TERM/PREMISES
(a) Term. The
Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date as set forth in
Article 1.A. of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall end on the Expiration
Date set forth in Article 1.A. of the Basic Lease
Provisions. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Lease Year"
shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, with
the first (1st) Lease
Year commencing on the Commencement Date; however, (a) if the Commencement
Date falls on a day other than the first (1st) day of
a calendar month, the first (1st) Lease
Year shall end on the last day of the eleventh (11th) month
after the Commencement Date and the second (2nd) and
each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first (1st) day of
the next calendar month, and (b) the last Lease Year shall end on the
Expiration Date. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant on or before the anticipated Commencement Date (as set forth
in Article 1.A above), Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its
failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease
nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, if during
construction of the Improvements in the Premises, Landlord and Tenant reasonably
determine that Substantial Completion of the Improvements in all of the Premises
will not occur on or before October 31, 2008, and Landlord
will promptly instruct Contractor to focus its efforts in such manner so that Tenant may occupy at least such portions of the Premises prior to October 31, 2008. Landlord and Tenant agree to reasonably work together, in good faith, to identify portions of the Premises within which the Contractor may focus its efforts in order to cause such portions to be in a condition which may be legally occupied by Tenant prior to October 1. If Tenant so occupies any portion of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease apply during the period of such occupancy and prior to the Commencement Date including, without limitation, Tenant's obligation to maintain insurance pursuant Article 14 below; however, (i) Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Basic Rental and any Direct Costs shall be prorated during such period based upon the number of rentable square feet so occupied by Tenant (and as to Basic Rental at the initial rate specified in Section 1(C) above), which payments shall be due within thirty (30) days after invoice, and (ii) the Commencement Date for this Lease shall not occur until the date specified in the definition of Commencement Date in Section 1(A) above occurs. Tenant's entry onto the Premises pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Tenant Work Letter to conduct its fixturization shall not constitute Tenant's conducting business in the Premises for purposes of the definition of Commencement Date.

Landlord and Tenant agree to reasonably work together, in good faith, to identify portions of the Premises within which the Contractor may focus its efforts in order to cause such portions to be in a condition which may be legally occupied by Tenant prior to October 1. If Tenant so occupies any portion of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease apply during the period of such occupancy and prior to the Commencement Date including, without limitation, Tenant's obligation to maintain insurance pursuant Article 14 below; however, (i) Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Basic Rental and any Direct Costs shall be prorated during such period based upon the number of rentable square feet so occupied by Tenant (and as to Basic Rental at the initial rate specified in Section 1(C) above), which payments shall be due within thirty (30) days after invoice, and (ii) the Commencement Date for this Lease shall not occur until the date specified in the definition of Commencement Date in Section 1(A) above occurs. Tenant's entry onto the Premises pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Tenant Work Letter to conduct its fixturization shall not constitute Tenant's conducting business in the Premises for purposes of the definition of Commencement Date.
(b) Premises. Landlord
and Tenant hereby stipulate that the Premises contains the number of square feet
specified in Article 1.B. of the Basic Lease
Provisions. Landlord may deliver to Tenant a Commencement Letter in a
form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit "C", which, if the
completed information therein is accurate, Tenant shall execute and return to
Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof. Failure of Tenant
to execute and deliver the Commencement Letter or object in writing to any
inaccuracy therein within such period shall constitute an acknowledgment by
Tenant that the statements included in such notice are true and correct, without
exception.
ARTICLE

