DATE.
2.1 Landlord's
Work.
2.1.1 Landlord
shall perform certain work in preparing the Premises for occupancy by Tenant
all
as set forth in Exhibit C and in this section ("Tenant
Improvements").
2.1.2 If
Tenant
desires improvements beyond the Tenant Improvements set forth in Exhibit
C, and
Landlord
and
Tenant agree as to further additional work, Tenant shall, within five (5)
days
after written demand, pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, the agreed upon
cost
and expense to Landlord of supplying and installing such additional work,
materials and installations (including sales tax and design fees), plus ten
percent (10% of such cost and expense for Landlord's overhead, less a credit
equal to the cost to Landlord of materials specified in Exhibit C (if any)
for
which substitutes were installed at Tenant's request.
2.1.3 Landlord
shall perform the Tenant Improvements, provided, however, that Landlord shall
have the right on an on-going basis to make any changes required by any
Governmental Authority. Landlord shall perform work only once, it being
understood that Landlord's obligation to perform the work with respect to
Tenant
Improvements is a single, non-recurring obligation.
2.1.4 Tenant
will be permitted entry into the Premises on September 19, 2005 for the purpose
of installing data and telephone cabling and wires, installation of warehouse
racking, installation of office work stations and any other needed preparation
of the Premises for occupancy by Tenant or for any other purpose permitted
by
Landlord; provided, however, that such early entry will be at Tenant's sole
risk
and subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease as though the
Commencement Date had occurred, except for the payment of Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent, which will commence on the Commencement Date. Tenant will
not
interfere with or delay Landlord's performance of the Tenant Improvements.
All
rights of Tenant under this Section 2.1.4 will be subject to the requirements
of
all applicable building codes and zoning requirements. Tenant may use its
own
contractors for the installation of warehouse racking and office data and
telephone cabling.
2.2
Commencement
Date.
2.2.1 The
Commencement Date listed in Section 1 of this Lease represents an estimate
of
the actual Commencement Date. The actual Commencement Date shall be the first
to
occur of the following events: (i) three (3) days after Landlord notifies
Tenant
the Premises are available for Tenant's occupancy in the condition required
pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Lease, or (ii) the date on which Tenant takes
possession of the Premises for purposes other than completing tenant
improvements. If the Commencement Date is later than the estimated Commencement
Date specified in Section 1 above, this Lease shall not be void or voidable.
If
the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of the calendar month,
unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord and Tenant, the Term shall
not
commence until the first day of the first calendar month staring after the
Commencement Date, however all of the other terms and conditions of this
Lease
(including those regarding the payment of rent) shall be applicable on the
Commencement Date.
2.2.2 Tenant
waives any damages which may result from any delay in the substantial completion
of the work described in Section 2.1 or delivery of possession of the Premises.
If Tenant takes possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date
for
the purpose of doing business in the Premises, Tenant's obligation to pay
Rent
hereunder and to observe and perform all other conditions and agreements
hereunder with respect to the Premises shall commence on such earlier date
of
taking possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall
not take possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for such
purposes without Landlord's written permission.
2.2.3 In
the
event that substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements is delayed by
reason of delays caused or occasioned by Tenant, this Lease shall commence
on
the date that this Lease would have commenced had not the completion of Tenant
Improvements been so delayed by the Tenant, as reasonably determined by
Landlord.
2.2.4 The
taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be deemed an acceptance
of
the Premises and substantial completion by Landlord of the Tenant
Improvements.
2.2.5 Promptly
after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall complete and send to Tenant the
Verification Letter attached to this Lease as Exhibit
D.
Tenant
shall execute and return the Verification Letter to Landlord within fifteen
(15)
days of receipt.
2.3 Ownership
of Improvements.
All
installations, alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures and other property
which are now or at any time hereafter attached to, or located upon the
Premises, made or installed by either party, including all pipes, ducts,
conduits, wiring, paneling, decorations, partitions, railings, mezzanine
floors,
galleries and the like, shall be and remain the property of Landlord and
shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term in accordance with Exhibit
C
attached
to this Lease. None of the foregoing shall be deemed to include any of Tenant's
furniture, trade fixtures and personal property which are removable without
damage to the Premises. To the extent Tenant is required to remove any
improvements made by Tenant to the Premises upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term, Landlord will notify Tenant of such removal requirement
at the time Landlord approves the installation of any such
improvements.
2.4
Option
to Extend Term.
2.4.1 Landlord
grants to Tenant one (1) Option (the "Option")
to
extend the Term for an additional term of five (5) years (the "Extension"),
on
the same terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Lease, except
as
provided below. The Option shall be exercised only by written notice delivered
to Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration
of
the Term. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord written notice of the exercise
of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option shall lapse,
and
there shall be no further right of Tenant to extend the Term. The Option
shall
be exercisable by Tenant only upon the express conditions precedent that,
at all
times prior to the commencement of such Extension, (a) Tenant has not been
and
shall not be in default under any of the provisions of the Lease, and (b)
the
Lease shall be in full force and effect. The foregoing Option is personal
to
Tenant and may not be exercised by any assignee or subtenant of
Tenant.
2.4.2 The
Fixed
Rent shall be increased on the first day of the Extension to the "Fair
Rental Value of the Premises"
(as
defined below), determined in the following manner:
(a) Landlord
and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith upon Tenant's exercise of the Option
to
agree upon the Fair Rental Value of the Premises. If Landlord and Tenant
have
not been able to agree on the Fair Rental Value of the Premises within thirty
(30) days after Tenant's exercise of the Option, the Fixed Rent for the
Extension shall be determined as follows: within forty five (45) days following
the exercise of the Option, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith
to
agree upon a single appraiser. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree
upon a
single appraiser within the 45 day period, each shall then, by written notice
to
the other, within ten days after the 45 day period, appoint one appraiser.
Within ten (10) days after the two appraisers are appointed, the two appointed
appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant
fails
to appoint its respective appraiser within the prescribed time period, the
single appraiser appointed shall determine the Fair Rental Value of the
Premises. If the two appointed appraisers fail to agree on the third appraiser,
the third appraiser shall be appointed by the then-president of the Seattle,
Washington Chapter of the Appraisal Institute. Each party shall bear the
cost of
the appraiser appointed by it, and the parties shall share equally the cost
of
the third appraiser.
(b) The
term
"Fair
Rental Value of the Premises"
shall
mean the rent that a ready and willing tenant would pay, at the time of the
commencement of the Extension, as monthly Fixed Rent to a ready and willing
lessor of property comparable to the Premises, if such property were exposed
for
lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, and taking into
account all of the purposes for which such property may be used, and not
just
the use proposed to be made of the property by Tenant. Currently, 6,000 square
feet of the Premises is built out as office space. If, at the time of the
Extension, Tenant is using only 4,000 square feet of the office space within
the
Premises as office space, then the Fair Rental Value of the Premises will
be
calculated based on the use of 2,000 square feet of the office space within
the
Premises as warehouse space. If, however, Tenant is using more than 4,000
square
feet of office space as office space, the Fair Rental Value of the Premises
will
be calculated using office rental rates for the full 6,000 square feet. The
Fair
Rental Value of the Premises shall be the average of the two of the three
appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be
disregarded. In no event shall the Fixed Rent be reduced by reason of such
computation. If the Fair Rental Value of the Premises is not determined prior
to
the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord
the Fixed Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to the Extension,
until the Fair Rental Value of the Premises is determined, and when it is
determined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt
of
written notice the difference between the Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant
to
Landlord and the new Fixed Rent determined under this Section 2.4.
3.

