notice of the offer to exercise the right to purchase all or a
portion of the shares the Company proposes to offer on the same price and terms
as those set forth in the notice of the offer. If Purchaser does not exercise
its right to purchase any portion of such shares within that 30-day period, then
the Company shall have 180 days thereafter to offer and sell the shares not
acquired by Purchaser, on the terms offered to Purchaser, to third parties. If
all the offered shares are not purchased by third parties within that 180-day
period, those unsold shares shall again be subject to the provisions of this
11
<PAGE>
Section 2.3. This right of first offer shall terminate as to Purchaser, or any
assignee of Purchaser, whenever it holds less than 250,000 shares of the Series
A Preferred. To the extent more than one holder of Series A Preferred has a
right of first offer pursuant to this Section 2.3 and more than all of the
shares to be offered are requested to be purchased by such holders, then the
offered shares shall be allocated among such holders in proportion to the number
of shares each holder requests to purchase.
3. Miscellaneous.
3.1 Assignment. The rights to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all
related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities
who (i) after such assignment or transfer, holds at least 250,000 shares of
Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations), (ii) is a
partnership that is affiliated with the transferring Holder that is also a
partnership or (iii) is a majority-owned subsidiary of the transferring Holder;
provided (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer,
furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or
assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are
being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such
assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the
further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Act. For the purposes of determining the number of shares
of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of
transferees and assignees of a partnership who are partners or retired partners
of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and
siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable Securities by gift,
will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the
partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify
individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or
taking any action under Section 1. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties (including
transferees of any shares of Registrable Securities).
3.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of Oregon as applied to agreements among Oregon
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Oregon.
3.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
3.4 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in
construing or interpreting this Agreement.

3.5 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or
permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or upon

registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be
notified at the address indicated for such party on the signature page hereof,
or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days' advance
written notice to the other parties.
3.6 Expenses. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to
enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and necessary disbursements in
addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
3.7 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended
and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only
with the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.
3.8 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held
to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from

Re: TRM Copy Centers Corporation
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to TRM Copy Centers Corporation, an Oregon
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the sale to you by the Company
of 2,350,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, no par value (the
"Series A Preferred"), and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "Warrants") pursuant to a Preferred Stock and Warrants
Purchase Agreement between you and the Company dated as of March __, 1998 (the
"Purchase Agreement"). This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 of the
Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this letter that are not otherwise
defined have the meaning given to them in the Purchase Agreement.
This Opinion Letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, the Legal Opinion Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law
(1991). As a consequence, it is subject to a number of qualifications,
exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as
more particularly described in the Accord, and this Opinion Letter should be
read in conjunction therewith.
We have reviewed the corporate action of the Company in connection with
this matter and have examined the corporate records, certificates, and other
documents and questions of law we deemed necessary to enable us to render this
opinion.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents provided to us as originals and
the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents provided to us
as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. As to questions of fact material
to the following opinions, when relevant facts were not independently
established, we have relied on certificates and representations of officers of
the Company and certificates of public officials.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
<PAGE>
Ready Cash Investment Partners, L.P.
May 4, 1998
Page 2
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and legally existing under
the laws of the State of Oregon, has full corporate power and corporate
authority to conduct the activities in which it is now engaged, as described in
reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"). The Company has full corporate power and corporate
authority to enter into and perform the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the
Investor's Rights Agreement and to issue and sell the Series A Preferred
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
2. Each of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Investor's Rights
Agreements is enforceable against the Company.
3. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000
shares of Common Stock, no par value, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
no par value, 2,350,000 of which shares have been designated Series A Preferred
Stock. After giving effect to the sale of Series A Preferred and the Warrants
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock are
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, (ii) 500,000
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants
and (iii) 2,350,000 shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement, the
Warrants and the Investor's Rights Agreements and the issuance and sale of the
Series A Preferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, certificates for
the Series A Preferred have been duly executed and delivered by duly authorized
officers of the Company, and the shares evidenced by such certificates, when
issued and delivered to you against payment therefor in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.
5. The issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. If
and when issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred in accordance with the
provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or
upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with its terms, the shares of
Common Stock issued upon such conversion or exercise will be validly issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable.
6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Purchase
Agreement, the Warrants and the Investor's Rights Agreement, and the issuance
and sale of the Series A Preferred and the issuance of any shares of Common
Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred or the exercise of the
Warrants will not (i) violate preemptive
<PAGE>
Ready Cash Investment Partners, L.P.
May 4, 1998
Page 3
rights of other holders of capital stock of the Company existing under the
Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws or under the
Oregon Business Corporation Act, (ii) violate the applicable provisions of any
statutory law or regulation, (iii) violate the Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws of the Company, (iv) breach, or result in a
default under, any agreement or other instrument filed as an exhibit to any
report filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act.
7. The Articles of Amendment containing the terms set forth in Exhibit A to
the Purchase Agreement have been duly approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company at a meeting duly called and held on _______________, 1998, and the
Articles of Amendment have been duly filed for record in the manner and place
required by law to effect an amendment of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation. No other action is required for the Articles of Amendment to be
duly adopted and to become effective and constitute a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
8. The offer and sale of the Series A Preferred and the Warrants under the
circumstances contemplated by the Agreement are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Oregon
Securities Law.
9. The Oregon Control Share Act does not apply to the acquisition by
ReadyCash of Series A Preferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and shares of
Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred
pursuant to the Articles of Amendment and the exercise of the Warrants.
10. The procedure described in Section 2.2 of the Investors' Rights
Agreement for increasing the size of the Company's Board of Directors and
electing certain individuals to the Board of Directors does not conflict with
Oregon law or the Company's Bylaws.
The General Qualifications, which include the Bankruptcy and Insolvency
Exception, the Equitable Principles Limitation and the Other Common
Qualifications (all as defined in the Accord) apply to the opinions set forth
above.
The opinions in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, above, are qualified by the
fact that the sum of (i) the total outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock and (ii) the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable pursuant to
previously granted options, the Series A Preferred and the Warrants, exceeds the
number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is currently authorized to
issue pursuant to its Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on the date of this Agreement, Grantee and Issuer entered into a
Preferred Stock and Warrants Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement");
WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Grantee's execution of the
Purchase Agreement, Issuer has agreed to grant Grantee the Option (as