RENTAL
(a) Basic
Rental. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term
hereof, at Landlord's office or to such other person or at such other place as
directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the
initial monthly sums as set forth in Article 1.C. of the Basic Lease
Provisions, payable in advance on the first (1st) day of
each calendar month, without demand, setoff or deduction, except as expressly
provided in this Lease, and in the event this Lease commences or the date of
expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first day or last day of a
calendar month, the rent for such month shall be
prorated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Basic Rental
for the second (2nd)
through and including the fifth (5th) months
of the initial Lease Term. During such abatement period, Tenant shall
still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations
under the Lease. If an Event of Default occurs that results in early
termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 20(a) of
this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Section 20 of this
Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized portion of
the monthly Basic Rental that was abated under the provisions of this
Article 3. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the first
(1st) full
month's Basic Rental shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with
Article 1.I. of the Basic Lease Provisions and, if the Commencement Date is
not the first day of a month, Basic Rental and Rental Tax for the partial month
commencing as of the Commencement Date shall be prorated based upon the actual
number of days in such month and shall be due and payable upon the Commencement
Date.
(b) Direct
Costs. Tenant shall pay an additional sum for each calendar
year during the Term equal to the product of the Tenant's Proportionate Share
set forth in Article 1.D. of the Basic Lease Provisions multiplied by the
amount of Direct Costs. In the event either the Premises and/or the
Project is expanded or reduced, then Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be
appropriately adjusted based on the ratio of the rentable area of the Premises
to the rentable area of the Project, and as to the calendar year in which such
change occurs, Tenant's Proportionate Share for such calendar year shall be
determined on the basis of the number of days during that particular calendar
year that such Tenant's Proportionate Share was in effect. In the
event this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the last day of a
calendar year, the additional sum payable hereunder by Tenant during the
calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the basis of
the relationship which the number of days which have elapsed from the
commencement of said calendar year to and including said date on which this Lease terminates bears to three hundred sixty-five (365). Any and all amounts due and payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than Basic Rental) shall be deemed "Additional Rent" and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and remedies upon default in these payments as Landlord is entitled to exercise with respect to defaults in monthly Basic Rental payments. Basic Rental and Additional Rent may be collectively referred to herein as "Rent". At the same time as any payment of Rent is to be made by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall also pay any and all rental taxes, gross receipts taxes, transaction privilege taxes, sales taxes, and/or similar taxes levied currently or in the future on the Rent amount then due or otherwise assessed in connection with the rental activity then occurring (collectively, "Rental Tax").(c) Definitions. As used herein the term "Direct Costs" shall mean the sum of the following:

State of Washington, any applicable county within the State of Washington, any
applicable city, town or other local government authority within the State of
Washington, and/or any other agency or political subdivision of the State of
Washington, and shall include Landlord's reasonable legal fees, costs and
disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings for reduction of Tax Costs
or any part thereof; provided, however, if at any time after the date of this
Lease the methods of taxation now prevailing shall be altered so that in lieu of
or as a supplement to or a substitute for the whole or any part of any Tax
Costs, there shall be assessed, reassessed or levied (a) a tax, assessment,
reassessment, levy, imposition or charge wholly or partially as a net income,
capital or franchise levy or otherwise on the rents, issues, profits or income
derived therefrom, or (b) a tax, assessment, reassessment, levy (including but
not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge
measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Real Property and imposed upon
Landlord, then except to the extent such items are payable by Tenant under
Article 6 below, such taxes, assessments, reassessments or levies or the
part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included in the term
"Direct Costs." Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tax Costs shall not
include any income, business and occupancy, capital levy, franchise, capital
stock, gift, transfer, real estate excise estate or inheritance tax, or any
interest, penalties or damages incurred for late payment of taxes or
assessments. If a tax or assessment is payable in installments, Tax
Costs applicable thereto for a year shall include only the amount of the
installment and any interest due and payable during that
year.
(ii) "Operating
Costs", which shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with the maintenance, operation, management and repair of the

including gardening, security, parking, operating engineer, elevator, painting,
plumbing, electrical, carpentry and window washing, (provided, however that to

cost of providing any service directly to and paid directly by any tenant
(outside of such tenant's Direct Cost payments) such as where a Tenant directly
contracts for electric power or other utilities with the local public services
company, provided that in each such case, Landlord shall have the right to
"gross up" such item as if such space was vacant; (2) the cost of any items
for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds (or would have been
reimbursed if Landlord maintained the insurance required to be maintained by
Landlord under this Lease), condemnation awards, a tenant of the Development

included within Operating Costs); (14) rentals and other related expenses

amortization and interest payments, except as specifically included in Operating
Costs pursuant to the terms of this Lease and except on materials, tools,
supplies and vendor-type equipment purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to

