     sometimes referred to as the "Project." In addition, the Lessee has the
     right, in common with other tenants in the Project and subject to the Rules
     and Regulations, to use of the Common Areas including the parking areas.
     See Legal Description attached as Exhibit B.

2.   TERM. This Lease shall be for a term of ten years commencing upon Lessor's
     acquisition of the property (approximately November 1, 1999) (the
     "Commencement Date") and terminating ten years thereafter. The parties will
     execute a Commencement Date Memorandum commemorating the actual
     Commencement Date.

3.   RENT. Lessee covenants and agrees to pay Lessor at 1001 Fourth Avenue,
     Suite 4700, Seattle, WA 98154, or to such other party or at such other

     Lessor, and shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances,
     regulations, orders and directives and insurance requirements applicable to
     Lessee's use of the Premises. Lessee shall not occupy or use or permit any
     portion of the Premises to be occupied or used in such a manner or for any

6.   RULES AND REGULATIONS. Lessee agrees to comply with any Rules and
     Regulations attached hereto, any recorded Covenants, Conditions and
     Restrictions affecting the Project, as well as such other reasonable rules
     and regulations as may from time to time be adopted by Lessor for the
     management, good order and safety of common areas, the building and its

<PAGE>

     rules and regulations by its employees, agents and invitees. Lessor's
     failure to enforce any of such rules and regulations against Lessee or any
     other Lessee shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same.

7.   MAINTENANCE. Lessee agrees to take possession of the Premises "as is" and
     that the Premises are in tenantable and acceptable condition. Lessee
     shall at its expense and at all times keep, maintain, repair and replace
     the Premises, including but not limited to the roof, exterior walls,
     foundations and common areas and facilities, if any, storefronts,
     exterior doors and windows, Lessee division walls and mechanical,
     electrical, sprinkler and other utility systems, together with connections
     to utility distribution systems, in at least as good a condition as when
     delivered to Lessee. Lessee agrees to maintain a preventative maintenance
     contract providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of the
     heating and air conditioning systems with a licensed mechanical contractor
     and containing terms and specifications acceptable to Lessor. Lessee shall
     further keep the Premises and adjoining common areas in a neat, clean, safe
     and sanitary condition; protect water, drain, gas and other pipes to
     prevent freezing or clogging and repair all leaks and damage, caused
     thereby; replace all glass and panels in windows and doors of the Premises
     which become cracked, broken or damaged; and remove ice and snow from
     entries and common areas immediately adjacent to the Premises.

8.   UTILITIES AND FEES. Lessee agrees to pay promptly when due all charges for
     light, heat, water, sewer, garbage, fire protection and other utilities and
     services to the Premises, and all license fees and other governmental
     charges levied on Lessee's property and the operation of Lessee's business
     on the Premises. Lessor shall not be liable for any injury or damages
     suffered as a result of the interruption of utilities or services by fire,
     or other casualty, strike, riot, vandalism, the making of necessary repairs
     or improvements, or other causes beyond Lessor's reasonable control.

9.   MONTHLY OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENTS. Lessee shall pay as additional
     monthly rent its prorata share of all expenses incurred by Lessor for
     operation of the Project during the term or any extension hereof, as
     follows:

     A.   Real Estate taxes and assessments, together with any assessments
          levied by the Owner's Association, if any.

     B.   Usual and necessary costs of operation, maintenance and repair
          (including replacement) as determined by standard accounting practice,
          including without limitation, all utilities and services not metered
          or charged directly to Lessee, insurance (including, but not limited
          to the insurance provided for under Paragraph 16 C below), painting,
          upkeep and repair of parking, landscaping, and all common areas and
          facilities. If any portion of the Property, or any system or equipment
          is replaced by Lessor, and if the useful life of such replaced item
          extends beyond the term of this Lease (as such term may be extended by
          the exercise of any options), the cost of such replacement will be
          prorated over its


                                       2
<PAGE>

          useful life and Lessee will be responsible only for that portion of
          the cost which is applicable to the lease term (as extended).

