All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.

as a result of such reduction shall be paid to Tenant within twenty (20) days
after receipt by Landlord, unless Tenant advises Landlord within fifteen (15)
days after receipt by Landlord of such refund to include an adjustment for the
succeeding Tax Year to reflect such decrease in Taxes. Landlord may deduct from
such refund all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred
by Landlord in connection with the application or proceeding to reduce the
Taxes. Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant, Tenant's Proportionate Share of
any refunds in Taxes received after the Expiration Date of this Lease.
                                                               . .
          (d)  Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay throughout the term of
this Lease, all license and excise fees and occupation taxes covering the
business conducted on the Premises and all personal property taxes levied with
respect to all personal property located at the Premises. If any governmental
authority levies a tax or license fee on rents payable under this Lease or rents
accruing from use of the Premises or a tax or license fee in any form against
Landlord or Tenant because of or measured by or based upon income derived from
the leasing or rental thereof (other than a net income tax on Landlord's
income), or a transaction privilege tax, such tax or license fee shall be paid
by Tenant, either directly if required by law, or by reimbursing Landlord for
the amount thereof within twenty (20) days of demand.

     12.  Payment of Operating Expenses and Taxes Escalation.
          --------------------------------------------------

          (a)  At least thirty (30) days prior to each Expense Year after
calendar 2000, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord's estimate of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for the Expense Year and
of the Taxes for the Tax Year. Commencing on the first day of each Expense Year,
and on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent one-twelfth
(1/12th) of Tenant's estimated Proportionate Share concurrently with the monthly
Rent payment.

          (b)  Within ninety (90) days after the close of each Expense Year,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement ("Landlord's Statement") showing in
reasonable detail the (i) actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for the previous
year broken down by component expenses; (ii) the amount paid by Tenant during
the Expense Year towards the Operating Expenses and the amount paid by Tenant
during the Tax Year towards the Taxes; and (iii) the amount Tenant owes to
Landlord or the amount of the refund Landlord owes to Tenant. Any amount due
from Landlord to Tenant under this paragraph 12(b) shall be enclosed with
Landlord's Statement, unless Tenant is then in default hereunder. Any such
amount due from Tenant to Landlord shall be paid within twenty (20) days after
receipt of Landlord's Statement.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

               (c)  Tenant shall have the right once each year within six (6)
months after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Statement for the prior Expense/Tax
Year to audit Landlord's records with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes
for such prior year at the location where such records are kept. Tenant shall
give Landlord ten (10) business days prior written notice of the required audit
date. The audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant on a
non-contingent fee basis, and Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy
of such audit. If such audit reflects a variance from Landlord's Statement which
is not disputed by Landlord, the parties shall make any payment adjustments
within twenty (20) business days thereafter. If the audit discloses an
overpayment by Tenant of Operating Expenses and Taxes for such year which
exceeds five percent (5%) of the total thereof which is not disputed by
Landlord, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket
costs of such audit, but not in excess of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000), within
twenty (20) days after its receipt of an invoice and accounting thereof. Tenant
shall maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed through such
audit, except where disclosure is required by applicable law.

          13.  Insurance.
               ---------

               (a)  Tenant shall, at its own expense, maintain comprehensive or
commercial general liability insurance (CGL) IS01988 or later in minimum limits
of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence for property damage or loss
and minimum limits of $Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence for
personal injuries and death, to indemnify Landlord, Tenant and any lender
designated by Landlord ("Lender") against claims, demands, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses. Landlord and Lender shall be named as additional
insureds on insurance coverage providing such minimum limits and shall be
furnished with an ACORD 27 Certificate or its equivalent which reflects that
such coverage shall not be canceled nor materially reduced in coverage or limits
without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender. During the
Lease Term, Tenant shall also maintain at its own expense insurance covering its
furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory and all improvements which it makes
to the Premises in an amount equal to the full insurable value thereof, against
fire and such other perils as are covered by an all risk policy with plate glass
endorsement, including all glass on the Premises. All insurance required under
this Lease shall (a) be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business
in the State of Washington and having a financial rating of at least A Class X
status, as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports, or with
companies otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (b) be issued as a
primary policy, or under the blanket policy, not contributing with and not in
excess of coverage which Landlord may carry; (c) in the case of the liability
policy, contain a contractual liability coverage endorsement covering Tenant's
indemnification duty; and (d) with commercially reasonable deductibles. If
Tenant fails to maintain required insurance, Landlord may do so immediately and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the full1 expense thereof within five (5)
days after demand therefor.