3.1

All
Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal
tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time

place as Landlord in writing may designate, without any set-off or deduction

with respect to the Building, the Tenant Improvements or the Building
Parcel.
(b) "Tenant's
Share of Real Property Taxes"
shall
mean the amount of Real Property Taxes payable during any calendar year by
Landlord multiplied by Tenant's Pro Rata Share.

with installments of Fixed Rent. Until Landlord provides Tenant with the
written

year Landlord obtains information regarding Real Property Taxes which alters

Property Taxes determined as provided in the preceding subsection 3.3.2,
Tenant
shall pay the amount of such excess to Landlord as added Additional Rent
within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement by Tenant. If such statement
shows such amount to be less than the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant
to the preceding subsection 3.3.2, then the amount of such overpayment shall
be
credited by Landlord to the next due Rent payable by Tenant; however, upon
the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term, if Tenant has otherwise complied
with all other terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall refund
any
unpaid excess to Tenant.
3.3.4 Personal

of
the refund. As used herein, the term "net

means
the refund plus interest, if any, thereon, paid by the Governmental Authority
less appraisal, engineering, expert testimony, attorney, printing and filing
fees and all other costs and expenses of the proceeding. Tenant shall not
have
the right to institute or participate in any such proceedings without the
consent of Landlord, it being understood that the commencement, conduct,

for insurance carried by Landlord on the Building or the Building Parcel,

(d)
"Estimated
Costs Allocable to the Premises"
shall
mean Landlord's estimate of Actual Costs Allocable to the Premises to be
given
by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to subsection 3.4.2 below.
(e)
If
during
any year, the Building is less than fully occupied, then, for purposes of
calculating Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Common Area Operating Costs for that
year, the amount of expenses that fluctuate with Building occupancy shall
be
imputed to be the amount which, in Landlord's reasonable estimation, they
would
have been had the Building been fully occupied for that entire
year.
3.4.2 Additional
Rent for Estimated Costs.
Each
year Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement of the Estimated Costs
Allocable to the Premises for such calendar year: One-twelfth (1/12) of such
amount shall be Additional Rent payable by Tenant with installments of Fixed
Rent. Until Landlord provides Tenant with the written statement provided
for
above in this paragraph, Tenant shall continue to pay the amount of the
Estimated Costs Allocable to the Premises specified in the last such written
statement given to Tenant by Landlord. If during a calendar year Landlord
obtains information regarding Common Area Operating Costs which alters
Landlord's prior estimate of the Estimated Costs Allocable to the Premises,
by
written notice to Tenant, Landlord may adjust the amount due from Tenant
under
this Section 3.4.2 during the balance of that calendar year to reflect such
new
information. Estimated Costs Allocable to the Premises will not include business
and occupation taxes unless such taxes are substituted for or replace real
property taxes to be paid by Landlord.
3.4.3 Actual
Costs.
After
the close of each calendar year or portion thereof, Land-lord shall deliver
to
Tenant a written statement setting forth the Actual Costs Allocable to the
Premises during the preceding calendar year. If such costs for any calendar

exceed Estimated Costs Allocable to the Premises paid by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to the preceding subsection 3.4.2, Tenant shall pay the amount of
such
excess to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt
of
such statement by Tenant. If such statement shows such costs to be less than
the
amount paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the preceding subsection 3.4.2,
then the amount of such overpayment by Tenant shall be credited by Landlord
to
the next succeeding installment of Rent payable by Tenant; however, upon
the
expiration or sooner termination of the Term, if Tenant has otherwise complied
with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall refund
the
excess to Tenant within ninety (90) days.
3.5 End
of
Term.
If this
Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year,
the
amount of any adjustment between Estimated and Actual Costs Allocable to
the
Premises and Tenant's Share of Real Property Taxes with respect to the calendar
year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which
the
number of days from commencement of such calendar year to and including such
termination date bears to 365; and any amount payable by Landlord to Tenant
or
Tenant to Landlord with respect to such adjustment shall be payable within
thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the statement of
such
adjustment with respect to such Lease Year.
3.6 Additional

and
after ten (10) days after the due date of any payment of Rent, interest shall
accrue thereon at the rate of the lesser of 1-1/2% per month or the maximum
rate
permitted by law.
3.9 Sales
Tax.
Tenant
shall pay any sales, use, occupancy, value added (if the value added is not
in
lieu of Real Property Taxes as described in Section 3.3) or similar tax now
or
hereafter levied or imposed in connection with the Rent payable by Tenant,

parking
areas which are restricted or designated as driveways, loading area, access
areas, crosswalks, entrance areas, exit areas or in any other manner which

specifically understood and agreed that the Landlord shall not be liable
in any
way for any injury to person or property or loss by theft or damage or otherwise
of said vehicle(s) or the contents thereof or from any other cause whatsoever.
Vehicles may be moved in order to permit Landlord to examine the parking

may deem necessary and reasonably desirable in accordance with and subject
to
the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease.

rules
and regulations including the right to allocate the number of spaces available
to each tenant or occupant of the Building as Landlord may from time to time
adopt on a uniform or nondiscriminatory basis, including the establishment
of
validation systems, barriers or gates, permits and stickers for parking and

an
allocation of parking spaces, Tenant shall be allocated Tenant's Pro Rata
Share
of the parking spaces serving the Building.

shall be solely responsible and shall pay separately for all charges for
fuel,
heat, water, sewer service, refuse collection, gas, electricity, telephone