     C.   A Management fee equal to three percent (3%) of Lessee's monthly rent,
          including Base Rent and any Additional Rent. Lessor shall from time to
          time estimate and provide notice to Lessee of its monthly expense
          based upon existing or expected costs. Such monthly estimated amount
          shall be paid by Lessee on or before the first day of each month.
          Lessor, annually or upon termination hereof, shall compute Lessee's
          actual expenses. Any overpayment shall be applied as a credit to
          Lessee against future expense payments. Any deficiency shall be paid
          to Lessor by Lessee within fifteen (15) days after the date of
          Lessor's statement. Lessor's records showing expenditures made for
          such expenses shall be available for Lessee's inspection at any
          reasonable time.

          The determination of actual costs and estimated costs allocable to the
          Premises shall be made by Lessor. Lessor or its agent shall keep
          records showing all expenditures made for the items enumerated above,
          which records shall be available for inspection and review by Lessee.
          The Lessee shall have the right, at reasonable times and upon
          reasonable prior notice to the Lessor to review the Lessor's records
          relating to the actual costs and estimated costs allocable to the
          Premises for a particular Lease Year, which review must be conducted
          within one (1) year after Lessee's receipt of the statement of actual
          costs allocable to the Premises for that particular Lease Year. If
          such review is not conducted within such one (1) year period, then the
          matters set forth in the statement of actual costs allocable to the
          Premises for that particular Lease Year shall be deemed conclusive.
          The Lessee shall pay the costs and expenses of such review unless such
          review reveals that the Lessor has overstated the Operating Expenses
          for the Lease Year in question by an amount equal to 5% or more for
          that particular Lease Year in which event the Lessor shall pay up to
          $1,000 in payment of the actual costs incurred by Lessee in the
          performance of such review.

10.  LESSOR'S RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves the right without liability to
     Lessee: (a) to inspect the Premises, and to show them to prospective
     Lessees, partners or lenders and if they are vacated, to prepare them for
     re-occupancy; (b) to retain at all times and to use in appropriate
     instances keys to doors within and into the Premises; (c) to make repairs,
     alterations, additions or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in
     or about the building, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises and
     during the continuance of any work, to close common areas and to interrupt
     or temporarily suspend building services and facilities, all without
     affecting any of Lessee's obligations hereunder, so long as the Premises
     are reasonably accessible; and (d) generally to perform any act relating to
     the safety, protection and preservation of the Premises or building.

11.  POSSESSION. If Lessor does not deliver possession of the Premises at the
     Commencement Date of the term of this Lease, then, unless such delay is
     caused by


                                       3
<PAGE>

     Lessee, Lessee may give Lessor written notice of its intention to cancel
     this Lease if possession is not delivered within ninety (90) days after
     receipt of such notice by Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any
     damages caused by failure to deliver possession of the Premises and Lessee
     shall not be liable for any rent until such time as Lessor delivers
     possession. A delay of possession shall not extend the termination date.
     Notwithstanding the above, in the event the delay was caused by Lessee,
     then the payment of Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date and Lessee
     shall not have any right to cancel this Lease as a result of such delay. If
     Lessor offers possession of the Premises or any portion thereof prior to
     the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease, and if Lessee accepts such
     early possession, then both parties shall be bound by all of the covenants
     and terms contained herein during such period of early possession including
     the payment of rent which shall be pro-rated accordingly and for the number
     of days of such early possession.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not either voluntarily or by
     operation of law assign, transfer, convey or encumber this Lease or any
     interest under it, or sublet its right to occupy or use all or any portion
     of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent which consent will
     not be unreasonably withheld. Among the criteria to be used by Lessor in
     liberally evaluating a request for assignment or subletting will be (i) the
     proposed use of the Premises; (ii) the anticipated impact, if any, on
     parking; (iii) the financial capacity of the assignee/sublessee to perform
     the obligations under this Lease; (iv) the compatibility of the proposed
     user with the remainder of the tenants and operation of the Building. In
     the event that Lessee requests consent to the assignment or subletting of
     more than a total of 50% of the Premises, then Lessor reserves the right to
     recapture the Premises or applicable portion thereof in lieu of giving its
     consent by notice given to Lessee within twenty (20) days after receipt of
     Lessee's written request for such assignment or subletting. Such recapture
     shall terminate this Lease as to the applicable space effective on the
     prospective date of assignment or subletting, which shall be the last day
     of a calendar month and not earlier than sixty (60) days after receipt of
     Lessee's request hereunder. In the event that Lessor shall not elect to
     recapture and shall thereafter give its consent, Lessee shall pay Lessor a
     reasonable fee, not to exceed One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00)
     to reimburse Lessor for processing costs incurred in connection with such
     consent. Lessor's consent shall not release or discharge Lessee from future
     liability under this Lease and shall not waive Lessor's right to consent to
     any future assignment or sublease. Any assignment or subletting without
     Lessor's consent shall be void and shall, at Lessor's option, constitute a
     default under this Lease. A transfer by the present majority shareholders
     of ownership or control of a majority of the voting stock of a corporate
     Lessee, or the change in form of entity of the Lessee, shall be deemed an
     assignment.