               (b)  Tenant shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or
upon the Premises any article which is prohibited by Landlords insurance policy,
provided Tenant is first made aware in writing of such restriction. Tenant shall
pay immediately any increase in Landlord's premiums for insurance during the
term of this Lease which results from other than the permitted use of the
Premises or from the type of merchandise which Tenant stores or sells on the
Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented thereto. In determining whether
increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule,
issued by the organization establishing the insurance rate on the Premises
showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the
several items and charges which make up the insurance rate on the Premises.

               (c)  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other
party or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring
the other party for any loss or damage to any building, structure or tangible
personal property of the other occurring in or about the Premises, even though
such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party,
its agents or employees, if such loss or damage is covered by insurance
benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage or was required to be covered
by insurance or permitted to be self-insured under terms of this Lease. Each
party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to contain the waiver of
subrogation clause.

               (d)  Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, during the Term,
with solvent and responsible companies, tire insurance, with standard "all risk"
coverage for the Property.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, during the Term, with solvent and
responsible companies, comprehensive general liability insurance covering
injuries occurring on the Property, which shall provide for a combined coverage
for bodily injury and property damage in an amount not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000).

               (e)  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other
party or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring
the other party for any loss or damage to any building, structure or tangible
personal property of the other occurring in or about the Premises, even though
such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party,
its agents or employees, if such loss or damage is covered by insurance
benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage or was required to be covered
by insurance under terms of this Lease. Each party shall cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to contain the waiver of subrogation clause.

          14.  Indemnity. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to any
               ---------
person, or for any loss of or damage to any property (including property of
Tenant) occurring in or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except for
personal injuries attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, its agents, invitees, employees and contractors, to the extent of
their negligence. Subject to paragraph 13(e) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and
save Landlord, its officers, agents, employees and contractors, and other
tenants and occupants of the Property harmless from all losses, damages, fines,
penalties, liabilities and expenses (including Landlord's personnel and overhead
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs incurred in
connection with such claims, regardless of whether claims involve litigation)
resulting from any actual or alleged injury to any person or from any actual or
alleged loss of or damage to any property alleged to be attributable to Tenant's
operation or occupation of the Premises or caused by or resulting from any act
or omission of Tenant or any licensee, assignee, or concessionaire, or of any
officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of any such person in or about the
Premises, including, but not limited to, the deposit or release of hazardous or
toxic materials or substances or Tenant's breach of its obligations hereunder.
Tenant agrees that the foregoing indemnity specifically covers actions brought
by its own employees. The indemnification provided for in this paragraph with
respect to acts or omissions during the term of this Lease shall survive
termination or expiration of this Lease. Except as otherwise specified herein to
the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable for interference with light, air or
view or for any latent defect in the Premises. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of casualties or accidents occurring in or about the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing if losses, liabilities, damages, liens, costs and
expenses so arising are caused by the concurrent negligence of both Landlord and
Tenant, their employees, agents, invitees and licensees, a party shall indemnify
the other party to the extent of the first party's own negligence or that of its
officers, agents, employees, guests or invitees. The foregoing indemnity is
specifically and expressly intended to constitute a waiver of Tenant's immunity
under Washington's Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent
necessary to provide the other with a full and complete indemnity from claims
made by the first party and its employees, to the extent of their negligence.
LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF THIS
PARAGRAPH 14 WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM.

          15.  Services and Utilities.
               ----------------------

               (a)  Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency for all electricity,
telephone and any other utilities which are separately metered or submetered to
the Premises and, as part of its share of paragraph 10(a)(iv) Operating
Expenses, for all other utilities which are not separately metered or
submetered. Landlord shall select and control the utility service provider to
the Building and shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
change electrical service provider. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to
allow the electrical service provider access to electrical lines and equipment
within the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage
to person or property caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption,
or failure of utilities or services due to any cause whatsoever, or from its
failure to make any repairs or perform any maintenance. No temporary
interruption or failure of services or utilities incident to the making of
repairs, alterations or improvements, or due to accident, strike or conditions
or other events beyond Landlord's reasonable control shall be deemed an eviction
of Tenant or to relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to
give Tenant a right of action against Landlord for damages, except that if
utilities to the Premises are interrupted for a period

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

in excess of three (3) consecutive business days due solely to Landlord's
negligence the Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated thereafter in proportion
to the interruption until utility service is restored.

