PREMISES/COMMON AREAS/PROJECT. a. PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant the premises described in Section 1 and in Exhibit A (the "Premises"), located in the Building described on Exhibit B. The Building is part of a larger, multi-building development shown on Exhibit B (the "Project", with the buildings collectively referred to as the "Buildings"). Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements to the Premises, Landlord shall cause the rentable square footage of the Premises to be measured by Landlord's architect using the BOMA American National Standard Institute Publication, ANSI Z65.1-1996 standards (the "Rentable Square Footage"), which measurement shall govern with respect to the Premises Area of Section 1(d). Tenant shall have the right to have a Washington-licensed surveyor approved by Landlord and jointly responsible to Landlord and Tenant verify the Premises Net Rentable Area determined by Landlord's Architect, if it does so within twenty (20) days after receipt of the notice from Landlord's Architect. If based on such verification Tenant disagrees with the Net Rentable Area determined by Landlord's Architect it shall advise Landlord and its Architect of the deviation within ten (10) days thereafter or be deemed to have accepted Landlord's Architect's determination. If Tenant gives a timely notification of disagreement, then the parties shall jointly select a Washington-licensed surveyor to review the calculations of Landlord's architect and the Tenant selected surveyor and make the determination of Premises Net Rentable Area, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties. Landlord shall cause each building within the Project to be similarly measured for the purposes of Sections 1(e) and 1(f) upon completion of the interior improvements of such building(s). Each building shall be deemed added to the Project for the purposes of such computation upon the completion of the Building Shell and Core improvements, as defined in Exhibit C, to such building and the computations of Section 1, if delayed pending final measurement of Rentable Square Footage, shall be deemed retroactive to such date. b. COMMON AREAS. As used in this Lease, "Common Areas" shall mean all portions of the Project not leased or demised for lease to specific tenants. During the Lease Term, Tenant and its licensees, invitees, customers and employees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the public portions of the Common Areas, including all parking areas, landscaped areas, entrances, lobbies, elevators, stairs, corridors, and public restrooms in common with Landlord, other Project tenants and their respective licensees, invitees, customers and employees. Landlord shall be entitled to create limited Common Areas within specified Buildings for exclusive use of the tenants within such Buildings. Landlord shall at all times have exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and no diminution thereof shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction or entitle Tenant to compensation or a reduction or abatement of rent. Landlord in its discretion may increase, decrease or change the number, locations and dimensions of any Common Areas and other improvements shown on Exhibit B, and/or designate such areas limited Common Areas assigned to particular buildings within the Project. c. PROJECT. Landlord reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify or alter the configuration or number of buildings in the Project, so long as such modification or alteration does not materially modify or alter Tenant's Premises and provided only that upon such modification or alteration, the Project Area as set forth in Section 1(e) shall be adjusted to reflect such modification or alteration using the BOMA American National Standard Institute Publication, ANSI Z65.1-1996. 3. TERM. 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) the date Tenant has substantially commenced the use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof for purposes other than completion of the Tenant Work (as defined in Exhibit F), or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days (the "Tenant Work Period") after the Delivery Date as defined in Exhibit F. The scheduled Delivery Date is February 29, 2000. As used herein, "Unexcused Delay" means the failure to meet an applicable deadline when caused by delays other than Tenant Delay or Force Majeure. "Day(s) of Unexcused Delay" means the number of days of delay past the applicable deadline caused by Unexcused Delay (excluding the effect of Tenant Delay or Force Majeure). The Tenant Work Period shall be extended by the amount of any Unexcused Delay. If on September 1, 2000, as a result of Unexcused Delay either (w) the Tenant Work is not yet substantially complete or (x) Tenant cannot occupy the Premises because the condition of the Building Shell and Core prevents issuance of such building permit sign offs as are necessary for beneficial occupancy of the Premises, then in addition to any extension of the Tenant Work Period as specified above, Tenant shall receive a credit against Base Rent that first becomes due under this Lease, in an amount equal to one (1) day of Base Rent for each such Day of Unexcused Delay. If, on November 1, 2000, as a result of Unexcused Delay either (y) the Tenant Work is not yet substantially complete or (z) Tenant cannot occupy the Premises because the condition of the Building Shell and Core prevents issuance of such building permit sign offs as are necessary for beneficial occupancy of the Premises, and Landlord does not substantially complete the Building Shell and Core so that (subject to the completion of the Tenant Work), building permit sign offs can be issued allowing Tenant to use and occupy the Premises for its intended purposes within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant of Tenant's intention to terminate this Lease as provided in this sentence, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord at any time after the end of such thirty (30) day period and prior to the date the Building Shell and Core is substantially complete. If the Commencement Date is later than the estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1 above, then, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this Lease shall not be void or voidable and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for such delay. 4 Following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall confirm such date to Tenant in writing. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the terms and application of this Section 3 and Exhibits C and F attached shall be subject to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 39 of this Lease. All provisions of this Lease, other than those relating to the commencement of the Lease Term, the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent, shall become effective on the date Tenant or its contractor or employees are first present on the Premises for construction, installation, move-in or other purposes. 4. RENT a. BASE MONTHLY RENT. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount in Section 1 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month ("Base Monthly Rent") provided, however, the first month's Base Monthly Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses, including any adjustments for Rent Abatement as described in Section 30 below, is due and payable upon the earlier occurrence of (a) February 1, 2000 or (b) the Commencement Date of Tenant's Premises. For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to this Lease hereby agree to allocate the stated Rents, provided herein, to the periods which correspond to the actual Rent payments as provided under the terms and conditions of this agreement. b. RENT ADJUSTMENT. 1) Base Monthly Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and at the times set forth in Section 1(j). c. EXPENSES. The purpose of this Section 4(c) is to ensure that Tenant bears its proportionate share of all actual Expenses related to the use, maintenance, ownership, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Building in which the Premises is located and associated Common Areas. Accordingly, beginning on the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Tenant shall each month pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Share of Expenses related to the Building and Associated Common Areas. As used in this Lease, "Tenant's Share" shall mean the Premises Area, as defined in Section 1(d), divided by the Building Area, as defined in Section 1(e), and "Tenant's Share of Expenses" shall mean total Expenses for the Building and associated Common Areas, multiplied by Tenant's Share, provided that Landlord may specially allocate individual expenses where and in the manner necessary, in Landlord's discretion, to appropriately reflect the consumption of the expense or service. For example where some but not all premises in the Building have HVAC, Landlord may reallocate Building Expenses for HVAC to all premises utilizing HVAC to be apportioned on a per square foot basis, or could allocate to each premises utilizing HVAC the cost of maintaining that space's individual unit. In the event the average occupancy level of the Building or the Project for any year is less than ninety five percent (95%), the actual Expenses for the Building or the Project for such year shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect those costs which Landlord estimates would have been incurred, had the Building or Project, as applicable, been ninety five percent (95%) occupied during such year, such that Tenant's Share of Expenses more accurately reflects Tenant's actual usage. The Building is part of a larger, multi-building project described on Exhibit B hereto. In the event any Expenses are billed on a multi-building basis, Tenant's Share of such Expenses shall be charged based on the ratio of the Premises Area, as defined in Section 1(d) divided by the Project Area, defined in Section 1(f). The intent of the parties is to make rental payable by Tenant and other tenants in the Project absolutely net to Landlord assuming at least 95% occupancy, except for items expressly excluded in Section 4(c)(1)(f). 