     The Lessee shall not assign its interest in or under this Lease for
     security purposes, nor shall the Lessee grant any security interest, lien
     or encumbrance against its interest in this Lease or in or to any property
     in or affixed to the Premises without the prior written consent of the
     Lessor, which consent shall be granted, withheld or conditioned in Lessor's
     sole discretion. In no event shall the Lessee grant, or allow to exist, any


                                       4
<PAGE>

     security interest in, or lien or encumbrance against the fee title to the
     Premises, the building in which the Premises is located or the real
     property on which the building is located.

13.  ALTERATIONS. After obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee
     may make alterations, additions and improvements in said Premises at its
     sole cost and expense. Lessee agrees to save Lessor harmless from any
     damage, loss, or expense arising therefrom and to comply with all laws,
     ordinances, rules and regulations. Upon termination of this Lease, all
     alterations, additions and improvements made in, to or on the Premises
     (including without limitation all electrical, lighting, plumbing, heating,
     air conditioning, and communications equipment and systems, doors, windows,
     partitions, drapery, carpeting, shelving, counters, and physically attached
     fixtures unless excluded by written agreement annexed hereto), shall remain
     upon and be surrendered as a part of the Premises; provided however, upon
     Lessor's request, Lessee shall remove those additions, alterations, or
     improvements as may be specified by Lessor, and repair and restore the
     Premises to is original condition at Lessee's sole cost and expense prior
     to expiration of the Term.

14.  LIENS. Lessee shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of
     any work performed, materials furnished, equipment supplied, or obligations
     incurred by or on behalf of Lessee. No work performed, material furnished,
     equipment supplied or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Lessee shall
     be deemed to be for the immediate use and benefit of Lessor so that no
     mechanic's lien or other lien shall be allowed against Lessor's estate in
     the premises. Lessee shall provide, at Lessee's own cost, waivers of lien
     signed by any party (including the Lessee) who performs work, furnishes
     materials, or supplies equipment to the Premises. Lessor may require, at
     Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien release and completion bond in an
     amount equal to either the actual contract price or one and one-half times
     the estimated cost of any improvements, additions or alterations in the
     Premises which Lessee desires to make, to insure Lessor against any
     liability for lien and to insure completion of the work.

15.  SIGNS. All signs or symbols placed by Lessee in the windows and doors of
     the Premises, or upon any exterior part of the building, shall be subject
     to Lessor's prior written approval. Lessor will not object to the size of
     any sign proposed by Lessee and approved by the City of Seattle. Prior to
     termination of this Lease, Lessee will remove all signs placed by it upon
     the Premises, and will repair any damages caused by such removal.

16.  INSURANCE.

     A.   Lessee shall pay for and maintain, during the entire Lease Term, the
          following policies of insurance:

          (i)  Commercial general liability insurance, including products,

               provide contractual liability insurance covering all liability
               assumed by Lessee under the provisions of this Lease and a copy
               of said endorsement will be delivered to Lessor prior to
               commencement of the Term.

               amount of one hundred percent (100%) full replacement cost. The
               policy shall include Lessor and Lessor's mortgagee, if any, as
               additional insureds, as their interests may appear, with a loss
               payable clause in favor of Lessor and Lessor's mortgagee to the
               extent of their interest in the property.

     B.   Each policy provided by Lessee shall expressly provide that it shall
          not be subject to cancellation or material change without at least
          thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lessor. Lessee shall
          furnish Lessor, prior to commencement of the Term, with insurance
          certificates naming Lessor as additional insured and, upon request,
          copies of such policies required to be maintained hereunder.

     C.   Lessor shall pay for and maintain property insurance during the entire
          Lease Term for the perils of Special cause of loss ("all risk") and

          percent (100%) full replacement value of the Building and Lessor's
          improvements.