consistently applied, and when depreciation or amortization is permitted or required, the item shall be amortized over its reasonably anticipated useful life; (16) expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly but which are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Development, without charge; (17) costs incurred in connection with the operation of retail stores selling merchandise, specialty service facilities and restaurants in the Project or Development to the extent such costs are in excess of the costs Landlord reasonably estimates would have been incurred had such space been used for general office use; (18) costs (including in connection therewith all attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, judgments and/or payments in lieu thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential disputes in connection with potential or actual claims litigation or arbitrations pertaining to Landlord and/or the Project or Development, other than such claims or disputes respecting any services or equipment used in the operation of the Project or Development by Landlord; (19) costs associated with the operation of the business of the partnership which constitutes Landlord as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Project or Development; (20) costs incurred in connection with the original construction of the Project or Development; (21) costs of correcting defects in or inadequacy of the initial design or construction of the Project or Development; (22) costs incurred to (i) remove, remediate, contain treat or comply with laws relating to the removal of any "Hazardous Material," as that term is defined in Article 28 of this Lease, which was in existence on the Project or Development prior to the Commencement Date, and (ii) remove, remediate, contain or treat or comply with Laws relating to the removal of any Hazardous Material, which Hazardous Material is brought onto the Project or Development after the date hereof by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project or Development or other third party (provided, however, the cost of removal of de minimis amounts of Hazardous Material customarily found in office developments (such as cleaners, solvents, lubricants, parking lot runoff, etc.) as part of the general operation of the Development may be included in Operating Costs); (23) property management fees and other service fees to the extent they exceed the amount which would generally be expected to be the cost of such services rendered by comparably qualified, unaffiliated third parties; and (24) damages or penalties arising from Landlord's breach of any agreement or contract.
It is
understood that Operating Costs shall be reduced by all cash discounts,
rebates,. trade discounts, or quantity discounts received by Landlord or
Landlord's managing agent in the purchase of any goods, utilities, or services
in connection with the operation of the Project. Landlord shall make
payments for goods, utilities and services in a timely
manner. Landlord agrees to keep records of Operating Costs in
accordance with a system of accounts and accounting practices consistently
maintained on a year-to-year basis.
It is
understood that to the extent applicable all Operating Costs shall be calculated
by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or
otherwise in accordance with standard real estate accounting practices utilized
by institutional quality landlords in the State of Washington and reduced by all
cash discounts, trade discounts, or quantity discounts actually received by
Landlord or Landlord's managing agent in the purchase of any goods, utilities,
or services in connection with the operation of the Project.
In the
event, during any calendar year, the Project is less than ninety-five percent
(95%) occupied at all times, those components of Operating Costs that are
variable with occupancy shall be adjusted and determined for such calendar year
as if the Project was ninety-five percent (95%) occupied at all times, and the
increase or decrease in the sums owed hereunder shall be based upon such
Operating Costs as so adjusted.
(d) Determination
of Payment.
(i) Landlord
shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate
Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the
"Estimate") of
what the total amount of Direct Costs for the then-current calendar year shall
be (the "Estimated Direct
Costs"), together
with the amount payable by Tenant for Tenant's Proportionate Share of such
Estimated Direct Costs. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the
Estimate Statement for any calendar year shall not preclude Landlord from
subsequently enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Costs under
this Article 3, once such Estimated Direct Costs have been determined by
Landlord. Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Monthly
Basic Rental which is due at least twenty (20) days from the date Tenant
receives the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Tenant's Proportionate Share
of such Estimated Direct Costs for the then-current calendar year (reduced by
any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this
7
Section 3(d)(i)). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current calendar year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Basic Rental installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total of Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Estimated Direct Costs Estimated Direct Costs set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.(ii) In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar year (but not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of such year), a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the Direct Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding calendar year. Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year during the Term, if amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Direct Costs are less than Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of Direct Costs as specified on the Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of monthly Basic Rental which is due at least twenty (20) days from the date Tenant receives the Estimate Statement, the full amount of Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such calendar year as Estimated Direct Costs. If, however, the Statement indicates that amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Direct Costs are greater than Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of Direct Costs as specified on the Statement, such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant's next installments of Rent. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 3, once such Statement has been delivered. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Direct Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord (or Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant) an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(d). The provisions of this Section 3(d)(ii) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(iii) If the
Project is a part of a multi-building development, those Direct Costs
attributable to such development as a whole (and not attributable solely to any
individual building therein) shall be allocated by Landlord to the Project and
to the other buildings within such development on an equitable and commercially
reasonable basis.
(e) Audit
Right. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of a
Statement by Tenant ("Review
Period"), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement,
Tenant's employees or an independent certified public accountant (which
accountant is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm
and is not retained on a contingency fee basis), designated by Tenant, may,
after reasonable notice to Landlord ("Review
Notice") and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord's records at
Landlord's offices in the Seattle metropolitan area, provided that Tenant is not
then in default after expiration of all applicable cure periods and provided
further that Tenant and such accountant or representative shall, and each of
them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective
agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord's
records in confidence, provided such information may be disclosed to Tenant’s
lawyers, advisors, lenders and others who have a legitimate need to know such
information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have
the right to review Landlord's records one (1) time (which review may occur over
a period of more than one day, as reasonably required) during any twelve (12)
month period. If after such inspection, but within sixty (60) days
after the Review Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing ("Dispute
Notice") that Tenant still disputes such amounts, a certification as to
the proper amount shall be made in accordance with Landlord's standard
accounting practices, at Tenant's expense, by a neutral, independent certified
public accountant selected by Landlord and who is a member of a nationally or
regionally recognized accounting firm which has no affiliation or contractual
relationship with Landlord or Tenant. Landlord shall engage such
independent accountant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the
Dispute Notice. Tenant's failure to deliver the Review Notice within
the Review Period or to deliver the Dispute Notice within sixty (60) days after
the Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's approval of such
Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the
amounts set forth in such Statement. If Tenant timely delivers the
Review Notice and the Dispute Notice, Landlord shall cooperate in good faith
with Tenant and the independent accountant to show Tenant and such accountant
the information upon which the certification is to be based. However,
if such certification by the independent accountant proves that the Direct Costs
set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than four percent (4%), then
the cost of the independent accountant and the cost of such certification shall
be paid for by Landlord.
8
Promptly following the parties receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such certification. Tenant agrees that this section shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Costs payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.

