                                LEASE AGREEMENT
                              (Multi-Tenant Form)
                                  (CONTINUED)

     If Tenant occupies the Premise before Commencement Date specified in
     Section 1(b), tenant shall pay a pro rated rent on the space occupied. If
     Landlord acts diligently to make the Premises available to tenant, 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 possess of
     the Premises to Tenant as provided in this Lease. The termination Date
     shall be modified upon any change in the commencement Date so that the
     length of the Lease term is not changed. If Landlord does not deliver
     possession of the Premises to Tenant within 60 days (60 if not completed)
     after the date specified in Section 1(b), Tenant may elect to cancel this
     Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within 10 days after such time
     period ends. If Tenant gives such notice, the Lease shall be canceled, all
     prepaid rent and security deposits shall be refunded to tenant, and neither
     Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to the other. The
     first "Lease Year" shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on
     the date which is twelve (12) months from the end of the month in which the
     Commencement Date occurs. Each successive Lease Year during the initial
     term and any extension terms shall be twelve (12) months, commencing on the
     first day following the end of the preceding Lease Year, except that the
     last Lease Year shall end on the Termination Date.


     b.   Tenant Obligations.  To the extent Tenant's tenant improvements are
     not completed in time for the Tenant to occupy or take possess of the
     Premises on the Commencement Date due to the failure of Tenant to fulfill
     any of its obligations under this Lease, the Lease shall nevertheless
     commence on the Commencement Date.

     Except as specified elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord makes no
     representations or warranties to Tenant regarding the Premises, including
     the structural condition of the Premises and the condition of all
     mechanical, electrical, and other systems on the Premises. Except for any
     tenant improvements described on attached Exhibit C to be completed by
     Landlord (defined therein as "Landlord's Work"), Tenant shall be
     responsible for performing any work necessary to bring the Premises into
     condition satisfactory to Tenant. By signing this Lease, Tenant
     acknowledges that it has had adequate opportunity to investigate the
     Premises, acknowledges responsibility for making any corrections,
     alterations and repairs to the Premises (Other than the Landlord's Work),
     and acknowledges that the time needed to complete any such items shall not
     delay the Commencement Date.

     Attached Exhibit C sets forth all Landlord's Work, if any, and all tenant
     improvements to be completed by Tenant ("Tenant's Work"), which is to be
     performed on the Premises. Responsibilities for design, payment and
     performance of all such work shall be as set forth on attached Exhibit C.
     If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of any defects in the Landlord's Work
     within ten (10) days of delivery of possession to Tenant, Tenant shall be
     deemed to have accepted the Premises in their then condition. If Tenant
     discovers any major defects in the Landlord's Work during this 10-day
     period that would prevent Tenant from using the Premises for its intended
     purposes, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing and the Commencement
     Date shall be delayed until after Landlord has corrected the major defects
     and Tenant has had five (5) days to inspect and approve the Premises after
     Landlord's correction of such defects. The Commencement Date shall not be
     delayed if Tenant's inspection reveals minor defects in the Landlord's Work
     that will not prevent Tenant from using the Premises for their intended
     purpose. Tenant shall prepare a punch list of all minor defects and provide
     the punch list to Landlord. Landlord shall promptly correct all punch list
     items.

4.   RENT.  Tenant shall pay Landlord without demand, deduction or offset, in
     lawful money of the United States, the monthly rental stated in Section
     1(d) in advance on or before the first day of each month during the Lease
     Term beginning on (check one): [X] the Commencement Date, or [ ] __________
     (specify, but if no date specified, then on the Commencement Date), and any
     other additional payments due to Landlord, including Operating Costs
     (collectively the "Rent") when required under this Lease. Payments for any
     partial month at the beginning or end of the Lease term shall be prorated.

     If any sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are not received
     by the fifth (5th) day of each month, Tenant shall pay Landlord in addition
     to the amount due, for the cost of collecting and handling such late
     payment, an amount equal to the greater of $100 or five percent (5%) of the
     delinquent amount. In addition, all delinquent sums payable by Tenant to
     landlord and not paid within five days of the due date shall, at Landlord's
     option, bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, or the
     highest rate of interest allowable by law, whichever is less. Interest on
     all delinquent amounts shall be calculated from the original due date to
     the date of payment.

     Landlord's acceptance of less than the full amount of any payment due from
     tenant shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction or compromise of such

     guarantees from acceptable parties of equal strength are given, the letter
     of credit may be removed, the decision of which shall not be unreasonably

     shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor by Landlord,
     deposit with Landlord the amount so applied. Any payment to Landlord from
     the security deposit shall not be construed as a payment of liquidated
     damages for any default. If Tenant complies with all of the covenants and
     conditions of this Lease throughout the Lease term, the security deposit
     shall be repaid to Tenant without interest within 30 days after the
     vacation of the Premises by Tenant.

