7. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, and in
addition to any rights of indemnification and contribution to which
Welco may be entitled pursuant to any agreement among underwriters,
underwriting agreement or otherwise, and to the extent allowed by law,
Metropolitan hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold Welco and
each person controlling, controlled by or under common control with
Welco within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
the rules and regulations thereunder (individually, an "Indemnified
Person") harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, damage,
liability, cost or expense whatsoever to which such Indemnified Person
may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal
or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
arising out of, based upon, or in any way related or attributed to (i)
this Agreement, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any other filing, report, document, release or
communication, whether oral or written, referred to in paragraph 5
hereof or 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, (iii) any application or other document
executed by Metropolitan or based upon written information furnished
by Metropolitan filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the
Debentures under the securities or Blue Sky laws thereof, or 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 (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty made
by Metropolitan in this Agreement. Metropolitan further agrees that
upon demand by an Indemnified Person at any time or from time to time,
it will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Person for, or pay, any
loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense as to which
Metropolitan has indemnified such person pursuant hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7, any such
payment or reimbursement by Metropolitan of fees, expenses or
disbursement incurred by an Indemnified Person in any proceeding in
which a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (after all
appeals or the expiration of time to appeal) is entered against such
Indemnified Person as a direct result of such person's negligence, bad
faith or willful misfeasance will be promptly repaid to Metropolitan.
In addition, anything in this paragraph 7 to the contrary
notwithstanding, Metropolitan shall not be liable for any settlement
of any action or proceeding effected without its written consent.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under
paragraph (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against Metropolitan under paragraph (a), notify Metropolitan in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify
Metropolitan will not relieve Metropolitan from any liability which it
may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this paragraph
7 if such omission shall not have materially prejudiced Metropolitan's
ability to investigate or to defend against such claim. In case any
such action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and such
Indemnified Person notifies Metropolitan of the commencement thereof,
Metropolitan will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from
such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided, however,
that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified
Person and Metropolitan or any corporation controlling, controlled by
or under common control with Metropolitan, or any director, officer,
employee, representative or agent of any thereof, or any other
"Qualified Independent Underwriter" retained by Metropolitan in
connection with the Offering and the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to such
other defendant, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to select
separate counsel to represent it. Upon receipt of notice from
Metropolitan to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume
the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Person of
counsel, Metropolitan will not be liable to such Indemnified Person
under this paragraph 7 for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred
by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof
(other than the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently
incurred by such Indemnified Person) unless (i) the Indemnified Person
shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the provision
of the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that
Metropolitan shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel in any one jurisdiction representing the Indemnified
Person, which counsel shall be approved by Welco), (ii) Metropolitan,
within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action,
shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person, or (iii)
Metropolitan shall have authorized in writing the employment of
counsel for the Indemnified Person at the expense of Metropolitan, and
except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability
shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i)
or (iii).
(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in
paragraph 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason
held by a court to be unavailable from Metropolitan to Welco on
grounds of policy or otherwise, Metropolitan and Welco shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending same) to which Metropolitan and Welco
may be subject in such proportion so that Welco is responsible for
that portion represented by the percentage that its fee under this
Agreement bears to the public offering price appearing on the cover
page of the Prospectus and Metropolitan is responsible for the
balance, except as Metropolitan may otherwise agree to reallocate a
portion of such liability with respect to such balance with any other
person, including, without limitation, any other "Qualified
Independent Underwriter"; provided, however, that (i) in no case shall
Welco be responsible for any amount in excess of the fee set forth in
paragraph 4 above and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act shall
be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (c), any
person controlling, controlled by or under common control with Welco,
or any partner, director, officer, employee, representative or any
agent of any thereof, shall have the same rights to contribution as
Welco and each person who controls Metropolitan within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer
of Metropolitan who shall have signed the Registration Statement and
each director of Metropolitan shall have the same rights to
contribution as Metropolitan, subject in each case to clause (i) of
this paragraph (c). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly
after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or
proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for
contribution may be made against the other party under this paragraph
(c), notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the
omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom
contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may
have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (c). The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph 7
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person or
termination of this Agreement.

warrants to Welco that this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Metropolitan and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of Metropolitan.

EXHIBIT A
The opinion of Welco is conditioned upon Metropolitan's undertaking
to maintain the rates on its Debentures at least equal to an "assumed
floor." Based upon the pricing formula described below:
1. The interest rate to be paid on the Debentures shall be fixed
by Metropolitan from time to time. However, the rate shall
not be lower than the computation made per the worksheet on
Exhibit B, which is attached and incorporated by reference
herein.
2. The "assumed floor" for 6 to 11 month Debentures shall be at
least 1.25% above the lesser of the interest rate on the 6
month U.S. Treasury Bills, on a discount basis, based upon
the auction average (which is published widely in newspapers
throughout the country, normally on the day following the
auction) and composite average of the offering rates on 6
month certificates of deposit currently being offered by
banks and savings institutions in the northwestern section
of the United States. For purposes of this composite
average of certificate of deposit rates, the rates being
offered by the following institutions shall be considered
initially:
a. First Interstate
b. Great American Bank
c. U.S. Bank of Washington
d. Security Pacific
e. Seafirst
x. Xxxxxxxxxx Mutual
x. Xxxxxxxxxx Trust
Welco and Metropolitan agree to review on an ongoing basis the
group which comprises the composite average, and may
substitute another institution in the composite group from
time-to-time by mutual agreement, as the case may be.
3. The "assumed floor" for 60 to 71 month Debenture shall be
computed in like manner as that described in paragraph "2"
above, except that the latest auction average on 5 year U.S.
Treasury Notes shall be considered in place of the 6 month
U.S. Treasury Bills, and 5 year Certificates of Deposit
currently offered in the composite group shall be considered
in lieu of the 6 month rate.
4. Rates on 12 to 23 month, 24 to 35 month, 36 to 47 month and 48
to 59 month Debentures shall be at lease equal to the
interpolated differences between the computation of the
"assumed floor" of 6 to 11 month Debentures and 60 to 71
month Debentures, based upon the computation set forth in
Exhibit B.
5. Rates on 72 to 125 month Debentures shall be no lower than the
"assumed floor" for 60 to 71 month Debentures.
6. Rates on Installment Debentures, Series I, shall be no lower
than .25% below the "assumed floor" for 60 to 71 month
Debentures.
7. The computation of the "assumed floor" shall be made monthly,
as of the first Tuesday of each month, or at such other
times during any month that Metropolitan causes the offering
rates to change from those in effect on the first Tuesday of
each month ("the computation date"). Metropolitan agrees to
furnish Welco with a computation of the "assumed floor" by
completing the worksheet on Exhibit B. Should the offering
rates at the time on Metropolitan's Debentures be less than
the "assumed floor" as computed, Metropolitan agrees to
raise the rates on its Debentures to at least the "assumed
floor" within 10 calendar days of the computation date.
Should Metropolitan fail to raise its offering rates within
the 10 day period referred to above, Welco reserves the
right, in its uncontrolled discretion, to withdraw its
opinion regarding the offering rates on the Debentures.