               (b)  Landlord shall furnish the Premises with electricity for
office use, including lighting and low power usage (110 volt) office machines,
water and elevator services. Landlord shall also provide routine refuse removal
service on weekdays, other than holidays. From 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
weekdays, excluding legal holidays ("Normal Business Hours"), Landlord shall
furnish the Premises with heat and air conditioning services. If requested by
Tenant, Landlord shall furnish heat and air conditioning services at times other
than Normal Business Hours, and Tenant shall pay for the cost of such services
at rates reasonably established by Landlord as Additional Rent.

               (c)  If Tenant requires garbage and refuse removal of a
different kind or a more intense level than Landlord customarily provides for
offices in the Building, or if Tenant's garbage or refuse involves other
materials requiring special handling, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord, as
Additional Rent, for the additional costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
providing such services and shall comply, at its sole cost and expense, with
procedures established for such by Landlord.

               (d)  Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent before
installing lights and equipment in the Premises which in the aggregate exceed
Building Standards. Landlord may refuse to grant such consent unless Tenant
agrees to pay (1) the costs incurred by Landlord for installation of
supplementary air conditioning capacity or electrical systems as necessitated by
such equipment or lights, and (2) in advance, on the first day of each month
during the Term, the amount estimated by Landlord as the excess cost of
furnishing electricity for the operation of such equipment or lights above
normal Building office levels and the amount estimated by Landlord as the cost
of operation and maintenance of supplementary air conditioning units as
necessitated by Tenant's use of such equipment or lights. Landlord shall be
entitled to install, operate and maintain at Tenant sole cost a
monitoring/metering system in the Premises to measure the added demands on
electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, resulting from
such equipment and lights and from Tenant's after-hours requirements, and Tenant
shall pay Landlord the cost thereof each mon& within ten (10) days of its
receipt of an invoice therefor.

          16.  Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
               -----------
improvements in or to the Premises without first submitting to Landlord
professionally prepared plans and specifications for such work and obtaining
Landlord's prior written approval thereof which shall not be unreasonably
withheld for interior work which does not affect the Building structure or
systems. Tenant covenants that it will cause all such alterations, additions and
improvements to be performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense by a contractor
approved by Landlord and in a manner which: (a) is consistent with the Landlord
approved plans and specifications and any conditions imposed by Landlord in
connection therewith; (b) is in conformity with commercial standards; (c)
includes acceptable insurance coverage for Landlord's benefit; (d) does not
affect the structural integrity of the Building; (e) does not disrupt the
business or operations of adjoining tenants; and (f) does not invalidate or
otherwise affect the construction and systems warranties then in effect with
respect to the Building. Tenant shall secure all governmental permits and
approvals, as well as comply with all other applicable governmental requirements
and restrictions. Landlord's consent is not required for interior, non-
structural improvements to the Premises where the aggregate cost is less than
$5,000 and the work does not affect the Building systems or structures. Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all losses,
liabilities, damages, liens, costs, penalties and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees, but without waiver of the duty to hold harmless) arising from
or out of the performance of such alterations, additions and improvements,
including, but not limited to, all which arise from or out of Tenant's breach of
its obligations under terms of this paragraph 16. All alterations, additions and
improvements (expressly including all light fixtures, heating, ventilation and
air conditioning units and floor coverings), except furniture, trade fixtures
and appliances and equipment not affixed to the Premises, shall immediately
become the property of Landlord without any obligation on its part to pay
therefor. Tenant shall not remove such improvements on the termination of this
Lease unless otherwise directed by Landlord. If requested by Tenant before it
commences alterations, additions or improvements, Landlord will

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

advise within five (5) business days of Tenant's request Tenant whether such
work will have to be removed, and the Premises restored, at the end of the Lease
term or its earlier expiration.