17.  INDEMNITY AGAINST LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE.

     A.   Lessee assumes all liability for and shall indemnify, hold harmless
          and defend Lessor from and against all loss, damage or expense which
          the Lessor may sustain or incur, and against any and all claims,

          persons, including without limitation employees of Lessor, employees

          destruction of property, including without limitation property owned
          by and property in the care, custody or control of Lessor during the
          Term, due to or arising in any manner from:

          (i)  The acts or negligence of Lessee or any contractor,
               subcontractor, or agent of Lessee or their respective employees;

          (ii) The condition, use or operation of the Premises and/or materials
               or substances used by Lessee or any of its contractors,
               subcontractors or agents of Lessee or by their respective
               employees, regardless of whether or not furnished by Lessor under
               this Lease or otherwise;


                                       6
<PAGE>

          (iii) Any damage or injury to persons or property arising out of
                Lessee's breach or this Lease, including, but not limited to,
                obligations of Lessee under Section 7, Maintenance.

     B.   Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee as a result of loss or damage
          to Lessee's property or for death or bodily injury caused by the acts
          or omissions of other tenants in the project or by third parties
          (including criminal acts).

     C.   Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify Lessor for the portion of
          any claim or liability caused by or arising from the act, or
          negligence of Lessor.

     D.   It is mutually understood and agreed that the assumption of
          liabilities and indemnification provided for in this Section 17 shall
          survive any termination of this Lease.

18.  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If any of the Premises, or a substantial part of the
     building in which the Premises are located, shall be damaged or destroyed
     by fire or other insured casualty, and repair of the damage can not be
     completed within one hundred eighty (180) days, following receipt by Lessor
     of actual notice of such damage or destruction Lessor shall have the option
     either (a) to repair or rebuild within a reasonable time utilizing the
     insurance proceeds to effect such repair, or (b) not to repair or rebuild,
     and to cancel this Lease on thirty (30) days notice. If Lessor fails to
     give Lessee written notice of its election within thirty (30) days from the
     date of damage, or if the restoration of the Premises cannot be completed
     within one hundred eighty (180) days from date of notice, Lessee may cancel
     this Lease at its option on three (3) days notice. During the period of
     untenantability, rent shall abate in the same ratio as the portion of the
     Premises rendered untenantable bears to the whole of the Premises; provided
     that if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Lessee, there shall be
     no abatement of rent.

     If the Premises or the building in which the Premises are located shall be
     damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured casualty, and repair of the
     damage can be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days, Lessor shall
     repair or rebuild within a reasonable time utilizing the insurance proceeds
     to effect such repair.

     If any part of the Premises or the building in which the Premises are
     located shall be damaged or destroyed by an uninsured casualty Lessor shall
     have the option either (a) to repair or rebuild within a reasonable time,
     or (b) not to repair or rebuild, and to cancel this Lease on thirty (30)
     days notice. In the event of cancellation by Lessor as a result of an
     uninsured casualty, Lessee shall have the right, within five (5) days
     following Lessor's notice of cancellation, to override such cancellation by
     agreeing to repair the damage at Lessee's sole cost and expense. In such
     event, the Lessee shall repair or rebuild within a reasonable time
     following the damage or destruction.


                                       7

19.  EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole of the Premises shall be taken by any public
     authority under the power of eminent domain, or purchased by the condemnor
     in lieu thereof, then the term of this Lease shall cease as of the date
     possession is taken by such public authority. If only part of the Premises
     shall be so taken, the Lease shall terminate only as to the portion taken,
     and shall continue in full force and effect as to the remainder of said
     Premises, and the monthly rent shall be reduced proportionately; provided,
     however, if the remainder of the Premises cannot be made tenantable for the
     purposes for which Lessee has been using the Premises or if more than
     twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises
     shall be so taken, then either party, by written notice to the other, given
     at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that possession must be
     surrendered to the public authority, may terminate this Lease effective as
     of such surrender of possession. If any part of the building other than the
     Premises shall be so taken so as to render in Lessor's opinion the
     termination of this Lease beneficial to the remaining portion of the
     building, Lessor shall have the right within sixty (60) days of said taking
     to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee. In
     the event of any taking, whether whole or partial, Lessor shall be entitled
     to all awards, settlements, or compensation which may be given for the land
     and buildings. Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of
     any unexpired term of this Lease. Lessee shall have the right to seek an
     independent and separate award from the condemning authority so long as
     such award does not diminish the amount of the award payable to Lessor.

     Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has disclosed to Lessee on or before the
     signing of this Lease that Sound Transit has expressed an interest in
     property owned by Lessor which may include the Premises and that Sound
     Transit could acquire the Premises through condemnation or proceedings in
     lieu of condemnation sometime within the first few years of this Lease.

20.  INSOLVENCY. If Lessee shall be declared insolvent or bankrupt, or if
     Lessee's leasehold interest herein shall be levied upon or seized under
     writ of any court of law, or if a trustee, receiver or assignee be
     appointed for the property of Lessee, whether under operation of State or
     Federal statutes, then Lessor may, at its option, immediately, without
     notice (notice being expressly waived), terminate this Lease and take
     possession of said Premises.

21.  DEFAULT AND RE-ENTRY. If Lessee fails to keep or perform any of the
     covenants and agreements herein contained, then the same shall constitute a
     breach hereof, and if Lessee has not remedied such breach within three (3)
     days after written notice thereof from Lessor if the breach is non-payment
     of rent or other charges, or within ten (10) days after written notice
     thereof from Lessor in the event of the breach of any other covenant,
     except that if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10)
     day period, then if Lessee fails to commence to cure within such ten (10)
     day period and thereafter, diligently prosecute such cure to completion,
     then Lessor may, at its option, without further notice or demand:


                                       8
<PAGE>

     A.   Cure such breach for the account and at the expense of Lessee
          (including entry upon the Premises to make repairs on behalf of the
          Lessee where Lessee has failed to make such repairs as required under
          this Lease) and such expense shall be deemed additional rent due on
          the first of the following month; or

     B.   Re-enter the Premises, remove all persons therefrom, take possession
          of the Premises and remove all personal property therein at Lessee's
          risk and expense and (1) terminate this Lease, or (2) without
          terminating the Lease or in any way affecting the rights and remedies
          of Lessor or the obligations of Lessee, re-let the whole or any part
          of the Premises as agent for Lessee, upon such terms and conditions as
          Lessor may deem advisable. In either event, any moneys received from
          Lessee and any deposit or other amounts held by Lessor may first be
          applied by Lessor to any damages suffered by Lessor as a result of
          such default, including without limitation, costs and expenses
          incurred on re-entry and re-letting, any unamortized tenant
          improvements and commissions, cleaning, necessary repairs, restoration
          and alteration, and any commissions incurred on re-letting, and the
          balance of such amounts may be applied toward payment of other sums
          due to Lessor hereunder. In the event the Premises are re-let for
          Lessee's account, Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly any deficiency;
          however, Lessor shall not be required to pay any excess to Lessee.
          Upon termination of this Lease or of Lessee's right to possession,
          Lessor has the right to recover from Lessee: (1) The worth of the
          unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of such termination; (2)
          The worth of the amount of the unpaid rent that would have been earned
          after the date of such termination; and (3) Any other amount,
          including court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to
          compensate Lessor. "The Worth," as used in Section (1) is to be
          calculated allowing interest at 18% per year (or, if applicable, at
          such lower rate as may represent the highest legal limit allowed in
          the State of Washington). "The worth" as used for Section (2) is to be
          computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal
          Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination. The above
          remedies of Lessor are cumulative and in addition to any other
          remedies now or hereafter allowed by law or elsewhere provided for in
          this Lease.

22.  REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Any property of Lessee removed by Lessor in accordance
     with Section 21 above may be stored by Lessor or may be deposited on any
     area adjacent to the building at the sole risk and expense of Lessee and
     without any further responsibility of Lessor, and Lessor may at its sole
     discretion without or after removing said property, without obligation to
     do so and without notice to Lessee, sell or dispose of the same at public
     or private sale for the account of Lessee, in which event the proceeds
     therefrom may be applied by Lessor upon any indebtedness due from Lessee to
     Lessor. Lessee waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Lessor
     re-entering the Premises and removing or disposing of said property as
     herein provided.

23.  COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event either party shall commence legal
     action to enforce any provision of this Lease, the court shall award to the
     prevailing party all


                                       9
<PAGE>

     reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs incurred in connection therewith,
     including fees and costs on appeal. Any action relating to this Lease shall
     be brought in the County in which the Premises are located or, at Lessor's
     election, in King County, Washington.

