               warehouse and distribution business on the Premises, or may lease
               the Reserved Space to any third party; provided however that

               month, that month shall be the first month of the lease term. If
               the Commencement Date occurs on any other day, the first month of
               the lease term shall be the following calendar month.

                    Adjustment Date as to amount of the upcoming base rental

                                    (1) Either Landlord or Tenant may appoint an
                                    appraiser to provide a written opinion (with
                                    supporting information) as to the Market
                                    Rent for the Premises as of the upcoming
                                    Base Rental Adjustment Date. The party
                                    appointing the appraiser shall notify the
                                    other party of such appointment within three
                                    business days of such appointment. The other
                                    party may then appoint a second appraiser to
                                    provide a written opinion (with supporting
                                    information) as to the Market Rent for the
                                    Premises as of the upcoming Base Rental
                                    Adjustment Date. Each appraiser appointed
                                    shall be a professional real estate
                                    appraiser active during the ten-year period
                                    immediately prior to his or her appointment
                                    in the appraisal of industrial and warehouse
                                    properties in the greater Seattle area.

                                    (2) The two appraisers so appointed shall
                                    within 30 days of the date of the
                                    appointment of the last appointed appraiser
                                    agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who
                                    shall be qualified under the same criteria
                                    set forth hereinabove to qualify the initial
                                    two appraisers.

                                    (3) The three appraisers shall within sixty
                                    days of the appointment of the third
                                    appraiser give a written opinion (with
                                    supporting information) as to the Market
                                    Rent for the Premises, using the criteria
                                    set forth above, and notify Landlord and
                                    Tenant thereof.

                                    (4) If any two of the three appraisers agree
                                    as to the Market Rent for the Premises, then
                                    their opinion shall be binding upon Landlord
                                    and Tenant. If no two of the three
                                    appraisers agree as to the Market Rent for
                                    the Premises, then the base rent shall be
                                    adjusted to an amount which is the average
                                    of the opinions of the three appraisers,
                                    ignoring for the purpose of such averaging
                                    any portion of the high and low opinions
                                    which is more than 10 percent in excess of
                                    or less than the middle opinion. If either
                                    Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an
                                    appraiser within the time period set forth
                                    above, the appraiser appointed by the other
                                    shall give his or her opinion of the Market
                                    Rent for the Premises, shall notify Landlord
                                    and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser's
                                    opinion shall be binding upon Landlord and
                                    Tenant. If the two appraisers appointed by
                                    Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and
                                    appoint a third appraiser, both appraisers
                                    shall be dismissed and the matter shall be
                                    forthwith submitted to binding arbitration
                                    with the American Arbitration Association
                                    pursuant to such rules and procedures as
                                    have then been promulgated by the American
                                    Arbitration Association.

                                    (5) If it using these procedures the Market
                                    Rent for the Premises has not been
                                    determined by the next upcoming Base Rental
                                    Adjustment Date, then Tenant shall continue
                                    to pay the base rent to Landlord at the
                                    previous rate, and after the Market Rent is
                                    determined Tenant shall pay to Landlord
                                    within 15 days the difference between the
                                    base rent actually paid from the Base Rental
                                    Adjustment Date to the date that the Market
                                    Rent is determined, together with interest
                                    thereon at the rate of 12 percent per annum.

                                    (6) Each party shall pay the cost of the
                                    appraiser appointed by its, and the cost of
                                    the third appraiser and of the arbitration
                                    if any shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant
                                    equally.

                           g.   Right to Lease Reserved Space. If Landlord
                           elects to lease or rent the Reserved Space to any

                           Landlord shall first offer in writing to add the
                           Reserved Space to this Lease. Tenant shall then have
                           fifteen (15) days to notify Landlord in writing
                           whether Tenant wishes to accept the offer to add the
                           Reserved Space to this Lease. If Tenant accepts
                           Landlord's offer to add the Reserved Space to this
                           Lease, then within fifteen (15) days following
                           Tenant's written notice to Landlord accepting

                           to the Premises, increasing the base rent by ten
                           percent (10%), and , increasing Tenant's share of

                            (100%). The amendment to this Lease shall be
                            effective from and after the later of the date that
                            Landlord vacates the Reserved Space or the date that
                            the parties sign the Lease amendment. All other
                            provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force
                            and effect after the Reserved Space is added to this
                            Lease. In the event that Tenant does not accept
                            Landlord's offer to add the Reserved Space to this
                            Lease within fifteen days (15) of Landlord's offer
                            to Tenant, then Landlord shall be free to lease or
                            rent the Reserved Space at any time to any party
                            without first offering the Reserved Space to Tenant.

                            leases from Landlord the Premises upon the terms
                            specified in this Lease.