          17.  Assignment and Sublease.
               -----------------------

               (a)  Tenant may, with the prior written consent of the Landlord
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign this Lease or sublet
the whole or any part of the Premises. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to
respond to Tenant within ten (10) business days after its receipt of the
request, if its is provided, together with the identity of the proposed
transferee and financial and operating history for the proposed transferee and a
copy of the transfer document. It shall be reasonable, among other reasons; for
Landlord to withhold its consent if (i) Tenant is in default under this Lease;
(ii) the assignee will not assume all of the obligations of this Lease, or the
sublessee does not agree to be subject to all the terms and conditions of, this
Lease, except those specific to the sublease, e.g., term, rent, improvements;
(iii) the proposed transferee will use the Premises other than wholly for
general office purposes; (iv) Tenant has failed to furnish Landlord with the
information specified above; (v) the proposed transferee will cause Landlord to
be in violation of any agreement with respect to the Property; and (vi) the
transferee's financial condition and operating history are not reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from
primary liability on this Lease. In lieu of giving its consent to an assignee or
sublessee, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, within 15 day notice. The
consent of the Landlord need not be obtained if the sublease is to an affiliate;
provided that Landlord is given prior written notice thereof and provided with
evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in place. Failure to first
obtain in writing Landlord's written consent or to comply with the provisions of
this paragraph 17(a) shall operate to prevent any such assignment, sublease or
transfer from becoming effective. If Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the
Premises, then all consideration received by Tenant in whatever form and at
whatever time for such assignment or sublease (in excess of amounts payable by
Tenant as minimum rent, in the case of a sublease) shall belong to and be paid
over to Landlord, as and when received by Tenant, to the extent such exceed the
normal and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such
assignment or sublease. Tenant shall also pay all reasonable legal fees and
other costs - incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's consideration
of Tenant's request for approval of assignments or subleases.


               (b)  If Landlord sells or otherwise transfers the Building or a
portion thereof containing the Premises, or if Landlord assigns its interest in
this Lease, and such purchaser, transferee or assignee assumes in writing
Landlord's obligations hereunder arising thereafter, and Landlord shall
thereupon be relieved of all future liabilities hereunder, but his Lease shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect.

          18.  Casualty and Condemnation
               -------------------------

               (a)  If the Premises shall be so damaged by fire, other casualty,
acts of God or the elements (a "Casualty"), or partially or wholly taken by
condemnation or threat thereof (a "Taking"), so that they cannot be restored
within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Casualty or Taking
("Substantial Damage"), or if there is any material Casualty or Taking during
the last year of the Term, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the Casualty or
Taking. In such case, the Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the
Casualty or Taking and the rent shall abate from that date, and any rent paid
beyond such date shall be refunded to Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated as
provided above, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore the
Premises as speedily as practical to the condition existing prior to the
Casualty or the Taking, unless the Casualty was an uninsured Casualty or
Landlord's Lender refuses to make insurance proceeds available for the
restoration, in which event Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease
in the same manner and within the same timeframes as provided in the two (2)
preceding sentences. During the restoration period, the rent shall abate for the
period during which the Premises are not suitable for Tenant's business needs.
If Landlord does not restore the Premises within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the date of the Casualty or Taking, as such date may be extended for
Tenant Delays or force majeure events, Tenant may terminate this Lease without
incurring any liability to Landlord, provided Tenant gives Landlord written
notice not less than twenty (20) days after the end of such period and Landlord
does not complete the restoration within ten (10) days after the date of such
notice.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          (b)  In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for destruction or
damage to any of Tenant's property including fixtures, equipment or other
improvements, unless the terms of paragraph 13(c) are inapplicable to such
damage.

          (c)  Landlord reserves all right to the entire damage award or payment
for any taking by eminent domain or a transfer in lieu thereof, and Tenant
waives all claim whatsoever against Landlord for damages for termination of its
leasehold interest in the Premises or for interference with its business. Tenant
hereby grants and assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may now have or hereafter
acquire to such damages and agrees to execute and deliver such further
instruments of assignment as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant
shall, however, have the right to receive from the condemning authority the
amount offered by the condemning authority in its final offer for Tenant's
moving costs or for the personal property of Tenant which has been taken.