24.  SUBROGATION WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee each herewith and hereby release and
     relieve the other and waive its entire right of recovery against the other
     for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils of fire,
     explosion or any other perils described in the "all risk" insurance and the
     events covered under the property insurance coverages required under this
     Lease, whether due to the negligence of either party, their agents,
     employees or otherwise. Each party shall obtain from its respective insurer
     under each insurance policy that it maintains a waiver of all rights of
     subrogation which the insurer may have against the other party for claims
     that are released under this Section 24.

25.  HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with the express consent of Lessor, shall hold
     over after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall remain
     bound by all the covenants and agreements herein, except that (a) the
     tenancy shall be from month-to-month and (b) the monthly rent to be paid by
     Lessee shall be determined by multiplying the monthly rent in effect
     immediately preceding such expiration times 150%. If Lessee holds
     possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration of the Lease
     without the express written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall remain bound by
     all the covenants and agreements herein, except that (a) the tenancy shall
     be from month-to-month and (b) the monthly rent to be paid by Lessee shall
     be the greater of twice the Monthly Minimum Rent in effect immediately
     preceding such expiration or the total rent which other Lessees have agreed
     to pay for the Premises during the period of such holdover, if Lessor has
     leased all or part of the Premises to other Lessees effective upon the
     expiration or termination of this Lease. Any such tenancy may be terminated
     with twenty (20) days prior notice as provided by Washington State law.

     In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Lessee shall also indemnify
     and hold Lessor harmless from and against all liability, losses, claims,
     causes of action, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation
     attorney fees) resulting from Lessee's failure to surrender the Premises,
     including without limitation claims made by succeeding Lessees resulting
     from Lessee's failure to surrender the Premises.

     SURVIVAL OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Lessee's obligations under this Section
     25 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

26.  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT; MORTGAGE PROTECTION.

     A.   SUBORDINATION-NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE. At the request of Lessor, Lessee
          shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver, all instruments which
          may be required to subordinate this Lease to any existing or future
          mortgages, deeds of trust and/or other security documents on or
          encumbering the Premises or on the leasehold interest held by Lessor,
          and to any extensions, renewals, or replacements thereof, provided
          that the mortgagee or beneficiary, as the case


                                       10
<PAGE>

          may be, shall agree to recognize this Lease in the event of
          foreclosure if Lessee is not in material default at such time.

     B.   LESSEE'S CERTIFICATE. Lessee shall at any time and from time to time
          within five (5) days after written notice from Lessor execute,
          acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing (a)
          certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
          (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
          certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and
          effect), and the date to which the rental and other charges are paid
          in advance, if any; and (b) acknowledging that there are not, to
          Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Lessor or
          Lessee hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; and
          (c) setting forth the date of commencement of rents and expiration of
          the Lease Term hereof, and, (d) such other information as the Lessor
          shall reasonably require. Any such statement may be relied upon by any
          prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
          Premises of which the Premises are a part.

     C.   MORTGAGEE PROTECTION CLAUSE. Lessee agrees to notify any mortgagee
          and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, with a copy of any
          notice of default served upon the Lessor, provided that prior to such
          notice Lessee has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of
          Assignment of Rents and Lease, or otherwise) of the addresses of such
          mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Lessee further agrees that if
          Lessor shall have failed to cure such default, then the mortgagees
          and/or trust deed holders have thirty (30) days within which to cure
          such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then
          such additional times as may be necessary if within such thirty (30)
          days any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is
          diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default
          (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings
          if necessary to affect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not
          be terminated if such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

27.  SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. Lessee shall, prior to the termination of this
     Lease or of Lessee's right to possession, remove from the Premises all
     personal property which Lessee is entitled to remove and those alterations,
     additions, improvements or signs which may be required by Lessor to be
     removed, pursuant to Sections 13 and 15 above, and shall repair or pay for
     all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. All such property
     remaining and every interest of Lessee in the same shall be conclusively
     presumed to have been conveyed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease as a
     bill of sale, without compensation, allowance, or credit to Lessee. Lessee
     shall upon termination of this Lease or of Lessee's right of possession,
     deliver all keys to Lessor and peacefully quit and surrender the Premises
     without notice, neat and clean, and in as good condition as when Lessee
     took possession, except for reasonable wear and tear as determined by
     Lessor and except for damage by casualty or condemnation.


