PREMISES
1.1 Construction;
Suitability
The
initial improvements to the Premises shall be constructed pursuant to
Exhibit “C”
attached
hereto. Landlord shall have no other obligation to perform any construction
or
other work to the interior or exterior of the Premises or elsewhere at the
Property unless expressly set forth in Exhibit “C”.
Except
as expressly provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor
any
agent or representative of Landlord, has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the suitability of the Premises for the use set forth in the
Basic Lease Provisions, and that Tenant has entered into this Lease based solely
upon its own investigation and inspection of the Property and the Premises.
Landlord does not represent, and Tenant does not rely on the fact that any
specific tenant or tenants will occupy space in the Property during the Term
of
this Lease. Landlord reserves and excepts from the Premises the roof and
exterior walls of the Building of which the Premises are a part.
1.2 Location
The
parties acknowledge that Exhibit “A”
describes the current perimeter of the Property and sets forth a general layout
of the Property, and shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that
the
Property shall always be constructed as indicated thereon or that any tenants
or
occupants designated by name or nature of business thereon shall conduct
business in the Property during the Term of this Lease; and, subject to
compliance with all applicable laws and governmental requirements and provided
that there is reasonable access to the Premises, Landlord may in its sole
discretion increase, decrease or change the number, location, and dimensions
of
the buildings, the premises therein, driving lanes, driveways, walkways, parking
places and other improvements shown on Exhibit “A,”
and
Landlord reserves the right to make additions and alterations, including the
addition of pay telephones, to all buildings constructed in the Property, and
to
change the name of the Building, the Property, or any of the other buildings
thereon from time to time. References to “this Lease” include all exhibits and
matters incorporated by reference as part of this Lease. In the event a portion
of the Premises, Building, or Property is damaged or any other event or change
occurs which alters the RSF of any or all of the foregoing, Landlord may
appropriately adjust the foregoing areas and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof.
Following completion of any Landlord’s Work described in Exhibit
“C”,
Landlord
shall remeasure the Premises and reserves the right to remeasured the Building
in accordance with provisions of the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area
in
Office Buildings published by the Building Owners and Managers Association
(ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996) (the “BOMA Standard”) applicable to multi-tenant office
buildings, to establish the RSF thereof, and appropriate adjustments (if any)
shall be made to Minimum Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, and other terms
of this Lease dependent on the RSF of the Premises and/or Building. Tenant
shall
be deemed to have accepted any such remeasurement and/or adjustment unless
Tenant objects to same within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof
from Landlord. After the initial measurement of the Premises as described above,
in the event of any additional change in the RSF of the Premises and/or Building
caused by a change in the BOMA Standard or otherwise, the Minimum Monthly Rent
shall not be increased by more than 102% of the amounts set forth in the Basic
Lease Provisions as a result of any such remeasurement of the Building or
Premises.

1.3 Rooftop
Antenna
Tenant
may, at its risk and expense and at no additional rent, install the Satellite
Dish (as hereinafter defined) and/or Antenna System (as hereinafter defined)
on
the roof of the Building in the area thereon designated by Landlord (the
“Satellite
Dish Area”),
which
Satellite Dish Area shall contain approximately not more than 100 square feet
of
space (i.e., a 10 foot by 10 foot area), but which area shall permit the
Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System to transmit and
receive reception without interference. As
used
herein, the term “Satellite
Dish”
shall
mean the satellite dish and related wiring and equipment hereafter approved
in
writing by Landlord to be located within the Satellite Dish Area only, and
the
term “Antenna
System”
shall
mean the antenna system and related wiring and equipment hereafter approved
in
writing by Landlord to be located within the Satellite Dish Area and connected
through the Building to the Premises. The Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System
(a) may only be used by Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, and (b) shall
not
cause unacceptable load bearing burdens with respect to the applicable portions
of the roof or otherwise impair the coverage of Landlord’s roof warranty.
Neither the Satellite Dish nor the Antenna System shall be used for or on behalf
of any persons or entities other than Tenant or any Permitted Transferee (i.e.,
the Satellite Dish and Antenna System shall not be used for any commercial
or
other for-profit use which is not related to Tenant’s or a Permitted
Transferee’s business). Prior to installing the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna
System in the Satellite Dish Area, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for its
approval plans and specifications which (1) specify in detail the design,
location and size of the Satellite Dish or the equipment comprising the Antenna
System, as applicable, and (2) are sufficiently detailed to allow for the
installation of the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System and in a good and
workmanlike manner and in accordance with all laws applicable thereto. Prior
to
installing the Satellite Dish or the equipment comprising the Antenna System,
as
applicable, in the Satellite Dish Area, Tenant must also satisfy the following
conditions precedent: (x) Tenant shall have obtained the written approval
of Landlord required by the preceding sentence, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (y) Tenant shall have
obtained and be maintaining all permits and/or approvals required by applicable
laws with respect to the installation, maintenance and operation of the
Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System and shall have provided Landlord with
sufficient evidence of the existence of such permits and/or approvals. If Tenant
satisfies the conditions precedent set forth above, Tenant shall install (in
a
good and workmanlike manner), maintain and use the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna
System in accordance with all laws. Tenant will make no penetration through
the
roof of the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. After installing
the
Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System, Tenant shall maintain all permits
necessary for the maintenance and operation thereof and operate and maintain
the
same in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with any other
then-existing satellite, antennae, or other transmission facility on the
Building’s roof or in the Building. Landlord may require, in its commercially
reasonable discretion, that Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, screen
the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System with screening reasonably approved
in
writing by Landlord, which screening shall compliment the architectural design
of the Building and shall be coordinated with Landlord’s architect. Tenant
shall, at its risk and expense, remove the Satellite Dish and Antenna System
(including all wiring and/or cabling related thereto) and all screening
applicable thereto from the Property prior to expiration or termination of
this
Lease.
1.4 Access
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have access to the
Premises and the Building twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week,
and fifty-two (52) weeks a year.
1.5 Right
of
First Offer
Tenant
shall have, during the Term hereof, a continuous right of first offer to lease
additional space contiguous to the Premises on the 5th
and
6th
Floors
of the Building (the “ROFO
Space”).
Tenant’s right of first offer shall be subject and subordinate to all leases,
options and rights of other third parties in existence as of the date of mutual
execution hereof. If at any time during the initial Term, Landlord shall receive
a bona fide offer from any third party to lease all or any part of the ROFO
Space, which offer Landlord shall desire to accept, or all or any part of the
ROFO Space becomes
5
available
for lease, then Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the existence of such
offer (but Landlord shall not be obligated to disclose the economic or other
terms of the third party offer) or the availability of such portion of the
ROFO
Space for lease. Tenant may, within ten (10) business days thereafter, elect
by
written notice to Landlord to lease the ROFO Space on the same terms and
conditions as those set forth in this Lease, including as to the Tenant
Allowance, which shall be prorated based on the remaining term of this Lease
at
the time the ROFO Space is added to the Premises demised hereby, provided that
no free/abated rent periods shall apply. Failure of Tenant to exercise the
foregoing right within the prescribed time period above shall constitute a
waiver of Tenant’s right as to that offer with respect to the ROFO Space
mentioned in Landlord’s notice, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the
ROFO Space in Landlord’s sole discretion. If Tenant duly elects to exercise its
right of first offer as aforesaid, Landlord shall prepare, and Tenant shall
promptly execute, an amendment to this Lease to memorialize such election,
provided, however, that failure of Tenant to execute such amendment shall not
affect the binding nature of Tenant’s election to exercise the right of first
offer as aforesaid. The right described in this paragraph is personal to Tenant
and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or
to
any person or entity other than Tenant, and is not assignable separate and
apart
from this Lease.
1.6 Delay
in
Delivery
If
Landlord fails to deliver 4th and 5th
floor
(excluding Suite 550) of the Premises by the date that is seven (7) days after
the Possession Date specified in the Basic Lease Provisions or fails to complete
Landlord’s Work by September 3, 2007, with respect to the 4th floor or by
October 1, 2007, with respect to the 5th floor (excluding Suite 550), then,
as
Tenant’s sole remedies therefor, (a) when Tenant becomes obligated to pay
Minimum Monthly Rent hereunder, Tenant shall receive an abatement against such
Minimum Monthly Rent of $5,000 per calendar day for each day of delay after
the
end of the foregoing 7-day period as liquidated damages, and (b) the
nine-month rent abatement period specified in Paragraph
P of
the
Basic Lease Provisions shall be extended one (1) day for each day of delay.
If
Landlord fails to deliver Suite 550 with Landlord’s Work completed by the
Possession Date specified in the Basic Lease Provision then, as Tenant’s sole
remedies therefor, when Tenant becomes obligated to pay Minimum Monthly Rent
hereunder, Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Monthly Rent shall xxxxx by
an
amount
equal to one day of Minimum Rent multiplied by a percentage which is the ratio
that the RSF of Suite 550 bears to the RSF of the entire Premises
for each
day of delay (such abatement to be in addition to any abatement accrued or
accruing under subsection (a) above). Landlord and Tenant agree that the
foregoing sums are their best estimate of the daily damages that Tenant will
incur as a result of Landlord’s failure to deliver the Premises. Additionally,
if, for any reason other than delays caused by Tenant, Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Premises (excluding Suite 550) to Tenant with all Landlord’s
Work substantially completed by December 15, 2007, then Tenant may elect as
its
sole remedy to terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord on
or
before December 31, 2007. In such case, all deposits and other amounts paid
by
Tenant to Landlord shall be refunded to Tenant. If Tenant fails to deliver
such
notice of termination by the foregoing deadline, Tenant’s right to terminate for
such failure shall be forever waived.

