First Amendment of Asset Purchase Agreement

 Exhibit 10.15(b) 
  
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
  
 This First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August 31,
2005 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Tully’s Coffee Japan Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Japan (“Buyer”), and Tully’s Coffee Corporation, a Washington corporation
(“Seller”). Each of Buyer and Seller is a “Party” and together, the “Parties.” 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. The Parties entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) as of August 19, 2005. 
  
 B. Buyer and Seller have agreed that the Closing and payment of the purchase
price shall occur no earlier than 12:01 a.m. Tokyo Time on September 1, 2005 and no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on August 31, 2005. Assuming such Closing Date, (i) the Parties have also determined that the relevant Tax Filing Date is
October 10, 2005, and (ii) the Seller has instructed Buyer that the KCL Payoff Amount is $1,169,098.72. 
  
 C. Assuming the Closing Date is prior to the filing and acceptance of the Exemption Notice, the Parties acknowledge that (i) the Buyer’s obligations
to pay the Purchase Price at Closing shall be fulfilled if the Buyer wire transfers $1,169,098.72 to KCL and $12,649,746.19 to Seller, subject to the obligations of Seller with respect to the Remitted Amount, and (ii) the Remitted Amount is
$3,681,155.09. 
  
 D. The Parties wish to amend certain provisions
of the Agreement to reflect the treatment of withholding taxes in connection with the Closing. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises contained in this Amendment, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Section 3.7(b) of the Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows: 
  
 3.7 Withholding Taxes. 
  
 (b) If the Closing Date occurs after the filing and
acceptance of the Exemption Notice, Buyer shall not withhold any taxes from Seller on the Purchase Price paid to Seller or to KCL after the filing of the Exemption Notice. Buyer and Seller have also independently determined that until such time as
the Exemption Notice is filed with and accepted by the Japanese Tax Office, Japanese income tax withholding would apply to the Purchase Price paid to Seller. Buyer and Seller have determined that if the Exemption Notice is filed and accepted after
the Closing Date but prior to the due date designated by the Japanese Tax Office for the remittance of tax withheld on the Closing Date (the “Tax Filing Date”), Buyer is not required to remit the tax withholding to the
Japanese Tax Office and would be permitted to refund any withheld amounts to Seller. However, if such taxes have been withheld and the Exemption Notice has not been filed with and accepted by the Japanese Tax Office prior to the Tax Filing

Date, then Buyer would be required to remit the withheld tax to the Japanese Tax Office on the Tax Filing Date and such taxes would be subject to
Seller’s tax refund claim to the Japanese Tax Office, for reasons of the tax treaty exemption, after the Exemption Notice is filed and accepted. If the Closing Date is prior to the filing and acceptance of the Exemption Notice, Buyer shall
deduct and withhold tax at the rate of 20% on the Purchase Price paid to Seller prior to the filing of the Exemption Notice (the “Remitted Amount”); provided that the KCL Payoff Amount will not be adjusted as a result of such
withholding tax and the applicable withholding tax shall decrease the amount of the Purchase Price paid to Seller, and Buyer shall hold the Remitted Amount as custodian for the benefit of Seller until the Remitted Amount has been fully paid to
Seller or to the Japanese Tax Office as described below. If the Exemption Notice is filed with and accepted by the Japanese Tax Office prior to the Tax Filing Date, Buyer shall pay the Remitted Amount, without deduction or offset, to Seller by wire
transfer on or before October 7, 2005. On the Tax Filing Date, if the Remitted Amount has not already been paid to Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall pay the Remitted Amount to the Japanese Tax Office using the proper
remittance form, which shall be reviewed with Seller prior to filing, and promptly furnish Seller with official receipt from the Japanese Tax Office evidencing the payment of the Remitted Amount. The Remitted Amount shall be treated as a payment of
the Purchase Price at the time as it is either paid to Seller or paid to the Japanese Tax Office as provided in this Section 3.7; provided, however, that the Remitted Amount does not need to be paid to Seller or paid to the Japanese Tax Office for
the Closing to occur. In the event that the Remitted Amount has been deducted from the payment to Seller and remitted to the Japanese Tax Office pursuant to this paragraph, Seller shall promptly prepare (at its expense) a request for refund of the
Remitted Amount (“Request for Refund”) and will furnish it to Buyer for purposes of filing. Buyer will promptly file (at Seller’s expense) the Request for Refund with the Japanese Tax Office and will notify Seller when
the filing has been made. Buyer shall not be responsible for any failure of Seller to timely furnish the Request for Refund to the Buyer. The refund proceeds paid by the Japanese Tax Office pursuant to the Request for Refund (the “Refund
Amount”) shall be solely for the account of Seller and shall not be an asset of Buyer. In the event that the Japanese Tax Office pays the Refund Amount to Buyer, (1) Buyer shall handle such refund proceeds as custodian for the benefit
of Seller, (2) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when Buyer receives any such refund proceeds, and (3) Buyer will promptly pay the full amount of such refund proceeds to Seller in the manner reasonably designated by Seller. 
  