1) EXPENSES DEFINED. The term "Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses of the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Project (allocated on a building-by-building basis, to the extent so provided above), including without limitation, the following costs: (a) All supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and utilities used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Project, (b) All maintenance, management, janitorial, legal, accounting, insurance, and service agreement costs related to the Project. If the Building is managed by an affiliate of Landlord, building management fees in excess of management fees charged by independent property managers for comparable buildings in the Building's geographic market area shall be excluded from defined expenses. (c) All maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, air conditioning systems, sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking Areas (including resurfacing and restriping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including painting), signs and directories, repairing and replacing roofs, walls, etc. These costs may be included either based on actual expenditures or the use of an accounting reserve based on past cost experience for the Project. 5 (d) Amortization (along with reasonable financing charges) of capital betterments made to the Project which may be required by any government authority or which will improve the operating efficiency of the Project (provided, however, that the amount of such amortization for improvements not mandated by government authority shall not exceed in any year the amount of costs reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion to have been saved by the expenditure either through the reduction or minimization of increases which would have otherwise occurred). (e) Real Property Taxes including all taxes, assessments (general and special) and other impositions or charges which may be taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed upon all or any portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion thereof, any leasehold estate in the Premises or measured by Rent from the Premises, including any increase caused by the transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion thereof. "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any form of assessment, levy, penalty, charge or tax (other than estate, inheritance, net income, or franchise taxes) imposed by any authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge, including, without limitation, any city, county, state federal or any improvement or other district, whether such tax is (1) determined by the value of the Project or the Rent or other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or any part thereof; (3) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest in the Project, (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in whole or in part of or in addition to any real property taxes on the Project, (5) based on any parking spaces or parking facilities provided in the Project, or (6) in consideration for services, such as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or other services that may be provided by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were formerly provided without charge or with less charge to property owners or occupants. (f) Landlord agrees that Expenses as defined in Section 4(c) shall not include the following: (i) the cost of any special services rendered to individual tenants for which a separate charge is billed; (ii) costs of capital betterments except as provided in subsection 4(c)(1)(d) above; (iii) Legal fees, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, or other related expenses incurred by Landlord in an effort to generate rental income; (iv) Repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or replacements made to rectify or correct any defect in the original design, materials or workmanship of Building or common areas (but not including repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or replacements made as a result of ordinary wear and tear); (v) Damage and repairs attributable to fire or other casualty for which Landlord is reimbursed from insurance proceeds; (vi) (a) Executive Salaries or (b) Salaries of service personnel for performance of services except to the extent incurred directly in connection with the management, operation, repair or maintenance of the Building; (viii) Landlord's general overhead expenses not related to the Building, provided that Landlord shall be allowed to include the value of any rent-free or rent-reduced occupancy in the Building if such is given to the managing entity in lieu of a higher management fee; (ix) Legal fees, accountants' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with disputes with tenants or other occupants of the Building or associated with the enforcement of the terms of any leases with other tenants or otherwise incurred for any reason other than for the general benefit of all tenants in the Building; (x) Costs (including permit, license and inspection fees) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or altering (a) vacant space (excluding common areas) in the Building, or (b) space for tenants or other occupants in the Building, or (c) costs incurred in supplying any improvement item specifically for, or specific services to, other tenants in the Building; (xi) Principal and/or interest payments called for under any debt secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the Building; (e) Landlord shall not attempt to collect in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of Operating Expenses and shall not recover any item of cost more than once; (xiii) Any bad debt loss, rent loss, or reserves for bad debts or rent loss; (xiv) All items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Building otherwise reimburses Landlord; (xv) Electric power costs for which any tenant directly contracts with the local public service company; (xvi) Costs arising from Landlord's political or charitable contributions; (xvii) Costs, other than those incurred in ordinary maintenance, for the purchase and installation of sculpture, paintings or other objects of art; (xviii) Tax penalties incurred as a result of Landlord's negligence, inability or unwillingness to make payments when due; (xix) Costs incurred due to a violation by Landlord or any other tenant of the Building of the terms and conditions of any lease; (xx) Costs and expenses incurred in complying with hazardous waste and environmental laws where the 6 lack of compliance is caused by hazardous waste brought into the Project by Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors or other tenants; (xxi) Costs or expenses which would be capitalized under generally accepted accounting principals, and which relate to the initial completion of the Premises, load bearing walls and other structural elements of the Building or the Project, or during the initial Lease Term related to the replacement of the heating and air conditioning and other Building and Project systems; and (xxii) direct costs of managing the Garage paid to third party garage operators such as management fees, attendants, cashiers and maintenance of ticket dispensing equipment. 2) ANNUAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES, TENANT'S SHARE. When Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's share of Expenses for the remainder of the calendar year, and at the commencement of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's Share of Expenses for the coming year by multiplying the appropriate estimated annual Building or Project Expenses by Tenant's Share. 3) MONTHLY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly in advance, as Additional Rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Estimate of Tenant's Share of Expenses beginning on the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises. As soon as practical following each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the prior calendar year and such accounting shall reflect Tenant's Share of Expenses. If the Additional Rent paid by Tenant under this Section 4(c)(3) during the preceding calendar year was less than the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Expenses, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the term of this Lease has expired or this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant's receipt of this notice. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to contest the amount due, failure to so notify Landlord shall represent final determination of Tenant's Share of Expenses. If Tenant's payments were greater than the actual amount, then such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to Tenant's Share of Expenses due under this Section 4(c)(3). If such overpayment is determined after termination of this Lease, then such overpayment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the annual expense statement is completed with deduction of any remaining sums owed by Tenant to Landlord. 