This Sublease Agreement ("Sublease"), dated December 8, 2000, is made between XXXXXXX.XXX CORPORATION ("Sublessor") and XXXXXXXXXXXX.XXX, INC. ("Sublessee").
A. Sublessor and 223 XXXXXX CORP. (as "Master Lessor") entered into a written lease dated August 10, 1998, regarding Suite 200 of the building known as the 223 XXXXXX BUILDING (the "Building"). Said lease, together with all modifications thereto, is referred to herein as the "Master Lease", and the premises covered by the Master Lease is herein collectively called "Master Premises". A copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follow:
- 1.
- Premises and Equipment
a. Premises
Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee on the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease a portion of the Master Premises containing an agreed area of 5805 rentable square feet, currently known as Suite(s) 201, as shown on Exhibit C ("Premises"). The Premises include those common areas shown on attached Exhibit C including, without limitation, restrooms, hallways, kitchen area, and conference rooms.
b. Equipment
Sublessor hereby subleases to Subleasee the furniture systems currently located at the Premises, which include cubicles, workstations, and the like (the "Equipment"). Sublessee shall pay no additional rent for the lease of the Equipment. Sublessee shall return the Equipment to Sublessor at the end of the Term in the same condition as it was in when it was received by Sublessee, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. Sublessee shall deposit an additional $5,000 as security to ensure that Sublessee returns the Equipment to Sublessor in the condition required by this Section 1.b.
Provided Master Lessor has consented to this Sublease ("Consent"), the initial term of this Sublease ("Initial Term") shall commence on January 1, 2001 ("Commencement Date"), and shall end on December 31, 2001. After December 31, 2001, this Sublease shall continue on a month-to-month basis on the same terms and conditions, except that either party may terminate it after the Initial Term upon giving the other party written notice of termination at least 90 days in advance of the termination date ("Expiration Date"). The period of time from the Commencement Date until the Expiration Date, or the date of any sooner termination of this Sublease, may be referred to herein as the "Term." Upon execution of this Sublease, Sublessee, its agents and contractors shall be allowed access to the Premises (for example, to install its telephone system, and move in its personal property) with no obligation to pay rent. If Sublessee occupies the space and conducts business prior to January 1, 2001, such date shall be considered the Commencement Date.
On or before December 15, 2000, Sublessor shall remove all personal property from the Premises, and deliver the Premises to Sublessee in "broom Clean" condition. Otherwise, Subleasee shall accept the Premises and the equipment in an "as-is, where-is" condition ("Possession"). If Sublessor is not able to deliver Possession to Sublessee on the Commencement Date notwithstanding Sublessor's reasonable, good faith efforts, Base Rent, as defined in Section 3(a), shall xxxxx until delivery of Possession. If Possession is not delivered within fifteen (15) days of the Commencement Date, then
Sublessee has the option to cancel this Sublease be delivering written notice of termination to Sublessor.
a. Base Rent
Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, on or before the first day of each calendar month, Base Rent in the amount of (i) $8,923.39 from the Commencement Date through the eighth month of the Initial Term, and (ii) $9,407.14 for each month thereafter until the end of the Term. The monthly installments of Base Rent shall be prorated at the rate of 1/30 of the monthly Base Rent per day for any partial month during the Term. Payment shall be made to the following address: Xxxxxxx.xxx Corporation, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx.
b. Operating Expenses
Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as additional rent, 30.19 percent (30.19%) of the Operating Costs (as defined in the Master Lease) chargeable to the Master Premises. If the Master Lease provides for the payment by Sublessor of Operating Costs on the basis of an estimate thereof, then as and when adjustments between estimated and actual Operating Costs are made under the Master Lease, the obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee hereunder shall be adjusted in a like manner; and if any such adjustment shall occur after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then the obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee under this Paragraph shall survive such expiration or termination. Such increase in operating costs shall be due within fifteen (15) days after Sublessee's receipt from Sublessor of an itemized statement of such costs, accompanied by copies of appropriate invoices. Payments by Sublessee will be on the same basis as Sublessor's payments to Landlord in the Master Lease.