 2. Section 7.7 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as
follows: 
  
 7.7 Assignment.
Neither Party may assign, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party at any time; provided, however, that an “assignment” or “transfer” of this Agreement or a
Party’s rights or obligations hereunder by operation of law (for example, by way of merger, consolidation or corporate split) shall not constitute a violation of this Section’s prohibition; and provided, further, however, that Buyer may
assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Buyer provided that (i) Buyer shall give Seller prior written notice of such assignment; (ii) such Affiliate shall be bound by the rights and obligations under this
Agreement after such an assignment, and (iii) such Affiliate shall have a tangible net worth equal to or greater than Buyer; provided that subsection (iii) shall not apply after the Refund Amount or Remitted Amount, subject to the Offset Amount, has
been paid, if applicable, or shall otherwise not apply.

 3. Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment, the remaining terms and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. 
  
 4. The capitalized terms used in the Amendment, unless specifically defined
otherwise herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. 
  
 5. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this
Amendment as of the Effective Date.

	59.	At such time as the Client Liability and all other obligations and liabilities of CLIENT to NFS/BANK under this Agreement (other than contingent expense reimbursement

unsatisfied at such time. 

  

	60.	If during the term hereof CLIENT fails to make any payment required, NFS/BANK may at its discretion pay the same and charge CLIENT therefore with interest
thereon at the interest rate specified in Section 22 above. 

  

	61.	CLIENT will not, under any circumstances, or in any manner whatsoever, interfere with any of NFS/BANK’S rights under this Agreement. Specifically, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, CLIENT shall not interfere with any collection efforts undertaken by NFS/BANK by communicating with Customer/Debtors or otherwise interfering with NFS/BANK’S collection of the Accounts
Receivable. 

  

	62.	CLIENT will furnish NFS/BANK upon request satisfactory proof of payment and/or compliance with all Federal, State and/or Local tax requirements.

  

	63.	In the event that legal action, including arbitration, is taken by CLIENT or NFS/BANK to enforce this Agreement, the losing party will pay any and all legal expenses
and reasonable attorney’s fees, paralegal fees, staff overtime expense, travel costs, costs on appeal, or other reasonable collection costs, that the prevailing party may incur as a result of such legal action. 

  

	64.	CLIENT shall hold NFS/BANK harmless against any liability, damages, loss, attorneys’ fees and costs of any type due to any action by a Customer/Debtor arising
from NFS/BANK’S collecting or attempting to collect any Accounts Receivable so long as these collections are performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. This indemnity
shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

  

	65.	This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties thereto. 

  

	66.	All rights, remedies and powers granted to NFS/BANK in this Agreement, or in any note, or other agreement made by CLIENT in connection with this Agreement are
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently with such other rights as NFS/BANK may have. These rights may be exercised from time to time as to all or any part of the Accounts Receivable and/or the Collateral as NFS/BANK
in its discretion may determine. 

  

	67.	This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written agreement of the parties thereto. NFS/BANK may not waive its rights and remedies unless the waiver is in writing and
signed by NFS/BANK. A waiver by NFS/BANK of a right, or remedy under this Agreement on one occasion is not a waiver of the right, or remedy on any subsequent occasion.

though such provision had not been incorporated herein.