                                  (CONTINUED)

     be a reasonable period of time as determined by Landlord); and costs of
     legal services (except those incurred directly relating to a particular
     occupant of the Building); accounting services, labor, supplies, materials
     and tools. Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Building is not ninety
     percent (90%) occupied during any calendar year, on a monthly average, then
     the Operating Costs shall be increased to reflect the Operating Costs of
     the Building as though it were ninety percent (90%) occupied and Tenant's

     costs of operating, repairing, and maintaining the enclosed mall which can

     lighting; parking lot, road, sidewalk and driveway patching, resurfacing
     and maintenance; snow and ice removal; and costs of legal services and

     b.   Method of Payment: Pure Triple Net/Expense Stop Options.  OPTIONS ONE
     AND TWO ADDRESS THE MANNER IN WHICH OPERATING COSTS ARE PAID UNDER THIS
     LEASE. TO SELECT THE PURE TRIPLE NET OPTION, CHECK OPTION 1. TO SELECT THE
     EXPENSE STOP OPTION, CHECK OPTION 2.

     [ ] OPTION ONE: TRIPLE NET.  As additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to
     Landlord on the first of each month with payment of Tenant's base Rent one-
     twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs.

     [X] OPTION TWO: EXPENSE STOP.  The base Rent paid by Tenant under this
     Lease includes Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for the year in
     which the Commencement Date occurs. As additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to
     Landlord on the first day of each month commencing on the first day of the
     year after the year in which the Commencement Date occurs, with Tenant's
     payment of base Rent, one-twelfth of the amount, if any, by which Tenant's
     Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs exceeds the actual base year 2000
     operating costs determined on the basis of square footage of rentable area
     of the building (the "Expense Stop"). For example, if actual base year 2000
     operating costs of the Building are $5.00 per square foot, Tenant would pay
     as additional rent the amount by which successive year Operating Costs
     exceed $5.00 per square foot, paid as set forth in section (c) fellow.

     c.   Method of Payment.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord Operating Costs as
     provided above pursuant to the following procedure:

     i)   Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at or before the Commencement Date,
     a good faith estimate of annual Operating Costs for the calendar year in
     which the Commencement Date occurs. Landlord shall also provide to Tenant,
     as soon as possible following the first day of each succeeding calendar
     year, a good faith estimate of Tenant's annual Pro Rata Share of Operating
     Costs for the then-current year;

     (ii) Each estimate of Tenant's annual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs
     determined by Landlord as described above, shall be divided into twelve
     (12) equal monthly installments. If Tenant pays Operating Costs under
     Option One, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such monthly installment of
     Operating costs with each monthly payment of base Rent. If Tenant pays
     Operating Costs under Option Two, Tenant shall pay to Landlord with each
     monthly payment of base Rent the amount, if any, by which such monthly
     installments of Operating Costs exceed one twelfth of the Expense Stop
     multiplied by the agreed are of the Premises. In the event the estimated
     amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs has not yet been
     determined for 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 than 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;
     and

                                  (CONTINUED)

     (iii) 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 "Operating Costs Statement") setting forth the amount of
Operating Costs actually incurred and the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Operating Costs actually payable by Tenant with respect to such calendar year.

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 Operating Costs Statement. In the event the sum of such
installments exceeds the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs
actually due and owing, the different shall be applied as a credit to Tenant's

to be provided by Landlord as described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Tenant's use of the Premises incurs utility service charges which are above
ordinary usage, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to pay a
reasonable additional charge for such usage. For example, where Tenant installs
and uses a number of electronic devices which is greater than normal, the
increased usage may result in higher electrical charges and increased charges
for cooling since overheating of rooms may result.

10.  TAXES.  Tenant shall pay all taxes, assessments, liens and license fees
("Taxes") 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.

including any Taxes resulting from a reassessment of the Building or the Project
due to a change of ownership or otherwise, which shall be included in Operating
Costs.

that are provided and designated from time to time by Landlord for the general
non-exclusive use and convenience of Tenant with other tenants and which are not

but do not necessarily include, hallways, entryways, stairs, elevators,
driveways, walkways, terraces, docks, loading areas, restrooms, trash

any common areas, erect improvements on the Common Areas or convert any portion
of the Common Areas to the exclusive use of Landlord or selected tenants, so
long as Tenant is not thereby deprived of the substantial benefit of the
Premises. Landlord reserves the use of exterior walls and the roof, and the
right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, and
wires leading through the Premises in areas which will not materially interfere
with Tenant's use thereof.

