At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which received (or, if altered, then the Premises shall be returned in such altered condition unless otherwise directed by Landlord under terms of Section 12), reasonable wear and tear excepted. Prior to such return, Tenant shall remove its trade fixtures and appliances and equipment which have not been attached to the Premises, and shall restore the Premises to the condition they were in prior to the installation of said items. In no event shall Tenant remove floor coverings; heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment; lighting equipment or fixtures; wall coverings, window coverings; or other operating equipment or decorations unless specifically otherwise directed by Landlord in writing. Tenant’s obligation to perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for all damages and losses suffered as a result of Tenant’s failure to so redeliver the Premises on a timely basis.
15. Waiver, Indemnity. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to any person (including death), or for any loss of or damage to any property (including property of Tenant) occurring in or about
8
the Premises, except for damages and/or injury arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct or Landlord or Landlord’s agents. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord, its officers, agents, employees and contractors, and other tenants and occupants of the Building harmless from all losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, claims and expenses (including Landlords personnel and overhead costs and attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with such claims, regardless of whether such claims involve litigation) resulting from any actual or alleged injury (including death) to any persons or entity or from any actual or alleged loss of or damage to any property alleged to be attributable to (i) Tenants operation or occupation of the Premises; (ii) Tenant’s breach of its obligations hereunder or applicable law, or (iii) any act or omission of Tenant or any licensee, assignee or concessionaire of Tenant, or of any officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of Tenant, or of any such person or entity in or about the Premises. Tenant agrees that the foregoing indemnity specifically covers actions brought by its own employees and agrees the foregoing expressly constitutes a waiver or Tenant’s immunity under the Washington Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide Landlord with the full and complete indemnity from claims made by Tenant and its employees, to the extent of their negligence. The indemnification provided for in this Section with respect to acts or omissions during the term of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for interference with light, air or view or for any latent defect in the Premises. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of casualties or accidents occurring in or about the Premises.
16. Insurance. Tenant shall, at its own expense, maintain comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance with broad form and stop gap endorsements with combined single limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual aggregate for property damage and loss and for personal injuries (including death), to indemnify both Landlord and Tenant against claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses. Landlord shall have the right to periodically review the appropriateness of such limits in view of inflation and/or changing industry conditions and to require an increase in such limits upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Landlord and any lender designated in writing by Landlord (“Lender”) shall be named as additional insureds and shall be furnished with a copy of such policy or policies of insurance which shall bear an endorsement that the same shall not be canceled or materially altered without thirty (30) days prior written notice to such additional insureds. During the Lease term, Tenant shall also maintain at its own expense insurance covering its furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory and all improvements which it makes to the Premises in an amount equal to the full insurable value thereof, against fire and such other perils as are covered by an all risk policy with plate glass endorsement, including all glass on the Premises. All insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall (a) be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Washington and having a financial rating of at least A, Class X status, as rated in the most recent edition of Best’s Insurance Reports, or with companies otherwise acceptable to Landlord; (b) be issued as a primary policy, or under the blanket policy, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry, and (c) in the case of the liability policy, contain a blanket contractual liability coverage endorsement covering Tenant’s indemnification duty. If Tenant fails to maintain such insurance, Landlord may do so, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the full expense thereof upon demand. Tenant shall not keep or use in or about the Premises any article which is prohibited by Landlord’s insurance policy. Tenant shall pay immediately any increase in Landlord’s premiums for insurance during the term or this Lease which results from Tenant’s use of the Premises.
17. Waiver of Subrogation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other party or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage to any building, structure or tangible personal property of the other occurring in or about the Premises, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees, if such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage or was required to be covered by insurance under terms of this Lease. Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to contain the waiver of subrogation clause.
