the amount which Landlord claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
written notice of the failure to pay and Tenant shall be granted five (5) days after receipt of

Landlord the amount so applied. Any payment to Landlord from the security deposit shall not be
construed as a payment of liquidated damages for any default. If Tenant is in compliance with all

enactment or enforcement of any law, ordinance, regulation or code during the Lease term requires
any changes to the Premises during the Lease term, the Tenant shall perform all such changes at its
expense if the changes are required due to the nature of Tenant’s activities at the Premises,
excluding uses specified in section l(g) or to alterations that Tenant seeks to make to the

services (except those incurred directly relating to a particular occupant of the Building);
accounting services, labor, supplies, materials and tools. Landlord and Tenant agree that if

monthly average, then the variable Operating Costs shall be increased to reflect the
Operating Costs of the Building as though it were one hundred percent (100%) occupied and
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs shall be based upon Operating Costs as so
adjusted. Operating Costs shall not include: Landlord’s income
tax or general corporate

to audit operating expenses. |
5 of 28
b. | Type of Payment: TRIPLE NET. As additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first
of each month with payment of Tenant’s base Rent one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Operating Costs. |
d. | Method of Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Operating Costs as provided above pursuant
to the following procedure: |
i) Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at or before the Commencement Date, a good faith estimate
of annual Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs. Landlord
shall also provide to Tenant, as soon as possible following the first day of each succeeding
calendar year, a good faith estimate of Tenant’s annual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for
the then-current year;
(ii) Each estimate of Tenant’s annual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs determined by Landlord
as described above, shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord such monthly installment of Operating Costs with each monthly payment of base
Rent. In the event the estimated amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs has not
yet been determined for any calendar year, Tenant shall pay the monthly installment in the
estimated amount determined for the preceding calendar year until the estimate for the current
calendar year has been provided to Tenant. At such time as the estimate for the current
calendar year is received, Tenant shall then pay any shortfall or receive a credit for any
surplus for the preceding months of the current calendar year and shall, thereafter, make the
monthly installment payment in accordance with the current estimate; and (iii) As soon as
reasonably possible following the end of each calendar year of the Lease term, but in no event
later than April 15th of the following calendar year, Landlord shall determine and provide to
Tenant a statement (the “Operating Costs Statement”) setting forth the amount of Operating
Costs actually incurred and the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs actually
payable by Tenant with respect to such calendar year. In the event the amount of Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share of Operating Costs exceeds the sum of the monthly installments actually paid by
Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30)
days following receipt of the Operating Costs Statement. In the event the sum of such
installments exceeds the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs actually due and
owing, the difference shall be applied as a credit to Tenant’s future Pro Rata Share of
Operating Costs payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section.
9. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Landlord shall provide the Premises the following services, the cost of

other services (including, but not limited to, telephone and cable service if available) and other
services which Tenant requires with respect to the Premises, except those to be provided by

usage.

behalf of Tenant. In such case, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord immediately upon
receipt of demand for payment, as additional Rent, all costs incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for any repairs to the
Premises made necessary by the acts of Landlord or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees
therein or due to commercially reasonable wear and tear. Upon expiration of the Lease term, whether

