LASALLE NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

    THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Lease") is made as of the 24th day of March, 2000, by and between LASALLE NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION, its successors and assigns ("Lessor"), and LABOR READY PROPERTIES, INC., its successors and permitted assigns ("Lessee").

    The parties agree that Lessee shall lease from Lessor the property (the "Equipment") described in the Equipment Schedule(s) to be executed pursuant hereto (collectively, the "Equipment Schedule"), subject to the terms set forth herein, in the Riders annexed hereto and in the Equipment Schedule. Certain definitions and construction of certain of the terms used herein are provided in Section 19 hereof. Each Equipment Schedule shall incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this Lease. Each Equipment Schedule, incorporating by reference the terms and conditions of this Lease, shall constitute a separate instrument of lease.

    1.  TERM.  The term of lease with respect to any item of the Equipment shall consist of the term set forth in the Equipment Schedule relating thereto; provided, however, that this Lease shall be effective from and after the date of execution hereof.

    2.  RENT.  Lessee shall pay Lessor the rental installments in the aggregate amounts specified in the Equipment Schedule, without prior notice or demand, and all other amounts payable pursuant to this Lease (such installments and other amounts, the "rent"). Each Equipment Schedule constitutes a non-cancelable net lease, and Lessee's obligation to pay rent, and to otherwise perform its obligations under this Lease, each such Equipment Schedule and all of the other documents and agreements entered in connection herewith (collectively, the "Lease Documents"), are and shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, defense or other right which Lessee may have against Lessor, the manufacturer or vendor of the Equipment (the "Suppliers"), or anyone else, for any reason whatsoever. Rental installments are payable as and when specified in the Equipment Schedule by mailing the same to Lessor at its address specified pursuant to this Lease; and payments of rent shall be effective upon receipt. Timeliness of Lessee's payment and its other performance under the Lease Documents is of the essence. If any rent is not paid within five (5) days of the due date, Lessor may collect, and Lessee agrees to pay, a charge (the "Late Charge") calculated as the product of the late charge rate specified in the Equipment Schedule (the "Late Charge Rate") and the amount in arrears for the period such amount remains unpaid after the original due date.

    3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE.  Lessee represents and warrants that: (a) Lessee is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction specified below the signature of Lessee. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Lease Documents: (1) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Lessee; (2) do not require the approval of any stockholder, trustee or holder of any obligations of Lessee except such as have been duly obtained; and (3) do not and will not contravene any law, governmental rule, regulation or order now binding on Lessee, or the charter or by-laws of Lessee, or contravene the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon the property of Lessee under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement to which Lessee is a party or by which it or its property is bound. (c) Each of the Lease Documents, when entered into, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Lessee enforceable against Lessee, in accordance with the terms thereof. (d) There are no pending actions or proceedings to which Lessee is a party, and there are no other pending or threatened actions or proceedings of which Lessee has knowledge, before any court, arbitrator or administrative agency, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean (1) a materially adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance or properties of Lessee, or (2) a material impairment of the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under or to remain in compliance with the Lease Documents. Further, Lessee is not in default under any obligation for borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or any


lease agreement which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have the same such effect. (e) Under the laws of the state(s) in which the Equipment is to be located, the Equipment consists solely of personal property and not fixtures. (f) The financial statements of Lessee (copies of which have been furnished to Lessor) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP"), and fairly present Lessee's financial condition and the results of its operations as of the date of and for the period covered by such statements, and since the date of such statements there has been no material adverse change in such conditions or operations. (g) The address stated below the signature of Lessee is the chief place of business and chief executive office of Lessee.

    4.  FINANCIALS FURTHER ASSURANCES AND NOTICES.  Lessee covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Lessee will furnish upon request by Lessor (1) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Lessee, a balance sheet of Lessee as at the end of such year, and the related statement of income and statement of cash flows of Lessee for such fiscal year, prepared in accordance with GAAP, all in reasonable detail and certified by independent certified public accounts of recognized standing selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (2) within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarter, a balance sheet of Lessee as at the end of such quarter, and the related statement of income and statement of cash flows of Lessee for such quarter, prepared in accordance with GAAP; and (3) within thirty (30) days after the date on which they are filed, all regular periodic reports, forms and other filings required to be made by Lessee to the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any. (b) Lessee will promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents, instruments and assurances and take such further action as Lessor from time to time may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease and to establish and protect the right and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor under the Lease Documents. (c) Lessee shall provide written notice to Lessor: (1) thirty (30) days prior to any contemplated change in the name or address of the chief executive office of the Lessee; (2) promptly upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) or event which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default (a "Default"); and (3) promptly upon Lessee becoming aware of any alleged violation of applicable law relating to the Equipment or this Lease.

    5.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  Lessor's obligations under each Equipment Schedule, including its obligation to purchase and lease any Equipment to be leased thereunder, are conditioned upon Lessors determination that all of the following have been satisfied: (a) Lessor having received the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (1) evidence as to due compliance with the insurance provisions hereof; (2) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and all other filings and recordings as required by Lessor, (3) certificate of Lessee's Secretary certifying: (i) resolutions of Lessee's Board of Directors duly authorizing the leasing of the Equipment hereunder and the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and the Equipment Schedule and all related instruments and documents, and (ii) the incumbency and signature of the officers of Lessee authorized to execute such documents; (4) the only manually executed original of the Equipment Schedule and all other Lease Documents; (5) all purchase documents pertaining to the Equipment (collectively, the "Supply Contract"); and (6) such other documents, agreements, instruments, certificates, opinions, assurances, as Lessor reasonably may require. (b) All representations and warranties provided in favor of Lessor in any of the Lease Documents shall be true and correct on the effective date of such Equipment Schedule with the same effect as though made as of such date (Lessee's execution and delivery of the Equipment Schedule shall constitute an acknowledgment of the same). (c) There shall be no Default or Event of Default under the Equipment Schedule or any other Lease Documents. The Equipment shall have been delivered to and accepted by Lessee, and shall be in the condition and repair required hereby; and on the effective date of the Equipment Schedule, Lessor shall have received good title to the Equipment to be leased thereunder, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind.

