               AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      This AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated March 30,
2005, and effective as of this 31st day of January 2005 (the "Effective Date")
is between Loudeye Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Michael A.
Brochu ("Executive") and amends, restates and supersedes that certain Executive
Employment Agreement dated January 31, 2005.

                                   AGREEMENTS

      1.    EMPLOYMENT

      The Company will employ Executive and Executive will accept employment by
the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive will have
the authority, subject to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, and Amended Bylaws, as may be granted from time to
time by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Executive shall perform
the duties assigned from time to time by the Board, which relate to the business
of the Company, or any business ventures in which the Company may participate.
Executive has executed a Loudeye Corp. Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement, which contains noncompetition and nonsolicitation obligations, in the
form attached as EXHIBIT A, which is part of this Agreement.

      2.    ATTENTION AND EFFORT

      Executive shall devote his entire productive time, ability, attention and
effort to the Company's business and shall skillfully serve its interests during
the term of this Agreement and shall not engage in any business or employment
activity that is not on Company's behalf (whether or not pursued for gain or
profit); provided, however, that Executive may devote reasonable periods of time
to (a) engaging in personal investment activities that do not involve Executive
providing any advice or services to the businesses that compete with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries; and (b) engaging in charitable or community service
activities, so long as none of the foregoing additional activities materially
interfere with Executive's duties under this Agreement. Executive may from time
to time receive requests to serve on a board of directors of another company, in
which case Executive shall notify the Board in advance of accepting any such
position in order to permit full consideration of whether such board position
would interfere with Executive's performance of his duties to the Company,
including under this Agreement. The parties agree that Executive may continue to
serve on the advisory Board of Voyager Capital, and on the Boards of Directors
of Art Technology Group (ATG), Allrecipes.com, Emphysis Medical Management, and
the Washington Software Alliance (WSA).

      3.    TERM

      Unless earlier terminated with appropriate notice of termination, the
initial term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof until December 31,
2005; provided, however, that, unless terminated with appropriate notice, on
each January 1 following the date of this Agreement, beginning with January 1,
2006, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year
terms.

      4.    COMPENSATION

      During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay or cause to be
paid to Executive, and Executive shall accept in exchange for the services
rendered hereunder by him, the following compensation:

            4.1   BASE SALARY

            Executive's compensation shall consist of, in part, an annual base
salary (the "Base Salary") of Three Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
($325,000) before all customary payroll deductions. The Base Salary shall be
paid to Executive in substantially equal installments and at the same intervals
as other officers of the Company are paid. At the end of each year of employment
(or sooner if determined by the Board), Executive's Base

                                       1
<PAGE>

Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole
discretion, except that the Executive's Base Salary shall never be reduced below
Three Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($325,000).

            4.2.  STOCK OPTION GRANTS

            On the Effective Date, the Company shall grant Executive a stock
option to purchase 1,500,000 shares (the "Initial Option") of the Company's
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The Initial Option
shall be granted under and be subject to the terms of the Company's 2000 Stock
Option Plan, as amended (the "2000 Plan"). The Initial Option shall be an
incentive stock option to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. The
exercise price for the Initial Option shall be the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the Effective Date. The Initial Option shall vest as follows:
25% of the shares shall vest and be exercisable on the one year anniversary date
of this Agreement and the remaining shares shall vest monthly in equal
increments over the next 36 months.

            In addition, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting
of the Company's stockholders anticipated to be held in May 2005 of an increase
in the authorized number of shares reserved under the 2000 Plan or stockholder
approval at such meeting for implementation of a restricted stock plan, the
Compensation Committee shall at its sole discretion either: (a) grant Executive
an option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
the Company obtains such stockholder approval of the share reserve under the
2000 Plan; or (b) issue to Executive a number of shares of restricted Common
Stock equal to the value of the option grant in subclause (a). If the Board
elects to issue restricted stock to Executive, the minimum number of shares to
be issued to Executive shall be 750,000. This additional compensatory equity
grant, whether a stock option or restricted stock grant, shall vest over a four
year period, 25% vesting on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date and
the remainder vesting monthly over three years.

            Solely in the event the stockholders do not approve either an
increase in the share reserve under the 2000 Plan or implementation of a
restricted stock plan, then the Compensation Committee shall cause to be issued
on January 1, 2006, a stock option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price for the Common
Stock on the immediately preceding trading date and vesting 25% as of January 1,
2006, the remainder vesting monthly over three years. This option grant, or the
option or restricted stock grant set out in the preceding paragraph, is referred
to as the "Subsequent Grant."