LANDLORD'S
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.
6.1 Repairs
by Landlord.
Landlord
shall repair, maintain and replace the roof structure, floor structure, exterior
walls and foundations of the Building,
and the
plumbing, electrical and other utility systems serving but which are located
outside of the Premises (excluding, however, repairs to windows, doors, saddles
and plate glass), and the load-bearing walls and load-bearing columns, if
any,
within the Premises, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated hereby
to do
any work required to be done because of any damage caused by any act, omission
or negligence of Tenant and its invitees, licensees, their respective officers,
agents and employees or their customers. Routine
maintenance or repair costs incurred in connection with the maintenance and
repairs described in the preceding sentence shall be considered Common Area
Operating Costs but replacements or repairs of a capital nature (as determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) shall be at
Landlord's cost and expense and shall not be a Common Area Operating Cost.
Landlord
shall not be required to commence any such repair until after notice from
Tenant
that the same is necessary, which notice, except in the case of an emergency,
shall be in writing and shall allow Landlord ten (10) days in which to commence
such repair. When necessary by reason of accident or other cause occurring
in
the Building or in the Premises or in order to make any repairs or alterations
or improvements in or relating to the Building or the Premises, Landlord
reserves the right to interrupt the supply of electricity, water and gas
or any
other utility and also to suspend the operation of the heating and air
conditioning system, where there shall be one installed in the Building,
until
said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. There
shall
be no abatement in Rent because of any such interruption or suspension, however,
Landlord shall pursue such work with reasonable continuity, diligence and
dispatch and in such a manner as to cause a minimum of interference with
Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord shall maintain the landscaping on
the
Building Parcel and periodically paint and repair the exterior surfaces of
the
Building and the cost thereof shall be a Common Area Operating Cost as set
forth
in Section 3.4; provided, however, if Landlord paints the entire Building
during
the Term of this Lease, such costs will be amortized and will not be a one-time
charge. In addition, Landlord, at Landlord's discretion, may clean and maintain
parking areas and entryways if the Tenant fails to keep such areas clean
and in
good condition, and the cost thereof shall be a Common Area Operating Cost
as
set forth in Section 3.4.
6.2
Quiet
Enjoyment.
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent and performing Tenant's
obligations in this Lease, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy
the
Premises throughout the Term without hindrance, ejection or molestation by
any
Person lawfully claiming under Landlord, subject to the other terms and
provisions of this Lease, the Protective Covenants and to all mortgages and
underlying leases of record to which this Lease is or may become subject
and
subordinate.
6.3
Landlord's
Liability.
6.3.1 In
the
event of a sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Building or Building
Parcel or an undivided interest therein, or in the event of the making of
a
lease of all or substantially all of the Building or Building Parcel (an
"Xxxxxxxxx"),
or in
the event of a sale or transfer of the Landlord's fee or leasehold estate
in any
such Xxxxxxxxx, the grantor or transferor, as the case may be, shall thereafter
be entirely relieved of all terms, covenants and obligations thereafter to
be
performed by Landlord under this Lease to the extent of the interest or portion
so sold or transferred, provided that (a) any amount then due and payable
to
Tenant or for which Landlord or the then grantor or transferor would otherwise
then be liable to pay to Tenant (it being understood that the owner of an
undivided interest in the fee or any such Xxxxxxxxx shall be liable only
for his
or its proportionate share of such amount) shall be paid to Tenant, (b) the
interest of the grantor or transferor, as Landlord, in any funds then in
the
hands of Landlord or the then grantor or transferor, in which Tenant has
an
interest, shall be transferred to the then grantee or transferee, and (c)
notice
of such sale, transfer or Xxxxxxxxx, shall be delivered to Tenant. Upon the
termination of any such Xxxxxxxxx, the lessor thereunder shall become and
remain
liable as Landlord hereunder only so long as there shall not be made another
such Xxxxxxxxx.
6.3.2 Tenant
agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in
the
land and buildings comprising the Building and Building Parcel (subject to
prior
rights, if any, of holders of superior interests) for the collection of any
judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord
in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of
the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by
Landlord; and no other assets of Landlord or any Person having any interest
in
Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the
satisfaction of Tenant's remedies.
6.3.3 So
long
as the Trustees Under the Will and of the Estate of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Deceased,
constitute Landlord, subject to Section 6.3.2 above, any liability which
may
arise as a consequence of the execution of this Lease by or on behalf of
the
Landlord shall be a liability of the assets of the Estate of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx
and
not the personal liability of any trustee, corporate officer of a corporate
trustee or employee of the Estate of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx.
7.

make
all repairs, alterations, additions or replacements to the Premises, including

Landlord.
7.1.5 To
pay
promptly when due the entire cost of any work to the Premises, including
equipment, facilities and fixtures therein, undertaken by Tenant, so that
the

indemnify and save Landlord harmless of and from all loss, cost, liability,
damage and expense, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, penalties
and fines, incurred in connection with or arising from (a) any default by
Tenant
in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions
of
this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, or (b) the use or
occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building, the
Building Parcel or the Office Park by Tenant or any Person claiming through
or
under Tenant, or (c) acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any Person
claiming through or under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, servants,
employees, visitors or licensees of Tenant or any Person claiming through
or

or the
Office Park, either prior to or during the Term or any holdover period or
renewal period thereafter, or (d) any claims by any Persons, by reason of
injury
to Persons or damage to property occasioned by any use, occupancy, act, omission
or negligence referred to herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Lease, in the event of the concurrent negligence of Tenant,

that
of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, which concurrent negligence

or maintenance of the Premises or the Building, Tenant's obligation to indemnify
Landlord as set forth in this Lease shall be limited to the extent of Tenant's
negligence and that of Tenant's agents, employees, sublessees, invitees,
licensees or contractors, including Tenant's proportional share of costs
of
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with any action, claim
or
proceeding brought with respect to any injury or damage. The foregoing indemnity
with respect to acts or omissions during the term of this Lease shall survive
termination or expiration of this Lease. As between Landlord and Tenant,
the
foregoing indemnity is specifically and expressly intended to constitute
a
waiver of Tenant's immunity under Washington's Industrial Insurance Act,
RCW
Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide Landlord with a full and complete
indemnity from claims made by Tenant and its employees, to the extent of
their
negligence.
7.1.7 To
pay on
demand any increase in premiums that may be charged on insurance carried

or
employees other than accidents or occurrences against which the Tenant is

the Office Park, including, but not limited to, claims for damage resulting
from: (a) any equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair; (b) injury
done
or occasioned by wind; (c) any defect in or failure of plumbing, heating
or air
conditioning or ventilation equipment, electric wiring or installation thereof,
gas, water, steam or other pipes, stairs, porches, railings or walks; (d)
broken

or
running of any tank, tub, washstand, water closet, waste pipe, drain or any
other pipe or tank in, upon or about the Building or the Premises; (g) the

any act, omission or negligence of other tenants, licensees or of any other
persons or occupants of the Building or Office Park.
7.1.9 To
permit
Landlord and its agents to have access in and about the Premises including,
without limitation, the right to enter the Premises on twenty-four (24) hours

install, use and maintain in concealed locations pipes, ducts and conduits
in
and through the Premises; to exhibit the Premises to others; to make such

have
the right, from time to time, to change the name, number or designation by
which
the Building is commonly known. All parts (except surfaces facing the interior
of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Premises
(including exterior Building walls, core corridor walls, doors and entrances)
and the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises for the
purposes of operation, maintenance, alteration and repair, are hereby reserved
to Landlord.
7.1.10 To
pay on
demand Landlord's expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, at trial
and
on appeal, or in arbitration or mediation, incurred in successfully enforcing
any obligation of the Tenant under this Lease or incurred in any action or
proceeding arising out of or pursuant to this Lease.
7.1.11 To
cause
to be discharged of record by payment and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord from and against all liability and expense arising from any mechanic's
lien at any time filed against the Premises or the Building Parcel for any
work,
labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed at, or furnished
to
the Premises, for or on behalf of Tenant, or anyone holding the Premises
through
or under Tenant. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed as a
consent
on the part of Landlord to subject Landlord's estate in the Premises, the
Building or Build-ing Parcel to any lien or liability under applicable
law.
7.1.12 Upon
the
expiration or other termination of the Term, to quit and surrender the Premises