    6.  DELIVERY; INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE BY LESSEE.  Upon delivery, Lessee shall inspect and, to the extent the Equipment conforms to the condition required by the applicable Supply

All expenses incurred in connection with Lessors purchase of the Equipment (including shipment, delivery and installation) shall be the responsibility of Lessee and shall be paid upon demand. If Lessee shall, for reasonable cause, refuse to accept delivery of any item of the Equipment, Lessee will be assigned all rights and shall assume all obligations as purchaser of such items of Equipment which it does not accept.

    7.  USE AND MAINTENANCE.   (a) Lessee shall: (1) use the Equipment solely in the Continental United States and in the conduct of its business, for the purpose for which the Equipment was designed, in a careful and proper manner, and shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment; (2) operate, maintain, service and repair the Equipment, and maintain all records and other materials relating thereto, (i) in accordance and consistent with (A) the Supplier's recommendations and all maintenance and operating manuals or service agreements, whenever furnished or entered into, including any subsequent amendments or replacements thereof, issued by the Supplier or service provider, (B) the requirements of all applicable insurance policies, (C) the Supply Contract, so as to preserve all of Lessee's and Lessor's rights thereunder, including all rights to any warranties, indemnities or other rights or remedies, (D) all applicable laws, and (E) the prudent practice of other similar companies in the same business as Lessee, but in any event, to no lesser standard than that employed by Lessee for comparable equipment owned or leased by it; (ii) without limiting the foregoing, so as to cause the Equipment to be in good repair and operating condition and in at least the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, except for ordinary wear and tear resulting despite Lessee's full compliance with the terms hereof; and (iii) shall not discriminate against the Equipment with respect to scheduling of maintenance, parts or service; (3) provide written notice to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days after any change of the location of any Equipment (or the location of the principal garage of any Equipment to the extent that such Equipment is mobile equipment) as specified in the Equipment Schedule; and (4) not attach or incorporate the Equipment to or in any other item of equipment in such a manner that the Equipment may be deemed to have become an accession to or a part of such other item of equipment. (b) Within a reasonable time, Lessee will replace any parts of the Equipment which become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for use, by new or reconditioned replacement parts which are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or rights of others and have a value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the parts replaced. Any modification or addition to the Equipment which is required by law shall be made by Lessee, at its expense. Title to all parts, improvements and additions to the Equipment immediately shall vest in Lessor, without cost or expense to Lessor or any further action by any other person, and such parts, improvements and additions shall be deemed incorporated in the Equipment and subject to the terms of this Lease as if originally leased hereunder, if such parts are required by law or are otherwise essential to the operation of the Equipment or cannot be detached from the Equipment without materially interfering with the operation of the Equipment or adversely affecting the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof. Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment without the prior written consent of Lessor. (c) Upon forty-eight (48) hours' notice, Lessee shall afford Lessor access to the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment and all applicable maintenance or other records at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required. If any discrepancies are found as they pertain to the general condition of the Equipment, Lessor will communicate these discrepancies to Lessee in writing. Lessee shall then have thirty (30) days to rectify these discrepancies at its sole expense. Lessee shall pay all expenses of a re-inspection by Lessor's appointed representative, if corrective measures were required.

    8.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.  LESSOR IS NOT A SELLER, SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED OR USED, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE), OR DEALER, NOR A SELLER'S OR A DEALER'S


AGENT. THE EQUIPMENT IS LEASED HEREUNDER "AS IS", AND LESSOR HAS NOT MADE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR, AND LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AGAINST LESSOR RELATING TO, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR OBLIGATIONS OFANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY APPLICABLE LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY OF THE SAME RELATING TO OR ARISING IN OR UNDER (a) MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PAR77CULAR USE OR PURPOSE, (b) COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OR TRADE, OR (c) TORT (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE ACTUAL, IMPLIED OR IMPUTED NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (INCLUDING ARTICLE 2A, AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWWITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING ITS TITLE OR FREEDOM FROM LIENS, FREEDOM FROM TRADEMARK, PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, FREEDOM FROM LATENT DEFECTS (WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE), CONDITION, MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, SERVICING OR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW; it being agreed that all such risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee; and Lessor's agreement to enter into this Lease and any Equipment Schedule is in reliance upon the freedom from and complete negation of liability or responsibility for the matters waived and disclaimed herein. Lessor is not responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damage to or losses resulting from the installation, operation or use of the Equipment or any products manufactured thereby. All assignable warranties made by the Supplier to Lessor are hereby assigned to Lessee for and during the term of this Lease and Lessee agrees to resolve all such claims directly with the Supplier. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lessor fully shall cooperate with Lessee with respect to the resolution of such claims, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings at Lessee's expense. Any such claim shall not affect in any manner the unconditional obligation of Lessee to make rent payments hereunder.