4) RENT WITHOUT OFFSET AND LATE CHARGE. As used herein, "Rent" shall mean all monetary sums due from Tenant to Landlord. All Base Monthly Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without prior notice or demand in advance on the first day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section 1, or such other place as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. Whether or not so designated, all other sums due from Tenant under this Lease shall constitute Additional Rent, payable without prior notice or demand when specified in this Lease, but if not specified, then within thirty (30) days of demand, during which time the parties will work to resolve any good faith disagreements on the amount due. All Rent shall be paid without any deduction or offset whatsoever except as otherwise specifically provided herein. All Rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America. Proration of Rent due for any partial month shall be calculated by dividing the number of days in the month for which Rent is due by the actual number of days in that month and multiplying by the applicable monthly rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent, Additional Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such cost being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any Rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received within five (5) business days of the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 5% of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and that the late charge is in addition to any and all remedies available to the Landlord and that the assessment and/or collection of the late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default. Additionally, all such delinquent Rent or other sums, plus this late charge, which are more than thirty (30) days past due, shall bear interest at the rate of 15 percent per annum. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $25.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all future payments of Rent or other sums due by money order or cashier's check. 5) REVIEW AND AUDIT RIGHT. Tenant shall have the right (no more frequently than once per calendar year) to review Landlord's books and records pertaining to Expenses for the prior year. Tenant may cause an audit of Landlord's books and records which will be conducted 7 by an independent certified public accountant designated by Tenant. If any such audit discloses Tenant overpaid its share of Expenses for any calendar year, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the overpayment within thirty (30) days after the results of the audit have been disclosed to both parties. If any such audit discloses that Tenant underpaid its share of Expenses during any calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the underpayment within thirty (30) days after the results of the audit have been disclosed to both parties. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant; however, if the audit shows Landlord overstated Tenant's share of expenses for the subject calendar year by more than five percent (5%) of the amount actually payable by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses of the audit within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant's notice of the amount due. Any review or audit of Landlord's books and records pertaining to Expenses shall occur at the office of the Building manager or at such other location in the Seattle Metropolitan Area as Landlord or its Building manager may designate and shall occur during the normal business hours of the Building manager, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant. The results of the audit and any information obtained by Tenant from the audit or Tenant's review of Landlord's books and records shall be kept confidential and not disclosed to any other person or entity, including any other tenant of the Building or the Project, except as required by court order or applicable law. 5. PREPAID RENT. Tenant shall, in addition to the payment of the first month's Rent as set forth in Section 4(a), pay to Landlord the prepaid Rent set forth in Section 1(n), and if Tenant is not in default of any provisions of this Lease, such prepaid Rent shall be applied toward Base Monthly Rent for the months set forth in Section 1(n). Landlord's obligations with respect to the prepaid Rent are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the prepaid Rent with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the prepaid Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's prepaid Rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said prepaid Rent. 6. DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit a security deposit as set forth in Section 1(l) with Landlord in the form of an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit from an acceptable financial institution. The form of the Letter of Credit and the terms under which it shall be extinguished is provided in Exhibit H, Form of Letter of Credit. If Tenant is in default, Landlord can use the Letter of Credit or any portion of it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant's default. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately restore the Letter of Credit to its full amount. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the security deposit to any Rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the security deposit. 7. USE OF PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1 and for no other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or with respect to the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises or the Project, except as provided in writing in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at its sole discretion, make such modifications, alterations, deletions or improvements to the Project as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without compensation or notice to Tenant as long as such modifications, alterations, deletions or improvements do not materially alter Tenant's use of its Premises. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations affecting the Premises and the Project, including, without limitation, any rules and regulations that may be attached to this Lease and to any reasonable modifications to these rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time. Tenant acknowledges that, except for Landlord's obligations pursuant to Section 13, Tenant is solely responsible for ensuring that the Premises comply with any and all governmental regulations applicable to Tenant's conduct of business on the Premises, and that Tenant is solely responsible for any alterations or improvements that may be required by such regulations, now existing or hereafter adopted. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything in the Premises that will in any way increase the premiums paid by Landlord on its insurance related to the Project or which will in any way increase the premiums for fire or casualty insurance carried by other tenants in the Project. Tenant will not perform any act or carry on any practices that may injure the Premises or the Project; that may be a nuisance or menace to other tenants in the Project; or that shall in any way interfere with the quiet enjoyment of such other tenants. Tenant shall not use the Premises for sleeping, washing clothes, cooking or the preparation, manufacture or mixing of anything that might emit any objectionable odor, noises, vibrations or lights onto such other tenants. If sound insulation is required to muffle noise produced by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant at its own cost shall provide all necessary insulation. Tenant shall not do anything on the premises which will overload any existing parking or service to the Premises. Pets and/or animals of any type shall not be kept on the Premises. 8 8.

Tenant shall not: (1) Produce, or permit to be produced, any intense glare, light or heat except within an enclosed or screened area and then only in such manner that the glare, light or heat shall not, outside the Premises, be materially different from the light or heat from other sources outside the Premises; (2) Create, or permit to be created, any sound pressure level which will interfere with the quiet enjoyment of any real property outside the Premises, or which will create a nuisance or violate any governmental law, rule, regulation or requirement; (3) Create, or permit to be created, any ground vibration that is materially discernible outside the Premises; (4) Transmit, receive or permit to be transmitted or received, any electromagnetic, microwave or other radiation which is harmful or hazardous to any person or property in, or about the Project; or (5) Create, or permit to be created, any noxious odor that is disruptive to the business operations of any other tenant in the Project. 9. SIGNAGE. All signing shall comply with rules and regulations set forth by Landlord as may be modified from time to time. Tenant shall place no window covering (e.g., shades, blinds, curtains, drapes, screens, or tinting materials) other than those installed per Exhibit C, stickers, signs, lettering, banners or advertising or display material on or near exterior windows or doors if such materials are visible from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent. Similarly, Tenant may not install any alarm boxes, foil protection tape or other security equipment on the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Any material violating this provision may be destroyed by Landlord without compensation to Tenant. Allowed tenant signage is provided for in Section 39, Tenant Signage, and Exhibit D, Signage Criteria. 10. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business operations as well as upon all trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, merchandise and other personal property in or about the Premises. 11. BUILDING PARKING GARAGE. x. XXXXX OF NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHT. Landlord grants to Tenant and Tenant's customers, suppliers, employees and invitees, a non-exclusive license to use up to 1.9 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises. The estimated number of parking spaces is set forth in Section 1(i). Landlord reserves the right at any time to grant similar non-exclusive use to other tenants, to promulgate rules and regulations relating to the use of such parking areas, including reasonable restrictions on parking by tenants and employees, to designate specific spaces for the use of any tenant, to make changes in the parking layout from time to time, and to establish reasonable time limits on parking. 