                        3.  CONSTRUCTION AND COMMENCEMENT.

                            a.  Construction of Building. Within ten (10) days
                            after mutual execution hereof, Landlord will provide
                            Tenant with a preliminary construction schedule and
                            a preliminary delivery date for the Premises.
                            Landlord shall construct the Building at Landlord's
                            expense, pursuant to a construction contract with a
                            general contractor of Landlord's choosing. The
                            completed Building shall be constructed
                            substantially in accordance with those certain plans
                            prepared by Rupert Engineering Inc. which are more
                            specifically described on the attached Exhibit F,
                            and those certain specifications prepared by Rupert
                            Engineering Inc. and dated November, 1999, which
                            plans and specifications have been delivered to
                            Tenant and reviewed and approved by Tenant. The
                            completed Building shall comply with the
                            specifications set forth on Exhibit C hereto
                            ("Tenant's Required Specifications"). The office
                            portion of the completed Building shall be
                            constructed substantially in accordance with those
                            certain plans and specifications attached as Exhibit
                            E hereto. Landlord shall be entitled to make or
                            approve revisions in the plans and specifications
                            which are not inconsistent with Tenant's Required
                            Specifications and do not materially affect the size
                            of the Premises or Tenant's ability to use the
                            Premises in accordance with Tenant's intended use.
                            The completed Building shall include installation by
                            Landlord of an overhead ESFR fire sprinkler system
                            ("Landlord's Sprinkler System"). After Tenant takes
                            occupancy of the Premises, Tenant may elect at
                            Tenant's expense to make additions or alterations

                            to Landlord's Sprinkler System to comply with
                            Tenant's insurance and fire safety requirements,
                            which additions and alterations may include
                            converting Landlord's Sprinkler System into an in-
                            rack sprinkler system ("Tenant's Sprinkler System").
                            In the event that Tenant believes that the Premises
                            or Building do not comply with the terms of this
                            Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing,
                            within 120 days of the issuance of the Certificate
                            of Occupancy for the Building. This notice shall
                            specify all claimed deficiencies of the Premises or
                            Building. If no such notice is given, Tenant shall
                            be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Premises
                            and Building and shall waive any claim that the
                            Premises or Building were not constructed to the
                            plans and specifications required by this Lease.

                            b.  Tenant Improvement Allowances. The following
                            allowances shall be paid for by Landlord for
                            Tenant's desired improvements:

                                (i)  Up to $1200 of the cost of preparation of
                                the preliminary space plan for Tenant's office
                                space, which is attached as Exhibit D hereto,
                                and which has been approved by both Landlord and
                                Tenant.

                                (ii) As part of the construction cost of the
                                Building Landlord shall pay to Tenant $21,600.00
                                for carpet materials to be installed in the
                                Premises. The carpet materials provided by
                                Tenant in return for the said payment by
                                Landlord to Tenant shall be installed by
                                Landlord as part of the tenant improvements and
                                shall be 28 ounce level loop Mohawk carpet or

                                cost for such power distribution shall be paid
                                by Tenant to Landlord within 15 days of demand.

                            Any other tenant improvements desired by Tenant and
                            not specifically provided for herein shall be
                            undertaken by Tenant at Tenant sole cost and expense
                            after Tenant has obtained the written consent of
                            Landlord to all plans and specifications for such
                            tenant improvements.

                            c.  Occupancy. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a
                            written notice (the "Occupancy Notice"), at least
                            fifteen days in advance, of the date that the
                            Building is expected to be secured (lockable doors),
                            illuminated with lighting sufficient for
                            construction activities, and ready for commencement
                            of the installation of Tenant's Sprinkler System
                            (e.g. Landlord's sprinkler system installed) and
                            Tenant's trade fixtures and other tenant
                            improvements which Tenant may wish to install in
                            addition to the office tenant improvements
                            undertaken by Landlord. Said Building status is
                            referred to herein as "Tenant Improveable". The
                            occupancy date under this paragraph may be prior to
                            substantial completion of the Premises or the
                            Building by Landlord. Tenant may thereupon enter the
                            Premises at its own risk, to install trade fixtures
                            and equipment and to make such improvements as
                            Tenant shall have the right to make. Tenant shall at
                            all times remain fully responsible for obtaining all
                            necessary permits for any such tenant improvements.
                            Tenant agrees that it will not in any way interfere
                            with the progress of Landlord's work on the Premises
                            and the Building by such entry. During the period
                            after which Tenant has entered the Premises and
                            prior to Landlord's completion of the Building and
                            the Premises, all terms and conditions of this Lease
                            shall apply. During this time period, Tenant has
                            Landlord's consent to bringing supplies and
                            inventory into the Premises to the extent that
                            Tenant has received any necessary permits to do so
                            and to the extent that such activity otherwise
                            complies with the limitations of this paragraph.
                            However, the ability to bring in such supplies and
                            inventory shall not be an attribute of "Tenant
                            Improveable" as that term is used herein.

                            d.  Commencement Date. Tenant shall be deemed to
                            have taken occupancy of the Premises on the date
                            specified in Landlord's Occupancy Notice, which
                            shall be the Commencement Date of this Lease;
                            provided however, that no base rent shall be charged
                            during the first two months following the
                            Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date does not
                            fall on the first day of any calendar month, then
                            base rent for the third month shall be prorated
                            based on a thirty day month, so that Tenant shall
                            receive exactly two months of free base rent, and
                            thereafter all rent payments

                           shall become due on the first day of each month. If
                           Landlord acts diligently to make the Premises
                           available to Tenant on or before June 1, 2000, or on
                           such other date stated in the Occupancy Notice,
                           neither Landlord nor any agent or employee of
                           Landlord shall be liable for any damage or loss due
                           to Landlord's inability or failure to deliver
                           possession of the Premises to Tenant as provided in
                           this Lease, except for the liquidated damages
                           provided below.