     b.   Use of the Common Areas.  Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right in
common wich such other tenants to whom Landlord has granted or may grant such
rights to use the Common Areas. Tenant shall abide by rules and regulations
adopted by Landlord from time to time and shall use its best efforts to cause
its employees, contractors, and invitees to comply with those rules and
regulations and not interfere with the use of Common Areas by others.

     c.   Maintenance of Common Areas.  Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas

                                  (CONTINUED)

12.  ALTERATIONS.  Tenant may make alterations, additions, or improvements to
     the Premises, including any Tenant's Work identified on attached Exhibit C
     ("Alterations"), with the prior written consent of Landlord. The term
     "Alterations" shall not include the installation of shelves, movable
     partitions, Tenant's equipment, and trade fixtures which may be performed
     without damaging existing improvements or the structural integrity of the
     Premises, and Landlord's consent shall not be required for Tenant's

     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 other tenants. Landlord shall be deemed the owner of all Alterations
     except for 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.

13.  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 safe
     and in good condition, including all utilities and other systems serving
     the Premises. Landlord shall maintain and repair the Building structure,
     foundation, exterior walls, and roof, and the Common Areas, the cost of
     which shall be included as an Operating Costs. Tenant shall not damage any
     demising wall or disturb the structural integrity of the Premises and shall
     promptly repair any damage or injure 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.

     Upon expiration of the Lease term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise,
     Tenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises, together with
     all keys, 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.

14.  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. 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

     and shall repair any injury or damage to the Premises caused by such
     installation or removal.

16.  DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION.

     a.   Damage and Repair.  If the Premises or the portion of the Property
     necessary for Tenant's occupancy 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 or
     the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant's occupancy shall not be
     deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25)%) of each of
     those areas are damaged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have
     no obligation to restore the Premises or the portion of the Property
     necessary for Tenant's occupancy 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, portion of the Property necessary for Tenant's occupancy,
     or 50% or more of the rentable area of the Property are entirely destroyed,
     or partially damaged and rendered untenantable, by fire or other

                                LEASE AGREEMENT
                              (Multi-Tenant Form)
                                  (CONTINUED)

     casualty, Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease as provided
     herein, or (b) restore the Premises and the portion of the Property
     necessary for Tenant's occupancy to their previous condition; provided,
     however, if such casualty event occurs during the last 6 months of the
     Lease term (after considering any option to extend the term timely
     exercised by Tenant) 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 or the Property under this Section 16(a),
     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 to 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 as
     provided in Exhibit C or on Tenant's furniture or on any fixtures,
     equipment, improvements paid for by Tenant or as provided in Exhibit C 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, the portion of the Property necessary
     for Tenant's occupancy, or 50% or more of the rentable area of the Property
     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 or the
     portion of the Property necessary for Tenant's occupancy that does not
     render those areas 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 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 or the portion of the Property
     necessary for Tenant's occupancy shall not be deemed untenantable if less
     than twenty-five percent (25%) of each of those areas are condemned.
     Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the condemning
     authority attributable to the value of the Premises or the Property and
     Tenant shall make no claim for the value of is 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.

17.  INSURANCE.

     a.   Liability Insurance.  During the Lease term, Tenant shall pay for and
     maintain commercial general liability insurance with broad and 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
     $1,000,000, and a deductible of not more than $5,500. The insurance will be
     noncontributory with any liability insurance carried by Landlord.

     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

                             (Multi-Tenant Form)
                                  (CONTINUED)

    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. The cost of
    any such insurance may be included in the Operating Costs by 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
    and Project shall be included in the Operating Costs. 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.

    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.

18. INDEMNIFICATION.  Tenant shall defend, indemnify, 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 indemnify 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, licenses, agents, servant, 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.

19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  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 shall not be unreasonable
    withheld or delayed. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under
    this Lease notwithstanding Landlord's consent to such transfer. Consent to
    any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for Landlord's
    consent to any subsequent Transfer.

    If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other
    entity, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, redemption or
    liquidation, or any change(s) in the ownership of, or power to vote, which
    singularly or collectively represents a majority of the beneficial interest
    in Tenant, shall constitute a Transfer under this Section.

    sublessee 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.

20. LIENS.  Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens created by or
    through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
    liability from any such liens including, without limitation, liens arising
    from any Alterations. 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 surely 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).