    9.  FEES AND TAXES.  (a) To the extent permitted by law, Lessee shall file any necessary report and return for, shall pay promptly when due, shall otherwise be liable to reimburse Lessor (on an after-tax basis) for, and agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from: (i) all titling, recordation, documentary stamp and other fees; and (ii) taxes (other than taxes calculated solely on the basis of net income), assessments and all other charges or withholdings of any nature (together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon); arising at any time upon or relating to the Equipment or this Lease or the delivery, acquisition, ownership, use, operation or leasing or sale of the Equipment, or upon the rent, whether the same be assessed to Lessor or Lessee (any of the foregoing, an "Imposition"). (b) If any report, return or property listing, or any Imposition is, by law, required to be filed by, assessed or billed to, or paid by, Lessor, Lessee at its own expense will do all things required to be done by Lessor (to the extent permitted by law) in connection therewith and is hereby authorized by Lessor to act on behalf of Lessor in all respects, including the contest or protest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, of the validity of any Imposition, or the amount thereof. Lessor agrees fully to cooperate with Lessee in any such contest, and Lessee agrees promptly to indemnify Lessor for all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in the course of such cooperation. An Imposition or Claim (as hereinafter defined) therefor shall be paid, subject to refund proceedings, if failure to pay would adversely affect the title or rights of Lessor. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Lessor obtains a refund of any Imposition which has been paid (by Lessee, or by Lessor and for which Lessor has been reimbursed by Lessee), Lessor shall promptly pay to Lessee the amount of such refund to the extent actually received. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Lessor obtains a refund of any Imposition which has been paid (by Lessee, or by Lessor and for which Lessor has been reimbursed by Lessee), Lessor shall promptly apply the net amount of such refund to Lessee's obligations under this Lease and, to the extent of any excess, will promptly pay to Lessee the amount of any excess in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease and, specifically, Section 16 hereof. Lessee will cause all billings of such charges to Lessor to be made to Lessor in care of Lessee and will, in preparing any report or return required by law, show the ownership of the Equipment in Lessor, and shall send a copy of any such report or return to Lessor. If


Lessee fails to pay any such charges when due, except any Imposition being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings as above provided for a reasonable period of time, Lessor at its option may do so, in which event the amount so paid (including any penalty or interest incurred as a result of Lessee's failure), plus interest thereon at the Late Charge Rate, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor with the next periodic payment of rent.

    10.  INTENT, TITLE AND LIENS.  (a) The parties intend and agree that the Equipment shall remain personal property, and that Lessor's title thereto not be impaired, notwithstanding the manner in which it may be affixed to any real property. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall obtain and deliver to Lessor, from any person having an interest in the property where the Equipment is to be located, waivers of any lien, encumbrance or interest which such person might have or hereafter obtain or claim with respect to the Equipment. (b) It is the express intention of the parties hereto that (1) each Equipment Schedule, incorporating by reference the terms of this Lease, constitutes a true "lease" and a "finance lease" as such terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code Article 2A—Leases ("Article 2A") (whether or not Article 2A is then in effect in the State) and not a sale or retention of a security interest; and (2) title to the Equipment shall at all times remain in Lessor, and Lessee shall acquire no ownership, property, rights, equity, or interest other than a leasehold interest, solely as Lessee subject to the terms and conditions hereof. If, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Equipment Schedule is not a true lease, but is rather a sale and extension of credit, a lease intended for security, a loan secured by the Equipment specified in such Equipment Schedule, or other similar arrangement, the parties agree that in such event: (i) (A) in order to secure the prompt payment and performance as and when due of all of Lessee's obligations (both now existing and hereafter arising) hereunder and under e ach such Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall be deemed to have granted, and it hereby grants, to Lessor a first priority security interest in the following (whether now existing or hereafter created): the Equipment leased pursuant to such Equipment Schedule and all replacements, substitutions, accessions, and proceeds (cash and non-cash; but without power of sale), including the proceeds of all insurance policies, thereof, and (B) Lessee agrees that with respect to the Equipment, in addition to all of the other lights and remedies available to Lessor hereunder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have all of the rights and remedies of a first priority secured party under the UCC; and (ii) (A) the principal amount of any such obligation shall be an amount equal to the aggregate Total Invoice Cost of all Equipment, (B) the term of any such obligation shall be the same as the term specified for such Equipment in the related Equipment Schedule, (C) the payments under any such obligation shall be the regular installments of rent specified in the Equipment Schedule for such Equipment, and (D) any such obligation shall be at an interest rate that is equal to the lesser of the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law or the effective interest rate calculated on the basis of the foregoing principal amount, term and payments as if the principal amount were fully amortized over the term of the obligation. For purposes of this sub-part (b), this Lease, the Equipment Schedule, or a photocopy of either thereof may be filed as a financing statement under the UCC. (c) Lessee may not dispose of any of the Equipment except to the extent expressly provided herein, notwithstanding the fact that proceeds constitute a part of the Equipment. (d) Lessee further agrees to maintain the Equipment free from all claims, liens, attachments, rights of others and legal processes ("Liens") of creditors of Lessee or any other persons, other than Liens for fees, taxes, levies, duties or other governmental charges of any kind, Liens of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, employees or suppliers and similar Liens arising by operation of law incurred by Lessee in the ordinary course of business for sums that are not yet delinquent or are being contested in good faith by negotiations or by appropriate proceedings which suspend the collection thereof (provided, however, that such proceedings do not involve any substantial danger (as determined in Lessor's sole reasonable discretion) of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Equipment or any interest therein). Lessee will defend, at its own expense, Lessor's title to the Equipment from such claims, Liens or legal processes. Lessee shall also notify Lessor promptly upon receipt of notice of any Lien affecting the Equipment in whole or in part.