18. Assignment or Sublease. Tenant shall not sublet or encumber the whole or any part of the Premises, nor shall this Lease or any interest thereunder be assignable or transferable by operation of law or by any process or proceeding of any court or otherwise without the prior written consent of Landlord. As a material inducement to Landlord to execute and deliver this Lease, Tenant agrees it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease if Landlord determines that any one or more, or the following applies (without
9
limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent): (a) Landlord is not reasonably assured that the proposed transferee will fully, completely and promptly perform all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (b) the transferee proposes to use the Premises for any purpose other than the permitted uses under this Lease, (c) the proposed transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of any other lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party or would give any occupant of the Building either the right to cancel its lease or to make a claim against Landlord, (d) the proposed transferee fails to deliver to Landlord its written assumption for all of the obligations to be performed by Tenant under the Lease in connection with the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed transferee, (e) if Tenant and all guarantors will not continue to remain liable on this lease or (f) the proposed transferee’s operating experience or reputation arc inconsistent with those of other tenants in the Building. Consent by Landlord to one assignment or subletting shall not operate as a waiver of the limitations set forth in this Section 18 as to future assignments or subleases. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord, at its option, may elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises affected by the action for which consent is requested and enter into a direct lease with the proposed assignee or subtenant. Any assignment or sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option be void. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from primary liability hereunder. Each assignment and sublease shall be by an instrument in writing in form satisfactory to Landlord. In addition Tenant agrees that if Tenant assigns its interest in this Lease or sublets the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one half (1/2) of any rent and any and all consideration received by Tenant for such assignment or sublease received from the sublessee or assignee that exceeds the amount of the Rent (the “Excess Rent”). Tenant may deduct from the Excess Rent all reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant attributable to the sublease or assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, then any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of, or power to vote the majority of Tenant’s outstanding stock, shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Lease. If Tenant is a partnership, then a change in general partners or voting or decision-making control or the partnership shall also constitute an assignment. Tenant shall also pay all legal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s consideration of Tenant’s request for approval of assignments or subleases, including assignments for security purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a reorganization of or sale of shares between the existing shareholders of Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease (“Existing Shareholders”) shall not constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Lease, nor shall a sale of up to 50% of the voting shares in the Tenant’s outstanding stock to outside investors constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Lease if the Existing Shareholders or any one of them, retain control of the remaining 50% of the voting shares of stock. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if the Lease Guarantee Agreement (Exhibit E) has expired, and Tenant wishes to sublease all of the Premises to an unrelated third party, Landlord may consider the current assets or the tangible net worth (determined in accordance with general accepted accounting principles, consistently applied by Tenant’s and the proposed transferee’s respective independent certified public accountants) of the proposed transferee and any guarantor, in determining whether to grant or withhold Landlord’s consent to the sublease.
19. Assignment by Landlord. If Landlord sells or otherwise transfers the Building, or if Landlord assigns its interest in this Lease, such purchaser, transferee or assignee thereof shall be deemed to have assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder, and Landlord shall thereupon be relieved of all liabilities hereunder arising thereafter, but this Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor.
20. Destruction. If the Premises are rendered partially or totally untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within sixty (60) days from the date of the occurrence, then if insurance proceeds are available to pay the full cost of the repairs (less any deductible) Landlord shall repair the Premises with due diligence so long as at least the then-unexpired term of this Lease is at least one hundred eighty (180) days; otherwise Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. During the repair or construction of the Premises, the base rent shall be abated in the proportion that the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole thereof, as determined by Landlord, for the period from the date of the casualty to the completion of the repairs, unless the casualty results from the negligence of Tenant or its officers, contractors, agents, invitees, guests or employees or Tenant’s breach of the terms of this Lease. If the Building is destroyed or materially damaged, then regardless of whether the Premises are damaged, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord’s election to repair or terminate by giving notice to Tenant thereof within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty. In the event of damage by casualty, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to its own personal property and to all improvements which Tenant has
10
made to the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damages, compensation or other sums for inconvenience, loss of business or disruption arising from any repairs to or restoration of any portion of the Building or Premises. If Landlord elects to repair such damage to the Premises or the Building, such repair shall be commenced and completed as soon as reasonably possible, subject to delays resulting from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
21. Eminent Domain
(a) Taking. If all of the Premises arc taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the Premises and all rentals shall be paid to that date. The term “eminent domain” shall include the taking or damaging of property by, through or under any governmental or statutory authority, and any purchase or acquisition in lieu thereof, whether the damaging or taking is by government or any other person. If a taking of any part of the Premises by eminent domain renders the remainder thereof unusable for the business of Tenant, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, this Lease, at the option of either party, may be terminated by written notice given to the other party not more than thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the taking, and such termination stall be effective as of the date when Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Premises so taken. If the whole or any material part of the Building shall be taken by eminent domain, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. If this Lease is so terminated, all rent shall be paid to the date of termination. Whenever any portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall at its expense proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore, to the extent of available condemnation or insurance proceeds and to the extent it is reasonably prudent to do so, the remainder of the Premises to the condition they were in immediately prior to such taking, and Tenant shall at its expense proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore its personal property and all improvements made by it to the Premises to the same condition they were in immediately prior to such taking. The base rent payable hereunder shall be reduced from the date Tenant is required to partially vacate the Premises in the same proportion that the rentable area taken bears to the total rentable area of the Premises prior to taking.
