6.3.1 Unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date; and

6.3.2 Continuation of payments of base salary through the end of the Employment Term or six months, which ever is less, based on the rate of salary payable to Executive on the termination date.

The preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit Employer from any other relief or damages to which it may be entitled as a result of Executive’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, including Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10.

12. Arbitration. Except for the right of either party to commence a judicial action to obtain injunctive relief (but not damages) to avoid irreparable injury, the parties agree that any and all controversies, claims, and/or disputes (collectively referred to as “Disputes”) of whatever nature arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment or this Agreement or their termination shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this arbitration provision. For purposes of this provision, Disputes shall include, but not be limited to, any and all controversies, claims, and disputes based on statutes, contracts, torts, the common law, or

- 11 -

otherwise, regardless of when the Disputes were discovered or whether the Disputes existed prior to or arose after the date of this Agreement. With the sole exception for injunctive relief previously noted in this paragraph, the arbitration procedure set forth in this provision shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving Disputes between Employer and Executive. The parties waive and release any rights they have to litigate these Disputes in court before a jury, including Disputes pertaining to wages, compensation, discrimination, and termination arising under statutes such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Washington Law Against Discrimination, and the Washington Minimum Wage Act.

After a Demand is made, the parties shall confer and attempt to agree upon a sole neutral arbitrator had both training and experience as an arbitrator of employment matters. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall take place in Seattle, Washington, and shall follow the AAA rules and regulations then in effect for resolution of employment disputes so long as those rules and procedures are consistent with this provision. Reasonable discovery shall be permitted and the arbitrator may decide any to discovery. The arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether, or as to the extent to which, any Disputes are subject to the arbitration provisions in this Agreement. The arbitrator may award any relief available at law or in equity, but may not award relief beyond that allowed by law. The arbitrator must base his or her award on the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law, and must render his or her award in a writing that must include an explanation of the reasons for such award. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. The parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, and agree that judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered by that court or any other court having jurisdiction thereof.

The parties warrant that they are voluntarily and mutually agreeing to this arbitration provision. This provision shall be interpreted in a way to be consistent with law. If any part of this provision is deemed inconsistent with law, the provision shall be reformed to the extent required to render it enforceable, and the parties agree the reformed provision shall be enforced.

13. Fees. The prevailing party will be entitled to its costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in any litigation relating to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.

14. Indemnification. Employer agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer or employee of Employer of the Company or any Affiliate or is or was serving at the request of Employer as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by Employer to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by Employer’s LLC Agreement against all cost, expense, damage, claim, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or other liabilities or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith,

- 12 -

and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of Employer and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. To the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by Employer’s limited liability agreement, Employer shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with a Proceeding after receipt by Employer of a written request, together with reasonable documentation supporting such request and an undertaking by Executive in a form reasonably acceptable to Employer to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification shall not be provided to Executive hereunder with respect to any action or omission of Executive that was (i) not suffered or taken in good faith and in a manner Executive reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Employer, (ii) in material breach of this Agreement or the LLC Agreement, (iii) determined in a final decision (after all appeals and the expiration of time to appeal) of a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful violation of law, or (iv) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable cause by Executive to believe that its or his conduct was unlawful.

15. Disclosure. Executive agrees fully and completely to reveal the terms of the terms of Sections 7, 8. 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer, business contacts or associates of Executive and authorizes Employer, at its election, to make such disclosure.

16. Representation of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to Employer that Executive is free to enter into this Agreement and has no commitment, arrangement or understanding to or with any party that restrains or is in conflict with Executive’s performance of the covenants, services and duties provided for in this Agreement. Executive agrees to indemnify Employer and to hold it harmless against any and all liabilities or claims arising out of any unauthorized act or acts by Executive that, the foregoing representation and warranty to the contrary notwithstanding, are in violation, or constitute a breach, of any such commitment, arrangement or understanding.

17. Assignability.