Sublessee acknowledges that paying Base Rent late will cause Sublessor to incur administrative, collection, processing and accounting costs and expenses not contemplated under this Sublease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impracticable to fix. Sublessee therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is due and payable pursuant to this Sublease, such amounts shall be payable upon the same terms and conditions as the Master Lease and the same late charges shall apply. Sublessor and Sublessee agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Sublessor for its loss caused by Sublessee's nonpayment. Should Sublessee pay the monthly rent late, but fail to pay said late charge, or pay said late charge, but fail to pay contemporaneously therewith all unpaid amounts of Rent, Sublessor's acceptance of the late rent or said late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Sublessee's default with respect to Sublessee's nonpayment, nor prevent Sublessor from exercising all other rights and remedies available to Sublessor under this Lease or under law.
Within ten (10) business days after the execution of this Sublease, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the first month's rent due and provide Sublessor with security in the sum of Nine Thousand Four Hundred Seven and 14/100 Dollars ($9,407.14) ("Security Deposit"). The Security Deposit may, at Sublessee's option, either be in the form of a Letter of Credit or cash held in an escrow account. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a financial institution selected by Sublessee doing business in the state of Washington, and shall allow Sublessor to draw up to the amount of the Security Deposit upon submitting to the financial institution a written notice copied to Sublessee stating that Sublessee is in default and stating the amount to be disbursed to cure the default. Sublessee may likewise select the escrow agent, and the terms of the escrow shall allow Sublessor to receive a disbursement from the escrow agent up to the amount of the Security Deposit upon submitting to the escrow agent a written notice copied to Sublessee stating that Sublessee is in default and stating the amount necessary to cure
2
the default. If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges when due under this Sublease, or fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Sublessor may use or apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any sum for which the Sublessor may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default or breach, or for any loss or damage sustained by Sublessor as a result of Sublessee's default or breach. If Sublessor so uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Sublessee shall, within ten (10) days after written demand by Sublessor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited less any amounts applied to the first months' rent, and Sublessee's failure to do so shall constitute a default under this Sublease. If Sublessor assigns its interest in this Sublease, Sublessor shall assign to its assignee Sublessor's interest in the Letter of Credit or escrow account, as the case may be. Within thirty (30) days after the Term has expired, or Sublessee has vacated the Premises, whichever shall last occur, and provided Sublessee is not then in default of any of its obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as had not therefore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned to Sublessee or to the last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest.
The Premises shall be used and occupied only for purposes allowed under the Master Lease. Additionally, until such time as the restroom facilities are remodeled and upgraded to support additional use, and the Sublessor gives its written consent, the Subleasee shall not occupy the Premises with more than 50 people at any given time.
- 5.
- Parking
Sublessee shall be entitled to the use of twelve (12) of Sublessor's parking spaces, which are guaranteed in the Master Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as the Master Lease.
Neither this Sublease nor any right hereunder nor the Premises may be assigned, transferred, encumbered or sublet in whole or in part by Sublessee without Sublessor's and Landlord's prior written consent.
This Sublease is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease by and between Sublessor and Master Lessor.
All terms and conditions of the Master Lease, are incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease as if Sublessor were the Master Lessor thereunder, Sublessee the Tenant thereunder, and the Master Premises were the Premses, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease and except for the following provisions of the Master Lease: First Amendment, Sections 1, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.1, 5, 8.4, Rider 1, and those portions of Exhibit D titled "Rent," "Improvements," "Early Termination," "Telecommunitcations," "Commencement," "Right of First Refusal," "Security Alarm," and "Optical Cable." Sublessee assumes and agrees to perform the Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease during the Term to the extent that such obligations are applicable to the Premises, provided, however, Sublessor shall be responsible for paying Rent, as provided in the Master Lease, to the Master Lessor. Therefore, for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lessor/Landlord" is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublessor herein and wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lessee/Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublessee herein.

As security for the full and faithful performance of every covenant and condition of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant has paid the Security Deposit to Landlord, and Landlord acknowledges receipt of the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall default with respect to any covenant or condition of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of Rent or any other amount or charge due hereunder, Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default, or any other sum, which Landlord may be required to spend or incur by reason of Tenant's default, and any other sum, which Landlord may in its reasonable discretion deem necessary to spend or incur on Tenant's behalf or by reason of Tenant's default. In any such event, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of demand, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied, expended or incurred. Only if Tenant shall have fully complied with all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease at the time of termination, and shall have delivered the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, but not otherwise, the amount of the Security Deposit then held by Landlord shall be repaid to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall not assign or encumber the Security Deposit and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment or encumbrance. Landlord may comingle the Security Deposit with other funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest or other return thereon.
