the Company, all on the terms and conditions set forth below.

      As consideration for the promises and the mutual covenants contained in
this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged, Usarzewicz and the Company agree as
follows:

      1. RESIGNATION. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, Usarzewicz has delivered a resignation to the Board of Directors of
the Company, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. Effective
March 10, 2006, Usarzewicz's employment with the Company is terminated and all
benefits cease on that date unless provided otherwise in this Agreement or by
law.

continue health insurance benefits at his own expense to the extent provided by
federal COBRA laws. Usarzewicz acknowledges that he will be provided with a

this appointment, on the terms and conditions set forth below, to perform such
services as are required hereunder from time to time during the period
commencing on March 10, 2006 and ending on June 10, 2006 (the "Consulting
Period"). In exchange for such services, the Company agrees to pay Usarzewicz
$15,000.00 for each month of service during the Consulting Period, with payments
to be made on April 1, May 1 and June 1, 2006, respectively.

10, 2006. Subject to prior approval by the Company, the Company will reimburse
Usarzewicz for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred while
performing the services. All necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred while
performing these services shall be submitted for payment no later than Friday,
June 16, 2006.

      (c) Usarzewicz will be an independent contractor of the Company. Nothing
in this Agreement will be construed to give Usarzewicz any rights as an
employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of the Company or to entitle
Usarzewicz to control in any manner the business of the Company or to incur any
debt, liability or obligation on behalf of the Company. Usarzewicz agrees that
he will be responsible for the payment of all taxes and withholding on any
amounts paid to Usarzewicz under this Agreement.

Company to Usarzewicz and in consideration of the mutual promises and
obligations herein.

      5. RETURN OF PROPERTY. Usarzewicz represents and warrants to the Company

later than June 10, 2006.

other person to so disparage, defame or denigrate the reputation of, the

who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Confidential
Information includes without limitation any such information relating to the
financial condition, results of operations, business, customers, properties,
assets, liabilities or future prospects of the Company.

      (b) Usarzewicz acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information
is the sole property of the Company. Usarzewicz agrees that he will keep
confidential and will not directly or indirectly divulge to anyone or use or
otherwise appropriate for his own benefit, or for the benefit of any other
person or entity, any Confidential Information.

      10. INVENTIONS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

      (a) As used in this Section, the term "Inventions" means any and all
ideas, inventions, techniques, modifications, processes, or improvements
(whether patentable or not), any trademarks, trade names or industrial designs
(whether registerable or not), and any works of authorship (whether or not
copyright protection may be obtained for them) created, conceived, or developed
by Usarzewicz to date, either solely or in conjunction with others, that relate
in any way to, or are useful in any manner in connection with, the Company's
business as it was conducted on or prior to the date of this Agreement. As used
in this Section, the terms "Intellectual Property Right" and "Intellectual
Property Rights" mean (i) all rights under all copyright laws of the United
States and all other countries for the full terms thereof (and all rights

<PAGE>

all renewals, extensions, reversions or restorations of copyrights now or
hereafter provided by law and all rights to make applications for and obtain
copyright registrations therefore and recordations thereof; (ii) all rights to
and under new and useful inventions, discoveries, designs, technology and art
and all other patentable subject matter, including, but not limited to, all

applications) thereof, for the full term thereof; (iii) all trade secrets; (iv)
all trademarks, service marks and Internet domain names and the like throughout
the world; and (v) all other intellectual and industrial property and
proprietary rights throughout the world not otherwise included in the foregoing,
including, without limitation, all techniques, methodologies and concepts and
trade dress.

      NOTICE REQUIRED BY REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON 49.44.140:

      b) Any assignment of Inventions required by this Agreement does not apply
to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret
information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the
employee's own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the
business of the Company or (ii) to the Company's actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development or (b) the Invention results from any work
performed by the employee for the Company.

      c) Usarzewicz acknowledges and agrees that all of the Inventions are works
made for hire and are the property of the Company, including any copyrights,
patents, or other Intellectual Property Rights pertaining thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Usarzewicz agrees to assign and does hereby
assign to the Company all of Usarzewicz's right, title and interest, including
all rights of copyright, patent and other Intellectual Property Rights, to or in
such Inventions. Usarzewicz covenants that he will promptly: (i) disclose to the
Company in writing any Invention; (ii) take all actions that the Company may
request from time to time to assign to the Company (or to a party designated by
the Company), without additional compensation, all of Usarzewicz's rights in and
to any Invention for the United States and all foreign jurisdictions; (iii)
execute and deliver to the Company such applications, assignments and other
documents as the Company may request in order to apply for and obtain patent or
other registrations with respect to any Invention in the United States and all
foreign jurisdictions; (iv) sign all other papers necessary to carry out the
foregoing; and (v) give testimony and render any other reasonable assistance in
support of the Company's rights to any Invention.

      d) To the extent allowed by law, the foregoing agreement to assign and the
assignment of Inventions include all rights known as or referred to as "moral
rights," "artist's rights," "droit moral," or the like (collectively "Moral
Rights"). To the extent Usarzewicz retains any such Moral Rights under
applicable law, Usarzewicz ratifies
<PAGE>

and consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights
by, or authorized by, the Company, and agrees not to assert any Moral Rights
with respect thereto.

      e) Usarzewicz irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its
agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Usarzewicz's behalf to execute and
file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
purposes of this Section 8 with the same legal force and effect as if executed
by Usarzewicz.

      11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The parties acknowledge that Usarzewicz's services
were of a special and unique character and nature and that a breach of Sections
7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement by Usarzewicz will cause irreparable injury and
damage to the Company. In the event of such a breach, the Company shall be
entitled to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief, without the
necessity of posting a bond, in addition to all other rights and remedies the
Company may have at law or in equity.

      12. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Because the harm caused to the Company by a breach
of Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10 is difficult to enumerate, Usarzewicz further agrees
that if he violates any of these Sections, then he shall pay the Company
$5,000.00 in liquidated damages, per violation. This in no way shall limit the
amount of damages the Company can recover in the event of a breach.

      13. CESSATION OF SEVERANCE. Usarzewicz also acknowledges and agrees that
if he breaches Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10, the Company may immediately cease payment
of all severance and/or benefits described in this Agreement. This cessation of
severance and/or benefits shall be in addition to, and not as an alternative to,
any other remedies in law or equity.

      14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of,
and will be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties to this
Agreement.

      15. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement should
be held to be void, voidable or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, and any
partially unenforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, will remain in
full force and effect.

      16. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with,
and be governed by, the laws of the State of Washington applicable to contracts
made and to be performed wholly within that State.

      17. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event any party takes legal action to enforce
any of the terms of this Agreement, the unsuccessful party to such action will
pay the successful party's expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, incurred in such action.
<PAGE>

      18. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or
more counterparts, each one of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which will constitute one and the same instrument.

      19. SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties and agreements made by the
parties hereto in this Agreement will survive the date hereof and any
investigations, inspections, examinations or audits made by or on behalf of any
party.

      20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and
discussions, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. No supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement
will be valid unless executed by the party to be bound. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any
other provisions (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the provisions of that certain Proprietary Information Agreement
between Usarzewicz and the Company, which will remain in full force and effect.

      21. NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or permitted in
this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and