                           e.   Liquidated Damages For Late Delivery: In the

                           equal monthly installments. Tenant shall pay to
                           Landlord such monthly installments with each monthly
                           payment of base rent. In the event the estimated
                           amount of Tenant's payment obligation to Landlord for
                           the Operating Costs has not yet been determined at
                           the beginning of any calendar year, Tenant shall pay
                           the monthly installment in the estimated amount
                           determined for the preceding calendar year until the
                           estimate for the current calendar year has been
                           provided to Tenant. At such time as the estimate for
                           the current calendar year is received, Tenant shall
                           then pay any shortfall or receive a credit for any
                           surplus for the preceding months of the current
                           calendar year and shall, thereafter, make the monthly
                           installment payment in accordance with the current
                           estimate. As soon as reasonably possible following
                           the end of each calendar year of the Lease term,
                           Landlord shall determine and provide to Tenant a
                           statement (the "Annual Cost Statement") setting forth
                           the amount of Operating Costs actually incurred and
                           the amounts thereof paid by Tenant with respect to
                           such calendar year. In the event the amount payable
                           by Tenant for Operating Costs exceeds the sum of the
                           monthly installments actually paid by Tenant for such
                           calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
                           difference within thirty (30) days following receipt
                           of the Annual Cost Statement. In the event the sum of
                           such installments paid exceeds the amount payable by
                           Tenant for Operating Costs, the difference shall be
                           applied as a credit to Tenant's obligation to pay
                           future Operating Costs.

                       8.  TENANT'S TAXES. Tenant shall pay all taxes,
                           assessments, liens and license fees levied, assessed
                           or imposed by any authority having the direct or
                           indirect power to tax or assess any such liens, by
                           reason of Tenant's use of the Premises, and all taxes
                           on Tenant's personal property located on the
                           Premises.

                       9.  ALTERATIONS. Tenant may make alterations, additions
                           or improvements to the Premises, ("Alterations"),
                           only with the prior written consent of Landlord which
                           will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant
                           shall complete all Alterations at Tenant's expense in
                           compliance with all applicable laws and in accordance
                           with plans and specifications approved by Landlord,
                           using contractors approved by Landlord, and in a
                           manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with
                           Landlord or other tenants of the Building. Landlord
                           shall be deemed the owner of all Alterations except
                           for Tenant's trade fixtures, and those which Landlord
                           requires to be removed at the end of the Lease term.
                           Tenant shall remove all Alterations at the end of the
                           Lease term unless Landlord conditioned its consent
                           upon Tenant leaving a specified Alteration at the
                           Premises, in which case Tenant shall not remove such
                           Alteration. Tenant shall immediately repair any
                           damage to the Premises caused by removal of
                           Alterations and trade fixtures.

               10.  REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole expense,
                    maintain the Premises in good condition and promptly make
                    all repairs and replacements, whether structural or non-
                    structural, necessary to keep the Premises (including the
                    Real Property) safe and in good condition, including removal
                    of snow and ice from the roadways, parking areas, sidewalks,
                    and loading dock areas of the Premises, refurbishing and
                    repainting, carpet replacement, repair and maintenance of
                    air conditioning, heating, ventilation, plumbing, electrical
                    and lighting systems and all utilities and other systems
                    serving the Premises; provided however that Landlord shall
                    maintain and repair the Building foundation, exterior walls
                    (but not including exterior lighting which may be attached
                    to the exterior walls of the Building) Tenant shall not
                    damage any demising wall or disturb the structural integrity
                    of the Building and shall promptly repair any damage or
                    injury done to any such demising walls or structural
                    elements caused by Tenant or its employees, agents,
                    contractors, or invitees. If Tenant fails to maintain or
                    repair the Premises, Landlord may enter the Premises and
                    perform such repair or maintenance on behalf of Tenant. In
                    such case, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord
                    immediately upon receipt of demand for payment, as
                    additional Rent, all costs incurred by Landlord.
                    Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary,
                    Tenant shall not be responsible for any repairs to the
                    Premises made necessary by the acts of Landlord or its
                    agents, employees, contractors or invitees therein.

               11.  SURRENDER. Upon expiration or early or termination of this
                    Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall
                    promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord
                    in as good condition as when received by Tenant from
                    Landlord or as thereafter improved, reasonable wear and tear
                    and insured casualty excepted. Tenant shall be entitled to
                    remove its trade fixtures and equipment from the Premises
                    upon surrender of the Premises if Tenant is not then in
                    default under this Lease; provided that Tenant must repair
                    all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Unless
                    Landlord notifies Tenant otherwise in writing, Tenant shall
                    be required to remove Tenant's Sprinkler System at the time
                    of surrender of the Premises and return Landlord's Sprinkler
                    System to its original condition. Unless Landlord notifies
                    Tenant otherwise in writing, Tenant shall be required to
                    remove from the Premises all shelves, bins, machinery and
                    personal property of Tenant's, and to repair any damage
                    caused to the Premises by such removal.