    11.  INSURANCE.  Lessee shall obtain and maintain all-risk insurance coverage with respect to the Equipment insuring against, among other things: casualty coverage, including loss or damage due to fire and the risks normally included in extended coverage, malicious mischief and vandalism, for not


less than the full replacement value; "and general liability coverage, including both bodily injury and property damage with a combined single limit per occurrence of not less than the amount specified in the Equipment Schedule, having a deductible reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. All said insurance shall be in form (including all endorsements required by Lessor) and amount and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. All insurance for loss or damage shall provide that losses, if any, shall be payable to Lessor as loss payee and Lessee shall utilize its best efforts to have all checks relating to any such losses delivered promptly to Lessor. Lessor shall be named as an additional insured with respect to all such liability insurance. Lessee shall pay the premiums therefor and deliver to Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such insurance coverage. Lessee shall cause to be provided to Lessor, prior to the scheduled expiration or lapse of such insurance coverage, evidence satisfactory to Lessor of renewal or replacement coverage. Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that (a) it will give Lessor thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the effective date of any material alteration or cancellation of such policy; and (b) insurance as to the interest of any named additional insured or loss payee other than Lessee shall not be invalidated by any actions, inactions, breach of warranty or conditions or negligence of Lessee or any person other than Lessor with respect to such policy or policies. The proceeds of such insurance payable as a result of loss of or damage to the Equipment shall be applied as required by the provisions of Section 12 hereof.

    12.  LOSS AND DAMAGE.  Lessee assumes the risk of direct and consequential loss and damage to the Equipment. Except as provided in this Section for discharge upon payment of Stipulated Loss Value, no loss or damage to the Equipment or any part thereof shall release or impair any obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not incur any liability to Lessee for any loss of business, loss of profits, expenses, or any other Claims resulting to Lessee by reason of any failure of or delay in delivery or any delay caused by any non-performance, defective performance, or breakdown of the Equipment, nor shall Lessor at any time be responsible for personal injury or the loss or destruction of any other property resulting from the Equipment. In the event of loss or damage to any item of Equipment which does not constitute a Total Loss (as hereinafter defined), Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly repair and restore such item of the Equipment to the condition required by this Lease. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of completion of such repairs, Lessor will apply any insurance proceeds received by Lessor on account of such loss to the cost of repairs. Upon the occurrence of the actual or constructive total loss of any item of the Equipment, or the loss, disappearance, theft or destruction of any item of the Equipment or damage to any item of the Equipment to such extent as shall make repair thereof uneconomical or shall render any item of the Equipment permanently unfit for normal use for any reason whatsoever, or the condemnation, confiscation, requisition, seizure, forfeiture or other taking of title to or taking of use of any item of the Equipment or the imposition of any Lien thereon by any governmental authority (as established to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor, any such occurrence being herein referred to as a "Total Loss"), during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall give prompt notice thereof to Lessor. On the next date for the payment of rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the rent due on that date plus the Stipulated Loss Value of the item or items of the Equipment with respect to which the Total Loss has occurred and any other sums due hereunder with respect to that Equipment (less any insurance proceeds or condemnation award actually paid). Upon making such payment, this Lease and the obligation to make future rental payments shall terminate solely with respect to the Equipment or items thereof so paid for and (to the extent applicable) Lessee shall become entitled thereto AS IS WHERE IS without warranty, express or implied, with respect to any matter whatsoever. Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a bill of sale transferring and assigning to Lessee without recourse or warranty, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such Equipment. Lessor shall not be required to make and may specifically disclaim any representation or warranty as to the condition of the Equipment or any other matters. As used in this Lease, "Stipulated Loss Value" shall mean the product of the Total Invoice Cost (designated on the appropriate Equipment Schedule) of the Equipment and the applicable percentage factor set forth on the Schedule of Stipulated Loss Values attached to the Equipment Schedule. Stipulated Loss Value shall be determined as of the next date on which a payment of rent is or would


be due after a Total Loss or other termination of an Equipment Schedule, after payment of any rent due on such date, and the applicable percentage factor shall be that which is set forth with respect to such rent payment. After payment of the final payment of rent due under the original term of this Lease and during any renewal term thereof, Stipulated Loss Value shall be determined as of the date of termination of such Equipment Schedule (absent any renewal thereof) or, if during a renewal term, on the next date on which a payment of rent is or would be due after a Total Loss or other termination of such renewal term, after payment of any rent due on such date, and the applicable percentage factor shall be the last percentage factor set forth on the Schedule of Stipulated Loss Values attached to such Equipment Schedule.

    13.  REDELIVERY.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of any Equipment Schedule (or of any renewal thereof, if applicable), Lessee shall, at its own expense, return the Equipment to Lessor within ten (10) days (a) in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use thereof excepted, (b) in such operating condition as is capable of performing its originally intended use, (c) having been used, operated, serviced and repaired in accordance with, and otherwise complying with, Section 7 hereof, and (d) free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except Liens resulting from claims against Lessor not relating to the ownership of such Equipment. Lessee shall return the Equipment by delivering it to such place within the Continental United States as Lessor shall specify. In addition to Lessors other rights and remedies hereunder, if the Equipment is not returned in a timely fashion, or if repairs are necessary to place any items of Equipment in the condition required in this Section, Lessee shall continue to pay to Lessor per them rent at the last prevailing lease rate under the applicable Equipment Schedule with respect to such items of Equipment, for the period of delay in redelivery, or for the period of time reasonably necessary to accomplish such repairs together with the cost of such repairs, as applicable. Lessor's acceptance of such rent on account of such delay or repair does not constitute a renewal of the term of the related Equipment Schedule or a waiver of Lessor's right to prompt return of the Equipment in proper condition.

    14.  INDEMNITY.  Lessee assumes and agrees to indemnify, defend and keep harmless Lessor, and any assignee of Lessor's rights, obligations, title or interests under any Equipment Schedule, its agents and employees ("Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Claims (other than such as may directly and proximately result from the negligence or willful misconduct of, such Indemnitees), by paying (on an after-tax basis) or otherwise discharging same, when and as such Claims shall become due. It is the express intention of both Lessor and Lessee, that the indemnity provided for in this Section includes the agreement by Lessee to indemnify the Indemnitees with respect to Claims for which the Indemnitees are strictly liable as a result of such Indemnitees' legal title to the Equipment. Lessor shall give Lessee prompt notice of any Claim hereby indemnified against and Lessee shall be entitled to control the defense thereof, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing; provided, however, that Lessor shall have the right to approve defense counsel selected by Lessee.