SECTION 6. COST OF OPERATIONS AND REAL ESTATE TAXES
6.1 DEFINITIONS: The following terms shall have the following meanings:
OPERATING COSTS: Any and all amounts incurred or expended by Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation, or repair of the Premises or the Building or the Land or all or any portion thereof, or any improvements, fixtures, or equipment situation thereon or therein including, but not by way of limitation, the cost of operating, maintaining and repairing elevators; wages and salaries of all employees engaged in operation, maintenance or security of the Building, including all taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees; insurance costs of every kind and nature; energy costs, including costs of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and electricity; water, sewer, gas and other utility costs; the total customary charges of any agent or independent contractor employed in the repair, care, operation, management, maintenance, or security of the Building or the Land; Real Property Taxes, as defined below; and any other expenses or charges whether or not herein above described, which in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices would be considered an expense of maintaining, managing, operating or repairing the Building. Operating costs shall not include: (i) initial leasing costs including tenant improvements and leasing commissions for other tenants; (ii) costs of any special services rendered to individual tenants (including Tenant) for which a special charge is collected; and (iii) depreciation or amortization of costs required to be capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (iv) payments of principal or interest on mortgages, deeds of trust, ground leases, or other encumbrances upon the Land or Building or Premises; and (v) repairs to the structure of the Building, and (vi) any bad debt, rent loss, or reserves for bad debt or rent loss; and (vii) any expense for which Landlord is compensated through proceeds of insurance; (viii) cost of repair of the Building caused by fire or other casualty or due to exercise of eminent domain, (ix) cost of environmental remediation, clean-up, and repair except as provided in Section 7.2, and (x) cost of any structural or foundation work. Operating Costs shall include amortization (including interest at the rate incurred by Landlord in connection therewith) of items classified as capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles or which are required under any governmental laws or regulations not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed.
REAL PROPERTY TAXES: Taxes, charges or any installments of, assessments (or any installment thereof due during the Fiscal Year) and other impositions, however denominated, levied from time to time with respect to the Land, the Building, or any improvements, fixtures and equipment, and all
5
other property of Landlord, real or personal, used directly in the operation of the Building and located in, on, or about the Building; any taxes levied or assessed (or any installment thereof due during the Fiscal Year) in addition to or in lieu of, in whole or in part, such taxes; any other tax upon leasing of the Building or rents; any other tax or surcharge such as, for example, payments to or on account of public transit or carpooling or environmental facilities; and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the attempt to reduce any of the foregoing, whether by negotiation or contest. Real Property Taxes, however, shall not include any franchise or state income tax, inheritance tax, estate tax, business and occupation tax, or any other similar tax. Real Property Tax assessments shall be spread over the longest permitted payment period. Tenant hereby waives any right it may have by statute or otherwise to protest the amount of any Real Property Taxes.
FISCAL YEAR: The period from January 1 through December 31.
OPERATING COSTS BASE AMOUNT: Tenant's Percentage of Operating Costs actually incurred or expended by Landlord for the Base Fiscal Year as specified in Section 1.8. Operating Costs and real property assessments shall be spread over the longest permitted payment period. If this Lease sets forth an expense stop in Section 1 (24), then the Operating Costs base amount shall be equal to the expense stop.
6.4.1 If less than an average of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building is occupied by occupants during all or any portion of a fiscal year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment ofoperating costs for such year, including for purposes of estimated payments under Section 6.3, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of operating costs that would have been expended or incurred had ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building been occupied during the entire fiscal year.
6.4.2 During periods that other tenants of the Building are not sharing services or utilities, the Operating Costs Base Amount and Tenant's Percentage shall be appropriately adjusted. For example, during the period that GST occupies a portion of the Building and provided its own heating and cooling equipment and service, increases in the cost of operating, maintaining and repairing the HVAC system used by Tenant shall be spread over the tenants served by that system based on their relative percentages of the remaining space. Similarly, GST will be served by its
6
own electrical power and therefore increases in the cost of the power to the rest of the Building shall be shared by those other tenants by that service.
6.4.3 For the fiscal year in which the term of this Lease terminates or expires, Tenant shall pay only that proportion of the amount otherwise payable under this Section 6 which the number of days of the term of the Lease falling within such year bears to three hundred sixty-five (365) days, based upon the estimated amounts due pursuant to Section 6.3 for the fiscal year of termination or expiration.