            If the Company elects to fail to renew the contract in accordance
with Section 3 or otherwise terminates this Agreement without Cause (as defined
in Section 7.7) or Executive terminates this Agreement for "Good Reason" (as
defined in Section 7.7) at any time, the Subsequent Grant (if it has not already
been made as provided above) shall nonetheless be issued even if the Company
chooses to terminate this Agreement without Cause effective December 31, 2005 or
at any time, and all options (or restricted stock, as the case may be) under the
Initial Option grant and Subsequent Grant shall accelerate vest effective
December 31, 2005 (for the portion of the options granted as of that date for
failure to renew this Agreement or otherwise terminate this Agreement) and/or
the date of termination of this Agreement.

            If, on or after a Change of Control (as defined herein), Executive's
employment with the Company terminates due to an involuntary termination of
Executive by the Company other than for "Cause" (as defined in Section 7.7) or
by Executive for "Good Reason" (as defined in Section 7.7), then all of
Executive's Company stock options or restricted stock grants shall immediately
accelerate and become fully vested and exercisable immediately upon such
termination.

            For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:

            (i) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act),

                                       2
<PAGE>

directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent
(50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company's then
outstanding voting securities; or

            (ii) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of
all or substantially all the Company's assets in one or a series of related
transactions; or

            (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company
or share exchange involving any other corporation, other than (A) a merger,
consolidation or share exchange which would result in the voting securities of
the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of
the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (B) a merger
effected solely for purposes of changing the domicile of the Company.

            4.3   ONE-TIME BONUS

            Within fifteen calendar (15) days of the execution of this
Agreement, Company shall pay to Executive Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00), less all customary payroll deductions.

            4.4   PERFORMANCE BONUS

            Executive's eligibility for a performance bonus shall be based on
the overall performance of the Company. Each year the Compensation Committee
shall set both a performance target and maximum performance goal for the Company
for the fiscal year. The performance target and maximum performance goal shall
be documented in writing and acknowledged by Executive. If, based on the
Company's audited financial statements, the performance target is met, and if
the Company is EBITDA positive (as determined in accordance with GAAP),
Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus of up to fifty percent (50%) of
his Base Salary. If, based on the Company's audited financials, the maximum
performance goal is met, and if the Company is EBITDA positive, Executive shall
be eligible for an annual bonus of up to one hundred percent (100%) of his Base
Salary. For avoidance of doubt, executive's maximum aggregate annual bonus
potential under this Section 4.4 is 100% of his Base Salary. The parties will
negotiate in good faith to address any issues of fairness or consistency if
there are changes in GAAP between the time that the targets are established and
the calculation of eligibility for bonus.

            The actual amount of any bonus payable to Executive shall be
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, and Executive understands
that in any year no more than twenty five percent (25%) of that year's total
positive EBITDA balance be distributed as bonus compensation individually or
collectively to the Company's executive leadership team (including Executive and
the Company's other senior executives). Any potential bonus amount that is not
payable pursuant to the prior sentence shall not be earned and shall not be
accrued by the Company. For illustration purposes only, if in a given year
Executive meets the maximum performance goal entitling Executive to a
performance bonus of $325,000 (100% of his Base Salary) and the Company's
positive EBITDA balance as of the applicable year end is $1,000,000, then the
maximum bonus amount distributable to the executive leadership team shall be
$250,000, of which Executive would receive a percentage to be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board. In this example, the remaining balance of
Executive's earned bonus would not be earned and would not be accrued by the
Company.

      5.    DIRECTOR

      So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Board shall, to the maximum
extent as is consistent with its obligations under applicable law, recommend
Executive as a candidate for director at each annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Company where Executive's term as a director of the Company would
otherwise expire. As an employee of the Company, Executive shall not be entitled
to any additional compensation from the Company for his services as a director.
In the event Executive ceases to serve as Chief Executive Officer for any
reason, the Board believes that whether Executive will continue as a director is
a matter for discussion at that time with the new Chief

                                       3
<PAGE>

Executive Officer and the Board. If it is determined by the Board that Executive
should not continue to serve on the Board, then Executive agrees to immediately
tender his resignation from the Board.