SECURITY
DEPOSIT/LETTER OF CREDIT
(a) Security
Deposit. Tenant has deposited or concurrently herewith is
depositing with Landlord the sum set forth in Article 1.E. of the Basic
Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of every
provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, Landlord may use all or any part of this
security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sums in default, or to
compensate Landlord for any expense actually and reasonably incurred by Landlord
as a result of Tenant's default or if Landlord has terminated the Lease, the
damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to Article 20 of this
Lease. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
shall, within five (5) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash
with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its
full amount. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to
keep the security deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from
Landlord's general funds but Landlord may commingle the security deposit with
its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such
deposit. At the expiration of the Term, and except to the extent
Tenant owes Landlord money due to a default by Tenant hereunder, the security
deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's
option, to Tenant's "Transferee", as such term is defined in Article 15
below), provided that subsequent to the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may
retain from said security deposit (i) an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord
to cover potential Direct Cost reconciliation payments due with respect to the
calendar year in which this Lease terminates or expires (such amount so retained
shall not, in any event, exceed ten percent (10%) of Estimated Direct Cost
payments due from Tenant for such calendar year through the date of expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease and any amounts so retained and not applied
to such reconciliation shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's delivery of the Statement for such calendar year), (ii) any and all
amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord to cover the anticipated costs to be
incurred by Landlord to remove any signage provided to Tenant under this Lease,
to remove cabling and other items required to be removed by Tenant under Section
29(b) below and to repair any damage caused by such removal (in which case any
excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after such removal and repair), and (iii) any and all amounts
permitted by law and this Article 4. Tenant hereby waives any provisions of law,
now or hereafter in effect, which provide that Landlord may claim from a
security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the
payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it
being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this
Article 4 above, and all of Landlord's damages under this Lease and Washington
law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon termination of this
Lease and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any
other actual damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or
omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of
Tenant.
(b) Letter of
Credit. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable and renewable
letter of credit ("Letter of
Credit") in favor of Landlord substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit E, issued by Silicon Valley Bank or other bank reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord with a branch which will honor draws located in the
Seattle area or permitting draws electronically or by mail, overnight courier or
facsimile, in the principal amount ("Stated
Amount") specified below, to be held by Landlord in accordance with the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall pay all
expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of
Credit. If the Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant is inconsistent
with the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (including, without limitation,
the wrong name or address for the Beneficiary), Landlord may so notify Tenant in
writing, in which case Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be corrected
within five (5) business days after such notice. The Stated Amount
shall initially be Five Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand Dollars ($564,000.00);
provided, however, that, except as
hereinafter provided, upon the dates specified below ("Adjustment Dates"), the Stated Amount shall be reduced to the following amounts:

However,
if Tenant does not utilize the entire Improvement Allowance by the earlier of
(i) the date Tenant gives Landlord written notice that it will not seek to
obtain any credit for any unused portion of the Improvement Allowance or (ii)
March 31, 2009, then, subject to the next sentence below, Tenant may cause
the Stated Amount to be reduced on such date by the amount of the Improvement
Allowance which is not so utilized by Tenant and the Stated Amount may be
further reduced upon the Adjustment Dates on a proportionate basis (i.e., on the
first (1st)
Adjustment Date, the Stated Amount may be reduced to two-thirds (2/3rds) of
the revised original Stated Amount, on the second (2nd)
Adjustment Date, the Stated Amount may be reduced to one-third (1/3) of the
revised original Stated Amount, and upon the third (3rd)
Adjustment Date, the Stated Amount may be reduced to zero
dollars). Furthermore, if (i) a default by Tenant occurs under
this Lease, or (ii) circumstances exist that would, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, constitute a default by Tenant, and Tenant has failed to cure
such default within the time period permitted by Article 19 or such lesser
time as may remain before the relevant Adjustment Date as provided above, the
Stated Amount shall not thereafter be reduced unless and until such default
shall have been fully cured pursuant to the terms of this Lease, at which time
the Stated Amount may be reduced as hereinabove described. Upon any
change to the Stated Amount, the Letter of Credit shall be concurrently amended
or replaced by a Letter of Credit in the new reduced Stated Amount, and Landlord
and Tenant shall take the steps reasonably necessary to cause the existing
Letter of Credit to be delivered to the issuing bank and the issuing bank to
amend the Letter of Credit or issue a new replacement Letter of Credit in the
new reduced Stated Amount on the date the Stated Amount is required to be
adjusted. The Letter of Credit shall state that an authorized officer
or other representative of Landlord may make demand on Landlord's behalf for the
Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, and that the
issuing bank must immediately honor such demand upon presentation to it of the
original Letter of Credit, without qualification or satisfaction of any
conditions, except the proper identification of the party making such demand and
such party's certification that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of
Credit pursuant to this Lease. In addition, the Letter of Credit
shall indicate that it is transferable in its entirety by Landlord as
beneficiary to any transferee of Landlord's interest under this Lease who
assumes Landlord's obligations under this Lease or to a lender under any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project (provided that such lender
agrees that draws may be made on the Letter of Credit only as permitted by this
Lease, the drawn amounts shall only be used, applied or retained as permitted by
this Lease, the drawn amounts shall be returned to Tenant to the extent required
by this Lease, and that no further assignments shall be made by such lender of
the beneficiary's interest in the Letter of Credit except as permitted by this
Lease) and that upon receiving written notice of transfer along with such
party's certification confirming that the transfer meets the above requirements,
and upon presentation to the issuing bank of the original Letter of Credit, the
issuer or confirming bank will reissue the Letter of Credit naming such
transferee as the beneficiary. Tenant shall be responsible for the
payment to the issuing bank of any transfer costs imposed by the issuing bank in
connection with any such transfer. If (A) the term of the Letter
of Credit held by Landlord will expire prior to the last Adjustment Date
specified above and the Letter of Credit is not extended, or a new Letter of
Credit for an extended period of time is not substituted, in either case at
least (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or (B) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, including the filing of a
voluntary petition under Title 11 of the United States Code (i.e., the
bankruptcy Code), or Tenant otherwise becomes a debtor in any case or proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code, as now existing or hereinafter amended, or any
similar law or statute, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon
all or any portion of the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit, and the
proceeds received from such draw shall constitute Landlord's property (and not
Tenant's property or the property of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant) and
Landlord may then use, apply or retain all or any part of the proceeds
(1) for the payment of any sum which is in default, (2) to reimburse
Landlord for any expense actually and reasonably incurred by Landlord as a
result of Tenant's default, and (3) if Landlord has terminated this Lease,
the damages to which Landlord is entitled
pursuant to Article 20 of this Lease. If any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds are so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, post an additional Letter of Credit in an amount to cause the aggregate amount of the unused proceeds and such new Letter of Credit to equal the Stated Amount required in this Article 4 above. Landlord shall not be required to keep any proceeds from the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit and any unapplied proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the purchaser, and if Landlord transfers the Letter of Credit and deposits with the purchaser thereof the Letter of Credit and any unapplied proceeds of the Letter of Credit and such purchaser assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations with respect thereto, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit and said proceeds and Tenant shall look solely to such transferee for the return of the Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom. The Letter of Credit or any remaining proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, after any deductions described in this Article 4 above, shall be returned to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, if the Stated Amount is reduced while Landlord is holding any such unapplied proceeds, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant (so long as no Event of Default is continuing) the amount by which such proceeds and the remaining balance of the Letter of Credit exceeds the reduced Stated Amount.The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, the proceeds or any portion thereof, shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided under this Lease, it being intended that Landlord shall not be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and such use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Letter of Credit.

pursuant to Article 20 of this Lease. If any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds are so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, post an additional Letter of Credit in an amount to cause the aggregate amount of the unused proceeds and such new Letter of Credit to equal the Stated Amount required in this Article 4 above. Landlord shall not be required to keep any proceeds from the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit and any unapplied proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the purchaser, and if Landlord transfers the Letter of Credit and deposits with the purchaser thereof the Letter of Credit and any unapplied proceeds of the Letter of Credit and such purchaser assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations with respect thereto, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit and said proceeds and Tenant shall look solely to such transferee for the return of the Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom. The Letter of Credit or any remaining proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, after any deductions described in this Article 4 above, shall be returned to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, if the Stated Amount is reduced while Landlord is holding any such unapplied proceeds, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant (so long as no Event of Default is continuing) the amount by which such proceeds and the remaining balance of the Letter of Credit exceeds the reduced Stated Amount.The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, the proceeds or any portion thereof, shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided under this Lease, it being intended that Landlord shall not be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and such use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Letter of Credit.
Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the
Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds
thereof be deemed to be or treated as a "security deposit" within the meaning of
any laws or statutes. The parties hereto (A) recite that the
Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and any laws,
rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context
("Security
Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and
(B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now
or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit
Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Security
Deposit Law in any way: (a) is applicable to this Lease or the Letter of Credit
(or any proceeds thereof); or (b) controls Landlord's rights to draw on the
Letter of Credit or apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any amounts
due under this Lease or any damages Landlord may suffer following termination of
this Lease, then Tenant fully and irrevocably waives the benefits and
protections of such Security Deposit Law, it being agreed that Landlord may
recover from the Letter of Credit (or its proceeds) amounts expressly provided
in this Article 4.

