GENERAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY

      This agreement is between the Windward Foundation, Inc., the Windward Education and
Research Center, Inc. and the above named party who hereby acknowledges that Windward is
located in Klickitat, Washington, and situated on rough, forested terrain. Windward is involved
in the activities of both a working farm with assorted animals, livestock, pens, sheds and
outbuildings, and a construction site with buildings and projects in various stages of
completion, with lumber, tools, equipment and light and heavy machinery.

      I also acknowledge the inherent dangers of these conditions and activities and have made
a voluntary choice to reside at Windward and participate in activities despite those hazards. In
consideration therefore, I agree to assume any and all risks of injury which might be associated
with or result from my participation in these conditions and activities.

      I further release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Windward, its officers,
agents, or members from all liability to each other, or any other party claiming an interest
through each other, for all loss or damage or demand therefore on account of injury to the
person or property, whether caused by their negligence or for any other reason, while
participating in Windward activities.

      I also acknowledge that Windward is a transitional center and my residency is not
predicated on the standard landlord-tenant laws of the State of Washington. Tenancy is by
agreement between the parties and no application fees, deposits or credit checks were required.
Windward can terminate my residency at any time for cause as determined by the Board of
Directors of The Windward Foundation, and in such case I agree to vacate the premises
immediately. In the event that I leave any personal possessions behind, I agree to make
arrangements to return within seven days to claim and remove those possessions, and
furthermore that any items not reclaimed within that seven day period should be considered to
have been donated to the Windward Center and may be utilized by the Center in which ever way
the Center deems most appropriate. Any arrangements made between Windward and
myself to store my personal property beyond the seven days shall be in writing and signed by
myself and Windward's representative.

      In the event of a dispute between the parties arising out of my participation in any
Windward activity, I agree to work through The Windward Foundation's internal dispute
resolution procedures. If these procedures do not lead to the resolution of the dispute, the
parties agree to submit it to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules for commercial
arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, with three arbitrators, at least two of whom
must be members of Windward (one chosen by myself and the other by the other party, and the
two of them to select the third). The arbitration may take place wherever the parties mutually
agree, but will be at Windward if they do not agree otherwise, and in any case the laws of the
State of Washington will apply. During arbitration, either party will be entitled to discovery
pursuant to the procedures available in litigation in Washington.

      It is the intent of the undersigned that the above Release be as broad and inclusive as
allowed by law and that if any portion is invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and
effect.

      I have read and understood this Release and all its terms. I warrant that the above is true
and correct in all respects and that no oral representations, statements or inducements apart
from the foregoing have been made.

Dated: __________________ _____________________________________