The amount of such payment and expenses shall be excluded from the determination of operating costs.
8.3 LANDLORD NOT LIABLE: Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to in this Lease, or any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from power surge, interruption, curtailment or suspension, Tenant acknowledging that any one or more of such events or services may be suspended by reason of accident or repairs, alterations or improvements, or by reason of causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No interruption, curtailment or suspension of service except as caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from the full and complete performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, nor shall there be any abatement of Rent or other charges. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall be liable for any damage to Tenant's personal property resulting from a power outage or interruption which outage or interruption is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord but only to the extent Tenant is not compensated for such damage through insurance proceeds. Tenant shall have the right to install a back-up generator on the property in a location to be determined by Landlord.
8.4 Tenant shall have the right to install a generator in the parking lot outside the Building and hook the generator up to its Premises for emergency power subject to the provisions of this section. Tenant must obtain Landlord's approval of the location of the generator. The generator will occupy at least one parking space in the parking lot. For each parking space or part thereof used by Tenant, Tenant shall lease and allocate one of its 45 spaces described in Section 1(7). Tenant shall take any steps specified by Landlord to insure that no contamination of the property occurs due to the use of placement of the generator. Tenant shall not allow any noise from the generator to unreasonably disrupt other tenants of the building.
SECTION 9. COVENANTS OF TENANT
Tenant agrees, for itself, its employees, agents and invitees, that it shall:
8
responsible to Tenant for the noncompliance by any other Occupant with any of the Rules and Regulations, and any failure by Landlord to enforce any Rules and Regulations against either Tenant or any other Occupant shall not constitute a waiver thereof.
9.5 ADVERTISING: Not place in or on or about the Premises signs, lettering, displays, advertising or pictures which are visible from outside the Premises (including public corridors) except an identifying sign next to the entrance to the Premises which shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 10. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
Tenant shall not make or install any alteration, installation, addition, hardware, window treatment, floor covering, fixture or other improvement to the Premises, or add to, disturb or in any way change any plumbing or wiring, without in each and every of such cases (individually and collectively "Improvements"), the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that Tenant agrees to remove the alterations and repair any damage caused thereby at the end of the Lease Term at Landlord's request. Landlord's approval of
10
plans or specifications for Improvements shall not constitute an assumption of the responsibility for the accuracy or sufficiency of such plans and specifications, or their compliance with applicable codes, regulations or statutes, which responsibility shall be solely Tenant's. All such Improvements shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense and any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make Improvements must first be approved in writing by Landlord. All Improvements and all repairs required to be made by Tenant shall be made in a good workmanlike manner and in compliance with all governmental requirements, codes and rating bureau recommendations, and shall be performed by competent workmen approved in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless and indemnified from all injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property occasioned by, or in connection with the construction or installation of Improvements. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits from governmental authorities. Tenant shall repair any damage and perform any necessary clean-up to the Building or its contents resulting from any Improvements made by Tenant. All Improvements, temporary or permanent, including wall paneling, built-in cabinets, sinks, doors, floor coverings, or other built-in units of any kind, however attached (except trade fixtures, furniture and equipment belonging to Tenant which are removable without causing damage to the Building) or installed by Tenant in, on or about the Premises, shall, upon expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, become Landlord's property, and remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant provided, however, if prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease or within ten (10) days thereafter Landlord so directs by notice, Tenant shall at the expiration or termination of this Lease or within three (3) days after such notice remove any Improvements placed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant and so designated in the notice. If Tenant fails to remove such designated Improvements, they will be deemed to be abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may remove the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
SECTION 11. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
In case of damage to the Premises or the Building by fire, vandalism, malicious mischief or any other occurrence or casualty, Landlord shall (unless this Lease shall be terminated as hereinafter provided) diligently proceed to repair or restore the basic Building structure and all alterations, installations, additions, hardware, nontrade fixtures and improvements, temporary or permanent, made or installed by or with the written approval of Landlord and which are or shall become the property of Landlord (except Tenant and not Landlord shall fully and completely repair any damage to and shall replace the contents of the Premises such as trade fixtures, furniture, equipment or other improvements belonging to Tenant), to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such destruction or damage, to the extent of the applicable insurance proceeds, subject to delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies and delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord if Landlord has not, cannot, or will not within one hundred fifty days (150) of the occurrence of the damage or casualty fully repair and restore the Building and Premises. To the extent that the Premises are rendered untenantable, the Rent and other charges shall proportionately xxxxx unless such damage resulted from or was contributed to by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees or agents in which event there shall be no such abatement. If the damage to the Premises or the Building shall be so extensive that Landlord, in its sole discretion decides not to repair or rebuild, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intent not to repair or rebuild within ninety (90) days of the date of such damage. Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the date of such damage and Tenant shall thereupon promptly vacate the Premises and neither party shall have any liability to the other under this Lease for any obligations thereof that would thereafter otherwise occur.
