2. Premises.
2.1 Agreement to Lease. Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant
and Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord the Premises consisting of the building
depicted on Exhibit A-1 (the "Building") and the real property on which the
Building is located as legally described on Exhibit A-2, including all parking
areas, accessways, driveways, and other improvements on such real property
(collectively, the "Property"). Unless required to do so by law or in order to
comply with the CC&Rs Landlord shall not alter or change the present
configuration and capacity of the parking areas, accessways and driveways on the
Property in any manner that would reduce the number of parking spaces or
materially impact Tenant's use of the Property without Tenant's prior written
consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Premises contain
approximately the RSF designated in Section 1. Subject to Landlord's reserved
rights herein, the Premises constitute the entirety of the Building. The
Premises, Building, and Property are part of a business park ("Business Park")
described in Section 1 above.
2.2 Contingency. This Lease is contingent on the
simultaneous execution and delivery of a written agreement between Landlord and
Catapult, Inc., in which the parties agree to terminate Catapult's rights to
possession and occupancy of the Premises.
2.3 Measurement. The Premises are deemed to contain the
number of RSF set forth above and such number shall be final and binding on the
parties for all purposes under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant accept the
foregoing calculation and no remeasurement shall be required or permitted
hereunder. Any actual measurement of the square footage or rentable square
footage of the Premises and Building shall not be relevant to or control the
calculation of Base Monthly Rent.
3. Term.
3.1 Initial Term. The initial term of this Lease ("Initial
Term") shall commence on the later of (a) the Commencement Date set forth in
Section 1, or (b) the date Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to
Tenant. The covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be effective as of the
mutual execution of this Lease notwithstanding the Commencement Date set forth
herein.
3.2 Expiration. The Initial Term shall expire on the
Expiration Date set forth in Section 1, unless sooner terminated or extended as
provided in this Lease. As used herein, "Term" shall mean the Initial Term and,
if Tenant validly exercises its Extension Option(s), any Extended Term.
3.3 Options to Extend Term. Tenant shall have two successive
options (each an "Extension Option") to extend the Term of this Lease for an
additional five (5) years each. Each such option may be exercised by Tenant only
by irrevocable written notice of exercise delivered to Landlord no later than
twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the first
Extended Term, as applicable. If Tenant does not deliver a notice of exercise by
the
3
4
appropriate date then the Extension Option(s) shall immediately terminate and be
of no further force or effect and this Lease shall terminate on the scheduled
Expiration Date. If Tenant does not exercise the first Extension Option then the
second Extension Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
Tenant's Extension Options shall be personal to Tenant and may not be exercised
by any assignee (other than a Permitted Transferee as defined in Section 17.3
which may exercise Tenant's Extension Options) or subtenant. Tenant may not
exercise either Extension Option if on the date of such notice Tenant is in
default (after any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period)
under this Lease. If Tenant becomes in default (after any required notice and
expiration of any applicable cure period) under this Lease after exercise of an
Extension Option but before the commencement of the Extended Term, Landlord may,
in addition to its other remedies under this Lease, elect to terminate such
extension by notice in writing to Tenant, whereupon the Term shall expire
without any such extension.
3.3.1 Upon such exercise, the parties shall be obligated under
all the terms and conditions of this Lease through the Extended Term, except
that (i) Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.3.2, (ii)
Landlord shall have no obligation to alter the Premises or pay any tenant
improvement or refurbishment allowance for the Extended Terms, and (iii) Tenant
shall not have any additional rights to extend the Term, except to the extent an
Extension Option remains to be exercised hereunder.
3.3.2 Base Monthly Rent during the applicable Extended Term
shall be equal to the then fair market rent (including periodic rent increases)
for the Premises determined in accordance with this Section; provided, however,
that in no event shall Base Monthly Rent during the Extended Term be less than
the Base Monthly Rent for the last month of the Initial Term or the first
Extended Term, as applicable. "Fair Market Rent" as of any date shall mean the
per-square-foot rental rate for a direct lease, including fair market expansions
or renewals, for space comparable to the Premises in their condition on the
Commencement Date, leased for a comparable term, with comparable uses, with
comparable quality shell and core construction, in comparable Class A office
projects in the Bothell Market Area, taking into consideration: location in the
Building or other building, extent of service provided or to be provided, the
ownership of the comparable space, the time the particular rate under
consideration became or is to become effective and any other relevant terms or
conditions. The parties intend that Fair Market Rent shall be determined as if
the Premises were then in the same condition as the Premises were in on the
Commencement Date of the Initial Term and Fair Market Rent shall not be
determined based on, or increased by or because of, any improvements or
alterations constructed or installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's sole
cost and expense nor shall it be determined based on or reduced by any tenant
improvement or refurbishment allowance.
3.3.3 At least six (6) months prior to the commencement of the
Extended Term, Landlord shall propose a Base Monthly Rent schedule for the
Extended Term. Failure on the part of Landlord to give such notice in a timely
manner shall not vitiate the right to require adjustment of Base Monthly Rent,
but such delay shall result in deferral of the adjustment to the date that is
ninety (90) days after the date of such notice. The parties shall negotiate in
good faith, but if they are unable to agree upon such Base Monthly Rent schedule
within thirty (30) days after the delivery of Landlord's proposal, Tenant may by
written notice demand arbitration within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice from Landlord of Landlord's determination of Fair Market Rent. If no
arbitration demand is delivered, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the
Fair Market Rent as determined by Landlord. If Tenant elects to arbitrate, then
unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the matter shall be submitted
to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the following paragraphs. The
date on which Tenant
4
5
gives its demand for arbitration is referred to in this Lease as the
"Arbitration Commencement Date".
3.3.4 Within fifteen (15) days after the Arbitration
Commencement Date, each party shall provide the other party with written notice
(a "Rent Notice") of its determination of Fair Market Rent. The matter shall
then be submitted for decision to a single arbitrator or a panel of three (3)
arbitrators selected in accordance with this Section 3.3.4. Each arbitrator
appointed under this provision shall be an MAI certified appraiser with at least
ten (10) years professional appraising experience (including recent experience
in the Bothell market) who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to
give testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction and
shall not have worked for or on behalf of either party during the three (3) year
period ending on the Arbitration Commencement Date. If Landlord and Tenant are
unable to agree on a single arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the
Arbitration Commencement Date, then each party shall select an arbitrator who
shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above, and so notify the
other party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty
(30) day period. The two arbitrators so chosen by the parties shall then appoint
a third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the date of the appointment of
the last appointed arbitrator. If the two arbitrators so chosen by the parties
are unable to agree on the third arbitrator within such fifteen (15) day period,
the third arbitrator will be appointed by the director (or the equivalent) of
the Seattle office of the American Arbitration Association upon the application
of either party. If either party fails to timely select its arbitrator and so
notify the other party in writing within the foregoing fifteen (15) day period,
and the other party timely selects its arbitrator, then the arbitrator selected
by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator for determining Fair Market
Rent. If a third arbitrator is selected, then the decision by a majority of the
panel of three arbitrators shall determine Fair Market Rent pursuant to this
Section 3.3.
3.3.5 Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the
arbitrator pursuant to Section 3.3.4 above, the arbitrator or arbitrators shall
determine Fair Market Rent by selecting either the Fair Market Rent stated in
Landlord's Rent Notice or the Fair Market Rent stated in Tenant's Rent Notice.
The determination of the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be limited to the sole
issue of whether the Fair Market Rent specified in Landlord's Rent Notice or
Tenant's Rent Notice is closest to the actual Fair Market Rent as determined by
the arbitrator or arbitrators. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall have no power
to average such amounts, modify the proposed rent schedules or to designate a
Fair Market Rent other than that specified in either Landlord's Rent Notice or
Tenant's Rent Notice.
3.3.6 Both parties may submit any information to the
arbitrator or arbitrators for consideration, with copies to the other party. The
arbitrator or arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent
authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to the determination
of Fair Market Rent or to conduct a hearing. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall
render his, her or their decision by written notice to each party. The
determination of the arbitrator or a majority of the panel of three (3)
arbitrators shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If there is
only one arbitrator then each party shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the cost of
the arbitration. If there are three arbitrators then each party shall pay the
cost of its own arbitrator and fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the third
arbitrator.
3.3.7 The award rendered in any such arbitration may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between
the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the City of
Seattle, Washington, in accord with the then-prevailing commercial arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor
5
6
for arbitration of commercial disputes except that the procedures mandated by
said rules shall be modified as set forth in this Section.
3.3.8 If Tenant elects to arbitrate and the arbitration is not
concluded prior to the first day of the Extended Term, then Tenant shall pay
Base Monthly Rent to Landlord commencing on the first day of the applicable
Extended Term in an amount equal to the Fair Market Rent specified in Landlord's
Rent Notice. If the amount of Fair Market Rent as determined by arbitration is
greater than or less than the Fair Market Rent specified in Landlord's Rent
Notice, then any adjustment required to correct the amount previously paid shall
be made by payment by the appropriate party within ten (10) days after such
determination of Fair Market Rent.
4. Construction of Premises: Early Possession: Delayed Delivery of
Possession.
4.1 As-Is. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in
their current "as-is" condition with all faults. Landlord shall not be required
to make any alterations or improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall be
responsible for installing its Tenant Improvements in the Premises in accordance
with Exhibit C and shall not begin construction until the terms and conditions
of Exhibit C have been fully satisfied.
4.2 Early Possession. If Landlord permits Tenant to occupy
the Premises prior to the Commencement Date set forth in Section 1, the
Commencement Date shall be such date of occupancy. Tenant's occupancy prior to
the originally scheduled Commencement Date shall be subject to all the
provisions of this Lease and shall not advance the Expiration Date.
4.3 Delayed Delivery. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises
are currently leased to Catapult, Inc. and that the lease between Catapult and
Landlord must be terminated before Landlord can deliver possession to Tenant.
Tenant understands and agrees that delays in terminating Catapult's rights may
result in extension of the scheduled Commencement Date. If Landlord for any
reason cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant at the Commencement
Date, (i) the Commencement Date shall be the date on which possession of the
Premises is delivered to Tenant, (ii) this Lease shall not be void or voidable,
nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom, (iii) the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed to the same extent
as the delay in the Commencement Date, (iv) the Expiration Date shall be
adjusted so that the length of the Lease Term remains as provided in Section 1,
and (v) Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgement setting
forth the adjusted Commencement Date and Expiration Date, provided, however,
that if the Commencement Date has not occurred by January 1, 2002, then either
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving notice to such effect to
the other party.
5. Rent.
5.1 Base Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base
Monthly Rent specified in Section 1 and the Additional Rent as set forth in
Section 8 and elsewhere in this Lease (the Base Monthly Rent and the Additional
Rent are collectively referred to as "Rent"). Rent shall be paid in advance, on
or before the first day of each calendar month of the Lease Term. Except as
expressly permitted herein, Rent shall be paid without prior notice, demand, set
off, counterclaim, deduction or defense and, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Lease, without abatement or suspension. As used herein,
"Additional Rent" shall mean all sums payable by Tenant hereunder other than
Base Monthly Rent.
