Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Lease, or alternatively, Landlord may accelerate Tenant's obligations under the Lease and recover from Tenant: (i) unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under the Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of Default, including without limitation Reletting Expenses described in Section 22b. b.

Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel the Tenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under the Tenant, and remove the personal property of either. Landlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, in Landlord's or Tenant's name for the account of Tenant, for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the Premises. Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate the Lease. During the Event of Default, Tenant will pay Landlord the rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease if repossession had not occurred, plus the net proceeds, if any, after reletting the Premises, after deducting Landlord's Reletting Expenses.

Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, hereby waives and surrenders all rights and privileges which they may have under any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease term, as it may have been extended. d. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Tenant agrees to pay Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were payments of Rent, and Landlord shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent. e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at Landlord's request following an uncured Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store the property at Tenant's expense and risk. If Tenant does not pay the storage cost within five (5) days of Landlord's request, Landlord may, as its option, have any or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord may become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Landlord deems proper, without notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale: (i) to the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred; (ii) to the payment of the costs or charges for storing such property; (iii) to the payment of any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any, to Tenant. Nothing in this Section shall limit Landlord's right to sell Tenant's personal property as permitted by law to foreclose Landlord's lien for unpaid rent. 23. MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created by Landlord which is now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances, interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions ("Landlord's Mortgage"), provided the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord's Mortgage shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect.

NON-WAIVER. Landlord's waiver of any breach of any term contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same term for subsequent acts of Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord or Rent or other amounts due by Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant preceding such acceptance. 25. HOLDOVER. If Tenant shall, without the written consent of Landlord, hold over after the expiration or termination of the Term, such tenancy shall be deemed to be on a month-to-month basis any may be terminated according to Washington law.

This Amendment and all of the changes to the Lease Agreement set forth herein shall be effective as of November 1, 2000, unless otherwise expressly stated herein. 2. Section 1.a. of the Lease is amended to provide that the Premises shall consist of an agreed area of 6,629 rentable square feet. The Premises are outlined on the floor plans for the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Building attached to this Amendment as Exhibit A. 3. Section 1.c. of the Lease is amended to read: c. Lease Termination Date. The Lease shall terminate at midnight on October 31, 2002, or such earlier or later date as provided in Section 3 (the "Termination Date"). 4. Section 1.f. of the Lease is amended to read: f. Security Deposit. The original amount of the Security Deposit was $153,343.75. The Security Deposit is reduced to $50,000. The difference, being the sum of $103,343.75, shall be retained by Landlord free of any claim by Tenant. 5. Section 1.i. of the Lease is amended to provide that Tenant's Pro Rata Share is 28.02%. 6. Section 5 of the Lease is amended by deleting the second, third and fourth sentences of such Section which are typed in italicized capital letters in such Section. 7. Section 8.b. of the Lease is amended to read: b.

In other words, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs as if Option One; Triple Net had been selected in Section 8.b of the Lease as it read prior to this Amendment. 8. Exhibit A to the Lease is replaced with Exhibit A to this Amendment. 9. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has fulfilled all of its obligations under Exhibit C captioned Tenant Improvement Schedule, except that Landlord has not provided Tenant with the $50,000 Tenant Improvement Allowance described in the paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH FLOORS" of Exhibit C. The paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH FLOORS" of Exhibit C is hereby deleted. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of the paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH FLOORS" of Exhibit C and agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility to provide the $50,000 Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant. Any other provisions of the Lease requiring Landlord to construct any tenant improvements in the Premises after the date of this Amendment or to provide Tenant with any allowances for tenant improvements in the Premises after the date of this Amendment are hereby deleted and shall be null and void as of the date of this Amendment. 10. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has fulfilled all of its obligations under Exhibit D captioned Landlord Penalty and that Exhibit D is hereby deleted. 11. Paragraph 1 of the Rent Rider is amended to read: 1. Base Monthly Rent Schedule. Tenant shall pay Landlord base monthly rent during the Lease Term according to the following schedule: Lease Year Base Monthly Rent Amount November 1, 2000 - October 31, 2001 $7,733.83, plus Triple Net charges November 1, 2001 - October 31, 2002 $7,733.83, plus Triple Net charges, plus Consumer Price Index Adjustment as set forth below. Triple Net charges are estimated to be $3,038.29 per month during the period from November 1, 2000 - October 31, 2001, which is the First Lease Year. 12. The sentence following paragraph 2 of the Rent Rider is amended to read: * The actual adjustment to be made pursuant to the Consumer Price Index Adjustment as set forth above shall not be less than 3% per year or more than 6% per year. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the geographical Statistical Area in which the Premises is located is currently designated "Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton". By way of example, if the CPI for October, 2000 was 180 and the CPI for October 2001 was 187, then the base monthly rent amount would be $8,034.59 computed as follows: $7,733.83 x 187/180 = $8,034.59. 13. The first sentence of the checked paragraph of the Parking Rider is amended to read: Tenant and its customers shall be entitled to seven (7) parking stalls in the designated shared parking areas for the Property at no charge. 14. The first two sentences of the Option to Extend Rider is amended to read: Provided Tenant is not in default at the time of exercise or upon the commencement of any extension term, Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the term of this Lease for a period of three (3) years. Tenant shall exercise this option (if at all) by delivering notice to Landlord not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then current Lease term, time being of the essence. 15. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right, at its option, to expand the Premises to include 840 square feet of space in the basement of the Building as outlined on the attached Exhibit B (the "Expansion Space") by giving Landlord notice (the "Expansion Notice") on or before December 30, 2000 (the "Expansion Space Notice Date"). If Tenant gives the Expansion Notice on or before the Expansion Space Notice Date, then as of January 1, 2001, the Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises. Tenant shall take the Expansion Space in its "AS IS" condition. Tenant, at its cost, shall install and pay for any improvements to the Expansion Space desired by Tenant, including a heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system, any floor coverings, wall finishes, lighting or other improvements. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (i) copies of all proposed contracts for such improvements, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's ability to pay the cost of installation of such improvements not less than ten (10) days before commencing installation of any such improvements. Tenant shall not commence the installation of any such improvements until Landlord has approved such contracts and evidence of payment ability. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to furnish any utilities other than electricity or any services to the Expansion Space. The base monthly rent for the Expansion Space shall be $1,015.00, which includes real estate taxes, insurance and elevator maintenance, and which shall be payable at the same time and in the same manner under the Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay for, all electricity used in the Expansion Space. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall install an electric meter (including, without limitation, any additional wiring, conduit or panel required therefor) to measure the electricity consumed by Tenant in the Expansion Space. If Tenant fails to give the Expansion Notice on or before the Expansion Space Notice Date, then this option to expand shall immediately terminate as to the Expansion Space, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Expansion Space, or portions thereof, to third parties. 16. On or before October 31, 2000, Tenant shall vacate the 4th through 6th floors of the Building in accordance with Section 13 of the Lease and all other applicable provisions of the Lease. 17.