     19.  Subordination and Non-Disturbance; Estoppel. Unless otherwise
          -------------------------------------------
designated by Landlord, this Lease shall be subordinate to all future mortgages
and deeds of trust on the Property, and to any extensions, renewals or
replacements thereof. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the
date of this Lease there are no deeds of trust, mortgages or security interests
in effect with respect to the Building or Land. As a condition to the foregoing,
Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant from any future mortgagee or trustee a
written, commercially reasonable subordination and non-disturbance agreement in
recordable form acceptable to the lender providing that so long as Tenant
performs all of the terms of this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises
under this Lease shall not be disturbed and shall remain in full force and
effect for the term, and Tenant shall not be joined by the holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust in any action or proceeding to foreclose thereunder,
except where such is necessary for jurisdictional reasons. Landlord represents
and warrants that, as of the date hereof, there is no interest superior to this
Lease. Within ten (10) business days of Landlord's request therefor, Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver to third parties designated by Landlord an
estoppel certificate or letter in the form requested by Landlord or its lender
that correctly recites the facts with respect to the existence, terms and status
of this Lease.

     20.  Landlord's Right of Entry. Landlord has the right to enter the
          -------------------------
Premises at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice to Tenant, or without
notice in case of emergency, for the purpose of performing maintenance, repairs,
and replacements to the Premises as are permitted under this Lease. During
Business Hours and upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord may, during the
Term, show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees, and, during
the six (6) months prior to expiration of the Term or when Tenant is in default
hereunder, to prospective tenants. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not
interfere with or disrupt the normal operation of Tenant's business. Landlord,
and any third parties entering the Premises at Landlord's invitation or request
shall at all times strictly observe Tenant's reasonable rules relating to
security on the Premises. Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion,
to designate a representative to accompany Landlord, or any third parties, while
they are on the Premises.

     21.  Signs. Landlord shall place the Tenant's name and location on the
          -----
bulletin board or directory in the Building, and afford Tenant, without charge,
the placing of the customary number of names in the Building directory. Landlord
shall also install Tenant's name, using Landlord's building standard signage, at
the entry to the Premises on monument at Landlord's expense. All other Tenant
signage shall be subject to Landlord's prior review and approval.

     22.  Common Areas and Access.
          -----------------------

          (a)  Landlord shall at all times have the exclusive control and
management of all parking areas, access roads, driveways, entrances, retaining
walls, exits, truck ways, loading docks, package pickup stations, washrooms,
signs, shelters, air quality monitoring stations, surface and storm water
holding treatment sites or facilities, drainage facilities, landscaped areas,
exterior stairways, elevators, escalators and other areas, improvements,
facilities and special services provided by Landlord for the general use, in
common, of tenants of the Property, and their officers, agents, employees and
customers, including off-site facilities, if any, required by governmental
bodies as a condition of developing the Property ("common areas and
facilities"). To Landlord's actual present knowledge the common areas and
facilities are not in violation of Legal

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

Requirements. Tenant shall have the right to use common areas and facilities in
common with other tenants of the Building and others authorized to use the same.
With respect to the common areas and facilities, Landlord shall have the right
from time to time to employ personnel; to establish, modify and enforce
reasonable rules and regulations, a copy of which current rules and regulations
is attached hereto as Exhibit D; to construct, maintain and operate lighting
                      ---------
facilities; to police the common areas and facilities; from time to time to
change the area, level, location and arrangement of common areas and facilities;
to restrict parking by Tenant, its officers, agents and employees so that it is
not on a disproportionate basis relative to rentable area; to temporarily close
all or any portion of the common areas and facilities to such extent as may, in
the opinion of Landlord's counsel, be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication
thereof or the accrual of any rights to any person or the public therein; to
temporarily close for maintenance or repair purposes all or any portion of the
parking areas or facilities, but if such closure is extensive, Landlord shall
provide alternative interim parking; to discourage noncustomer parking; and to
do and perform such other acts in and to the common areas and facilities as,
using good business judgment, Landlord deems to be reasonably advisable with a
view to the improvement of the convenience and use thereof by tenants of the
Building, their employees, invitees and customers, so long as Tenant's use of
the common areas and facilities is not materially and adversely impaired as a
result thereof. Tenant agrees to comply with all common area rules and
regulations established by Landlord. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to
enforce rules and regulations in a non-discriminatory fashion. If there is a
conflict between rules and regulations and the express provisions of this Lease,
this Lease shall control.