TERM
3.1 Duration
The
Term
hereof shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date defined in the Basic
Lease
Provisions and shall terminate on the Expiration Date defined in the Basic
Lease
Provisions, unless earlier terminated or extended as set forth elsewhere
herein.
Tenant agrees to execute a certificate confirming the date of the Lease
Commencement Date in the form of the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit “E”,
which
certificate shall be initialed by Landlord and attached to, and incorporated
into, this Lease. Beginning on the Possession Date, Tenant and its agents,
contractors, architects, and consultants shall have access to the Premises
to
fixturize and otherwise ready the Premises for the commencement of Tenant’s
business therein, provided that Tenant does not unreasonably interfere
with or
delay Landlord in the prosecution of Landlord’s Work. Commencing on the date of
mutual execution hereof, Tenant and Landlord shall comply with each and
every
term, covenant, condition and provision of this Lease, excepting only those
provisions pertaining to Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, which
obligation shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date described in the
Basic
Lease Provisions. In connection therewith, Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that
certain obligations under various articles hereof shall commence prior
to the
Lease Commencement Date (i.e., construction obligations, hold harmless,
liability insurance, etc.), and Tenant agrees to be bound by these articles
prior to the Lease Commencement Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are
expressly conditioned upon termination of Tenant’s existing lease with Xxxxx
Yale Limited Partnership upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Tenant
in its
discretion. Promptly upon execution of such termination agreement, Tenant
shall
provide Landlord proof thereof. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied
within fifteen (15) business days following execution of this Lease, either
party may terminate this Lease by providing three (3) days written notice.
If
either Tenant or Landlord elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant will reimburse
Landlord for (a) the actual hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in
relocating the existing tenants necessary for Tenant’s occupancy of the
Premises, and (b) the actual hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in
performing Landlord’s Work. The aforementioned costs shall not exceed $50,000.
Along with all other obligations that survive termination of this Lease,
Tenant’s obligations under the immediately preceding sentence and the
obligations of Tenant under Article 28 shall expressly survive termination
of
this Lease.

3.2 Option
to
Extend
Provided
that Tenant is not in default at the time of Tenant’s exercise notice described
below, or at the time of commencement of the Extended Term defined below, Tenant
shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) period of
five
(5) years (the “Extended
Term”).
Tenant may exercise its extension option by delivering to Landlord written
notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise such option (the “Option
Notice”)
not
earlier than twelve (12) months and not later than nine (9) months prior to
the
Expiration Date of the Initial Term. Such Extended Term shall be on all of
the
terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except (i) Minimum Monthly Rent
shall be adjusted as set forth below; and (ii) there shall be no free rent
periods, tenant improvement or design allowances or further extension options.
The option to extend the Term of this Lease is exercisable only by the original
Tenant which is named in the Basic Lease Provisions and an assignee or sublessee
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and is not assignable or transferable. Once
delivered, the Option Notice cannot be cancelled or revoked.
3.3 Extended
Term Minimum Monthly Rent
Minimum
Monthly Rent during the Extended Term shall be Fair Market Rental Value. The
term “Fair
Market Rental Value”
shall
be the rental rate that comparable office space for the same term of the
Extended Term would command on the open market at the time of commencement
of
the Extended Term, taking into account all customary Landlord concessions for
new, non-renewal tenants, such as tenant improvement allowances, free/abated
rent, and brokerage commissions, determined in the manner set forth below.
For
purposes hereof, the term “comparable Premises” shall mean office space similar
in size and location to the Premises, in comparable buildings, with comparable
views, and with similar improvements and amenities.
(i) If
Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value of the
Premises within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Option Notice,
then Landlord and Tenant shall agree within ten (10) days thereafter on one
real
estate appraiser (who shall be a Member of the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers or equivalent) who will determine the Fair Market Rental Value of
the
Premises. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon an appraiser within
said ten (10) day period, then one M.A.I. qualified appraiser shall be appointed
by Tenant and one M.A.I. qualified appraiser shall be appointed by Landlord
within ten (10) days of notice by one party to the other of such disagreement.
The two appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises
within twenty (20) days of their appointment; provided, however, if either
party
fails to appoint an appraiser within such ten (10) day period, then the
determination of the appraiser first appointed shall be used. The appraisers
appointed shall proceed to determine Fair Market Rental Value within twenty
(20)
days following such appointment. If said appraisers should fail to agree, but
the difference in their conclusions as to Fair Market Rental Value is ten
percent (10%) or less of the lower
of the
two appraisals, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed the average of
the
two.
(ii) If
the
two appraisers should fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value, and the
difference between the two appraisals exceeds ten percent (10%) of the
lower
of the
two appraisals, then the two appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third
M.A.I. qualified appraiser, and in case of their failure to agree on a third
appraiser within ten (10) days after their individual determination of the
Fair
Market Rental Value, either party may apply to the Presiding Judge of the
Superior Court for King County, Washington, requesting said Judge to appoint
the
third M.A.I. qualified appraiser. The third appraiser so appointed shall
promptly determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises and the average
of the appraisals of the two closest appraisers shall be used. The fees and
expenses of said third appraiser or the one appraiser Landlord and Tenant agree
upon, shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall
pay the fees and expenses of their respective appraiser if the parties fail
to
agree on a single appraiser. All M.A.I. appraisers appointed or selected
pursuant to this subsection shall have at least ten (10) years experience
appraising commercial properties in the downtown Seattle central business
district.