(b) The occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any Equipment Schedule shall, at the sole discretion of Lessor, constitute an Event of Default with respect to any or all Equipment Schedules to which it is then a party. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, Lessor may exercise all rights and remedies hereunder independently with respect to each Equipment Schedule.

    16.  REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the provisions of Section 15 hereof, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease and any Equipment Schedule to be in default. At any time after cancellation of an Equipment Schedule or after declaration by Lessor that such Equipment Schedule is in default. Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by applicable law, upon five (5) days' prior notice to Lessee, exercise one or more of the following remedies as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect:



    All amounts to be present valued shall be discounted at the implicit rate of the Equipment Schedule. Unless otherwise provided above, a cancellation of any Equipment Schedule shall occur only upon written notice by Lessor toLessee and only with respect to such items of the Equipment as Lessor specifically elects to cancel in such notice. Except as to such items of the Equipment with respect to which there is a cancellation, this Lease and the Equipment Schedules not so cancelled shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee shall be and remain liable for the full performance of all its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Lessee shall be liable for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred by reason of any Default or Event of Default or the exercise of Lessors rights or remedies, including all expenses incurred in connection with the return of any Equipment in accordance with the terms of Section 13 hereof and this Section or in placing such Equipment in the condition required by said Sections, and all other pre-judgment and post-judgment enforcement related actions taken by Lessor. Lessee shall also be liable for Late Charges which shall accrue and be payable with respect to all amounts becoming due pursuant to this Section from and after the due date therefor until payment of the full amount thereof is made. No right or remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available at law or in equity, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time. The failure of Lessor to exercise the rights granted hereunder upon any Event of Default by Lessee shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or reoccurrence of any


such Event of Default. In no event shall the execution of an Equipment Schedule constitute a waiver by Lessor of any pre-existing Event of Default in the performance of the terms and conditions hereof.

    17.  ASSIGNMENT.  (a) WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR (WHICH SHALL NOT UNREASONABLY BE WITHHELD), LESSEE WILL NOT ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBER ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE, OR ITS LEASEHOLD INTEREST, SUBLET THE EQUIPMENT OR OTHERWISE PERMIT THE EQUIPMENT TO BE OPERATED OR USED BY, OR TO COME INTO OR REMAIN IN THE POSSESSION OF, ANYONE BUT LESSEE. No assignment or sublease, whether authorized in this Section or in violation of the terms hereof, shall relieve Lessee of its obligations, and Lessee shall remain primarily liable, hereunder and under each Equipment Schedule. Any unpermitted assignment, transfer, encumbrance, delegation or sublease by Lessee shall be void ab initio. (b) Lessor may assign any or all of its rights, obligations, title and interest hereunder, or the right to enter into any Equipment Schedule, or may resell (through syndication, assignment, participation or placement) an interest in any or all of the Equipment, this Lease or any Equipment Schedule. Lessee agrees that it will pay all rent and other amounts payable under each Equipment Schedule to the "Lessor" named therein; provided, however, if Lessee receives written notice of an assignment from Lessor, Lessee will pay all rent and other amounts payable under any assigned Equipment Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by Lessor and such assignee. Each Equipment Schedule, incorporating by reference the terms and conditions of this Lease, constitutes a separate instrument of lease, and the "Lessor" named therein or its assignee shall have all rights as "Lessor" thereunder separately exercisable by such named Lessor or assignee as the case may be, exclusively and independently of Lessor or any assignee with respect to other Equipment Schedules executed pursuant hereto. Lessee agrees to confirm in writing receipt of any notice of assignment, syndication, participation or placement, as reasonably may be requested by Lessor or any such assignee or participant (collectively, the "Assignee"). Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any such Assignee any defense, setoff, recoupment, claim or counterclaim which Lessee has or may at any time hereafter have against Lessor or any person other than such Assignee, for any reason whatsoever. Lessee will provide reasonable assistance to Lessor in whatever manner necessary in order to permit Lessor to complete any resale, syndication, assignment, participation or placement of the transaction contemplated by this Lease. Lessee agrees that any such assignment shall not materially change Lessee's duties or -obligations under the Lease or any Equipment Schedule nor materially increase Lessee's risks or burdens. Upon such assignment and except as may otherwise be provided therein all references in this Lease to Lessor shall include such assignee. (c) Subject always to the foregoing, this Lease and each Equipment Schedule inure to the benefit of, and are binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and thereto, as the case may be.

    18.  MISCELLANEOUS.  (a) This Lease, the Riders annexed hereto, each Equipment Schedule and any commitment letter between the parties, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall not be rescinded, amended or modified in any manner except by a document in writing executed by both parties. (b) Any provision of this Lease which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. (c) The representations, warranties and covenants of Lessee herein shall be deemed to be continuing and to survive the execution and delivery of this Lease, each Equipment Schedule and any other Lease Documents. Each execution by Lessee of an Equipment Schedule shall be deemed a reaffirmation and warranty that there shall have been no material adverse change in the business or financial condition of Lessee from the date of execution hereof. With respect to each Equipment Schedule, the obligations of Lessee under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof, together with any of Lessee's obligations under the other provisions of this Lease (as incorporated therein) which have accrued but not been fully satisfied, performed or complied with prior to the cancellation or termination of such Equipment Schedule, shall survive the cancellation or termination thereof to the extent necessary for the full and complete performance of such obligations. (d) Lessor represents and covenants to Lessee that Lessor has full authority to enter into this Lease