          (b)  Tenant shall be permitted to use up to three (3) parking spaces
on the Property per one thousand (1,000) square feet of rentable area in the
Premises on a non-reserved basis, without additional charge. All common areas
and facilities which Tenant is permitted to use and occupy are used and occupied
under a revocable license. If the amount of such areas or facilities be
diminished, and the amount of such diminution, including any reduction of total
parking area on the Property which does not result in such falling below that
required by applicable law, is not material, then such diminution shall not be
deemed constructive or actual eviction, and Landlord shall not be subject to any
liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or reduction or
abatement of rent.

     23.  Securitv Deposit. As partial consideration for the execution of this
          ----------------
Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of Three Hundred Twenty Seven
Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Nine and 78/100 Dollars ($327,849.78). Landlord
shall credit $42,010.50 thereof to the payment of the Fixed Rent due for the
first month of the Base Term, if Tenant is not then in default hereunder, and
shall credit an amount equal to the Fixed Rent due for the thirty seventh, forty
ninth, sixty first and seventy third months of the Primary Term to the Fixed
Rent due for such months if Tenant is not then in default hereunder. Landlord
shall pay Tenant the balance thereof, without interest, within thirty (30) days
after the expiration or prior termination of the Lease term, or any extension
thereof, if and only if Tenant has fully performed all of its obligations under
the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to withdraw from the deposit
the amount of any unpaid Rent or Additional Rent not paid by Tenant when due
under this Lease, and Tenant shall immediately deposit an amount equal to that
so withdrawn.

     24.  Tenant's Defaults.
          -----------------

          (a)  Time is of the essence hereof and if Tenant violates or breaches
or fails to keep or perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease, and
if such default or violation continues for or is not remedied within ten (10)
days (or, if no default in Rent is involved, within thirty (30) days) after
notice in writing thereof given by Landlord to Tenant specifying the matter
claimed to be in default, or if the default is of such nature that it cannot be
cured within thirty (30) days so long as Tenant commences such cure within said
thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion for a
period not to exceed ninety (90) days, then Landlord shall have the following
rights and remedies, at its option which shall not be exclusive, but shall be
cumulative and in addition and supplemental to any and all other rights and/or
remedies that Landlord may have at law or if equity: (a) to declare the term
hereof ended and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove
all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or
hereunder; or (b) without declaring this Lease terminated, to reenter the
Premises and occupy the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant
and to collect any unpaid Rent and other charges, which have become payable, or
which may thereafter become

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

payable; or (c) even though it may have reentered the Premises, to thereafter
elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the
Premises.

     If Landlord reenters the Premises under option (b) above, Landlord shall
not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay
any Rent thereafter accruing, or to have terminated Tenant's liability for
damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any such reentry or by any
action, in unlawful detainer or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises,
unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to
terminate this Lease, and Tenant further covenants that the service by Landlord
of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes and the surrender of
possession pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the
contrary at the time of or at any time subsequent to the serving of such notices
and such election is evidenced by written notice to Tenant) be deemed to be a
termination of this Lease. In the event of any entry or taking possession of the
Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove
therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein, if Tenant
has not already done so, and may place the same in storage at a public warehouse
at the expense and risk of Tenant.

     If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
options (a) or (c) above, Landlord may recover from Tenant as damages, the
following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been
earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award
of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the
time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves
could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all losses, liabilities or damages caused by Tenant's failure to
perform its obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited, any costs
or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises,
including reasonable attorneys' fees therefor, (b) maintaining or preserving the
Premises after such default, (c) restoring the Premises to the condition in
which they were to be returned by Tenant hereunder, (d) unamortized leasing
commissions, and (e) any other non-capital costs reasonably necessary to relet
the Premises.

     As used in items (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate specified in paragraph 3(c)
hereof. As used in item (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is
computed by using a discount rate of four percent (4%).

     For all purposes of paragraph 24(a), all Rent, other than Final Rent,
shall, for the purpose of calculating any amount due under the provisions of
subparagraph (iii) above, be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount
thereof accruing during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period,
except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before such a twelve
(12) month period has occurred then such Rent shall be computed on the basis of
the average monthly amount hereof accruing during such shorter period.