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

<PAGE>

                                LEASE AGREEMENT
                              (Multi-Tenant Form)
                                  (CONTINUED)

    this Lease following five (5) days written notice from Landlord of the
    failure to pay.

    b.  Vacation/Abandonment. Tenant vacates the Premises (defined as an absence
    for at least 15 consecutive days without prior notice to Landlord), or
    Tenant abandons the Premises (defined as an absence of five (5) days or more
    while Tenant is in breach of some other term of this Lease). Tenant's
    vacation or abandonment of the Premises shall not be subject to any notice
    or right to cure.

    c.  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.

    d.  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, if such attachment is not discharged within 15 days
    after being levied.

    e.  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.

    f.  Failure to Take Possession. Tenant fails to take possession of the
    Premises on the Commencement Date.

22. REMEDIES.

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

    b.  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


<PAGE>

                                LEASE AGREEMENT
                              (Multi-Tenant Form)
                                  (CONTINUED)

    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
    Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated
    as if they were payments of Rent, and Landlord shall have all the rights
    herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent.

    e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property
    from the Premises at Landlord's request following an uncured Event of
    Default, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store the property at
    Tenant's expense and risk. If Tenant does not pay the storage cost within
    five (5) days of Landlord's request, Landlord may, as its option, have any
    or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord may
    become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Landlord deems proper,
    without notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale:
    (i) to the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees
    actually incurred; (ii) to the payment of the costs or charges for storing
    such property; (iii) to the payment of any other sums of money which may
    then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms
    hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any, to Tenant. Nothing in this Section
    shall limit Landlord's right to sell Tenant's personal property as
    permitted by law to foreclose Landlord's lien for unpaid rent.

23. MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease shall automatically be
    subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created by Landlord which is
    now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances,
    interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions ("Landlord's
    Mortgage"), provided the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage or any person(s)
    acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such
    Landlord's Mortgage shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and
    effect. Tenant shall attorn to the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage or any
    person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any
    Landlord's Mortgage provided such person(s) assume the obligations of
    Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall promptly and in no event later than
    fifteen (15) days execute, acknowledge and deliver documents which the
    holder of any Landlord's Mortgage may reasonably require as further evidence
    of this subordination and attornment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the base monthly rental stated in the Lease, which shall be increased or
decreased to the amount of fair market rental for the Premises. If Landlord and
Tenant are not able to agree on the amount of fair market rental within thirty
(30) days after the date Tenant exercises its extension option in each case,
then the parties shall submit the determination of the fair market rental value
of the Premises to binding arbitration. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to
agree upon a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their agreement to
arbitrate the dispute, then during the following ten (10) day period, Landlord
and Tenant shall each designate an expert, who shall be a licensed MIA appraiser
or a commercial real estate agent with at least five (5) years experience in the
commercial leasing market in which the Premises are located. The two experts so
selected shall appoint an arbitrator similarly qualified, whose determination of
fair market rental value shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party
shall bear their own expenses of the arbitration except that the cost of the
arbitrator shall be paid by the party whose final offer of fair market rent
during the thirty (30) day negotiation period is farthest from the amount
determined by the arbitrator.

                      Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement

        This Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement ("Amendment") is made this 26th
day of October, 2000, by and between Howe/Horizon Holdings, LLC ("Landlord"),
and Insynq, Inc., a corporation ("Tenant").

        RECITALS: Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease dated January 3,
2000, covering the Premises described as the 2nd through 6th floors of the
building commonly known as 1101 Broadway Plaza, Tacoma, Washington 98402 (the
"Building"). Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to delete the 4th
through 6th floors of the Building from the Premises. All defined terms used in
this Amendment No. 1, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings given to
them in the Lease.

        NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

        1.  This Amendment and all of the changes to the Lease Agreement set
forth herein shall be effective as of November 1, 2000, unless otherwise
expressly stated herein.

        2.  Section 1.a. of the Lease is amended to provide that the Premises
shall consist of an agreed area of 6,629 rentable square feet. The Premises are
outlined on the floor plans for the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Building attached
to this Amendment as Exhibit A.

        3.  Section 1.c. of the Lease is amended to read:

        c.  Lease Termination Date. The Lease shall terminate at midnight on
        October 31, 2002, or such earlier or later date as provided in Section 3
        (the "Termination Date").

        4.  Section 1.f. of the Lease is amended to read:

        f.  Security Deposit. The original amount of the Security Deposit was
        $153,343.75. The Security Deposit is reduced to $50,000. The difference,
        being the sum of $103,343.75, shall be retained by Landlord free of any
        claim by Tenant.

        5.  Section 1.i. of the Lease is amended to provide that Tenant's Pro
        Rata Share is 28.02%.

        6.  Section 5 of the Lease is amended by deleting the second, third and
        fourth sentences of such Section which are typed in italicized capital
        letters in such Section.