                                       11
<PAGE>

28.  LATE PAYMENT AND INTEREST. If any amount due from Lessee is not received in
     the office of Lessor on or before the third (3rd) day following the date
     upon which such amount is due and payable, a late charge of five percent
     (5%) of said amount shall become immediately due and payable, which late
     charge Lessor and Lessee agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
     the processing and accounting costs that Lessor will incur by reason of
     such late payment. All past due amounts owing to Lessor under this Lease,
     including rent, shall be assessed interest at an annual percentage rate of
     eighteen percent (18%) from the date due until paid.

29.  NOTICE. Any notice, communication or remittance required or permitted by
     this Lease by either party to the other shall be deemed given, served or
     delivered, in writing, delivered personally or by courier or by telephonic
     facsimile transmission with automatic confirmation, addressed to the Lessor
     at the address specified for the payment of rent under paragraph 3 of this
     Lease or to Lessee at the Premises or to such other address as either party
     may designate to the other in writing from time to time.

30.  NO WAIVER OF COVENANTS. Time is of the essence of this Lease. Any waiver by
     either party of any breach hereof by the other shall not be considered a
     waiver of any future similar or other breach.

31.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. It is expressly understood and agreed by Lessor and
     Lessee that there are no promises, agreements, conditions, understandings,
     inducements, warranties, or representations, oral or written, express or
     implied, between them, other than as herein set forth and that this Lease
     shall not be modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing
     executed by the parties.

32.  BINDING ON HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and agreements of
     this Lease shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators,
     successors and assigns of both parties hereto, except as hereinabove
     provided.

33.  LESSOR'S ASSIGNMENT. It is fully understood that Lessor shall have the full
     right to assign this Lease, without any notice to Lessee, thereby relieving
     Lessor from all and any liabilities; provided however, that the assignee
     assumes all Lessor's responsibilities as set forth in this Lease.

34.  ENVIRONMENTAL. See Rider One attached and incorporated into this Lease by
     this reference.

35.  BROKERS; AGENCY DISCLOSURE; BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS.

     A.   PAYMENT OF BROKERS. Lessor shall pay the commissions due those real
          estate brokers or agents named below pursuant to separate written
          agreements. If Lessee has dealt with any other person or real estate
          broker with respect to leasing or renting space in the Building,
          Lessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said
          person or firm and Lessee shall hold Lessor free


                                       12
<PAGE>

          and harmless against any liability in respect thereto, including
          attorney's fees and costs.

     B.   AGENCY DISCLOSURE. At the signing of this Lease Agreement, Chris Corr
          and Dick Fosness, of Kidder Mathews and Segner, represented both
          Lessor and Lessee. Each party signing this document confirms that the
          prior oral and/or written disclosure of agency was provided to him/her
          in this transaction. (As required by WAC 308-124D-040).

36.  FORCE MAJEURE. Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee on account of the
     following acts of "force majeure," which shall include (a) the inability of
     Lessor to fulfill, or delay in fulfilling, any of Lessor's obligations
     under this Lease by reason of strike, lockout, other labor trouble, dispute
     or disturbance; (b) governmental regulation, moratorium, action, inaction,
     preemption or priorities or other controls, including delays in receipt of
     permits; (c) shortages of fuel, supplies or labor; (d) any failure or
     defect in the supply, quantity or character of electricity or water
     furnished to the Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of
     the public utility or others furnishing the Building with electricity or
     water; or (e) for any other reason, whether similar or dissimilar to the
     above, or for act of God, beyond Lessor's reasonable control. If this Lease
     specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of Lessor, that
     time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in Lessor's
     performance caused by any of the events of force majeure described herein.

37.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The recourse of Lessee to recover any claim
     against Lessor arising under this Lease shall be limited to Lessor's
     interest in the Building and to the rents, issues and profits from the
     Building. Lessee waives any and all recourse for any such liability against
     Lessor's members, partners, shareholders, trustees or beneficiaries, or any
     property or assets of Lessor other than the Building.