6
7
5.2 Rent Commencement. Payment of Rent shall begin on the
Rent Commencement Date set forth in Section 1 (except as provided in Section 4).
Rent for any period during the Term that is less than one month shall be
prorated for the actual number of days in such period and Rent for the first
partial month shall be paid on the Rent Commencement Date.
5.3 Address for Payments. All Rent shall be paid to Landlord
at the address for rent set forth in Section 1, in lawful money of the United
States of America, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord
may from time to time designate in writing.
6. Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Prepaid Rent set forth in Section 1 which shall
be applied to the first full month's Base Monthly Rent falling due hereunder.
Within two (2) business days after Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall provide an irrevocable, fully assignable, and unconditional standby letter
of credit, issued by Imperial Bank (including any successor by merger or
consolidation that acquires substantially all of Imperial Bank's assets) or
another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord (and otherwise
meeting the criteria set forth herein) and with a term of at least one (1) year
with automatic renewal provisions, drawable by Landlord upon demand, and
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Letter of Credit")
in an amount equal to One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($1,250,000), as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease (the "Security Deposit"). Landlord may draw upon
the Letter of Credit in whole or in part under the same terms and conditions as
Landlord may apply a cash security deposit as provided in Section 6.3 below. The
financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit (and any renewal or
substitute Letter of Credit) must have and maintain at all times total assets of
at least One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) and, in the event the financial
institution's total asset level falls below such amount, Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, provide a substitute letter
of credit from another financial institution with total assets at or above such
amount and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord acknowledges
that Imperial Bank does not meet such financial threshold but is involved in a
merger with Comerica Incorporated that will satisfy such threshold. If the
merger is not consummated, Landlord may request Tenant to provide a substitute
letter of credit from a qualified financial institution. In addition, Landlord
may draw upon the Letter of Credit after two (2) Business Days notice to Tenant
if Tenant fails to increase the Letter of Credit as required hereunder or if
Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a renewal or extension of the Letter of
Credit, in substantially the same form or another form acceptable to Landlord in
its sole discretion, for a term of not less than one (1) year at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration date of the existing Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to provide prior
notice to Tenant before drawing on the Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit
would expire during such notice period. It shall be deemed reasonable for
Landlord to reject a financial institution hereunder if such financial
institution is not acceptable to Landlord's lender; provided that Landlord's
current lender has indicated orally that it will not object to Imperial Bank.
6.1 Changes in Security Deposit Amount. Provided that (a) no
default (after any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period)
has occurred under this Lease at any time prior to such date, (b) Tenant is
generally paying its creditors as and when its debts mature and there are no
uninsured final or unbonded judgments against Tenant in excess of $500,000, and
(c) Tenant has achieved the financial milestones (the "Financial Milestones")
described in subsections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 for a period of no less than four (4)
consecutive fiscal quarters and in subsection 6.2.3 for the preceding fiscal
year then, at the beginning of each of the fourth (4th) through eighth (8th)
Lease Years, the Letter of Credit may be reduced according
7
8
to the schedule set forth below, provided that Tenant shall, at its expense,
provide a substitute Letter of Credit, in substantially the same form or another
form acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, for the adjusted amount. In
no event shall the Security Deposit be reduced below One Hundred Twenty-five
Thousand Dollars ($125,000).
Period Amount of Security Deposit
------ --------------------------
Commencement Date through 12/31/03 $1,250,000
1/1/04 through 12/31/04 $1,000,000
1/1/05 through 12/31/05 $ 750,000
1/1/06 through 12/31/06 $ 500,000
1/1/07 through 12/31/07 $ 250,000
Balance of Term $ 125,000
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant achieves the
Financial Milestones and reduces the Security Deposit, but later falls below the
Financial Milestones at any time then Tenant shall immediately increase the
Letter of Credit to the full One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($1,250,000) and the Security Deposit shall remain at such level until Tenant
has again achieved the Financial Milestones described in subsections 6.2.1 and
6.2.2 for a period of no less than four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters and in
subsection 6.2.3 for the preceding fiscal year. If Tenant subsequently achieves
the Financial Milestones for the required periods, Tenant may decrease the
Security Deposit to the sum otherwise permitted under the schedule set forth
above. Such increases and decreases in the Security Deposit shall continue
throughout the Term if Tenant thereafter meets or fails to meet the Financial
Milestones for the required periods. Tenant shall provide its unaudited
financial statements to Landlord on a quarterly basis and its audited financial
statements to Landlord on an annual basis as and when required under Section 36,
together with any explanation or supporting data necessary to substantiate
whether Tenant has achieved the Financial Milestones for such quarter or year.
Failure to provide such statements shall be a default hereunder.
6.2 Financial Milestones. Tenant's attainment of Financial
Milestones shall be measured using generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied as shown on Tenant's audited financial statements submitted
to the Securities and Exchange Commission. If Tenant changes its accounting
methodology then the Financial Milestones shall be renegotiated in good faith to
provide Landlord with comparable protections. The Financial Milestones are as
follows:
6.2.1 Tenant's Current Ratio of assets to liabilities
as reflected on Tenant's Balance Sheet shall be at least 2:1.
6.2.2 Tenant's net worth as reflected on Tenant's
Balance Sheet shall be equal to or greater than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000). As used herein, "Net Worth" shall mean as of any date, (i)
Tenant's aggregate tangible assets (tangible assets shall not include assets
such as goodwill, patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual
property rights, franchises or research and development), minus (ii) Tenant's
aggregate liabilities.
6.2.3 Tenant's Net Operating Income as reflected on
Tenant's Income Statement shall be not less than Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) for the preceding fiscal year. Net Operating
Income shall mean Net Operating Income as shown on the audited financial
statements plus interest income and depreciation expense less interest expense.
8
9
6.3 Use of Security Deposit. Tenant shall not assign or
encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, any part of the Security Deposit and
neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such
assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance.
Landlord shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant before
having recourse to the Letter of Credit or any cash security held by Landlord.
Recourse by Landlord to the Letter of Credit or other security shall not affect
any remedies of Landlord which are provided in this Lease or which are available
to Landlord in law or equity. In the event of a default by Tenant hereunder
(after any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period),
Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms. Landlord
may (but shall not be required to) use the Security Deposit or any portion
thereof to cure any defaults on the part of Tenant or to compensate Landlord for
any damage or costs Landlord incurs by reason of a default hereunder. In such
event, and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of
the Security Deposit so utilized by Landlord and the purpose for which such
amount was applied, Tenant shall immediately deposit with Landlord cash (or
shall provide an amendment to the Letter of Credit) in an amount sufficient to
return the Security Deposit to the full amount required under Section 6.1.
Within forty-five days after expiration of the Term or earlier termination of
this Lease (or such longer period of time as is needed to confirm the existence
of or cost to remedy any default), provided no default is then outstanding, the
Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, reduced by those amounts that may
be required by Landlord to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment
of Rent or otherwise, to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant and to
restore the Premises to the condition required by this Lease. Landlord shall
have no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit from its general funds or
to pay interest thereon. If Landlord conveys or transfers its interest in the
Premises, and as a part of such conveyance or transfer, assigns its interest in
this Lease and the assignee assumes Landlord's obligations hereunder, then
Landlord shall be released and discharged from any further liability to Tenant
with respect to the Security Deposit. Landlord shall provide a copy of the
assignment and assumption agreement upon Tenant's request.
6.4 Prepaid Rent. In the event this Lease is terminated
before the end of the Term for any reason except casualty or condemnation, any
Rent paid for any period after the date of such termination shall be treated as
an addition to the Security Deposit.
6.5 Landlord's Duty. Landlord's obligations with respect to
the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord may
maintain the security deposit separate from Landlord's general funds or may
commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. No interest shall
accrue for Tenant on the Deposit.
7. Use of Premises.
7.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises only for
the purpose set forth in Section 1 and for no other purpose without Landlord's
written consent. Tenant acknowledges that it has determined to its satisfaction
that the Premises can be used for those purposes. Tenant waives any right to
terminate this Lease in the event the Premises cannot be used for such purposes
during the Term.
7.2 Compliance With Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything therein
which will cause cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or
any part thereof or any of its contents.
9
10
7.3 No Nuisance; Garbage Removal. Tenant shall not do or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that will obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Business Park or
injure them or their property, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any
unlawful purpose or in any way constituting a nuisance. Tenant, at its sole
cost, shall remove any garbage on a regular basis. Tenant may store garbage in
the Premises or in exterior dumpsters approved by Landlord until it its removed.
7.4 Tenant's Repairs. Subject to Sections 10.1, 10.2, 15 and
16, Tenant agrees, at its sole cost, to maintain the Premises, all parts
thereof, all loading docks contiguous thereto and all Tenant's signs in good
order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, including keeping
the inside of all glass in doors and windows of the Premises clean, promptly
replacing any broken door or door closers and any cracked or broken glass with
glass of like kind and quality. Tenant shall maintain, repair, and replace as
and when necessary the mechanical systems (including HVAC) and all utility lines
within the Premises, including those beneath the slab and within the exterior or
demising walls, except to the extent such items are to be maintained, repaired
or replaced by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.1. Tenant shall not permit any
vibration and noise which may be transmitted beyond the Premises. When used in
this Lease, the term "repair" shall include making all necessary replacements,
renewals, alterations and additions. All repairs shall be at least equal in
quality to the original work and shall be made by Tenant in accordance with all
applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. Tenant shall enter into annual
service and testing/inspection contracts on the HVAC, elevator, fire and life
safety systems (the "Maintenance Contracts"). If Tenant fails to perform any of
its obligations under this Section 7.4, Landlord may, in addition to exercising
any other remedies provided herein, perform such repairs or maintenance. Any
sums expended by Landlord in performing such repairs or maintenance shall be due
and payable as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of
Landlord's written request for reimbursement, which request shall be accompanied
by reasonable evidence of such costs.
8. Additional Rent for Operation Expenses.
8.1 Tenant Payment. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent,
all Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses shall be payable on or before the
first day of the first full calendar month of the Term or upon the Commencement
Date, whichever first occurs, and on the first day of each successive calendar
month thereafter during the Term in the same manner as Base Monthly Rent.
8.2 Accounting Period. An accounting period is a calendar
year, except the first accounting period shall commence on the Commencement Date
and end on December 31 of the same calendar year. The last accounting period
shall end on the Expiration Date of the Lease Term. Annualized Operating
Expenses shall be prorated on a per diem basis for any accounting period that is
less than a full calendar year.
8.3 Adjustment. Landlord can adjust the Operating Expenses
at the commencement of each new accounting period throughout the Lease term,
whereupon Tenant's Additional Rent shall be adjusted accordingly. Prior to each
January 1 of the Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement of the
estimated monthly Operating Expenses for the coming calendar year. The estimated
monthly Operating Expenses for the period before the first January 1 after the
Commencement Date will be provided by Landlord to Tenant no later than 90 days
prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant,
revise its estimate of Operating Expenses from time to time.