               12.  ACCESS. After reasonable notice from Landlord (except in
                    cases of emergency, where no notice is required), Tenant
                    shall permit Landlord and its agents and employees to enter
                    the Premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of
                    repair or inspection. Landlord shall also be entitled to
                    enter the Premises as reasonably necessary for Landlord to
                    make alterations to the Reserved Space; provided however
                    that Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
                    operations in the Premises. This Section shall not impose
                    any repair or other obligation upon Landlord not expressly
                    stated elsewhere in this Lease. After reasonable notice to
                    Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises
                    for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective
                    purchasers or lenders at any time, and to prospective
                    tenants within 180 days prior to the expiration or sooner
                    termination of the Lease term.

               13.  SIGNAGE. Tenant shall obtain Landlord's written consent
                    before installing any signs upon the Premises which consent
                    shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall
                    install any approved signage at Tenant's sole expense and in
                    compliance with all applicable laws. Tenant shall not damage
                    or deface the Premises in installing or removing signage and
                    shall repair any injury or damage to the Premises caused by
                    such installation or removal.

               14.  DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION.

                    a.  Damage and Repair. If the Premises are partially damaged
                    but not rendered untenantable, by fire or other insured
                    casualty, then Landlord shall diligently restore the
                    Premises and the portion of the Property necessary for
                    Tenant's occupancy and this Lease shall not terminate;
                    provided, however, Tenant may terminate the Lease if
                    Landlord is unable to restore the Premises within six (6)
                    months of the casualty event. The Premises shall not be
                    deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25%)
                    of each of those areas are damaged. Notwithstanding the
                    foregoing, Landlord shall

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                    have no obligation to restore the Premises if insurance
                    proceeds are not available to pay the entire cost of such
                    restoration. If insurance proceeds are available to Landlord
                    but are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of
                    restoration, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease
                    and keep the insurance proceeds, by notifying Tenant within
                    sixty (60) days of the date of such casualty.

                    If the Premises are entirely destroyed, or partially damaged
                    and rendered untenantable, by fire or other casualty,
                    Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease as
                    provided herein, or (b) restore the Premises to their
                    previous condition; provided, however, if such casualty
                    event occurs during the last 6 months of the Lease term then
                    either Tenant or Landlord may elect to terminate the Lease.
                    If, within 60 days after receipt by Landlord from Tenant of
                    written notice that Tenant deems the Premises or the portion
                    of the Property necessary for Tenant's occupancy
                    untenantable, Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its
                    election to restore those areas, or if Landlord is unable to
                    restore those areas within six (6) months of the date of the
                    casualty event, then Tenant may- elect to terminate the
                    Lease.

                    If Landlord restores the Premises under this Section
                    Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete
                    the work, and the base rent shall be abated in the same
                    proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears
                    to the whole Premises, provided that there shall be a rent
                    abatement only if the damage or destruction of the Premises
                    or the Property did not result from, or was not contributed
                    to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of
                    Tenant, or Tenant's officers, contractors, licensees,
                    agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors.
                    Provided, Landlord complies with its obligations under this
                    Section, no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable
                    by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance
                    directly, incidentally or consequentially arising from any
                    repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or the
                    Property. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind for
                    the protection of Tenant or any improvements paid for by
                    Tenant or on Tenant's furniture or on any fixtures,
                    equipment, improvements or appurtenances of Tenant under
                    this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair
                    any damage thereto or replace the same unless the damage is
                    caused by Landlord's negligence.

                    b. Condemnation. If the Premises are made untenantable by
                    eminent domain, or conveyed under a threat of condemnation,
                    this Lease shall terminate at the option of either Landlord
                    or Tenant as of the earlier of the date title vests in the
                    condemning authority or the condemning authority first has
                    possession of the Premises or the portion of the Property
                    and all Rents and other payments shall be paid to that date.
                    In case of taking of a part of the Premises that does not
                    render those areas not taken untenantable, then this Lease
                    shall continue in full force and effect and the base rent
                    shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which
                    the floor area of any structures is reduced, such reduction
                    in base rent to be effective as of the earlier of the date
                    the condemning authority first has possession of such
                    portion or title vests in the condemning authority. The
                    Premises shall not be deemed untenantable if less than
                    twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is condemned.
                    Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the
                    condemning authority attributable to the value of the
                    Premises or the Real Property and Tenant shall make no claim
                    for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to
                    make a separate claim against the condemning authority for
                    moving expenses or damages resulting from interruption in
                    its business, provided that in no event shall Tenant's claim
                    reduce Landlord's award.