          (b)  Landlord's remedies hereunder are cumulative, and Landlord's
exercise of any right or remedy due to a default or breach by Tenant shall not
be deemed a waiver of, or alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy
which Landlord may have under this Lease or by law. Neither the acceptance of
rent nor any other acts or omissions of Landlord at any time or times after the
happening of any event authorizing the cancellation or forfeiture of this Lease
shall operate as a waiver of any past or future violation, breach or failure to
keep or perform any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or to deprive
Landlord of its right to cancel or forfeit this Lease, upon the written notice
provided for herein, at any time that cause for cancellation or forfeiture may
exist, or be construed so as at any future time to estop Landlord from promptly
exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may have under any term or
provision of this Lease.

     25.  Landlord's Default; Rights and Remedies. The occurrence of the
          ---------------------------------------
following constitutes an "Event of Default" by Landlord under this Lease: the
failure by Landlord to observe or perform any covenant, agreement, condition or
provision of this Lease, if such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days
after receipt by Landlord and, if Tenant is advised of the name and address
thereof, any secured lender to Landlord with respect to the Building of written
notice from Tenant, except that if such default cannot be cured within such
thirty (30) day period, it shall not be considered an Event of Default if
Landlord commences to cure the default within the

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to seek to effect such
cure. If an Event of Default by Landlord occurs, Tenant shall have all rights
and remedies available at law or in equity, subject to the rights of any secured
lender with respect to the Property.

     26.  Holding Over. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the
          ------------
parties prior to such holding over, any holding over by Tenant after the
expiration of the term hereof, with Landlord's prior written consent, shall be
construed as a tenancy from month-to-month on the terms and conditions set forth
herein, except for Fixed Rent which shall be increased to one and one-half (1
1/2) times that in effect during the last month hereof, which tenancy may be
terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other
party, effective as of the last day of a calendar month. If Tenant holds over
without Landlord's consent, it shall be a tenancy at will, terminable at any
time immediately upon notice from Landlord at three (3) times the prior Fixed
Rent level thereafter. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises after Landlord's
written demand in the case of a tenancy at will, it shall be liable for damages
suffered by Landlord as a consequence of such holding over thereafter.

     27.  Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that if and for so long as Tenant
          ---------------
pays the rent and performs the covenants and conditions hereof, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term free from
claims arising by, through or under Landlord.

     28.  Representation of Authority. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant
          ---------------------------
to each other that they have full right, power and authority to enter into this
Lease without the consent or approval of any other entity or person. The
signatories on behalf of Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that each has
full right, power and authority to act for and on behalf of Landlord and Tenant
in entering into this Lease.

     29.  Liability of Landlord. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's interest
          ---------------------
in the Property, and the rents, issues and profits from the Property for the
satisfaction of any judgment or decree against Landlord, whether for breach of
the terms hereof or arising from a right created by statute or under common law.
Tenant agrees that no other property or assets of the Landlord or any partner in
Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for
satisfaction of any such judgment or decree; and no partner, shareholder or
other holder of an ownership interest in Landlord shall be sued or named as a
party in any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction
over the partnership).

     30.  Brokers.
          -------

          (A)  Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt directly with and only
with Broderick Group, Inc. (the "Listed Broker") (whose commission shall be paid
by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement), in connection with this Lease and
agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs of defense) arising from Tenant's breach of this
representation.

          (b)  Except for Tenant's breach of paragraph 30(a), Landlord hereby
agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Tenant against all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs of defense) arising from the claims or demands
of the Listed Broker and any other brokers or finders with whom Landlord has
dealt for any commission alleged to be due any such brokers or finders in
connection with this Lease or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     31.  Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party institutes legal
          ---------------
proceedings against the other for breach of or interpretation of any of the
terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease, the party against whom a judgment
is entered shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses relative thereto,
including reasonable attorneys' fees of the prevailing party.