(iii) The
determination of Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to this paragraph shall
be
final, conclusive and binding upon both parties.

5.5 Tenant’s
Contribution
From
and
after the Lease Commencement Date, and during the entire Initial Lease Term
and
all Extended Terms, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month,
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses for a
particular Lease Year exceed Operating Expenses for the Base Year, based on,
at
Landlord’s election, either: (a) the amount of such expenses actually
incurred during the billing period; or (b) equal periodic installments
which have been estimated in advance by Landlord for a particular period.
Landlord may revise such estimates upward or downward at any time with
reasonable prior notice to Tenant. If Landlord elects to xxxx Tenant based
upon
estimates, Landlord shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end
of
the calendar year, or as soon thereafter as possible, forward to Tenant a
written statement (the “annual
reconciliation statement”)
which
adjusts the estimated expenses to reflect the actual expenses incurred for
such
year. If the annual reconciliation statement shows the actual expenses to have
exceeded the estimated expenses, then Tenant’s share of such additional amount
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
annual reconciliation statement; if the annual reconciliation statement shows
the actual expenses to have been less than the estimated expenses, Landlord
shall at its election pay the amount to Tenant or credit Tenant’s share against
the sums next due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord (or against any outstanding
sums then due). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s
liability with respect to controllable Operating Expenses (excluding taxes
and
insurance) in any given Lease Year shall not increase by more than one hundred
five percent (105%) of the amount of such costs for the preceding Lease Year
on
a cumulative basis. For the purpose of this Section 5.6, “controllable Operating
Expenses” shall refer to all Operating Expenses other than Taxes, insurance,
utilities, snow removal, non-union labor and any other cost not within the
reasonable control of Landlord.
5.6 Operation
and Control
Landlord
shall have control and non-exclusive possession of the entire Common Area and
may from time to time adopt rules and regulations pertaining to the use thereof.
Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided herein, operate and maintain the
Common Area during the Lease Term. Landlord reserves the right to use the Common
Area for such promotions, exhibitions and similar uses as Landlord reasonably
deems in the best interests of the Property and its tenants. Landlord may
temporarily close parts of the Common Area for such periods of time as may
be
necessary for (i) temporary use as a work area in connection with the
construction of buildings or other improvements within the Property or
contiguous property; (ii) repairs or alterations in or to the Common Area
to any utility facilities; (iii) preventing the public from obtaining
prescriptive rights in or to the Common Area; (iv) emergency or added
safety reasons; (v) temporary use of the Common Area for entertainment,
performance or shopping events; or (vi) performing such other acts as in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment are appropriate for the proper operation or
maintenance of the Property. Landlord shall have the sole and exclusive control
of the Common Area. Landlord’s rights shall include, but not be limited to, the
right to (vii) restrain the use of the Common Area by unauthorized persons;
(viii) utilize from time to time any portion of the Common Area for
promotional, entertainment and related matters; (ix) place permanent or
temporary kiosks, displays, carts and stands in the Common Area and to lease
same to tenants; (x) temporarily close any portion of the Common Area for
repairs, improvements or alterations, to discourage non-customer use, to prevent
dedication or an easement by prescription, or for any other reason deemed
sufficient in Landlord’s judgment; and (xi) change the shape and size of
the Common Area, add, eliminate or change the location of improvements to the
Common Area, including, without limitation, buildings, lighting, parking areas,
roadways and curb cuts, and construct buildings on the Common Area. Landlord
may
determine the nature, size and extent of the Common Area and whether portions
of
the same shall be surface, underground or multiple-deck; as well as make changes
to the Common Area from time to time which in Landlord’s opinion are deemed
desirable for the Property. The manner in which the Common Area shall be
operated and maintained and the expenditures therefor shall be in Landlord’s
sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to appoint a substitute operator,
including
11
but
not
limited to, any tenant in the Property, to carry out any or all of Landlord’s
rights and duties with respect to the Common Area as provided in this Lease;
and
Landlord may enter into a contract either by a separate document or in a Lease
agreement with such operator on such terms and conditions and for such period
as
Landlord shall deem proper.
5.7 Obstructions
No
fence,
wall, structure, division, rail or obstruction shall be placed, kept, permitted
or maintained upon the Common Area or any part thereof by Tenant. Tenant shall
not conduct any sale, display, advertising, promotion, or storage of merchandise
or any business activities of any kind whatsoever in or upon the Common Area
without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall not use the Common Area
for solicitations, demonstrations or any other activities that would interfere
with the conduct of business in the Property, or which might tend to create
civil disorder or commotion.
5.8 Allocation
of Expenses;
Gross
Up
Those
Operating Expenses, Taxes, and insurance costs that Landlord reasonably
determines should be allocable to all tenants of the Property shall be
considered to be Property Operating Expenses, Taxes, and insurance costs,
respectively, and those Operating Expenses, Taxes and insurance costs that
Landlord reasonably determines should be allocable only to specific tenants
shall be shared among only those tenants. Landlord also reserves the right
to
create, as appropriate, new categories of Operating Expenses, Taxes, and
insurance costs, if certain Operating Expenses, Taxes, and/or insurance costs
are reasonably allocable only to Tenant and not to all tenants of the Building.
In such case, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be established for such
separately-categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes, and/or insurance costs, and
Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs and expenses of installing
meters or other devices to determine the actual cost or expense of such
separately categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes, or insurance costs on a pro
rata basis with those other tenants, if any, that are responsible for paying
a
portion of such separately-categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes and insurance
costs, as applicable. If less than an average of ninety-five percent (95%)
of
the rentable area of the Property is occupied by tenants during all or any
portion of a lease year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of those
Operating Expenses and insurance costs that vary by occupancy, including for
purposes of calculating Tenant’s estimated payments of increases thereof,
employing sound accounting and property management principles, to determine
the
amount of Operating Expenses and taxes that would have been expended or incurred
had ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Property been occupied
during the entire year.