               15.  INSURANCE.

                    a. Liability Insurance. During the Lease term, Tenant shall
                    pay for and maintain commercial general liability insurance
                    with broad form property damage and contractual liability
                    endorsements. This policy shall name Landlord as an
                    additional insured, and shall insure Tenant's activities and
                    those of Tenant's employees, officers, contractors,
                    licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or
                    visitors with respect to the Premises against loss, damage
                    or liability for personal injury or death or loss or damage
                    to property with a combined single limit of not less than
                    $5,000,000, and a deductible of not more than $5,000. The
                    insurance will be noncontributory with any liability
                    insurance carried by Landlord.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

                    b. Tenant's Insurance. During the Lease term, Tenant shall
                    pay for and maintain replacement cost fire and extended
                    coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief,
                    sprinkler leakage and earthquake endorsements, in an amount
                    sufficient to cover not less than 100% of the full
                    replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time,
                    of all of Tenant's personal property, fixtures, equipment
                    and tenant improvements.

                    c. Miscellaneous. Insurance required under this Section
                    shall be with companies rated A-XV or better in Best's
                    Insurance Guide, and which are authorized to transact
                    business in the State of Washington. No insurance policy
                    shall be canceled or reduced in coverage and each such
                    policy shall provide that it is not subject to cancellation
                    or a reduction in coverage except after thirty (30) days'
                    prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to
                    Landlord upon commencement of the Lease and from time to
                    time thereafter, copies or certificates of the insurance
                    policies required by this Section. In no event shall the
                    limit of such policies be considered as limiting the
                    liability of Tenant under this Lease.

                    d. Landlord Insurance. Landlord shall carry standard form
                    extended coverage fire insurance of the Building shell and
                    core in the amount of their full replacement value, and such
                    other insurance of such types and amounts as Landlord, in
                    its discretion, shall deem reasonably appropriate, which may
                    include without limitation coverage for loss of Rents from
                    the Premises. The cost of any such insurance be included in
                    the Operating Costs of the Building. Landlord's insurance
                    may be included in a "blanket policy" insuring other parties
                    and/or locations in addition to the Building, in which case
                    the portion of the premiums therefor allocable to the
                    Building shall be included in the Operating Costs of the
                    Building. In addition to the foregoing, in the event Tenant
                    fails to provide or keep in force any of the insurance as
                    required above, Landlord, in its discretion, may provide
                    such insurance, in which event, the cost thereof shall be
                    payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent on the
                    first day of the calendar month immediately following demand
                    therefor from Landlord. Landlord shall make all reasonable
                    attempts to secure insurance that does not charge a higher
                    premium due to Tenant's particular use of the Premises as a
                    floor covering and ancillary products warehouse and
                    distribution center.

                    e. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release
                    each other and any other tenant, their agents or employees,
                    from responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of
                    recovery for any loss or damage arising from any cause
                    covered by insurance required to be carried by each of them.
                    Each party shall provide notice to the insurance carrier or
                    carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation, and shall
                    cause its respective insurance carriers to waive all rights
                    of subrogation against the other, This waiver shall not
                    apply to the extent of the deductible amounts to any such
                    policies or to the extent of liabilities exceeding the
                    limits of such policies.

               16.  INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall defend, indemnity, and hold
                    Landlord harmless against all liabilities, damages, costs,
                    and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from any
                    negligent or wrongful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's
                    officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants,
                    employees, guests, invitees, or visitors on or around the
                    Premises or arising from any breach of this Lease by Tenant.
                    Tenant shall use legal counsel acceptable to Landlord in
                    defense of any action within Tenant's defense obligation.
                    Landlord shall defend, indemnity and hold Tenant harmless
                    against all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses,
                    including attorneys' fees, arising from any negligent or
                    wrongful act or omission of Landlord or Landlord's officers,
                    contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests,
                    invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises or arising
                    from any breach of this Lease by Landlord. Landlord shall
                    use legal counsel acceptable to Tenant in defense of any
                    action within Landlord's defense obligation.

               17.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Except for assignments or
                    subleases to entities which are wholly owned by Tenant or
                    which are wholly owned by Tenant's parent company,
                    ("Affiliate") Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage,
                    encumber or otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease
                    (collectively referred to as a "Transfer") or any part of
                    the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord's written
                    consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
                    No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

                    under this Lease notwithstanding Landlord's consent to such
                    transfer, nor shall any Transfer with or without Landlord's
                    consent relieve any guarantor of this Lease from liability
                    on such guarantee. Consent to any Transfer shall not operate
                    as a waiver of the necessity for Landlord's consent to any
                    subsequent Transfer. As a condition to Landlord's approval,
                    if given, any potential assignee or subtenant otherwise
                    approved by Landlord shall assume all obligations of Tenant
                    under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable
                    with Tenant and any guarantor, if required, for the payment
                    of Rent and performance of all terms of this Lease. In
                    connection with any Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord
                    with copies of all assignments, subleases and assumption
                    instruments. In addition, in the event of a sublease or
                    assignment of all or a portion of the Premises to an entity
                    that is not an Affiliate, in which the subtenant or assignee
                    gives total consideration greater in value than the rent due
                    to Landlord hereunder for said portion ("Bonus Rent"),
                    Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the
                    Bonus Rent as it is received by Tenant. In calculating Bonus
                    Rent subtenant's or assignee's total consideration given
                    shall be converted as closely as possible to a dollar per
                    square foot per month value which shall be compared to the
                    same value determined under this Lease.