applicable laws. Tenant shall not damage or deface the Premises in installing or removing signage
and shall repair any injury or damage to he Premises caused by such installation or removal.
16. DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION.
a. | Damage and Repair. If the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s
occupancy are partially damaged but not rendered untenantable, by fire or other insured
casualty, then Landlord shall diligently restore the Premises and the portion of the Property
necessary for Tenant’s occupancy and this Lease shall not terminate; provided, however, Tenant
may terminate the Lease if Landlord is unable to restore the Premises within six (6) months of
the casualty event. The Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s
occupancy shall not be deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
usable square footage area is damaged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no
obligation to restore the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s
occupancy if insurance proceeds are not available to pay the entire cost of such restoration.
If insurance proceeds are available to Landlord but are not sufficient to pay the entire cost
of restoration, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and keep the insurance
proceeds, by notifying Tenant within sixty (60) days of the date of such casualty. If the
Premises, the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy, or 50% or more of the
rentable area of the Property are entirely destroyed, or partially damaged and rendered
untenantable, by fire or other casualty, Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease
as provided herein, or (b) restore the Premises and the portion of the Property necessary for
Tenant’s occupancy to their previous condition; provided, however, if such casualty event
occurs during the last 6 months of the Lease term (after considering any option to extend the
term timely exercised by Tenant) then either Tenant or Landlord may elect to terminate the
Lease. If, within thirty days (30) after receipt by Landlord from Tenant of written notice
that Tenant deems the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy
untenantable, Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its election to restore those areas, or if
Landlord is unable to restore those areas within six (6) months of the date of the casualty
event, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease. If Landlord restores the Premises or the
Property under this Section 16(a), Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to
complete the work, and the base Rent shall be abated in the same proportion as the
untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the leased Premises, provided that there shall
be a rent abatement only if the damage or destruction of the Premises or the Property did not
result from, or was not contributed to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of
Tenant, or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests,
invitees or visitors. Provided, Landlord complies with its obligations under this Section, no
damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of
business or annoyance directly, incidentally or consequentially arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Premises or the Property. Landlord will not carry insurance
of any kind for the protection of Tenant or on Tenant’s furniture or on any fixtures,
equipment, or appurtenances of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to
repair any damage thereto or replace the same unless the damage is caused by Landlord’s
negligence. |
9 of 28
b. | Condemnation. If the Premises, the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy,
or 50% or more of the rentable area of the Property are made untenantable by eminent domain, or
conveyed under a threat of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate at the option of either
Landlord or Tenant as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the
condemning authority first has possession of the Premises or the portion of the Property and
all Rents and other payments shall be paid to that date. In case of taking of a part of the
Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy that does not render
those areas untenantable, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the base
Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the floor area of any
structures is reduced, such reduction in Rent to be effective as of the earlier of the date the
condemning authority first has possession of such portion or title vests in the condemning
authority. The Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy shall
not be deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each of those areas are
condemned. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the condemning authority
attributable to the value of the Premises or the Property and Tenant shall make no claim for
the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate claim against the
condemning authority for moving expenses or damages resulting from interruption in its
business. |
17. INSURANCE.
a. | Liability Insurance. During the Lease term, Tenant shall pay for and maintain commercial
general liability insurance with broad form property damage and contractual liability
endorsements. This policy shall name Landlord as an additional insured, and shall insure
Tenant’s activities and those of Tenant’s employees, officers, contractors, licensees, agents,
servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors with respect to the Premises against loss,
damage or liability for personal injury or death or loss or damage to property with a combined
single limit of not less than $1,000,000. The insurance will be non-contributory with any
liability insurance carried by Landlord. |
b. | Tenants Insurance. During the Lease term, Tenant shall pay for and maintain replacement cost
fire and extended coverage insurance, in an amount sufficient to cover not less than 100% of
the full replacement cost, as the same may exist from time to time, of all of Tenant’s
personal property, fixtures, and equipment. |
c. | Miscellaneous. Insurance required under this Section shall be with companies rated A-V or
better in Best’s Insurance Guide, and which are authorized to transact business in the State
of Washington. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord upon commencement of the Lease and from time
to time thereafter, copies or certificates of the insurance policies required by this Section.
In no event shall the limit of such policies be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant
under this Lease. |
d. | Landlord Insurance.
Landlord shall carry standard form extended coverage fire insurance of
the building shell and core in the amount of their full replacement value, and such other
insurance of such types and amounts as Landlord, in its discretion, shall deem reasonably
appropriate. The cost of any such insurance may be included in the Operating Costs by a
“blanket policy” insuring other parties and/or locations in addition to the Building, in which
case the portion of the premiums therefor allocable to the Building and Project shall be
included in the Operating Costs. |
10 of 28
e. | Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and any other tenant,
their agents or employees, from responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of recovery
for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by insurance required to be carried by
each of them. Each party shall provide notice to the insurance carrier or carriers of this
mutual waiver of subrogation, and shall cause its respective
insurance carriers to waive all
rights of subrogation against the other. This waiver shall not apply to the extent of the
deductible amounts to any such policies or to the extent of liabilities exceeding the limits of
such policies. |
18. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless against all
liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from any negligent or
wrongful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants,
employees, guests, invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises as a result of any act, omission
or negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees,
guests, invitees, or visitors, or arising from any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall use
legal counsel acceptable to Landlord in defense of any action within Tenant’s defense obligation.
Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against all liabilities, damages, costs,
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from any negligent or wrongful act or omission of
Landlord or Landlord’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests,
invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises or arising from any breach of this Lease by
Landlord. Landlord shall use legal counsel acceptable to Tenant in defense of any action within
Landlord’s defense obligation. The provisions of this section 17 shall survive expiration or
termination of this Lease.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
With the exception of a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, encumber or
otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease (collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) or any
part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested
Transfer within five (5) business days of written request by
Tenant. No Transfer shall relieve
Tenant of any liability under this Lease notwithstanding
Landlord’s consent to such Transfer.
Consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for Landlord’s consent to
any subsequent Transfer. If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or
other entity, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, redemption or liquidation, or
any change(s) in the ownership of, or power to vote, which singularly or collectively represents a
majority of the beneficial interest in Tenant, shall constitute a Transfer under this Section. As
a condition to Landlord’s approval, if given, any potential assignee or sublessee otherwise
approved by Landlord shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be jointly
and severally liable with Tenant and any guarantor, if required, for the payment of Rent and
performance of all terms of this Lease. In connection with any Transfer, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with copies of all assignments, subleases and assumption instruments. With reasonable
notice to Landlord (not prior consent), Tenant shall be permitted to sublease or assign all or any
portion of its Premises, to any related entity or affiliate of Tenant, whether by merger,
consolidation or any successor entity, (collectively referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”)
without having the obligation of securing the Landlord’s approval or consent, and Landlord shall
not participate in any profits from said subleasing.
11 of 28
20. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens created by or through Tenant. Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from liability from any
such liens including, without
limitation, liens arising from any Alterations. If a lien is filed against the Premises by any
person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, at Tenant’s
expense, immediately furnish to Landlord a bond in form and amount and issued by a surety
satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord and the Premises against all liabilities, costs and
expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Landlord could reasonably incur as a result of such
lien(s).
21. DEFAULT. The following occurrences shall each be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant:
a. | Failure To Pay. Tenant fails to pay any sum, including Rent or NNN operating expense, due
under this Lease following five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from
Landlord of the failure to pay. |
b. | Vacation/Abandonment. Tenant vacates the Premises (defined as an absence for at least 30
consecutive days without prior notice to Landlord), or Tenant abandons the Premises (defined
as an absence of fifteen (15) days or more while Tenant is in breach of some other term of
this Lease). Tenant’s vacation or abandonment of the Premises shall not be subject to any
notice or right to cure. |
c. | Insolvency. Tenant becomes insolvent, voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or a receiver,
assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed for Tenant’s business, provided that in the
event of any involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, the existence of such
proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default only if such proceeding is not dismissed or
vacated within 60 days after its institution or commencement. |
x. | Xxxx or Execution. Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, is
taken by execution or other process of law directed against Tenant, or is taken upon or
subjected to any attachment by any creditor of Tenant, if such attachment is not discharged
within 15 days after being levied. |
e. | Other Non-Monetary Defaults. Tenant breaches any agreement, term or covenant of this Lease
other than one requiring the payment of money and not otherwise enumerated in this Section,
and the breach continues for a period of 30 days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant
of the breach. |
f. | Failure to Take Possession. Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises on the
Commencement Date. |
12 of 28
22. REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies upon an Event of Default. Landlord’s
rights and remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or
remedy allowed by law.
a. Termination of Lease. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s interest under the Lease, but no act by
Landlord other than written notice from Landlord to Tenant of termination shall terminate this
Lease. The Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the notice of termination. Upon
termination of this Lease, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to
the rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant under this Lease for the balance of
the Lease term, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord
subsequent to the termination, after deducting all reasonable Landlord’s Reletting Expenses (as
defined below). Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the
days on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Lease or alternatively,
Landlord may accelerate Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and recover from Tenant: (i) unpaid
rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rent
loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of rent
loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided (discounting such amount by the discount rate
of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%); and (iv) any
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s
failure to perform its obligations under the Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be
likely to result from the Event of Default, including without limitation Reletting Expenses
described in Section 22b.
b. Re-Entry and Reletting. Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and without
demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel the
Tenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under the Tenant, and remove the personal
property of either. Landlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, in Landlord’s name, for
such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Landlord, in its discretion, may
determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the Premises. Re-entry or taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on
Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant.
Landlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to
exercise its right to terminate the Lease. During the Event of Default, Tenant will pay Landlord
the rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease if repossession had not occurred,
plus the net proceeds, if any, after reletting the Premises, after deducting Landlord’s reasonable
Reletting Expenses. “Reletting Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with reletting the Premises, including without limitation, all repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, remodeling and repair costs, costs for removing and storing
Tenant’s property and equipment, and rent concessions granted by Landlord to any new Tenant,
prorated over the life of the new lease with Tenant responsible for its pro rata share of the
reasonable Reletting Expenses. Tenants pro rata share shall be defined as Tenants remaining lease
term in months divided by the total lease term of the new lease in months.
c. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming
through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, hereby waives and surrenders all rights
and privileges which they may have under any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or to
have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease term, as it may have been extended.
d. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord pursuant to this
Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were payments of Rent, and Landlord
shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent.
13 of 28
e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at
Landlord’s request following an uncured Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, remove and
store the property at Tenant’s expense and risk. If Tenant does not pay the storage cost within
five (5) business days of Landlord’s request, Landlord may, at its option, have any or all of such
property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord may become a purchaser at such sale), in such
manner as Landlord deems proper, without notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of
such sale: (i) to the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred;
(ii) to the payment of the costs or charges for storing such property; (iii) to the payment of any
other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of
the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any, to Tenant. Nothing in this Section shall limit
Landlord’s right to sell Tenant’s personal property as permitted by law to foreclose Landlord’s
lien for unpaid rent.
23. MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease shall automatically be subordinate to any
mortgage or deed of trust created by Landlord which is now existing or hereafter placed upon the
Premises including any advances, interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions
(“Landlord’s Mortgage”), provided the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring
the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord’s Mortgage shall elect to
continue this Lease in full force and effect. Tenant shall attorn to the holder of any Landlord’s
Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any
Landlord’s Mortgage provided such person(s) assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