10
11
8.4 Reconciliation. Within 90 days after each January 1
during the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant a written statement setting forth the actual Operating Expenses during
the preceding calendar year (or portion of such calendar year after the
Commencement Date). To the extent actual Operating Expenses exceeded the
estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent to
Landlord within 30 days after receipt of such statement by Tenant and to the
extent actual Operating Expenses were less than the estimated Operating Expenses
paid by Tenant, Tenant shall receive a credit against its next payable Rent or

sole discretion; provided, however, that as to the last accounting period Tenant
shall receive a refund at the time Landlord delivers such statement to Tenant.

8.6 Tenant Obligation. Landlord shall have the same rights
with respect to Tenant's nonpayment of Operating Expenses as required under this
Lease as it has with respect to any other nonpayment of Rent under this Lease.
9. Premises Maintenance and Services Obligations.
9.1 Premises Maintenance Obligations. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, Tenant shall be responsible for maintenance
and repairs to the Premises including the exterior and structural portions of
the Building as well as all building systems inside or outside the exterior

order, condition and repair. Tenant further agrees to maintain the Building and
the Property in a manner consistent with the CC&Rs.
9.2 Premises Services Obligations. Tenant shall provide or
cause to be provided, all services to the Premises, Building and Property,
including without limitation, janitorial, landscape and irrigation system

Services Obligations"). Tenant shall perform the Premises Services Obligations
in accordance with the highest standards of property management and in such a
manner as to maintain the Building and the Property in first class order,
condition and repair and in compliance with the CC&Rs.
9.3 Compliance. By no later than January 1st of each year,
Tenant shall prepare and present to Landlord and its property manager, an annual
plan showing in reasonable detail Tenant's proposed schedule for the Premises

any revisions to the plan reasonably requested by Landlord or the property
manager and shall follow the plan during the period covered by the schedule.
Tenant shall also provide to Landlord and its property manager for review and
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) all proposed
contracts with respect to the Premises Maintenance Obligations and the Premises
Services Obligations, including the Maintenance Contracts. All such contracts
(including the Maintenance Contracts) shall be assignable to Landlord in the
event Landlord takes over the Premises Maintenance Obligations and the Premises
Services Obligations and all warranties shall be for the benefit of Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord shall employ a property management company to oversee Tenant's
compliance with the foregoing provisions and all costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with such oversight shall be an Operating Expense. Upon commencement
of the Term and thereafter upon request by Tenant (but no more often that once
every two (2) years), Landlord shall request bids for property management
services from at least three (3) property management companies and Landlord and
Tenant shall work together to select a property manager considering all relevant
factors, including price, reputation and quality of service. If the property
manager selected by the parties advises Landlord that, in its reasonable
discretion it believes that Tenant is not properly performing the Premises
Maintenance and Services Obligations, Landlord may elect to perform such
obligations and all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith
(including increased property management fees) shall be included in Operating
Expenses in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 8.
9.4 No Landlord Default. So long as Landlord has not elected
to perform such obligations, Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to
perform the Premises Maintenance and Services Obligations. If Landlord elects to
perform the Premises Maintenance and Services Obligations, then Landlord shall
not be liable for any failure to perform such obligations except to the extent
such failure is due to Landlord's gross negligence or intentional misconduct and
continues for an unreasonable period of time after notice from Tenant and in no
event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for consequential damages.
9.5 Intentionally Omitted.
9.6 No Obligation to Alter. Except as specifically provided
elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to after,
remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or any part thereof.
Tenant affirms that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant about the
condition of the Premises or the Building, except as specifically herein set
forth.
9.7 Tenant Waiver. Tenant waives the right to make repairs
at Landlord's expense under any law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in
effect.
10. Structural and Utility Maintenance and Repair Responsibility.
10.1 Structural Repairs. Subject to the provisions of Section
15, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, maintain, repair and replace the roof
structure, all exterior and bearing walls, the floor slab and the foundation of
the Building ("Structural Repairs"). Landlord shall give reasonable advance
notice to Tenant of such repairs to the extent practical and feasible. In
addition, Landlord shall, as and when necessary, replace the roof, roof
membrane, Building exterior and the HVAC units (including related components)
and other capital items that (a) are reasonably expected to have a useful life
that extends beyond the Term, and (b) cost in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) (as adjusted upwards for inflation over the Term)
13
14
that are included within the Premises on the Commencement Date and the costs of
such replacements shall be an Operating Expense to the extent permitted under
Section 8.5. Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to any supplemental
HVAC equipment installed in the Premises by Tenant.
10.2 Utilities Repairs. Subject to the provisions of Section
15, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, maintain, repair and replace the
underground electrical, water, sewer and plumbing utility systems serving the
Building insofar as such utility systems are located outside the Building
between the public right of way and the Building, and the conduits and pipes or
wiring located therein and forming a part thereof, or Landlord shall cause the
utility purveyor to maintain, repair and replace the underground electrical,
water, sewer and plumbing utility systems serving the Building insofar as such
utility systems are located outside the Building between the public right of way
and the Building, and the conduits and pipes or wiring located therein and
forming a part thereof ("Utility Systems Repairs").
10.3 Tenant's Responsibility. To the extent that such
Structural Repairs or Utility Systems Repairs are necessitated in part or in
whole by the act, neglect, fault, or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its
agents, servants, employees, or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
reasonable costs of such Structural Repairs or Utility Systems Repairs, within
thirty (30) days after Landlord's submission of a reasonably detailed invoice
for the same, but only to the extent such costs were necessitated by the act,
neglect, fault or omission of any duty by the Tenant. Landlord shall not be
liable for any failure to make any such Structural Repairs or Utility Systems
Repairs, unless such failure shall persist after Landlord's receipt of written
notice from Tenant and beyond the cure periods set forth in Section 18.3.
11. Utilities and Services.
11.1 Tenant Responsibility. Tenant shall arrange for and
cause to be provided, at Tenant's expense, heat, light, water, sewer,
electricity, gas and any and all other utility services, including
telecommunications and data communications services, telephone service, cable
television service, satellite transmission service, if any, or computer cabling
or wiring. Tenant shall pay directly to the provider thereof or, if Landlord
pays for such services, then to Landlord as Additional Rent, prior to
delinquency, for heat, light, water, sewer, electricity, gas and any and all
other utility services supplied to the Premises and will pay any required
deposits therefor.
11.2 Failure of Services. If any utilities to the Premises
are interrupted or discontinued due to failure in those portions of the systems
to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to restore such utilities within a reasonable period of time
after learning of such interruption or discontinuance. If (i) any utilities to
the Premises are interrupted or discontinued solely due to a cause within
Landlord's reasonable control, (ii) Tenant shall have given written notice
respecting such interruption or discontinuance to Landlord, (iii) Tenant is
unable to use the Premises as a result of such interruption or discontinuance,
and (iv) Landlord fails to make reasonable efforts to cure such interruption or
discontinuance within five (5) consecutive days after receiving such notice or
such services are not restored within ten (10) days after the receiving such
notice, then Base Monthly Rent hereunder shall thereafter be abated until such
time as such utilities are restored. No eviction of Tenant shall result from any
such failure or interruption, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the
performance of any other obligation in this Lease because of such failure or
interruption.
14
15
12. Limits on Landlord's Liability. Landlord's liability in respect
of its obligations under Section 10 to repair and maintain portions of the
Premises and Building and to provide utility lines (collectively, "Repair and
Service Obligations") is subject to the following limitations:
12.1 Circumstances Beyond Landlord's Control. Landlord shall
not be liable for any failure of Repair and Service Obligations when such
failure is caused by (i) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor
dispute of any character, (ii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other
governmental action, (iii) inability despite the exercise of reasonable
diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel from the providers thereof, (iv)
acts of God or (v) any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control.
12.2 Landlord Liability. Except as provided in Section 11.2
and subject to Section 12.1, Landlord shall not be liable for any failure of
Repair and Service Obligations, unless such failure shall persist for an
unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or
maintenance or of the interruption of services is given to Landlord by Tenant.
Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to or interference with Tenant's
business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, or improvements in
or to any portion of the Building, the Premises, or the Property, or to
fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein, or the failure of Repair and
Service Obligations. Landlord shall not have any liability for any
inconvenience, annoyance, or disturbance resulting from the performance by
Landlord of its Repair and Service Obligations, except that Landlord shall be
liable for actual physical damage to Tenant's alterations, furniture, fixtures,
equipment and other property resulting from the gross negligence or intentional
misconduct of Landlord, or its agents, employees or contractors. Without
limiting the generality of this Section 12, in no event shall Landlord have any
liability for consequential damages resulting from any act or omission of
Landlord in respect of its Repair and Service Obligations, even if Landlord has
been advised of the possibility of such consequential damages. In no event shall
any third party be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this release.
Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, shall conduct its and their
activities on the Premises as allowed in this Section in a reasonable manner and
shall make reasonable efforts to minimize any inconvenience, annoyance or
disturbance to Tenant. At Tenant's request, Landlord shall perform its Repair
and Service Obligations after Tenant's normal business hours, provided, however,
that Tenant shall pay all overtime and other costs incurred by Landlord in
excess of the costs that would have been incurred by Landlord if Landlord had
performed its Repair and Service Obligations during Tenant's normal business
hours
12.3 Rent Abatement. Except as specifically provided in
Sections 11.2, 15 and 16, there shall be no abatement of Rent in any
circumstance under this Lease.
13. Improvement and Alterations.
13.1 Initial Tenant Improvements. Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, shall install its initial tenant improvements in the Premises
in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference.
13.2 Alterations and Additions by Tenant. Following
installation of the initial tenant improvements, Tenant shall not make any
additional improvements or alterations to the Premises without the prior written
consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may
be subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord deems necessary or
desirable. Any repairs or new construction by Tenant shall be done (a) at
Tenant's sole cost and expense in conformity with plans and specifications
approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed but may be subject to such reasonable conditions
15
16
as Landlord deems necessary or desirable, (b) by contractors approved by
Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be subject
to such reasonable conditions as Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and (c)
subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations regarding such
construction. All work performed shall be done lien-free in a workmanlike manner
and shall become the property of Landlord. Prior to commencing any work costing
more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or the supply or furnishing of any
labor, services and/or materials in connection with any such work, Landlord may
require that Tenant provide to Landlord, at Tenant's expense, a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to 150% of the estimated cost of any
improvements, additions, or alterations in the Premises.
14. Insurance; Indemnity.
14.1 Tenant Waiver. Except as provided in Section 14.3,
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims
against Landlord, for injury or damage to any person or property in or about the
Premises, Building, Property or Common Areas by or from any cause whatsoever,
including without limitation any acts or omissions of any other tenants,
licensees or invitees of the Building.