               18.  LIENS. Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied,
                    to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or
                    nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind, the
                    interest of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the
                    rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any
                    person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish
                    materials are perform labor for any construction or repairs,
                    and each such claim shall affect and each such lien shall
                    attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to
                    Tenant by this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that it
                    will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and
                    payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials
                    furnished in connection with any work performed on the
                    Premises on which any lien is or can be validly and legally
                    asserted against Tenant's interest in the Premises or the
                    improvements thereon, and that it will save and hold
                    Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense
                    based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against
                    the leasehold estate or against the right, title and
                    interest of Landlord in the Premises. If a lien is filed
                    against the Premises by any person claiming by, through or
                    under Tenant, Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, at
                    Tenant's expense, immediately furnish to Landlord a bond in
                    form and amount and issued by a surety satisfactory to
                    Landlord, indemnifying Landlord and the Premises against all
                    liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
                    which Landlord could reasonably incur as a result of such
                    lien(s).

               19.  DEFAULT. The following occurrences shall each be deemed an
                    Event of Default by Tenant:

                    a. Failure To Pay. Tenant fails to pay any sum, including
                    Rent, due under this Lease following five (5) days written
                    notice from Landlord of the failure to pay.

                    b. Insolvency. Tenant becomes insolvent, voluntarily or
                    involuntarily bankrupt, or a receiver, assignee or other
                    liquidating officer is appointed for Tenant's business,
                    provided that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or
                    other insolvency proceeding, the existence of such
                    proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default only if such
                    proceeding is not dismissed or vacated within 60 days after
                    its institution or commencement.

                    c. Levy or Execution. Tenant's interest in this Lease or the
                    Premises, or any part thereof, is taken by execution or
                    other process of law directed against Tenant, or is taken
                    upon or subjected to any attachment by any creditor of
                    Tenant, it such attachment is not discharged within 15 days
                    after being levied.

                    d. Other Non-Monetary Defaults. Tenant breaches any
                    agreement, term or covenant of this Lease other than one
                    requiring the payment of money and not otherwise enumerated
                    in this Section, and the breach continues for a period of 30
                    days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of the breach.

               20.  REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies upon an
                    Event of Default. Landlord's rights and remedies under this
                    Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other
                    right or remedy allowed by law.

                    a. Termination of Lease. Landlord may terminate Tenant's
                    interest under the Lease, but no act by Landlord other than
                    written notice from Landlord to Tenant of termination shall
                    terminate this Lease. The Lease shall terminate on the date
                    specified in the notice of termination. Upon termination of
                    this Lease, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for
                    damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other sums that
                    would have been owing by Tenant under this Lease for the
                    balance of the Lease term, less the net proceeds, if any, of
                    any reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to the
                    termination, after deducting all Landlord's Reletting
                    Expenses (as defined below). 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 Tenants
                    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
                    (discounting such amount by the discount rate of the Federal
                    Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus
                    1%); 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 21(b).

                    b. Re-Entry and Reletting. 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.
                    "Reletting Expenses" is defined to include all expenses
                    incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the
                    Premises, including without limitation, all repossession
                    costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys' fees, remodeling
                    and repair costs, costs for removing and storing Tenant's
                    property and equipment, and rent concessions granted by
                    Landlord to any new Tenant, prorated over the life of the
                    new lease.

                    c. 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 to 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,

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

                    Landlord may, at 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.

               21.  RESTRICTIONS. This Lease is subject to the effect of (a) any
                    covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, or rights of
                    way of record, and any other matters or documents of record;
                    (b) any zoning laws of the city, county and state where the
                    Real Property is situated; and (c) general and special taxes
                    not delinquent. Tenant agrees that as to its leasehold
                    estate, Tenant and all persons in possession or holding
                    under Tenant will conform to and will not violate the terms
                    of any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record which
                    may now or hereafter encumber the property (hereinafter the
                    "Restrictions"). This Lease is subordinate to the
                    Restrictions and any amendments or modifications thereto.

               22.  MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION/NON-DISTURBANCE. Tenant accepts this
                    Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgages and/or deeds
                    of trust now or any time hereinafter constituting a lien or
                    charge upon the Premises or the improvements situated
                    thereon, provided, however, that if the mortgagee, trustee,
                    or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to
                    have Tenant's interest in this Lease superior to any such
                    instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such mortgagee,
                    trustee or holder, this Lease shall be deemed to superior to
                    such lien, whether this Lease was executed before after said
                    mortgage or deed of trust.. Tenant shall at any time
                    hereinafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or
                    other documents which may be required by any mortgagee for
                    the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to
                    the lien of any such mortgage; provided however that such
                    instruments must provide that in the event the mortgagee or
                    the beneficiary of the deed of trust becomes the owner of
                    the Premises pursuant to any foreclosure or trustee's sale,
                    the mortgagee or beneficiary will not disturb Tenant in it
                    possession and enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant
                    abides by the terms and conditions of this Lease.