and any other Lease Documents to which it may become a party, and so long as no Default or Event of Default occurs with respect to an Equipment Schedule, neither Lessor nor any person authorized by Lessor shall interfere with Lessee's right to peaceably and quietly possess and use the Equipment during the term thereof, subject to the terms and provisions hereof. (e) Expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with (1) the filing or recording of real property waivers and Uniform Commercial Code statements, and (2) lien search reports and copies of filings with respect to Lessee and/or the Equipment, shall be for the account of Lessee and shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. (0 If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with respect to an Equipment Schedule, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such performance, and the amount of any out of pocket and other reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such performance, together with interest thereon at the Late Charge Rate, shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessors effecting such compliance shall not be a waiver of Lessee's default. (g) Lessee irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact (which power shall be deemed coupled with an interest) to execute, endorse and deliver any UCC statements and any documents and checks or drafts relating to or received in payment for any loss or damage under the policies of insurance required by the provisions of Section 11 hereof, but only to the extent that the same relates to the Equipment. (h) LESSOR AND LESSEE HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH LESSEE AND/OR LESSOR MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THIS LEASE. LESSEE AUTHORIZES LESSOR TO FILE THIS PROVISION WITH THE CLERK- OR JUDGE OF ANY COURT HEARING ANY SUCHCLAIM. IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS LEASE. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE PARTIES AND THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. LESSOR AND LESSEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS LEASE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. (i) All notices (excluding billings and communications in the ordinary course of business) hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier service or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other party at its respective address stated below the signature of such party or at such other address as such party shall from time to time designate in writing to the other party; and shall be effective from the date of receipt. 0) This Lease and all of the other Lease Documents shall not be effective unless and until accepted by execution by an officer of Lessor at the address, in the State of Maryland (the "State"), as set forth below the signature of Lessor. THIS LEASE AND ALL OF THE OTHER LEASE DOCUMENTS, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER'AND THEREUNDER, SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF THE STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE EQUIPMENT. The parties agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be commenced in any state or Federal court in the State, and agree that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction if served personally or by certified mail to it at its address hereinbelow set forth, or as it may provide in writing from time to time, or as otherwise provided under the laws of the State. (k) This Lease and all of the other Lease Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto on separate counterparts, each of—which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together consist of but one and the same instrument; provided, however, that to the extent that this Lease and/or the Equipment Schedule would constitute chattel paper, as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable


jurisdiction, no security interest herein or therein may be created through the transfer or possession of this Lease in and of itself without the transfer or possession of the original of such Equipment Schedule and incorporating the Lease by reference; and no security interest in this Lease and an Equipment Schedule may be created by the transfer or possession of any counterpart of such Equipment Schedule other than the original thereof, which shall be identified as the document marked "Original" and all other counterparts shall be marked "Duplicate".

    19.  DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.  (a) The following terms when used in this Lease or in any of the Equipment Schedules have the following meanings: (1) "applicable law" or "law": any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, code, common law, interpretation, judgment, directive, decree, treaty, injunction, writ, determination, award, permit or similar norm or decision of any governmental authority; (2) "business day": any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday for commercial banks under the laws of the State; (3) "UCC" or "Uniform Commercial Code": the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State or in any other applicable jurisdiction; and any reference to an article (including Article 2A) or section thereof shall mean the corresponding article or section (however termed) of any such other applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; (4) "governmental authority": any federal, state, county, municipal, regional or other governmental authority, agency, board, body, instrumentality or court, in each case, whether domestic or foreign: and (5) "person": any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other legal entity or a governmental authority, whether employed, hired, affiliated, owned, contracted with, or otherwise related or unrelated to Lessee or Lessor.

LASALLE NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION

MASTER LEASE GUARANTY

    This Master Lease Guaranty is executed and delivered by LABOR READY, INC. ("Guarantor") in favor of LASALLE NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION, its successors and assigns ("Lessor"), in connection with that certain Master Lease Agreement dated as of March 24, 2000, together with all Equipment Schedules executed or to be executed pursuant thereto (the "Lease"), by and between Lessor and Labor Ready Properties, Inc., its successors and assigns ("Lessee").

    In order to induce Lessor to enter into the Lease (execution and delivery hereof being a condition precedent to Lessor's obligations under the Lease), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEES (a) to pay Lessor in lawful money of the United States all rents and other sums reserved in the Lease, or any substitutions therefor, in the amounts, at the times and in the manner set forth in the Lease; and (b) to perform, at the time and in the manner set forth in the Lease, all of the terms, covenants and conditions therein required to be kept, observed or performed by Lessee (collectively, the "Obligations").

    1.  This Guaranty is a continuing one and shall terminate only upon full payment of all rents and all other sums due under the Lease and the performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions therein required to be kept, observed or performed by Lessee, including such payment and performance under all schedules made a part of said Lease, whether to be performed before or after the last rent payment has been made under the Lease. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt payment and performance (and not merely a guaranty of collection).

    2.  Guarantor authorizes Lessor, with Lessee's consent where required, without notice or demand, and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) change the amount, time or manner of payment of rent or other sums reserved in the Lease; (b) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Lease; (c) amend, modify, change or supplement the Lease; (d) consent to Lessee's assignment of the Lease or to the sublease of all, or any portion, of the, equipment covered by the Lease; (e) receive and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the performance of the Lease, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (f) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lessor in its discretion may determine.