10 b. LOCATION AND DESIGNATION. There shall exist within the Project a garage and surface parking area (collectively the "Garage"). Landlord shall issue to Tenant parking stickers, tags, or access cards (collectively referred to herein as a "Parking Permit") in a number equal to the number of allocated parking spaces specified in Section 11 (a) above. Each Parking Permit will authorize parking in the Garage for one (1) car, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week subject to modification as provided in this Section 11. Landlord may designate, subject to change from time to time, certain areas within the Garage within which each car may be parked, and Tenant shall observe such designations. Tenant shall observe all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time concerning the use of the Garage and shall supply such additional information relating to persons authorized to use the Garage as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time, including automobile license numbers related to each Parking Permit. All such rules and regulations will apply fairly and equally to all tenants. c. OPERATIONS. Landlord may maintain, at it's sole discretion, within the Garage or surface parking area, an area designated "visitor parking" which may be made accessible on an exclusive basis to visitors, clients and other invitees of Building tenants, including Tenant, on an hourly charge basis. Upon the Commencement of this Lease, the Garage shall be open to the general public during the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Building holidays. Landlord shall provide an access system to the enclosed portion of the Garage for use by Tenant during the periods the Garage is not open to the general public. Hours during which the general public will have access to the Garage shall be determined at Landlord's sole discretion and may be adjusted from time to time. d. CHARGES. The initial monthly charge for the Parking Permits to be provided Tenant by Landlord shall be the amount set forth in Section 1(i) of the Lease. Such rate shall be in effect upon the Commencement Date of the Lease, subject to adjustment during each year of the Lease term based upon comparable parking rates for similar buildings in the Lower Xxxxx Xxxx area (reflecting any applicable federal, state and local taxes and levies), however, in no event shall the rate set forth in Section 1(i) be increased for Tenant's allocated Parking Permits during the initial twelve (12) months of the Lease term and the rate during the second twelve (12) months of the lease term shall not be increased more than 5% above the rate set forth in Section 1(i). The above stated maximums on the percentage increase in rates shall not apply to any of Tenant's parking spaces associated with Tenant's expansion per Sections 34 or 35 of this Lease. Landlord shall maintain a parking validation system for use by tenant customers, clients and invitees. Tenant's monthly parking charge for all Parking Permits and the charges for all validated parking, if any, shall be billed to Tenant and shall be due as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after such billing. All hourly parking shall be priced comparably to the hourly parking rates charged by similar office buildings located in the area (reflecting any applicable federal, state and local taxes and levies). e. HOV. Parking stalls required by the City of Seattle for Vanpool, carpool and other high occupancy vehicle or transportation management programs established under a required transportation management plan for the Building will be allocated to each tenant based upon the proportionate share of Parking Permits assigned that tenant for the Building, and any such HOV Parking Permits shall be counted against Tenant's total Permit allocation pursuant to Section 11(a). 12. UTILITIES/SERVICES a. UTILITIES/SERVICES. Landlord shall cause public utilities to furnish electricity, gas, water and sewer utilized in operating all normal facilities serving the Premises; and to furnish Tenant during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises: (1) Hot and cold water at those points of supply provided for general use of Tenant in the Building; central heating and air conditioning in season and at such temperatures and in such amounts as are reasonably considered by Landlord to be standard for comparable buildings in the Lower Xxxxx Xxxx area. Tenant shall set operating hours for the Building, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. For purposes of this Lease in determining the estimated amount in Section 1(k), normal business hours for the Building, Common Areas and the Garage of the Project are estimated to be 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturdays, excluding holidays. Routine maintenance, painting and electric lighting service for all public areas and special service areas of the Building shall be provided as reasonably requested by Tenant. During other than normal business hours for the Building such services shall be provided upon request of Tenant, and if reasonably available, Tenant shall bear the entire cost thereof as Additional Rent. Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, including holidays and weekends, subject to Building security systems and procedures. (2) Janitorial service on a five (5) day week basis in accordance with the janitorial specifications attached hereto as Exhibit E (which standards shall be subject to reasonable modification by Landlord from time to time to reflect changes in the 11 industry). If Tenant requires janitorial service in excess of such established standards, and Landlord provides such service, Tenant shall pay any additional cost attributable thereto as Additional Rent. (3) Electrical facilities to provide sufficient capacity to serve the electrical power needs of Landlord's equipment servicing the Building and including up to 3.0 xxxxx per square foot of Tenant's Premises for convenience outlet loads and Tenant's miscellaneous equipment loads. In the event Tenant requires electrical service (e.g. the supply of power in a specific voltage or amperage configuration) other than what is provided by the Building to serve Tenant's equipment, and should the installation of such equipment require additional air conditioning capacity above that provided by the Building's standard system, then the cost of the installation and operation of the additional electrical service and air conditioning equipment, if any, shall be paid by Tenant. In the event Tenant desires any of the aforementioned services in amounts in excess of those required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 12(a) above, Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder the cost of providing such additional quantities. b. INTERRUPTION. Failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish any service, or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if an interruption of services for causes within Landlord's reasonable control materially impairs Tenant's ability to effectively use the Premises and if such interruption continues for more than three (3) consecutive days or ten (10) days out of twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall thereafter be entitled to xxxxx rent as to that portion of the Premises which cannot be used, until the service is restored. Should any of the equipment or machinery utilized in supplying the services described herein break down, or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, and shall have no claim for rebate or abatement of rent or damages, on account of any interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. If any interruption of services resulting from causes within the reasonable control of Landlord continues for thirty (30) consecutive days or more, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord at any time prior to the date on which the services are restored or the interference ceases to the extent Tenant can reasonably use and occupy the Premises for its intended purposes. With respect to an interruption of services which results from causes outside the reasonable control of Landlord, if such interruption of services continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, unless the interruption is caused by Tenant, or by repairs or alterations requested by Tenant or necessary because of acts or omissions of Tenant (or its agents or employees), the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall equitably xxxxx in proportion to the extent of the interference with Tenant's use of the Premises, commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period until the services are restored or the interference ceases to the extent Tenant can again reasonably use and occupy the Premises for its intended purposes, and if such interruption of services continues for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord at any time prior to the date on which the services are restored or the interference ceases to the extent Tenant can again reasonably use and occupy the Premises for its intended purposes. 13. MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall maintain, in good condition, the structural parts of the Premises, which shall include only the foundations, bearing and exterior walls (excluding glass), subflooring and roof (excluding skylights), the unexposed electrical, plumbing and sewerage systems, including those portions of the systems lying outside the Premises, gutters and downspouts on the Building and the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system servicing the Premises; provided, however, the cost of all such maintenance shall be considered "Expenses" for purposes of Section 4(c). Except as provided above, Tenant shall maintain and repair the Premises in good condition, including, without limitation, maintaining and repairing all walls, storefronts, floors, ceilings, interior and exterior doors, exterior and interior windows and fixtures and interior plumbing as well as damage caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed at the commencement of the term, except for reasonable wear and tear or damage caused by fire or other casualty for which Landlord has received all funds necessary for restoration of the Premises from insurance proceeds. 14. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises other than Tenant's initial Tenant Improvements per Exhibit F, or to the Project, including any changes to the existing landscaping, without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned for alterations not affecting structural elements or materially altering Building systems. If Landlord gives its consent to such alterations, Landlord may post notices in accordance with the laws of the state in which the premises are located. Any alterations made shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon expiration or termination of this Lease, except that Landlord may, on or before expiration of the term, elect to require Tenant to remove any alterations which Tenant may have made to the Premises. At the time Tenant submits plans for alterations to Landlord for Landlord's approval, Tenant may request that Landlord elect whether such alterations shall be removed at the termination of this Lease, and if so requested, Landlord shall make such election simultaneous with its approval of the alterations. If Landlord elects to require 12 removal of the alterations, then at its own cost Tenant shall restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the term or within 30 days after notice of its election is given, whichever is later. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant's alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations, shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications reasonably approved by Landlord. All work performed shall be done in workmanlike manner and with material (when not specifically described in the plans and specifications) of the quality and appearance customary in the trade for first-class construction of the type in which the Premises are located. All such construction shall be performed in a manner which will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the Project. Tenant shall pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises and the Project free and clear of all mechanics' liens which may result from construction by Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect against liens. Tenant will pay directly or reimburse Landlord for any reasonable cost incurred by Landlord in reviewing plans and/or monitoring construction. 15. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. a. INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (using legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and save Landlord and its property manager harmless from all claims, suits, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities and expenses (including Landlord's personnel and overhead costs and attorneys fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims, regardless of whether such claims involve litigation, but excluding consequential damages such as lost profits) resulting from any actual or alleged injury (including death) of any person or from any actual or alleged loss of or damage to, any property to the extent caused by (i) Tenant's occupation, use or improvement of the Premises, or that of its employees, agents or contractors, or (ii) any act or omission of Tenant or any subtenant, licensee, assignee or concessionaire of Tenant, or of any officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of Tenant, or of any such entity in or about the Premises. Tenant agrees that the foregoing indemnity specifically covers actions brought by its own employees. This indemnity with respect to acts or omissions during the term of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. 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 provided herein. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of casualties or accidents occurring in or about the Premises. LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8.b AND THIS SECTION 15 WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM. b. LANDLORD INDEMNITY. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15 or Section 16, Landlord shall indemnify, defend (using legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and save Tenant harmless from all claims, suits, losses, fines, penalties, liabilities and expenses (including Tenant's personnel and overhead costs and attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims, regardless of whether such claims involve litigation, but excluding consequential damages such as lost profits) resulting from any actual or alleged injury (including death) of any person or from any actual or alleged loss of or damage to, any property to the extent caused by the intentional misconduct or negligence of Landlord or of any employee or agent of Landlord in the Common Areas. Landlord agrees that the foregoing indemnity specifically covers actions brought by its own employees. This indemnity with respect to actions or omissions during the term of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity is specifically and expressly intended to constitute a waiver of Landlord's immunity under Washington's Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide Tenant with a full and complete indemnity from claims made by Landlord and its employees to the extent of their negligence. LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15 WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM. c. RELEASE. 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 defect in or failure of Project equipment; any failure to make repairs; any defect, failure, surge in, or interruption of Project facilities or services; any defect in or failure of Common Areas; broken glass; water leakage; the collapse of any Building component; or any act, omission or negligence of co-tenants, licensees or any other persons or occupants of the Building, provided only that the release contained in this Section 15.b shall not apply to claims for actual damage to persons or property (excluding consequential damages such as lost profits) resulting directly from Landlord's breach of its express obligations under this Lease which Landlord has not cured within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of such breach from Tenant or any of Landlord's negligent or willfull misconduct. d. LIMITATION ON INDEMNITY. In compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Lease, all provisions of this Lease 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 13 from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project, development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Premises, (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 on 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. e. DEFINITIONS. As used in any Section establishing indemnity or release of Landlord, "Landlord" shall include Landlord, its partners, officers, agents, employees and contractors, and "Tenant" shall include Tenant and any person or entity claiming through Tenant. 16. INSURANCE. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain commercial general liability and property damage insurance and products liability insurance with a single combined liability limit of $2,000,000, insuring against all liability of Tenant and its representatives, employees, invitees, and agents arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord may, from time to time, require modifications of the insurance coverages hereunder to reflect insurance coverages commonly provided in similar projects in the area. Commercial general liability insurance, products liability insurance and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of Section 15. Landlord and its management contractor shall be named as additional insured and the policy shall contain cross-liability endorsements. On all its personal property, at its cost, Tenant shall maintain a policy of standard fire and extended coverage insurance with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements and "all risk" coverage on all Tenant's improvements and alterations, including without limitation, all items of Tenant responsibility described in Section 13 in or about the Premises, to the extent of at least 90% of their full replacement value. The proceeds from any such policy shall be used by Tenant for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Tenant's improvements or alterations. All insurance required to be provided by Tenant under this Lease: (a) shall be issued by Insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises are located with a financial rating of at least an A IX status as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports; (b) shall be issued as a primary policy; shall be on an occurrence basis; and (d) shall contain an endorsement requiring at least 30 days prior written notice of cancellation to Landlord and Landlord's lender, before cancellation or change in coverage, scope or amount of any policy. Tenant shall deliver a certificate or copy of such policy together with evidence of payment of all current premiums to Landlord within 30 days of execution of this Lease. If Tenant fails at any time to maintain the insurance required by this Lease, and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days of written notice from Landlord then, in addition to all other remedies available under this Lease and applicable law, Landlord may purchase such insurance on Tenant's behalf and the cost of such insurance shall be Additional Rent due within ten (10) days of written invoice from Landlord to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery for loss or damage to property located within or constituting a part or all of the Building or the Project to the extent that the loss or damage is covered by (a) the injured party's insurance, or (b) the insurance the injured party is required to carry under this Article 16, whichever is greater. This waiver applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have their respective property insurers endorse the applicable insurance policies to reflect the foregoing waiver of claims, provided however, that the endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket waiver shall be acceptable. 