14.2 Tenant Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and defend
(using legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and hold
Landlord harmless, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability
and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) whatsoever that may arise out
of or in connection with Tenant's occupation, use or improvement of the
Premises, or that of its employees, agents or contractors, or Tenant's breach of
its obligations under this Lease. To the extent necessary to fully indemnify
Landlord from claims made by Tenant or its employees, this indemnity constitutes
a waiver of Tenant's immunity under the Washington Industrial Insurance Act, RCW
Title 51. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of the
Term.
14.3 Landlord Responsibility. The exculpation, release and
indemnity provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 shall not apply to the extent the
subject claims thereunder were caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. However, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for
consequential damages. Landlord shall indemnify and defend (using legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to Tenant) Tenant and hold Tenant harmless, from and
against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) whatsoever to the extent arising out of the gross
negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or
contractors, or Landlord's breach of its obligations under this Lease. To the
extent necessary to fully indemnify Tenant from claims made by Landlord or its
employees, this indemnity constitutes a waiver of Landlord's immunity under the
Washington Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51. This indemnity shall survive
the expiration or termination of the Term.
14.4 Tenant Insurance. Tenant shall procure and maintain
throughout the Term at Tenant's expense, the following insurance:
14.4.1 Commercial general liability insurance, insuring
Tenant against liability arising out of the Lease and the use, occupancy, or
maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance
shall be in the amount of not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit for
injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to
tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence (or in such amount as
Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion). Such policy shall insure the
operations of independent contractors and contractual liability (covering the
indemnity in Section 14.2) and
16
17
shall: (i) name Landlord and its property manager as additional insureds, (ii)
provide a waiver of subrogation endorsement with respect to Landlord, and (iii)
provide that it is primary and noncontributing with any insurance in force or on
behalf of Landlord.
14.4.2 "Causes of Loss - Special Form" property
insurance insuring against the perils of fire, vandalism and malicious mischief
and including extended coverage and coverage against sprinkler leakage. This
insurance policy shall be upon all personal property for which Tenant is legally
liable or that was installed at Tenant's expense, and that is located in the
Building or Premises, including without limitation all of Tenant's furnishings,
fixtures, furniture, personal property and equipment and all tenant improvements
and alterations installed in the Premises at Tenant's expense in an amount not
less than the full replacement cost thereof on an agreed amount basis with no
coinsurance. Tenant shall purchase insurance against risk of loss by earthquake
provided that such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.
Tenant's property insurance policy(ies) shall name Landlord and any mortgagees
of Landlord as insured parties, as their respective interests may appear. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord has recommended that Tenant purchase business
interruption coverage, covering direct or indirect loss of Tenant's earnings
attributable to Tenant's inability to use fully or obtain access to the Premises
or Building. Tenant may elect to purchase such insurance but in any event waives
any claim against Landlord from any cause of loss that would be covered by
insurance had Tenant purchased such coverage.
14.4.3 Xxxxxxx'x Compensation and Employees Liability
Insurance as required by state law.
14.4.4 Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant
or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to
time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant
would protect itself. As used in this paragraph, insurance shall be deemed to be
reasonable if it is of the type and in such amounts as commercial landlords
require in leases in the market area in which the premises are located for
premises used for the uses similar to Tenant's.
14.5 Policies. All policies of insurance to be obtained by
Tenant hereunder shall be in a form satisfactory to Landlord and shall be issued
by insurance companies holding a General Policyholder Rating of "A" and a
Financial Rating of "X" or better in the most current issue of Best's Insurance
Guide. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of such insurance. No
such policy shall be cancelable or reducible in coverage except after thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days
prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or
"binders" thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost
thereof to Tenant as Additional Rent.
14.6 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall procure and
maintain throughout the Term commercial general liability insurance adequate in
Landlord's judgment to cover (with commercially reasonable deductibles deemed
appropriate by Landlord) the risks customarily insured against by owners of
properties similar to the Building. Landlord shall also shall procure and
maintain throughout the Term "Causes of Loss - Special Form" property insurance
insuring against the perils of fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, and
including extended coverage, covering the Building and all permanent fixtures
and improvements therein on the Commencement Date in an amount not less than the
full replacement cost thereof. Landlord shall purchase insurance against risk of
loss by earthquake provided that such insurance is available on commercially
reasonable terms. The deductible on Landlord's property insurance policy shall
be no more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for perils other than
17
18
earthquake without Tenant's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Landlord and Tenant, each acting reasonably, shall mutually agree on the
deductible for earthquake damage. Landlord shall also shall procure and maintain
throughout the Term rent loss insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months
Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. The cost of all insurance required
hereunder shall be an Operating Expense.
14.7 Proceeds. The proceeds of any insurance policies
maintained by or for the benefit of Landlord shall belong to and be paid over to
Landlord. Any interest or right of Tenant in any such proceeds shall be subject
to Landlord's interest and right in such proceeds. The proceeds of any insurance
policies maintained by or for the benefit of Tenant shall belong to and be paid
over to Tenant, provided, however, that if Landlord is required to, or elects
to, restore the Premises or the Building pursuant to Section 15, then the
proceeds of any "Causes of Loss - Special Form" property insurance shall be held
in an interest-bearing trust account, shall be used by Tenant for the purpose of
restoring the tenant improvements installed by Tenant and shall be subject to
mutually acceptable disbursement procedures.
14.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant release each
other, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents,
from, and waive their entire claim of recovery for, any claims for damage to the
Premises and the Building and to Tenant's improvements, alterations, furniture,
fixtures, equipment and personal property that are caused by or result from
fire, lightening or any other perils normally included in a "Causes of Loss -
Special Form" property insurance policy whether or not such loss or damage is
due to the negligence of Landlord, its directors, officers, partners, employees
or agents, or of Tenant, or its directors, officers, partners, employees or
agents. Landlord and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to
provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of
subrogation against either party in connection with any damage covered by any
and all insurance policies maintained by either Landlord or Tenant under this
Lease.
14.9 Notice of Accidents. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any casualty or accident occurring in or about the Premises.
15. Destruction.
15.1 Obligation to Restore. If the Premises or the Building
is destroyed or damaged by fire, earthquake, or other casualty during the Term
to the extent that they are untenantable in whole or in part, and if (i) the
insurance proceeds available to Landlord equal or exceed the cost of such
restoration, (ii) in the opinion of a registered architect or engineer appointed
by Landlord such restoration can be completed within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the date on which Landlord obtains all permits necessary for such
restoration, and (iii) such restoration is permitted under then existing laws
and the CC&Rs to be done in such a manner as to return the Premises (including
only those fixtures and equipment insured under Landlord's property insurance
policy) and the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in
immediately before such destruction then such destruction shall not terminate
this Lease and Landlord shall act with reasonable diligence to restore the
Premises and the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in
immediately before such destruction. To the extent that the insurance proceeds
must be paid to a mortgagee under, or must be applied to reduce any debt secured
by, a mortgage covering the Property, the insurance proceeds shall be deemed not
to be available to Landlord unless such mortgagee permits Landlord to use the
insurance proceeds for such restoration. In all other instances, Landlord shall
have the right but not the obligation to rebuild and restore the Premises or the
Building or the damaged part thereof.
18
19
15.2 Right to Terminate. If the Premises or the Building is
destroyed or damaged by fire, earthquake, or other casualty during the Term to
the extent that they are untenantable in whole or in part, and Landlord is not
obligated under Section 15.1 to restore the Premises and the Building then
Landlord may, at its election, either (i) restore the Premises (including only
those fixtures and equipment insured under Landlord's property insurance policy)
and the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately
before such destruction, or (ii) terminate this Lease effective as of the date
of such destruction. Landlord shall within ninety (90) days after the date of
any destruction or injury notify Tenant whether Landlord intends to restore the
Premises. If Landlord does not give Tenant notice within ninety (90) days after
the date of such destruction of its election to restore the Premises and the
Building, then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Lease.
If the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged by fire,
earthquake, or other casualty during the Term to the extent that they are
untenantable in whole or in part, and Landlord is obligated to or elects to
restore the Premises and the Building and such restoration is not completed
within two hundred forty (240) days (as extended by any delay caused by force
majeure events) after the date on which Landlord obtains all permits necessary
for such restoration, then either Landlord or Tenant may, at its election within
sixty (60) days after the expiration of such period, terminate this Lease
effective as of the date of such destruction. If neither party makes any
election under the preceding sentence and gives the other party notice of such
election, then the parties shall be deemed to have elected to continue this
Lease and the parties' right to terminate this Lease shall be void and of no
further force or effect.
15.3 Rent Abatement. During the period from destruction or
damage until completion of restoration (or termination of this Lease), Rent
shall be abated in the same ratio as that portion of the Premises which Landlord
reasonably determines is unfit for occupancy shall bear to the whole Premises.
If damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its agents, employees,
invitees, or licensees, there shall be no abatement of Rent except to the extent
Landlord actually recovers lost rent under its rental insurance policy or could
have recovered such sums if Landlord fails to procure or to pursue recovery
under the insurance required under Section 14.6 above.
15.4 Restoration of Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall not
be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make
any repairs or replacements of any of Tenant's personal property, furniture,
equipment or tenant improvements installed by Tenant (all of which Tenant is
required to insure). Instead, if Landlord repairs or rebuilds the Premises under
this Section 15, Tenant shall repair, rebuild or replace all such tenant
improvements and other items of property to substantially the same condition as
they were in immediately before such destruction or damage. If Tenant is not
required to restore such items then the proceeds of Tenant's property insurance
shall belong to and be paid over to Tenant.
15.5 No Liability. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any
part of the Premises, the property of Tenant, or any inconvenience or annoyance
occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction, or restoration, except for
the rent abatement provided in Section 15.3 above.
16. Condemnation.
16.1 Total Taking. If all or part of the Premises are taken
under power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the
condemning authority takes possession.
19
20
16.2 Partial Taking. If more than 25% of the floor area of
Premises is taken by condemnation or sold under the threat of the exercise of
said power, Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice given to the other within
ten (10) Business Days after notice of such taking, terminate this Lease as to
the reminder of the Premises as of the date the condemning authority takes
possession.
16.3 Rent Abatement. If Landlord or Tenant does not so
terminate, this Lease shall remain in effect as to such remainder, except that
the Rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the rentable floor area taken
bears to the original rentable total floor area. In the event that neither
Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord's responsibility to
restore the remainder of the Premises shall be limited to the amount of any
condemnation award allocable to the Premises, as determined by Landlord.