(b) Award. Landlord reserves all right to the entire damage award or payment for any taking by eminent domain or a transfer in lieu thereof, and Tenant waives all claim whatsoever against Landlord for damages for termination of its leasehold interest in the Premises or for interference with its business. Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may now have or hereafter acquire to such damages and agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant shall, however, have the right to claim from the condemning authority all compensation that may be recoverable by Tenant on account of any loss incurred by Tenant in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, provided, however, that Tenant may claim such damages only if they are awarded separately in the eminent domain proceeding and not as part of Landlord’s damages.
22. Default by Tenant; Remedies. Time is of the essence of this Lease. If Tenant violates or breaches or fails to keep or perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease, and if such default or violation continues for or is not remedied within three (3) (or, if no default in the rent is involved, within ten (10) days after notice in writing thereof given by Landlord to Tenant specifying the matter claimed to be in default, then Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, at its option which shall not be exclusive, but shall be cumulative and in addition and supplemental to any and all other rights and/or remedies that Landlord may have at law or in equity: (a) to declare the Lease term ended and to reenter the Premises without notice to vacate (any right to which is hereby waived by Tenant) and take possession of the Premises and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or hereunder and Landlord may recover from Tenant all rent then due or thereafter accruing and such other damages as are caused by Tenant’s default; or (b) without declaring this Lease terminated, to reenter the Premises without notice to vacate (any right to which is hereby waived by Tenant) and occupy the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and to collect any unpaid rentals and other charges, which have become payable, or which may thereafter became payable, all without being liable for forcible entry, trespass or other tort; or (c) even though it may have reentered the Premises, to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant or to the Premises.
If Landlord reenters the Premises under option (b) above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay any rental or other charges thereafter accruing, or to
11
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. 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.
If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of options (a) or (c) above, Landlord may recover from Tenant as damages, the following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rental 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 rental which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental 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 therefrorn, including but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees therefor, (b) maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for such reletting (d) leasing commissions, and (e) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus (v) at Landlord’s election, 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) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the interest rate specified in Section 7 hereof. As used in item (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by using a discount rate of four percent (4%).
For all proposes of this Section 22 only, the term “rental” shall be deemed to be the base rental and all additional rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Finally, if Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises and fails to reoccupy them within ten (10) days after Landlord (1) delivers a notice to the Premises (which will be unoccupied) demanding such re-occupancy and (2) mails by certified or registered mail a copy of the notice to any forwarding address given by Tenant to Landlord in writing, Tenant shall be in default under this Lease.
23. Insolvency. If a petition is filed under the United States Bankruptcy Act or other law to have Tenant, or any guarantor of this Lease (‘Guarantor”) reorganized, dissolved or liquidated, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for Tenant’s assets under the United States Bankruptcy Act or other law, or if a proceeding is commenced to foreclose any mortgage or any other lien on Tenant’s interest in the Premises or on personal property kept or maintained in the Premises, or if Tenant or Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, then Tenant shall be deemed to be in default hereunder.
24. Waiver. Neither the acceptance of rent nor any other acts or omissions of Landlord at any time or times after the happening of any event authorizing the cancellation or forfeiture of this Lease shall operate as a waiver of any past or future violation, breach or failure to keep or perform any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or to deprive Landlord of its right to cancel or forfeit this Lease, upon the written notice provided for herein, at any time that cause for cancellation or forfeiture may exist, or be construed so as at any future time to estop Landlord from promptly exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may have under any term or provision of this Lease.
25. Default by Landlord; Lender Protection.
(a) Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to cure a default by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof from Tenant, or if each default is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord has failed to commence such cure and diligently pursue such cure until completion.
(b) In the event of any uncured default on the part of Landlord, which default would entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall not terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy
12
unless Tenant has notified Lender, at least sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination. During said sixty (60) day period Lender shall be entitled to commence to cure the default. If the default is not susceptible of cure with due diligence within said sixty (60) day period, the Lease shall not be terminated if the Lender shall have commenced to cure the default within said sixty (60) day period and shall pursue the cure with due diligence thereafter. If the default is one which is not susceptible to cure by the Lender within said sixty (60) day period because the Lender is not in possession of the Building or Land, such sixty (60) day period shall be extended to include time needed to obtain possession thereof by the Lender by power of sale, judicial foreclosure or such other legal action required to recover possession provided that such avenues are pursued with due diligence.
26. Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord retains the services of an attorney in connection with enforcing the terms of this Lease, or if suit is brought for the recovery of rent or additional rent due under this Lease or for the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease or for the restitution of the Premises to Landlord and/or eviction of Tenant during the term of this Lease or after the expiration thereof, Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees and other court costs incurred in connection therewith and at trial and on appeal and whether in bankruptcy court or other legal proceeding.
27. Access by Landlord. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter and to grant licensees the right to enter the Premises at any time to examine the same, and to show them to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. If Tenant is not personally present to permit entry and an entry is necessary in an emergency, Landlord may enter the same by master key or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering Landlord liable therefor. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty of repair except as specifically provided for herein. Tenant shall not change the locks to the Premises without first advising Landlord thereof and providing Landlord with evidence that the new lock is keyed to Landlord’s master key system for the Building.
28. Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Lease term shall not be deemed to be a renewal of this Lease but shall be deemed to create a tenancy at will on the terms and conditions set forth herein, except base rent shall be increased to two hundred percent (200%) of the base rent in effect during the last month hereof, which tenancy may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. If Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity to which Landlord may be entitled, Tenant shall be liable for all damages suffered by Landlord as a consequence of such holding over, including, but not limited to, the loss of any new tenant for the Premises or Building as a result of Tenant’s holding over and all amounts payable by Landlord to or for such prospective tenant, including, without limitation, damages suffered by the prospective tenant as a consequence of Tenant’s holding over.
29. Lease Subordinate in Mortgages. This Lease automatically shall be subordinate to all of Landlord’s mortgages or deeds of trust which heretofore and which may hereafter affect the Premises or Building, to any sale and leaseback, to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest on the obligations secured thereby, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof. This subordination shall be self operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary to effect such subordination; nevertheless, Tenant shall execute such additional instrument of subordination as may be required by any Lender provided only that such instrument of subordination shall provide that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall have continued enjoyment of the Premises free from any disturbance or interruption by reason of any foreclosure of Lender’s deed of trust or mortgage. In the event of sale or foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, or exercise of the power of sale thereunder, or in the event of a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser (or transferee) of the Building at such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser (or transferee) as Landlord under this Lease if so requested by such purchaser (or transferee). Such attornment shall be self operative and no further instruments need be executed to effect such attornment. If any Lender elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or dead of trust and gives notice of its election to Tenant, then this Lease shall thereupon become superior to the lien of such mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated or recorded before or after the mortgage or deed of trust.
30. Estoppel and Other Certificates. Tenant shall, within ten (l0) days of Landlord’s written request, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord (a) any subordination or non-disturbance agreement or other
13
instrument that Landlord may require to carry out the provisions of Section 29, and (b) any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord from time to time in the standard form of Landlord or any such mortgagee or beneficiary of such deed of trust certifying, to the extent such be true, that (i) Tenant shall be in occupancy, (ii) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, (iii) rent and additional rent have been paid only through a certain specified date, and (iv) there are no offsets or claims.
31. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon fully complying with and promptly performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed, shall have and quietly enjoy the Premises for the term set forth herein, if its performance of such terms, covenants and conditions continues for such period, subject, however, to matters of record on the day hereof and to those matters to which this Lease may be subsequently subordinated.
32. Notices. Any notices required in accordance with any of the provisions herein shall be in writing and telecopied, delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and, if mailed, shall be considered delivered three (3) days after deposit in such mail. The address to be used in connection with such correspondence and notices are the following, or such other address as a party shall from time to time direct.

Option to Renew
Provided that Tenant is not in default with any term, condition, or covenant of this lease, Tenant shall have a one (1) time option to renew for a term of five (5) years at the same general terms and conditions then in existence under the lease except the base rental rate, which will be at the then current market rate.
The parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish the current market rate. If the parties are unable to agree on such rate within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord its notice exercising the renewal option (the “Notice Date”), then an arbitrator(s) shall be selected to determine the current market rent. The number of arbitrators shall be one, unless the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within forty (40) days of the Notice Date, the parties shall each choose one arbitrator, and these two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator who shall preside over the proceedings. If the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator no later than forty (40) days after the Notice Date, and a party fails to identify its arbitrator within ten (10) business days of the first party’s identification of their arbitrator, then the arbitrator appointed by the first party shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue. Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of retaining its arbitrator and the fees and expenses or the third arbitrator (or the sole arbitrator as the case may be) and other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. The arbitrator’s determination of current market rate shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the determination of current market rate rendered by the arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction over this matter.
If Tenant elects to exercise this option, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at the Notice address, at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial lease term.
