each calendar month of the lease term or any period prior or subsequent thereto
while Tenant is in possession of the premises. Rent for partial months shall be

Lease Information).
4. OPTION Owner grants to Tenant an option to renew the lease for two,
one (1) year terms immediately following the expiration of the initial term on
the same provisions that are in said lease, except with regard to the rental
rate, which will be mutually agreed upon but in any event no less than the
current rent being paid under said lease at the time of exercising this option
and no less than the then market rate in the area for comparable buildings, and
provided that the Tenant is in full and satisfactory compliance with the
provisions of this lease at the time that the notice of exercise of option is
given and that such notice is given in writing not less than six (6) months
prior to the end of the lease period.
5. USE The premises may be used and occupied only for the purpose as
set forth in Exhibit 1 (Basic Lease Information) and for no other purpose
without the written consent of the Owner. No use shall be made of the premises
nor act done in or about the premises which is illegal or unlawful, nor which
will result in any public or private nuisance. The Tenant shall observe such
reasonable rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Owner for the safety,
care, and cleanliness of the premises or building and the preservation of good
order therein,
including regulations relating to the use of any apparatus, machinery, or device
in the premises which shall cause any substantial noise or vibration.
Owner leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises
from Owner, together with the rights in common with others to use any portions
of the Property that are designated by Owner for the common use of tenants and
others.
Tenant shall not use or store any hazardous material on or about the
premises or the building without Owners approval which approval will be at
Owners sole discretion. The term "hazardous material" means any hazardous or
toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any federal,
state or other local governmental authority including, without limitation, any
material or substance which is designated as a "hazardous substance". Tenant
shall also comply with all rules and regulations for use, storage, and disposal
of any hazardous material.
6. CAPITALIZED COST Owner may choose to charge as additional rent any
amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts
or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made to the Property
which are: (1) performed primarily to reduce operating expense costs or
otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Property; or (2) required to
comply with any Laws that become effective, or first interpreted to apply to the
Property, after the date of this lease. The cost of capital improvements shall
be amortized by Owner over the lesser of the Payback Period or five (5) years.
7. OWNER SERVICES Owner and Tenant recognize that this Agreement to Lease
is a "Full Service Lease" (Gross Lease). Owner agrees to furnish Tenant with the
following services: (1) Water service for use in the lavatories on each floor on
which the Premises are located; (2) Heat and Air conditioning in season during
normal business hours, at such temperatures and in such amounts as are standard
for comparable building or as required by governmental authority. Tenant, upon
such advance notice as is reasonably required by Owner, shall have the right to
receive HVAC service during hours other than normal business hours. Owner will
have option to charge for the additional service; (3) Maintenance and repair of
the Property as described below; (4) Janitor service on Business Days. If
Tenant's use, floor covering or other improvements require special services in
excess of the standard service for the Building, Tenant shall pay the additional
cost attributable to the special services; (5) Elevator service; (6) Electricity
to the Premises for general office use, in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions as stated below; and (7) Such other services as Owner
reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property.
Tenant's use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in
voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Normal Business Hours or overall load, that
which Owner deems to be standard for the Building. If Tenant requests permission
to consume excess electrical service, Owner may (1) grant consent; (2) refuse to
consent; or (3) may condition consent upon conditions that Owner reasonably
elects (including, without limitation, the installation of utility service
upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and the additional
usage (to the extent permitted by Law), installation and maintenance costs shall
be paid by Tenant. Owner shall have the right, to, but not obligated to,
separately meter electrical usage for the Premises and to measure electrical
usage by survey or other commonly accepted methods.
2
All repairs necessary as a result of acts or negligence by Tenant,
its agents or invitees, to restore the premises, including public and common
areas of the building (such as lobby, stairs, landscaping, garage, corridors and
restroom) to a tenantable condition shall be done by or under the direction of
the Owner at the Tenant's expense.
Neither personal property nor material belonging to Tenant shall be
placed, stored, or deposited in or around hallways, corridors, washrooms, or
other facilities used in common by all Tenants of the building. Such common
areas shall be under the sole jurisdiction and control of Owner.
8. POSSESSION The Tenant agrees by taking possession of the premises that
such premises are tenantable and good condition and that the Tenant will take
good care of the premises and the same will not be changed without the written
consent of the Owner. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or
improvements to anything attached to the building without prior written approval
from the Owner, which approval shall be at the Owners sole discretion (this
includes changes to locks, plumbing, cabling or wiring). All Tenant improvements
including moves, additions or changes shall be made at the Tenant's sole cost
and expense. The Owner may make any improvements that it deems necessary for the
preservation, safety, or improvement of the premises or building. All
alterations, additions, and improvements except fixtures installed by the Tenant
that are removable without damage to the building shall become the property of
the Owner. The Tenant shall, upon termination of this lease, surrender and
deliver up the premises to the Owner in as good of condition as when received by
the Tenant from the Owner, reasonable use and wear excepted.
