Tenant exercises Tenant's Repair Election, then Operating Expenses reimbursed by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 6 shall not include costs for work
performed, and/or services provided, by Tenant from and after the effective date
of Tenant's Repair Election.

3. TERM. The term of this Lease ("Term") will be for the period designated in
Section 0, commencing on the Commencement Date, plus any extensions of the Term
pursuant to any provision of this Lease or any future amendment of this Lease.
Once the Commencement Date occurs, the Parties, and the request of either party,
shall sign a written confirmation of the Commencement Date.

4. POSSESSION.

(a) DELIVERY OF POSSESSION. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver possession of the Premises (and keys thereto) to Tenant, with the
Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete, on or before the Target Delivery
Date. Notwithstanding any entry, use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant
prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall not have any obligation to pay
Monthly Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments or
Utilities Costs until the Commencement Date, at which time such obligations
shall begin to accrue.

(b) CONDITION OF PREMISES. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant
that the Premises, the Building (including without limitation all Building
systems) and all Exterior Areas, as of the date Landlord delivers possession of
the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete,
shall be (i) in material compliance with all applicable Laws in effect as of the
date of this Lease, including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act and all related state and local access laws, regulations and
requirements (the "ADA"), local building codes and local fire/life/safety codes,
and (ii) in good and working order. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense,
shall be responsible for correcting (x) any latent defects in the structural
portions of the Building, (y) any breaches of Landlord's covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in this Section or elsewhere in this
Lease or the Work Letter. Subject to Landlord's covenants imposed by this
Section 4(b), elsewhere in this Lease and the Work Letter, Tenant shall accept
the Premises in its "as is" condition upon delivery by Landlord.

(c) DELAYS IN DELIVERY. If the Commencement Date has not occurred by December
19, 2005, then the Commencement Date may not occur until on or after January 9,
2006. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before February 1, 2006,
then Landlord shall pay to Tenant "DELAY DAMAGES" equal to the "holdover amount"
payable by Tenant to the landlord under Tenant's lease in the Bothell

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

North Creek area ("CURRENT SPACE"). The "holdover amount" shall mean (i) the
difference between (A) the monthly base rental rate (on a per rentable square
foot basis) paid by Tenant to its landlord for the use of the Current Space
after February 1, 2006 and (B) the monthly base rental rate (on a per rentable
square foot basis) paid by Tenant to its landlord for the use of the Current
Space immediately prior to the scheduled expiration date of Tenant's lease of
the Current Space, multiplied by (ii) the number of rentable square feet of the
Current Space. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before June 1,
2006, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Landlord of such intent to terminate, and if the Commencement
Date has not occurred on or before the expiration of such ten (10) day period,
this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall retain a claim against Landlord for
damages constituting Tenant's actual costs incurred in connection with this
Lease and/or as a result of Landlord's failure to achieve Substantial Completion
by June 1, 2006, (Landlord shall not in any event be liable for lost revenues,
profits, or business opportunities, or incidental or consequential damages of
any kind). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the February 1 and the June 1 dates in
this Section 4(c) shall be extended on a day for day basis for Permit Delays (as
defined in the Work Letter) in accordance with the Work Letter.

5. RENT.

(a) MONTHLY BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Monthly Base Rent for
the Premises in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term
without prior notice or demand. If the Term of this Lease commences on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rent for such period will
be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect
during such period bears to the number of days in such month. The obligation to
pay Rent is absolute and unconditional, and shall not at any time be subject to
offset, discount, or reduction of any kind whatsoever, except as specifically
provided in this Lease.

(b) LATE PAYMENTS. Late payments of Monthly Base Rent and/or any item of
additional rent will be subject to interest and a late charge as provided in
Section 20(d) below.

(c) ABATEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
in the event Tenant's use of all or a material part of the Building is
materially impaired, for any reason other than the acts or omissions of Tenant
or any of the Tenant Parties, such that the disruption materially and adversely
interferes with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Building for three (3)
consecutive business days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord or ten
(10) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord in any twelve (12) month
period (such three (3) consecutive business day period or ten (10) day period
after written notice from Tenant to Landlord, as applicable, is referred to
herein as the "Eligibility Period"), due to (i) an interruption of utility or
mechanical services to the Building (A) caused by the negligence or misconduct
of a Landlord Party, or (B) which is covered by Landlord's rental loss insurance
policy, (ii) an inability to access the Building or Parking Areas (A) due to
actions of a Landlord Party, or (B) which is covered by Landlord's rental loss
insurance policy, (iii) the performance of repairs, maintenance or other work
required to be made to the Building which are the responsibility of Landlord
under this Lease or which otherwise are performed by or on behalf of Landlord,
and/or (iv) Landlord's failure to perform repairs, maintenance or other work
required to be made to the Building which are the responsibility of Landlord
under this Lease or which otherwise are performed by or on behalf of Landlord,
then Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Monthly Base Rent
under this Lease based upon the portion of the Building affected thereby
(provided that if the operation of Tenant's business from the remainder of the
Building not affected thereby is not reasonably practicable under the
circumstances and Tenant in fact does not operate for business from the
remainder of the Building, all Monthly Base Rent (but not additional rent) under
this Lease shall be subject to such abatement) from the commencement of the
Eligibility Period until the applicable material impairment is cured. The
provisions of this Section 5(d) shall not, however, apply in the event of a
casualty governed by the provisions of Section 18 below or in the event of a
taking or condemnation governed by the provisions of Section 19 below. No
abatement of rent shall apply to any portion of the Building which is not
physically occupied and actually used by the Tenant during the Eligibility
Period.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

(d) ABATED MONTHLY BASE RENT. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant's installments of Monthly Base Rent (but not any additional
rent or other payments or amounts due) for the first eight (8) full calendar
months of the Term shall be abated in full.

6. OPERATING EXPENSES; REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; UTILITIES COSTS.

(a) COVENANT TO PAY. In addition to Monthly Base Rent, commencing on the
Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent in
accordance with the terms of this Section 6, determined on an annual basis, but
payable monthly as provided herein, Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and
Utilities Costs attributable to the Premises. "Operating Expenses," "Real
Property Taxes and Assessments," and "Utilities Costs" shall have the meanings
set forth in Exhibit "C" hereto.

(b) ESTIMATE STATEMENT. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and from time to
time thereafter during the Term of this Lease, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a
statement ("Estimate Statement") wherein Landlord will estimate some or all of
the Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs
attributable to the Premises for the then current calendar year. Tenant agrees
to pay Landlord, as additional rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated
Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Utilities Costs
pursuant to the most recently delivered Estimate Statement each month
thereafter, beginning with the next installment of rent due, until such time as
Landlord issues a revised Estimate Statement; except that, (i) concurrently with
the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of each such
revised Estimate Statement, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an amount equal to one
monthly installment of any amounts by which the revised Estimate Statement
exceeds the prior Estimate Statement (less any applicable Operating Expenses,
Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and/or Utilities Costs already paid)
multiplied by the number of months from the beginning of the applicable calendar
year to the month of such rent payment next due, all months inclusive, (ii)
Landlord shall not provide Tenant with revised Estimate Statements more than one
time in any calendar year of the Term, and (iii) if Landlord delivers a revised
Estimate Statement later than the twentieth (20th) day of a calendar month, then
such revised Estimate Statement shall not be effective until the first day of
the second calendar month after delivery.

(c) RECONCILIATION STATEMENT. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end
of each calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord will deliver to
Tenant a statement ("Reconciliation Statement") which states the actual amounts
incurred by Landlord for Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and
Assessments, and Utilities Costs for the preceding calendar year. If the
Reconciliation Statement reveals that the actual Operating Expenses, Real
Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs are more than the total
additional rent paid by Tenant for Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and
Assessments, and Utilities Costs on account of the preceding calendar year,
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference in a lump sum within thirty (30)
days of receipt of the Reconciliation Statement. If the Reconciliation Statement
reveals that the actual Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments,
and Utilities Costs are less than the additional rent paid by Tenant for
Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs on
account of the preceding calendar year, Landlord will credit any overpayment
toward the next monthly installments of Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes
and Assessments, and Utilities Costs due under this Lease; provided however, if
such excess exceeds $10,000 or this Lease has expired or terminated, Landlord
will promptly refund any such overpayment to Tenant.

(d) MISCELLANEOUS. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of the actual Operating Expenses,
Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Utilities Costs for the year in which
this Lease terminates (which shall occur if at all within 120 days of the
expiration of the calendar year in which Lease termination occurs), Tenant
agrees to promptly pay any increase due over the estimated amounts paid and,
conversely, any overpayment made in the event said amounts decrease shall
promptly be rebated by Landlord to Tenant or offset against the Monthly Base
Rent coming due pursuant to this Lease. Such obligation will be a continuing one
which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

<PAGE>

(e) AUDIT RIGHTS. Tenant and its duly authorized representatives or any
certified public accountant selected by Tenant shall have the right to audit the
records of Landlord related to Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and
Assessments and Utilities Costs. Any such audit shall be performed, if at all,
within six (6) months after receipt of the applicable Reconciliation Statement
for a calendar year. Any audit hereunder shall be upon not less then ten (10)
days' prior written notice to Landlord, during normal business hours at the
Building. Tenant may review and photocopy, at Tenant's expense, reasonable
documentation supporting Operating Expense, Real Property Tax and Assessment and
Utilities Cost items under review. If Tenant's Percentage of actual Operating
Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Utilities Costs are determined
to have been overstated by Landlord for any calendar year in excess of one
percent (1%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of
Tenant's audit within thirty (30) days following Tenant's submission to Landlord
of reasonable evidence of the amount of such costs; provided, however, that such
reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the overcharge. Tenant's payment of
Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Utilities Costs in
accordance with Landlord's Estimate Statements or Reconciliation Statements
shall not constitute a waiver of any right to audit and/or dispute such expenses
as set forth herein.

(f) CONTROLLABLE OPERATING EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or
Exhibit "C" attached hereto to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable to
Landlord for any aggregate increase in Controllable Operating Expenses (defined
below) in excess of four percent (4%) over the Controllable Operating Expenses
paid in the prior calendar year, with such excess to be borne by Landlord at
Landlord's sole cost and expense. As used herein, "Controllable Operating
Expenses" shall mean Operating Expenses which can be reasonably controlled by
Landlord and shall not include insurance costs, Real Property Taxes and
Assessments or Utilities Costs. Operating Expenses shall not be deemed to be
"Controllable Operating Expenses" if Landlord exercises reasonable efforts to
obtain competitive bids for the Operating Expense items in question and is not
able to obtain a lower bid from a reasonably qualified contractor or service
provider, for the same quality and quantity of items or services; provided,
however, if Landlord fails to seek bids for an Operating Expense item that is
likely to result in bids of varying prices, or if Landlord bids out work for an
Operating Expense item and Landlord does not select the lowest bid from a
reasonably qualified contractor or service provider, for the same quality and
quantity of items or services, then such Operating Expenses shall be deemed to
be Controllable Operating Expenses.

7. USE.

(a) TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES. The Premises may be used for the use or uses
set forth in Section 1(m) only, and Tenant will not use or permit the Premises
to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.

(b) COMPLIANCE. At Tenant's sole cost and expense, Tenant agrees to procure,

make any alterations, additions or improvements to the systems or structure of
the Building or any areas outside the Premises, which obligation shall be
performed by Landlord at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, Tenant
shall construct the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Work Letter in
compliance with all applicable Laws (including the ADA).

and expense, shall be responsible for the removal of any Hazardous Materials
located in or about the Building or Land as of date that possession of the
Premises is delivered to Tenant, to the extent that removal is required by the
Environmental Laws or to the extent that the presence of such Hazardous

adversely affect Tenant's use and occupancy of the Building pursuant to this
Lease. Except for Permitted Substances, and except as may be in compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws, Landlord agrees not to cause or knowingly permit
any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, handled, generated,

      (v) SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Section 7(c) shall survive the
expiration of earlier termination of this Lease.

8. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery (including delivery by overnight
courier or an express mailing service) or by mail, if sent by registered or

the commissions payable to such brokers in connection with this Lease in

representation of or agreement with Tenant in connection with this Lease. The
foregoing indemnities shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

10. SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER.

(a) SURRENDER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, shall not constitute a merger, and shall, at the
option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases
or subtenancies. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant agrees to peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean, with
data and telecommunications wiring and cabling in place, and in reasonably good
repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted, with
all of Tenant's personal property removed from the Premises and all damage
caused by such removal repaired. The delivery of keys to any employee of
Landlord or to Landlord's agent or any employee thereof alone will not be
sufficient to constitute a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the
Premises.

(b) HOLDING OVER. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the
Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the
express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, Landlord may, at its option, treat Tenant as a
tenant at sufferance only, and such continued occupancy by Tenant shall be
subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, so far as
applicable, except that the Monthly Base Rent for any such

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

holdover period shall be (i) the same Monthly Base Rent in effect under this
Lease immediately prior to such holdover during the first ninety (90) days of
holdover, and (ii) thereafter one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly
Base Rent in effect under this Lease immediately prior to such holdover.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be
liable for any consequential, punitive or other damages caused by the first
ninety (90) days of any holdover, but if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises
within ninety (90) days after the expiration of this Lease in accordance with
the terms of this Section 10(b) despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant
agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from
all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities,
penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees and costs),
including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
returning the Premises to the condition in which Tenant was to surrender it and
claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on or resulting from Tenant's
failure to surrender the Premises. The provisions of this Section 10(b) will
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11. TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY; RENT TAX.

(a) TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY. Tenant agrees to pay before delinquency, all
taxes and assessments (real and personal) levied against any personal property,
trade fixtures or Alterations placed by Tenant in or about the Premises
(including any increase in the assessed value of the Premises based upon the
value of any such personal property or trade fixtures). If any such taxes or
assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, Landlord may,
after written notice to Tenant (and under proper protest if requested by Tenant)
pay such taxes and assessments, in which event Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord all amounts paid by Landlord within ten (10) business days after demand
by Landlord; provided, however, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will have
the right, with Landlord's cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent
jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes and assessments so paid
under protest.

(b) RENT TAX. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, any tax ("RENT
TAX") upon Rent payable under this Lease or any tax or fee in any form payable
by Landlord because of or measured by receipts or income of Landlord derived
from this Lease. The preceding sentence shall not apply to general income tax or
business and occupation tax of Landlord, except to the extent a Rent Tax is
imposed as a business and occupation tax. If a Rent Tax imposed on a monthly
basis as Rent is due, then such Rent Tax shall be payable monthly on the first
day of each calendar month; provided, however, that the first payment shall be
due no sooner than thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, and each
change in the amount due shall require thirty (30) days written notice prior to
the change.

12. ALTERATIONS. After installation of the initial Tenant Improvements for the
Premises pursuant to Exhibit "B", Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make
alterations, additions, improvements and decorations (including, without
limitation, wall coverings, window coverings, floor coverings and other
finishes) to the Premises (collectively, "Alterations") subject to and upon the
following terms and conditions:

(a) PERMITTED ALTERATIONS. Except for Permitted Alterations, Tenant shall not
perform any Alterations in the Premises or the Land without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may without the prior written
consent of Landlord, but upon prior notice to Landlord, replace carpeting, floor
coverings and/or wall coverings; repaint walls; and make other Alterations that
do not (i) materially and adversely affect the Building's structure, equipment,
services or systems, or the proper functioning thereof; (ii) materially and
adversely affect the outside appearance or character of the Building; or (iv)
cost more than the greater of $2.50 per square foot or One Hundred Thousand and
No/100ths Dollars ($100,000.00) per project (exclusive of the cost of carpeting,
painting, floor coverings and/or wall coverings) (collectively, "Permitted
Alterations").

(b) LANDLORD'S APPROVAL. Before proceeding with any Alterations other than
Permitted Alterations, Tenant must first obtain Landlord's written approval of
the plans, specifications and working drawings for such Alterations, which
approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay as long as

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

(i) Tenant delivers to Landlord notice and a copy of any final plans,
specifications and working drawings for any such Alterations at least ten (10)
days prior to commencement of the work thereof, and (ii) the other conditions of
this Section 12 are satisfied. Landlord shall approve or be deemed to have
approved all such requests for approval within twenty (20) days after request
therefor.