16.4 Award. Tenant may not participate or appear in the
condemnation proceeding. Any award for the taking of all or part of the Premises
under the power of eminent domain, including payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power, shall be the property of Landlord, whether made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee or as severance damages. Landlord shall have the sole right to grant early
possession and use to the condemning authority prior to trial. Tenant waives any
right to claim from Landlord or from the condemning authority any compensation
for the value of the leasehold and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire
award for the Premises, the Building and the Property and Tenant assigns any
right it might have in such award to Landlord. Tenant shall not seek any
recovery for the value of the leasehold nor shall it seek to introduce evidence
as to the value of such leasehold in the condemnation action or in any equitable
proceeding to allocate the condemnation award between the parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant does not violate any of
its covenants under this Section and subject to the rights of Landlord's lender,
Tenant shall be entitled to recover the unamortized cost of any tenant
improvements, alterations and trade fixtures installed in the Premises by Tenant
at its sole cost and expense. The unamortized cost shall be determined by
reference to Tenant's financial records which have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant shall provide
documentation of such costs and of the value of the tenant improvements,
alterations and trade fixtures to Landlord upon request so that Landlord may
include such items in its request for compensation from the condemning
authority. If the total award is not sufficient to fully compensate Landlord and
Tenant then Tenant's share of the award shall be equal to (i) the unamortized
value of the items for which Tenant seeks compensation divided by (ii) the value
of the items for which Landlord and Tenant seek compensation, which fraction
shall be multiplied by (iii) the total amount of the award less all costs
incurred by Landlord to obtain the award. Tenant shall also be entitled to such
compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's
own right in a separate action for Tenant's moving expenses. Landlord shall not
be liable to Tenant for the loss of the use of all or any part of the Premises
taken by condemnation.
16.5 Exclusive Control. Landlord shall have the exclusive
authority to grant possession and use to the condemning authority and to
negotiate and settle all issues of just compensation or, in the alternative, to
conduct litigation concerning such issues; provided, however, that Landlord
shall not enter into any settlement of any separate award that may be made to
Tenant as described in Section 16.4 without Tenant's prior approval of such
settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

17. Assignment and Subletting.
17.1 Consent Required. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, either by operation of law or
otherwise, or permit any other party to occupy all or any part of the Premises
(each of which is referred to herein as a "Transfer"), without first obtaining
the written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed provided that Tenant satisfies all of the conditions of this Lease.
Tenant may not enter into a Transfer at any time when Tenant is in default
hereunder. This Lease shall not be assignable by operation of law. If Tenant
intends to enter into a Transfer, Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty
(30) days written notice of such intent. Tenant's notice shall set forth the
effective date of such Transfer and shall be accompanied by (i) an exact copy of
the proposed agreements between Tenant and the proposed transferee, (ii)
complete financial information regarding the proposed transferee, and (iii) a
description of the transferee's contemplated use of the Premises. If requested
by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (a) any additional information
or documents reasonably requested by Landlord relating to the proposed Transfer
or the transferee, and (b) an opportunity to meet and interview the proposed
transferee. Any Transfer without Landlord's consent shall be a default hereunder
and, in addition to any other right or remedies permitted hereunder shall be
voidable by Landlord, at its sole election.
17.2 Corporate Transfers. All of the following shall
constitute Transfers subject to this Article 17: (x) if Tenant is a corporation
that is not publicly traded on a nationally recognized reputable stock exchange,
then any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or any
direct, indirect or cumulative change in the ownership of, or power to vote the
majority of Tenant's outstanding voting stock, shall constitute a Transfer; (y)
if Tenant is a partnership, then a change in general partners in, or voting or
decision-making control of, the partnership shall constitute a Transfer; and (z)
if Tenant is a limited liability company, then a change in voting or
decision-making control of the limited liability company shall constitute a
Transfer. Any change in ownership of Tenant's parent of the type described in
(x), (y) or (z) above shall also constitute a Transfer subject to this Article
17. These provisions shall apply to any single transaction or any series of
related or unrelated transactions having the effect described.
17.3 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease at the time of
such transaction, Landlord's consent under Section 17.1 or otherwise shall not
be required for, and the provisions of Section 17.6 relating to division of
excess rent between Landlord and Tenant shall not apply to, any proposed
Transfer by Tenant under this Section 17 to any of the following (each of whom
shall be a "Permitted Transferee"): (a) a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenant; (b)
an entity with which or into which Tenant may merge whether or not the Tenant is
the survivor of such merger; or (c) any entity that is controlled by, controls
or is under common control with Tenant; provided, however, that any Permitted
Transferee under this provision (or, the Permitted Transferee and Tenant on a
consolidated basis if the Transfer is a sublease for less than all of the
Premises for less than all of the Term) must have and maintain a Net Worth (as
defined in Section 6.2 above) equal to or better than the greater of (i) the Net
Worth of Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease, or (ii) the Net Worth of
Tenant for the year prior to the Transfer. "Control" for purposes of this
Section 17 shall mean ownership of a majority voting interest in any such entity
or the possession, directly or indirectly of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the day-to-day management of the controlled entity. Tenant must
provide Landlord with at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any
Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, together with such evidence as Landlord may
reasonably request to establish that such Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee.
The rights under this Section are personal to Eden Bioscience Corporation and
21
22
may not be transferred or assigned to any other party other than a Permitted
Transferee but a series of transfers to Permitted Transferees may not be used to
evade the requirement for Landlord's consent under this Section 17.
17.4 Intentionally Omitted.
17.5 Consent. In deciding whether to consent to a proposed
Transfer that requires Landlord's consent, Landlord may consider any factors
that Landlord deems relevant, including but not limited to the following: (i)
whether the use of the Premises by the proposed transferee would be a permitted
use; (ii) whether the proposed transferee is of sound financial condition and
has sufficient financial resources and business expertise, as reasonably
determined by Landlord, to perform under this Lease; (iii) whether the proposed
transferee's use could involve the storage, use, treatment or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials not used by Tenant or in greater quantities than Tenant
uses; and (iv) whether the proposed use or the proposed transferee could cause
the violation of any covenant or agreement of Landlord to any third party.
Landlord may condition its consent to any proposed Transfer on such reasonable
conditions as Landlord may require including construction of any improvements
reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Landlord by reason of the
Transfer. Any improvements, additions, or alterations to the Building that are
required by any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or are reasonably deemed
necessary or appropriate by Landlord as a result of any Transfer hereunder,
shall be installed and provided by Tenant without cost or expense to Landlord.
Failure by Landlord to approve a proposed Transfer shall not cause a termination
of this Lease, and the sole remedy of Tenant shall be an action for injunctive
or declaratory relief.
17.6 Minimum Rental; Division of Excess Rent. In any Transfer
of this Lease (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), Tenant shall
seek to obtain from the transferee consideration reflecting the then-current
fair market rent for the space subject to such Transfer. Any rent or other
consideration realized by Tenant in connection with or as a result of any
Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) in excess of the Base
Monthly Rent payable hereunder, after first deducting all reasonable and
customary costs actually incurred by Tenant to effect such Transfer (such as
tenant improvements, brokerage fees, advertising costs and the like) shall be
divided equally between Landlord and Tenant and Landlord's share shall be paid
promptly to Landlord as Additional Rent; provided, however, that Landlord shall
be entitled to receive the total rent and other consideration if a default
(after any required notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) is
outstanding under this Lease until such default is cured.
17.7 Tenant Not Released. No Transfer by Tenant (including a
Transfer to a Permitted Transferee) shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under
this Lease and Tenant shall remain primarily liable hereunder. If the transferee
defaults, Landlord may, without affecting any other rights of Landlord, proceed
against Tenant or any transferee or any other person liable for Tenant's
obligations hereunder. Any Transfer that conflicts with the provisions hereof
shall be void. No consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall constitute a consent
to any other Transfer nor shall it constitute a waiver of any of the provisions
of this Article 17 as they apply to any future Transfers. Following any
Transfer, the obligations for which the Tenant or subsequent transferor remains
liable under this Lease shall include, without limitation, any obligations
arising in connection with any amendments to this Lease executed by Landlord and
the transferee, whether or not such amendments are made with knowledge or
consent of the transferor; provided, however, that Landlord shall not extend the
term of the Lease (except in connection with the Extension Options granted
herein) without Tenant's consent.
22
23
17.8 Written Agreement. Any Transfer must be in writing. With
respect to any assignment, the transferee shall assume in writing, for the
express benefit of Landlord, all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease,
provided that no such assumption shall be deemed a novation or other release of
the transferor. With respect to any sublease, the subtenant shall agree in
writing to comply with all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease with
respect to the use or occupancy of the space transferred and all insurance and
indemnity provisions provided that no such agreement shall be deemed a novation
or other release of the transferor. If this Lease is terminated, Landlord, at
its option, may elect to either (a) terminate any or all existing subleases or
(b) have such termination operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all
existing subleases. Tenant shall provide to Landlord true and correct copies of
the executed Transfer documents and any amendment thereto during the Term.
17.9 Expenses. Landlord may hire outside consultants to
review the Transfer documents and information. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
any request for consent under this Section 17 (even if consent is denied or the
request is withdrawn) and such reimbursement shall include the reasonable
allocated cost of Landlord's or its management company's staff plus all
out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, on demand.
17.10 No Restriction on Landlord. Without liability to Tenant,
Landlord shall have the right to offer and to lease space to any party,
including without limitation parties with whom Tenant is negotiating, or with
whom Tenant desires to negotiate, a Transfer.
17.11 No Leasehold Financing. Tenant shall not encumber,
pledge or mortgage the whole or any part of the Premises or this Lease, nor
shall this Lease or any interest thereunder be assignable or transferable by
operation of law or by any process or proceeding of any court or otherwise
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or
withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.
17.12 Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Revised Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C. Section 101, et seq., any
and all consideration paid or payable in connection with such assignment shall
be Landlord's exclusive property and paid or delivered to Landlord, and shall
not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant's estate in bankruptcy. Any
person or entity to whom the Lease is assigned pursuant to the Revised
Bankruptcy Act shall be deemed automatically to have assumed all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.
17.13 Sale by Landlord. In the event of any sale of the
Building or Property, or any assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord
shall be relieved of all liability under this Lease arising out of any act,
occurrence, or omission occurring after sale or assignment; and the purchaser or
assignee at such sale or assignment or any subsequent sale or assignment of
Lease, the Property, or Building, shall be deemed without any further agreement
to have assumed all of the obligations of the Landlord under this Lease accruing
after the date of such sale or assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except
in the event of a foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, Landlord shall
make good faith efforts to obtain from the purchaser or assignee a written
assumption of Landlord's obligations under this Lease and shall deliver a copy
of such document to Tenant upon request.
17.14 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of
this Section 17, this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties, their heirs, successors and assigns.
23
24
18. Default.
18.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of the Lease by Tenant
("Default"):
18.1.1 vacation or abandonment of all or any portion of
the Premises;
18.1.2 failure by Tenant to make any payment of Base
Monthly Rent or Operating Expenses as and when due or failure by Tenant to make
any other payment required hereunder within five (5) Business Days after notice
that such payment is due;
18.1.3 failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of
the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease, other than the making of
any payment, where such failure shall continue after twenty (20) days written
notice from Landlord; provided, however, that if more than twenty (20) days are
reasonably required to complete a cure, Tenant shall not be in default so long
as it commences cure within such period and diligently pursues completion within
a reasonable period of time thereafter;
18.1.4 the making by Tenant of any general assignment
or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) 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 the same is
dismissed within 30 days; (iii) 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; (iv) the seizure by any department of any
government or any officer thereof of the business or property of Tenant; and (v)
adjudication that Tenant is bankrupt.