9. RIGHT OF ENTRY The Owner or its agent shall have the right to enter the
premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection and for the
purpose of cleaning, repairing, or improving the premises or the building; and
when reasonably necessary for such purpose, may close entrances, doors,
corridors, or other facilities without liability to the Tenant. The Owner shall
have the right to enter the premises for the purpose of showing the premises to
prospective tenants for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
expiration of the lease term.
10. DESTRUCTION A total destruction of the building shall terminate this
lease. In the event of a partial destruction by fire or other casualty, the
Owner shall make repairs if they can be completed within sixty (60) days after
the occurrence of such damage. Until such repairs are completed, rent shall be
abated to the extent the premises are unusable by the Tenant. If repairs cannot
be made within sixty (60) days, the Owner may, at its option, make them within a
reasonable time. Notice of such election shall be given by written notice to the
Tenant within thirty (30) days after occurrence of the damage. Upon receipt of
such notice, Tenant may elect either to continue tenancy at an abated rate or to
cancel this lease. If such notice is not given, then either party may, by
written notice to the other, cancel this lease.
11. SIGNAGE The Tenant shall not display any sign, notice, picture,
poster, or advertising matter whatsoever in or about the premises or building at
places visible from anywhere outside the premises without first obtaining the
Owner's written consent thereto.
12. INDEMNIFICATION Tenant shall defend and indemnify Owner and save it
harmless from and against any and all liability, damages, costs, or expenses,
including attorneys'
3
fees, arising from negligent act or omission of Tenant, or of the officers,
contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or
visitors of Tenant in or about the premises, to any person or property,
occurring in or about the premises, provided that the foregoing provision shall
not be construed to make Tenant responsible for loss, damage, liability, or
expense resulting from injuries to third parties caused by the negligence of
Owner, or of any officer, contractor, licensees, agent, servant, employee,
guest, invitee, or visitor of Owner. Owner and Tenant each release the other
from responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of recovery for (1) any
loss or damage to the real or personal property of either located anywhere in
the building and including the building itself, arising out of or incident to
the occurrence of any of the perils which may be covered by the fire and
lightning insurance policy, with extended coverage endorsement, in common use in
the Seattle locality, and policies covering any loss by theft or water damage,
or (2) loss resulting from business interruption at premises or loss of rental
income from the building, arising out of or incident to the occurrence of any of
the perils which may be covered by the business interruption insurance policy
and by the loss of rental income insurance policy in common use in the Seattle
locality; to the extent that such risks under (1) and (2) are in fact covered by
insurance, each party shall cause its insurance carriers to consent to such
waiver and to waive all rights of subrogation against the other party.
13. LIENS Tenant shall keep premises and the building free from any liens
or encumbrances arising out of any work performed by Tenant, materials furnished
by Tenant, or obligations incurred by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the
following events, Owner may terminate this lease by giving Tenant notice of its
election to do so: (1) if Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or
for reorganization under the bankruptcy laws, or is adjudged bankrupt by a court
of competent jurisdiction; (2) if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or (3) if a receiver is appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction for Tenant's business and it be established in the receivership
proceedings that Tenant is insolvent.
14. DEFAULT Except for a default under the preceding paragraph for which
immediate right of termination is given to Owner, if Tenant fails to pay any
installment of rent within ten (10) days after written notice, or to perform any
other covenant under this lease within thirty (30) days after written notice
from Owner stating the nature of the default, Owner may cancel this lease and
reenter and take possession of the premises using all necessary force to do so;
provided, however, that if the nature of such default other than for nonpayment
of rent is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)
day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within
such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to
completion. Notwithstanding such retaking of possession by Owner, Tenant's
liability for the rent provided herein shall not be extinguished for the balance
of the term of this lease. Upon such reentry, Owner may elect either (1) to
terminate this lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately pay to Owner a sum
equal to that by which the then cash value of the total rent reserved under this
lease for the balance of the lease term exceeds the then reasonable rental value
of the premises for the balance of the lease term; or (2) without terminating
this lease, to relet all or any part of the premises as the agent of and for the
account of Tenant upon such terms and conditions as Owner may deem advisable, in
which event the rents received on such reletting shall be applied first to the
expenses of reletting and collection, including attorney's fees and real estate
commissions paid, and thereafter to pay of all sums due or to become due Owner
hereunder. If a sufficient sum shall not be thus realized to pay such
4
sums and other charges, Tenant shall pay Owner any deficiency monthly, and Owner
may bring an action therefor as such monthly deficiency shall arise.