(c) CONTRACTORS. Alterations other than Permitted Alterations may be made or
installed only by contractors and subcontractors which have been approved by
Landlord, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or
delay. Before proceeding with any Alterations, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord
with ten (10) days prior written notice and Tenant's contractors must obtain and
maintain, on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and expense all
necessary governmental permits and approvals for the commencement and completion
of such Alterations. Throughout the performance of any Alterations, Tenant
agrees to obtain, or cause its contractors to obtain, workers compensation
insurance and general liability insurance in compliance with the provisions of
Section 17 of this Lease.

(d) MANNER OF PERFORMANCE. All Alterations must be performed: (i) substantially
in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and working drawings (if
applicable); (ii) in a lien-free and first-class and workmanlike manner; and
(iii) in compliance with all applicable permits, laws, statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders and rulings now or hereafter in effect and imposed by
any governmental agencies and authorities having jurisdiction.

(e) OWNERSHIP. The Tenant Improvements and all Alterations will become the
property of Landlord and will remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises
and become the property of the Landlord at the end of the Term of this Lease;
provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice delivered to Tenant
concurrently with Landlord's approval of any Alterations, identify those
Alterations which Landlord will require Tenant to remove at the end of the Term
of this Lease. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove upon termination of the
Lease any initial Tenant Improvements constructed in accordance with the Work
Letter, any Alterations to which Landlord does not require removal in writing
concurrently with its approval of working drawings, or any Permitted
Alterations. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any Alterations pursuant to
this Section, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, agrees to remove the
identified Alterations on or before the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal and
return the Premises back to the substantially the same condition as when
originally received by Landlord, normal wear and tear and casualty excepted.

(f) PERSONAL PROPERTY. All articles of personal property owned by Tenant or
installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (including Tenant's business
and trade fixtures, furniture, movable partitions, raised floors, and equipment
such as telephones and switches, video conference equipment, projectors, copy
machines, computer terminals, wireless network equipment, refrigerators,
supplemental HVAC units and facsimile machines), whether or not attached to the
Building, will be and remain the property of Tenant, and must be removed by
Tenant from the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, on or before the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant agrees to repair any
damage caused by such removal at its cost on or before the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

13. REPAIRS.

(a) LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord agrees to repair and maintain or cause to
be repaired or maintained in a manner consistent with similar office buildings
with similar physical characteristics in King County and Snohomish County,
Washington, but in no event to a lesser standard than described in Exhibit "D"
attached hereto, the structural portions of the Building (including the shell
and core), the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, elevator and
electrical systems for the Building, and all Exterior Areas (excluding the
Tenant Improvements, Alterations, and any improvements and equipment installed
by Tenant), unless such maintenance and repairs are caused by the act, neglect
or omission of any duty by Tenant or the Tenant Parties under this Lease.
Landlord will not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to
perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for ten (10) days (or
24 hours in the case of an emergency) after written notice of the need of such
repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

(b) TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to Landlord's repair and maintenance
obligations under Section 13(a) above and Exhibit "D" attached hereto, Tenant
agrees to keep, maintain and preserve the Premises in good condition and repair
(reasonable wear and tear, damage by casualty event, Landlord's repair and
maintenance obligations under this Lease and/or the negligence or misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord Parties excepted) and, when and if needed, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, to make all repairs to the Premises and every part thereof.
Tenant has no authority to allow any liens to encumber all or any portion of the
Premises, and Tenant agrees to cause any mechanics' liens or other liens arising
as a result of work performed by Tenant or at Tenant's direction to be
eliminated as provided in Section 14 below.

(c) SELF-HELP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
Landlord agrees that if Landlord fails to perform any repair or maintenance
obligation under this Lease which it is obligated to perform within the time
periods set forth in Section 21 below, then Tenant shall be permitted to perform
such obligations on Landlord's behalf in the Premises, provided Tenant first
delivers to Landlord an additional three (3) business days' prior written notice
that Tenant will be performing such obligations, and provided further that
Landlord fails to commence to perform such obligations within such additional
three (3) business day period and diligently prosecute such work to completion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of the unperformed obligation is
such that a bona fide emergency involving an immediate and imminent danger to
life, health or property or material interference with Tenant's business exists,
the foregoing time periods and those set forth in Section 21 shall be reasonably
reduced based upon such emergency circumstances. All contractors engaged by
Tenant pursuant to this Section 13(c) shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable
approval, and Landlord agrees to approve or reject any contractor proposed to be
used by Tenant within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of Tenant's second
notice, provided that if a proposed contractor is licensed and reputable, and
all requisite permits have been obtained for the desired work, then Landlord
shall be deemed to have given its approval of the proposed contractor. Any work
performed by Tenant, and the obligations of Landlord, pursuant to this Section
13(c) shall be subject to the terms of Section 21 below.

14. LIENS. Tenant has no authority to allow any liens to encumber all or any
portion of the Premises. Tenant agrees not to permit any mechanic's,
materialmen's or other liens to be filed against all or any part of the Land,
the Building or the Premises, nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the
Premises, by reason of or in connection with any repairs, alterations,
improvements or other work contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any other
act or omission of Tenant or the Tenant Parties. Landlord will have the right at
all reasonable times to post on the Premises and record any notices of
non-responsibility which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If
any such liens are filed, Tenant will, at its sole cost, promptly cause such
liens to be released of record or removed by posting a bond in compliance with
RCW 60.04.161 so that they no longer affects title to the Land, the Building or
the Premises.

15. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its employees and agents will at all times
have the right to enter the Building as reasonably necessary to provide the
janitorial services pursuant to Exhibit "D" attached hereto (such service shall
be scheduled for outside of Normal Building Hours - "NORMAL BUILDING HOURS" for
the Building shall be 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday;
and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturdays) and, upon at least forty-eight (48) hours'
prior written notice (except in cases of emergency) to Tenant, to (i) inspect
the Premises, perform maintenance, repairs and other obligations required to be
performed by Landlord under this Lease, (ii) show the Premises to prospective
purchasers and prospective lenders and/or, (iii) during the last nine (9) months
of the term only, show the Premises to prospective tenants. In exercising such
entry rights, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, as
reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business, and will
provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any such entry (except in
emergency situations). Landlord, in exercising its rights under this Lease, (i)
shall not interfere with access to the Premises or Tenant's use and enjoyment of
the Premises, the Parking Areas and/or the Exterior Areas, (ii) shall in no
event have access to Tenant's designated secure area except in the case of an
emergency, and (iii) shall repair, restore and redecorate any damage to the
Premises caused by or at the direction of Landlord in exercising such rights.
Prior notice is not required for Landlord to inspect the Premises outside the
Building.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

16. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Throughout the Term of the Lease so long as the
Premises are occupied, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be
responsible for obtaining directly from the utility providers all utilities to
the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, sewer, water, natural
gas, telephone, and cable (collectively the "UTILITIES"). Landlord (as an
Operating Expense) agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished only those
utilities and services described in the Standards for Services attached hereto
as Exhibit "D", subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards
set forth therein.

17. INSURANCE.

(a) TENANT'S INSURANCE. On or before the earlier to occur of (i) the
Commencement Date, or (ii) the date Tenant commences any work of any type in the
Premises pursuant to this Lease (which may be prior to the Commencement Date),
and continuing throughout the entire Term hereof and any other period of
occupancy, Tenant agrees to keep in full force and effect, at its sole cost and
expense, the following insurance:

      (i) "Causes of Loss - Special Form" (or, if not available at any time,
then the broadest form available at such time) property insurance including at
least the following perils: fire and extended coverage, smoke damage, vandalism,
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage. This insurance policy must be upon all
property owned by Tenant and located at the Building including, without
limitation, any Alterations made by or for the Tenant (expressly excluding the
initial Tenant Improvements installed by Tenant per Exhibit "B" which shall be
insured by Landlord as part of its coverage of the Building's shell and core),
and all furniture, fittings, installations, fixtures and any other personal
property of Tenant, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost
thereof.

      (ii) Commercial General Liability Insurance or Comprehensive General
Liability Insurance with an aggregate liability amount not less than $5,000,000
combined single limit for both bodily injury and property damage, including
blanket broad form property damage, personal injury, completed operations,
products liability and host liquor liability (or liquor liability, if
applicable). At least $1,000,000 of such coverage shall be provided by a primary
liability policy, and any balance may be provided by a so-called "umbrella" or
excess liability policy. If such policy is an aggregate liability limit policy,
not less than $5,000,000 of such limit per annum shall be available for claims
originating at the Premises.

      (iii) Workers' Compensation as required by the laws of the State,
including employer's liability at a limit of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000).

(b) SUPPLEMENTAL TENANT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

      (i) All policies must be issued by insurers with a policyholder rating of
"A" and a financial rating of "VIII" in the most recent version of Best's Key
Rating Guide.

      (ii) All policies, except for the workers' compensation coverage required
pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii) above, must contain a requirement that the
insurer will endeavor to notify Landlord (and Landlord's partners, members and
property manager and any mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord who are named
as additional insureds, if any) in writing not less than ten (10) days prior to
any material adverse change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other
termination thereof. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as
practicable after placing the required insurance, but in any event within the
time frame specified in Section 17(a) above, certificate(s) of insurance
evidencing the existence of such insurance (except for the workers' compensation
coverage required pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii) above) and Tenant's compliance
with the provisions of this Section 17. Tenant agrees to cause replacement
certificates to be delivered to Landlord not less than ten (10) days prior to
the expiration of any such policy or policies.

      (iii) General Liability policies under Section 17(a)(ii) must include
policy endorsements naming Landlord (and at Landlord's request, Superior
Mortgagees of which Tenant has been informed in writing) as additional insureds.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

(c) MUTUAL WAIVER OF PARTIES. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive their rights
against each other with respect to any claims or damages or losses which are
caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured against under any insurance
policy (other than the commercial general liability insurance) carried by
Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) pursuant to the provisions of this Lease
and enforceable at the time of such damage or loss, or (b) any occurrence which
would have been covered under any insurance (other than the commercial general
liability insurance) required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord or
Tenant (as the case may be) under this Lease (as applicable) had such insurance
been obtained and maintained as required therein. The foregoing waivers shall be
in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained
in this Lease.

(d) WAIVER OF INSURERS. Each party shall cause each insurance policy (other than
the commercial general liability insurance) required to be obtained by it
pursuant to this Lease to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery
by way of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in
connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If either
party fails to maintain any such insurance required hereunder, such insurance
shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full waiver of subrogation as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) LANDLORD INSURANCE.

      (i) "LANDLORD INSURANCE" shall mean the following: (a) Commercial General
Liability Insurance, including Contractual Liability Insurance coverage,
applicable to the Building and Land, on an occurrence basis, with a minimum
combined single limit of at least $5,000,000; (b) property insurance on the
Building (including Tenant Improvements) and Land (including parking), and
personal property related thereto, with coverage for perils as set forth under
the Causes of Loss - Special Form (or, if not available at any time, then the
broadest form available at such time), with coverage extended for the perils of
flood and earthquake, in an amount equal to full insurable replacement cost, and
with an ordinance and law endorsement, and debris removal coverage; (c) Rent
Loss Insurance for not less than twelve (12) months, and not more than
twenty-four (24) months; and (d) such other coverage as may be required by
Landlord's lender holding a lien against the Building and Land provided that
such insurance coverage is commercially reasonable given the location and
physical characteristics of the Building.

      (ii) If at any time Landlord does not maintain any one or more of the
policies of Landlord Insurance as provided in this Section 17(e), then Tenant
may obtain the policy or policies that are not maintained by Landlord (the
"NON-MAINTAINED POLICY"), at Tenant's expense (including the payment of any
deductibles). If Tenant maintains an insurance policy in replacement of a
Non-maintained Policy, and Landlord subsequently decides to obtain a policy with
such coverage, then Landlord may not charge to Tenant, as an Operating Expense,
the cost of the policy until after thirty (30) days' prior written to Tenant. If
at any time Landlord maintains insurance not included in the definition of
Landlord Insurance, Landlord may not charge to Tenant as an Operating Expense,
the additional cost of such coverage.

(f) BLANKET INSURANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
17, Tenant's obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance required hereunder
may be satisfied by obtaining coverage under so-called blanket and excess
liability policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant provided that
the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason of
the use of such blanket and excess liability policies of insurance and provided
further that the other applicable requirements of this Section 17 are satisfied.

18. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

(a) PARTIAL DESTRUCTION. If the Premises, the Building or the Exterior Areas
(including Parking Areas) are damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent not
exceeding fifty percent (50%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and the
damage thereto may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its
condition immediately prior to such damage within three hundred sixty five (365)
days from the date of such casualty, then Landlord agrees to commence and
proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and
this Lease will continue in full force and effect. Landlord agrees to give
written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate, as permitted
above, within

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

the earlier of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty, or fifteen
(15) days after Landlord's receipt of the estimate from Landlord's contractor
(the applicable time period to be referred to herein as the "Notice Period").

(b) SUBSTANTIAL DESTRUCTION. Any damage or destruction to the Premises, the
Building or the Exterior Areas (including the Parking Areas) which Landlord is
not obligated to repair pursuant to Section 18(a) above will be deemed a
substantial destruction. In the event of a substantial destruction, either
Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease effective as of the date
thirty (30) days after receipt of either party's written election to so
terminate; provided, however, that such written notice to so terminate shall be
effective only if given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such
casualty. If this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 18(b),
then Landlord shall repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Building,
the Premises and the Exterior Areas damaged by such casualty in accordance with
this Section 18.

(c) RESTORATION OBLIGATIONS. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or
any part of the Premises, Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord thereof.
Landlord shall insure the Tenant Improvements installed by Tenant pursuant to
Exhibit "B" and, subject to any termination rights hereunder, shall be
responsible for repairing and restoring the Tenant Improvements if Landlord
elects or is required to repair and restore the Premises, the Building and/or
the Exterior Areas under this Lease. Subject to Section 12, at Tenant's expense
as provided in this Lease, Tenant shall restore any Alterations and Tenant's
furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property unless this Lease is
terminated as permitted in this Section 18.

(d) ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of any damage, repair, reconstruction and/or
restoration described in this Section 18, rent will be abated or reduced, as the
case may be, from the date of such casualty, in proportion to the degree to
which Tenant's use of the Building is impaired during such period of repair
until Landlord completes all repairs to be performed by Landlord under this
Lease and Tenant has been given a reasonable period of time not to exceed
forty-five (45) days to re-fixturize and move back into the Premises.

(e) INABILITY TO COMPLETE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 18, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct
and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or the Premises pursuant to
Section 18(a) or 18(b) above, but is delayed from completing such repair,
reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is the earlier of (i)
forty-five (45) days after the date estimated by Landlord's contractor for
completion thereof by reason of any causes (other than delays caused by Tenant
or Tenant Parties, but excluding Force Majeure Delay pursuant to Section 27
below) or (ii) three hundred sixty five (365) days after the date of the
casualty damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon ten (10)
days' prior written notice given to Landlord after the expiration of such
forty-five (45) day period (unless the work is completed within such ten (10)
day notice period.

(f) DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. Either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease if any damage to the Building occurs during the last twelve
(12) months of the Term of this Lease and either Landlord or Tenant reasonable
determines that the restoration of such damage cannot be completed within sixty
(60) days after the date of such casualty; provided, however, notwithstanding
any provision of this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord has elected to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 18(f), then within thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice of such termination, Tenant may exercise
any of its unexercised Extension Options, which exercise shall negate and render
null and void Landlord's election to terminate this Lease, and the restoration
of the Building and other improvements to the Land shall proceed in accordance
with this Section 18.

(g) TERMINATION. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions
of this Section 18, the Parties will be released without further obligation to
the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord
except for items which have accrued and are unpaid as of the date of termination
and matters which are to survive any termination of this Lease as provided in
this Lease.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

(h) SUBORDINATION. Nothing in this Section 18 shall be construed as overriding
any requirements in the Superior Mortgages regarding damage and/or destruction,
and the Landlord's obligations in connection therewith, and/or any provisions or
requirements in the Superior Mortgages regarding the use and control of
insurance proceeds; all provisions in this Section 18 shall be subject and
subordinate to the requirements and provisions of the Superior Mortgages;
provided, however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Section
18(h) shall not operate to absolve or otherwise excuse Landlord from Landlord's
obligation to restore the Premises when and as required pursuant to this Section
18.