SECTION 12. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
It is the intention of the parties that each of them shall insure its real and personal property and interests therein, including economic interests, as and to the extent it sees fit. Each of Landlord and Tenant on behalf of insurers and itself hereby fully and completely waives and releases and relieves the
11
other, its agents, partners, officers, directors and employees, from responsibility for, and waives its entire claim of recovery against the other for, any loss of or damage hereafter occurring to that party's real or personal property located anywhere in, on or about the Building or the Land, including the Building itself, and from any loss of rental income from the Building resulting therefrom; except, in any of such cases, to the extent that loss or damage is caused by the deliberate and intentional wrongdoing of the other, its agents, partners, officers, directors or employees.
SECTION 13. INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE
(b) RELEASE OF CERTAIN CLAIMS: Tenant hereby fully and completely waives and releases all claims against Landlord for any losses or other damages sustained by Tenant or any Person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises, including but not limited to: any equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair; any defect, failure, surge in, or interruption of, electrical heating, ventilating, air conditioning, gas, water, or storm sewer or sanitary sewer facilities or service; any defect in or failure of the plumbing, or failure of stairs, railings or walks; broken glass; water being upon or coming into the Premises or the Building; the falling of any fixture, plaster, tile or stucco; or any act of Persons or occupants of the Building, or of an adjacent property.
(c) MODIFICATION OF INDEMNITIES: In compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Lease, all provisions of this Lease including Exhibit B pursuant to which Landlord or Tenant (the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify the other (the "Indemnitee") against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to Persons or damage to property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Premises and the Building, (i) shall not apply to damages caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Indemnitee, its agents or employees, and (ii) to the extent caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee's agents or employees, and (b) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitor's agents or employees, shall apply only to the extent of the Indemnitor's negligence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the limitations of indemnity set forth in this Section shall automatically and without further act by either Landlord or Tenant be deemed amended so as to remove any of the restrictions contained in this Section no longer required by then applicable law.
If the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or of the Premises shall be condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, including any purchase or other acquisition in lieu of condemnation, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall cease and terminate as of the date of taking of possession for such use or purpose. If less than the whole or
12
substantially the whole of the Building or of the Premises shall be so condemned or taken, then Landlord (whether or not the Premises be affected) may, at its option, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted as of the date of the taking of possession for such use or purpose. If a taking of a part of the Premises materially interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations in substantially the same manner and space then Tenant may terminate this Lease on the earlier (a) the date when title vests; or (b) the date when Tenant is dispossessed by condemning authority, by giving written notice to Landlord within 60 days after learning of the extent of the taking. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, then as to that portion of the Premises not so taken or condemned, the Rent and the Operating Costs Base Amount shall be reduced prorata in accordance with the floor area of the Premises which may be so condemned or taken, tenant's Percentage shall be equitably adjusted, and Landlord shall, at its expense, proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore the remaining part of the Premises to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same may be reasonably feasible. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any condemnation proceeding, including any award for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or against the proceeds of the condemnation (and Tenant shall also execute and deliver to Landlord such documents, in recordable form, as Landlord may require to confirm the same) except that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation 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 separately awarded and not out of or as part of the damages recoverable by Landlord.
SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) The Proposed Transferee is at least as creditworthy as Tenant when Tenant entered into this Lease, and satisfies Landlord's then current credit standards for tenants of the Building, and in Landlord's opinion has the financial strength and stability to perform all obligations under this Lease to be performed by Tenant as and when they fall due.