17. DESTRUCTION. If during the term, more than 25% of the Premises or more than 10% of the Building are destroyed from any cause, or rendered inaccessible or unusable from any cause, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Lease by delivery of notice to Tenant within 30 days of such event without compensation to Tenant. If in Landlord's estimation, the Premises cannot be restored within 120 days following such destruction, the Landlord shall notify Tenant and Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivery of notice to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of Landlord's notice. If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall commence to restore the Premises in compliance with then existing laws and shall complete such restoration with due diligence. In such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but there shall be an abatement of Base Monthly Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses between the date of destruction and the date of completion of restoration, based on the extent to which destruction interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises. 18. CONDEMNATION. a. TAKING. If all of the Premises are taken by Eminent Domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the Premises and all Base and Additional Rent 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, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, a taking of any part of the Premises by Eminent Domain renders the remainder thereof unusable for the business of Tenant (or the cost of restoration of the Premises is not commercially 14 reasonable), the Lease may, at the option of either party, 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 shall be effective as of the date when Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Premises so taken. If this Lease is so terminated, all Base and Additional 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 proceeds issued from the taking governmental authority 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 and Additional 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, 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 and keep all compensation that may be recoverable by Tenant on account of any loss incurred by Tenant in moving Tenant's merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, provided, however, that Tenant may claim and keep such damages only if they are awarded separately in the eminent domain proceeding and not out of or as part of Landlord's damages. 19. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE. Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant's authorized representatives, employees, invitees, or guests) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In determining whether to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may consider any commercially reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the proposed subletting or assignment, including without limitation any of the following: (i) whether the clientele, personnel or foot traffic which will be generated by the business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is consistent in Landlord's reasonable opinion with the businesses of other tenants of the Building or the Project, (ii) whether the proposed assignee has a net worth and financial strength and credit record reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (iii) whether the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will violate or create any potential violation of any laws or a breach or violation of any other lease or agreement by which Landlord is bound. No assignment or sublease shall release Tenant from the obligation to perform all obligations under this Lease unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be voidable and at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law from one person to the other shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of at least 25% of the value of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase "controlling percentage" means ownership of and right to vote stock possessing at least 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for election of directors. The two proceeding sentences shall not apply to corporations the stock of which is traded through an exchange or over the counter. One half (1/2) of any rent received by Tenant from its subtenants or assignees in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and of any sums to be paid by an assignee to Tenant in which is attributable to the leasehold interest, prepayment of rent or "buying down" rent (less the costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with any such sublease or assignment) shall be paid to Landlord. If at the time of the proposed assignment or subletting, the Project is more than 15% vacant, then Tenant shall not charge less on the proposed assignment or subletting than 95% of the rents being charged by Landlord for similar spaces in the Project. For purposes of this Section 19, the term "similar spaces in the Project" shall mean similar as to (i) location of the floors(s) within the Project, (ii) views, (iii) types of tenant improvements and (iv) use. If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, $100 or Landlord's reasonable out of pocket attorney's fees incurred in connection with such request, whichever is greater. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 19, Tenant may sublet all or part of the Premises to its parent corporation, if any; any subsidiary corporation of Tenant or its parent corporation; or any corporation or other entity owned or controlled by Tenant, its parent corporation of any subsidiary of Tenant (each an "Affiliate"). Furthermore, Tenant may assign this Lease to any Affiliates, or to any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, provided the assignee's financial condition (i.e., net worth and liquidity) is comparable to that of Tenant immediately preceding the date of the assignment. No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through operation of law (including without limitation the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an 15 assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt party; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) if in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant. 20. TENANT DEFAULT. a. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (i) a failure to pay Rent, Additional Rent or other charge when due, provided that Landlord shall not exercise any of its rights under this Section 20(a)(i) until Landlord has given Tenant notice of such default and a cure period of five (5) business days from receipt of such notice, and Tenant has failed to pay such Rent, Additional Rent or other charge within such cure period provided that, with respect to sums due other than Rent and Additional Rent; (ii) abandonment and vacation of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for ten consecutive days while in monetary default under this Lease shall be conclusively deemed an abandonment and vacation); (iii) failure to perform any other material provision of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall not exercise any of its rights under this Section 20(a)(iii) until Landlord has given Tenant notice of such default and a cure period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, and Tenant has failed to cure such default within such cure period, provided further that if more than thirty (30) days are required to complete such performance, the cure period shall not be deemed to have run so long as Tenant commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion; or (iv) the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition in bankruptcy, including reorganization or arrangement, unless in the case of a petition filed against Tenant and the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease. The notices required by this Section 20 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and are not in addition to any such requirement. b. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant is in default. (These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law): Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. Upon termination of Tenant's right to possession, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (2) the worth of the amount of the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (3) any other amount, including but not limited to, expenses incurred to relet the Premises, court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's default. "The Worth," as used for Item (1) in this Paragraph 21 is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of 15 percent per annum. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. "The Worth" as used for Item (2) in this Paragraph 21 is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination of Tenant's right of possession. 21.