19. EMINENT DOMAIN.

(a) SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Building, or such part of the Land
or the Building as shall substantially and adversely interfere with Tenant's use
and occupancy of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease (including without
limitation Tenant's use of the Parking Areas), is taken for any public or
quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right
of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such
taking, then Tenant will have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of
the date possession is required to be surrendered to such authority. With
respect to a taking or condemnation affecting solely the number of parking
spaces available in the Parking Areas, so long as the number of parking stalls
remaining on the Land are not reduced below the minimum number required by City
of Bothell codes applicable to Tenant's use of the Premises, then such taking
shall not be deemed to substantially and/or adversely interfere with Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Premises provided that reasonable ingress and egress to
the Parking Areas from public streets remains available.

(b) PARTIAL TAKING; ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of a taking of a portion of
the Building which does not materially or adversely interfere with Tenant's use
and occupancy of the Building, then Landlord will thereafter proceed to make a
functional unit of the remaining portion of the Building, and rent will be
abated with respect to the part of the Building which Tenant is deprived of on
account of such taking.

(c) CONDEMNATION AWARD. In connection with any taking of the Premises or the
Building, Landlord will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award
which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or
apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly
understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award will be
allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease,
and such bonus or excess value will be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant
agrees not to assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess
value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is
taken, Tenant will have the right to recover from the condemning authority (but
not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable
by Tenant for the taking of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other
personal property within the Premises (but not the Tenant Improvements), for
Tenant's relocation expenses, for any loss of goodwill or other damage to
Tenant's business by reason of such taking, and any other damages that may be
recovered under the laws of the State, so long as any award to Tenant does not
reduce any award to Landlord.

(d) TEMPORARY TAKING. In the event of taking of the Building or any part thereof
for temporary use, (i) this Lease will remain unaffected thereby and rent will
abate for the duration of the taking in proportion to the extent Tenant's use of
the Building is interfered with, and (ii) Landlord will be entitled to receive
such portion or portions of any award made for such use. For purpose of this
Section 19(d), a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of
ninety (90) days or less.

20. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

(a) DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will be
deemed a "Default" by Tenant:

(i) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other payment
required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure
continues for a period of five (5) business days

                                     -16-
<PAGE>

after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that
written notice shall not be required more than twice in any calendar year.

(ii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied
covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant,
other than as specified in Section 20(a)(i) above, where such failure continues
(where no other period of time is expressly provided) for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. If the nature of
Tenant's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for its cure, then Tenant will not be deemed to be in Default if Tenant
commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion, but in not event longer than one hundred
twenty (120) days.

(iii) (a) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (b) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant
adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any
law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (c) the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or (d) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure
is not discharged within sixty (60) days.

(b) LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. After the occurrence of a Default by Tenant, Landlord
may, at its option, immediately declare Tenant's rights under this Lease
terminated, and, subject to the requirements of applicable laws, reenter the
Premises using such force as may be necessary, and repossess itself thereof, as
of its former estate, and remove all persons and property from the Premises.
Notwithstanding any such reentry, the liability of Tenant for the full Rent
provided for herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of this Lease, and
Tenant shall make good to Landlord any deficiency arising from a reletting of
the Premises at a lesser Rent, plus the costs and expenses of renovating,
altering and reletting the Premises, including attorneys' fees or brokers' fees
incident to Landlord's reentry or reletting. Tenant shall pay any such
deficiency each month as the amount thereof is ascertained by Landlord or, at
Landlord's option, Landlord may recover in addition to all Rent and any other
sums unpaid at the time of judgment, the present value of the amount at the time
of judgment by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after
judgment exceeds the amount of Rent loss which Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided, discounted at the rate of five percent (5%). In reletting the Premises,
Landlord may grant commercially reasonable rent concessions and the amount due
from Tenant shall not be reduced thereby. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
affect the right of Landlord to recover for indemnification under any provision
herein, for matters which occurred prior to the termination of this Lease, or
for any other remedy at law or in equity. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant is
in Default under this Lease and at that time any other property owned by
Landlord is available for lease, Landlord has the right to lease such other
premises, and this shall not reduce Tenant's obligations under this Lease
through the remaining Lease Term.

(c) LANDLORD'S REMEDIES; PERFORMANCE FOR TENANT. All covenants and agreements to
be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease are to be performed
by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and, except as expressly provided in
this Lease, without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of
money owed to any party other than Landlord, for which it is liable under this
Lease, or if Tenant fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed
hereunder, and such failure constitutes a Default by Tenant, Landlord may,
without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations, but shall not be
obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other act to be made or
performed by Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon demand for all
sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate, from the date of such payment by Landlord
until reimbursed by Tenant. This remedy shall be in addition to any other right
or remedy of Landlord set forth in this Section 20.

(d) LATE PAYMENT. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent within ten (10)
days of when due or if Tenant fails to make any other payment for which Tenant
is obligated under this Lease within ten (10)

                                     -17-
<PAGE>

days of when due, such late amount will accrue interest at the Interest Rate and
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent such interest on such amount
from the date such amount becomes due until such amount is paid. In addition,
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord concurrently with such late payment amount, as
additional rent, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due to
compensate Landlord for the extra costs Landlord will incur as a result of such
late payment. Acceptance of any such interest and late charge will not
constitute a waiver of the Tenant's Default with respect to the overdue amount,
or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
available to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first two (2)
monetary delinquencies in any calendar year, Tenant shall be entitled to receive
written notice and five (5) business days from receipt of such notice to cure
such monetary delinquency before Landlord may assess any interest or late
charges under this Lease.

(e) RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord
and Tenant contained in this Lease will be construed and held to be cumulative,
and no one of them will be exclusive of the other, and except as otherwise
expressly stated in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to
pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may
be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in
this Section 20 will be deemed to limit or otherwise affect each party's
indemnification of the other pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

21. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord's failure to perform or observe any of its
obligations under this Lease or to correct a breach of any warranty or
representation made in this Lease (provided that such breach of representation
or warranty is reasonably susceptible of cure) within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the
nature and extent of the failure referencing pertinent Lease provisions or if
more than thirty (30) days is required to cure the breach, Landlord's failure to
begin curing within the thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute the cure
to completion, shall constitute a default. If Tenant has provided simultaneous
written notice thereof to Superior Mortgagees (if any and if Tenant has notice
thereof) and Landlord (and/or Superior Mortgagees if any) has failed to commence
to cure such default within thirty (30) days (or such shorter time as is
commercially reasonable in the case of an emergency threatening imminent harm to
persons or property), Tenant may at its option (but shall not be obligated),
without waiving any claim for breach of agreement, thereafter cure the default
for the account of the Landlord, which cure shall be preceded by an additional
written notice given at least three (3) days prior to such cure to Landlord and
Superior Mortgagees that Tenant plans to undertake the cure, and the reasonable
cost of such cure shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Landlord,
and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's out-of-pocket expenditures paid
to third parties to effectuate such cure, such reimbursement to be within thirty
(30) days after completion of the cure and invoice to Landlord showing the costs
of cure. If Tenant elects to exercise such cure rights, such election shall be
in lieu of any right to terminate this Lease for purposes of such cured default
only; Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease for any Landlord
default which Tenant has elected to cure as provided in this Section 21. If
Landlord disputes either the necessity of the cure or the cost thereof, the
matter shall be settled by arbitration in Seattle, Washington, pursuant to
Section 33(n) below. The arbitration shall be held within sixty (60) days of
Landlord notifying Tenant it disputes Tenant's cure. If Landlord fails to
reimburse Tenant within the 30 day period above (or, if disputed then within ten
(10) days after final determination in the arbitration), then thereafter Tenant
may offset such reimbursement against the monthly Rent (but not additional rent)
up to a maximum of a 25% offset in any month, until Tenant has recovered the
entire expenditure.

22. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

(a) RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Tenant shall have not have the right to assign,
encumber, sublease, or transfer this Lease without Landlord's prior written
consent, which shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed (any such assignment,
encumbrance, sublease, or transfer will sometimes be referred to as a
"Transfer"). Upon a Transfer, or a request therefor, Landlord shall not have the
right to recapture the Premises. Any Transfer shall state that the Transferee
shall make all payments under the assignment or sublease directly to Landlord,
after written notice from Landlord of an uncured Default by Tenant under this
Lease. Tenant agrees that all payments from Transferee shall be payable directly
to Landlord for the duration of any uncured Default by Tenant under this Lease.

                                     -18-
<PAGE>

(b) NON-TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 22 to the
contrary, for purposes of this Section 22, a reorganization, merger, sale,
partnership change, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any partnership or
other ownership interest in Tenant shall not be deemed a Transfer under the
Lease so long as the successor entity reasonably has the financial wherewithal
to perform its obligations under this Lease. If the successor entity has
comparable or greater financial strength to that of the Tenant as of the
Commencement Date, then such successor entity shall be conclusively deemed to
have the financial wherewithal to perform its obligations under the Lease. The
use by or the subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to any subsidiary
or Affiliate of Tenant shall not constitute a Transfer under this Lease or
require the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may allow any person or
company which is a client or customer of Tenant, or which is providing a service
to Tenant or one of Tenant's clients, to occupy certain portions of the Building
without such occupancy being deemed a Transfer. For purposes of this Lease, an
"Affiliate" of any entity shall mean another entity which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with such entity. Prior to effecting a
sublease, assignment or other transfer pursuant to this Section 22(b), Tenant
shall provide to Landlord reasonable evidence that such transaction satisfies
the requirements of this Section 22(b). If confidentiality obligations or the
requirements of securities or other laws preclude the disclosure of such
transaction prior to its closing, then Tenant shall provide such evidence to
Landlord within ten (10) business days after the closing of such transaction.

(c) TRANSFER NOTICE. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least ten
(10) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective
(the "Transfer Date"), Tenant agrees to give Landlord a written notice (the
"Transfer Notice"), stating the name, address and business of the proposed
assignee, sublessee, encumbrance holder, or other transferee (sometimes referred
to hereinafter as "Transferee"), reasonable information (including references)
concerning the ownership, and financial condition of the proposed Transferee,
the Transfer Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and
the proposed Transferee, and the consideration and all other material terms and
conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord may
reasonably require. Within ten (10) days of Landlord's receipt of any Transfer
Notice (including all the information described above), and Landlord will elect
in writing to do one of the following (i) consent to the proposed Transfer; or
(ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds (set
forth in reasonable detail in such notice of election).

(d) EXCESS RENT. In the event of any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration payable
to and for the benefit of Tenant by the Transferee assignee on account of the
Transfer, after recovery of Tenant's Re-Leasing Costs (as defined below), as and
when such sums and other consideration are due and payable by the Transferee
(or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant's liability for
the same, Tenant agrees to instruct the Transferee to pay such sums and other
consideration directly to Landlord). If for any proposed sublease Tenant
receives Rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the
sublease, in excess of the Rent fairly allocable to the portion of the Building
which is subleased based on rentable square footage, Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord as additional rent fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such
payment of Rent or other consideration received by Tenant, after recovery of
Tenant's Re-Leasing Costs (as defined below), within ten (10) days after its
receipt. In calculating excess Rent or other consideration which may be payable
to Landlord under this subsection, Tenant will be entitled to deduct
commercially reasonable third party brokerage commissions, transaction costs,
tenant improvement costs or allowances funded by Tenant, tenant incentives,
rental abatement or free rent awarded or granted to the Transferee, attorneys'
fees and other amounts reasonably and actually paid by Tenant to third parties
in connection with such assignment or subletting ("Tenant's Re-Leasing Costs")
if acceptable written evidence of such expenditures is provided to Landlord.

(e) MISCELLANEOUS. Any Transferee of Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a true
copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or
hypothecation, and, in the case of an assignment, the delivery to Landlord of an
agreement executed by the Transferee in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the Transferee assumes and agrees to be bound
by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

(f) NO RELEASE. No Transfer (or non-transfer permitted pursuant to Section 22(b)
above), whether or not permitted, nor Landlord's consent thereto, shall operate
to release Tenant from liability under this Lease. Tenant shall remain jointly
and severally liable under this Lease, along with any Transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Emulex Design & Manufacturing Corporation, as the
assigning Tenant, and Emulex Corporation, as the guarantor of this Lease, shall
be released from any further obligations and/or liability which first arise
under this Lease from and after the effective date of any assignment of the
Lease to a Transferee if all of the following are met in connection with such
assignment:

      (i) The Transferee has a net worth at the time of such assignment of at
      least Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) as determined in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      (ii) The Transferee executes and delivers to Landlord an assumption of
      this Lease in accordance with Section 22(e) above.

(g) COSTS. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket legal and out-of-pocket
administrative costs incurred in connection with such request.

(h) LANDLORD COOPERATION. The Landlord agrees to reasonable cooperate with the
Tenant in making arrangements for a Transferee in accordance with this Section
22. Should Tenant make a written request to Landlord requesting Landlord to
offer an assignment of this Lease on the open market, Landlord shall do so by
listing the Premises with a broker or brokers and using reasonable efforts to
engage a Transferee, and Tenant shall pay to the Landlord an amount equal to one
hundred twenty percent (120%) of the sum of the commission to such broker and
the actual reasonable expenses of the Landlord, provided, however, that
Landlord's reimbursable expenses (other than commissions due) shall not exceed
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Should an assignment of this Lease not
be executed by an assignee within one hundred eighty (180) days of such a
request by Tenant, then Tenant shall have the option to require the Landlord to
discontinue the listing of the Premises, and to discontinue efforts by the
Landlord to engage a Transferee, and the obligations of Tenant for such efforts
shall be limited to paying the actual reasonable expenses of the Landlord
therefore in a total payment amount not to exceed any payment due to real estate
brokers, plus twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).

23. SUBORDINATION.

(a) CURRENT LIENHOLDERS. No later than thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "E", or on another commercially reasonable form required by the Superior
Mortgagee, from any mortgage holders or lien holders (each, a "SUPERIOR
MORTGAGEE") then in existence. (A "SUPERIOR MORTGAGE" shall mean a lien
encumbering the Premises held by a Superior Mortgagee, and any documents
evidencing the debt secured by such lien.) Any SNDAs executed pursuant to this
Section 22 shall subordinate this Lease to the Superior Mortgage and include the
Superior Mortgagee's agreement to not disturb Tenant for so long as Tenant has
not committed a Default under this Lease.

(b) FUTURE LIENS. Tenant agrees to subordinate this Lease and its interest in
the Premises and the Land to the lien of any Superior Mortgagee who comes into
existence at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, provided that such
subordination is conditioned upon the Superior Mortgagee's delivery to Tenant of
an executed SNDA substantially in the form of Exhibit "E", or on another
commercially reasonable form required by the Superior Mortgagee.

(c) ATTORNMENT. Subject to the provisions of this Section, in the event of any
foreclosure of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the Premises
by trustee's sale, voluntary agreement, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by the
commencement of any judicial action seeking foreclosure, Tenant, at the request
of the then landlord under this Lease, shall attorn to and recognize the
beneficiary or purchaser at the foreclosure sale, as Tenant's landlord under
this Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver at

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

any time upon request of such ground or underlying lessor, beneficiary,
purchaser, or their successors, any commercially reasonable instrument
evidencing such attornment that does not amend Tenant's rights under this Lease.

24. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

(a) TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Within ten (10) business days following any written
request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute and
deliver to Landlord a statement, in a form substantially similar to the form of
Exhibit "F-1" attached hereto or as may reasonably be required by a Superior
Mortgagee, certifying to Tenant's actual knowledge (subject to any applicable
exceptions set forth in such statement): (i) the Commencement Date of this
Lease; (ii) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and
effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (iii) the date
to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv)
that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, there are no current Defaults under
this Lease by either Landlord except as specified in Tenant's statement; and (v)
such other matters reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend
that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 24 may be relied upon by
any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building
or any interest therein.