38.  EXHIBITS. The following exhibits or riders are made a part of this Lease
     and are incorporated herein by reference:

             Rider One - Environmental
             Exhibit A - Premises
             Exhibit B - Legal Description
             Exhibit C - Rules and Regulations

39.  OPTION TO RENEW. Provided Lessee has not been in default of any term or
     condition of the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Lessee shall have
     the Option to Renew this Lease on all of the terms and conditions contained
     in this Lease, except Monthly Minimum Rent for two consecutive terms of
     five years each ("Extended Term") following expiration of the Initial Term.
     The Monthly Minimum Rent for the Extended Term shall be negotiated. Lessee
     shall notify Lessor of its intent to exercise this Option to Renew at least
     than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the
     first Extended Term, as applicable. Upon receipt of Lessee's notice to
     extend,


                                       13
<PAGE>

     Lessor shall provide Lessee notice stating the rental rate it would be
     willing to accept for the extended term (the "Lessor's Notice Rate").
     Lessee shall have ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's Notice Rate to
     accept or reject such rate. In the event Lessee rejects the Lessor's Notice
     Rate such rejection shall state the rate that Lessee would be willing to
     pay for the extended term (the "Lessee's Notice Rate"). Within two (2) days
     thereafter each party shall select an appraiser and the two appraisers
     shall within ten (10) days appoint a third appraiser (the "Determining
     Appraiser"). The Determining Appraiser shall make an independent
     determination of whether the Lessor's Notice Rate or the Lessee's Notice
     Rate represents the correct Market Rent for the renewal term as of the
     commencement date, without reduction for concessions and including any
     market escalations then in effect. "Market Rent" shall mean the rent
     obtained for comparable space for a comparable term in comparable buildings
     in the geographic area in which the building is located and comparable
     space shall mean similar sized space in similar condition. The Determining
     Appraiser will be instructed that it must chose either the Lessor's Notice
     Rate or the Lessee's Notice Rate and is not permitted to select any other
     rate. Such determination of Market Rent shall be made within thirty (30)
     days of selection of the Determining Appraiser. Each party shall be bound
     by this determination. All appraisal costs will be paid by the party whose
     suggested rate was not selected as the Market Rate by the Determining
     Appraiser. The market rent determination established pursuant to this
     paragraph will be binding upon the parties and the Lease shall be extended
     for the additional term unless the parties mutually agree to nullify the
     lease extension and allow the Lease to terminate on its originally
     scheduled termination date.

                  EMISSIONS; STORAGE, USE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

a.   EMISSIONS. Lessee shall not (i) discharge, emit or permit to be discharged
     or emitted, any liquid, solid or gaseous matter, or any combination

b.   STORAGE. If, with or without violation of this Lease, Lessee possesses at

     prudent practices.

c.   DISPOSAL OF WASTE. Lessee shall not keep any trash, garbage, waste or other
     refuse on the Premises except in sanitary containers and shall regularly

     containers in a clean and sanitary condition. Lessee shall properly dispose
     of all sanitary sewage and shall not use the sewage system for the disposal
     of anything except sanitary sewage, nor in excess of capacity. Lessee shall

     or earlier termination of the term of the Lease or the termination of
     Lessee's right of possession and be fully enforceable thereafter.

f.   INDEMNIFICATION REGARDING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. In addition to the
     indemnity obligations contained elsewhere herein, Lessee shall indemnify,
     defend and hold harmless Lessor, the Premises, the Project, and the holder

     regulations; and (iv) any and all expenses or obligations, including
     attorney's fees, incurred at, before and after any administrational
     proceeding, trial, appeal and review. This indemnity shall survive the
     expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease or the

     enforceable thereafter.

g.   INFORMATION. Lessee shall give prior written notice to Lessor of any use,
     whether incidental or otherwise, of Hazardous Substances on the Premises,
     and shall immediately deliver to Lessor a copy of any notice of any
     violation of any Law with respect to such use. Lessee shall also provide to
     Lessor, upon request, with any and all information regarding Hazardous
     Substances in the Premises, including contemporaneous copies of all filings
     and reports to governmental entities, and any other information requested
     by Lessor. In the event of any accident, spill or other incident involving
     Hazardous Substances, Lessee shall immediately report the same to Lessor
     and supply Lessor with all information and reports with respect to the
     same. All information described herein shall be provided to Lessor
     regardless of any claim by Lessee that it is confidential or privileged.

     anything outside of their regular duties unless under special instructions
     from Lessor.

22.  Lessor may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the
     benefit of Lessee or any other Lessee, but no such waiver by Lessor shall
     be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of Lessee
     or any other Lessee, nor prevent Lessor from thereafter enforcing any such
     Rules and Regulations against any or all of the Lessees of the Project.

23.  These Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and shall not be construed
     to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the terms, covenants,
     agreements and conditions of the Lease.

     Regulations as, in its judgment, may from time to time be needed for safety