(b) The proposed Transferee will use the Premises for a purpose which in Landlord's opinion (i) is lawful, (ii) is consistent with the permitted use of the Premises under this Lease, (iii) is consistent with the general character of business carried on by tenants of a comparable office building, (iv) does not conflict with any exclusive rights or covenants not to compete in favor of any other tenant or proposed tenant in the Building, (v) will not increase the likelihood of damage or destruction, (vi) will not increase the rate of wear and tear to the Premises or common areas, (vii) will not likely cause an increase in insurance premiums for insurance policies applicable to the Building (unless the proposed Transferee agrees to pay such additional cost), and (viii) will not require new tenant improvements incompatible with then existing Building systems and components.
(c) Tenant pays Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with negotiation, review and processing of the Transfer, plus a processing fee not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each such request.
(d) Landlord is paid any increase in the Security Deposit required by Landlord and permitted by law.
(e) At the time of the proposed Transfer, Tenant is not in default under or in breach of any term provision or covenant of this Lease.
13
(f) The Transfer will not otherwise have or cause a material adverse impact on Landlord's interest in the Building or the Premises.
Tenant shall have the burden of demonstrating that each of the foregoing conditions is satisfied. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity of a consent to any subsequent Transfer, and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon any Person holding by, under or through Tenant.
14
15.5 LETTER OF CREDIT: If Tenant elects to post a letter of credit ("LOC") in order to not be required to obtain Landlord's consent to a Transfer, the letter of credit shall comply with the provisions of this Section 15.5. The LOC shall be a standby, irrevocable letter of credit in the amount equal to the rent due under the Lease for the then remaining term (base rent and estimated payments for increases in Operating Costs), issued by a bank or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the "Bank") as security for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall maintain the LOC in effect at all times during the remaining term of this Lease and any extensions. The LOC shall (i) provide that if Landlord notifies the Bank that a default has occurred which was not cured within the applicable cure period and the amount owed by Tenant to Landlord as a result of such default (the "Delinquent Amount"), the Bank shall pay to Landlord the Delinquent Amount, (iii) be issued for a minimum of one year. Tenant shall cause the existing LOC to be extended or renewed for an additional year or a replacement LOC be issued to Landlord and delivered to Landlord at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the then existing LOC. Simultaneously with delivery of the replacement letter, Landlord shall deliver the existing LOC to Tenant. The replacement LOC shall be in a reduced amount equal to the remaining total rent due under this Lease from the date of the replacement LOC forward. If a renewal or replacement LOC is not timely delivered to Landlord, Landlord shall be permitted to draw the full amount under the LOC (which shall be returned to Tenant upon Landlord's receipt of a replacement LOC). The sole condition to payment by the Bank under the LOC's shall be receipt by the Bank of a written certification from Landlord either (a) that a default has occurred under this Lease which has not been cured within any applicable grace period, or (b) that the existing LOC will expire within 30 days and has not been renewed or replaced by a new LOC acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant posts an LOC and it is later established to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that the combined net worth of the assignee and the Guarantor exceeds $2.5 million, Landlord will return the LOC to Tenant.
SECTION 16. INSOLVENCY AND DEFAULT
15
16.2 OTHER DEFAULTS: Tenant shall be in default of this Lease if:
(i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent or Additional Rent or other charges hereunder when due; or
(ii) Tenant fails to perform any other covenant, term, agreement or condition of this Lease when such performance becomes due; or
(iii) Tenant abandons or ceases to do business in the Premises for reasons within Tenant's control.
If Tenant fails to timely cure any such default, after notice as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 16.2, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease by notice, lawful entry or otherwise, whereupon Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant. Such termination of this Lease and any repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have for arrears of Rent or for a prior breach of any of the provisions of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that a notice by Landlord requesting cure of a pre-existing default hereunder shall constitute a statutory notice to quit.
With respect to a default occurring under clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 16.2, Tenant shall have five (5) business days following receipt of written notice to cure from the Landlord within which to cure any such default. With respect to a default arising under clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 16.2, Tenant shall have ten (10) business days following the receipt of notice to cure from the Landlord within which to cure any such default; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such 10 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have cured the default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said 10 day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion and shall furnish Landlord with such assurances and indemnities that Landlord may require to ensure completion thereof and fully and completely protect Landlord from any loss or liability by reason of any delay. With respect to a default arising under clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 16.2, Landlord be required to provide two (2) business days notice to cure prior to exercising Landlord's right to termination.