(b) TENANT'S FAILURE TO DELIVER. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement
within such time will be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that the statement as
submitted is correct without modification, and this Lease is in full force and
effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that
there are no uncured Defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) that not more
than one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance. Without limiting the
foregoing, if Tenant fails to deliver any such statement within such ten (10)
business day period, Landlord may deliver to Tenant an additional request for
such statement and Tenant's failure to deliver such statement to Landlord within
five (5) business days after delivery of such additional request will constitute
a Default under this Lease.

(c) LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. No more than once per calendar year (unless
requested in connection with an assignment, sublease or other transfer of
Tenant's interest in the Lease), within ten (10) business days following any
written request from Tenant, Landlord agrees to execute and deliver to Tenant a
statement, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit "F-2" attached
hereto, certifying to Landlord's actual knowledge (subject to any applicable
exceptions set forth in such statement): (i) the Commencement Date of this
Lease; (ii) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and
effect, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (iii) the date
to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (iv)
whether Landlord has delivered to Tenant a notice of default which has not been
fully cured by Tenant; and (v) whether, in Landlord's actual knowledge, without
inquiry or investigation, there exists any event or condition which with the
giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a Default by Tenant
under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered
pursuant to this Section 24(c) may be relied upon by any prospective Transferee,
lender, purchaser and/or investor of any interest in Tenant or its interest
under this Lease.

(d) LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO DELIVER. If Landlord fails to deliver any such
statement within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant may deliver to
Landlord an additional request for such statement and Landlord's failure to
deliver such statement to Tenant within five (5) business days after delivery of
such additional request will (A) be conclusive upon Landlord (i) that this Lease
is in full force and effect, (ii) that not more than one (1) month's rent has
been paid in advance; (iii) that there are no uncured defaults that have been
the subject of a written notice by Landlord; and (iv) that Landlord has no
actual knowledge of any event or condition which with the giving of notice or
the passage of time would constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease; and
(B) cause Landlord to be liable for and Landlord shall pay to Tenant upon demand
Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day for each day beyond the expiration of the
foregoing second five (5) business day period that Landlord delays in delivering
the statement to Tenant.

25. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.
The subsequent acceptance of Rent or any other payment hereunder by Landlord
will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term,
covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay
only that portion of the Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance by
Landlord of a lesser sum than the Monthly Base Rent and additional rent or other
sum then due will be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
installment of such Rent or other amount due, nor will any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check be deemed an accord
and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or
other amount or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. The consent or
approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or
approval will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent or
approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.

26. PARKING. So long as this Lease is in effect, Landlord grants to Tenant and
its employees, agents, customers, visitors, officers, contractors, licensees and
invitees the exclusive right to use all parking spaces located on the Land.
Landlord shall not reduce the number of parking stalls on the Land below the
amount present on the Effective Date.

27. FORCE MAJEURE. If either Landlord or Tenant is delayed, hindered in or
prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of
an unusual and unforeseeable event (each a "Force Majeure Event") not within the
reasonable control of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts
required under the provisions of this Lease, then performance of such act will
be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any
such act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay (a
or "Force Majeure Delay"). Force Majeure Events include, but are not limited to,
strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure standard materials,
restrictive governmental laws, regulations or orders or governmental action or
inaction (including failure, refusal or delay in issuing permits, approvals
and/or authorizations which is not the result of the action or inaction of the
party claiming such delay), riots, civil unrest or insurrection, war, terrorism,
bioterrorism, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, unusual and
unforeseeable delay which results from an interruption of any public utilities
(e.g., electricity, gas, water, telephone) including, without limitation,
utility service provider initiated "brown-outs" or "black-outs". In no event
shall the inability to pay or other financial matter be considered a Force
Majeure Event. Under no circumstances shall the due date for the payment of Rent
or other amounts due under this Lease, or the obligation to pay Rent or other
amounts due under this Lease, be delayed or otherwise affected by a Force
Majeure Event.

28. SIGNS. Tenant shall be permitted to install an identification sign on each
floor of the Premises in the elevator lobby of such floor as well as adjacent to
Tenant's entry door on any other floors of the Premises. In addition, Tenant
shall be permitted to place Tenant's name, the name of each of Tenant's
professionals and other employees, and the name(s) of any Transferees or
successors of Tenant and their professionals and employees on the directory
board in the Building's lobby as well as any other directories on the Land or
any project of which the Building may be a part. During the Term of this Lease
(including all Extension Terms), Tenant shall have the exclusive right to
install building top and eyebrow signage on the exterior Building in accordance
with applicable Laws. Upon the termination of the Lease, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, Tenant shall remove its building top signage from the Building and
repair any damage caused by such removal.

29. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant
paying the Rent required under this Lease and paying all other charges and
performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed
and performed under this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Premises in accordance with this Lease without hindrance or
molestation by Landlord or its employees or agents.

                                      -22-

30. EXTENSION OPTIONS.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 30, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant
two (2) options (the "Extension Option(s)") to extend the Term of this Lease
with respect to the entire Premises for five (5) years per Extension Option
(each, an "Option Term"), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as
provided for in this Lease during the initial Term, except that Monthly Base
Rent shall be established based upon the "fair market rental rate" for the
Premises for each Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 30 below. (In addition to the Monthly Base Rent,
additional rent shall be payable throughout each Option Term as provided in this
Lease.) An Extension Option may be exercised by Tenant, and Transferee of Tenant
or any of the parties described in Section 30(b) below.

(b) An Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice
("Extension Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no later than six (6) full
calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease term or the first
Option Term, as applicable. Once an Extension Notice is delivered, then the
extension of this Lease shall be binding.

(c) The term "fair market rental rate" as used in this Section 30 shall mean the
annual amount per rentable square foot, which as of the date of determination is
projected for and throughout the Option Term to be acceptable to a willing,
non-equity, non-renewal tenant of credit worthiness comparable to Tenant, and a
willing landlord of a comparable building of similar physical characteristics
within the North Creek/Canyon Park/Totem Lake submarket of Bothell, Washington
(the "Comparison Market"), in an arm's length transaction, leasing an entire
building, comparable in quality as the Premises, taking into account the triple
net nature of the Lease, the age and layout of the existing improvements in the
Premises and comparison leases and other items that professional real estate
brokers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates,
office space availability, tenant size and creditworthiness, tenant improvement
allowances, abatements, free rent, concessions, operating expenses and other
additional rent charges and allowance, and any other lease considerations, if
any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar
office buildings.

(d) Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord's determination of the
fair market rental rate ("Landlord's Estimate") within thirty (30) days
following the exercise by Tenant of the applicable Extension Option. Tenant
shall have thirty (30) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of
Landlord's notice of Landlord's Estimate within which to accept such amount or
to object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to Landlord's
Estimate in writing within Tenant's Review Period shall conclusively be deemed
Tenant's objection thereto. If Tenant objects to or is deemed to have objected
to the Landlord's Estimate, Landlord and Tenant will meet to present and discuss
their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises
under the parameters set forth in Section 30(c) above and shall diligently and
in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual
determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) business days
after Tenant objects to, or is deemed to have objected to, Landlord's Estimate.
The Parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and
documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to
the other their respective best and final offer ("Final Offer") as to the fair
market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair
market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the
"Outside Agreement Date"), then each party's determination shall be submitted to
arbitration in accordance with the Section 33(n) below, subject to the provision
so of this Section 30(d). For ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement
Date, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts
to select a mutually acceptable independent MAI appraiser or broker
("Appraiser") who has been active over the five-year period ending on the date
of such appointment in appraising buildings (or in the case of a broker,
commercial leasing) in the Comparison Market with comparable physical
characteristics to the Building and which has not been engaged by Landlord,
Tenant or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof within the last three (3)
years. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon a mutually acceptable
Appraiser pursuant to the preceding sentence, then either Landlord or Tenant may
petition the Seattle, Washington office of JAMS to appoint an Appraiser
satisfying the requirements of the previous sentence. The method of arbitration
shall be that known as the "baseball" type of

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

arbitration: Each party shall submit to the Appraiser its Final Offer made
pursuant to this Section 30(d) in advance of the hearing. The Appraiser shall be
limited to awarding only one or the other of the two figures submitted. Landlord
and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Monthly Base
Rent for the Option Term to be determined at least thirty (30) days prior to the
start of the Option Term. The Appraiser's determination of the fair market
rental rate shall be binding on the parties.

31. ROOFTOP COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and at Tenant's sole
expense, during the Term of this Lease (including any Extension Terms) including
without limitation, Section 12, Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans, and
subject to all applicable Laws, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to
install, maintain and operate satellite and/or microwave dishes and/or antennae,
and related communications equipment ("Communication Equipment") on the roof of
the Building. Use of the roof top space shall be at no charge to Tenant during
the Term. Tenant reserves the right to run cabling, conduit or wiring across the
roof of the Building to and through appropriate conduit risers that will
terminate within the Premises as set forth in plans and specifications.

(b) Use of the roof top space shall only be for the use of Tenant (or any
assignee of this Lease under an assignment permitted by the terms of this
Lease). The rights to use the roof top space may not be granted to any other
party by assignment, lease, sublease, license, delegation or otherwise.

(c) This Section 31 shall not be construed as granting to Tenant the right to
use the roof for income producing purposes; all rights to use the roof for
purposes that would result in payment of rent, license fees or other amounts
from a third party shall belong exclusively to Landlord.

(d) Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss,
cost, damage, claim or liability, including but not limited to the loss or
diminution of any warranties that Landlord may suffer as a result of Tenant's
actions under this Section 31, except for the active negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or a Landlord Party.

(e) On or before the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove all such equipment and shall repair any damage resulting from such
removal so that the roof and Building systems are restored to the condition they
were in prior to the Tenant's use of the roof, ordinary wear and tear and
casualty damage excepted.

32. LANDLORD'S ACQUISITION OF LAND.

(a) PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Landlord represents and warrants that (i) that certain
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 3, 2005, by Creekside Building LLC, a
Washington limited liability company, as seller, and Anastasiou Development LLC,
a Washington limited liability company, as buyer, as amended by that certain
letter agreement dated June 22, 2005 (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement") is
in full force and effect, (ii) true and correct copies of the Purchase Agreement
(including all amendments thereto) have been delivered to Tenant, (iii) Landlord
holds all right, title and interest of the buyer under the Purchase Agreement
pursuant to an assignment effected in accordance with the conditions of the
Purchase Agreement, and (iv) neither Landlord, as buyer, nor the seller under
the Purchase Agreement is in default in the performance of its obligations under
the Purchase Agreement nor does any act, condition or occurrence exist which,
with the giving of notice and/or the passing of time, would constitute a default
of buyer or seller under the Purchase Agreement. Landlord shall cause the
"closing" of Landlord's acquisition of the Purchase Agreement to occur by no
later than October 1, 2005.

(b) PROPERTY MATERIALS. Landlord represents and warrants that Landlord has
delivered, or shall promptly following execution of this Lease deliver, to
Tenant true, correct and complete copies of all documentation (if any) regarding
the physical condition and features of the Land and the Premises in Landlord's
possession, custody or control (the "Property Documentation"). The Property
Documentation shall include, without limitation, title reports and all
underlying title documents referenced therein, surveys

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

of the Land and the Building, all plans of the Building (including "as built"
plans), environmental reports, surveys and test results regarding the Building
and the Property as well as all manuals and other information and specifications
regarding building systems installed in the Building which were provided to
Landlord. As additional Property Documentation comes into Landlord's possession,
custody or control that has not been disclosed to Tenant, Landlord shall
promptly deliver complete copies of such Property Information to Tenant.

(c) EFFECTIVENESS. This Lease shall automatically become effective upon
Landlord's acquisition of the Premises. In the event that Landlord does not
acquire the Premises on or before October 1, 2005, then Tenant, in addition to
its rights and remedies hereunder or at law or in equity, may elect to terminate
this Lease by ten (10) business days' prior written notice to Landlord.
Provided, however, that if Landlord acquires the Premises prior to expiration of
such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant's termination right shall be
void. In the event that Tenant so terminates the Lease, then, as Tenant's sole
remedy, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the legal fees and expenses incurred
by Tenant in connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Lease.

33. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) KEYS. Concurrently with its delivery of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to
Section 4(a) of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant one (1) key to the
Premises for each 250 rentable square feet in the Building.

(b) CONFLICT OF LAWS. This Lease shall be governed by and construed solely
pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to choice
of law principles thereunder.

(c) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of
the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns.

(d) ATTORNEYS' FEES. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit against the
other as a result of a default by the other party under this Lease, then the

(f) TIME. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every
provision of this Lease.

(g) PRIOR AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Lease constitutes and is intended by the
Parties to be a final, complete and exclusive statement of their entire
agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Lease. This Lease
supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings
of any kind relating to the subject matter of this Lease. There are no other

(i) SEPARABILITY. The provisions of this Lease shall be considered separable
such that if any provision or part of this Lease is ever held to be invalid,
void or illegal under any law or ruling, all remaining provisions of this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(j) COUNTERPARTS; COPY. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the
same agreement. A copy of a signed original of this Lease shall have the same
effect as a copy.

(k) LANDLORD'S LIABILITY; TRANSFER.

      (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, covenants,
undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Landlord in this Lease
are made and intended not as personal covenants, undertakings and agreements for
the purpose of binding Landlord personally or the assets of Landlord (except
Landlord's interest in the Premises, together with the rents, profits and
proceeds of the Premises), but are made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Landlord's interest in the Premises, together with the rents, profits
and proceeds of the Premises as the same may from time to time be encumbered. No
personal liability or personal responsibility is assumed by Landlord, nor shall
at any time be asserted or enforceable against Landlord or Landlord Parties on
account of the Lease or on account of any covenant, undertaking or agreement of
Landlord in this Lease. If the entirety of Landlord's estate in the Premises is
sold, assigned or conveyed to any person or entity upon the exercise of any
remedy provided for in any mortgage, deed of trust, or by law or equity, such
person or entity and each person or entity thereafter succeeding to its interest
in the Premises: (a) shall not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord
under this Lease occurring prior to such sale or conveyance, except for (1)
continuing defaults which must be cured, and (2) offsets expressly permitted
under this Lease where the mortgagee or other beneficiary of a deed of trust
received written notice of the Landlord defaults giving rise to the offset
right, (b) shall not be bound by any payment prior to such sale or conveyance of
Rent or other payments for more than one month in advance, and (c) shall be
liable for the keeping, observance and performance of the other covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions to be kept, observed and performed
by Landlord under this Lease only during the period such person or entity shall
hold such interest.

      (ii) In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord's interest in
the Premises, other than a transfer for security purposes only, the transferor
shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on
the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer and
Tenant agrees to attorn to the transferee; provided such transferee has
expressly, in writing, assumed all obligations and liabilities hereunder.

(l) FINANCIAL INFORMATION. If Tenant is not a publicly listed and traded
company, within ten (10) business days of receipt by Tenant of Landlord's
written request, but not more than once each year, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a copy of its most recent annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including a balance
sheet, income statement, statement of changes in stockholder's or owner's
equity, statement of cash flow, accompanying footnotes, and reports of
independent accountants; which reports may be consolidated with related
entities. Landlord shall hold Tenant's financial information in confidence and
agrees to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement if so requested by
Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord with such financial
information on a non-consolidated basis (which will not be accompanied by
reports of an independent accountant) if the Landlord is in the process of
financing, re-financing or selling the property (and, in the case of a sale,
there is an executed written agreement for a sale and the buyer has requested
such financial information on a non-consolidated basis), provided that such
financial information may only be provided to a prospective purchaser or
mortgagee (and their representatives and agents), subject to the same
confidentiality requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
required to

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

deliver non-consolidated financial reports if such non-consolidated financial
reports are not kept by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business.