or
licensees excepted, and at Tenant's expense to remove all property of Tenant
and, at Landlord's option, any alteration, addition and improvement made
by
Tenant and to repair all damages to the Premises caused by such removal and
restore the Premises to the condition in which they were prior to the
installation of the articles so removed. Any improvements or installations
which
are required to be but are not so removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned
by Tenant and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord, as Landlord shall
desire, but Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of restoration of the
Premises and removal and disposal. To the extent Tenant is required to remove
any improvements made by Tenant to the Premises upon the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term, Landlord will notify Tenant of such removal requirement
at the time Landlord approves the installation of any such
improvements.
7.1.13 To
conform to all rules and regulations which Landlord may make for the management
and use of the Premises, requiring such conformance by Tenant and Tenant's
employees, agents, contractors, visitors, servants, or licensees. Such rules
and
regulations shall be uniform and shall not discriminate against
Tenant.
7.1.14 To
comply
with any existing or hereafter-enacted environmental laws, regulations,
administrative acts or rulings, including but not limited to any laws governing
the use, disposal or release of any Hazardous Substance (as defined below),
affecting Tenant's operation at the Premises ("Environmental
Laws").
Tenant shall, at its expense, make all submissions to, provide all information
to, and comply with all requirements of the appropriate Governmental Authority
under the Environmental Laws. In addition, if a Governmental Authority
determines that a cleanup plan be prepared and that a cleanup be undertaken
or
any other action taken because of any spills or discharges of Hazardous
Substances at the Premises which occur during the Term, Tenant shall at its
expense prepare and submit the approved plans. Tenant shall not cause or
permit
any Hazardous Substance to be generated, processed, stored, transported,
handled
or disposed of on, under, in or through the Premises without first obtaining
Landlord's written consent which may be withheld in Landlord's absolute
discretion. As used herein, the term "Hazardous
Substance"
means
any hazardous, toxic or dangerous substances, waste or material, including
any
biological waste, which is or becomes regulated under any federal, state
or
local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other law now or hereafter
in
effect pertaining to environmental protection, contamination or cleanup,
including without limitation any substance, waste or material which now or
hereafter is designated as a "Hazardous Substance" under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9601,
et
seq.),
or
under the Model Toxics Control Act (Revised Code of Washington § 70.105D);
without limiting the foregoing, Hazardous Substances shall include, but not
be
limited to, any substance which after being released into the environment
and
upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation, or assimilation, either directly from
the
environment or indirectly by ingestion through food chains, will or may
reasonably be anticipated to cause death, disease, behavior abnormalities,
cancer and/or genetic abnormalities. Tenant's
obligations under this subsection 7.1.14 shall arise if there is any closing,
terminating or transferring of operations of an industrial establishment
at the
Premises pursuant to the Cleanup Laws.
At no
expense to Landlord, Tenant shall promptly provide all information requested
by
Landlord for preparation of affidavits required by Landlord to determine
the
applicability of the Environmental Laws to the Premises, and shall sign the
affidavits promptly when requested to do so by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Landlord from all fines, suits, procedures, claims,
actions costs or liabilities of any kind arising out of or in any way connected
with any spills or discharges of Hazardous Substances or wastes by Tenant
at the
Premises that occur during the Term, including without limitation, a decrease
in
the value of the Premises, damages due to loss or restriction of rentable
or
usable space, or any damages due to adverse impacts or marketing of space,
any
and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant and
expert fees, or any costs arising out of Tenant's failure to provide all
information, make all submissions and take all steps required by a Governmental
Authority under the Environmental Laws or any other environmental laws or
regulations. Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this paragraph shall
survive termination or sooner expiration of this Lease. Tenant's failure
to
abide by the terms of this subsection 7.1.14 shall be restrainable by
injunction.
7.1.15 Tenant
shall, prior to handling, processing, transporting, storing or disposing
of any
Hazardous Substance within the Premises (including, without limitation, any
foam
or any other material described in Material Safety Data Sheets to be used
within
the Premises) deliver to Landlord a plan describing such Hazardous Substances
and Tenant's procedures for handling, processing, transporting, storing and
disposing of each such Hazardous Substance ("Tenant's
Plan").
Tenant's Plan shall also describe how Tenant will assure compliance with
all
Environmental Laws with respect to such Hazardous Substances. Tenant's Plan
must
be prepared by a person or environmental consulting firm with experience
and
sufficient expertise in Environmental Laws related to the Hazardous Substances
described in Tenant's Plan. Tenant shall not handle, process, transport,
store
or dispose of any Hazardous Substance within the Premises until Landlord
and
Landlord's insurer have approved Tenant's Plan. Tenant shall make such
reasonable revisions to Tenant's Plan as are required by Landlord or Landlord's
insurer. Any permitted assignee or sublessee under this Lease will be required
to deliver to Landlord for Landlord's approval a similar plan before any
such
assignee or sublessee may handle, process, transport, store or dispose of
any
Hazardous Substance within the Premise.
7.2
Negative
Covenants.
Tenant
covenants at all times during the Term and such further time as Tenant occupies
the Premises or any part thereof:
7.2.1 Not
to
make or perform, or permit the making or performance of, any alterations,
subdivisions, installations, decorations, improvements, additions or other
physical changes in or about the Premises including those which are necessary
to
satisfy any Governmental Requirements (referred to collectively as "alterations")
without Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord agrees not unreasonably
to
withhold its consent to any interior nonstructural alterations which do not
adversely affect the Building's utility and mechanical systems proposed to
be
made by Tenant to adapt the Premises for Tenant's business purposes. Alterations
shall be made only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord. All
business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained
by
Tenant in settings sufficient, in Landlord's judgment, to absorb and prevent
vibration, noise and annoyance to other tenants or occupants of the Office
Park.
Tenant shall submit to Landlord detailed plans and specifications for each
proposed alteration and shall not commence any such alteration without first
obtaining Landlord's approval of such plans and specifications; all reports,
and
all permits, approvals and certificates required by all Governmental Authorities
shall be timely obtained by Tenant and submitted to Landlord; all materials
and
equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of all alterations
shall be new and first quality; no such materials or equipment shall be subject
to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage or title retention or security
agreement. In the event cost of an alteration exceeds the amount of three
(3)
monthly installments of Fixed Rent, Landlord shall have the right to require
that Tenant obtain performance and payment bonds from such surety companies
and
in such forms as Landlord shall require in amounts at least equal to the
cost of
the proposed work.
7.2.2 Not
to
assign, sell, mortgage, pledge, or in any manner, voluntarily or involuntarily,
transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or any interest therein, or
sublet
the Premises or parts thereof or grant any license or concession, without
Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4. A transfer or change
in the owners of Tenant's stock or a change in the composition of any
noncorporate Tenant shall, unless such stock is publicly traded, be deemed
an
assignment. Consent by Landlord to an assignment, subletting, concession
or
license shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express
consent of Landlord to any further assignment, subletting, concession or
license, nor shall the collection of Rent by Landlord from any assignee,
subtenant or other occupant be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the
acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant or a release
of
Tenant from the covenants in this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.
Tenant
and any assignee or subtenant shall be jointly and severally liable for the
obligations under this Lease.
7.2.3 NOT
TO
AFFIX ANY SIGN TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE PREMISES OR ITS WINDOWS (OR WITHIN
THE
PREMISES IF SUCH SIGN CAN BE SEEN OUTSIDE THE PREMISES), OR TO ANY PART OF
THE
COMMON AREA OR THE BUILDING; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TENANT MAY PLACE ITS
CORPORATE NAME AND LOGO ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING SO LONG AS (A) THE
SIGN
HAS BEEN APPROVED BY LANDLORD,
AND (B)
THE SIGNAGE MEETS ALL LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
7.2.4 Not
to
obstruct or encumber or use the Common Areas for any purpose other than ingress
and egress to and from the Premises. Tenant shall not bring or keep or permit
to
be brought or kept, any inflammable, combustible or explosive fluid, material,
chemical or substance in or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or
allow
to be committed any waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisance
or other act or thing which disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant
in
the Building or the Office Park. If any of Tenant's machines or equipment
should
disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building, then Tenant
shall provide adequate insulation, or take such other action as may be necessary