16
portion of (i) amounts in the nature of commissions paid by Landlord to leasing agents in connection with this Lease and (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to improve the Premises pursuant to this Lease and (iii) any additional amount furnished in the nature of an allowance (all of such amortization to be based upon the assumption that such costs and expenses are amortized on a straight line bases over the initial Lease Term); and all Landlord's other reasonable expenditures proximately caused by the termination. All sums due in respect of the foregoing shall be due and payable immediately upon notice from Landlord that a cost or expense has been incurred without regard to whether the cost or expense was incurred before or after the termination of this Lease. In the event proceedings are brought under the Bankruptcy Code, including proceedings brought by Landlord, which relate in any way to this Lease including, without limitation, proceedings for the termination, assumption or assignment thereof or proceedings to secure adequate protection for Landlord or proceedings involving objections to the allowance of Landlord's claim (in any of such cases a "Proceedings"), then Landlord shall be paid in addition to any and all amounts due Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the Proceeding, which costs and expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, costs, expenses, disbursements and advances of Landlord, its agents and attorneys.
(i) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.8), of any unpaid Rent which had been earned by Landlord at the time of termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.8), of the amount by which unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of an award exceeds the amount of loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of an award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease (as extended, if at all prior to termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided (including interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.8 from the date of the award until paid). Such worth at the time of award shall be computed at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or successor Federal Reserve Bank, on the date of termination. For the purposes of this calculation only, the last Lease Years' Rent shall be deemed to be constant for each Lease Year thereafter; plus
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 16.3.
17
deem reasonable to any tenant it may deem suitable and satisfactory and for any use and purpose which it may deem appropriate, consistent with the operation of the Building in a first-class manner. Upon each reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Upon a reletting of the Premises, Landlord shall not in any event be required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by the Landlord in excess of the Rent payable in accordance with this Lease.
Landlord covenants that upon Tenant's paying Rent, Additional Rent, and all other amounts and charges due hereunder and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on its part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
SECTION 18. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Land and Building (and the proceeds thereof). Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Land and Building (and the proceeds thereof) for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such judgment or deficiency after execution thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord shall have personal liability for insured claims beyond Landlord's interest in the Land and Building (and the
18
proceeds thereof) but only to the extent of proceeds of Landlord's liability insurance coverage respecting such claims.
SECTION 19. LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN PREMISES
19
If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises after termination or expiration of this Lease, then (i) if such retention of the Premises is without the express or implied consent of Landlord, for each day, or part thereof the Tenant so retains possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord one and one-half times the amount of the daily rate of Rent and Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder during the calendar month immediately preceding such termination or expiration together with any damages sustained by Landlord as a result thereof, and (ii) if such retention of the Premises is with the express or implied consent of Landlord, (1) such tenancy shall be from month to month (and in no event from year to year or any period longer than month to month), and (2) Landlord may terminate any such month to month tenancy upon twenty (20) days notice to Tenant, and (3) Tenant shall pay landlord rental which shall be the greater of either the then quoted rates for similar space in the Building or the monthly Rent and Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder during the calendar month immediately preceding such termination or expiration.

When reasonably necessary, Landlord may either temporarily or permanently change the location of, or close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities without liability by Tenant by reason of such closure and without such action by Landlord being construed as an eviction of Tenant or release of tenant from the duty of observing and performing any of the provisions of this Lease.

