     8. Article 1, Section J. of the Lease is amended to read as follows:
     
     “J. Security Deposit:
  $59,000.00, provided, however, that if, as of September 1, 2007, Tenant has not been, and is not then, in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $27,950.00, and the difference of $31,050.00 shall be credited against Base Rent, or, at Landlord’s option and in lieu of such credit, refunded directly to Tenant.

     9. Termination Payment. The Lease, without giving effect to this Amendment, provides for Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges during the period from August 15, 2005 to September 30, 2006, of approximately $750,000. In consideration of the termination of the original terms of the Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord a termination payment equal to the sum of Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000), without interest (the “Termination Payment”), payable in seventy-three (73) equal monthly installments of Five Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-nine and 45/100 Dollars ($5,479.45) on the first day of each month commencing on September 1, 2005, and ending on September 1, 2011 (the “Amortization Rent”). If the Lease is terminated due to destruction of the Building and/or the Premises or a taking of the Building and/or the Premises by condemnation during the period from September 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006, then the Termination Payment shall be reduced by an amount that is in the same ratio to the Termination Payment as the number of days from the date of such destruction or taking to September 30, 2006 bears to the total number of days from September 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. If the Lease is terminated for any reason, including the destruction of the Building and/or the Premises or a taking of the Building and/or the Premises by condemnation, Tenant’s obligation to pay the Termination Payment (as the Termination Payment may be reduced pursuant to this Section) to Landlord shall survive the termination of the Lease. If the Termination Payment is reduced pursuant to this Section, then the Amortization Rent shall be proportionately reduced.
     10. Condition of Premises; Landlord’s Contribution; Tenant Improvements. Tenant accepts Suite 1375 in its “AS IS” condition. Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance for permanent improvements to the Premises, including telephone cabling, data cabling, and other low voltage cabling, of Twelve and 50/100 Dollars ($12.50) times the number of rentable square feet of space in the Premises, for a total tenant improvement allowance of Ninety-four Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-two and 50/100 Dollars ($94,862.50) (“Landlord’s Contribution”). If the cost of the tenant improvements is more than Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall pay such excess cost. If the cost of the tenant improvements is less than Landlord’s Contribution, then Tenant may apply the unused portion of Landlord’s Contribution to pay for permanent improvements to the Must Take Expansion Space, including telephone cabling, data cabling, and other low voltage cabling. Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Workletter attached to this Amendment as Exhibit B (the “Workletter”), which shall govern construction of the tenant improvements.

     11. Landlord’s Additional Contribution. Landlord shall provide an allowance of One Hundred Fifty-nine Thousand Five Hundred Fourteen and No/100 Dollars ($159,514.00) (“Landlord’s Additional Contribution”) to Tenant for Tenant’s relocation costs, moving costs, tenant improvement costs and other related costs. The Landlord’s Additional Contribution shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant vacates Suite 900.
     12. Must Take Expansion Space. Landlord shall deliver vacant possession of Suite 1340, consisting of 2,249 rentable square feet of space (the “Must Take Expansion Space”), to Tenant promptly after the existing lease covering the Must Take Expansion Space expires or after Landlord relocates the existing tenant of the Must Take Expansion Space, and the Premises shall be expanded to include the Must Take Expansion Space upon such delivery of possession. The existing lease covering the Must Take Expansion Space expires on September 30, 2006. Base Rent shall commence sixty (60) days after delivery of possession of the Must Take Expansion Space to Tenant (the “Must Take Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date”). Base Rent per month for the Must Take Expansion Space shall be equal to 2,249, times the applicable rate per square foot per year set forth in the below Rent Schedule, divided by twelve (12). Tenant will accept the Must Take Expansion Space in its then “AS IS” condition. Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance for permanent tenant improvements to the Must Take Expansion Space, including telephone cabling: data cabling, and other low voltage cabling, of Twelve and 50/100 Dollars ($12.50) times the number of rentable square feet of space in the Must Take Expansion Space (the “Must Take Expansion Space Landlord Contribution”). If the cost of the tenant improvements to the Must Take Expansion Space is less than the portion of Landlord’s Contribution, if any, applied to pay for tenant improvements to the Must Take Expansion Space and the Must Take Expansion Space Landlord Contribution, then Landlord and Tenant shall split the savings equally

Tenant’s Temporary Space Share is 64/100ths percent (.64%). Landlord estimates that Taxes and Expenses will be Ten and 28/100 Dollars ($10.28) per square foot during calendar year 2005. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s Temporary Space Share shall apply to the total amount of Taxes and Expenses, rather than to increases in Taxes and Expenses over the Base Tax Year and the Base Expense Year, respectively. Tenant shall vacate the Temporary Space within ten (10) days after the Must Take Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, in accordance with Article 23 of the Lease and all other applicable provisions of the Lease.

Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to expand the Premises to include any or all of the spaces described below (each, an “Expansion Space”) as of the dates set forth below (each, an “Availability Date”), by giving Landlord notice to such effect (the “Expansion Notice”) not less than three (3) months before the relevant Availability Date, or, if the relevant Expansion Space remains or becomes vacant and legally available for lease after the Availability Date, by giving Landlord notice to such effect (the “Expansion Notice”) not less than three (3) months before the anticipated commencement date as to the relevant Expansion Space set forth in the Expansion Notice (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”). Landlord, at its option, may waive the requirement for three (3) months prior notice by giving notice to such effect to Tenant, and, if Landlord does so, then the Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Notice. Landlord shall deliver possession of each Expansion Space to Tenant in its “AS IS” condition on the Availability Date, the Expansion Space Commencement Date, or the date ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Notice, as applicable. As of the Availability Date, the Expansion Space Commencement Date, or the date ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Notice, as applicable, the Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises, and as of the date sixty (60) days after the Availability Date, the Expansion Space Commencement Date, or the date ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Notice, as applicable, the Base Rent shall be increased by the then current Fair Market Value of the relevant Expansion Space, and Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately adjusted. The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean the then prevailing market rate per square foot for full service base rent for tenants of comparable quality for leases in comparable Class A office buildings of comparable age, use, location and quality in the Central Business District of Seattle, Washington taking into consideration the extent of the availability of space as large as the Premises in the marketplace and all other economic terms then customarily prevailing in the marketplace, all as