      (i) TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ITS IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD UNDER THE
INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE ACT (RCW TITLE 51) AND/OR THE LONGSHOREMEN'S AND HARBOR
WORKER ACT, AND/OR ANY EQUIVALENT ACTS AND TENANT EXPRESSLY AGREES TO ASSUME

POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS BROUGHT AGAINST TENANT BY LANDLORD'S EMPLOYEES,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LIABILITY ARISES AS A RESULT OF TENANT'S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED
BY THE PARTIES TO THIS LEASE AND LANDLORD HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO, AND HAS
BEEN ENCOURAGED TO, CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT COUNSEL REGARDING THIS WAIVER.

arbitration, then the matter shall be settled by arbitration in Seattle,
Washington, pursuant to the arbitration rules and procedures set forth in RCW
7.04, with a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be a person having at least

                              WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
                          (LANDLORD BUILD W/ALLOWANCE)

This WORK LETTER AGREEMENT ("Work Letter Agreement") is entered into as of the
___ day of August, 2005, between 24000 DEVELOPMENT LLC, a Washington limited
liability company ("Landlord"), and EMULEX DESIGN & MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), with reference to the following recitals:

A. Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter Agreement, Landlord and
Tenant have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain premises
("Premises") more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached to the Lease.
All terms not defined herein have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease. To
the extent applicable, the provisions of the Lease are incorporated herein by
this reference.

B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease and in consideration of the
mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as
follows:

1. PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS.

      (a) Selection of Architect and Engineers. After the execution of this
Lease, Landlord shall engage JPC Architects, P.L.L.C. ("Architect") to prepare
the Space Plan (defined below) for the Tenant Improvements (defined below). With
consultation from Tenant and Architect, Landlord shall select and retain
engineering consultants (the "Engineers") to prepare the Working Drawings
(defined below), which shall be consistent with the Approved Space Plan and
include without limitation all plans and engineering working drawings relating
to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life/safety, and
sprinkler work in connection with the Tenant Improvements. Prior to the
execution of any agreement engaging the Architect or any of the Engineers,
Landlord shall submit such agreement to Tenant for Tenant's review, comment and
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; provided, however, the provisions of such contracts pertaining to the
recourse of Landlord against Architect and Engineers shall be subject to
Tenant's approval to be exercised in Tenant's sole and absolute good faith
discretion. Landlord may not enter into an agreement with Architect or any of
the Engineers unless such agreement has been approved in writing by Tenant
pursuant to this Section. Landlord shall not amend any contract between Landlord
and the Architect or the Engineers in such a manner that would adversely affect
Tenant's recourse against Architect or the Engineers under the Design and
Construction Warranties (defined below) to be assigned to Tenant pursuant to
Section 4(d) of this Work Letter Agreement, or increase the hourly rates charged
by Architect or the Engineers in performing the Landlord's Work.

      (b) Space Plan. On or before the date therefor specified in the Work
Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit "B-1" ("Work Schedule"), Architect shall
prepare and deliver to Landlord and Tenant for their respective approval four
(4) copies of the space plan for all Tenant Improvements in the Premises ("Space
Plan"), which Space Plan shall be prepared consistent with Tenant's directions
and other instructions to Architect and further shall reflect a layout and
description of all offices, rooms and other partitions, their intended use, and
the equipment to be contained therein. Landlord or Tenant may request reasonable
clarification or more specific drawings reasonably required for special use
items not included in the Space Plan. Landlord or Tenant shall, no later than
the deadline specified in the Work Schedule, (i) approve the Space Plan, or (ii)
approve the Space Plan subject to specified conditions to be complied with in
connection with the Working Drawings (defined below). Landlord and Tenant shall
use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes that may
arise between Landlord and Tenant regarding any conditions imposed pursuant to
subpart (ii) of this Section 1(b). The Space Plan, as approved by Landlord and
Tenant pursuant to this Section 1(b) (including the revisions required in

                                   EXHIBIT "B"
                                      -1-
<PAGE>

connection with a conditional approval), shall be referred to in this Work
Letter Agreement as the "Approved Space Plan."

      (c) Working Drawings. Based upon the Approved Space Plan, by the date
specified in the Work Schedule, Landlord shall cause the Engineers to complete
and deliver to Tenant for Tenant's approval, two (2) copies of complete, fully
coordinated architectural and (to the extent required) structural, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing working drawings and specifications for the Tenant
Improvements for the Premises in a form which is sufficiently complete to allow
the Contractor and all subcontractors to bid on the work shown therein and to
obtain all applicable Permits (defined below) therefor (collectively, the
"Working Drawings"). The Working Drawings shall be consistent with the Approved
Space Plan. Tenant shall, by the date specified in the Work Schedule, either (i)
approve the Working Drawings, (ii) approve the Working Drawings subject to
specified conditions to be satisfied by Landlord prior to submission of the same
by Landlord for the Permits, or (iii) disapprove and return the same to Landlord
with required revisions. If Tenant disapproves the Working Drawings, within
three (3) business days of receipt of such disapproval, Landlord shall cause the
Architect to make all changes thereto required to satisfy Tenant's required
revisions and shall resubmit to Landlord such revised Working Drawings, and
Landlord shall, within three (3) business days after Tenant receives such
resubmitted Working Drawings, approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove
the resubmitted Working Drawings, with the foregoing procedure to be repeated
until the Working Drawings are ultimately approved by Tenant. The Working
Drawings, as approved by Tenant pursuant to this Section 1(c) shall be referred
to in this Work Letter Agreement as the "Approved Working Drawings." Landlord
shall cause the process of preparing and approving the Working Drawings to be
completed by such a time that will not delay Landlord's submission of the bid
materials and Approved Working Drawings to the Bidding Contractors with
sufficient time for such Bidding Contractors to prepare bids for the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, and for Landlord to review, analyze and
deliver to Tenant a detailed written recommendation regarding the bids of the
Bidding Contractors, by no later than September 27, 2005.

      (d) Changes in Approved Working Drawings. In the event Tenant desires to
change any set of Approved Working Drawings, Tenant shall deliver a notice (a
"Drawing Change Notice") of such proposed change to Landlord, which Drawing
Change Notice shall set forth in detail all changes (the "Tenant Changes")
Tenant desires to make to the Approved Working Drawings. To the extent that
drawings or depictions of the proposed Tenant Changes are reasonably required by
Landlord, then Tenant shall instruct Architect and/or the Engineers, as may be
applicable, to prepare drawings setting forth in reasonable detail the proposed
Tenant Changes. Landlord shall, within three (3) business days following
Landlord's receipt of any Drawing Change Notice either: (i) approve the Tenant
Changes in question, or (ii) disapprove such Tenant Changes and deliver a notice
to Tenant specifying in reasonably sufficient detail the reasons for Landlord's
disapproval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may not
withhold its consent to Tenant Changes where Tenant, subject to funding from any
remaining unspent portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, agrees to bear
the increased cost of the construction of the Tenant Improvements directly
resulting from the Tenant Changes. If the Contractor has already been engaged by
Landlord at the time Tenant requests a Tenant Change, Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a change order to the construction
contract between Landlord and the Contractor consistent with the Tenant Change
upon the best possible terms and conditions for the Tenant. Subject to funding
from any remaining unspent portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant
shall bear (A) the cost of the Architect and Engineers incurred as a result of
revising the Approved Working Drawings to effect any Tenant Change, and (B) the
cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements that are the subject of the
Tenant Change.

      (e) Tenant Improvements; Standards for Approval. The term "Tenant
Improvements" means all initial improvements, fixtures and equipment to be
permanently affixed to the Premises pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement. The
term "Landlord's Work" shall mean and refer to the work and activities performed
by, or caused to be performed by, Landlord in connection with the construction
of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement. Except as
provided otherwise herein, each time Landlord or Tenant is granted the right
under this Work Letter Agreement to review, consent or approve the Space Plan,
the Working Drawings, any part or component thereof, or any proposed Tenant
Change (each such approval is referred to herein as a "Consent"), such Consent
shall not be not be withheld or

                                   EXHIBIT "B"
                                      -2-
<PAGE>

conditioned unless the proposed improvements (i) would unduly burden the
Building's operating systems or (ii) would fail to comply with applicable laws,
codes, ordinances or regulations.

      (f) Permits. By no later than the date specified in the Work Schedule,
Landlord shall cause the Engineers to prepare updated versions of the Space
Plans containing sufficient information to submit to the City of Bothell to
apply for and obtain the Permits. Such plans and drawings shall be referred to
in this Work Letter Agreement as the "Permit Drawings." By no later than the
date specified in the Work Schedule, Landlord shall submit to the appropriate
governmental entities the Approved Space Plans (including such additional
reasonable detail as is customarily required by the applicable governmental
entities) and Landlord shall otherwise apply for all applicable building and
other permits and approvals (collectively, "Permits") necessary or required for
the Contractor to commence, perform and fully complete the construction of the
Tenant Improvements (and to permit Tenant to legally occupy the Premises). If
the governmental entities reviewing the applications for permits and related
materials require any revisions to the Permit Drawings, Landlord shall cause
such revisions to be made within five (5) business days and delivered to Tenant
for its approval in accordance with the same procedures for Tenant's review and
approval of the Working Drawings in accordance with Section 1(c) above.
Revisions to the Permit Drawings made in connection with responding to the
request of a governmental agency pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not
constitute a Tenant Change, notwithstanding any provision of this Work Letter to
the contrary. In addition to its covenants in the preceding sentence, Landlord
shall use good faith, commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to cause all
of the Permits to be fully issued (in "ready to issue" form) on or before the
date specified therefor in the Work Schedule. Neither Landlord nor any (i)
Landlord Party shall have any obligation or liability to Tenant if any Permit
(including, without limitation, any building permit, certificate of occupancy,
or equivalent) is not timely issued to Landlord, provided that Landlord has
applied for such Permits in accordance with the Work Schedule, (ii) Landlord has
exercised good faith, commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to cause the
Permits to be issued in accordance with the Work Schedule, and (iii) the delay
in the issuance of the Permits has not been caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Parties. As used herein, "Landlord Party"
shall mean Landlord and its partners, advisors, lenders and each of their
respective officers, managers, directors, employees, contractors, agents,
architects, engineers, successors and assigns.

2. COST OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

      (a) Allocation of Costs. Landlord shall bear all Tenant Improvement Costs
(defined below) to the extent that the total Tenant Improvement Costs do not
exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 1(l) of the Lease
(as the same may be increased pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Lease). Tenant shall bear all Tenant Improvement Costs in excess of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance ("Excess Costs") in accordance with the provisions of this
Work Letter Agreement.

      (b) Payment of Excess Costs by Tenant. Excess Costs shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord, on a proportionate basis promptly upon request from
Landlord, as Landlord incurs such costs after the Tenant Improvement Allowance
has been paid in full by Landlord in accordance with this Work Letter Agreement.
Tenant shall pay Landlord for Excess Costs incurred by Landlord in connection
with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this
Section 2(b) within five (5) business days following Landlord's request
therefor, which request shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation (e.g., as set forth on invoices paid or payable by Landlord as of
such date). Notwithstanding anything in this Work Letter Agreement or the Lease
to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to discontinue its performance of
the Landlord's Work until such time as Tenant complies with the requirements of
this Section 2(b). If Tenant fails to pay Excess Costs when due hereunder, the
unpaid Excess Costs shall accrue interest from the due date at a rate of twelve
percent (12%) per annum, simple interest.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

      (c) Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance.

            (i) Definition of Tenant Improvement Costs. As used herein, "Tenant
Improvement Costs" shall mean the actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Landlord in performing the Landlord's Work, preparing the Space Plan and Working
Drawings and obtaining the Permits.

            (ii) Exclusions from Tenant Improvement Costs. Notwithstanding
Section 2(c)(i) above or any other provision of the Lease or this Work Letter
Agreement to the contrary, Tenant Improvement Costs shall not include any of the
following costs and expenses (collectively, the "Excluded Costs"): (A) costs for
the Base Building Work; (B) costs incurred in the inspection, testing, removal,
abatement or remediation of Hazardous Materials to the extent that such costs
are incurred by Landlord in the performance of Landlord's obligations under the
Lease; (C) any breaches of Landlord's covenants, representations and warranties
set forth in the Lease or this Work Letter Agreement; (D) the cost of work
performed prior to the execution of the Lease or which is not authorized by the
Lease or this Work Letter Agreement; (E) costs that are recovered or are
reasonably recoverable from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors or
tortfeasors); (F) construction management fees incurred by Landlord or any party
acting on behalf of Landlord in excess of the lesser of (1) an arms' length rate
or (2) five percent (5%) of the Tenant Improvement Costs; and (G) profit and
overhead charges paid to Landlord or any person controlled by, controlling or
under common control with Landlord. The Excluded Costs shall be borne by
Landlord (or, as may be applicable, Contractor or any other third party) at its
sole cost and expense, without reimbursement from the Tenant Improvement
Allowance.

            (iii) Disbursement. Landlord shall have the right to disburse the
Tenant Improvement Allowance for such Tenant Improvement Costs in accordance
with the provisions of this Work Letter Agreement and in such order as Landlord
shall determine; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Work Letter
Agreement to the contrary, Landlord shall not be authorized to incur, or pay any
portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, overtime wages or like changes to
contractor (or any subcontractors) in connection with the construction of the
Tenant Improvements, unless such overtime has been authorized by Tenant in
writing prior to being incurred, which authorization may be given or withheld in
Tenant's sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall have the right to apply any
portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant's actual, out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees and reimbursable expenses, where applicable) of
Tenant's Agents (defined below), including without limitation, the following
types of fees, costs and expenses: (A) Tenant's third-party construction
manager, (B) purchasing and installing cabling, conduits and/or data or
telecommunications wiring, (C) the design, construction and installation of
Tenant's signage, (D) Tenant's security system and related equipment and the
installation thereof, (E) relocation and moving costs in connection with
Tenant's relocation and move-in to the Premises, (F) movable and built-in
furniture, (G) trade fixtures and other fixtures, (H) modifications or
improvements to the landscaping of the Premises, (I) interior and landscape
design services, (J) Tenant's enforcement of the Design and Construction
Warranties against Architect, the Engineers and/or the Contractor (and any of
Contractor's subcontractors or suppliers), and (K) other interior decorations
intended to be used or installed by Tenant at the Premises. As used herein,
"Tenant's Agents" shall mean collectively, the all contractors, subcontractors,
laborers, materialmen, suppliers and other third-parties directly retained by
Tenant in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant
Improvements, Tenant's relocation to the Premises and (after the date of
Substantial Completion) Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. In the event
that, (1) Tenant desires Landlord to disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance
for Tenant Improvement Costs payable directly by Tenant and (2) in Landlord's
commercially reasonable judgment, the Tenant Improvement Allowance is sufficient
to cover the (a) amount of the Tenant Improvement Costs to be incurred by
Landlord and (b) the amounts desired to be so disbursed by Tenant, Landlord
shall make such disbursements to Tenant pursuant to this Section 2(c)(iii).
Landlord shall not be required to make more than one such disbursement to Tenant
per calendar month and then only if on or before the twenty-fifty (25th) day of
the preceding calendar month, Tenant delivers to Landlord (i) a request for
payment substantially in the form of AIA Document G702, (ii) invoices from all

to be incurred under the recommended bid in connection with the performance of
the Landlord's Work and (ii) the total Excess Costs, if any, to be incurred in

shall use its best, good faith efforts to confer and advise Tenant regarding the
selection of the Bidding Contractor. By no later than the date specified in the
Work Schedule, Landlord and Tenant shall select a Bidding Contractor to perform
the Landlord's Work required pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement, which
Bidding Contractor shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (the
"Contractor"). Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall retain and
engage the Contractor and shall cause the Contractor to mobilize for the
construction of the Tenant Improvements and commence the construction of the
Tenant Improvements by no later than the date specified in the Work Schedule.
After the engagement of Contractor by Landlord pursuant to this Work Letter
Agreement, if Contractor subsequently requests any change order or amendment to
the Construction Contract between Contractor and Landlord ("Change Order
Request"), Landlord shall promptly forward such Change Order Request to Tenant
and Landlord shall not execute or otherwise authorize any Change Order Request
unless Tenant has approved such Change Order Request in writing, which approval
may be withheld in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion exercised in good
faith.