18.1.5 Failure to provide the Security Deposit or
Letter of Credit as and when due or to increase the Security Deposit or Letter
of Credit if required hereunder.
18.1.6 Failure to execute and return any estoppel
certificate or subordination agreement required pursuant to this Lease within
the time limits set forth herein, and such failure is not cured within five (5)
business days after written notice of such failure.
18.2 Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of any Default by
Tenant (or event or occurrence which, with the passage of time, the giving of
notice, or both, would become a Default) that by its nature is not necessarily
known to Landlord.
18.3 Landlord shall be in default if it fails to observe or '
perform any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease, where
such failure shall continue after thirty (30) days written notice from Tenant;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance, Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
notice and thereafter completes such performance diligently and within a
reasonable time. Tenant shall copy Landlord's lender with any such notice of
default if Tenant has been provided with the name and address of any such
lender.
18.4 In no event shall a default by Landlord under this Lease
give rise to any right of Tenant to terminate this Lease. In no event shall a
default by Landlord under this Lease give rise to any right of Tenant to
withhold or offset the payment of Base Monthly Rent or
24
25
Additional Rent and such obligations shall continue unaffected in all events
unless suspended or terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.
19. Remedies in Default.
19.1 Remedies. In the event of any Default by Tenant,
Landlord may, at any time without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy,
do any one or more of the following: (i) re-enter and take possession of the
Premises, (ii) pursue any remedy allowed by law or equity, and/or (iii)
terminate this Lease.
19.2 Costs. Whether Landlord has elected to terminate this
Lease or not, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost of recovering possession of
the Premises, the expenses of reletting, and any other costs or damages arising
out of Tenant's Default including without limitation the costs of removing
persons and property from the Premises, the costs of preparing or altering the
Premises for reletting, broker's commissions, and attorneys' fees provided,
however, that the costs of preparing or altering the Premises for reletting
shall be amortized over the term of the new tenant's lease, and Tenant shall
only be liable to Landlord for the portion of such amounts attributable to the
period prior to the expiration of the Term.
19.3 Reentry. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises
by Landlord pursuant to this Section 19, or acceptance of Tenant's keys to or
surrender of the Premises shall be construed as an election to terminate this
Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.
19.4 Damages. Notwithstanding termination of this Lease and
reentry by Landlord pursuant to Section 18, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant:
19.4.1 The worth at the time of an award (including interest at
the rate set forth in Section 33.8), of any unpaid rent which had been earned by
Landlord prior to the time of termination; plus
19.4.2 The worth at the time of an award (including interest at
the rate set forth in Section 33.8), of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of an award
exceeds the amount of loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided; plus
19.4.3 The worth at the time of an award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the term of this Lease
(as extended, if at all prior to termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of
rent and additional rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided
(including interest at the rate set forth in Section 33.8 from the date of the
award until paid). Such worth of the time of award shall be computed at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or successor Federal
Reserve Bank, on the date of termination; plus
19.4.4 Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the damage proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom.
19.5 No Termination of Lease. No act of Landlord other than a
written declaration of termination of Lease shall serve to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding any reentry or termination, the liability of Tenant for the Rent
shall continue for the balance of the
25
26
Term, and Tenant shall make good to Landlord any deficiency arising from
reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than the Rent provided for in this
Lease. If Landlord reenters the Premises pursuant to this Section 19, and does
not elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss
of rent by a payment at the end of each month during the remaining Term
representing the difference between the Base Monthly Rent, and other charges
which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease and the rental actually
derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month. Separate actions may be
maintained by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages
which, at the commencement of any action, are then due and payable to Landlord
under this Lease without waiting until the end of the Term of this Lease.
19.6 Reletting. If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may at
any time, and from time to time, relet the Premises in whole or in part either
in its own name or as agent of Tenant for any period equal to or greater or less
than the remainder of the then-current Term. All rentals received by Landlord
from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any amounts other
than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any
costs and expenses of such reletting and of alterations and repairs; third, to
the payment of Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder;
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of
future Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Upon a reletting of the Premises,
Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any sums received by the Landlord
in excess of amounts payable in accordance with this Lease.
19.7 Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults. If Tenant defaults
under this Lease, Landlord may cure the default, at Tenant's expense,
immediately and without notice in case of emergency threatening harm to persons
or property, or in any other case only upon Tenant's failure to remedy such
default within twenty (20) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of
such default or, if more than twenty (20) days are reasonably required to
complete a cure, only if Tenant fails to commence cure within such period or to
diligently pursue completion within a reasonable period of time thereafter.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs of the cure with interest pursuant
to Section 33.8. Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as for the
nonpayment of sums due under this Section 19 as in the case of default by Tenant
in the payment of Rent.
20. Access. Tenant shall permit Landlord to enter the Premises at
all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting, altering, and repairing the
Premises and the Building and ascertaining compliance with the provisions of
this Lease by Tenant. The existence or exercise of such right of access shall
not be construed as imposing any obligation on Landlord to inspect, discover or
correct or repair any condition in the Premises or the Building. Landlord may
also show the Premises to prospective lenders and purchasers at reasonable times
during the Term and to tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or
at any time when Tenant is in Default, provided that (except in an emergency)
Landlord shall comply with Tenant's normal security procedures, including
signing-in before entering the Premises and wearing a badge provided by Tenant
while on the Premises and shall not materially interfere with Tenant's business
operation.
21. Hold-Over Tenancy. If without execution of a new Lease or
written extension Tenant shall hold over after the expiration or termination of
the Term, with Landlord's written consent, Tenant shall be deemed to be
occupying the Premises as a Tenant from month to month, which tenancy may be
terminated as provided by law, unless the parties agree otherwise at the time of
Landlord's consent. If Tenant shall hold over after expiration or termination of
the Term without Landlord's written consent, the Base Monthly Rent payable shall
26
27
be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable in the last
month prior to expiration or termination of the Term, and Tenant shall continue
to pay Additional Rent. During any such tenancy, Tenant shall continue to be
bound by all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, insofar as
applicable.
22. Compliance With Laws. Tenant shall not use the Premises or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way
conflict with any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule or
regulation, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act and
all regulations related thereto, and the CC&R's and any other restrictive
covenants and obligations created by private contracts which affect the use and
operation of the Premises, Building, Common Areas or Business Park, now or
hereafter in force ("Laws"). Landlord will not consent to any amendment of the
CC&R's which materially restricts or prohibits the use of the Premises for the
uses permitted herein without Tenant's prior written consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall at its sole cost and
expense promptly comply with all Laws and with the requirements of any board of
fire insurance underwriters, Insurance Service Office, or other similar bodies
now or hereafter constituted, relating to, or affecting the use or occupancy of
the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to cure any
existing violation of Laws unless cure is required as a condition to Tenant's
use of the Premises or because of any alterations that Tenant desires to make to
the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, whether
Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any Laws, shall be
conclusive of the fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
23. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall faithfully observe and
comply with any reasonable rules and regulations that Landlord shall from time
to time promulgate including but not limited to the rules attached hereto as
Exhibit D. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make all reasonable
modifications to such rules and regulations. Additions and modifications to
rules and regulations shall be binding on Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them
to Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of
any rules or regulations by any other person.
24. Parking. To the extent permitted by the CC&Rs and other
documents presently recorded against the Property, Tenant shall have the
exclusive right to use of all parking spaces located on the Property during the
Term without charge. Such use by Tenant shall comply with all Laws and shall be
subject to any reasonable rules and regulations that may be established by
Landlord and any rules and regulations established pursuant to the CC&Rs for
such parking facilities from time to time.
25. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall execute, within ten (10)
days following Landlord's request a certificate in such form as may be
required by Landlord or a prospective purchaser, mortgagee or trust deed
beneficiary, or Landlord's successor after a sale or foreclosure, certifying:
(i) the Commencement Date of this Lease, (ii) that the Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect, (or if there have been modifications hereto, that this
Lease is in full force and effect, and stating the date and nature of such
modifications); (iii) that to the best of Tenant's knowledge, there have been no
defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in
Tenant's statement, (iv) the dates to which the Base Monthly Rent, Additional
Rent and other charges have been paid, and (v) any other information reasonably
requested by the requesting party. Such certificate may be relied upon by
Landlord and/or such other requesting party. Tenant's failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in
full force and effect, without modification except to the extent represented by
Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's
27
28
performance under this Lease, and that not more than one month's Rent has been
paid in advance. Tenant's failure to deliver said statement within ten (10) days
of request shall constitute a default.
Landlord shall execute, within ten (10) days following Tenant's request
a certificate stating: (i) the Commencement Date of this Lease, (ii) that the
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or if there have been
modifications hereto, that this Lease is in full force and effect, and stating
the date and nature of such modifications); and (iii) the dates to which the
Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges have been paid.
26. Subordination. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be
subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deeds of trust or ground leases now or
hereafter placed against the Property or Building, and to all renewals and
modifications, supplements, consolidations, and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right however, to
subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such mortgage, deed of trust or
ground lease to this Lease. Upon a foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure under such mortgage or deed of trust, or a termination of such
ground lease, and a demand by Landlord's successor, Tenant shall attorn to and
recognize such successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall execute and
deliver on request and in the form requested by Landlord, any instruments
reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence, effect or confirm such
subordination provided that such agreement (i) shall provide Tenant's rights
under the Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under
the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) shall not materially
modify the Lease in any respect, (iii) shall not materially increase Tenant's
obligations or decrease Tenant's rights under the Lease. Should Tenant fail to
sign and return any such documents that comply with this Section or to provide
specific written objections to such documents stating in particular how the
documents fail to comply with this Lease within ten (10) days of request, Tenant
shall be in default.
27. Surrender; Removal of Property. Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, in
the same condition as when received, excluding ordinary wear and tear, the
effect of any taking by condemnation, and casualty damage that is not required
to be restored hereunder. On or before the expiration or termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall: (i) remove from the Premises all of its personal property,
including any furniture, fixtures, equipment and signage; (ii) remove from the
Premises any improvements or alterations installed by Tenant including all
fixtures, cabling and wiring, and (iii) restore the Premises to a clean, capped
and in good order shell condition compatible with general office use. Upon
expiration or termination of this Lease, any and all damage done to the Premises
as a result of Tenant's removal of any of the foregoing items shall be repaired
and the Premises restored, at Tenant's expense. In the event Tenant fails to
remove any of the foregoing items or to repair any damage occurring during such
removal, Landlord shall be entitled to remove any of the foregoing items and to
make such repairs, at Tenant's expense, and shall further be entitled to draw
upon the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to return any portion
of the Security Deposit until Tenant's obligations with respect to removal and
restoration have been satisfied and Tenant shall be considered a hold-over
tenant until such work is completed. All property of Tenant remaining on the
Premises after reentry or termination of this Lease shall conclusively be deemed
abandoned and may be removed by Landlord. Landlord may store such property of
Tenant in any place selected by Landlord, including but not limited to a public
warehouse, at the expense and risk of the owner thereof, with the right to sell
such stored property of Tenant without notice to Tenant. The proceeds of such
sale shall be applied first to the cost of such sale, second to the payment of
28
29
the cost of removal and storage, if any, and third to the payment of any other
amounts that may then be due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, and any
balance shall be paid to Tenant.
28. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency
all personal property taxes payable with respect to all property of Tenant
located on the Premises or the Building and promptly upon request of Landlord
shall provide satisfactory evidence of such payment. "Personal property taxes"
under this Section 28 shall include all property taxes assessed against the
property of Tenant, whether assessed as real or personal property.
29. Notices. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing.
Notices shall be effective (i) three (3) days after the date of mailing by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or (ii) when personally delivered, in
each case to the notice address(es) of the receiving party set forth in Section
1. Either party may change its address(es) for notices by notice to the other
from time to time. Any notice changing the address for rent payments shall be
effective only for rent payments due more than three (3) days after the
effective date of such notice.
30. Condition of Premises. By taking possession of the Premises,
Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition and
repair, and further accepts all aspects of the Premises, Building, Property and
Business Park in their present condition, AS IS, including latent defects,
without any representations or warranties, express or implied, from Landlord.
31. Hazardous Materials.
31.1 Restriction on Use. Tenant and Tenant's officers,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests,
invitees or visitors, or any assignee or sublessee or other person for whom
Tenant would otherwise be liable (individually, a "Tenant Party" and
collectively, "Tenant Parties") shall comply with all Environmental Laws (as
defined below) in connection with Tenant's or Tenant Parties use, production,
storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on, under or
about the Premises. The foregoing sentence is not intended to impose any
contractual liability on the Tenant Parties for Tenant's obligations under this
Lease. Tenant hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Premises, or any
portion thereof, by Tenant or any Tenant Party of the Premises or any portion
thereof, shall be in all material respects in compliance with all state, federal
and local laws and regulations governing or in any way relating to the
generation, handling, manufacturing, treatment, storage, use, transportation,
spillage, leakage, dumping, discharge or disposal (whether legal or illegal,
accidental or intentional) of any Hazardous Materials. Neither Tenant nor any
Tenant Party shall use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in or on the
Premises, the Building, the Project, or any adjacent property, or in any
improvements thereto, except for such Hazardous Materials as are essential to
the operation of Tenant's and Tenant Parties' business and reported to Landlord
not less often than annually, and then only in accordance with all applicable
laws and regulation. Tenant shall, and shall ensure that all Tenant Parties
shall, at all times comply with Environmental Laws and best industry standard
research, medical and safety practices in connection with the use, handling,
production storage or disposal of any Hazardous Material, including, but not
limited, to any Medical Products (as defined below), at Tenant's sole expense.
Tenant shall not without first obtaining Landlord's prior written approval,
generate, release, store, deposit, transport, or dispose of (collectively
"Release") any hazardous substances, sewage, petroleum products, hazardous
materials, toxic substances or any pollutants or substances, defined as
hazardous or toxic in applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations
("Hazardous Substances") in, on or about the Premises. In the event, and only in
29

the event, Landlord approves such Release of Hazardous Substances on the
Premises, such Release shall occur safely and in compliance with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

combination with other materials) due to its radioactivity, ignitability,
corrosivity, reactivity, explosivity, toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity,
phytotoxicity, infectiousness or other harmful or potentially harmful properties
or effects, including, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum products,

safety-related laws, regulations, standards, decisions of courts, ordinances,
rules, codes, orders, decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit

future relating to the environment or to any Hazardous Material (including,
without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Section 0000, xx xxx.), xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxx (Xx. 70.105D RCW) and the Washington Hazardous Waste

Premises.
31.1.3 As used herein, the term "Medical Products"
means all regulated substances, chemicals, compounds, drugs, blood, tissue,
organs, serums, organisms or part thereof (including genetic materials),
viruses, waste and other materials related thereto and used in connection with

31.1.4 As used herein, the term "Environmental
Condition" means any release or spill of any Hazardous Materials into the
environment, including surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, sewer
or storm water drain, land, soil, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient
air, where such release or spill is potentially in violation of Environmental
Laws or is required to be reported to the Washington State Department of Ecology
or other appropriate governmental authority.
31.2 Air Quality. Tenant and Tenant Parties shall design and
construct their Tenant Improvements, including any upgraded HVAC and plumbing
systems, using best available commonly used industry technique designed to
ensure that Tenant's and Tenant Parties' Hazardous Materials do not compromise
the air quality outside the Premises or in any space occupied by other tenants
(including Tenant's subtenants) or allow the possibility of water system back-up
into the Building or otherwise migrate to any adjacent space occupied by any
other tenant. In particular, Tenant shall use, and shall require Tenant Parties
to use best-available, commonly used industry techniques to prevent air mixing
from areas of potential contamination into other areas of the Building. Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses,
expenses, liabilities, penalties or costs arising
30
31
directly or indirectly from Tenant's or Tenant Parties' failure to isolate
building systems or to cause an Environmental Condition in areas of the Project
outside the Premises as a result of its design or construction of the Tenant
Improvements.
31.3 Reporting. Tenant shall deliver (or cause Tenant Parties
to deliver) to Landlord (a) prior to Lease execution, and (b) once each year on
or before January 1st during the Term, a list specifying the type and quantity
of all Hazardous Materials used or stored by Tenant or Tenant Parties on the
Premises together with copies of all permits, licenses and approvals required in
connection with the use or storage of such materials, together with Tenant's and
Tenant Parties' Hazardous Materials data safety sheets and any other
documentation with respect to Tenant's and Tenant Parties' usage, storage, and
disposal of Hazardous Materials that are required by the City of Bothell Fire
Department. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall respond, and shall cause
Tenant Parties to respond to any written request by Landlord for confirmation
whether there has been a significant increase, as evaluated in Tenant's
reasonable judgment, in the quantity of Hazardous Materials or change in the
type of Hazardous Materials utilized by Tenant or Tenant Parties, provided that
such request shall not be made more than once per calendar quarter. Tenant will
provide additional documents or information with respect to its and Tenant
Parties' Hazardous Materials within a reasonable period of time after receipt of
a specific written request from Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord
in writing of (i) any notices of violation or potential or alleged violation of
any Environmental Law which are received by Tenant from any governmental agency
or any Tenant Party; (ii) any and all inquiry, investigation, enforcement,
clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted or
threatened relating to the Premises; and (iii) all claims made or threatened by
any third-party against Tenant or a Tenant Party or the Premises relating to any
Hazardous Materials used by Tenant or a Tenant Party at the Premises. If any
Environmental Condition occurs that is or may be a result of Tenant's or any
Tenant Party's actions during the Initial or Extended Term, or if Tenant or any
Tenant Party has disposed of or caused a release of Hazardous Materials at, on
or about the Project other than in accordance with Environmental Laws, Tenant
shall promptly prepare or cause the Tenant Party to prepare a remediation plan
for Landlord's review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
provided, however, that Landlord shall not require any remediation in excess of
or to higher standards than would be mandated by applicable Environmental Laws.
Tenant's obligation to remediate any Environmental Condition shall not be
contingent on an enforcement action by any governmental authority and shall be
independent of any governmentally mandated remediation. If Landlord approves the
plan, then Tenant shall execute or cause the Tenant Party to execute the
remediation plan at Tenant's sole cost and expense (subject to such
reimbursement as Tenant may obtain from a Tenant Party). If the remediation plan
is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord or if Tenant fails to execute or cause
execution of the remediation plan within a reasonable period of time, then, at
Landlord's option, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the cost to
Landlord of performing rectifying work provided that such work is not in excess
of or to higher standards than would be mandated by applicable Environmental
Laws. The reimbursement shall be paid to Landlord in advance of Landlord's
performing such work, based upon Landlord's reasonable estimate of the cost
thereof; and upon completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any shortfall within thirty (30) days after Landlord bills Tenant
therefor or Landlord shall within thirty (30) days refund to Tenant any excess
deposit, as the case may be. To the extent reasonably requested by Landlord,
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with detailed reports concerning any Environmental
Condition which occurs on the Premises during the Term.
31.4 Inspection. After notice to Tenant and a reasonable
opportunity for Tenant to effect such compliance, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter upon the
31
32
Premises (including subleased Premises) and take such actions and incur such
costs and expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect
its interest in the Premises. However, Landlord shall not be obligated to give
Tenant notice and an opportunity to effect compliance if (i) such delay might
result in material adverse harm to Landlord, the Premises, the Building or the
Project; (ii) Tenant has already had actual knowledge of the situation and a
reasonable opportunity to effect compliance, or (iii) Landlord reasonably
believes that an emergency exists. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to
comply with Tenant's reasonable requirements with respect to security to the
extent such requirements have been provided to Landlord in advance. Whether or
not Tenant has actual knowledge of the release of Hazardous Materials on the
Premises, the Building, or the Project as the result of Tenant's or Tenant
Parties' use of the Premises, the Building or the Project, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
relating to such Hazardous Materials or in connection with such compliance
activities. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately of any release of any
Hazardous Materials on the Premises in violation of any Environmental Law of
which Tenant is aware.
31.5 Indemnity. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord against any and all losses, liabilities, suits, obligations,
fines, damages (including diminution in the value of the Premises or Building,
loss or restrictions on use of space in the Building or Project, and sums paid
in settlement of claims), judgments, penalties, claims, charges, cleanup costs,
remedial actions, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
and other professional fees and disbursements) that may be imposed on, incurred
or paid by, or asserted against Landlord, the Premises, the Building, or the
Project by reason of, or in connection with (i) any misrepresentation, breach of
warranty or other default by Tenant or any Tenant Party under this Section, or
(ii) the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party resulting in the
release of any Hazardous Materials. All of Tenant's obligations and liabilities
under this Section shall survive expiration or other termination of this Lease
and shall be separately enforceable by Landlord. This indemnification is
intended to constitute an indemnity agreement within the meaning of Section
9607(e)(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Section 9607(e)(i)). Neither the written
consent by Landlord to the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about
the Premises, nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws,
shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's obligation of indemnification pursuant
thereto.
31.6 Decontamination. Upon expiration or early termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense undertake and complete a
thorough wash and decontamination of those portions of the Premises that have or
may have been exposed to Hazardous Materials, including but not limited to
scrubbing of all surfaces, equipment, cabinets, fixtures and flume hood external
surfaces in the Premises, in order to remove all residues of Hazardous Materials
(including chemicals and biological material). Upon completion of such wash and
decontamination, Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, a reputable
environmental engineering company to perform an environmental inspection of the
Premises and prepare a written report for delivery to Landlord and Tenant no
later than thirty (30) days after Lease expiration or early termination,
certifying that the Premises are free from all Hazardous Materials.