EXHIBIT D ADDITIONAL LEASE TERMS
RENT: |
$17.00 per rentable square foot (RSF) per year during the initial 36 months and $18.00 per RSF for the last 24 months. |
|
IMPROVEMENTS: |
Landlord shall provide a Tenant Improvement allowance of $5.00 per RSF for reimbursement of tenant improvements to be made by Tenant. The funds will be provided to Tenant upon completion of improvements and receipt of lien releases from all contractors. Tenant will initially occupy the Premises in its AS-IS condition, except as set forth in the next paragraph, but broom clean. Landlord will be responsible for putting all systems in the Premises in good working order and will use good faith efforts to accomplish that by the Commencement date. All improvements to be made by Tenant are subject to Section 10 of the Lease. |
|
LATENT DEFECTS: |
If any latent defects in the Building or Premises interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises for normal office uses, Landlord, at its expense (not included in Operating Costs) shall be responsible for correcting the defect. If, when Tenant alters the Premises, it encounters unknown conditions or defects, and if the condition would not be required to be addressed but for Tenant's alterations, Tenant shall be responsible for dealing with those conditions or defects in connection with its alterations at its expense. If the discovered defect would require repair irrespective of Tenant's work, Landlord will correct the defect at its expense. |
|
UTILITIES AND SERVICES: |
a. UTILITIES, SERVICES: Landlord shall furnish to the Premises HVAC and maintenance services customary in similar buildings and suitable for the intended use of the Premises, and all charges for such shall be included in Operating Costs. Landlord's service shall not include replacement of lamps in the lighting fixtures. |
|

EARLY TERMINATION: |
Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease effective at the end of any month after the 36th month by giving the Landlord nine (9) month's prior written notice accompanied by the Termination Payment. The "Termination Payment" shall be equal to the sum of the unamortized Tenant Improvement Allowance, unamortized real estate commissions and a penalty equal to three (3) months Base Rent. For example, the earliest the Lease term would end would be the last day of the 36th month of the Lease Term, and to terminate as of that date, Tenant would need to provide the termination notice and Termination Payment (based on the rental rate of $18.00 per rentable square foot per year) to Landlord by the end of the 27th month of the Lease term. The $18.00 rental rate is applicable because the 3 month payment relates to the 3 month period after the effective date of the termination. |

If Landlord and GST do not reach agreement on a lease for the available space, then Landlord will notify Tenant that the space is available and Tenant shall have 3 business days to notify Landlord whether or not it is interested in leasing the space. If Tenant gives the notice within that period, Landlord agrees to negotiate in good faith with Tenant for 7 days to reach agreement on a lease for the space. If they do not reach agreement, Landlord shall be free to lease the space to a new tenant. The space will not be considered "available" if a current tenant of that space wishes to extend their lease and they reach agreement with Landlord on an extension. |

Tenant shall not penetrate the roof for installation of the mast unless it is necessary to do so. If it is necessary, then the penetration shall be (a) performed by Landlord's roofing contractor if Landlord so requires, or if not, by a contractor approved by Landlord, and (b) installed in a manner which does not invalidate Landlord's current roof warranty. Tenant shall remove the mast and its dishes prior to termination or expiration of the Lease and shall reseal any penetration to Landlord's satisfaction. If Tenant wishes to install a second two dish mast, it shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval. Landlord may condition installation of the second mast on payment of an additional $200 per month rent per additional mast and all aspects of the second mast and its dishes shall be subject to Landlord's approval. |

The option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Landlord at least 12 months prior to the expiration of the initial term. Exercise of the option shall be conditioned upon (a) none of the space in the Premises being subleased at the time of exercise of the option or commencement of the option term, and (b) the Lease not having been assigned by Tenant to any other person or entity.
If Tenant exercises an option, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord's estimation of fair market rent schedule for the Option Term not later than 10 months before the beginning of the Option Term. If Tenant disagrees with the rent schedule specified by Landlord, it shall advise Landlord in writing thereof within 20 days after receipt of Landlord's notice, and the parties shall promptly meet to attempt to resolve their difference. If the difference is not resolved within 30 days after Landlord's notice of the New Rent, then the parties shall submit the matter to arbitration.
Each party shall notify the other in writing of the name and address of its arbitrator. The arbitrator(s) shall be qualified real estate brokers familiar with rental rates in the Seattle area. If, within 10 days after receipt of a notice from the initialing party (the "Instigator") designating its arbitrator, the other party (the "Recipient") fails to give notice to Instigator specifying the name and address of the person designated by Recipient to act as its arbitrator, then the arbitrator appointed by Instigator shall be the sole arbitrator and shall determine the issue. The duty of the arbitrator(s) shall be to determine the fair market rent schedule based on rental rates for the comparable space in the Seattle area. The 2 arbitrators so chosen shall meet within 10 days after the second arbitrator is appointed and, if within 10 days after such first meeting the two arbitrators are unable to agree promptly upon the fair market rent schedule, the arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators. When the third arbitrator has been appointed, the first two arbitrators shall each state in writing its determination of the fair market rent schedule supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to each party. The first two arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most closely approximates the third arbitrator's determination of fair market rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions. The resolution selected shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties. If any arbitrator fails or refuses to act, a successor shall be appointed by that arbitrator. The arbitrators shall attempt to decide the issue within 10 days after the appointment of the third arbitrator. The arbitrator(s)' decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share equally the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.
The right to terminate on a 9 months' notice, set forth in Exhibit D shall not apply during the Option Term.
