Mason Morfit, in his individual capacity and as a member of the ValueAct Group (the "ValueAct Designee").

WHEREAS, the ValueAct Group currently beneficially owns 66,865,530 shares of the common stock, par value $0.00000625 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), which represented approximately 0.803% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon the Company's Form 10-K filed on July 30, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee") and the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") have considered the qualifications of the ValueAct Designee and conducted such review as they have deemed appropriate, including as to reviewing materials provided by the ValueAct Designee and the ValueAct Group;

NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Board Nomination.

(a) The Board shall appoint the ValueAct Designee to serve as a director beginning on the first regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board after the date of the Company's 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, or any time thereafter before the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the Company's 2014 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2014 Annual Meeting"), within ten (10) business days following receipt of the ValueAct Group's written request to the Company to have the ValueAct Designee appointed to the Board; provided that, at such time, the Board does not conclude in good faith and based on the written opinion of outside legal counsel that such appointment would constitute a breach of the directors' fiduciary duties. If the ValueAct Designee is appointed to the Board pursuant to this Section 1(a), the Company shall include the ValueAct Designee as a nominee to the Board on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Company's proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the 2014 Annual Meeting.

(b) As a condition to the ValueAct Designee's appointment to the Board and any subsequent nomination for election as a director of the Company at the 2014 Annual Meeting, the ValueAct Group, including the ValueAct Designee, agrees to provide to the Company information required to be or customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors, and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange rules or listing standards, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations, and such other information as reasonably requested by the Company from time to time with respect to the ValueAct Group and the ValueAct Designee.

(c) The ValueAct Designee agrees that, at all times while serving as a member of the Board, he will (i) meet all director independence and other standards of the Company, the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 10A-3; (ii) be qualified to serve as a director under the Washington Business Corporation Act under the Revised Code of Washington (the "RCW"); and (iii) not be in breach of Section 8 of the Clayton Act, 15 USC ยง19, having been given an opportunity to cure any such breach, based on the written opinion of outside legal counsel, (the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), the "Conditions"). The ValueAct Designee will promptly advise the Nominating Committee in writing if he ceases to satisfy any of the Conditions.

(d) At all times while serving as a member of the Board, the ValueAct Designee shall comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to Board members, including the


Company's Standards of Business Conduct, Finance Code of Professional Conduct, securities trading policy, and corporate governance guidelines, and (except as permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below)) preserve the confidentiality of Company business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees to the extent not disclosed publicly by the Company;

(e) If, prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting the ValueAct Designee is added to the Board and a vacancy on the Board is created as a result of the ValueAct Designee's death, resignation, disqualification or removal, then the Company (acting through the Board) shall work together with the ValueAct Group in good faith to fill such vacancy or replace such nominee with an individual who (A) meets the conditions set forth in clauses (b)-(c) above and (B) is otherwise mutually acceptable (in each of their sole and absolute discretion (which means that any such approval may be given or not given for any reason or no reason)) to the ValueAct Group and the Company, and thereafter such individual shall serve and/or be nominated as the "ValueAct Designee" under this Agreement;

(f) The Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate immediately, and, if the Value Act Designee has joined the Board, the ValueAct Designee shall promptly offer to resign from the Board (and, if requested by the Company, promptly deliver his written resignation to the Board (which shall provide for his immediate resignation) it being understood that it shall be in the Board's sole discretion whether to accept or reject such resignation) if: (i) members of the ValueAct Group, collectively, cease to beneficially own 53,492,424 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, reclassifications, combinations, stock dividends or similar actions by the Company); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if the ValueAct Group has effected sales of share of Common Stock in order to keep the percentage of the ValueAct Group's investment in the Company at no more than 20% of the total assets under management of the ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. so long as, in any event, the ValueAct Group, collectively, does not cease to beneficially own at least 40,119,318 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, reclassifications, combinations, stock dividends or similar actions by the Company); (ii) the ValueAct Designee ceases to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (b)-(d) above; (iii) a member of the ValueAct Group, including the ValueAct Designee, otherwise ceases to comply or breaches any of the terms of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement; or (iv) the employment of the ValueAct Designee with the ValueAct Group is terminated for any reason. The provisions of Section 1(e) must be complied with before the provisions of this Section 1(f) shall take effect in the case of the death, resignation, disqualification or removal, or the termination of the employment of the ValueAct Designee with the ValueAct Group. The ValueAct Group agrees to cause the ValueAct Designee to resign from the Board if the ValueAct Designee fails to resign if and when requested pursuant to this clause (f).

(g) The ValueAct Group acknowledges that the ValueAct Designee shall have all of the rights and obligations, including fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders, of a director under applicable law and the Company's organizational documents while the ValueAct Designee is serving on the Board.

(h) The ValueAct designee shall be entitled to the consultation rights described in Annex I hereto.
