SIZE=2><I>Prior Approval</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Before seeking employment or other engagement with any entity that could
potentially be construed as a Competitive Entity within the meaning of this Section, Executive must first make a written request (a "Request") to Corporation for its approval that such entity is not a
Competitive Entity for
purposes of this Agreement. Corporation agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold approval of any such entity provided that the activities of the entity are not actually competitive to
Corporation. </FONT></P>

and Corporation are unable to reach agreement whether the proposed entity is a Competitive Entity, Executive and Corporation mutually agree to submit such dispute to expedited binding arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted in Portland, Oregon, by a single arbitrator under the rules of (but not under the auspices of) Arbitration Service of Portland,&nbsp;Inc. Executive and Corporation
agree to use their mutual best efforts to select an arbitrator and conduct all phases of the arbitration as expeditiously as possible, and in any event within 90&nbsp;days following the date of the

law. </FONT></P>