levy), imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the
Premises and imposed upon Landlord, or a license fee measured by the rent
payable under this Lease or by expenditures made by Tenant on Landlord’s behalf
in connection which this Lease, then all such taxes, assessments, levies,
impositions, charges of the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed
to be included within the term “Taxes” as defined in Article 6
hereof,
and Tenant shall pay and discharge the same in the manner provided for the
payment of Taxes herein, it being the intention of the parties hereto that
the
rent to be paid hereunder shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net, without
deduction of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing electrical
generation, transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity
may consist of several different components or separate charges for such
services, such as generation, distribution and stranded cost charges. Landlord
shall have the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical
service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service for the Property,
any Buildings and the Premises with other Buildings, to purchase electricity
through a broker and/or buyers group and to change the providers and manner
of
purchasing electricity. Whenever heat generating machines or equipment or
lighting other than building standard lights in excess of Tenant’s requirements
described herein are used in the Premises by Tenant which affect the temperature
otherwise maintained by the air cooling system, Landlord shall have the right
to
install supplementary air cooling units in the Premises, and the cost thereof,
including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance
thereof, shall be paid by Tenant upon billing. Landlord may impose a reasonable
charge for utilities and services, including without limitation, air cooling,
electric current and water, required to be provided the Premises by reason
of,
(a) any substantial recurrent use of the Premises at any time other than
the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and

all services rendered under this paragraph shall be included in Operating
Expenses unless specifically excluded above or in Article 5
of this
Lease.

7.3 Interruptions
It
is
understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred
to
above will be free from interruption by virtue of a strike or a labor trouble
or
any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Such interruption of
service shall never be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or
possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor shall it render Landlord
liable to Tenant for damages, by abatement or reduction of rent or otherwise,
nor shall it relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease, nor shall Tenant be relieved from the performance of any covenant or
agreement in this Lease because of such failure or interruption; provided that
Tenant’s responsibility for Minimum Monthly Rent shall xxxxx beginning on the
second (2nd) day after the interruption caused by the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees which renders
all
or a portion of its Premises untenantable (in proportion to the amount of
Tenant’s space rendered untenantable), and continuing until the interrupted
service or utility no longer renders a significant portion of the Premises
untenantable. Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator,
plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, when necessary, by reason of accident
or
emergency, or for repairs, alterations or improvements, which are in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary, until said repairs,
alterations or improvements shall have been completed; provided, Landlord shall
use its good faith efforts to try to minimize interruption to Tenant’s business
operations.

but
which shall be paid solely by Tenant in the event that the repair or replacement

provided further that Landlord shall not be required to make any such repairs
or

thereto, Landlord’s consent shall be granted or denied not later than ten (10)
business days after the expiration of such 15-day period. All such work shall
be
accomplished at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, and Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all loss, cost,
liability and expense (including consequential damages) relating to or arising
from the Tenant Changes. All Tenant Changes shall become a part of the realty

Property); (ii) do not involve changes to the building’s systems, including
without limitation, the roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems (the Tenant

written consent, but must notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days prior
to the commencement of such Non-Structural Changes. Landlord may elect upon
expiration or termination of this Lease to require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole
cost, to remove all Tenant Changes installed by Tenant pursuant to this
paragraph and to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior
to
the installation thereof. Upon approval of any Tenant Changes, Tenant may

with Disabilities Act of 1990, together with its implementing regulations and
guidelines (collectively, the “ADA”),

the
contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that the
responsibility for compliance with the ADA (including, without limitation,
the
removal of architectural and communications barriers and the provision of
auxiliary aids and services to the extent required) shall be allocated as

Landlord; (ii) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the
provisions of Title III of the ADA for all construction, renovations,

compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for all Landlord’s
Work (if any) and for exterior and interior areas of the Building not included
within the Premises. Landlord and Tenant each agree that the allocation of

Landlord pursuant to Article 9
hereof
or otherwise insured against by Landlord, and if as a result of such
occurrence:
(a) the
Premises are rendered untenantable only in part, this Lease shall continue

in Landlord’s commercially reasonable opinion, cannot, despite diligent, good
faith efforts be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the date on which such repair or restoration work substantially
commences, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease effective as of the
date
of such damage or destruction. Within sixty (60) days after the date of such

the elements, accident, or other casualty, whether or not the Premises are
affected by such occurrence, Landlord may, at its option, to be exercised by
written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days following any such occurrence,
elect to terminate this Lease so long as Landlord terminates the leases of
all
other similarly situated tenants. In the case of such election, the Term and
tenancy created hereby shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after such
notice is given, without liability or penalty payable or any other recourse
by
one party to or against the other; and Tenant shall, within such 30-day period,

of Minimum Monthly Rent to which Tenant may be entitled as a result
thereof.
(b) If
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease in accordance with the terms
of
Paragraph 10.2(a),
Landlord shall, following such destruction or damage, commence diligently to
reconstruct, rebuild, or repair, if necessary, that part of the Property which
is necessary, in Landlord’s sole judgment, to create an economically viable
unit. However, Landlord shall reconstruct, rebuild, or repair the Premises
and
the Property to the extent only of proceeds received by Landlord from its
insurers and as permitted by Landlord’s mortgagees or other lenders. Further, if
Landlord elects to repair, reconstruct, or rebuild the Property, or any part
thereof, Landlord may use plans, specifications, and working drawings other
than
those used in the original construction of the Property.

Notwithstanding
anything set forth to the contrary herein, in the event the Premises or Property
are damaged as a result of any cause in respect of which there are no insurance

in
Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment to pay for the costs of repair or
reconstruction, or any mortgagee or other person entitled to the proceeds of
insurance does not consent to the payment to Landlord of such proceeds to fully
restore the Premises or Property, or if the Premises or Property cannot be
fully
restored to its prior condition under land use, zoning, and building codes
in
force at the time a permit is sought for repair or reconstruction, then Landlord
may, without obligation or liability to Tenant, terminate this Lease on thirty
(30) days’ written notice to Tenant (so long as Landlord terminates the leases

similarly
situated tenants) and all rent shall be adjusted as of the effective date of
such termination, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises on the
date

Provisions above, to be held by Landlord during the Term as set forth below.
The
Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and
as
security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations
hereunder, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not
be
considered as a measure of Tenant’s damages in case of default by Tenant.

any
default under this Lease or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of
Tenant hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant

11.2 Letter
of
Credit
(a) General
In
lieu
of providing the cash Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph
11.1
above,
Tenant shall have a one-time right to elect to provide an original irrevocable
letter of credit (the “Letter
of Credit”)
naming
Landlord as beneficiary, from Charter Bank or such other financial institution
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Issuer”)
but in
any event which has an investment grade rating from Standard and Poors or
Xxxxx’x, and either
(i) has
a letter of credit counter located in King County, Washington, upon which draws
can be made in person, or
(ii) has
a local correspondent based in King County, Washington, upon which draws can
be
made in person without delay. Each Letter of Credit shall be in substantially
the form of Exhibit
“F“ hereto.
Each Letter of Credit shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year and
shall be irrevocable during that term. Each Letter of Credit shall provide
that
it will be honored at sight upon a signed statement by Landlord or its agent
that Landlord is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit, and shall require
no signature or statement from any party other than Landlord or such agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no notice to Tenant shall
be
required to enable Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit, and the Letter
of
Credit will be honored by the Issuer without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof
and regardless of whether Tenant disputes the content of such statement. Each
Letter of Credit shall also provide that, following the honor of any drafts
in
an amount less than the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit, the Issuer
shall return the original Letter of Credit to Landlord and Landlord’s rights as
to the remaining amount of the Letter of Credit will not be extinguished.
(b) Issuer
Insolvency
If
the
Issuer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of
any
insolvency act, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors consent
to
the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial
part
of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or
arrangement under the Federal bank-ruptcy laws or any other applicable law
or
statute of the United States of America or any state thereof (each of the
foregoing, an “Issuer
Insolvency”),
Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold the
proceeds thereof as a Security Deposit.
(c) Time
for
Obtaining Letter of Credit
If
Tenant
desires to provide a Letter of Credit in lieu of the cash Security Deposit
described in Paragraph
11.1
above,
it must provide same to Landlord by the mutual execution hereof. Letters of
Credit covering subsequent periods shall be obtained and delivered to Landlord
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then existing
Letter of Credit (“Letter
of Credit Date”).
The
term for each such Letter of Credit shall begin no later than the expiration
date of the previously-effective Letter of Credit and shall comply with all
requirements of this Lease.
(d) Amounts
for Letters of Credit
Provided
Tenant is not then in uncured default, the Letter of Credit shall be subject
to
reduction at the same times and to the same amounts as provided for the
reduction of the Security Deposit in Paragraph
11.1 above.
(e) Uses
of
Letter of Credit
Landlord
shall have the right to draw upon a Letter of Credit up to its full amount
whenever (w) an uncured default under this Lease has oc-curred, or (x) an event
or circumstance has occurred which with notice or passage of time, or both,
would constitute a default under the Lease, notwithstanding that transmittal
of
any such notice may be barred by applicable law; or (y) a
21
satisfactory
new Letter of Credit has not been delivered to Landlord prior to the applicable
Letter of Credit Date; or (z) in the event of an Issuer Insolvency. Landlord
may
draw upon the full amount of the then existing Letter of Credit without giving
any further notice or time to cure to Tenant. No such draw shall (i) cure or
constitute a waiver of a default, (ii) be deemed to fix or determine the amounts
to which Landlord is entitled to recover under this Lease or otherwise
(including without limitation in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency
of
Tenant), or (iii) be deemed to limit or waive Landlord’s right to pursue any
rights or remedies provided for in this Lease. If all or any portion of a Letter
of Credit is drawn against by Landlord and all or any portion of the proceeds
are applied to cure a Tenant default, Tenant shall, within two (2) business
days
after demand by Landlord, cause the Issuer to issue Landlord, at Tenant’s
expense, a replacement or supplementary Letter of Credit in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit
“F” such
that
at all times during the Term, Landlord shall have the ability to draw on one
or
more Letters of Credit totaling, in the aggregate, the amount required pursuant
to this Lease.
(f) Transfer
of Letter of Credit
In
the
event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or Building, Landlord
and its transferees shall have the right, and the Letter of Credit shall
expressly so provide, without any requirement of consent of Tenant or the
Issuer, to transfer the Letter of Credit to its transferee (and its
transferee(s) may successively so transfer the Letter of Credit) and thereupon
shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant
from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall
apply to every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a new Landlord.
In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall pay any costs and fees charged
or imposed by the Issuer. It is the intention of the parties that each and
every
successor and assign of both Landlord and Tenant be bound by and subject to
the
terms and provisions of this Article. Furthermore, Landlord may, at any time
and
without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto,
assign all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to
another party, person or entity (by way of example only and not limitation,
an
assignment for security purposes or otherwise to any lender of Landlord),
regardless of whether or not such assignment is separate from or as a part
of
the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease.
(g) Miscellaneous
Tenant
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in
material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit
under the circumstances described hereinabove. Tenant further acknowledges
and
agrees that if Landlord cannot draw upon the Letter of Credit within the times
and in the manner as anticipated by Landlord herein, Landlord shall suffer
irreparable damage, harm and injury. From time to time during the Term of this
Lease it is anticipated by the parties that the Letter of Credit will need
to be
amended, modified and, possibly reissued. Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant
and agree to cooperate with one another to promptly effectuate any such
amendments, modifications and new issuances, including without limitation,
executing and submitting to the Issuer any and all documents or instruments
as
may be reasonably required to effectuate same. Each and every time during the
Term of this Lease there is a change in the identity or address of the parties,
including without limitation, any change in the identity of Landlord due to
the
sale, transfer or other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests
in,
to and under this Lease to any other party, person or entity, the Letter of
Credit shall immediately be amended or reissued to reflect such changes and
the
parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the Issuer such further
applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate
same.