Tenant shall promptly and in no event later than fifteen (15) days execute, acknowledge and deliver
documents which the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage may reasonably require as further evidence of
this subordination and attornment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s obligations under this
Section are conditioned on the holder of each of Landlord’s Mortgage and each person acquiring the
Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord’s Mortgage not disturbing Tenant’s
occupancy and other rights under this Lease, so long as no uncured Event of Default exists.
24. NON-WAIVER. Landlord’s waiver of any breach of any term contained in this Lease shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of the same term for subsequent acts of Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of
Rent or other amounts due by Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by
Tenant preceding such acceptance.
25. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have the right to remain in the Premises on a month-to-month basis for
up to three (3) months (“Permitted Holdover”) after the Lease expiration under the same terms and
conditions that are in effect upon Lease expiration. After the Permitted Holdover period Tenant
shall have the right to holdover with Landlords consent, such tenancy shall be deemed to be on a
month-to-month basis and may be terminated according to Washington law. During such tenancy, Tenant
agrees to pay to Landlord 125% the rate of rental last payable under this Lease, unless Landlord
and Tenant agree upon a different rate. All other terms of the Lease shall remain in effect. Under
no conditions shall Tenant be liable for consequential and/or special damages as a result of any
holdover.
26. NOTICES. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and effective (i) when delivered in
person, (ii) three (3) days after being sent by registered or certified mail to Landlord or Tenant,
as the case may be, at the Notice Addresses set forth in Section 1(h); or (iii) upon confirmed
transmission by facsimile to such persons at the facsimile numbers
set forth in Section 1(h) or
such other addresses/facsimile numbers as may from time to time be designated by such parties in
writing.
27. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If Tenant or Landlord engage the services of an attorney to collect
monies due or to bring any action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise,
arising out of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or other
payments, or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party a
reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees in such suit, at trial and on
appeal.
14 of 28
28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon written request of Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee a written statement specifying the
following, subject to any modifications necessary to make such statements true and complete: (i)
the date the Lease term commenced and the date it expires; (ii) the amount of minimum monthly Rent
and the date to which such Rent has been paid; (iii) that this Lease is in full force and effect
and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way; (iv) that this Lease
represents the entire agreement between the parties; (v) that all conditions under this Lease to be
performed by Landlord have been satisfied; (vi) that there are no existing claims, defenses or
offsets which the Tenant has against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord; (vii) that no Rent
has been paid more than one month in advance; and (viii) that no security has been deposited with
Landlord (or, if so, the amount thereof). A prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest or
assignee of any mortgage or new mortgagee of Landlord’s interest in the Premises may rely upon any
such statement delivered pursuant to this Section. If Tenant shall fail to respond within ten(10)
business days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided, Tenant
shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be
deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a prospective
purchaser or mortgagee.
29. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST. This Lease shall be assignable by Landlord without the consent
of Tenant. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, other
than a transfer for security purposes only, upon the assumption of this Lease by the transferee,
Landlord shall be automatically relieved of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the
date of such transfer, except for any retained security deposit or prepaid rent, and Tenant shall
attorn to the transferee. See section 32. Not to adversely impact Tenant’s lease.
30. RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Tenant shall fail to timely pay any sum or perform any other act on its
part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may make any such payment or perform any such other act on
Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse
Landlord for its expenses incurred in making such payment or performance. Landlord shall (in
addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord provided by law) have the same rights and
remedies in the event of the nonpayment of sums due under this Section as in the case of default by
Tenant in the payment of Rent.
31. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Landlord represent and warrants that to the best of its knowledge after
investigation and inquiry, that Landlord has not used the Building to treat, store, refine,
process, or dispose of hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or toxic substances, as those terms
are defined under CERCLA, 43 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., RECR, 52 U.S.C. 6901, et seq., or TSCA, 15 U.S.C.
2401 et seq. (hereinafter “Hazardous Materials”) except as is normal in the operation of a
commercial office building, including but not limited to janitorial supplies and duplicating
supplies. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge,
there is no “Hazardous Material” (as defined below) on, in, or under the Premises as of the
Commencement Date except as otherwise disclosed to Tenant in writing before the execution of this
Lease. If there is any Hazardous Material on, in, or under the Premises as of the Commencement Date
which has been or thereafter becomes unlawfully released through no fault of Tenant, then Landlord
shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses including without limitation sums paid in settlement
of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and expert fees, incurred or suffered by Tenant either
during or after the Lease term as the result of such contamination. Tenant shall not cause or
permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept, or used in or about, or disposed of on the
Premises by Tenant, its agents,
15 of 28
employees,
contractors or invitees, except in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations, codes and ordinances. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding
sentence, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims,
judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses including, without limitation,
diminution in the value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or
usable space or of any amenity of the Premises, or elsewhere, damages arising from any adverse
impact on marketing of space at the Premises, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’
fees, consultant fees and expert fees incurred or suffered by Landlord either during or after the
Lease term. These indemnifications by Landlord and Tenant include, without limitation, costs
incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal
or restoration work, whether or not required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or
political subdivision, because of Hazardous Material present in the Premises, or in soil or ground
water on or under the Premises. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry,
investigation or notice that Tenant may receive from any third party regarding the actual or
suspected presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the
presence of any Hazardous Material brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises by Tenant,
its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, results in any unlawful release of Hazardous
Materials on the Premises or any other property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its
sole expense, as are necessary to return the Premises or any other property, to the condition
existing prior to the release of any such Hazardous Material; provided that Landlord’s approval of
such actions shall first be obtained, which approval may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion.
As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous, dangerous, toxic or harmful
substance, material or waste including biomedical waste which is or becomes regulated by any local
governmental authority, the State of Washington or the United States Government, due to its
potential harm to the health, safety or welfare of humans or the environment. The provisions of
this Section 30 shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
32. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of its obligations in this
Lease, Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, or by the holders of any
Landlord’s Mortgage or any successor thereto will not disturb Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of
the possession of the Premises.