to eliminate the disturbance.
8. DESTRUCTION:
CONDEMNATION; INSURANCE.
8.1
Damage
or Destruction.
8.1.1 Damage
and Repair.
In case
of damage to the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, Tenant
shall give immediate notice to Landlord. If the Building is damaged by fire
or
any other cause to such extent that the cost of restoration, as reasonably
estimated by Landlord, will equal or exceed 30% of the replacement value
of the
Building (exclusive of foundations) just prior to the occurrence of the damage,
or if insurance proceeds sufficient for restoration are for any reason
unavailable, then Landlord may no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following
the damage, give Tenant a notice of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease.
In the event of such an election, this Lease shall be deemed to terminate
on the
third (3rd) day after the giving of said notice, Tenant shall surrender
possession of the Premises within a reasonable time thereafter, and the Rent
shall be apportioned as of the date of said surrender and any Rent paid for
any
period beyond said date shall be repaid to Tenant. If the cost of restoration
as
estimated by Landlord shall amount to less than 30% of such replacement value
of
the Building and insurance proceeds sufficient for restoration are available,
or
if despite the cost Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord
shall restore the Building and the Premises (to the extent of improvements
to
the Premises originally provided by Landlord hereunder) with reasonable
promptness, subject to delays beyond Landlord's control and delays in the
making
of insurance adjustments by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease except as herein provided. To the extent that the Premises
are rendered untenantable, the Rent shall proportionately xxxxx, except in
the
event such damage resulted from or was contributed to, directly, or indirectly,
by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant's contractors, agents, employees,
invitees or licensees, in which event Rent shall xxxxx only to the extent
Landlord receives proceeds from Landlord's rental income insurance policy
to
compensate Landlord for loss of rent.
If
the
Premises are not restored as described above by that date which is nine (9)
months from the date of the casualty, then, unless Tenant has been relocated
as
set forth below, Tenant will have the right to terminate this Lease by giving
Landlord written notice of such termination no later than ten (10) days after
the expiration of the nine month period. If Tenant fails to give such notice
within the ten day period, this Lease will continue in full force and effect.
If
the Premises cannot be restored as described above within the nine month
period
described above, Landlord may, at its sole option and expense, elect to relocate
Tenant prior to the expiration of the nine month period to a reasonable
comparable space in the vicinity of the Building mutually agreed to between
Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord elects to so relocate Tenant, Landlord will
provide Tenant written notice describing the relocation space for Tenant’s
approval. Tenant will not unreasonably withhold its approval. Tenant will
respond to Landlord’s notice by providing either its approval of the space or
its disapproval, with Tenant’s reasons for such disapproval, within ten (10)
days after Landlord’s notice. If Tenant fails to respond within the ten day
period, Tenant will be deemed to have approved the relocation space. If Landlord
relocates Tenant in accordance with this paragraph, then Tenant will not
have
the right to terminate the Lease under this Section 8.1.1, and this Lease
will
continue in full force and effect.
8.1.2 Business
Interruption.
No
damages, compensations or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience,
loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any
portion of the Premises or of the Building. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to effect such repairs promptly.
8.1.3 Tenant
Improvements.
Tenant
acknowledges Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on any improvements
paid for by Tenant or on Tenant's furniture or furnishings or on any fixtures,
equipment, personal property, inventory, improvements or appurtenances of
Tenant
under this Lease and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage
thereto or replace the same.
8.2
Eminent
Domain.
8.2.1 Entire
Taking.
If all
of the Premises or such portions of the Building as may be required for the
reasonable use of the Premises, are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall
automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority
and all Rents, Additional Rents and other payments shall be paid to that
date.
8.2.2 Constructive
Taking of Entire Premises.
In the
event of a taking of a material part but less than all of the Building, where
Landlord shall reasonably determine that the remaining portions of the Premises
cannot be economically and effectively used by it (whether on account of
physical, economic, aesthetic or other reasons), Landlord shall forward a
written notice to Tenant of such determination not more than sixty (60) days
after the date of taking. The term of this Lease shall expire upon such date
as
Landlord shall specify in such notice but not earlier than sixty (60) days
after
the date of such notice.
8.2.3 Partial
Taking.
In case
of taking of a part of the Premises, or a portion of the Building not required
for the reasonable use of the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in
full
force and effect and the Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion
by which the floor area of the Premises is reduced, such Rent reduction to
be
effective as of the date title to such portion vests in the condemning
authority.
8.2.4 Termination
by Landlord.
In the
event that title to a part of the Building other than the Premises shall
be so
condemned or taken and if, in the opinion of the Landlord, the Building should
be restored in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, the Landlord
may
terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted by notifying
the
Tenant of such termination within sixty (60) days following the date of vesting
of title, and this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire
on
the date specified in the notice of termination, not less than sixty (60)
days
after the giving of such notice, as fully and completely as if such date
were
the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the term of this Lease, and
the
Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date.
8.2.5 Awards
and Damages.
Landlord reserves all rights to damages to the Premises for any partial,
constructive, or entire taking by eminent domain, and Tenant hereby assigns
to
Landlord any right Tenant may have to such damages or award, and Tenant shall
make no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages for
termination of the leasehold interest or the value of such leasehold interest
or
interference with Tenant's business. Tenant shall have the right, however,
to
claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation for any loss
to
which Tenant may be put for Tenant's moving expenses, business interruption
or
taking of Tenant's personal property (not including Tenant's leasehold interest)
provided that such damages may be claimed only if they are awarded separately
in
the eminent domain proceedings and not out of or as part of the damages
recoverable by Landlord.
9. INSURANCE.
9.1
Tenant's
Insurance.
Tenant
hereby agrees to maintain in full force and effect at all times during the
Term
and at Tenant's cost and expense, the policies of insurance described in
this
Section 9.1.
9.1.1 A
policy
or policies of hazard insurance insuring all Tenant's personal property,
improvements and fixtures, existing in the Premises on the Commencement Date
or
at any time thereafter, against all of the risks covered by a standard "special
causes of loss" endorsement. Such insurance shall be in an amount equal to
the
lesser of the replacement cost or full insurable value of such personal
property, improvements and fixtures. The amount of any deductibles must be
reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
9.1.2 A
policy
or policies of "commercial general liability", or a combination of "commercial
general liability" and "umbrella or excess liability" insurance naming Landlord
(and any mortgagee of Landlord and any lessor under an Xxxxxxxxx) as an
additional insured thereunder, with combined single limits of not less than
$3,000,000 and with deductibles reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The liability
insurance required hereunder shall cover all of Tenant's operations and
contingent liability of Tenant for all operations performed at the Premises
on
Tenant's behalf by Tenant's contractors or subcontractors and shall specifically
include products/completed operations liability, contractual liability, fire
damage liability, and medical payments and shall provide that Tenant's employees
are covered by such insurance. The liability coverage required hereunder
shall
state that Tenant's insurance applies separately to each named insured against
whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits
of
the insurer's liability.
9.1.3 A
policy
or policies of "worker's compensation" insurance with minimum limits as required
by the Washington Labor and Industrial Relations Statutes, and the rules
and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and policy or policies of "employer's
liability".
9.1.4 A
policy
or policies of "business interruption insurance" covering those risks referred
to in Section 9.1.1 in an amount not less than the Base Rent and Additional
Rent
for a period of not less than twelve (12) months commencing with the date
of the
loss.
9.1.5 Each
policy of insurance required under this Section 9.1 shall (a) provide that
the
liability of the insurer thereunder shall not be affected by, and that the
insurer shall not claim any right of setoff, counterclaim, apportionment,
proration or contribution by reason of any other insurance obtained by or
for
Landlord, Tenant, or any person claiming by, through or under any of them;
(b)
provide that such policy may not be canceled, whether or not requested by
Tenant, except upon the insurer giving at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice thereof to Landlord, Tenant and every mortgagee of any interest in
the
Premises (as such mortgagees are identified by Landlord to Tenant); (c) be
written by an insurance company with a current AM Best Company rating of
A-XII
or better; and (d) be written as primary policies, not contributing with
and not
in excess of any coverage that Landlord may carry. If any insurance required