      (e) Delivery of Approved Working Drawings and Permits. Promptly after the
receipt of the Permits, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant copies of the
following: (i) two (2) copies of the plans and specifications approved by the
applicable governmental entities (which plans and specifications shall have been

Letter Agreement) stamped as approved by the applicable governmental entities
and (ii) "ready to issue" documents from applicable governmental entities with
respect to all Permits necessary or required for the Contractor to commence,
perform and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

      (f) Record Set of Drawings. After Substantial Completion, Landlord shall
cause the Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord and Tenant two (2)
complete sets of reproducible copies (and one (1) complete set of AutoCad ".dwg"
(release 13 or higher) files) of the as-built documents for the Tenant
Improvements.

4. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

      (a) Early Occupancy. If Tenant occupies all or any portion of the Premises
or otherwise installs furniture, fixtures or equipment prior to Substantial
Completion (except for work performed by Contractor as part of the Tenant
Improvements), Tenant shall not unreasonably impede or otherwise disrupt the
Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.

      (b) Substantial Completion. Landlord shall cause the Contractor to achieve
the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements by the date specified in
the Work Schedule. For purposes of this Lease, "Substantial Completion" of the
Premises and the Tenant Improvements shall have been achieved upon the
occurrence of each of the following: (i) the substantial completion of
construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working
Drawings, with the exception of any Punch List Items (defined in Section 4(c)
below); (ii) the Architect has delivered a written certification to Tenant that
Substantial Completion has been achieved; (iii) the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy (or equivalent sign-off or approval) from the City of Bothell or other
governmental entity with jurisdiction permitting the full use and occupancy of
the Premises for the purposes permitted under the Lease; (iv) all Base Building
Work is complete and all utilities serving the Premises are operational; (v) all
Building operating and mechanical systems are in good condition and working
order; and (vi) the Premises otherwise are in such a condition so as to
reasonably permit Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises for Tenant's
ordinary

                                   EXHIBIT "B"
                                      -6-
<PAGE>

business purposes. Terms like "Substantially Complete", "Substantially
Completing" and other phrases of like impart shall be deemed to be references to
the Substantial Completion of the Premises and the Tenant Improvements.

      (c) Preparation of Punch List. Once Substantial Completion has occurred,
Landlord shall give Tenant five (5) business days prior notice of a meeting for
Tenant to inspect the Tenant Improvements. Tenant's representative and Architect
shall completely examine the Premises and Tenant's representative and the
Architect shall prepare a list (the "Punch List") of all Punch List Items
(defined below). The list shall be signed by Landlord, Tenant and Landlord's
Contractor and all items shall be completed as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter. Tenant's execution of the Punch List shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of warranty or any of Tenant's rights in connection with defects to the
Tenant Improvements. As used herein, "Punch List Items" shall mean all items of
construction which entail one or more details of construction, decoration,
mechanical adjustment or installation that do not materially and adversely
affect the use and occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the normal
conduct of Tenant's business.

      (d) Assignment of Rights and Warranties. Effective upon final completion
of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall assign to Tenant (i) all rights and
recourse of Landlord against Architect pursuant to the agreement between
Landlord and Architect for the design of the Tenant Improvements, (ii) all
rights and recourse of Landlord against all Engineers pursuant to the agreement
between Landlord and such Engineers for the design of the Tenant Improvements,
and (iii) all rights and recourse of Landlord against Contractor pursuant to the
Construction Contract (including without limitation warranties and guaranties
made by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements) (collectively, the
"Design and Construction Warranties"), pursuant to an assignment in form
reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord shall obtain all costs of Architect,
the Engineers and Contractor required to effect the assignment of the Design and
Construction Warranties to Tenant. After the effective date of the assignment of
the Design and Construction Warranties to Tenant, Landlord shall cooperate with
Tenant's attempts to enforce the Design and Construction Warranties against
Architect, the Engineers and/or Contractor; provided, however, Landlord shall
have no obligation to incur any out of pocket expenses in connection with such
cooperation. Prior to the assignment of the Design and Construction Warranties
to Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, Landlord shall use diligent, good
faith efforts to cause Contractor to use construct the Tenant Improvements in
accordance with the Construction Contract and free from defects. In the event
that Landlord discovers or otherwise determines that any portion of the Tenant
Improvements has not been constructed in accordance with the Contraction
Contract or otherwise is defective, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in
writing.

5. DELAY.

      (a) Tenant Delay. Delays in the achievement of Substantial Completion by
December 12, 2005 on a critical path basis caused by any of the following shall
constitute a "Tenant Delay": (i) Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations
set forth in this Work Letter Agreement by the time deadline set forth in the
Work Schedule or the deadline set forth in this Work Letter Agreement; (ii)
Tenant's request for, and Landlord's implementation and construction of, Tenant
Changes; (iii) any request by Tenant that Landlord delay the completion of any
component of the Landlord's Work; (iv) any breach or default by Tenant in the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Work Letter Agreement or the
Lease; (v) Tenant's failure to pay amounts when due under this Work Letter
Agreement; or (vi) any unreasonable delay resulting from Tenant's having taken
possession of the Premises for any reason, or Tenant's installation of fixtures,
furniture and equipment (except for work performed by Contractor as part of the
Construction Contract), prior to the Substantial Completion of the Landlord's
Work. The Commencement Date shall be accelerated to the date that Landlord would
have achieved Substantial Completion but for the Tenant Delay.

      (b) Permit Delay. As used herein, "Permit Delay" shall mean delays in the
achievement of Substantial Completion by December 12, 2005 on a critical path
basis caused by Landlord's failure to obtain the Permits for reasons beyond
Landlord's reasonable control, despite Landlord's exercise of commercially
reasonable, good faith and diligent efforts, to obtain the Permits when required
pursuant to

                                   EXHIBIT "B"
                                      -7-
<PAGE>

the Work Schedule. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to minimize and mitigate
potential Permit Delays including without limitation by performing pre-permit
work in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements to the
extent feasible. Permit Delay shall not constitute Tenant Delay. Permit Delay
shall not operate to cause the acceleration of the Commencement Date.

      (c) Tenant Option to Accelerate. Upon the occurrence of any Permit Delay
or any Force Majeure Delay, but subject to Landlord's covenants in Section 5(b)

rescheduling of the performance of different components of the Landlord's Work,
to initiate Tenant Changes or to take other measures to mitigate the effect of
the Permit Delay or the Force Majeure Delay (collectively, "Tenant Acceleration
Elections"). Subject to funding from any remaining unspent portion of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall bear any increases in Tenant Improvement
Costs resulting from Tenant Acceleration Elections.

             SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

            THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement"), is made and entered into as of the ___ day of ___________, 200_,
by and among EMULEX DESIGN & MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("Tenant"), whose address is 3333 Susan Street, Costa Mesa, California 92626,
Attention: EVP HR & Facilities and General Counsel, 24000 Development LLC, a
Washington limited liability company ("Landlord"), whose address is
________________________________________________, and _________________, a
________ ("Lender"), whose address is _____________________.

            A. Lender has agreed to make a mortgage loan (the "Loan") to
Landlord secured by a deed of trust (the "Deed of Trust") on Landlord's interest
in the real property legally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the
"Premises")

            B. Tenant is the present lessee under that certain lease, dated as
of August __, 2005, made by and between Tenant, as Tenant, and Landlord, as
Landlord, demising a portion of the Premises and other property (said lease as
so amended being referred to as the "Lease"); and

            C. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tenant has
agreed to subordinate its interest in the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust
so long as, among other things, Lender agrees not to disturb Tenant's possession
of the portion of the Premises covered by the Lease (the "Demised Premises").

            NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

            1. Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, the Lease, and the rights of Tenant in, to and under the Lease and
the Demised Premises, are hereby subjected and subordinated to the lien of the
Deed of Trust, and to any renewal, substitution, extension, modification or
replacement thereof.

<PAGE>

            2. Tenant Not To Be Disturbed. So long as Tenant is not in default
(beyond any period given Tenant by the terms of the Lease to cure such default)
in the payment of rent or additional rent or performance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed, (a)
Tenant's possession of the Demised Premises, and its rights and privileges under
the Lease shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender, and (b) Lender
will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding
foreclosing the Deed of Trust unless such joinder is necessary to foreclose such
Deed of Trust and then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of
terminating the Lease. Lender represents and warrants that it has received and
reviewed a copy of the Lease.

            3. Tenant to Attorn To Lender. If the Premises shall be sold by
reason of foreclosure (whether judicial or non judicial) or other proceedings
brought to enforce the Deed of Trust, or the Premises shall be transferred by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as a direct lease between the then owner of the Premises, who shall succeed to
the rights and duties of the Landlord, and Tenant for the balance of the term
thereof. Tenant shall attorn to Lender or any other such owner as its Landlord,
said attornment to be effective and self operative without the execution of
further instruments; provided, however, that Lender or any such other owner
shall not be (a) personally liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any
prior landlord which cannot be cured; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses
which Tenant might have against Landlord or any prior landlord except to the
extent of Tenant's right to offsets set forth in the Lease; (c) required or
obligated to credit Tenant with any rent or additional rent for any rental
period beyond the then current month which Tenant might have paid Landlord or
any prior landlord, excluding any reconciliations as provided for in the Lease;
or (d) liable for the return of any security deposit unless and only to the
extent such security deposit shall have been actually received by Lender. Tenant
hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any default under the Loan or the
documents evidencing or securing the same, and in the event of a demand on
Tenant by Lender, or its successors and assigns, for the payment to Lender or
its successors and assigns of the rent due under the Lease, Tenant will pay said
rent to Lender and Landlord hereby consents to said payment and releases Tenant
from any and all liability, damages, or claims in connection with any such
payment or payments. Landlord agrees that receipt by Tenant of any such demand
shall be conclusive evidence of the right of Lender to the receipt of said
rental payments. Tenant shall be under no obligation to pay rent to Lender or
any such other owner until Tenant receives written notice from Lender or any
such other owner.

            4. Notice of Default. If Landlord is in material default of one or
more of its obligations under the Lease, Tenant agrees to give written notice
thereof to Lender. Tenant further agrees that Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to cure such default within thirty (30) days or if such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be
reasonably required to complete such cure, provided, that Lender commences such
cure during the initial thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion.

            5. Notice of Discharge. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of the
reconveyance or other release of the Deed of Trust within thirty (30) days after
the date the reconveyance or other release is recorded.

            6. Limitation. This Agreement shall not apply to any equipment,
inventory, merchandise, furniture, fixtures or other personal property owned or
leased by Tenant which is now or hereafter placed or installed on the Demised
Premises, and Tenant shall have the full right to remove said property at any
time during or at the expiration of the Lease term.

            7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery (including delivery by
overnight courier or an

and assigns.

            9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be modified other than by
an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto or by their respective
successors in interest. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way impair or
affect the lien created by the Deed of Trust or the other lien rights of Lender.

of stock subject to ISOs that are first exercisable during such calendar year for any Optionee,

this purpose, an individual shall be considered to be an “employee” only if there exists
between the Corporation or a Subsidiary and the individual the legal and bona fide
relationship of employer and employee. In determining whether such relationship exists, the
regulations of the United States Treasury Department relating to the determination of such
relationship for the purpose of collection of income tax at the source on wages shall be
applied.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Such individual is identified by the Committee as a key employee who is in a position
to significantly influence the long-term success of the Corporation.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the Registration shall not have occurred, such individual must have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment involved in the receipt and/or exercise
of a Right.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Such individual, being otherwise an Eligible Employee under the foregoing items, shall
have been selected by the Committee as a person to whom a Right or Rights shall be granted under
the Plan.

Fair Market Value. With respect to the Corporation’s Common Stock, the market price per

context within which such term is used:

determination is made, then the Fair Market Value will be equal to the closing price
reported by the applicable composite-transactions report for such date;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if on the date as of which such determination is made, quotations for the Common
Stock are regularly listed on the NASDAQ system or another comparable system, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the closing price
for the Common Stock quoted on such system for the trading date as of the date as of which
such determination is made; and if a closing price is not available for such date, then
the fair market value shall be equal to the closing price on the most recent trading day
for which such a price is available;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices furnished by a professional
securities dealer making a market in such shares, as selected by the Committee, for the trading
date first preceding the date as of which such determination is made; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	if the Committee determines that the price as determined above does not represent
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, the Committee may then consider such
other factors as it deems appropriate and then fix the fair market value for the purposes
of this Plan. In such case, the Committee shall maintain a written record of its method
of determining Fair Market Value.

dishonesty, or any other illegal act or practice (whether or not resulting in criminal
prosecution or conviction), or any act or practice which the Committee shall, in good
faith, deem to have resulted in the recipient’s becoming unbondable under the Company’s or
the subsidiary’s fidelity bond;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the willful engaging by the recipient in misconduct which is deemed by the Committee,
in good faith, to be materially injurious to the Company or any subsidiary, monetarily or
otherwise, including, but not limited, improperly disclosing trade secrets or other
confidential or sensitive business information and data about the Company or any
subsidiaries and competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, or soliciting employees,
consultants or customers of the Company in violation of law or any employment or other
agreement to which the recipient is a party; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the willful and continued failure or habitual neglect by the recipient to perform his
or her duties with the Company or the subsidiary substantially in accordance with the
operating and personnel policies and procedures of the Company or the subsidiary generally
applicable to all their employees. For purposes of this Plan, no act or failure to act by

not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the recipient’s action or omission was

ARTICLE II

GENERAL

Section 2.1. Purpose.

The purposes of this Plan are to encourage and motivate Directors and selected key employees to
contribute to the successful performance of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and the growth of
the market value of the Corporation’s Common Stock; to achieve a unity of purpose between such
Directors, employees and shareholders by providing ownership opportunities, and, when viewed in
conjunction with potential benefit plans for members of the Board and the Boards of Directors of
some or all of the Subsidiaries, to achieve a unity of purpose between such employees and directors
in the achievement of the Corporation’s primary long term performance objectives; and to retain
such employees by rewarding them with potentially tax-advantageous future compensation. These
objectives will be promoted through the granting of Rights to designated Eligible Employees and
Directors pursuant to the terms of this Plan

Section 2.2. Administration.

	 	(a)	 	The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may designate any
officers or employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to assist in the administration
of the Plan, to execute documents on behalf of the Committee and to perform such other
ministerial duties as may be delegated to them by the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the determinations and the interpretation
and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and
conclusive upon persons affected thereby. By way of illustration and not of limitation,
the Committee shall have the discretion:

	 	(i)	 	to construe and interpret the Plan and all Rights granted hereunder and to
determine the terms and provisions (and amendments thereof) of the Rights granted
under the Plan (which need not be identical);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to define the terms used in the Plan and in the Rights granted hereunder;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to prescribe, amend and rescind the rules and regulations relating to the
Plan;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to determine the Eligible Employees and Directors to whom and the time or
times at which such Rights shall be granted, the number of shares of Stock, as and
when applicable, to be subject to each Right, the exercise price or, other relevant
purchase price or value pertaining to a Right, and the determination of leaves of
absence which may be granted to Eligible Employees without constituting a termination
of their employment for the purposes of the Plan; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	to make all other determinations and interpretations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.

	 	(c)	 	It shall be in the discretion of the Committee to grant Options to purchase shares of
Stock to Eligible Employees which qualify as ISOs under the Code. Any Options granted
which fail to satisfy the requirements for ISOs shall become Non-Qualified Options.

7

 

	 	(d)	 	The intent of the Corporation is to effect the Registration. In such event, the
Corporation shall make available to Eligible Employees and Directors receiving Rights
and/or shares of Stock in connection therewith all disclosure documents required under
applicable federal and state laws. If such Registration shall not occur, the Committee
shall be responsible for supplying the recipient of a Right and/or shares of Stock in
connection therewith with such information about the Corporation as is contemplated by the
federal and state securities laws in connection with exemptions from the registration
requirements of such laws, as well as providing the recipient of a Right with the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Corporation and the terms
and conditions of the Rights granted under this Plan. In addition, if such Registration
shall not occur, the Committee shall be responsible for determining the maximum number of
Eligible Employees and the suitability of particular persons to be Eligible Employees in
order to comply with applicable federal and state securities statutes and regulations
governing such exemptions.
	 