     32. Options to Renew.
         ----------------

         (a)  If Zetron, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "Zetron") does not
require the use of the Premises for its own purposes at the end of the Primary
or Renewal Term, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for two (2)
additional term of three (3) years each (each a "Renewal Term") by giving
Landlord written notice thereof at least nine (9) months prior to the

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

expiration date of the Primary Term or the Renewal Term, as applicable. Landlord
shall promptly advise Tenant prior to the end of the Primary or Renewal Term
whether or not Zetron requires such use. Tenant may not exercise this option if
it is then in default hereunder or has previously been in default beyond the
applicable cure period.

         (b)  If Tenant exercises a renewal option, the Fixed Rent for the
Renewal Term shall be equal to the fair market rate(s) for a three (3) year term
for comparable office space in the greater Bellevue-Redmond area on terms and
conditions comparable to those contained in this Lease (collectively "Fair
Market Rent"), but in no event less than the Fixed Rent payable during the last
month of the Primary Term or Renewal Term then in effect. Landlord shall advise
Tenant in writing of Landlord's calculation of Fair Market Rent not less than
eight (8) months prior to the end of the Primary Term or Renewal Term in effect.
If Tenant disagrees with such calculation, it shall advise Landlord in writing
thereof within twenty (20) days thereafter. If there is a disagreement on such
calculation, the parties shall promptly meet to attempt to resolve their
differences. If these differences as to Fair Market Rent are not resolved within
a two (2) month period, then the parties shall submit the matter to arbitration
in accordance with the terms of paragraph 32(c) so that Fair Market Rent is
determined no later than two (2) months prior to the end of the Primary Term or
Renewal Term then in effect.

         (c)  If the parties are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Rent
during the period specified in paragraph 32(b), then within ten (10) days
thereafter either party may advise the other in writing of the name and address
of its arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be a commercial real estate broker or
appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience with commercial rental
rates in the greater Bellevue-Redmond area. Within ten (10) business days after
receipt of such notice from the initiating party (the "Instigator") designating
its arbitrator, the other party (the "Recipient") shall give notice to
Instigator, specifying the name and address of the person designated by
Recipient to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified.
If Recipient fails to notify Instigator of the appointment of its arbitrator,
within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed by
Instigator shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue. The duty of the
arbitrator(s) shall be to determined the Fair Market Rent. If the two (2)
arbitrators are so chosen the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10)
business days after the second arbitrator is appointed and, if within ten (10)
business days after such first meeting the two arbitrators shall be unable to
agree promptly upon a determination of Fair Market Rent, they, themselves, shall
appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with
qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators. If they
are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) business days after
expiration of said ten (10) day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected
by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a further period of
ten (10) business days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on
behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then
presiding judge of King County Superior Court acting in his or her private non-
judicial capacity, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such
Judge's full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make
the appointment, and the parties agree to indemnify and hold the presiding judge
fully and completely harmless from and against all claims arising out of the
presiding judge's appointment of an arbitrator. The three (3) arbitrators shall
decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the
procedure set forth in this Section. Where the issue cannot be resolved by
agreement between the two arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant or
settlement between the parties during the course of arbitration, the issue shall
be resolved by the three arbitrators in accordance with the following procedure.
The arbitrators selected by each of the parties shall state in writing his or
her determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with
counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a
simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third
arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most closely
approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Rent. The third arbitrator
shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of
the two proposed resolutions. The resolution he or she chooses as most closely
approximating his or her determination shall constitute the decision of the
arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.

              (i) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any
arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him, but in
the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the
same manner as provided for appointment of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators
shall attempt to decide the issue within ten (10) business days after the
appointment of the third arbitrator. Any decision in which the arbitrator
appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties.
Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both
shall share equally the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator, if any, and
the attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of
witnesses shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling
such witnesses.

                    (ii)    The arbitrators shall have the right to consult
experts and competent authorities with factual information or evidence
pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rent, but any such consultation
shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to
cross-examine. The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing
with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall have no power to
modify the provisions of this Lease.

         33.   Notices. Any notice by either party to the other shall be in
               -------

this Lease, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in the same condition
in which received (or, if altered, then the Premises shall be returned in such

obligation to perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Lease.

         35.   Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement
               ----------------
between the parties, there being no other terms, oral or written, except as
herein expressed. No modification

by both parties hereto.

         36. Liens and Encumbrances. Tenant shall keep the Premises and Property
             ----------------------