HOLDING
OVER
Should
Tenant, without Landlord's written consent, hold over after termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, become either a tenant at sufferance
or a month-to-month tenant upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may
be applicable to such a tenancy and any such holding over shall not constitute
an extension of this Lease. During such holding over, Tenant shall
pay in advance, monthly, Basic Rental at a rate equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the rate in effect for the last month of the Term of this
Lease or one hundred percent (100%) of Landlord's then asking rate for
comparable space in the Project, whichever is greater, in addition to, and not
in lieu of, all other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder including
but not limited to Tenant's Proportionate Share of any increase in Direct
Costs. Nothing contained in this Article 5 shall be construed as
consent by Landlord to any holding over of the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord
expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises
upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord
11
harmless from all costs, loss, expense or liability, including without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers claims and attorney's fees and costs.

OTHER
TAXES
Tenant
shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against or levied upon trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant
located in the Premises. In the event any or all of Tenant's trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property shall be assessed
and taxed with property of Landlord, or if the cost or value of any leasehold
improvements in the Premises exceeds the cost or value of a Project-standard
buildout as determined by Landlord and, as a result, real property taxes for the
Project are increased, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after
delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a written statement setting forth such amount,
the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant's property or above-standard
improvements. Tenant shall assume and pay to Landlord at the time
Basic Rental next becomes due (or if assessed after the expiration of the Term,
then within ten (10) days), any excise, sales, use, rent, occupancy, garage,
parking, gross receipts or other taxes (other than net income taxes) which may
be assessed against or levied upon Landlord on account of letting of the
Premises to Tenant or the payment of Basic Rental or any other sums due or
payable hereunder, and which Landlord may be required to pay or collect under
any law now in effect or hereafter enacted. In addition to Tenant's
obligation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall pay
directly to the party or entity entitled thereto all business license fees,
gross receipts taxes and similar taxes and impositions which may from time to
time be assessed against or levied upon Tenant, as and when the same become due
and before delinquency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any sums payable by Tenant under this Article 6 shall not
be included in the computation of "Tax Costs."

USE
Tenant
shall use and occupy the Premises only for the use set forth in
Article 1.F. of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall not use or occupy the
Premises or permit the same to be used or occupied for any other purpose without
the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant agrees that it will use the
Premises in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with or infringe
upon the rights of other tenants or occupants in the Project. Subject
to casualty, condemnation and repairs, Tenant shall have the right to use and
have access to the Premises and the common areas serving the Premises on a seven
(7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day basis throughout the Term without
obtaining any consent from or giving notice to Landlord. Except to
the extent such compliance obligations are otherwise those of Landlord as
provided herein, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply
with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, governmental regulations or
requirements (collectively, "Laws") now in
force or which may hereafter be in force relating to or affecting (i) the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises or the Project (excluding structural
changes to the Project not related to Tenant's particular use of the Premises),
and (ii) improvements installed or constructed in the Premises by or for the
benefit of Tenant. Tenant's use of the Premises shall be subject to
all applicable Laws including, without limitation, any applicable zoning
laws. Tenant shall not knowingly do or permit to be done anything
which would invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance policy covering the
Project and/or the property located therein and Tenant shall comply (but without
obligation to install any improvements or additions or make any upgrades) with
all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of any organization which sets
out standards, requirements or recommendations commonly referred to by major
fire insurance underwriters, and Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse
Landlord for any additional premium charges for any such insurance policy
assessed or increased by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Article. Tenant agrees not to keep any trash,
garbage, waste or other refuse on the Premises except in sanitary containers and
agrees to regularly and frequently remove same from the
Premises. Tenant shall keep all containers or other equipment used
for storage of such materials in a clean and sanitary
condition. Tenant shall keep the sewage disposal system in the
Premises free of all obstructions and in good operating condition. If
the volume of Tenant's trash
12
becomes excessive in Landlord's judgment, Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant for additional trash disposal services and/or to require that Tenant contract directly for additional trash disposal services at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall, at its own cost, retain a licensed, bonded professional pest and sanitation control service to perform inspections of the Premises not less frequently than quarterly for the purpose of eliminating infestation by and controlling the presence of insects, rodents and vermin and shall promptly cause any corrective or extermination work recommended by such service to be performed. Such work shall be performed pursuant to a written contract, a copy of which shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon request.