	 	(e)	 	In determining the Eligible Employees to whom Rights may be granted and the number of shares of Stock to be covered by each Right, the Committee shall take into account the
nature of the services rendered by such Eligible Employees and Directors, their present
and potential contributions to the success of the Corporation and/or a Subsidiary and such
other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant. An Eligible Employee or Director who
has been granted a Right under this Plan may be granted an additional Right or Rights
under this Plan if the Committee shall so determine. If pursuant to the terms of this
Plan, or otherwise in connection with this Plan, it is necessary that the percentage of
stock ownership of an Eligible Employee be determined, the ownership attribution
provisions set forth in Section 424(d) of the Code shall be controlling.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The granting of Rights pursuant to this Plan is in the exclusive discretion of the
Committee, and until the Committee acts, no individual shall have any rights under this
Plan. The terms of this Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with this intent.

Section 2.3. Stock Available For Rights.

	 	(a)	 	Shares of the Stock shall be subject to, or underlying, grants of Options, Restricted
Stock, SARs and Units under this Plan. The total number of shares of Stock for which, or
with respect to which, Rights may be granted (including the number of shares of Stock in
respect of which SARs and Units may be granted) under this Plan shall be those designated
in the Plan Pool. In the event that a Right granted under this Plan to any Eligible
Employee or Director expires or is terminated unexercised as to any shares of Stock
covered thereby, such shares thereafter shall be deemed available in the Plan Pool for the
granting of Rights under this Plan; provided, however, if the expiration or termination
date of a Right is beyond the term of existence of this Plan as described in Section 7.3,
then any shares of Stock covered by unexercised or terminated Rights shall not reactivate
the existence of this Plan and therefore shall not be available for additional grants of
Rights under this Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased, changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities as a result of a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, share exchange
acquisition, combination or reclassification, appropriate proportionate adjustments will
be made in: (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of shares of Stock in the Plan Pool that
may be issued pursuant to the exercise of, or that are underlying, Rights granted
hereunder; (ii) the exercise or other purchase price or value pertaining to, and the
number and/or kind of shares of Stock called for

8

 

	 	 	 	with respect to, or underlying, each outstanding Right granted hereunder; and (iii) other
rights and matters determined on a per share basis under this Plan or any Rights
Agreement. Any such adjustments will be made only by the Committee and when so approved
will be effective, conclusive and binding for all purposes with respect to this Plan and
all Rights then outstanding. No such adjustments will be required by reason of (i) the
issuance or sale by the Corporation for cash of additional shares of its Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Common Stock, or (ii) the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of the capital stock of any
corporation, financial institution or other organization acquired by the Corporation or
any Subsidiary in connection therewith.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The grant of a Right pursuant to this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassification, reorganizations or changes
of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under this Plan for any adjustment
under Section 2.3(b).

Section 2.4. Severable Provisions.

The Corporation intends that the provisions of each of Articles III, IV, V and VI, in each case
together with Articles I, II and VII, shall each be deemed to be effective on an independent basis,
and that if one or more of such Articles, or the operative provisions thereof, shall be deemed
invalid, void or voidable, the remainder of such Articles shall continue in full force and effect.

Article III

OPTIONS

Section 3.1. Grant of Options.

	 	(a)	 	The Company may grant Options to Eligible Employees as provided in this Article III.
Options will be deemed granted pursuant to this Article III only upon (i) authorization by the
Committee, and (ii) the execution and delivery of an Option Agreement by the Optionee and a duly
authorized officer of the Company. The aggregate number of shares of Stock potentially acquirable
under all Options granted shall not exceed the total number of shares of Stock remaining in the
Plan Pool, less all shares of Stock potentially acquired under, or underlying, all other Rights
outstanding under this Plan, except that Options for not more than 150,000 shares of Stock may be
granted as ISOs.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Committee shall designate Options at the time a grant is authorized as either ISOs or
Non-Qualified Options. ISOs may only be granted to Eligible Employees. In accordance with Section
422 (d) of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an ISO is granted)
of the shares of Stock as to which an ISO may first become exercisable by an Optionee in a
particular calendar year may not exceed the Annual Vesting Amount. If an Optionee is granted
Options in excess of the Annual Vesting Amount, or if such Options otherwise become exercisable
with respect to a number of shares of Stock which would exceed the Annual Vesting Amount, such
excess Options shall be Non-Qualified Options.

9

 

Section 3.2. Exercise Price.

The initial Exercise Price of each Option granted under this Plan shall be determined by the
Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less
than (i) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option, in the case
of any Eligible Employee who does not own stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of the capital stock of the Company (within the meaning of
Section 422 (b) (6) of the Code), or (ii) one hundred and ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market
Value in the case of any Eligible Employee who owns stock in excess of such amount.

Section 3.3. Terms and Conditions of Options.

	 	(a)	 	All Options must be granted within ten (10) years of the Effective Date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Committee may grant ISOs and Non-Qualifed Options, either separately or jointly,
to an Eligible Employee. Directors are only eligible to be granted Non-Qualified Options
by the Committee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each grant of Options shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Committee in its discretion, consistent with the provisions of this
Article III.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Nothing contained in Article III, any Option Agreement or in any other agreement executed
in connection with the granting of an Option to an Eligible Employee under this Article III will
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his or her status as an
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Except as otherwise provided herein, each Option Agreement may specify the Vesting
Period with respect to the total number of shares of Stock acquirable thereunder. Such
Vesting Periods will be fixed by the Committee in its discretion, and may be accelerated
or shortened by the Committee in its discretion.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Not less than one hundred (100) shares of Stock may be purchased at any one time
through the exercise of an Option unless the number purchased is the total number at that
time purchasable under all Options granted to the Optionee.
	 
	 	(g)	 	An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any
shares of Stock covered by Options granted to the Optionee until payment in full of the
Exercise Price by such Optionee for the shares being purchased. No adjustment shall be
made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such Stock is fully paid for, except as provided in Section 2.3(b).

Section 3.4. Exercise of Options.

	 	(a)	 	An Optionee must be an Eligible Employee or Director at all times from the date of
grant until the exercise of the Options granted, except as provided in Section 3.5.
	 
	 	(b)	 	An Option may be exercised to the extent exercisable (i) by giving written notice of
exercise to the Company, specifying the number of full shares of Stock to be purchased
and, if

10

 

	 	 	 	applicable, accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price thereof and the
amount of the Tax
Withholding Liability pursuant to Section 3.4(c) below; and (ii) by giving assurances
satisfactory to the Company that the shares of Stock to be purchased upon such exercise
are being purchased for investment and not with a view to resale in connection with any
distribution of such shares in violation of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that in the
event the prior occurrence of the Registration or in the event resale of such Stock
without such Registration would otherwise be permissible, this second condition will be
inoperative if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such condition is not required
under the 1933 Act or any other applicable law, regulation or rule of any governmental
agency.
	 
	 	(c)	 	As a condition to the issuance of the shares of Stock upon full or partial exercise
of a Non-Qualified Option, the Optionee will pay to the Company in cash, or in such other
form as the Committee may determine in its discretion, the amount of the Company’s Tax
Withholding Liability required in connection with such exercise.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Exercise Price of an Option shall be payable to the Company either (i) in United
States dollars, in cash or by check, or money order payable to the order of the Company,
or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, through the delivery of shares of the Stock
owned by the Optionee (including, if the Committee so permits, a portion of the shares of
Stock as to which the Option is then being exercised) with a Fair Market Value as of the
date of delivery equal to the Exercise Price, or (iii) at the discretion of the Committee,
by a combination of (i) and (ii) above. No shares of Stock shall be delivered until full
payment has been made.

Section 3.5. Term and Termination of Option.

	 	(a)	 	The Committee shall determine, and each Option Agreement shall state, the expiration
date or dates of each Option, but such expiration date shall be not later than ten (10)
years after the date such Option was granted. In the event an ISO is granted to a 10%
Shareholder, the expiration date or dates of each Option Period shall be not later than
five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. The Committee may extend the
expiration date or dates of an Option Period of any Non-Qualified Option after such date
was originally set; provided, however such expiration date may not exceed the maximum
expiration date described in this Section 3.5(a).
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee either by reason of (i)
Just Cause Termination, or (ii) voluntary separation on the part of such Optionee for a
reason other than Retirement or Disability, any Option or Options granted to the Optionee
under this Plan, to the extent not previously exercised or surrendered by the Optionee, or
expired by their terms, shall immediately terminate.
	 
	 	(c)	 	In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee as a result of such
Optionee’s Retirement, such Optionee shall have the right to exercise any Option or
Options granted to the Optionee under this Plan, to the extent that they have not
previously been exercised or surrendered by the Optionee, or expired by their terms, for a
period of three (3) months after the date of retirement, but in no event may any Option be
exercised later than the end of the Option Period. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein, or in any Option Agreement, upon Retirement, any Option then held by an
Optionee shall be exercisable immediately in full.

11

 

	 	(d)	 	In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee by reason of such
Optionee’s Disability, such Optionee shall have the right to exercise any Option or
Options held by the
Optionee, to the extent that they previously have not been exercised or surrendered by
the Optionee, or expired by their terms, notwithstanding any limitations placed on the
exercise of such Options by this Plan or an Option Agreement, immediately in full and at
any time within twelve (12) months after the last date on which such Optionee provides
services as an officer or an employee of the Corporation before being disabled, but in no
event may any Option be exercised later than the end of the Option Period.
	 
	 	(e)	 	In the event that an Optionee should die while employed by the Corporation, or within
three (3) months after Retirement, any Option or Options granted to the Optionee under
this Plan and not previously exercised or surrendered by the Optionee, or expired by their
terms, shall vest and shall be exercisable, according to their respective terms, by the
personal representative of such Optionee or by any person or persons who acquired such
Options by bequest or inheritance from such Optionee, notwithstanding any limitations
placed on the exercise of such Options by this Plan or any Option Agreement, immediately
in full and at any time within twelve (12) months after the date of death of such
Optionee, but in no event may any Option be exercised later than the end of the Option
Period. Any references herein to an Optionee shall be deemed to include any person
entitled to exercise an Option under the terms of this Plan after the death of such
Optionee.

Section 3.6. Change in Control Transaction.

At any time prior to the date of consummation of a Change in Control Transaction, the Committee
may, in its absolute discretion, determine that all or any part of the Options theretofore granted
under this Article III shall become immediately exercisable in full and may thereafter be exercised
at any time before the date of consummation of the Change in Control Transaction (except as
otherwise provided in Article II hereof, and except to the extent that such acceleration of
exercisability would result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Code).

Section 3.7. Restrictions On Transfer.

An Option granted under Article III may not be Transferred except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Optionee to whom it was granted, may be exercised
only by such Optionee.

Section 3.8. Stock Certificates.

Certificates representing the Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will bear all
legends required by law and necessary to effectuate the provisions hereof. The Company may place a
“stop transfer” order against such shares of Stock until all restrictions and conditions set forth
in this Article III, the applicable Option Agreement, and in the legends referred to in this
Section 3.8 have been complied with.

12

 

Section 3.9. Amendment and Discontinuance.

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions
are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve months of the date
that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to:

	 	(a)	 	Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to all Rights under
the Plan, except as contemplated in Section 2.3(b) hereof; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	Change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options that may
participate in the Plan.

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a Optionee’s rights
under an Option Agreement without the consent of the Optionee or his legal representative.

Article IV

RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS

Section 4.1 Grants of Restricted Stock.

	 	(a)	 	The Company may issue Restricted Stock to Eligible Employees and Directors as
provided in this Article IV. Restricted Stock will be deemed issued only upon (i)
authorization by the Committee, and (ii) the execution and delivery of a Restricted Stock
Grant Agreement by the person to whom such Restricted Stock is to be issued and a duly
authorized officer of the Company.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each issuance of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Article IV will be evidenced by a
Restricted Stock Grant Agreement between the Company and the Holder in form and substance
satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with this Article IV.
Each Restricted Stock Grant Agreement will specify the purchase price per share, if any,
paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, such amount to be fixed by the Committee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Without limiting the foregoing, each Restricted Stock Grant Agreement shall set forth
the terms and conditions of any forfeiture provisions regarding the Restricted Stock,
(including any provisions for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control
Transaction) as determined by the Committee.
	 
	 	(d)	 	At the discretion of the Committee, the Holder, as a condition to such issuance, may
be required to pay to the Corporation in cash, or in such other form as the Committee may
determine in its discretion, the amount of the Corporation’s Tax Withholding Liability
required in connection with such issuance.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Nothing contained in this Article IV, any Restricted Stock Grant Agreement, or any
other agreement executed in connection with the issuance of Restricted Stock under this
Article IV will confer upon any Holder any right with respect to the continuation of his
or her status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

13

 

Section 4.2. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Stock.

	 	(a)	 	Shares of Restricted Stock acquired by a Holder may be Transferred only in accordance
with the specific limitations on the Transfer of Restricted Stock imposed by applicable
state or federal securities laws or set forth below, and subject to certain undertakings
of the transferee set forth in Section 4.2(c). All Transfers of Restricted Stock not
meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 4.2 are expressly prohibited.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any prohibited Transfer of Restricted Stock is void and of no effect. Should such a
Transfer purport to occur, the Company may refuse to carry out the Transfer on its books,
attempt to set aside the Transfer, enforce any undertaking or right under this Section
4.2, and/or exercise any other legal or equitable remedy.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Any Transfer of Restricted Stock that would otherwise be permitted under the terms of
this Plan is prohibited unless the transferee executes such documents as the Company may
reasonably require to ensure the Company’s rights under a Restricted Stock Grant Agreement
and this Article IV are adequately protected with respect to the Restricted Stock so
Transferred. Such documents may include, without limitation, an agreement by the
transferee to be bound by all of the terms of this Plan applicable to Restricted Stock and
of the applicable Restricted Stock Grant Agreement, as if the transferee were the original
Holder of such Restricted Stock.
	 
	 	(d)	 	To facilitate the enforcement of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this
Article IV, the Committee may, at its discretion, require the Holder of shares of
Restricted Stock to deliver the certificate(s) for such shares with a stock power executed
in blank by the Holder and the Holder’s spouse, to the Secretary of the Company or his or
her designee, and the Company may hold said certificate(s) and stock power(s) in escrow
and take all such actions as are necessary to insure that all Transfers and/or releases
are made in accordance with the terms of this Plan. The certificates may be held in
escrow so long as the shares of Restricted Stock whose ownership they evidence are subject
to any restriction on Transfer under this Article IV or under a Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges that the Secretary of the Company (or his or her
designee) is so appointed as the escrow agent with the foregoing authorities as a material
inducement to the issuance of shares of Restricted Stock under this Article IV, that the
appointment is coupled with an interest, and that it accordingly will be irrevocable. The
escrow agent will not be liable to any party to a Restricted Stock Grant Agreement (or to
any other party) for any actions or omissions unless the escrow agent is grossly negligent
relative thereto. The escrow agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document
executed by any signature purported to be genuine.

Section 4.3. Compliance with Law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, Restricted Stock may be issued pursuant to
this Article IV only after there has been compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws, and such issuance will be subject to this overriding condition. The Company may
include shares of Restricted Stock in a Registration, but will not be required to register or
qualify Restricted Stock with the SEC or any state agency, except that the Company will register
with, or as required by local law, file for and secure an exemption from such registration
requirements from the applicable securities administrator and other officials of each jurisdiction
in which a Holder would be issued Restricted Stock hereunder prior to such issuance.

14

 

Section 4.4. Stock Certificates.

Certificates representing the Restricted Stock issued pursuant to this Article IV will bear all
legends required by law and necessary to effectuate the provisions hereof. The Company may place a
“stop transfer” order against shares of Restricted Stock until all restrictions and conditions set
forth in this Article IV, the applicable Restricted Stock Grant Agreement and the legends referred
to in this Section 4.4 have been complied with.

Section 4.5. Market Standoff.

To the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter of securities of the Company in
connection with a firm commitment underwriting, no Holder of any shares of Restricted Stock will
Transfer any such shares not included in such underwriting, or not previously registered in a
Registration, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the effective date of the
registration statement filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act in connection with such offering.

Section 4.6. Amendment and Discontinuance.

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions
are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve months of the date
that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to:

	 	(a)	 	Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to all Rights under
the Plan, except as contemplated in Section 2.3(b) hereof; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation under this Article IV.

