It is hereby ordered that the concurring opinion of Justice Chambers in the above cause, as the same appears at 146 Wash.2d 514, 534, 48 P.3d 261, be changed as follows:

1. In the eighth and seventh lines from the bottom of page 534, [18th and 19th line from top of column two of page 271 of 48 P.3d] the text "CHAMBERS, J. (concurring)—I concur with the result reached by the majority." is deleted and the following text is inserted in its place:

CHAMBERS, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part). I largely concur with the reasoning of the majority. However, I would remand for further proceedings based on contract principles, equity, and public policy.

2. In the seventh line from the bottom of page 534, [19th line from top of column two of page 271 of 48 P.3d], the sentence beginning with the words "The majority grounds" begins a new paragraph.

3. The following sentence is inserted at the end of the opinion in the 10th line from the top of page 535 [7th line from bottom of column two of p. 271, of 48 P.3d]: "However, given that the trial court applied a different standard, remand is the appropriate remedy."