      6.    BENEFITS

      During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide Executive
with the health and dental insurance provided to other senior executives.
Executive will be entitled to participate, subject to and in accordance with
applicable eligibility requirements, in fringe benefit programs that may be
established by the Company or, to the extent applicable, by the Board. During
each calendar year for the term of this Agreement, and, assuming the Agreement
is renewed, through December 31, 2007, Executive shall be entitled to four (4)
weeks paid vacation. Beginning January 1, 2008, Executive shall be entitled to
five (5) weeks paid vacation. Unused vacation time may be accrued during the
term of this Agreement, but in no event shall Executive accrue and carry over
more than four (4) weeks of paid vacation. Any unused vacation time above the
three weeks that may be carried over is forfeited.

      7.    PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION

      Beginning on the Effective Date, and subject to Executive executing a
release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, Executive
shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits following termination
of Executive's employment by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below) or by
the Company for any reason other than Cause (as defined below), including
non-renewal of this Agreement, or upon Executive's death or Disability (as
defined below).

            7.1   TERMINATION PAYMENT

                  (a) Generally. The Company shall make payments in cash to
Executive as severance pay equal to four months of Executive's annual Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive's termination (the
"Cash Severance"). The Cash Severance due under this Section 7.1(a) shall be
paid in a lump sum. The amount of Cash Severance to be paid under this section
shall increase to an amount equal to eight months of Executive's annual Base
Salary on December 31, 2005, and to an amount equal to twelve months of
Executive's annual Base Salary on December 31, 2006. The amount of Cash
Severance can be increased as negotiated in good faith between the Executive and
the Compensation Committee at the time of termination.

                  (b) Termination Payment on Change of Control. If, on or after
a Change of Control, Executive's employment with the Company terminates due to
(i) a voluntary termination for Good Reason (as defined in Section 7.7) or (ii)
an involuntary termination by the Company other than for "Cause" (as defined in
Section 7.7), then the Company shall pay Executive as severance an amount equal
to twelve months of Executive's annual Base Salary in effect immediately prior
to the date of Executive's termination. The severance due under this Section
7.1(b) shall be paid in a lump sum.

            7.2   ACCRUED BENEFITS

            The Company shall pay to Executive the amount of any compensation
deferred by Executive and any accrued vacation pay for the periods of service
prior to the date of termination. Such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum.

            7.3   DEATH OR DISABILITY OF EXECUTIVE

            Executive shall be entitled to the Cash Severance in the event of
his death or Disability. In the event of Executive's death, all benefits and
payments provided for by this Section 7 shall be paid to his spouse, if any, or
otherwise to the personal representative of his estate, unless Executive has
otherwise directed the Company in writing prior to his death.

                                       4
<PAGE>

            7.4   EXCLUSIVE SOURCE OF SEVERANCE PAY

            Benefits provided under this Agreement shall replace the amount of
any severance payments to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under any
severance plan or policy generally available to executives of the Company.

            7.5   NONSEGREGATION

            No assets of the Company need be segregated or earmarked to
represent the liability for benefits payable hereunder. The rights of Executive
to receive benefits hereunder shall be only those of a general unsecured
creditor.

            7.6   WITHHOLDING

            All payments under this Section 7 are subject to applicable federal
and state payroll withholding or other applicable taxes.

            7.7   "CAUSE" AND "GOOD REASON" DEFINITIONS

            For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (a) violation by
Executive of a state or federal criminal law involving the commission of a crime
against the Company, or any felony; (b) habitual or repeated misuse by Executive
of alcohol or controlled substances; (c) fraud, intentional misrepresentation or
dishonesty by Executive with respect to the business of the Company; (d) any
incident materially compromising Executive's reputation or ability to represent
the Company with the public; (e) any intentional act by Executive that
substantially impairs the Company's business, goodwill or reputation; or (f) a
determination by a majority of the Company's directors (other than the
Executive) within thirty (30) days after the end of each of two (2) consecutive
calendar quarters that the Company (or the Executive) has not substantially met
the Quarterly Goals (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement,
"Quarterly Goals" shall mean specific targeted metrics of Company performance
(financial or otherwise) and / or Executive performance for a calendar quarter.
The Quarterly Goals shall be agreed to in writing by the Executive and the
Company within the thirty (30) day periods prior to the beginning of each
calendar quarter. The first set of Quarterly Goals shall be for the Second
Quarter of 2005.

            For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean, without
Executive's express written consent: (a) the material reduction of (i)
Executive's duties, benefits, authority or responsibilities (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors), or (ii) compensation ; (b) the relocation
of the principal place of Executive's employment to a location that is more than
fifty (50) miles away from its current location; and (c) the uncured breach of
any material provision of this Agreement by the Company, including, without
limitation, failure by the Company to pay Executive's Base Salary or bonus;
provided, however, that the Executive shall not be deemed to have resigned for
Good Reason hereunder unless with respect to each of (a) and (b) and (c) above,
the Executive shall have provided written notice to the Company within 60
calendar days after the event that the Executive believes gives rise to the
Executive's right to terminate employment for Good Reason, describing in
reasonable detail the facts that provide the basis for such belief, and the
Company shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to cure any
such material reduction, relocation or breach.