CONDITION OF
PREMISES
Tenant
hereby agrees that except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or as
provided in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and made a
part hereof and without limiting Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations
set forth in this Lease, the
Premises shall be taken "as is", "with all faults", "without any representations
or warranties", and Tenant hereby agrees and warrants that it has investigated
and inspected the condition of the Premises and the suitability of same for
Tenant's purposes, and except for any obligations of Landlord expressly set
forth in this Lease, Tenant does hereby waive and disclaim any objection to,
cause of action based upon, or claim that its obligations hereunder should be
reduced or limited because of the condition of the Premises or the Project as of
the Commencement Date or the suitability of same for Tenant's
purposes. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in
this Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent nor any employee of
Landlord has made any representations or warranty with respect to the Premises
or the Project or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of
Tenant's business and Tenant expressly warrants and represents that, except as
expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant has relied solely on its own
investigation and inspection of the Premises and the Project in its decision to
enter into this Lease and let the Premises in the above-described
condition. In addition to the existing leasehold improvements in the
Premises, the Premises shall be initially improved as provided in,
and subject to, the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and
made a part hereof. The existing leasehold improvements in the
Premises as of the date of this Lease, together with the Improvements (as
defined in the Tenant Work Letter) may be collectively referred to herein as the
"Tenant
Improvements." The taking of possession of the Premises by
Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Project were at
such time in satisfactory condition, subject to latent defects, punch-list
items, conditions or items that are not in compliance with Laws, and conditions
or items covered by construction warranties. Tenant hereby waives any
provisions of law which would otherwise permit Tenant to make repairs required
of Landlord under this Lease.

REPAIRS AND
ALTERATIONS
(a) Landlord's
Obligation. Landlord shall maintain and repair the
Project-wide systems and the structural portions of the Project including,
without limitation, the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain wall,
exterior glass, columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells and common
areas. Landlord shall also repair at its sole cost and expense, any
latent defects in the design or construction of the Project or Development
Common Areas, any defects in the Improvements which constitute a breach of the
one-year construction warranty provided by the Contractor who installs the
Improvements or are not installed in accordance with the approved drawings,
plans and specifications. Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, make
such modifications, repairs and upgrades to the Project and Development Common
Areas as are necessary to comply with disability, life, seismic, fire and safety
codes, ordinances, statutes, or any other applicable Laws in effect on or prior
to the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, then current
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Notwithstanding
any provision set forth in this Article 9 to the contrary, if Tenant provides
written notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action
of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance of the Premises only (and
not any other portion of the Project), and Landlord fails to provide such action
within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of such
13
notice, or if the nature of the work reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to complete, and such work is not commenced by Landlord within thirty (30) days after such notice and thereafter continuously and diligently pursued by Landlord to completion within a reasonable time, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) days notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action, and if such action was required under the terms of the Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not taken by Landlord within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's actual and reasonable costs in taking such action. However, if the work so performed by Tenant pertains to items that would otherwise be includable under Direct Costs pursuant to Article 3 above, then Landlord may include the amount of such reimbursement in Direct Costs. In the event Tenant takes such action, and such work will affect the Project systems or the structural integrity of the Project, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Project for work on such Project systems or structure unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in comparable first-class buildings.(b) Tenant's Obligation. Except as expressly provided as Landlord's obligation in this Article 9, Tenant shall keep the Premises, all systems therein exclusively serving the Premises and the backup generator described in Section 11(e) below in good condition and repair. Except to the extent covered by insurance and subject to the waiver of subrogation provision herein, all damage or injury to the Premises or the Project resulting from the wrongful act or negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents or visitors, guests, invitees or licensees, or by the use of the Premises, shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at its sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord; provided, however, that for damage to the Project as a result of casualty or for any repairs that may impact the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation or air-conditioning systems of the Project, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to select the contractor and oversee all such repairs. Landlord may make any repairs that are Tenant's responsibility which are not promptly made by Tenant after Tenant's receipt of written notice and the reasonable opportunity of Tenant to make said repair within five (5) business days from receipt of said written notice, and charge Tenant for the cost thereof, which cost shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days from invoice from Landlord. Subject to the provisions of the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall be responsible for the design and function of all non-standard improvements of the Premises, made by or at the request of Tenant, whether or not installed by Landlord at Tenant's request. Except as expressly provided in Section 9(a) above, Tenant waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost thereof from the rent.
(c) Alterations. Tenant
shall make no alterations, installations, changes or additions in or to the
Premises or the Project (collectively, "Alterations")
without Landlord's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic changes to the
finish work in the Premises (the "Cosmetic
Alterations"), without Landlord's consent, provided that the aggregate
cost of any such alterations does not exceed $20,000.00 in any twelve (12) month
period, and further provided that such alterations do not (i) require any
structural or other substantial modifications to the Premises, (ii) require
any changes to, nor adversely affect, the systems and equipment of the Project,
or (iii) affect the exterior appearance of the Project. Tenant
shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior notice of such Cosmetic
Alterations, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence
that such changes meet the criteria contained in this
Section 9(c). As used herein, the term "Alterations" does not
include any of the Tenant Improvements. Any Alterations approved by
Landlord must be performed in accordance with the terms hereof, using only
contractors approved by Landlord in writing and upon the approval by Landlord in
writing of fully detailed and dimensioned plans and specifications pertaining to
the Alterations in question, to be prepared and submitted by Tenant at its sole
cost and expense. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense obtain
all necessary approvals and permits pertaining to any
Alterations. Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be performed in a
good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with all applicable federal, state,
county and municipal laws, rules and regulations, pursuant to a valid building
permit (if one is required), and in conformance with Landlord's construction
rules and regulations. If Landlord, in approving any Alterations,
specifies a commencement date therefor, Tenant shall not commence any work with
respect to such Alterations prior to such date; provided that Tenant shall be
entitled to commence such work within thirty (30) days after such approval is
given. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord
free and harmless from all liens and claims of lien, and all other liability,
claims and demands arising out
of any work done or material supplied to the Premises by or at the request of Tenant in connection with any Alterations.(d) Insurance; Liens. Prior to the commencement of any Alterations requiring Landlord's consent, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request, provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood that all such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, for Alterations requiring Landlord's consent, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a payment and performance bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