               23.  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 of Rent or other amounts due by
                    Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
                    breach by Tenant preceding such acceptance.

               24.  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 and may be terminated according to Washington
                    law. During such tenancy, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
                    125% the rate of Rent last payable under this Lease, unless
                    a different rate is agreed upon by Landlord. All other terms
                    of the Lease shall remain in effect.

               25.  COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. If Tenant or Landlord engage the
                    services of an attorney to collect monies due or to bring
                    any action for any relief against the other, declaratory or
                    otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit by
                    Landlord for the recovery of Rent or other payments, or
                    possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the
                    prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees and
                    expert witness fees in such suit, at trial and on appeal.

               26.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon
                    written request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and
                    deliver to Landlord or its designee a written statement

                    force and effect and has not been assigned, modified,
                    supplemented or amended in any way; (iv) that this Lease

                                      -14-

                    that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by
                    Landlord have been satisfied; (vi) that there are no
                    existing claims, defenses or offsets which the Tenant has

                    that no Rent has been paid more than one month in advance;
                    (viii) that no security has been deposited with Landlord

                    matters pertaining to this Lease may be requested by
                    Landlord. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this
                    Section may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser of
                    Landlord's interest or assignee of any mortgage or new
                    mortgagee of Landlord's interest in the Premises. It Tenant
                    shall fail to respond within ten (10) days of receipt by
                    Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided,
                    Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as
                    above provided without modification and shall be deemed to
                    have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by
                    Landlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee.

               27.  TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. This Lease shall be
                    assignable by Landlord without the consent of Tenant. Any
                    such assignment shall not alter the terms of this lease. In
                    the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord's
                    interest in the Premises, other than a transfer for security
                    purposes only, upon the assumption of this Lease by the
                    transferee, Landlord shall be automatically relieved of
                    obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the date
                    of such transfer, except for any retained security deposit
                    or prepaid rent, and Tenant shall attorn to the transferee.

               28.  LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be liable to
                    Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, servants, guests,
                    invitees or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for
                    any injury to person or damage to property on or about the
                    Premises, resulting from and/or caused in part or whole by
                    the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its employees,
                    agents, servants, guests, invitees or visitors, or any other
                    person entering upon the Premises, or caused by the Building
                    or the Premises becoming out of repair, or caused by leakage
                    of gas, oil, water, steam or by electricity emanating from
                    the Premises, or due to any cause whatsoever, and Tenant
                    hereby covenants and agrees that it will at all times
                    indemnify, defend and hold safe and harmless the Real
                    Property, the Premises, Landlord, Landlord's employees,
                    agents, servants, guests, invitees, and visitors from any
                    loss, liability, claims, suits, costs, expenses, including
                    without limitation attorneys' fees and damages, both real
                    and alleged, arising out of any such damage or injury;
                    except injury to persons or damage to property the sole
                    cause of which is the negligence of Landlord. Tenant agrees
                    that no trustee, officer, employee, or agent of Landlord,
                    shall be personally liable for any obligation of Landlord
                    hereunder, and that Tenant must look solely to the interests
                    of Landlord in the Real Property for the enforcement of any
                    claims against Landlord arising here under.

               29.  RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Tenant shall fail to timely pay any sum
                    or perform any other act on its part to be performed
                    hereunder, Landlord may make any such payment or perform any
                    such other act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as
                    provided in this Lease. Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse
                    Landlord for its expenses incurred in making such payment or
                    performance. Landlord shall (in addition to any other right
                    or remedy of Landlord provided by law) have the same rights
                    and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of sums due
                    under this Section as in the case of default by Tenant in
                    the payment of Rent.

               30.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor
                    Tenant's employees, officers, agents, invitees, customers,
                    agents or representatives will use, generate, release,
                    treat, store or dispose of Hazardous Materials on the
                    Premises except in accordance with any law, ordinance, rule
                    or regulation of any governmental authority having
                    jurisdiction of the Premises. If Tenant breaches the
                    obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the
                    presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises caused or
                    permitted by Tenant result in contamination of the Premises,
                    then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
                    harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages,
                    penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses (including
                    without limitation diminution in value of the Premises,
                    damages for the loss or restriction on the use of space or
                    of any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Premises,
                    and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees,
                    consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after
                    the Lease term as a result of such contamination. This

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

                    indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without
                    limitation, costs incurred in connection with any
                    investigation of site conditions or any cleanup,
                    remediation, removal or restoration work required by any
                    federal, state or local governmental agency, political
                    subdivision, lender or buyer because of Hazardous Materials
                    present in the soil or groundwater on or under the Premises,
                    diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or
                    restriction on use of space in the Building or on the Real
                    Property, damages arising from any adverse impact on
                    marketing of the Real Property or of the Building, and sums
                    paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant
                    fees, laboratory fees and expert fees. Without limiting the
                    foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the
                    Premises or Real Property caused or permitted by Tenant
                    results in any contamination of the Premises or the Real
                    Property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole
                    expense as are necessary to return the Real Property and the
                    Premises to the condition existing prior to the
                    contamination by any such Hazardous Materials; provided,
                    however, the Landlord's approval of such action shall first
                    be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably
                    withheld.