of
Tenant under this Lease becomes exhausted as a result of claim payments or
is
canceled or non-renewed or becomes null and void for any reason, Landlord
reserves the right but shall not be obligated to replace or reinstate such
insurance for the protection of Landlord's interest and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord within twenty (20) days of demand for any and all expenses incurred
as
a result of such reinstatement or replacement of Tenant's insurance. Landlord
makes no representation that the limits of liability specified to be carried
by
Tenant under the terms of this Lease are adequate to protect Tenant against
Tenant's undertakings under this Section 9.1, and if Tenant believes any
such
insurance coverage called for under this Lease is insufficient, Tenant shall
provide, at its own expense, such additional insurance as Tenant deems adequate.
On or prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter within twenty (20) days
following a request from Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord current
certificates of insurance issued by the insurance carriers or the insurance
brokers certifying that all insurance required of Tenant under this Section
9.1
is in effect. If requested by Landlord in writing, Tenant also shall deposit
current copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements. Landlord
shall have the right to periodically require Tenant to increase the liability
limits, change the coverages and the scope of the risks covered by the insurance
policies required of Tenant hereunder to such higher levels, such other
coverages or such broader scope of risks as Landlord may from time to time
reasonably specify; provided, however, that such changes will not impose
insurance obligations on Tenant greater than the obligations generally being
required of similarly situated tenants of similar properties in the vicinity
of
the Building at the time such changes are required.
9.2 Landlord's
Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain, with insurance companies qualified to do business
in
the State of Washington, such property, rental insurance, commercial general
liability insurance and other insurance coverages as Landlord deems prudent
and
in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord deems appropriate.
If
Landlord shall so elect, Landlord may self insure in whole or part any of
the
foregoing coverages. The premiums for said policy or policies, or, if a policy
is part of a blanket policy, the amount of the premium (including any amount
for
the waiver of subrogation set forth below) allocable to the Building, or,
if
Landlord shall self insure in whole or part, premiums which would be
attributable to the self-insured portion, shall be a Common Area Operating
Cost
as set forth in Section 3.4. The proceeds of said insurance shall be adjusted
by
and payable solely to Landlord or its lenders.
9.3 Waiver
of Subrogation.
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any and every claim which arises or may
arise
in its favor and against the other party during the Term or any extension
or
renewals thereof, for any and all losses resulting from the peril of fire
to any
of its property located within or upon, or constituting part of the Premises,
which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies,
to
the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such policies. Said
mutual waiver shall be an addition to, and not in limitation or derogation
of,
any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss
or
damage to property of the parties hereto. Insomuch as said waivers will preclude
the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise)
to an
insurance company (or any other person) each party agrees, if not previously
arranged with its insurance company, immediately to give to each insurance
company which has issued to it policies of property insurance covering the
peril
of fire, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have
such
insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary to prevent the invalidation
of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers.
10.
DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES.
10.1 Default.
The
occurrence at any time prior to or during the Term of any one or more of
the
following events (the "Events
of Default")
shall
constitute a default under this Lease:
10.1.1 If
Tenant
shall default in the payment when due of any installment of Rent;
or
10.1.2 If
Tenant
shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or
condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed (other
than
covenants for the payment of Rent; or
With
respect to a default under subsection 10.1.1 above, Tenant shall ten (10)
days
after written notice of the Event of Default to remedy or cure its default.
With
respect to an Event of Default under subsection 10.1.2 above, Tenant shall
have
twenty (20) days after a written notice from Landlord to remedy or cure the
default; however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within such twenty
(20) day period, and Tenant commences the cure within the twenty (20) day
period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion in good
faith, said twenty (20) day period shall be extended for such period of time
as
is reasonably necessary for Tenant to cure the default, but in no event more
than an additional sixty (60) days. The foregoing notice and cure period
shall
be inclusive of and not in addition to the notices and cure periods provided
for
in RCW 59.12, as now or hereafter amended, or any legislation in lieu or
substitution thereof.
10.2 Remedies.
If an
Event of Default occurs and Tenant fails to cure the default within the
applicable cure period, if any, Landlord shall have the following rights
and
remedies, at its option, which shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and
which
shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights or remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity, or elsewhere in this Lease: (i)
to
declare the Lease Term ended and reenter the Premises and take possession
thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further
claim
thereon or hereunder; (ii) to cure such default on Tenant's behalf and at
Tenant's cost and expense and charge Tenant as Additional Rent for all costs
and
expenses incurred by Landlord in effecting the cure; (iii) without declaring
this Lease terminated, to reenter the Premises and occupy the whole or any
part
thereof for and on account of Tenant and collect any unpaid rentals and other
charges, which have become payable, or which may thereafter become payable;
(iv)
even though it may have reentered the Premises, to thereafter elect to terminate
this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises.
10.2.1 Reentry.
If
Landlord reenters the Premises under option (iii) of Section 10.2, Landlord
shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant
to
pay any Rent thereafter accruing as it becomes due, or to have terminated
Tenant's liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any
such
reentry or by any action, in unlawful detainer or otherwise, to obtain
possession of the Premises, unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in
writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease, and Tenant shall
be
liable for and reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses
of
every kind and nature incurred in retaking possession of the Premises and
all
other losses suffered by Landlord as a consequence of Tenant's default. In
the
event of any entry or taking possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have
the
right, but not the obligation, to remove therefrom all or any part of the
personal property located therein and may place the same in storage at a
public
warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant.
10.2.2 Termination.
If
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of options
(i) or (iv) of Section 10.2, Landlord may recover from Tenant as damages,
the
following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had
been
earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of
award
of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time
of
award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term
after
the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves
could
be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to
perform
its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would
be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to, any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises, including
reasonable attorneys' fees therefor; maintaining or preserving the Premises
after such default; preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant,
including repairs or alterations to the Premises for such reletting; leasing
commissions; and any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises;
and (v) such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as
may be
permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of Washington. As used
in
items (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.2.2, the "worth at the time of award"
shall be computed by allowing interest at the interest rate specified in
Section
3.8 of this Lease. As used in item (iii) above, the "worth at the time of
award"
shall be computed by using the then applicable discount rate quoted by the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or its successor.
10.2.3 Re-letting
the Premises.
At the
option of Landlord: (i) the Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up
to
the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or termination; (ii) Landlord may
relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord
or otherwise, for a term which may at Landlord's option be less than or exceed
the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term,
and
may grant reasonable concessions of free rent; and (iii) Tenant or the legal
representative of Tenant shall also pay Landlord, as damages for the failure
of
Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant's covenants herein contained, for
each
month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the
Term, any deficiency between (x) the sum of (a) one monthly installment of
Fixed
Rent, (b) the Tax Rent that would have been payable for the month in question
but for such reentry or termination, and (c) the current monthly minimum
Common
Area Rent, and (y) the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account
of
the lease or leases of the Premises for each month of the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term. The reasonable refusal
or
failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part of parts thereof shall