            7.8   TERMINATION FOR FAILURE TO MEET QUARTERLY GOALS

            Notwithstanding anything stated elsewhere in this Agreement, the
parties agree that if Executive is terminated by the Company for failing to
substantially meet the Quarterly Goals after the end of each of two successive
quarters, Executive shall be entitled to severance under Section 7.1(a) of this
Agreement, but shall not be entitled to any accelerated vesting of any
outstanding options.

      8.    TERMINATION

      Employment of Executive pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated as
 follows:

                                       5
<PAGE>

            8.1   BY THE COMPANY

            Until December 31, 2005, the Company may terminate the employment of
Executive with or without Cause upon giving written notice of termination
("Notice of Termination"), which notice shall be effective immediately if
termination is for Cause and thirty (30) days later if termination is not for
Cause. After January 1, 2006, the Company may terminate this Agreement without
Cause upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice in the form of a Notice of
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the effective date specified in
such Notice of Termination. Payments due to Executive pursuant to Section 7, if
any, shall commence on the effective date of the Notice of Termination.

            8.2   BY EXECUTIVE

            Executive may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days' prior
written notice in the form of a Notice of Termination, and this Agreement shall
terminate upon the effective date specified in such Notice of Termination.
Payments due to Executive pursuant to Section 7, if any, shall commence on the
effective date of the Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, the Company shall have the right to accelerate Executive's termination
of employment to be effective on the date that the Notice of Termination is
received by the Company, or any date of the Company's choosing between that date
and the effective date specified in the Notice of Termination.

            8.3   AUTOMATIC TERMINATION

            This Agreement and Executive's employment shall terminate
automatically upon Executive's death or Executive's inability, for any reason,
to perform his duties with the Company for 120 days in any twelve (12) month
period ("Disability").

            8.4   EFFECT OF TERMINATION

            Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the
Company shall remain liable for any rights or payments arising prior to such
event to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.

      9.    GOLDEN PARACHUTE TAXES.

            In the event that (i) any amounts paid or deemed paid to Executive
under this Agreement are deemed to constitute "excess parachute payments" as
defined in Section 280G of the Code (taking into account any other payments made
to Executive under any other agreement and any other compensation paid or deemed
paid to Executive), or if Executive is deemed to receive an "excess parachute
payment" by reason of his or her vesting in the option grants or restricted
stock grants set forth in Section 4.2, and (ii) such deemed "excess parachute
payments" would be subject to the excise tax of Section 4999 of the Code, then
at the election of the Executive, the amount of any or all of such payments or
deemed payments, as selected by Executive, may be reduced (or, alternatively the
provisions of Section 4.2 may be waived so as not act to vest options to such
Executive), so that no such payments or deemed payments shall constitute excess
parachute payments. The determination of whether a payment or deemed payment
constitutes an excess parachute payment shall be made in the sole discretion of
the Board.

      10.   MISCELLANEOUS

                                    EXHIBIT A

            FORM OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

                                  LOUDEYE CORP.

      In consideration of my employment or consultancy (as the case may be) by
Loudeye Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company," which term includes the
Company's subsidiaries and any of its affiliates), any opportunity for
advancement or reassignment that the Company may offer me, the compensation paid
to me in connection with such employment or consultancy (as the case may be) and
any stock and/or stock options which have been or may be granted to me by the
Company, I, Michael A. Brochu, hereby agree as follows:

      1.    Whenever used in this Agreement the following terms will have the
            following meanings:

      (a)   "Invention(s)" means designs, trademarks, discoveries, formulae,
            processes, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, inventions,
            improvements, ideas, business plans or strategies, or copyrightable
            works, including all rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce
            these proprietary interests; provided that the term "Inventions"
            shall not be deemed to include those inventions, if any, listed on
            the exhibit attached to this Agreement.