                    Tenant will deliver to Landlord copies of any documents
                    received from, or sent by. Tenant to, the United States

                    submission of this Lease to the other for review shall not

                      FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment to Lease Agreement is made this ____ day of August,
2000 between SEATTLE BOX COMPANY, a Washington corporation doing business as
SEATTLE-TACOMA BOX COMPANY ("Landlord") and ALADDIN MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation ("Tenant") and is an amendment to that Lease between the
parties dated December 10, 1999 ("Lease") affecting the Premises located on Lot
2, City of Kent. Short Plat No. 74-1, recorded under Recording Number
7808170845, located in King County Washington.

     WHEREAS the Tenant has requested that certain changes be made in the
construction of the Building; and

     WHEREAS these changes will change the cost of the Building and the time for
completion of the Building;

     The parties hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:

     1.   Column Change. The Building Plans listed in Exhibit F to the Lease
          -------------
will be changed to reflect that the columns supporting the roof of the Building
shall be located as shown on those plans and drawings dated January 28, 2000.
showing relocation of the columns. The change in the column locations is
referred to as the "Column Change". The parties acknowledge that the columns
have been constructed in the location desired by the Tenant and as reflected in
the Column Change;

     2.   Sprinkler System Change. The original Lease provides that the building
          -----------------------
shall include installation by Landlord of an overhead ESFR fire sprinkler system
("Landlord's Sprinkler System") and that the Tenant may thereafter convert
Landlord's Sprinkler System into an in-rack sprinkler system ("Tenant's
Sprinkler System"). The Lease further provides that upon surrender of the
Premises at the end of the lease term, the Tenant will restore the Landlord's
Sprinkler System. The parties have agreed to change this arrangement. Paragraphs
3A and 11 of the Lease shall be amended in part to provide that, as part of
construction of the Building, the Landlord will alter the Building and construct
an in-rack sprinkler system as requested by Tenant. These alterations and the
new sprinkler system are represented in plans and specifications original
submitted to the City of Kent on February 11, 2000 and then resubmitted to
include a smoke curtain on March 20, 2000 and are referred to herein as the
"Revised Sprinkler System". Regarding surrender of the Premises, unless Landlord
notifies Tenant otherwise in writing, prior to the time of Tenant's surrender of
the Premises, Tenant shell construct on the Premises a fully operational ESFR
system. Upon surrender of the premises this ESFR system shall be fully
operational. In the event that at the time of surrender ESFR sprinkler systems
are no longer being constructed, tenant shall construct and surrender with the
Premises the then in use system most similar in performance and quality to the
ESFR systems currently in use.

     3.   Electrical System Change and Distribution System. The original plans
          ------------------------------------------------
for the building provided for a 200 amp distribution panel on the Premises and
provided a $5,000 credit for the cost of distribution of the power throughout
the Premises. The original lease made no provision for the electrical costs
associated with the relocation of Tenant's equipment to the Premises and the
modifications that would be necessary to that equipment. The parties have agreed
that the main distribution panel will be increased by Landlord to 600 amps, that
Landlord will provide the electrical distribution system to Tenant's equipment,
that Landlord will provide extra electrical outlets as requested by Tenant and
that Landlord will complete certain equipment modifications which have been
negotiated between Tenant and Landlord's contractor. All such additional
electrical work shall be referred to herein as the Electrical Change.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

     4.   Commencement Date. The Commencement Date of the Lease described in
          -----------------
Sections 1(c) and 3(d) of the Lease shall be June 15, 2000.

     5.   Liquidated Damages For Late Delivery. Paragraph 3(e) of the Lease is
          ------------------------------------
hereby deleted in its entirety.

     6.   Reimbursements for Changes. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for
          --------------------------
the Column Change and Sprinkler System Changes as follows. The additional cost
to the Tenant of the Column Change is $17,859.56, which shall be paid to
Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of Tenant receiving a bill for the
Column Change, which bill shall be issued by Landlord as Landlord is billed for
the changes by the contractor. At Landlord's election, its administrative fee
may be billed on a pro rata basis in installments or as part of the final
billing. The additional cost to the Tenant of the Sprinkler System Change is
$174,035.50 which shall be paid to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of

issued by Landlord as Landlord is billed for the items included in the Sprinkler
System Change by the contractor. At Landlord's election, its administrative fee
may be billed on a pro rata basis in installments or as part of the final
billing. The Landlord and Tenant have agreed to share the cost of the Electrical
Change. The total cost of the Electrical Change is $55,636.97. The Landlord will
pay $2,419.55 of this amount. After credit for the $5,000 allowance in the
Lease, the additional cost to the Tenant of the Electrical Change is $48,148.00

Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