not
release or affect Tenant's liability for damages provided Landlord shall
have
made the same effort and on the same terms to relet the Premises as with
respect
to other vacant space in the Office Park, however, Landlord shall not be
required to prefer the reletting of the Premises over any other space in
the
Office Park. In computing such damages there shall be added to the said
deficiency such reasonable expenses as Landlord' may incur in connection
with
reletting, such as court costs, attorneys fees and disbursements, brokerage
and
for the expenses of putting and keeping the Premises in good order or for
preparing the same for reletting as hereinafter provided. Any such damages
shall
be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent day specified in this
Lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any
month
shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency
for any subsequent or prior month by a similar proceeding. Landlord, at
Landlord's option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or
decorations in the Premises as Landlord in Landlord's sole judgment considers
advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises for the
purpose of reletting the Premises to another user of warehouse space; and
the
making of such alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed
to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Except as expressly
provided herein, Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever
for
failure to relet the Premises, or in the event that the Premises are relet,
for
failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting.
10.2.4 Appointment
of Receiver.
If an
Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver
appointed to collect rent. Neither the filing of a petition for appointment
of a
receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord
to
terminate this Lease.
10.2.5 Waiver
of Redemption Rights.
Tenant,
for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under
it,
including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right
and
privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any
present
or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease
for
the term hereof, as it may have been extended, after having been dispossessed
or
ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after
the termination of this Lease as herein provided.
10.3
Trial
by Jury; Counterclaim.
Landlord and Tenant shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against
the
other on any matters not relating to personal injury or property damage but
otherwise arising out of or in anyway connected with this Lease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises,
and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy.
10.4 Holdover
by Tenant.
In the
event Tenant remains in possession of any portion of the Premises after the
expiration of the Term as to such portion and without the execution of a
new
lease, Tenant, at the option of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying
such
portion of the Premises as a tenant from month to month, at a monthly rental
equal to the sum of (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly
installment of Fixed Rent payable during the last month of the Term, (b)
the
monthly installment of Tax Rent payable for the last month of the Term, and
(c)
the Common Area Rent payable for such month, subject to all the other
conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same
are
applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Tenant shall not and hereby waives
the
right to interpose any counterclaim or counterclaims in a summary proceeding
or
other action by Landlord based on holdover.
10.5
Landlord's
Right To Cure Defaults.
Landlord may cure, after notice of default is served, any default by Tenant
under this Lease; and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in curing a default, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest on the amount of costs
and
expenses so incurred at the rate provided in Section 3.8 hereof, shall be
paid
by Tenant to Landlord on demand, and shall be recoverable as Additional
Rent.
10.6 Waiver
of Default.
No
consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any
breach
of any covenant, condition or duty of the other shall be construed as a consent
or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition
or duty of Tenant, unless in writing signed by the party against whom waiver
is
sought.
11.
ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING.
After
completion of the Tenant Improvements, the payment of any amounts for Tenant
Improvements, and the taking of the Premises for occupancy, and so long as
no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may, in writing,
request
Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of all
(but
not less than all) of the Premises. Such request shall include the name of
the
proposed assignee or subtenant, a copy of the proposed agreements and
instruments relating to the transaction, certi-fied financial statements
of the
proposed assignee or subtenant and its officers, directors and stockholders,
and
such information as to the financial responsibility, business and standing
of
the proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably require.
11.1 Right
to Cancel.
Upon
the receipt by Landlord of a request from Tenant to sublet or assign, and
the
information from Tenant described above, Landlord shall have the right, to
be
exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after such receipt, to cancel
and
terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice of exercise
of such option, which effective date of termination in Landlord's notice
shall
be not less than sixty (60) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days
following the service of such notice. If Landlord shall exercise such
cancellation right, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, on
the
date set forth in such notice in accordance with the provisions of this Lease
relating to surrender of the Premises at the expiration of the Term. In no
event
shall the Premises be subdivided or partially sublet.
11.2 Consent
Required.
If
Landlord shall not exercise its right to cancel this Lease as provided in
Section 11.1, Landlord's consent to such request shall not be unreasonably
withheld provided such consent to sublease or assignment is effected by a
legal
document in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and Section 11.3
below
shall apply with respect to a possible adjustment of Rent. In no event shall
any
assignment or subletting to which Landlord may have consented release or
relieve
Tenant from its obligations fully to perform all of the terms, covenants
and
conditions of the Lease on its part to be performed. In determining whether
to
consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may consider any
commercially reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the proposed
assignment or subletting, including without limitation any of the following:
(i)
the business experience or reputation of the proposed assignee or sublessee,
(ii) whether the clientele, personnel, or traffic which will be generated
by the
business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is consistent in Landlord's
opinion with the businesses of other tenants in the Building and the Office
Park; (iii) notwithstanding that Tenant or others may remain liable under
this
Lease, whether the proposed assignee or sublessee has a net worth and financial
strength and a credit record satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) whether the use
of
the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will be substantially
the
same as the use of the Premises by Tenant, and whether such use is consistent
with the businesses of other tenants then occupying the Office Park, and
whether
such use will violate or create a potential violation of any laws or a breach
or
violation of any other lease or agreement by which Landlord is bound; (v)
whether the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee
will increase the likelihood of damage or destruction to the Premises or
the
Building, be likely to cause an increase in insurance premiums for insurance
policies applicable to the Building, require new tenant improvements
incompatible with the then existing Building systems and components, and
otherwise have or cause a material adverse impact on the Premises, the Building,
the Office Park or Landlord's interests therein; (vi) whether the proposed
assignee or sublessee is an existing tenant or occupant of the Building or
the
Office Park or a person or entity with whom Landlord is then dealing, or
with
whom Landlord has had dealings during the previous six (6) months with respect
to leasing of space in the Office Park; and (vii) whether any ground lessor
or
mortgagee whose consent to such transfer as required has so consented to
the
proposed transaction.
11.3 Adjustment
to Rent.
If
under the assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord the rent, additional
rent, other charges, and/or consideration, money or thing of value payable
thereunder or payable in connection with the transaction exceed the Rent
provided in this Lease, Tenant or, at Landlord's option, the sublessee or
assignee shall pay said excess rent or other consideration to Landlord as
Additional Rent hereunder as and when the same becomes due under said assignment
or sublease.
11.4 Permitted
Transfers.
Notwithstanding the prohibition set forth in Section 7.2.2, if Tenant is
a
corporation, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord,
to
assign its interest in this Lease to a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
Tenant
or any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or
consolidation, or in connection with the transfer of all of the business
and
assets of the Tenant or a public offering of Tenant's stock provided that
the
successor shall have a tangible net worth, determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, at least equal to the tangible
net
worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease. However, no such assignment
shall
be valid unless, within ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof
Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord (1) a duplicate original instrument of assignment
in
form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, (2)
an
instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed
by the
assignee, in which such assignee shall assume observance and performance
of and
to be personally bound by, all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
on
Tenant's part to be observed and performed, and (3) evidence of compliance
with
the conditions of this paragraph.