      (b)   "Proprietary Information" means information or physical material not
            generally known or available outside the Company or information or
            physical material entrusted to the Company by third parties. This
            includes, but is not limited to, Inventions, confidential knowledge,
            trade secrets, copyrights, product ideas, techniques, processes,
            formulas, object codes, mask works and/or any other information of
            any type relating to documentation, data, schematics, algorithms,
            flow charts, mechanisms, research, manufacture, improvements,
            assembly, installation, marketing, forecasts, pricing, customers,
            the salaries, duties, qualifications, performance levels and terms
            of compensation of other employees, and/or cost or other financial
            data concerning any of the foregoing or the Company and its
            operations. Proprietary Information may be contained in material
            such as drawings, samples, procedures, specifications, reports,
            studies, customer or supplier lists, budgets, cost or price lists,
            compilations or computer programs, or may be in the nature of
            unwritten knowledge or know-how.

      (c)   "Company Documents" means documents or other media that contain
            Proprietary Information or any other information concerning the
            business, operations or plans of the Company, whether such documents
            have been prepared by me or by others. "Company Documents" include,
            but are not limited to, blueprints, drawings, photographs, charts,
            graphs, notebooks, customer lists, computer disks, tapes or
            printouts, sound recordings and other printed, typewritten or
            handwritten documents.

      2.    I understand that the Company is engaged in a continuous program of
research, development and production. I also recognize that the Company
possesses or has rights to Proprietary Information (including certain
information developed by me during my employment or consultancy (as the case may
be) by the Company) which has commercial value in the Company's business that
derives, at least in part, from not being generally known or readily
ascertainable.

      3.    I understand that the Company possesses Company Documents which are
important to its business.

      4.    I understand and agree that my employment or consultancy (as the
case may be) creates a relationship of confidence and trust between me and the
Company with respect to (i) all Proprietary Information, and

                                       1

<PAGE>

(ii) the confidential information of another person or entity with which the
Company has a business relationship and is required by terms of an agreement
with such entity or person to hold such information as confidential. At all
times, both during my employment or consultancy (as the case may be) by the
Company and after its termination, I will keep in confidence and trust all such
information, and I will not use or disclose any such information without the
written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary
course of performing my duties to the Company, in which case I shall take
reasonable steps to ensure that such information is maintained in confidence.

      5.    In addition, I hereby agree as follows:

            (a)   All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the
Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall be the sole owner
of all trade secrets, patents, copyrights and other rights in connection
therewith. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may presently have or I
may acquire in such Proprietary Information.

            (b)   All Company Documents, apparatus, equipment and other physical
property, whether or not pertaining to Proprietary Information, furnished to me
by the Company or produced by me or others in connection with my employment or
consultancy (as the case may be) shall be and remain the sole property of the
Company. I shall return to the Company all such Company Documents, materials and
property as and when requested by the Company, excepting only (i) my personal
copies of records relating to my compensation; (ii) my personal copies of any
materials previously distributed generally to stockholders of the Company; and
(iii) my copy of this Agreement (my "Personal Documents"). Even if the Company
does not so request, I shall return all such Company Documents, materials and
property upon termination of my employment or consultancy (as the case may be)
by me or by the Company for any reason, and, except for my Personal Documents, I
will not take with me any such Company Documents, material or property or any
reproduction thereof upon such termination.

            (c)   I will promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons
designated by it, all Inventions relating to the subject matter of my employment
or consultancy made or conceived, reduced to practice or learned by me, either
alone or jointly with others, prior to the termination of my employment or
consultancy (as the case may be) and for one (1) year thereafter.

            (d)   Without further compensation, I hereby agree promptly to
disclose to the Company, and I hereby assign and agree to assign to the Company
or its designee, my entire right, title, and interest in and to all Inventions
which I may solely or jointly develop or reduce to practice during the period of
my employment or consulting relationship with the Company (i) which pertain to
any line of business activity of the Company, (ii) which are aided by the use of
time, material or facilities of the Company, whether or not during working
hours, or (iii) which relate to any of my work during the period of my
employment or consulting relationship with the Company, whether or not during
normal working hours. No rights are hereby conveyed in Inventions, if any, made
by me prior to my employment or consulting relationship with the Company which
are identified in a sheet attached to and made a part of this Agreement, if any
(which attachment contains no confidential information).

            NOTICE REQUIRED BY REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON 49.44.140:

            ANY ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT
      APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE
      SECRET INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED
      ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OR CONSULTANT'S OWN TIME, UNLESS (a) THE
      INVENTION RELATES (i) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY OR (ii) TO
      THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
      OR (b) THE INVENTION RESULTS FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE OR
      CONSULTANT FOR THE COMPANY.