EMINENT
DOMAIN
12.1 Definition
If
there
is any taking or condemnation of or transfer in lieu thereof for a public or
quasi-public use of all or any part of the Property or the Premises or any
interest therein because of the exercise or settlement due to threatened
exercise of the power of eminent domain or inverse
22
condemnation,
whether by condemnation proceedings or otherwise (all of the foregoing being
hereinafter referred to as “taking”) before or during the Term hereof, the
rights and obligations of the parties with respect to such taking shall be
as
provided in this Article 12.
12.2 Total
Taking
If
there
is a taking of all of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
of
such taking. All Minimum Monthly Rent and other amounts due under this Lease
shall be paid by Tenant to the date of such termination.
12.3 Partial
Taking of Premises
If
any
part of the Premises shall be taken, and a part thereof remains which is
reasonably susceptible of occupation hereunder for the use permitted herein,
this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall
vest in the condemnor or transferee, and the Minimum Monthly Rent payable
hereunder shall be reduced by the proportion which the floor area taken from
the
Premises bears to the total Floor Area of the Premises immediately before the
taking; but in such event Landlord shall have the option to terminate this
Lease
as of the date when title to the part so condemned vests in the condemnor or
transferee. If 25% or more of the Premises is affected by a Taking, Tenant
shall
have the right to terminate this Lease. All Minimum Monthly Rent and other
amounts due under this Lease shall be paid by Tenant to the date of any such
termination.
12.4 Common
Area Taking
If
so
much of the Common Area is taken that in the commercially reasonable judgment
of
Landlord the Property will be rendered unsuitable for the continued use thereof
for the purposes for which it was intended, Landlord may elect to terminate
this
Lease by giving Tenant written notice of such election within sixty (60) days
after the date that title to the portion so taken vests in the condemnor or
transferee. If Landlord fails to give such notice, this Lease shall remain
in
full force and effect. If any part of the Property is taken, but no part of
the
Premises is taken, and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the
rent
payable hereunder shall not be reduced, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any
part
of the award made therefor. In the event of termination, all Minimum Monthly
Rent and other amounts due under this Lease shall be paid by Tenant to the
date
of such termination.
12.5 Repair
and Restoration
If
this
Lease is not terminated as provided in this Article 12,
Landlord shall, at its sole expense, restore with due diligence the remainder
of
the improvements occupied by Tenant so far as is practicable to a complete
unit
of like quality, character, and condition as that which existed immediately
prior to the taking, provided that the scope of the work shall not exceed the
scope of the work to be done by Landlord originally in construction of the
Premises, and further provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend
an
amount greater than that which was awarded to Landlord for such taking. Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense, shall restore its furniture, fixtures and other
allowed leasehold improvements to their condition immediately preceding such
taking.
12.6 Award
In
the
event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award of
compensation or settlement in such proceedings, whether for a total or partial
taking or for diminution in the value of the leasehold or for the fee. Any
such
amounts shall belong to and be the property of Landlord. Without in any way
diminishing the rights of Landlord under the preceding sentence, Tenant shall
be
entitled to recover from the condemnor such compensation as may be separately
awarded by the condemnor to Tenant or recoverable from the condemnor by Tenant
in its own right for the taking of trade fixtures and equipment owned by Tenant
(meaning personal property, whether or not attached to real property, which
may
be removed without injury to the Premises) and for the expense of removing
and
relocating them, and for loss of goodwill, but only to the extent that the
compensation awarded to Tenant shall be in addition to and shall not diminish
the compensation awarded to Landlord as provided above.
12.7 Waiver
Tenant
hereby waives any statutory and common law rights of termination which may
arise
by reason of any partial taking of the Premises under the power of eminent
domain.

For
purposes of this Article 13:

Parties”
means
Tenant, and Tenant’s officers, members, partners, agents, employees, sublessees,
licensees, guests, customers, invitees and independent contractors, and all
persons and entities claiming through any of these persons or entities;

Parties”
means
Landlord and the members, partners, venturers, trustees and ancillary trustees
of Landlord and the respective officers, directors, shareholders, members,
parents, subsidiaries and any other affiliated entities, personal
representatives, executors, heirs, assigns, licensees, invitees, beneficiaries,

(d) Scope
of
Indemnities and Waivers
Except
as
provided in the following sentence, the indemnities and waivers contained in
this Article 13
shall
apply regardless of the active or passive negligence or sole, joint, concurrent,
or comparative negligence of any of the Landlord Parties, and regardless of
whether liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to
be
imposed on any of the Landlord Parties. The indemnities and waivers contained
in
this Article 13
shall
not apply to the extent of the percentage of liability that a final judgment
of
a court of competent jurisdiction establishes under the comparative negligence
principles of the state in which the Premises are situated, that a Claim against
a Landlord Party was proximately caused by the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of that Landlord Party, provided, however, that in such event the
indemnity or waiver will remain valid for all other Landlord
Parties.
(e) Duty
to
Defend
Each
party’s duty to defend Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties (as applicable) is
separate and independent of such party’s duty to Indemnify Landlord Parties or
Tenant Parties (as applicable). Each party’s duty to defend includes Claims for
which Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties (as applicable) may be liable without
fault or may be strictly liable. Each party’s duty to defend applies regardless

on the part of Tenant Parties or Landlord Parties (as applicable) have been
determined. Each party’s duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of
whether Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties (as applicable) have paid any sums
or
incurred any detriment arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly,
to
any Claims. It is the express intention of Landlord and Tenant that Landlord
Parties and Tenant Parties will be entitled to obtain summary adjudication
regarding the other party’s duty to defend Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties
(as applicable) at any stage of any Claim within the scope of this Article 13.
(f) Obligations
Independent of Insurance
The
indemnification provided in this Article 13
shall
not be construed or interpreted as in any way restricting, limiting or modifying
each party’s insurance or other obligations under this Lease, and the provisions
of this Article 13
are
independent of either party’s insurance and other obligations. Each party’s
compliance with the insurance requirements and other obligations under this
Lease does not in any way restrict, limit or modify such party’s indemnification
obligations under this Lease.
25
(g) Waiver
of
Immunity
EACH
OF
LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ITS IMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTIES
INDEMNIFIED UNDER THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS UNDER THE APPLICABLE STATE INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE ACTS AND EXPRESSLY AGREES TO ASSUME POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS
BROUGHT AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S EMPLOYEES. THIS
WAIVER HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES TO THIS LEASE AND EACH
PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO, AND HAS BEEN ENCOURAGED TO, CONSULT WITH
INDEPENDENT COUNSEL REGARDING THIS WAIVER.
(h) Survival
The
provisions of this Article 13
will
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all Claims
against Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties (as applicable) involving any of
the
indemnified or waived matters are fully and finally barred by the applicable
statutes of limitations.

ARTICLE
16
LIENS
Tenant
will not permit any mechanic's liens or other liens to be placed upon the
Premises, the Building, or the Property and nothing in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of
Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person for
the
performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials
to the Premises, the Building, or the Property or any part thereof, nor as
giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the
rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give
rise to any mechanic's or other liens against the Premises, the Building, or
the
Property. In the event any such lien is attached to the Premises, the Building,
or the Property, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same. Any amount
paid
by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly on
demand as Additional Rent. Tenant shall within ten (10) days of receiving such
notice of lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim released or

RIGHT
OF ENTRY
Landlord
and its authorized agents and representatives shall upon 24 hours prior notice
(except for emergencies) be entitled to enter the Premises at all reasonable
times to inspect them, to make the repairs which Landlord is obligated to make
under this Lease, to show them to prospective tenants, purchasers or lenders,
to
cure a default of Tenant, to post any notice provided by law that relieves
a
landlord from responsibility for the acts of a tenant, to comply with any
governmental requirements or
27
insurance
requirements, to post ordinary signs advertising the Premises for sale or for
lease, to install utilities, lines, chases, and conduit serving other portions
of the Property through the Premises so long as the RSF of the Premises is
not
thereby materially reduced, and for any other lawful purpose relating to
Landlord’s rights and obligations under this Lease. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall imply or impose a duty to make repairs which Tenant has agreed
to
make hereunder. Landlord may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures
where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, provided
that the entrance to the Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked. Landlord
shall have the right to use any means which Landlord may deem proper to enter
the Premises in an emergency. Landlord’s entry to the Premises shall not under
any circumstances be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into the
Premises or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises.