customary in connection with such subordination agreements.
12.4 Applicable
Law and Construction.
The
laws of the State of Washington shall govern the validity, performance and
enforcement of this Lease. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
of this Lease shall not affect or impair any other provision. The submission
of
this document to Tenant for examination does not constitute an offer to lease,
or a reservation of or option to lease, and becomes effective only upon
execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant. All negotiations,
considerations, representations and understandings between the parties are
incorporated in this Lease. Landlord or Landlord's agents have made no
representations or promises with respect to the Building, the Office Park
or the
Premises, except as herein expressly set forth. The headings of the several
articles and sections contained herein are for convenience only and do not
define, limit or construe the contents of such articles or sections. Whenever
herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and
the
neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.
12.5 Relationship
of the Parties.
Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, or by
any
third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or partnership
or joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed
that
no provisions herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed
to
create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship
of landlord and tenant.
12.6 Construction
on Adjacent Premises or Buildings.
If any
excavation or other building construction shall be about to be made or shall
be
made on any premises adjoining or above or below the Premises or on any other
portion of the Building, Tenant shall permit Landlord or the adjoining owner,
and their respective agents, employees, licensees and contractors, to enter
the
Premises and to shore the foundations and/or walls thereof, and to erect
scaffolding and/or protective barricades around and about the Premises (but
not
so as to preclude entry thereto) and to do any act or thing necessary for
the
safety or preservation of the Premises. Tenant's obligations under this Lease
shall not be affected by any such construction or excavation work, shoring-up,
scaffolding or barricading. Landlord shall not be liable in any such case
for
any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business or any other annoyance arising
from any such construction, excavation, shoring-up, scaffolding or barricades,
but Landlord shall use its best efforts so that such work will cause as little
inconvenience, annoyance and disturbance to Tenant as possible consistent
with
accepted construction practice in the vicinity and so that such work shall
be
expeditiously completed and will not materially and adversely affect the
operation of Tenant's business within the Premises.
12.7 Recording.
Tenant
agrees not to record this Lease.
12.8 Binding
Effect of Lease.
The
covenants, agreements and obligations herein contained, except as herein
otherwise specifically provided shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, heirs,
successors and permitted assigns. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or
other
provision herein contained shall be deemed and construed as a separate and
independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same,
not
dependent on any other provision of this Lease unless otherwise expressly
provided.
12.9 Effect
of Unavoidable Delays.
The
provisions of this section shall be applicable if there shall occur, during
the
Term, or prior to the commencement thereof, any (a) strike(s), lockout(s)
or labor dispute(s); (b) inability to obtain labor or materials, or reasonable
substitutes therefor; or (c) acts of God, governmental restrictions, regulations
or controls, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire
or
other casualty, or (d) other conditions similar or dissimilar to those
enumerated in this item beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated
to
perform. If Landlord or Tenant shall, as the result of any of the
above-described events, fail punctually to perform any obligation on its
part to
be performed under this Lease, then such failure shall be excused and not
be a
breach of this Lease by the party in question, but only to the extent occasioned
by such event. If any right or option of either party to take any action
under
or with respect to this Lease is conditioned upon the same being exercised
within any prescribed period of time or at or before a named date, then such
prescribed period of time and such named date shall be deemed to be extended
or
delayed, as the case may be, for a period equal to the period of delay
occasioned by any above-described event. Notwithstanding anything herein
contained however, the provisions of this section shall not be applicable
to
Tenant's obligations to timely pay Rent or its obligations to pay any other
sums, moneys, costs, charges or expenses required to be paid by Tenant hereunder
and time shall be of the essence with respect to timely payment
thereof.
12.10 No
Oral Changes.
Neither
this Lease nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination
is
sought.
12.11 Executed
Counterparts of Lease.
This
Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such
counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all
such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Lease.
12.12 Invalid
Provisions.
If any
provision of this Lease is held unlawful or invalid, then this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect but such unlawful or invalid provision
shall
be deemed omitted. If any portion of Rent shall at any time be held to be
higher
than the amount which the Landlord may lawfully reserve then the amount thereof
shall be reduced to the highest lawful amount.
12.13 Entire
Agreement.
This
Lease is the final and complete expression of Landlord and Tenant relating
in
any manner to the leasing, use and occupancy of the Premises, to Tenant's
use of
the Building and other matters set forth in this Lease. No prior agreement
or
understanding pertaining to the same shall be valid or of any force or
effect.
12.14 Attorneys'
Fees.
If a
lawsuit or other legal proceeding is brought to enforce or interpret the
terms
of this Lease, the substantially prevailing party therein will be entitled
to
recover from the other party, the substantially prevailing party's reasonable
attorneys' fees, witness fees and other court costs incurred in connection
with
such proceeding.
12.15 Transportation
Management Program; Recycling.
Tenant
shall cooperate with Landlord in meeting the objectives and complying with
the
terms and conditions of any transportation management plan now or hereafter
instituted by any Governmental Authority and applicable to the Building or
the
Office Park. In addition, Tenant will cooperate with and participate in any
and
all recycling programs now or hereafter in place with respect to the Building
or
the Office Park, whether or not governmentally mandated, if substantially
all of
the tenants of the Building or the Office Park, as applicable, are requested

13.
RIGHT
TO TERMINATE EARLY.
So
long
as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice
or cure period, Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the end of
the
fortieth (40th) full calendar month of the Lease Term by giving Landlord
at
least two hundred seventy (270) days advance written notice. If Tenant elects
to
terminate this Lease pursuant this Section 13, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
at
the time Tenant delivers such notice, the unamortized balance of "Landlord's
Costs" (defined below). The term "Landlord's
Costs"
means
the sum of (1) the real estate fees and commissions paid by Landlord in
connection with this Lease, and (2) Fixed Rent in the amount of $48,000,
representing the free rent granted to Tenant during the fourth through the
seventh months of the Lease Term.