31.7 Monitoring. At its option, Landlord may once in each
Lease year, and more frequently if Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that
a violation of Environmental Law or this Section 31 is occurring, monitor
Tenant's and Tenant Parties' compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section, including without limitation obtaining an environmental assessment of
the Premises from a qualified environmental engineering company of Landlord's
32
33
selection which has demonstrated industry related experience, the cost of which
shall be paid by Landlord unless such assessment shows a material failure by
Tenant or Tenant Parties to comply with the requirements of this Section, in
which case the cost shall be paid by Tenant. Any such environmental assessment
shall be performed at a reasonable time mutually acceptable to Landlord and
Tenant (and coordinated with Tenant Parties). Landlord shall provide a copy of
any written assessment to Tenant and, Tenant shall comply (and cause Tenant
Parties to comply), at Tenant's cost and expense (provided that Tenant may seek
to have Tenant Parties bear costs so long as the work is done), with any
industry-standard recommendations contained in any such environmental assessment
that Landlord may reasonably require including without limitation, any
recommended precautions which should be taken with respect to Tenant's or Tenant
Parties' activities on the Premises.
31.8 Survival. The provisions of this Section 31 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to any
occurrences during the Term.
32. Signs. Tenant shall not place upon or install in windows or
other openings or exterior sides of doors or walls of the Premises any symbols,
drapes, or other materials without the written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall
observe and comply with the requirements of all Laws. Tenant shall have the
right to install identifying signage on the Building and the monument sign
comparable to the signage on the Building and monument sign for Catapult, Inc.,
provided that such signage is permitted under applicable laws. Landlord shall
have the right to review and approve Tenant's proposed signage which shall be
included in Tenant's Plans pursuant to Exhibit C.
33. General Provisions.
33.1 Attorneys' Fees. In the event Landlord reasonably
requires the services of any attorney in connection with any default or
violation by Tenant of the terms of this Lease or the exercise by Landlord of
its remedies for any default by Tenant under this lease, or a request by Tenant
for Landlord's waiver of any terms of this Lease or extension of time to perform
or pay any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall promptly on
demand reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such
instance. In the event of any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding
(including proceedings in bankruptcy and probate and on appeal) brought to
enforce or interpret or other wise arising under this Lease, the substantially
prevailing party therein shall be entitled to the award of its reasonable
attorneys' fees, witness fees, and court costs incurred therein and in
preparation therefor.
33.2 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Any suit
arising from or relating to this Lease shall be brought in the county in which
the Premises are located, and the parties hereto waive the right to be sued
elsewhere.
33.3 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election under this
Lease shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with
all other remedies at law or in equity.
33.4 Exhibits; Addenda. Exhibits and Addenda, if any, affixed
to this Lease are a part of and incorporated into this Lease.
33.5 Interpretation. This Lease has been submitted to the
scrutiny of all parties hereto and their counsel, if desired, and shall be given
a fair and reasonable
33
34
interpretation in accordance with the words hereof, without consideration or
weight being given to its having been drafted by any party hereto or its
counsel. Tenant acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to be represented by
legal counsel during the course of such negotiations.
33.6 Joint Obligation. If there is more than one Tenant under
this Lease, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenants shall be joint and
several.
33.7 Keys. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises to Landlord at the place then
fixed for payment of Rent and shall inform Landlord of all combination looks,
safes, and vaults, if any, in the Premises.
33.8 Late Charges; Interest. Late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be
difficult and impractical to ascertain. Such costs include without limitation
processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent a late charge equal
to the greater of One Hundred Fifty ($150) or five percent (5%) of such
installment as liquidated damages for such late payment, other than for time
value damages. Waiver of said late charge with respect to any installment or sum
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent late
charge which may accrue. Payment of the Rent via Tenant's delivery of a check
returned for "Insufficient Funds" shall constitute the delinquent payment of
Rent and shall be subject to the late charge and interest provisions of this
Section. In addition, any Rent or other sums due under this Lease to Landlord
that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen (15%) per
annum or the maximum amount permitted by law if less, calculated from the date
due or expended until the date of payment. The existence or payment of charges
and interest under this Section shall not cure or limit Landlord's remedies for
any Default under this Lease.
33.9 Light, Air, and View. Landlord does not guarantee the
continued present status of light, air, or view in, to or from the Premises.
33.10 Name. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or
Business Park for any purpose other than as an address of the business conducted
by the Tenant in the Premises.
33.11 Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all of
the agreements of the parties with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in
this Lease, and no prior agreements of understandings pertaining to any such
matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be
amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties or
their respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not be effective or
binding on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.
33.12 Recordation. Landlord and Tenant shall execute and
record a short form memorandum of this Lease on Tenant's request only after
Tenant has taken possession of the Premises. Simultaneously with the execution
of such memorandum, Tenant shall sign and deliver to Landlord a quit claim deed
which Landlord may record when this Lease expires or terminates. Tenant shall
execute any further documentation necessary to remove this Lease from the public
records upon request and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any
loss, damage, cost or expense related to or arising out of the recordation of
such memorandum. Landlord understands that Tenant will have to file a copy of
this Lease with the Securities
34
35
Exchange Commission and that the entire Lease may become publicly available.
Except as set forth above, Tenant shall treat the contents of this Lease as
confidential information and shall not disclose the terms and conditions hereof
to other parties; provided, however, Tenant may disclose portions of the Lease
to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, architects, accountants, and
other consultants and advisors to the extent such persons need to know such
information provided such parties are first informed of the confidential nature
of such information and each such party agrees to treat the information as
confidential. In addition, the contents of this Lease may be divulged by Tenant
to the extent, but only to the extent, required by law or in any administrative
or judicial proceeding in which Tenant is required to divulge such information,
however Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to making such disclosure. Tenant
shall be responsible for any disclosure of this Lease in violation of the terms
of this Section made by any person who received this Lease or learns of its
terms and conditions, directly or indirectly, from Tenant.
33.13 Liability. Tenant recognizes that Landlord is a limited
partnership. Tenant expressly agrees, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, that each and all of the representations and agreements made by
Landlord are intended to bind only the Premises, the Building and the Property.
No personal liability or personal responsibility is assumed by, nor shall at any
time be asserted or enforced against, any of the managers, shareholders,
partners, directors, officers, employees or agents of Landlord on account of any
agreements of Landlord contained in this Lease and Tenant expressly waives any
right to proceed against the partners or the officers, directors, or
shareholders of any partner in Landlord, except to the extent necessary to
subject the assets of such partnership to such claim. If Landlord fails to
perform any obligation of Landlord under this Lease and as a result Tenant
recovers a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied
only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and
levied against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Property.
33.14 Severability. That any provision of this Lease is
invalid, void, or illegal shall in no way affect impair, or invalidate any other
provision of this Lease and such other provision shall remain in full force and
effect.
33.15 Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of
its provisions.
33.16 Waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to
have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in writing signed by such
party's duly authorized representatives. The waiver by either party of any
provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or
any other provision, in any subsequent instance. The acceptance of Rent by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default or breach
by Tenant under this Lease, whether known or unknown to Landlord, other than the
failure of the Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted.
33.17 No Waste. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste, damage or nuisance in or upon the Premises.
33.18 Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Tenant observes its
obligations under this Lease, its quiet enjoyment of the Premises throughout the
Term shall not be disturbed.
33.19 Construction. Words and phrases used in the singular '
shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. When the word "including"
is used in this Lease, it shall mean "including, but not limited to." Whenever
words such as "herein," "hereunder," etc., are
35
36
used in this Lease, they shall mean and refer to this Lease in its entirety and
not to any specific section, paragraph or other part of this Lease. The word
"person" includes any natural person, corporation, firm, partnership, limited
partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, unincorporated
organization, or other legal or business entity, however designated or
constituted. "Business day" means days when national banks are open in Seattle,
Washington. The caption of each section of this Lease is for convenience of
reference only, and in no way defines, limits or describes the scope or intent
of such section.
33.20 Force Majeure. Whenever a period of time is herein
prescribed for action to be taken by either party, said party shall not be
liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of
any such period of time, any delays due to ("force majeure"): strikes, riots,
acts of God, delay caused by the failure of a governmental agency to issue a
building or occupancy permit despite diligent pursuit thereof, shortages of
labor or materials because of priority or similar regulations or order of any
governmental or regulatory body, war, or any other causes of any kind which are
beyond the reasonable control of said party. Lack of funds or inability to
obtain financing shall not be an event of force majeure.
34. Rooftop Equipment. Landlord shall permit Tenant to install and
maintain at Tenant's sole expense communications equipment to be used solely for
communications from or to Tenant ("Communications Equipment") and HVAC equipment
serving the Premises on the roof of the Building in locations acceptable to
Landlord and in strict compliance with all applicable governmental laws and
regulations and Landlord's roof warranty. Landlord will not install any
communications equipment on the roof without Tenant's consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Communications Equipment may not be leased or hired
out to any third parties and shall not be used for commercial purposes unrelated
to Tenant's business conducted in the Premises. Landlord makes no warranties or
representations to Tenant as to the permissibility of any Communications
Equipment on the Building under applicable law. Tenant must remove the
Communications Equipment (including any related cabling or wiring) upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall be required to
obtain all governmental permits, consents or authorizations necessary for the
erection and operation of the Communications Equipment and rooftop HVAC
equipment. If installation of the Communications Equipment and rooftop HVAC
equipment requires any roof penetrations, Tenant shall use a contractor approved
by Landlord and shall cause such work to be done in a manner that will preserve
any roof warranty held by Landlord. The nature, design and specifications of any
rooftop HVAC equipment to be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant's insurance and
indemnification obligations shall apply to any rooftop installations made by
Tenant and any activities of Tenant in relation thereto.
Tenant's installation and use of the Communications Equipment may not in
any way materially interfere with the systems of the Building or the quiet
enjoyment of other tenants of the Building. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove
the Communications Equipment including any related cabling or wiring (and if
Landlord so directs, the rooftop HVAC equipment installed by Tenant and any
related duct work or wiring) and restore the Building to a condition comparable
to its condition immediately prior to the installation of such equipment
ordinary wear and tear, and damage by casualty not caused by Tenant, its agents,
employees, contractors or invitees, excepted. If installation, maintenance, use,
or removal of any equipment on the rooftop causes any damage to the roof or roof
membrane or any other portion of the Building, then Tenant shall be solely
responsible for such damage and shall ensure that the remaining useful life of
the roof is the same as it would have been but for the penetrations.

or mechanical systems of the Building or which adversely affect the availability
to Landlord of third party warranties. Tenant acknowledges that both the
compliance of the Tenant's Plans with all applicable regulations, laws,