their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. |

Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any loss, cost, liability or expense

express written brokerage agreement. |

the Lease, and the legal description of the Premises as set forth on attached Exhibit B. |

review shall not constitute an offer to lease the Premises. This Lease shall not become
effective and binding upon Landlord and Tenant until it has been fully signed by both
Landlord and Tenant. |
i. | No Light, Air or View
Easement. Tenant has not been granted an easement or other right for
light, air or view to or from the Premises. Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or
view by any structure which may be erected on or adjacent to the Building shall in no way
effect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder or impose any liability on Landlord. |
j. | Authority of Parties. Any individual signing this Lease on behalf of an entity represents
and warrants to the other that such individual has authority to do so and, upon such
individual’s execution, that this Lease shall be binding upon and enforceable against the

which case Landlord and Tenant consent
to such compensation. Landlord and Tenant confirm receipt of the pamphlet entitled “The Law of Real
Estate Agency.”

approves of the resubmitted Space Plans within three (3) business days after its receipt thereof.
This process shall be repeated until the Space Plans have been finally approved by Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord’s approval of the Space Plans shall not be a representation or warranty of
Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any Law, but shall merely be
the consent of Landlord thereto.
3. Drawings. Tenant shall cause its Architect to prepare all plans and specifications
(the “Drawings”) necessary to construct the interior improvements of the Premises (the
“Improvements”). The Drawings shall include, without limitation, the partition layout,

any resubmitted Drawings within five (5) days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be
deemed to have approved the Drawings. Landlord’s approval of such Drawings shall not be
unreasonably withheld, provided that (1) they comply with all Laws, (2) the improvements depicted
thereon do not adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the Building’s
Structure, HVAC System, life-safety, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems, the exterior
appearance of the Building, or the appearance of the Building’s common areas or elevator lobby
areas (if any), (3) the Drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of the