    3.  Guarantor waives any right to require Lessor to: (a) proceed against Lessee: (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Lessee; (c) pursue any other remedy in Lessor's power whatsoever, or (d) notify Guarantor of any default by Lessee in the payment of any rent or other sums reserved in the Lease or in the performance of any term, covenant or condition therein required to be kept, observed or performed by Lessee. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Lessee, any lack of authority of Lessee with respect to the Lease, the invalidity, illegality or lack of enforceability of the Lease from any cause whatsoever, the failure of Lessor to acquire title to the equipment subject to the Lease or to perfect or maintain perfection of any interest therein or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Lessee; provided, however, that Guarantor does not waive any defense arising from the due performance by Lessee of the terms and conditions of the Lease. Upon demand, Guarantor agrees to pay and perform the Obligations regardless of any existing or future offset or claim which may be asserted by Guarantor. This Guaranty and Guarantors payment obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lessor, all as though such payment had not been made. Lessor's good faith determination as to whether a payment must be restored or returned shall be binding on Guarantor. Until the payment of all rents and all other sums due under the Lease and the performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions therein required to be kept, observed or performed by Lessee, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Lessee, and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Lessor now has or hereafter may have against Lessee, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lessor. Guarantor waives all


presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty.

    4.  Guarantor represents and warrants to Lessor that:

    5.  Guarantor covenants and agrees that: (a) R will provide to Lessor: (1) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, the balance sheet and related statement of income and statement of cash flows of Guarantor, prepared in accordance with GAAP, all in reasonable detail and certified by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing selected by Guarantor and reasonably acceptable to Lessor, (2) within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarter of Guarantors fiscal year, the balance sheet and related statement of income and statement of cash flows of Guarantor for such quarter, prepared in accordance with GAAP; and (3) within thirty (30) days after the date on which they are filed, all regular periodic reports, forms and other filings required to be made by Guarantor to the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any; and (b) it will promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents, instruments and assurances and take such further action as Lessor from time to time may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Guaranty and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder.

    6.  Guarantor shall be deemed to be in default hereunder ("Default') if: (a) Guarantor shall fail to perform or observe any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it hereunder and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier


of the actual knowledge of Guarantor or written notice thereof to Guarantor by Lessor, or (b) Guarantor shall (1) be generally not paying its debts as they become due, (2) take action for the purpose of invoking the protection of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any such law is invoked against or with respect to Guarantor or its property, and such petition filed against Guarantor is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or (c) there is an anticipatory repudiation of Guarantor's obligations pursuant to this Guaranty; or (d) any certificate, statement, representation, warranty or audit contained herein or heretofore or hereafter furnished with respect to this Guaranty by or on behalf of Guarantor proving to have been false in any material respect at the time as of which the facts therein set forth were stated or certified, or having omitted any substantial contingent or unliquidated liability or claim against Guarantor, or (e) Guarantor shall be in default under any material obligation for borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or any lease agreement, and the applicable grace period with respect thereto shall have expired; or (0 Guarantor shall have terminated its corporate existence, consolidated with, merged into, or conveyed or leased substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person (such actions being referred to as an "Event"), unless not less than sixty (60) days prior to such Event: (i) such person executes and delivers to Lessor an agreement satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor, in its sole discretion, containing such person's effective assumption, and its agreement to pay, perform, comply with and otherwise be liable for, in a due and punctual manner, all of Guarantor's obligations having previously arisen, or then or thereafter arising, under this Guaranty; and (ii) Lessor is satisfied as to the creditworthiness of such person, and as to such person's conformance to the other standard criteria then used by Lessor for such purposes; or (g) fifty (50) percent or more of Lessee's capital stock is not owned or controlled by Guarantor or its affiliates, unless Lessor is satisfied as to the creditworthiness of Guarantor and as to Guarantor's conformance to the other standard criteria then used by Lessor for such purpose immediately after such change of ownership.

    Upon a Default hereunder, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Guaranty to be in default by written notice to Guarantor (without election of remedies), and at any time thereafter, may do any one or more of the following, all of which are hereby authorized by Guarantor:

    In addition, Guarantor shall be liable for all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of any Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies hereunder and/or under the Lease. No right or remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available at law or in equity, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time to time.

    The failure of Lessor to exercise the rights granted hereunder upon any Default by Guarantor shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or reoccurrence of any such Default.

    The obligations of the undersigned hereunder are independent of the obligations of Lessee. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor (or any thereof) whether an action is brought against Lessee or whether Lessee be joined in any such action or actions.

    7.  GUARANTOR AGREES THAT THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LESSOR AND GUARANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE).

GUARANTOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

If Lessee desires to exercise this option it shall give Lessor written notice of its election to renew at least two hundred forty (240) days before expiration of the initial renewal term of this Lease with respect to the first Equipment Schedule to be executed under this Lease.

If (prior to one hundred eighty (180) days before expiration of the term of this Lease) the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value of the Equipment, then (at least one hundred twenty (120) days before expiration of the term of this Lease) Lessor and Lessee shall at Lessee's expense obtain appraisal values from three independent appraisers (other than American Appraisal Associates, Inc.)

If, prior to ninety (90) days before the expiration of the term of this Lease, the appraisers selected by Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the third appraiser, then American Appraisal Associates, Inc. will be selected to provide the third appraisal value.

The purchase price of the Equipment shall be an amount equal to the greater of: (x) the Fixed Percentage specified in the Equipment Schedule of the original Total Invoice Cost of the Equipment (as specified on the Equipment Schedule), or (y) the Fair Market Value of the Equipment; together with all taxes and charges upon sale.

    (3) Provided that Lessee is not then in Default, Lessee shall have the option to purchase, upon the expiration of any renewal term of this Lease, all but not less than all of the Equipment upon the following terms and conditions: If Lessee desires to exercise this option it shall give Lessor written notice of its election to purchase at least two hundred forty (240) days before expiration of the applicable renewal term of this Lease with respect to the first Equipment Schedule to be executed under this Lease. Such election shall be effective with respect to all Equipment leased under all Equipment Schedules. Thereafter, Lessee shall engage in negotiations with Lessor to determine the purchase price for the Equipment.. At the expiration of the applicable renewal term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in cash the purchase price for the Equipment so purchased, determined as hereinafter provided. The purchase price of the Equipment shall be an amount equal to its then Fair Market Value, together with all taxes and charges upon sale.