            (e)   During or after my employment or consultancy (as the case may
be), upon the Company's request and at the Company's expense, I will execute all
papers in a timely manner and do all acts necessary to apply for, secure,
maintain or enforce patents, copyrights and any other legal rights in the United
States and foreign

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

countries in Inventions assigned to the Company under this Agreement, and I will
execute all papers and do any and all acts necessary to assign and transfer to
the Company or any person or party to whom the Company is obligated to assign
its rights, my entire right, title and interest in and to such Inventions. This
obligation shall survive the termination of my employment or consultancy (as the
case may be), but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after
such termination for time actually spent by me at the Company's request on such
assistance. In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to
secure my signature to any document reasonably necessary or appropriate for any
of the foregoing purposes, (including renewals, extensions, continuations,
divisions or continuations in part), I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint
the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agents and
attorneys-in-fact to act for and in my behalf and instead of me, but only for
the purpose of executing and filing any such document and doing all other
lawfully permitted acts to accomplish the foregoing purposes with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me.

            (f)   So that the Company may be aware of the extent of any other
demands upon my time and attention, I will disclose to the Company (such
disclosure to be held in confidence by the Company) the nature and scope of any
other business activity in which I am or become engaged during the term of my
employment or consultancy (as the case may be). During the term of my employment
or consultancy (as the case may be), I will not engage in any other business
activity which is related to the Company's business or its actual or
demonstrably anticipated business.

      6.    As a matter of record, I attach hereto as Exhibit A a complete list
of all Inventions (including patent applications and patents) relevant to the
subject matter of my employment or consultancy which have been made, conceived,
developed or first reduced to practice by me, alone or jointly with others,
prior to my employment or consultancy (as the case may be) with the Company that
I desire to remove from the operation of this Agreement, and I covenant that
such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, I
represent that I have no such Inventions at the time of signing this Agreement.
If in the course of my employment or consultancy with the Company, I use or
incorporate into a product or process an Invention not covered by Paragraph 5(d)
of this Agreement in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted a
nonexclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license of my
interest to use and sublicense such Invention without restriction of any kind.

      7.    I represent that my execution of this Agreement, my employment or
consultancy (as the case may be) with the Company and my performance of my
proposed duties to the Company in the development of its business will not
violate any obligations I may have to any former employer, or other person or
entity, including any obligations to keep confidential any proprietary or
confidential information of any such employer. I have not entered into, and I
will not enter into, any agreement which conflicts with or would, if performed
by me, cause me to breach this Agreement.

      8.    In the course of performing my duties to the Company, I will not
utilize any proprietary or confidential information of any former employer.

      9.    I agree that this Agreement does not constitute an employment or
consultancy (as the case may be) agreement for a specific duration.

      10.   This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my
employment or consultancy (as the case may be) by the Company and the
obligations hereunder will continue beyond the termination of my employment and
will be binding on my heirs, assigns and legal representatives. This Agreement
is for the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns (including all
subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures and associated companies) and is not
conditioned on my employment for any period of time or compensation arising
therefrom. I agree that the Company is entitled to communicate any obligations
under this Agreement to any future or prospective employer of mine or business
retaining me as a consultant.

      11.   During the term of my employment or consultancy (as the case may be)
and for one (1) year thereafter, I will not, without the Company's written
consent, directly or indirectly be employed or involved with any business
developing or exploiting any products or services that are competitive with
products or services (a) being commercially developed or exploited by the
Company during my employment or consultancy (as the case may be)

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

and (b) on which I worked or about which I learned Proprietary Information
during my employment or consultancy (as the case may be) with the Company.
During the term of my employment or consultancy (as the case may be) and for one
year thereafter I shall not directly or indirectly contact, solicit, induce, or
attempt to induce any customer or identified prospective customer, vendor,
business relation or contractor of the Company for the purposes of diverting
sales from the Company, terminating such person or entity's relationship with
the Company, or diminishing in any respect the business being done by the
Company with such person or entity.

      12.   During the term of my employment or consultancy (as the case may be)
and for one (1) year thereafter, I will not personally or through others
recruit, solicit or induce in any way any employee, advisor or consultant of the
Company to terminate his or her relationship with the Company.

      13.   I acknowledge that any violation of this Agreement by me will cause
irreparable injury to the Company and I agree that the Company will be entitled
to extraordinary relief in court, including, but not limited to, temporary
restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without
the necessity of posting a bond or other security and without prejudice to any
other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this
Agreement.

      14. I agree that any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this
Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further
agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be
unenforceable under applicable Washington law, such provision(s) shall be
modified solely to the extent necessary to render the same enforceable and the
balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with such provision as
modified and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