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement, the parties

common stock of Issuer ("Common Stock") at a price per share equal to $11.25
(the "Option Price"). The number of shares of Common Stock that may be received
upon the exercise of the Option and the Option Price is subject to adjustment as
herein set forth.
2. (a) The Grantee may exercise the Option, in whole or part, upon, but
only upon, the occurrence of one of the following events on or prior to the date
six months after the date hereof (a "Triggering Event"): the Company becomes a
party to (i) a merger in which it is not the surviving party; (ii) a transaction
in which it sells substantially all of its assets; or (iii) a transaction in
which a majority of its Common Stock is transferred to another party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option may not be
exercised at any time when Grantee shall be in material breach of any of its
covenants or agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Option shall
terminate upon either (i) Closing of the sale of Series A Preferred Stock to
Grantee pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the passage of ten days
following the occurrence of a Triggering Event (an "Exercise Termination
Event").
(b) Issuer shall notify Grantee promptly in writing of the occurrence
of any Triggering Event, but the giving of such notice by Issuer shall not be a
condition to the right of the Grantee to exercise the Option.

<PAGE>
(c) In the event the Grantee is entitled to and wishes to exercise the
Option (or any portion thereof), it shall send to Issuer a written notice (the
date of which being herein referred to as the "Notice Date") specifying (i) the
total number of shares it will purchase pursuant to such exercise and (ii) a
place and date not earlier than three business days nor later than 15 business
days from the Notice Date for the closing of such purchase (the "Closing Date");
provided, that if prior notification to or approval of any regulatory or
antitrust agency is required in connection with such purchase, the Grantee shall
promptly file the required notice or application for approval, shall promptly
notify Issuer of such filing, and shall expeditiously process the same and the
period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run
instead from the date on which any required notification periods have expired or
been terminated or such approvals have been obtained and any requisite waiting
period or periods shall have passed. Any exercise of the Option shall be deemed
to occur on the Notice Date relating thereto.
(d) At the closing referred to in subsection (c) of this Section 2,
the Grantee shall (i) pay to Issuer the aggregate purchase price for the shares
of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by Issuer,
provided that failure or refusal of Issuer to designate such a bank account
shall not preclude the Grantee from exercising the Option and (ii) present and
surrender this Agreement to Issuer at its principal executive offices.
(e) At such closing, simultaneously with the delivery of immediately
available funds as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 2, Issuer shall
deliver to the Grantee a certificate or certificates representing the number of
shares of Common Stock purchased by the Grantee.
(f) Certificates for Common Stock delivered at a closing hereunder may
be endorsed with a restrictive legend that shall read substantially as follows:
The securities represented by this certificate have been issued
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or
any state securities laws. They may not be sold, assigned, pledged or
otherwise transferred for value unless they are registered under the
Act and any applicable state securities laws or the Corporation
receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it, or otherwise
satisfies itself, that registration is not required.
(g) Upon the giving by the Grantee to Issuer of the written notice of
exercise of the Option provided for under subsection (c) of this Section 2 and
the tender of the applicable purchase price in immediately available funds, the
Grantee shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of
Issuer shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of
Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Grantee. Issuer shall
pay all expenses, and any and all United States federal, state and local taxes
and other charges that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issue
and delivery of
2

stock certificates under this Section 2 in the name of the Grantee or its
assignee, transferee or designee.
3. Issuer agrees: (i) that it shall at all times maintain, free from
preemptive rights, sufficient authorized but unissued or treasury shares of
Common Stock so that the Option may be exercised without additional
authorization of Common Stock after giving effect to all other options,
warrants, convertible securities and other rights to purchase Common Stock; (ii)
that it will not, by charter amendment or through reorganization, consolidation,
merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the covenants,
stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder by Issuer;
(iii) promptly to take all action as may from time to time be required
(including complying with all applicable premerger notification, reporting and
waiting period requirements specified in 15 U.S.C. Section 18a and regulations
promulgated thereunder) in order to permit the Grantee to exercise the Option
and Issuer duly and effectively to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto;
and (iv) promptly to take all action provided herein to protect the rights of
the Grantee against dilution.
4. Upon receipt by Issuer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Agreement, and (in the case of
loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Agreement, if mutilated, Issuer will execute
and deliver a new Agreement of like tenor and date.
5. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of
the Option and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided in this Section 5.
(a) If the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer is hereafter
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Issuer by reason of any stock split,
combination of shares or dividend payable in shares, recapitalization or
reclassification, then appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and
kind of shares available pursuant to the Option such that Grantee's
proportionate interest in the Issuer before and after the occurrence of the
event is maintained.
(b) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise hereof is adjusted as provided in this Section 5, the Option Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Option Price by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable after the adjustment.

nonassessable, and will be delivered free and clear of all claims, liens,
