and effect and may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including, without limitation, the rights to recover Base Rent, Operating Costs,
Additional Taxes, and any other sum payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease
as they become due, for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to
possession of the Leased Premises, Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts
to re-let the Leased Premises, including any re-letting for the account of
Lessee, or the appointment of a receiver upon Lessor's initiative to protect its
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee's right
to possession. If Lessor re-lets the Leased Premises for the account of Lessee,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor each month during the balance of the term of this
Lease the following sums: (a) any rent deficiency arising from the re-letting of

of the Lessor.

harmless from all loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from any injury

any negligent act or omission of Lessee or any officer, agent, employee, guest,
invitee, or visitor of Lessee in or about the Leased Premises or the Building.
Lessor shall not be liable for any loss or damage to person or property
sustained by Lessee, or other persons, which may be caused by the Complex, or
improvements in the Complex or the Leased Premises, or any appurtenances

negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Lessee shall, at its own expense,
maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with an insurance company
acceptable to Lessor with such limits as may be acceptable to Lessor, but in no

damage, Lessor shall, in writing, notify Lessee of Lessor's intention to do so,
and during the period of such rebuilding and restoration, the rent shall be
abated in the same ratio as that portion of the Leased Premises rendered for the
time being unfit for

occupancy shall bear to the whole of the Leased Premises. If Lessor shall fail
to notify Lessee, as aforesaid, then this Lease shall, at the expiration of the
time for the giving of notice as herein provided, be deemed terminated, and all
rights of either party eliminated.

a first lien in favor of any institutional lender or other entity who ultimately
holds the first mortgage on the above described property, together with other
liens as may be deemed necessary by Lessor. Lessee agrees to execute at no

dates to which the rent has been paid, and either stating that to the knowledge

to any cause whatsoever. No temporary interruption or failure of such services

or strike or conditions or events not under Lessor's reasonable control shall be
deemed as an eviction of Lessee or relieve Lessee from any of Lessee's
obligations hereunder.

other from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any
loss from perils insured against under their respective fire insurance policies,
including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto, provided, however,
that this paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only
to the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance
coverage of Lessor or Lessee.
20. RENTAL ADJUSTMENTS.
20.1 Commencing on July 1st, 1999 and on July 1st of each year
thereafter, the Base Rent shall be adjusted to reflect any increase
in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban [CPI-U] for the Seattle,
Washington, Metropolitan area, as prepared by the United States
Department of Labor. For such purposes, a comparison of the published
index for the period ending most nearly on July 1st of each such year

20.2 Commencing on July 1, 1999 and for the balance of the Lease
Term, Lessee shall pay as additional rent the amount by which the
real estate taxes, LID payments and insurance premiums exceed those
charges incurred by Lessor during calendar year 1998 ("Base Year")

Commencement of the Second and Subsequent years
of the lease term, Lessor shall furnish Lessee a
written statement of the estimated operating
costs for the coming year, and a calculation of
rental adjustment due from the Lessee. That
amount shall be equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of
the Lessee's proportionate share of the amount,
if any, by which the estimated operating costs
exceed the Base Rent, which shall be added to the
monthly Base Rent payable by Lessee under this
Lease for each month during the coming year.
20.2.2 Within ninety (90) days after the close of each
year of this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to
Lessee a written statement setting forth the
actual operating costs during the preceding
Operating Year. If the actual Operating Costs for
any Operating Year exceed the estimated Operating
Costs paid by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to
Paragraph 20.2.1 for that Operating Year (or, in
the case of the Operating Year in which this
Lease commences, the Base Amount), Lessee shall
pay the amount of the excess to Lessor as
additional rent within thirty (30) days after
Lessee receives the written statement from
Lessor. If the statement shows actual Operating
Costs to be less than the amount paid by Lessee
to Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 20.2, then the
amount of the overpayment shall be paid Lessor to
Lessee within thirty (30) days following the date
of the statement, so long as all other
obligations of Lessee to Lessor are current. For
purposes of calculating the rental adjustment
pursuant to this paragraph, the actual Operating
Costs shall be deemed never to be below the Base
Amount and shall never serve to reduce the Base
Rent in Paragraph 3.
21. SIGNS AND ADVERTISING. Lessee shall not erect or install or otherwise
utilize signs, lights, symbols, canopies, awnings, window coverings or other
advertising or decorative matter on the windows, walls and exterior doors, or

obtaining approval of the City of Xxxxxx Island. Lessor shall have the right to
adopt reasonable rules, regulations and policies relating to the style and type
of said advertising and decorative matter which may be used by the tenants,
including Lessee, in the Building, and may change or amend such rules and
regulations from time to time as in its discretion it deems advisable. Lessee
agrees to abide by such rules, regulations and policies. At the termination of
this Lease, all such signs, lights, window coverings, symbols, canopies, awnings
or other advertising or decorative matter attached to or painted by Lessee upon
the Leased Premises, whether on the exterior or interior thereof, shall be
removed by Lessee at its own expense, and Lessee shall immediately repair any
damage or injury to the Leased Premises, and correct any unsightly condition,
caused by the maintenance and removal of said signs, etc.

terms and conditions as may be determined by Lessor. Only automobiles and
pick-up trucks shall be allowed to park. The driveways, walkways on parking lots

rent due under the provisions of this Lease, or for breach of any other
conditions or covenants contained herein, the prevailing party shall receive
reasonable attorney's fees, and all costs incurred. This agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington
without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

indefinite period of time on a month-to-month tenancy, which tenancy may be
terminated as provided by the laws of the State of Washington. During such
tenancy, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a rate of rental equal to one and one-half
(1-1/2) times the rent set forth herein, unless a different rate is agreed upon,
and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants, and conditions as herein
specified, so far as applicable.
27. NON-WAIVER. Neither the acceptance of rent nor any other act or
omission of Lessor after the happening of any event shall operate as a waiver of
any past or future violation, and any such acceptance of rent shall not stop
Lessor from promptly exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may
have under any term or provision of this Lease.
28. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. There are no verbal or other agreements that modify
or affect this Lease. This Lease supersedes any and all prior agreements

of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or any transfer in lieu of the
exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as to the
part so taken as of the date of the date of taking, provided that if Lessor, in
its discretion, elects to rebuild or replace any part of the Leased Premises
affected by the taking, then during the period of the rebuilding or replacement,
the taking shall be treated as temporary taking as to the part of the Leased
Premises to be rebuilt or replaced and shall be governed by the terms of
paragraph 31.2 below.
31.2 In the event of any taking, Lessor shall be entitled to any and
all compensation or awards which may be paid or made in connection