    (4) For purposes hereof, "Fair Market Value" shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the sale price of the Equipment, as installed and in use, obtainable in an arms' length transaction between a willing and informed buyer and a willing and informed seller under no compulsion to sell (and assuming that, as of the date of determination, the Equipment is in at least the condition required by Section 13 and Rider No. 3 of this Lease). If (prior to one hundred eighty (180) days before expiration of the applicable renewal term of this Lease) the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Equipment, then (at least one hundred twenty (120) days before expiration of the applicable renewal term of this Lease) Lessor and Lessee shall at Lessee's expense obtain appraisal values from three independent appraisers (other than American Appraisal Associates, Inc.) (one to be selected by Lessor, one by Lessee, and the other by the two selected by Lessor and Lessee; each of whom must be associated with a professional organization of equipment or personal property appraisers, such as the American Society of Appraisers) and the average Fair Market Value as determined by such appraisers shall be binding on the parties hereto. If, prior to ninety (90) days before the expiration of the original term of this Lease, the appraisers selected by Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the third appraiser, then American Appraisal Associates, Inc. will be selected to provide the third appraisal value.

RIDER NO. 2

    To and part of Master Lease Agreement dated as of the 24th day of March, 2000 (the "Lease'), between LASALLE NATIONAL LEASING CORPORATION, its successors and assigns ("Lessor"), and LABOR READY PROPERTIES, INC., its successors and permitted assigns ("Lessee").

TAX INDEMNITY.

    (1) Lessee represents and warrants that: (a) it believes that it is reasonable to estimate that the useful life of the Equipment exceeds the lease term (including any interim and fixed rental renewal periods) by the greater of one (1) year or twenty (20) percent of such estimated useful life, and that said Equipment will have a value at the end of the lease term, including any fixed rate renewal period, of at least twenty (20) percent of the Total Invoice Cost of the Equipment, without including in such value any increase or decrease for inflation or deflation during the original lease term; and (b) the Equipment is, and will be used by Lessee so as to remain, property eligible for the MACRS Deductions (as defined below).

    (2) If (a) Lessor in computing its taxable income or liability for tax, shall lose, or shall not have, or shall lose the right to claim or there shall be disallowed or recaptured for Federal and/or state income tax purposes, in whole or in part, the benefit of MACRS Deductions; or (b) Lessor shall become liable for additional tax as a result of Lessee having added an attachment or made an alteration to the Equipment, including (without limitation) any such attachment or alteration which would increase the productivity or capability of the Equipment so as to violate the provisions of Rev. Proc. 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, or Rev. Proc. 79-48, 1979-2 C.B. 529 (as either or both may hereafter be modified or superseded); or (c) the statutory full-year marginal Federal tax rate (including any surcharge) for corporations is other than thirty-five (35) percent; hereinafter referred to as a "Loss"; then Lessee shall pay Lessor the Tax Indemnification Payment as additional rent and Lessor shall revise the Schedule(s) of Stipulated Loss Values to reflect the Loss. It is the intent of the parties that Lessee shall only be responsible for a Loss as a result of a decrease in the statutory full-year marginal Federal tax rate (including any surcharge) prior to the initial funding Equipment under any Equipment Schedule. As used herein, "MACRS Deductions" shall mean the deductions under Section 167 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as now or hereafter amended (the "Code"), determined in accordance with the modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System with respect to the Total Invoice Cost of any item of the Equipment using the accelerated method set forth in Section 168(b)(1) or 168(b)(2) of-the Code as in effect on the date of this Lease for property assigned to the class of property specified in the Equipment Schedule pertaining thereto, "Lessor" shall be deemed to include the consolidated Federal taxpayer group of which Lessor is a member; and "Tax Indemnification Payment" shall mean such amount as, after consideration of (i) all taxes required to be paid by Lessor in respect of the receipt thereof under the laws of any governmental or taxing authority in the United States, and (ii) the amount of any interest or penalty which may be payable by Lessor in connection with the Loss, shall be required to cause Lessor's after-tax net return (the "Net Return") to be equal to, but no greater than, the Net Return computed consistently with current tax laws (and with the assumption that Lessor is taxed at the highest marginal Federal and state tax rates) as of the date of this Lease that would have been available to Lessor had the Loss not occurred.

    (3) Lessor shall be responsible for, and shall not be entitled to a Tax Indemnification Payment by Lessee on account of, any Loss arising solely as a direct result of the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (a) the failure of Lessor to timely and properly claim MACRS Deductions in the tax return of Lessor other than as a result of c hanges; in the Code or applicable regulations unless in the reasonable opinion of Lessors tax counsel there is no basis for such claim; or ~b) the failure of Lessor to have sufficient taxable income before application of the MACRS Deductions to offset the full amount of such MACRS Deductions other than as a result of changes in the Code or applicable regulations; or (c) any event which by the terms of the Lease requires payment by Lessee of the Stipulated Loss Value if such payment is thereafter actually made to Lessor, to the extent that such payment reimburses Lessor for amounts otherwise payable by Lessee pursuant hereto; or (d) a


disqualifying disposition due to sale of any item of the Equipment or the Lease by Lessor prior to a Default.

    (4) Lessor promptly shall notify Lessee in writing of such Loss and Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Tax Indemnification Payment within thirty (30) days of such notice. For these purposes, a Loss shall occur upon the earliest of: (a) the happening of any event (such as disposition or change in use of any item of the Equipment) which will cause such Loss, (b) the payment by Lessor to the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority of the tax increase (including an increase in estimated taxes) resulting from such Loss; (c) the date on which the Loss is realized by Lessor, or (d) the adjustment of the tax return of Lessor to reflect such Loss.

    (5) The obligations of Lessee under this Section, which accrue during the term of the Lease, shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease.
