16.1.3 Credit Default.

One of the following credit defaults occurs:

(1) Subtenant commences any proceeding under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debts, or seeks appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Subtenant or for any substantial part of its property, or any such proceeding is commenced against Subtenant and either remains undismissed for a period of ninety days or results in the entry of an order for relief against Subtenant that is not fully stayed within fifteen days after entry;

16.2 Sublandlord's Remedies.

16.2.1 Termination of Sublease or Possession.

If Subtenant defaults, then Sublandlord may elect by notice to Subtenant either to terminate this Sublease or to terminate Subtenant's possession of the Premises without terminating this Sublease. In either case, Subtenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Sublandlord, and Sublandlord may repossess the Premises and may, at Subtenant's sole cost, remove any of Subtenant's signs and any of its other property, without relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Subtenant.

16.2.2 Sublease Termination Damages.

If Sublandlord terminates this Sublease, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all Rent due on or before the date of termination, plus Sublandlord's reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent that would have been payable from the date of termination through the expiration of the Term stated in this Sublease, reduced by the rental value of the Premises calculated as of the date of termination for the same period, taking into account anticipated vacancy prior to reletting, reletting expenses and market concessions, both discounted to present value at the rate of seven and one-half percent (7¹/2%) per annum. If Sublandlord shall relet any part of the Premises for any part of such period before such present value amount shall have been paid by Subtenant or formally determined by a court, then the amount of Rent payable pursuant to such reletting (taking into account vacancy prior to reletting and any reletting expenses or concessions) shall be deemed to be the reasonable rental value for that portion of the Premises relet during the period of the reletting.

16.2.3 Possession Termination Damages.

If Sublandlord terminates Subtenant's right to possession without terminating the Sublease and Sublandlord takes possession of the Premises itself, Sublandlord may relet any part of the Premises for such Rent, for such time, and upon such terms, as Sublandlord in its sole discretion shall determine, without any obligation to do so prior to renting other vacant areas in the Building. Any proceeds from

reletting the Premises shall first be applied to the expenses of reletting, including redecoration, repair, alteration, advertising, brokerage, legal, and other reasonably necessary expenses.

Any excess proceeds shall be retained by Sublandlord.

All of Sublandlord's remedies under this Sublease shall be in addition to all other remedies Sublandlord may have at law or in equity. Waiver by Sublandlord of any breach of any obligation by Subtenant shall be effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Sublandlord's acceptance of payment by Subtenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Subtenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Sublandlord's notice to Subtenant, or termination of this Sublease or of Subtenant's right to possession, then acceptance shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Sublandlord after commencement of a legal proceeding or formal judgment shall not affect such proceeding or judgment. Sublandlord may advance such monies and take such other actions for Subtenant's account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate any default by Subtenant. Subtenant shall immediately reimburse Sublandlord for any such advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate until paid. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in enforcing this Sublease, whether or not suit is filed.

16.2.5 Litigation Costs.

Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in enforcing this Sublease, whether or not suit is filed.

17. Costs and Attorneys' Fees.

If by reason of any default by either party in the performance of any of the provisions of this Sublease it shall become necessary for the other party to employ an attorney in connection with litigation or arbitration, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable pretrial, trial and appellate attorneys' fees expended or incurred by the party employing such attorney in connection therewith.

18. Right to Cure Defaults of Subtenant.

If Subtenant shall be in default under this Sublease, then Sublandlord may (but shall not be obligated to) cure the same at Subtenant's expense. In any such case, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on demand all reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in curing such default, together with interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the highest lawful rate that may be charged with respect thereto under the laws of the State of Washington or (ii) five percent (5%) over the prime rate of SeaFirst Bank as announced from time to time. No action taken by Sublandlord pursuant to this Section 18 shall constitute a waiver of Sublandlord's other rights and remedies under this Sublease.

19. Surrender.

Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Subtenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises to Sublandlord in as good a condition as at the date of delivery of possession thereof except for conditions occasioned by reasonable wear and tear. Subtenant shall remove all of its movable property and trade fixtures that can be removed without unrepaired damage to the Premises at the termination of this Sublease and shall pay to Sublandlord any damages for injury to the Premises or the Building occasioned by such removal to the extent not reasonably repaired by Subtenant.

20. Damage or Destruction of Property.

In the case of damage or destruction of the Premises or other portions of the Building, the provisions of the Master Lease shall control, so that if the Master Lease is terminated (or its term ends) as to the Premises, this Sublease shall also concurrently terminate, and if rental is abated under the Master Lease as to the Premises, it shall be similarly abated as to the same area for the same period of time under this Sublease.

21. Condemnation.

In the event of a taking of the Premises or a portion of the Building by eminent domain that under the Master Lease would cause the Master Lease to terminate, then this Sublease shall terminate.

22. Sublandlord's Reserved Access.

23. Holdover.

Subtenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Sublease without Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord's sole and absolute discretion. If Subtenant retains possession of any part of the Premises after the Term with Sublandlord's consent, then Subtenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the entire Premises upon all of the terms of this Sublease as might be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy, except that Subtenant shall pay all of Base Rent, Operating Cost Rent and Building Share Rent at 150% the rate in effect immediately prior to such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Subtenant remains in possession. No acceptance of Rent or other payments by Sublandlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a waiver of Sublandlord's right to regain possession or any other of Sublandlord's remedies.

24. Integration.

All prior understandings and agreements between the parties are merged within this Sublease, which alone fully and completely sets forth the understanding of the parties, and this Sublease may not be changed or terminated orally or in any manner, other than by agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change or termination is sought.