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a Holder’s rights
under a Restricted Stock Agreement without the consent of the Holder or his legal representative.

Article V

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION UNITS

Section 5.1. Awards of Units.

	 	(a)	 	The Company may grant awards of Units to Eligible Employees as provided in this
Article V. Units will be deemed granted only upon (i) authorization by the Committee, and
(ii) the execution and delivery of a Unit Agreement by the Eligible Employee to whom Units
are to be granted and an authorized officer of the Company. Units may be granted in each
of the years 2004 through 2014 in such amounts and to such Unit Recipients as the
Committee may determine, subject to the limitations in Section 5.2 below.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each grant of Units pursuant to this Article V will be evidenced by a Unit Award
Agreement between the Company and the Unit Recipient in form and substance satisfactory to
the Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with this Article V.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as otherwise provided herein, Units will be distributed only after the end of
the Performance Period. The Performance Period shall be set by the Committee for each
year’s awards.

15

 

	 	(d)	 	The percentage of the Units awarded under this Section 5.1 or credited pursuant to
Section 5.5 that will be distributed to Unit Recipients shall depend on the levels of
financial performance and other performance objectives achieved during each year of the
Performance Period; provided, however, that the Committee may adopt one or more
performance categories or eliminate all performance categories other than financial
performance. Financial performance shall be based on the consolidated results of the
Company and its Subsidiaries prepared on the same basis as the financial statements
published for financial reporting purposes and determined in accordance with Section
5.1(e) below. Other performance categories adopted by the Committee shall be based on
measurements of performance as the Committee shall deem appropriate.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Distributions of Units awarded will be based on the Company’s financial performance
with results from other performance categories applied as a factor, not exceeding one (1),
against financial results. The annual financial and other performance results will be
averaged over the Performance Period and translated into percentage factors according to
graduated criteria established by the Committee for the entire Performance Period. The
resulting percentage factors shall determine the percentage of Units that will be
converted to Retained Units. No conversion to Retained Units shall be made if a minimum
average percentage of the applicable measurement of performance, financial and other, to
be established by the Committee is not achieved for the Performance Period. The
performance levels achieved for each Performance Period and percentage of Units converted
to Retained Units shall be conclusively determined by the Committee.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The percentage of Units awarded which are converted to Retained Units based on the
levels of performance (including any Units credited under Section 5.5) will be determined
as soon as practicable after each Performance Period.
	 
	 	(g)	 	As soon as practical after determination of the number of Retained Units, such
Retained Units shall be distributed in the form of a combination of shares and cash in the
relative percentages as between the two as determined by the Committee. Units that have
been awarded, but which do not become Retained Units, shall be canceled.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Notwithstanding any provision in this Article V other than Section 5.2, if the
Committee determines that it is appropriate under the circumstances, the Committee may
award to any Eligible Employee by virtue of hire, promotion or upgrade to a higher job
grade classification, or special individual circumstances, an award of Units, with respect
to one or more Performance Periods that began in prior years and at the time of the award
have not yet been completed.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may reduce or
eliminate awards to a Unit Recipient who has been demoted to a lower job grade
classification, and where circumstances warrant, may permit continued participation,
proration or early distribution, or a combination thereof, of awards which would otherwise
be canceled.

Section 5.2. Limitations.

The aggregate number of shares of Stock potentially distributable under all Units granted,
including any Units credited pursuant to Section 5.5, shall not exceed the total number of shares
of Stock remaining in

16

 

the Plan Pool, less all shares of Stock potentially acquirable under, or
underlying, all other Rights outstanding under this Plan.

Section 5.3. Terms and Conditions.

	 	(a)	 	All awards of Units must be made within ten (10) years of the Effective Date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The award of Units shall be evidenced by a Unit Award Agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Committee in its discretion, consistent with the provisions of this Article V.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Nothing contained in this Article V, any Unit Award Agreement or in any other
agreement executed in connection with the award of Units under this Article V will confer
upon any Unit Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her status as
an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	(d)	 	A Unit Recipient shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to
any Units until the Retained Unit has been converted into shares of Stock. No adjustment
shall be made in the number of Units for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date such Stock is fully paid for, except as provided in Sections
2.3(b) and 5.6(a).

Section 5.4. Special Distribution Rules.

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, a Unit Recipient must be an
Eligible Employee from the date a Unit is awarded to him or her continuously through and
including the date of conversion to a Retained Unit.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In case of the Death or Disability of a Unit Recipient prior to the end of any
Performance Period, the number of Retained Units converted for the Unit Recipient for such
Performance Period shall be reduced pro rata based on the number of months remaining in
the Performance Period after the month of Death or Disability. The Retained Units,
reduced in the discretion of the Committee to the percentage indicated by the levels of
performance achieved prior to the date of Death or Disability, if any, shall be
distributed in cash or Stock within a reasonable time after Death or Disability. All
other Units awarded to the Unit Recipient for such Performance Period shall be canceled.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a Unit Recipient enters into Retirement prior to the end of any Performance
Period, the Units converted to Retained Units for such Unit Recipient shall be prorated to
the end of the year in which such Retirement occurs and distributed in cash or Stock at
the end of the Performance Period based upon the Company’s performance for such period.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In the event of the termination of the Unit Recipient’s status as an Eligible
Employee prior to the end of any Performance Period for any reason other than Death,
Disability or Retirement, all Units awarded to the Unit Recipient with respect to any such
Performance Period shall be immediately forfeited and canceled.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Upon a Unit Recipient’s promotion to a higher job grade classification, the Committee
may award to the Unit Recipient the total Units, or any portion thereof, which are
associated with the higher job grade classification for the then current Performance
Period.

17

 

Section 5.5. Dividend Equivalent Units.

The Committee may provide in a grant and in the Unit Agreement that on each record date for
dividends on the Common Stock, an amount equal to the dividend payable on one share of Common Stock
will be determined and credited on the payment date to each Unit Recipient’s account for each Unit
which has been awarded to the Unit Recipient and not converted to a Retained Unit or canceled.
Such amount will be converted within the account to an additional number of Units equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at Fair Market Value on such dividend
payment date. These Units will be treated for purposes of this Article V in the same manner as
those Units granted pursuant to Section 5.1.

Section 5.6. Adjustments.

	 	(a)	 	In addition to the provisions of Section 2.3(b), if an extraordinary change occurs
during a Performance Period which significantly alters the basis upon which the
performance levels were established under Section 5.1 for that Performance Period, to
avoid distortion in the operation of this Article V, but subject to Section 5.2, the
Committee may make adjustments in such performance levels to preserve the incentive
features of this Article V, whether before or after the end of the Performance Period, to
the extent it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, which adjustments shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties concerned. Such changes may include, without
limitation, adoption of, or changes in, accounting practices, tax laws and regulatory or
other laws or regulations; economic changes not in the ordinary course of business cycles;
significant corporate transactions; or compliance with judicial decrees or other legal
authorities.
	 
	 	(b)	 	At any time prior to the date of consummation of a Change in Control Transaction, the
Committee may determine that all or any part of the Units theretofore awarded under this
Article V shall become immediately Retained Units (reduced pro rata based on the number of
months remaining in the Performance Period after the consummation of the Change in Control
Transaction) and may thereafter be distributed in cash or Stock at any time before the
date of consummation of the Change in Control Transaction (except as otherwise provided in
Article II hereof, and except to the extent that such acceleration of distribution would
result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code).

Section 5.7. Other Conditions.

	 	(a)	 	No person shall have any claim to be granted an award of Units under this Article V
and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Employees or Unit
Recipients under this Article IV.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Company shall have the right to deduct from any distribution or payment in cash
under this Article V, and the Unit Recipient or other person receiving shares of Stock
under this Article V shall be required to pay to the Company any Tax Withholding
Liability. The number of shares of Stock to be distributed to any individual Unit
Recipient may be reduced by the number of shares of Stock, the Fair Market Value of which
on the Distribution Date is equivalent to the cash necessary to pay any Tax Withholding
Liability, where the cash to be distributed is not sufficient to pay such Tax Withholding
Liability, or the Unit Recipient may deliver to the Company cash sufficient to pay such
Tax Withholding Liability.

18

 

	 	(c)	 	Any distribution of shares of Stock under this Article V may be delayed until the
requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, and any stock exchange or applicable
NASDAQ requirements, are satisfied. The shares of Stock distributed under this Article V
shall be
subject to such restrictions and conditions on disposition as counsel for the Company
shall determine to be desirable or necessary under applicable law.
	 
	 	(d)	 	For the purpose of distribution of Units in cash, the value of a Unit shall be the
Fair Market Value on the Distribution Date.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, no Dividend Equivalent Credits
shall be made and no conversion of Dividend Equivalent Units to Retained Units shall be
made if at the time a Dividend Equivalent Credit or conversion of Dividend Equivalent
Units to Retained Units would otherwise have been made:

	 	(i)	 	The regular dividend on the Common Stock has been omitted and not
subsequently paid or there exists any default in payment of dividends on any such
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation:
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The rate of dividends on the Common Stock is lower than at the time the
Dividend Equivalent Units were awarded, adjusted for any change of the type referred
to in Section 2.3(b).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Estimated consolidated net income of the Corporation for the
twelve-month period preceding the month the Dividend Equivalent Credit or conversion
of Dividend Equivalent Units to Retained Units would otherwise have been made is
less than the sum of the amount of the Dividend Equivalent Credits and Retained
Units eligible for distribution under this Article V in that month plus all
dividends applicable to such period on an accrual basis, either paid, declared or
accrued at the most recently paid rate, on all outstanding shares of Common Stock;
or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Dividend Equivalent Credit or conversion of Dividend Equivalent Units
to Retained Units would result in a default in any agreement by which the
Corporation is bound.

	 	(f)	 	In the event net income available under Section 5.7(e) above for Dividend Equivalent
Credits and conversion of Dividend Equivalent Units to Retained Units is sufficient to
cover part but not all of such amounts, the following order shall be applied in making
payments: (i) Dividend Equivalent Credits, and then (ii) conversion of Dividend Equivalent
Units to Retained Units.

Section 5.8. Designation of Beneficiaries.

A Unit Recipient may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or part of the Stock
and/or cash to be distributed to the Unit Recipient under this Article V in case of Death. A
designation of beneficiary may be replaced by a new designation or may be revoked by the Unit
Recipient at any time. A designation or revocation shall be on a form to be provided for that
purpose and shall be signed by the Unit Recipient and delivered to the Corporation prior to the
Unit Recipient’s Death. In case of the Unit Recipient’s Death, any amounts to be distributed to
the Unit Recipient under this Article V with respect to which a designation of beneficiary has been
made (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be distributed in
accordance with this Article V to the designated beneficiary or

19

 

beneficiaries. The amount
distributable to a Unit Recipient upon Death and not subject to such a designation shall be
distributed to the Unit Recipient’s estate. If there shall be any question as to the legal right
of any beneficiary to receive a distribution under this Article V, the amount in question may be
paid to the estate of the Unit Recipient, in which event the Corporation shall have no further
liability to anyone with respect to such amount.

Section 5.9. Restrictions On Transfer.

Units granted under Article V may not be Transferred, except as provided in Section 5.8, and,
during the lifetime of the Unit Recipient to whom it was awarded, cash and Stock receivable with
respect to Retained Units may be received only by such Unit Recipient.

Section 5.10. Amendment and Discontinuance.

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions
are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve months of the date
that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to:

	 	(a)	 	Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to all Rights under
the Plan, except as contemplated in Section 2.3(b) hereof; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation under this Article V.

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a Unit Recipient’s
rights under a Unit Award Agreement without the consent of the Unit Recipient or his legal
representative.

No award of Units may be granted under this Article V after December 31, 2012.

Article VI

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

Section 6.1. Grants of SARs.

	 	(a)	 	The Corporation may grant SARs under this Article VI. SARs will be deemed granted
only upon (i) authorization by the Committee, and (ii) the execution and delivery of a SAR
Agreement by the Eligible Employee to whom the SARs are to be granted and a duly
authorized officer of the Corporation. The aggregate number of shares of Stock which
shall underlie SARs granted hereunder shall not exceed the total number of shares of Stock
remaining in the Plan Pool, less all shares of Stock potentially acquirable under or
underlying all other Rights outstanding under this Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each grant of SARs pursuant to this Article VI shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement
between the Corporation and the SAR Recipient, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with this Article VI.

Section 6.2. Terms and Conditions of SARs.

	 	(a)	 	All SARs must be granted within ten (10) years of the Effective Date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each SAR issued pursuant to this Article VI shall have an initial Base Value.

20

 

	 	(c)	 	Nothing contained in this Article VI, any SAR Agreement or in any other agreement
executed in connection with the granting of a SAR under this Article VI will confer upon
any SAR Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her status as an
employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Except as otherwise provided herein, each SAR Agreement may specify the SAR Vesting
Period. Such SAR Vesting Periods will be fixed by the Committee and may be accelerated
or shortened by the Committee.
	 
	 	(e)	 	SARs relating to less than one hundred (100) shares of Stock may not be exercised at
any one time unless the number exercised is the total number at that time exercisable
under all SARs granted to the SAR Recipient.
	 
	 	(f)	 	A SAR Recipient shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect
to any shares of Stock underlying such SAR. No adjustment shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Stock is
fully paid for, except as provided in Sections 2.3(b) and 6.2(c).

Section 6.3. Restrictions On Transfer of SARs.

SARs granted under this Article VI may not be Transferred, except as provided in Section 6.7, and
during the lifetime of the SAR Recipient to whom it was granted, may be exercised only by such SAR
Recipient.

Section 6.4. Exercise of SARs.

	 	(a)	 	A SAR Recipient (or his or her executors or administrators, or heirs or legatees)
shall exercise a SAR by giving written notice of such exercise to the Corporation. SARs
may be exercised only upon the completion of the SAR Vesting Period, if any, applicable to
such SAR.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Within ten (10) business days of the SAR Exercise Date applicable to a SAR exercised
in accordance with Section 6.4(a), the SAR Recipient shall be paid in cash the difference
between the Base Value of such SAR (as adjusted, if applicable under Section 6.2(c), as of
the most recently preceding quarterly period) and the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock as of the SAR Exercise Date, as such difference is reduced by the Company’s Tax
Withholding Liability arising from such exercise.

Section 6.5. Termination of SARs.

The Committee shall determine, and each SAR Agreement shall state the SAR Period. The Committee
may extend the expiration date or dates of a SAR Period after such date is originally set;
provided, however, such expiration date may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant of the SAR.

21

 

Section 6.6. Change in Control Transaction.

At any time prior to the date or consummation of a Change in Control Transaction, the Committee
may, in its absolute discretion, determine that all or any part of the SARs theretofore granted
under this Article VI shall become immediately exercisable in full and may thereafter be exercised
at any time before the date of consummation of the Change in Control Transaction (except as
otherwise provided in Article II hereof, and except to the extent that such acceleration of
exercisability would result in an excess parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Code).

Section 6.7. Designation of Beneficiaries.

A SAR Recipient may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or part of the cash to
be paid to the SAR Recipient under this Article VI in case of Death. A designation of beneficiary
may be replaced by a new designation or may be revoked by the SAR Recipient at any time. A
designation or revocation shall be on a form to be provided for that purpose and shall be signed by
the SAR Recipient and delivered to the Corporation prior to the SAR Recipient’s Death. In case of
the SAR Recipient’s Death, the amounts to be distributed to the SAR Recipient under this Article VI
with respect to which a designation of beneficiary has been made (to the extent it is valid and
enforceable under applicable law) shall be distributed in accordance with this Article VI to the
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. The amount distributable to a SAR Recipient upon Death
and not subject to such a designation shall be distributed to the SAR Recipient’s estate. If there
shall be any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution under this
Article VI, the amount in question may be paid to the estate of the SAR Recipient in which event
the Corporation shall have no further liability to anyone with respect to such amount.

Section 6.8. Amendment and Discontinuance.

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions
are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Corporation within twelve months of the date
that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to:

	 	(a)	 	Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to all Rights under
the Plan, except as contemplated in Section 2.3(b) hereof; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation under this Article VI.

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a SAR Recipient’s
rights under a SAR Agreement without the consent of the SAR Recipient or his legal representative.