        7.  Section 8.b. of the Lease is amended to read:

        b.  Method of Payment: As additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
        on the first day of each month with payment of Tenant's base Rent
        one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs. Operating
        Costs shall not exceed (i) $5.50 times the number of square feet of
        space in the Building during the period from November 1, 2000 to October
        31, 2001, and (ii) $6.00 times the number of square feet of space in the
        Building during






                                       1








<PAGE>

        the period from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2002. In other words,
        Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs as if Option
        One; Triple Net had been selected in Section 8.b of the Lease as it read
        prior to this Amendment.

        8.  Exhibit A to the Lease is replaced with Exhibit A to this Amendment.

        9.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has fulfilled all of its
obligations under Exhibit C captioned Tenant Improvement Schedule, except that
Landlord has not provided Tenant with the $50,000 Tenant Improvement Allowance
described in the paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH FLOORS" of Exhibit C. The
paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH FLOORS" of Exhibit C is hereby deleted.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of the paragraph captioned "FIFTH & SIXTH
FLOORS" of Exhibit C and agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility to
provide the $50,000 Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant. Any other provisions
of the Lease requiring Landlord to construct any tenant improvements in the
Premises after the date of this Amendment or to provide Tenant with any
allowances for tenant improvements in the Premises after the date of this
Amendment are hereby deleted and shall be null and void as of the date of this
Amendment.

        10. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has fulfilled all of its
obligations under Exhibit D captioned Landlord Penalty and that Exhibit D is
hereby deleted.

        11. Paragraph 1 of the Rent Rider is amended to read:

        1.  Base Monthly Rent Schedule. Tenant shall pay Landlord base monthly
        rent during the Lease Term according to the following schedule:

                     Lease Year              Base Monthly Rent Amount

        November 1, 2000 - October 31, 2001  $7,733.83, plus Triple Net charges

        November 1, 2001 - October 31, 2002  $7,733.83, plus Triple Net charges,
                                             plus Consumer Price Index
                                             Adjustment as set forth below.

        Triple Net charges are estimated to be $3,038.29 per month during the
period from November 1, 2000 - October 31, 2001, which is the First Lease Year.

        12. The sentence following paragraph 2 of the Rent Rider is amended to
read:

        * The actual adjustment to be made pursuant to the Consumer Price Index
        Adjustment as set forth above shall not be less than 3% per year or more
        than 6% per year. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the
        geographical Statistical Area in which the Premises is located is
        currently designated "Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton". By way of example, if
        the CPI for October, 2000 was 180 and the CPI for October 2001 was 187,
        then the base monthly rent amount would be $8,034.59 computed as
        follows: $7,733.83 x 187/180 = $8,034.59.


<PAGE>

     13. The first sentence of the checked paragraph of the Parking Rider is
amended to read:

     Tenant and its customers shall be entitled to seven (7) parking stalls in
     the designated shared parking areas for the Property at no charge.

     14. The first two sentences of the Option to Extend Rider is amended to
read:

     Provided Tenant is not in default at the time of exercise or upon the
     commencement of any extension term, Tenant shall have one (1) option to
     extend the term of this Lease for a period of three (3) years. Tenant shall
     exercise this option (if at all) by delivering notice to Landlord not less
     than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then
     current Lease term, time being of the essence.

     15. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right, at its option, to expand
the Premises to include 840 square feet of space in the basement of the Building
as outlined on the attached Exhibit B (the "Expansion Space") by giving Landlord
notice (the "Expansion Notice") on or before December 30, 2000 (the "Expansion
Space Notice Date"). If Tenant gives the Expansion Notice on or before the
Expansion Space Notice Date, then as of January 1, 2001, the Expansion Space
shall be added to the Premises. Tenant shall take the Expansion Space in its "AS
IS" condition. Tenant, at its cost, shall install and pay for any improvements
to the Expansion Space desired by Tenant, including a heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning system, any floor coverings, wall finishes, lighting or other
improvements. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (i) copies of all proposed
contracts for such improvements, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Landlord of
Tenant's ability to pay the cost of installation of such improvements not less
than ten (10) days before commencing installation of any such improvements.
Tenant shall not commence the installation of any such improvements until
Landlord has approved such contracts and evidence of payment ability.
Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be
required to furnish any utilities other than electricity or any services to the

an electric meter (including, without limitation, any additional wiring, conduit
or panel required therefor) to measure the electricity consumed by Tenant in the
Expansion Space. If Tenant fails to give the Expansion Notice on or before the
Expansion Space Notice Date, then this option to expand shall immediately
terminate as to the Expansion Space, and Landlord shall be free to lease the
Expansion Space, or portions thereof, to third parties.