(hereinafter called "Tenant") and 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx LLC (hereinafter called "Landlord") are executing simultaneously with this Tenant Improvement Work Letter ("the Work Letter") a written Lease ("the Lease") for space in the building known as 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. As further consideration to entering into the Lease, Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to the following terms and conditions. I. LANDLORD WORK AT LANDLORD EXPENSE Landlord shall complete the Building Shell and Core in substantial accordance with Exhibit C, Building Shell and Core Outline Specifications (the "Landlord Work"). As used in this Lease, the "Delivery Date" shall be the date the Premises are sufficiently complete to allow Tenant to commence construction of Tenant's improvement work (the "Tenant Work") when Landlord has substantially completed (excepting punch list items and items that do not materially interfere with the construction of the Tenant Work) the following items of its Landlord Work, provided that in the event the Delivery Date is delayed due to Tenant Delay, then the Delivery Date shall be the date on which the Delivery Date would have occurred but for the Tenant Delay: A. Building fully enclosed and water tight, including the roof and permanent exterior walls. B. Power and lighting electrical service available as described in Exhibit C for distribution by the Tenant. C. There shall be satisfactory evidence that: 1. The balance of the Landlord Work can be completed prior to the Commencement Date; and 2. The Tenant's contractor has an opportunity to proceed efficiently with the Tenant Building Improvements, subject to a requirement of reasonable coordination and cooperation with Landlord's Shell and Core contractor. Tenant may begin the Tenant Work ahead of the above items being completed at Tenant's election provided that 1) Tenant acknowledges such action shall establish the Delivery Date, and 2) the Tenant's decision to begin the Tenant Work shall not interfere with the Substantial Completion of the Premises. Except as set forth above and as defined in Exhibit C, all work, improvements, finishes and/or equipment required by Tenant and/or specified in the approved Tenant Plans for the Premises shall be considered the Tenant Work. II. LANDLORD WORK AT TENANT EXPENSE Upon request by Tenant, Landlord will have certain Building Shell and Core work that exceeds the scope of the Landlord Work, as defined above, completed during the normal course of construction of the Building Shell and Core. This work shall hereinafter be referred to as "Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades." Once the scope of the Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades are known, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a budget for these Upgrades. All Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades, including the cost for same, shall be authorized in writing by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord on the same basis as the approval of Tenant's Plans (see III.A.4 below). All Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades shall be performed by Landlord's contractor under Landlord's supervision. III. THE TENANT WORK A. TENANT'S PLANS. Tenant shall employ an architect/space planner ("Tenant's Architect") as its architect to provide information to Landlord as necessary for the completion of Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades and to prepare architectural drawings and specifications for all layout and improvements to the Premises not included in the Landlord Work. Tenant shall also employ all necessary engineers (the "Tenant's Engineers") to prepare technical working drawings and specifications for all the Tenant Work, including structural alterations, mechanical and electrical work. All such drawings and specifications are referred to herein as "Tenant's Plans" and shall include the "Preliminary Plans", "M & E Working Drawings" and "Issued for Construction Documents" all of which are hereinafter defined. Tenant's Plans shall be in form and detail sufficient to secure all required governmental approvals and shall be completed on Auto-Cad (Version 14 or higher). -1- Tenant's Architect and Tenant's Engineers shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Xxxxxxxx Engineers and the XxXxxxxxx Company are hereby approved as Tenant's Engineers for mechanical and electrical engineering work. Other architects and engineers required in the course of Tenant's Plans will be as mutually approved. 1. PRELIMINARY PLANS. The "Preliminary Plans" shall be a schematic plan (1/8" scale) for the Premises showing interior partitions, a preliminary reflected ceiling plan, and rough locations and approximate quantities for, any plumbing fixtures and phone, data and electrical outlets. Locations for special structural and loading requirements in excess of those provided for in Exhibit C will be provided to Landlord prior to October 1, 1999. The cost of increasing the floor loads beyond those identified in Exhibit C, shall be a Shell and Core Tenant Upgrade. 2. MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERED WORKING DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS ("M & E WORKING DRAWINGS"). The Tenant Plans shall be engineered to provide for complete mechanical and electrical operating systems. Tenant shall contract with Tenant Engineers and cause them to prepare M & E Working Drawings showing complete plans for electrical and mechanical systems including but not limited to, life safety, automation, plumbing, and air cooling, ventilating, heating and temperature controls. Tenant shall use Landlord's engineers for this work: XxXxxxxxx & Co. (mechanical) and Xxxxxxxx Engineers (electrical). 3. ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. The "Issued for Construction Documents" shall consist of all drawings (1/8" scale) and specifications necessary to construct all Tenant Work in form and detail sufficient to secure all required governmental approvals and to demonstrate conformity with the Landlord's standards and quality. Tenant's Architect and Tenant's Engineers are responsible for having all mechanical, electrical, life safety and Tenant Work required structural drawings complete. 4. APPROVAL BY LANDLORD. Tenant's Plans shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall be entitled to withhold approval if the proposed plans and specifications (i) interfere with the structural integrity of the Buildings, (ii) overload the utility systems of the Buildings, (iii) violate any applicable laws or regulations, (iv) materially affect the architectural integrity of the Buildings, or (v) affect the future marketability of the Buildings. If Landlord disapproves of any of Tenant's Plans, Landlord shall advise Tenant in reasonable detail of required revisions and the reasons therefor. After being so advised by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly submit a redesign, incorporating the revisions required by Landlord, for Landlord's approval. If Tenant has reason to dispute any Landlord disapproval, then the parties shall meet within 5 days and attempt to resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve their differences as to Tenant's Preliminary Plans within 5 days after meeting, then either party may initiate an arbitration procedure by notifying the other Party of the need to submit their disagreements to binding and final arbitration by a mutually acceptable arbitrator with at least ten (10) years commercial office design experience. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within a period of ten (10) days of notice, then either party may request resolution by a single arbitrator before the American Arbitration Association, as set forth at the end of Lease Section 21. 5. SUBMISSION BY TENANT. Tenant shall submit Tenant's Plans to Landlord on or before the following dates: October 1, 1999: Structural floor load requirements. January 1, 2000: All remaining Tenant Plans. 6. PERMITS. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost and scheduling of the submission of Tenant's Plans, in a timely manner, for plan check by the City of Seattle and the obtaining of a building permit for the Tenant Work. B. TENANT IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION 1. Tenant shall be responsible for the construction of the Tenant Work in accordance with approved Tenant Plans. 2. Tenant shall, upon completion of Tenant's Plans, directly contract for the Tenant Work itself and request proposals from Landlord's general contractor, as well as other qualified tenant work general contractors working under the same building trade work rules as -2- Landlord's general contractor. The qualified list of such contractors shall be mutually approved by Tenant and Landlord. When a contract is executed between the selected contractor and Tenant, said contractor shall be referred to as "Tenant's Contractor." Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and Tenant's Contractor in the completion of the Tenant Work by responding to Landlord's and Tenant's Contractor's requests for information in a timely fashion and Landlord agrees to respond similarly to Tenant and Tenant's Contractor. 3. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a preliminary cost estimate for the Tenant Work and shall provide to Landlord a final pricing for the Tenant Work when received from Tenant's Contractor but not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the Tenant Work. 4. Tenant's construction contract with Tenant's Contractor shall be a guaranteed maximum price contract (the "Tenant Improvement Construction Contract") and shall contain a construction schedule (the "Tenant Improvement Construction Schedule") for construction of the Tenant Work. The guaranteed maximum price specified in the Construction Contract shall include all costs and fees for construction of the Tenant Work with the exception of any required governmental permit fees, professional fees and Washington State Sales Tax. To the extent Tenant obtains any construction warranties from the general contractor and/or any of the subcontractors performing any of the Tenant Improvement work, it shall assign such warranties to Landlord, to the extent assignable, and, in the event such warranties are not assignable, Tenant agrees to enforce such warranties on Landlord's behalf. C. SCHEDULE 1. Provided that Tenant meets the scheduled deadlines for preparation and approval of Tenant's Plans, the Delivery Date, subject to any Tenant Delay or Force Majure delay, shall be February 29, 2000. D. LANDLORD'S ALLOWANCE FOR TENANT WORK 1. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a total "Tenant Improvement Allowance" as provided in Section 31 of the Lease. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be applied first toward the costs relating to Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades, including applicable Washington State Sales Tax, then toward the construction of the Tenant Work shown on the final approved Tenant's Plans, including applicable Washington State Sales Tax. The maximum allowance for Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades and Tenant Work shall not exceed $30.00 (Thirty dollars) per Rentable Square Foot. 2. The Landlord shall pay the cost of the Tenant Work, up to the maximum allowance, directly to the Tenant as more fully described in Section IV below. E. TENANT DELAY 1. The term "Tenant Delay" shall include, but shall not be limited to, any delay in the occurrence of the Delivery Date or completion of Landlord's Work resulting from: a) Tenant's failure to perform any of its obligations with respect to the schedule dates contained herein or in the Lease, which actually results in a delay of the Delivery Date; or b) Any Tenant materials, finishes or installations called for on the Tenant Plans which are not readily available and, as a result, adversely affect the schedule; c) Any modification by Tenant to the Tenant's Plans that adversely affects the schedule; or d) Any Act by Tenant or its agents and contractors in installing any tenant fixtures or equipment that unreasonably delays the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises; or e) Any delay as a result of Section IV.B. Administration of Work, Changes, Additions or Alternations. -3- Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event that would otherwise cause Tenant Delay, provided that Landlord shall not be required to expend additional funds to mitigate Tenant Delay unless Tenant agrees in writing to reimburse Landlord for such costs. -4- F. LANDLORD DELAY The term "Landlord Delay" shall mean those construction events within the reasonable control of Landlord (i.e. excluding Tenant Delay, force majeure and actions for which Landlord is not responsible under this Exhibit F) to the extent such event causes: a) a material and unexpected interference with Tenant's construction of the Tenant Work and resulting delay in substantial completion of the Tenant Work, or b) a delay in substantial completion of the Building Shell and Core beyond the reference dates specified in Section 3 and this Exhibit F. Tenant shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event that would otherwise cause Landlord Delay, provided that Tenant shall not be required to expend additional funds to mitigate Landlord Delay unless Landlord agrees in writing to reimburse Tenant for such costs. G. COOPERATION The parties agree to use best efforts to cause each of their respective consultants, architects, engineers and contractors to cooperate with one another so that the Landlord Work and Tenant Work are promptly, diligently and efficiently constructed. H. PUNCH LIST Within twenty (20) days after Completion of the Building Shell and Core, Tenant shall supply to Landlord a written punch list setting forth readily apparent additional corrective non-warranty work to the Building Shell and Core which Tenant believes is required to be performed pursuant to the requirements of Exhibit C. Once Landlord has been provided with a punch list in accordance with the foregoing, and agrees with the content of the punch list, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of the punchlist take such measures as are necessary to correct such defective work. IV. ADMINISTRATION OF WORK A. LANDLORD REIMBURSEMENT 1. Landlord shall at the direction of Tenant either reimburse Tenant or directly pay Tenant's Contractor (up to the maximum amount of the Tenant Allowance remaining after reductions for Shell and Core Tenant Upgrades) for the Tenant Work on a monthly basis, within twenty (20) days after the receipt of a draw request from Tenant's contractor, accompanied by a signed Application and Certificate for Payment (in AIA format) from Tenant's Architect confirming that the work covered by such draw request has been completed to its satisfaction and setting forth, inter alia, the percentage of the Tenant Work completed to date. This payment request shall also be accompanied by partial conditional lien releases from Tenant's Contractor covering the Tenant Work performed and/or materials and labor supplied through the date of each application for payment and full conditional lien releases from each subcontractor and supplier which has at that stage completed its work and confirmation from Tenant that its general contractor is not in default and that the percentage of work completed on the draw request is accurate. The reimbursement shall be calculated on a percentage of completion basis less a retention as called for under the Tenant Improvement Construction Contract, but not less than five percent (5%). After completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the Tenant Work, Landlord shall either reimburse Tenant or directly pay Tenant's Contractor for the then unreimbursed balance of the allowance for the Tenant Work minus any mutually agreed holdback for uncompleted punch list items, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a schedule reflecting such costs, together with paid invoices supporting such costs, and satisfaction of all of the following conditions: a) Receipt by Landlord of a set of "as built" drawings for the Tenant Work and a copy of all warranties in effect with respect to such Tenant Work; b) Receipt by Landlord of a certificate from the Tenant's architect confirming that all Tenant Work have been performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, governing codes and ordinances and all punch list items, except mutually agreed items have been corrected; -5- c) Receipt by Landlord of reasonable evidence of payment by Tenant of all other costs, including extras and change orders, to its construction contract; d) The receipt of lien releases from the general contractor and all other persons who performed work on or supplied materials for use in or otherwise have lien rights with respect to the Tenant Work; e) Landlord's on-site review of the Tenant Work and its reasonable approval thereof; and f) Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises by the City or satisfactory evidence that said Certificate of Occupancy will be issued for the Premises within the said 30 day period; No payment shall be made while Tenant is in default under the Lease. If any payment is not made when due, interest shall accrue thereon at the rate provided in Section 20.b. of the Lease, but Tenant may not offset unpaid amounts against sums otherwise due Landlord under this Lease, absent a final judgment thereon. 2. If any lien is filed with respect to the Premises during the course of construction of the Tenant Work, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing describing the cause of the lien and, if lien is for reason other than nonpayment by Landlord, the Tenant shall remove or otherwise satisfy the lien. 3. If Tenant elects to have Landlord directly pay Tenant's Contractor per Section IV.A.1 of this Exhibit F, then Tenant shall provide Landlord evidence satisfactory that Tenant has funds sufficient to fund all amounts above the Tenant Allowance. B. CHANGES, ADDITIONS OR ALTERATIONS 1. TENANT REQUESTED CHANGES. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the work shown in the Tenant's Plans after Landlord's approval thereof (whether the result of governmental requirement or otherwise), Tenant shall promptly give Landlord a written description of the changes requested and submit to Landlord plans and specifications describing such change. Provided the plans and specifications are complete, Landlord shall expeditiously (but in no event longer than within five (5) days after receipt of the complete plans and specifications) review such plans and specifications and provide to Tenant written approval of proposed changes. Landlord's approval shall be governed by III.A.4. above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the costs of any Change Order relating to the Tenant Work shall be applied against the Tenant Work Allowance to the extent of any remaining balance thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to agree to or complete any Change Order if and to the extent any delay resulting or possibly resulting from the same jeopardizes the Delivery Date of the Premises, unless Tenant accepts total responsibility for such delay and reasonably compensates Landlord for such delay. 2. CHANGES DURING CONSTRUCTION (SHELL AND CORE TENANT UPGRADES AND TENANT WORK). Revisions to the Shell and Core Plans or Tenant Plans, if any, are to be accommodated by Field Change Orders. A "Field Change Order" is a document which outlines the scope of a requested change in the Work as defined by the Shell and Core Plans and Tenant Plans and bears the signature of Tenant and Landlord representatives approving such change in scope. All such plans, specifications, and Field Change Orders shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant prior to being executed or acted upon by the Landlord's or Tenant's Contractors. Landlord and Tenant shall be given 24 hours to respond without causing a Landlord or Tenant Delay unless otherwise specified in said Field Change Order. In the event the Field Change Order increases the cost of the Shell and Core or Tenant Work beyond the maximum Tenant Work Allowance, Tenant shall pay for the work per the terms of this Exhibit and the Lease. As for Tenant Work, Tenant shall pay its Contractor per the terms of the construction contract between the Tenant and its Contractor. -6- EXHIBIT G OPTION SPACE PERFORMANCE CRITERION Per Section 33 of the Lease, Tenant has the Option to Expand its Premises into the Building Three Option Space as defined in said Section 33.