DELAYING
CAUSES

either
party is delayed in the performance of any covenant of this Lease because of
any
of the following causes (referred to elsewhere in this Lease as a “delaying
cause”): acts of the other party, action of the elements, war, riot, labor
disputes, inability to procure or general shortage of labor or material in
the
normal channels of trade, delay in transportation, delay in inspections, or
any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party so obligated, whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, financial inability excepted, then,
such
performance shall be excused for the period of the delay; and the period for
such performance shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of
such
delay, except that the foregoing shall in no way affect Tenant’s obligation to
pay rent or any other amount payable hereunder, or the length of the Term of
this Lease.

ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLEASE
19.1 Consent
Required
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign this
Lease or any interest herein or any right or privilege appurtenant hereto or
sublet, license, grant any concessions, or otherwise give permission to anyone
other than Tenant to use or occupy all or any part of the Premises (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as a “Transfer”),
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall
not
unreasonably withhold. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it
shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold such consent if (i)
there if then in existence an Event of Default with respect to any obligation
of
Tenant under the Lease, or (ii) the proposed Transferee or an affiliate
thereof is an existing tenant in the Property or is or has been, within the
six-month period prior to the date Tenant requests Landlord’s consent, in
discussions with Landlord regarding space at the Property. Any actual or
attempted Transfer without the Landlord’s prior written consent or otherwise in
violation of the terms of this Lease shall, at Landlord’s election, be void and
shall confer no rights upon any third person, and shall be a non-curable default
under this Lease which shall entitle Landlord to terminate this Lease upon
ten
(10) days’ written notice to Tenant at any time after such actual or attempted
Transfer without regard to Landlord’s prior knowledge thereof. The acceptance of
rent by Landlord from any person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver
by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or a consent to any Transfer. A consent
by Landlord to one or more Transfers shall not be deemed to be a consent to
any
subsequent Transfer. In addition, any option to extend or renew the Term hereof,
to terminate this Lease early, or to expand or contract the size of the Premises
shall be personal to Tenant, and shall not be Transferred without the prior
written consent of Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Article 19.
28
19.2 Request
For Consent
.
If
Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing, which notice shall include: (a) the proposed effective
date (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred
eighty (180) days after Tenant’s notice); (b) the portion of the Premises
subject to the Transfer; (c) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and
the consideration therefor; (d) the name and address of the proposed
transferee; (e) a copy of the proposed sublease, instrument of assignment
and all other documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer;
(f) current financial statements of the proposed transferee certified by an
officer, partner or owner thereof; (g) any information reasonably requested
by Landlord to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility,
character, and reputation of the proposed transferee and the nature of such
transferee’s business and the proposed use the Premises; and (h) such other
information as Landlord may reasonably request, together with the nonrefundable
sum of $750.00 which shall be applied towards Landlord’s review and processing
expenses. Such amount shall be subject to change without prior notice from
Landlord.
19.3 Recapture
.
Upon
receipt of Tenant’s request for consent to any Transfer, Landlord may elect, by
written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
information required pursuant to Paragraph 19.2
above,
to recapture the affected space by terminating this Lease as to that portion
of
the Premises covered by the proposed sublease or assignment, effective upon
a
date specified by Landlord, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30)
days nor later than sixty (60) days after Tenant’s request for consent, with a
proportionate reduction of all rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder that
are based on the area of the Premises. In such case, Landlord shall be
responsible for all demising costs. However, if Landlord exercises its recapture
right set forth herein, Tenant may void such recapture election by rescinding
its request for Landlord’s consent by written notice of such rescission given to
Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of
recapture.
19.4 General
Conditions
.
If
Landlord does not elect to recapture the affected Premises or deny its consent
to a Transfer, the granting of such consent shall be subject to the following
conditions, which the parties hereby agree are reasonable:
(a) Payment
of Transfer Premium
.
Tenant
shall pay to Landlord half (1/2) of any Transfer Premium derived by Tenant
from
such Transfer. “Transfer
Premium”
shall
mean all rent and any other consideration payable by such transferee in excess
of the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a per square
foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is Transferred), after deducting
therefrom any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer actually
paid by Tenant to an unaffiliated broker, reasonable marketing costs, Landlord’s
review fees, and tenant improvement allowances given to the Transferee by Tenant
in connection with the Transfer. If any part of the consideration for such

Tenant receives such payments.

more of the issued and outstanding stock of Tenant if Tenant is a corporation,
or (b) the whole or a partial interest of any general partner, joint
venturer, associate or co-tenant, if Tenant is a partnership, joint venture,
association or co-tenancy, shall be deemed a Transfer and shall be subject
to
the provisions of this Article 19;
provided that so
long as
the stock of Tenant is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange or
over
the counter
29
market,
the sale or other transfer of said stock shall neither be deemed a Transfer
hereunder nor require Landlord's consent or approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby acknowledges and consents to
Tenant’s right, without further approval from Landlord but only after at least
sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to sublease the Premises or
assign its interest in this Lease (i) to a corporation that directly, or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or
is
under common control with Tenant; (ii) in the event of the merger or
consolidation of Tenant with another corporation; or (iii) in connection with
the sale of the assets used in connection with the business operated by Tenant
at the Building (collectively, the “Permitted
Transfers”).

Permitted Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease and
Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the payment of all Minimum Monthly
Rent, Operating Expenses and Additional Rent and the performance of all
covenants and conditions of this Lease applicable to Tenant.

portion of the Premises is sublet) to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et. seq. (the
“Bankruptcy
Code”),
any
and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered
in
connection with such assignment or subletting shall be paid or delivered to
Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall
not
constitute property of Tenant or of its estate within the meaning of the
Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other consideration constituting
Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to
Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly
paid
or delivered to Landlord. Any assignee pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code shall
be
deemed to have assumed all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any such
assignee shall on demand by Landlord execute and deliver to Landlord a written
instrument confirming such assumption.