In the event of any such retaking of possession of the premises by
the Owner as herein provided, Tenant shall remove all personal property located
thereon and, upon failure to do so upon demand of Owner, Owner may remove and
store the same in any place selected by Owner, including but not limited to a
public warehouse, at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to pay
any sums due hereunder or the cost of storing any such property after it has
been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, Owner may sell any or all
of such property at public or private sale and shall apply the proceeds of such
sale first, to the cost of such sale; second, to the payment of the charges for
storage, if any; and third, to the payment of any other sums of money which may
be due from Tenant to Owner under the terms of this lease, and the balance, if
any, to Tenant.
Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by
Owner's lawfully reentering and taking possession of the premises or lawfully
removing and storing the property of Tenant as herein provided, and will save
Owner harmless from loss, costs, or damages occasioned by Owner thereby, and no
such lawful reentry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.
15. ATTORNEYS' FEES If either the Tenant or the Owner shall commence any
legal action involving matters arising out of this lease, including suit by the
Owner for recovery of rent or possession of the premises, the losing party shall
pay the successful party attorneys' fees and cost reasonably incurred by the
successful party in connection with such suit or action.
16. BREACH The acceptance of rent by the Owner shall not be a waiver of
any breach by the Tenant or any term or condition of this lease other than
failure of the Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of
Owner's knowledge of the breach, and the waiver of the Owner of any breach of
any condition herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such condition or any
subsequent breach thereof.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLET Tenant shall not assign this lease or sublet the
premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Owner,
which shall be at the sole discretion of the Owner.
18. SUBORDINATION This lease shall be subordinated to any first mortgage
or deed of trust heretofore or hereafter placed upon the building to any and all
advances made or to be made thereunder and to all renewals, replacements, and
extensions thereof. The Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser of the building at
any foreclosure sale under such encumbrance, provided the rights of the Tenant
hereunder are recognized by such purchaser. Within fifteen (15) days of
presentation, the Tenant shall execute and deliver any subordination or
nondisturbance agreement and any estoppel certificate requested by the Owner
certifying, if such be true, that the Tenant is in occupancy, the nature of the
modification to the lease, if any, and the dates to which rents and other
charges have been paid.
19. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN If the whole of the premises, or if
such portion of either the premises or the facilities in the building as may be
required for the reasonable use of the premises, shall be taken by virtue of any
condemnation or eminent domain
5
proceeding, this lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such
condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority,
whichever is earlier. Current rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such
termination. In case of a taking of a part of the premises or a portion of the
facilities in the building not required for the reasonable use of the premises,
then this lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the rental shall be
equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the rentable area of the
premises is reduced, such rent reduction to be effective on the date of such
partial taking. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned,
and Tenant hereby assigns to the Owner any award which may be made in such
taking or condemnation together with any and all rights of Tenant now or
hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to give Owner any interest in or to require
Tenant to assign to Owner any award made to the Tenant for the taking of
personal property or fixtures belonging to Tenant, for the interruption of or
damage to Tenant's business, or for Tenant's moving expenses.
20. NOTICE All notices required under this lease shall be in writing to
the addresses below stated or such other place as may be designated by either
party in writing.
21. PREMISES NAME The Owner intends to use the name "PEMCO Financial
Center" for the building but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
change such name.
22. OWNER RIGHTS TO TERMINATE The Owner herein reserves the right to
terminate and cancel this Lease Agreement should it decide to develop or sell
said premises. If the Owner exercises this right, the Owner agrees to give the
Tenant one hundred twenty (120) days written notice of its intent to develop or
sell said premises.
23. PREMISES SPACE ADJUSTMENT The Tenant and Owner herein understand that
from time to time it may be the desire to adjust the amount of square feet
(space) in said premises. The Tenant and Owner herein mutually agree to work
together to make any desired adjustments to the amount of space in said premises
providing that; 1) any request for additional space is subject to availability,
which shall be determined by the Owner; and 2) any request for a reduction of
space is subject to another user, acceptable to the Owner, assuming the
obligation of said space. Any adjustments will be in writing and all terms and
conditions of said Lease Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
25. OWNER STAFF USEAGE Tenant recognizes that the Owner has staff within
its Real Estate Department that provides various building maintenance,
construction, space design, vendor contracting and other facility related
services. It is agreed that any services and/or work to be performed in or about
the premises shall go through and be performed by the Owners Real Estate
Department, unless mutually agreed otherwise. The Owners Real Estate Department
will act in the best interest of both the Tenant and Owner.
27. BUILDING AGREEMENT This agreement shall be binding upon the Owner and
Tenant and their respective heirs and successors.