21.2 Holding
Over

Tenant
shall have the right, by written notice given to Landlord given not later thirty
(30) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then-effective Term (the
“Approved
Holdover Notice”),
time
being of the essence in connection therewith, to hold over at the Premises
on a
month-to-month basis for up to a total of three (3) months (the “Approved
Holdover Period”).
Such
occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease
applicable during the final year of the then-effective Term, including as to
Minimum Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. After delivery of the Approved
Holdover Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to remain at the
Premises for the entire Approved Holdover Period, provided that Tenant may
elect
to terminate such holdover, effective at the end of any calendar month during
the Approved Holdover Period, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein,
Tenant shall have no right to hold over at the Premises following termination
of
this Lease pursuant to Articles
10, 12, 25, or
26,
and
Tenant’s rights under this paragraph shall not advance, delay, or otherwise
affect the deadline by which Tenant must exercise its Extension Term Option.
If
Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease (or upon expiration of the Approved Holdover Period,
if Tenant has duly elected same pursuant to this paragraph), occupancy of the
Premises thereafter shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance, subject to all
the
terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per
month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal
to
125% of the Minimum Annual Rent due for the period immediately preceding the
holdover, plus 100% of all Additional Rent. Except with respect to the Approved
Holdover Period, (i) no holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the
expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend
the
Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises
by summary proceedings or otherwise, and (ii) nothing herein shall be construed
as consent to such holding over.
ARTICLE

QUIET
ENJOYMENT

now
or hereafter in force against the Premise or the Property, provided that such
mortgagees or beneficiaries agree in writing not to disturb Tenant’s possession
of the Premises in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not in default. The

Landlord or such person or entity.
Tenant
acknowledges that it has provided Landlord with certain financial statement(s)
as a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to lease the Premises to
Tenant, and that Landlord has relied on the accuracy of such financial
statement(s) in entering into this Lease. Tenant represents and warrants that
the information contained in such financial statement(s) is true, complete
and
correct in all material respects. Within ten (10) days from request by Landlord,
Tenant will make available to Landlord or to any prospective purchaser or lender
of the Property, audited financial statements of Tenant and any guarantor,
provided, if Tenant is not a publicly traded entity, that Landlord or any such
prospective purchaser or lender agrees to maintain such statements and
information in confidence, and provided further that if audited financial
statements of Tenant are not available at the time of such request, Tenant
may
deliver unaudited statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied and certified to be true and correct
by Tenant’s chief financial officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as

information is readily available to the public, Tenant will not be required
to
deliver additional financial statements to Landlord.

other charges thereafter accruing, or to have terminated Tenant’s liability for
damages under any of the provisions of this Lease, by any such reentry or by

the
Property is situated and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice
shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of or at any
time
subsequent to the serving of such notices and such election is evidenced by
a
written notice to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this
Lease.
(c) Damages

Landlord elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraphs 25.2(a)(1)
or
25.2(a)(3)
above,

worth
at the time of award of any unpaid Minimum Monthly Rent, Operating Expenses,

termination; plus
2. The
worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Minimum Monthly Rent,

loss
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
3. The
worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Minimum Monthly Rent,
Operating Expenses, Additional Rent or other charges for the balance of the
Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant
proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
33
4. any
other
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused
by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in

(d) Alternative
Damages

worth
at the time of award of any unpaid Minimum Monthly Rent, Operating Expenses,
Additional Rent or other charges which had been earned at the time Landlord

earned after the date Landlord recovered possession until the time of award

avoided; plus
3. Any
other
amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused

fees, (ii) maintaining or preserving the Premises after the occurrence of

tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for such reletting,
(iv) leasing commissions, and (v) any other costs necessary or
appropriate to relet the Premises; plus
4. At
Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the

(e) Definitions
.
As used
in Paragraphs 25.2(c)(1),
25.2(c)(2),
and
25.2(d)(1)
above,
the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the
Interest Rate (defined below). As used in Paragraphs 25.2(c)(3)
and
25.2(d)(2)
above,
the “worth
at the time of award”
is
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank situated nearest to the location of the Property at the time of award
plus
two (2) percentage points.
(f) Computation
of Certain Sums
.
For all
purposes of this Article 25,
Operating Expenses, Additional Rent and other charges shall be computed on
the
basis of the average monthly amount thereof accruing during the immediately
preceding sixty (60) month period, except that if it becomes necessary to
compute such amounts before such a sixty (60) month period has occurred then
such amounts shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amounts
accruing during such shorter period.
(g) Use
of
Fixtures
.
Upon
the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Landlord
may, at Landlord’s option, permit all of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture,
equipment, improvements,
34
additions,
alterations, and other personal property to remain on the Premises and Landlord
shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of same and to use same,
rent or charge free, until the Event of Default is cured or, at Landlord’s
option, at any time during the Lease Term, require Tenant to forthwith remove
same. In the event of any entry or taking possession of the Premises, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation to remove all or any part of the
fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property located in the
Premises and may place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense
and risk of the owner or owners thereof.
(h) Cumulative
Remedies
.
The
remedies given to Landlord in this Paragraph 25
shall be
in addition and supplemental to all other rights or remedies which Landlord
may
have at law, in equity or by statute and the exercise of any one remedy shall
not preclude the subsequent or concurrent exercise of further or additional
remedies.
(i) No
Waiver
.
The
waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein
contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Minimum
Monthly Rent, Operating Expenses, Additional Rent or other charges due hereunder
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant
to
pay the particular amount so accepted regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such amount. No covenant, term,
or
condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless
such waiver shall be in writing and signed by Landlord.
25.3 Interest
.
Any sum
accruing to Landlord under the terms and provisions of this Lease which shall
not be paid when due shall bear interest at the interest rate provided herein
from the date the same becomes due and payable by the terms and provisions
of
this Lease until paid, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Lease.
The
interest rate which shall apply shall be the lesser of (i) twelve percent
(12%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate allowed by applicable law (the
“Interest
Rate”).

Landlord for its monetary damages, (iii) pay the rent due under this Lease

case of a default by Landlord, Landlord shall commence promptly to cure such
default immediately after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying
the
nature of such default and shall complete such cure within thirty (30) days
thereafter, provided that if the nature of such default is such that it cannot
be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have such additional
time as may be reasonably necessary to complete its performance, so long as
Landlord has proceeded with diligence after receipt of Tenant’s notice and is
then proceeding with diligence to cure such default.
35.2 Notice
to
Lender
.
Whenever Tenant serves notice on Landlord of Landlord’s default, written notice
shall also be served at the same time upon the mortgagee under any first
mortgage or beneficiary under any first deed of trust, so long as Landlord

beneficiary shall have the periods of time within which to cure Landlord’s

right to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of curing the Landlord’s
default. Such mortgagee or beneficiary shall notify Landlord and Tenant in
the

shall have no right to: (i) terminate this Lease; (ii) avail itself of
self-help or to perform any obligation of Landlord except as expressly permitted
in Paragraph 35.1
above;
(iii) xxxxx or withhold any rent or any other charges or sums payable by
Tenant under this Lease; or (iv) any right of setoff. If Landlord is in
default hereunder, and as a consequence Tenant recovers a money judgment against
Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale
received on execution of the judgment and levy against the right, title and
interest of Landlord in the Premises, and out of rent or other income from
the
Premises receivable by Landlord or out of the consideration received by
Landlord
39
from
the
sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title and
interest in the Premises. Neither Landlord, nor any agent, officer, director,
partner or employee of Landlord shall be personally liable for any portion
of
such a judgment. If at any time the holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder is a
partnership, limited liability company or joint venture, a deficit in the
capital account of any partner, member or joint venturer shall not be considered
an asset of such partnership, limited liability company or joint venture.