of any work done or material supplied to the Premises by or at the request of Tenant in connection with any Alterations.(d) Insurance; Liens. Prior to the commencement of any Alterations requiring Landlord's consent, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request, provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries "Builder's Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood that all such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 14 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, for Alterations requiring Landlord's consent, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a payment and performance bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.
(e) Costs and
Fees; Removal. If permitted Alterations are made, they shall
be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall be and become the property
of Landlord, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at the
time of Landlord's consent to such Alteration or Improvement (provided Tenant
requests that Landlord make such determination at the time of Tenant's request
for consent) or in the case of Cosmetic Alterations, by written notice to Tenant
within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of such
Cosmetic Alterations (provided Tenant requests that Landlord make such
determination at the time of Tenant's notice), require Tenant at Tenant's
expense to remove such Improvements and Alterations from the Premises at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and to repair any damage to the
Premises and the Project caused by such removal. Any and all costs
attributable to or related to the applicable building codes of the city in which
the Project is located (or any other authority having jurisdiction over the
Project) arising from Tenant's Alterations shall be paid by Tenant at its sole
cost and expense. With regard to repairs required to be made by
Tenant, Alterations or any other work arising from or related to this
Article 9, Landlord shall be entitled to receive a reasonable
administrative/coordination fee (which fee shall vary depending upon whether or
not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord) sufficient to compensate
Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses
arising from Landlord's involvement with such work, provided such fee shall in
no event exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of the work. The
construction of initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the
terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 9, except
as expressly provided in the first sentence of this
Section 9(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any of the existing leasehold
improvements in the Premises.

LIENS
Tenant
shall keep the Premises and the Project free from any mechanics' liens, vendors
liens or any other liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished
or obligations incurred by Tenant, and Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any such lien or claim or action
thereon, together with costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim or
action. Before commencing any work of alteration, addition or
improvement to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10)
business days' written notice of the proposed commencement of such
work. In the event that there shall be recorded against the Premises
or the Project or the property of which the Premises is a part any claim or lien
arising out of any such work performed, materials furnished or obligations
incurred by Tenant and such claim or lien shall not be removed or discharged by
Tenant pursuant to RCW 60.04.161 (or any successor statute(s)) within ten (10)
days after written notice to Tenant of such filing, Landlord shall have the
right but not the obligation to pay and discharge said lien without regard to
whether such lien shall be lawful or correct, unless Tenant promptly (within
three (3) days after demand) deposits with Landlord in cash, lawful money of the
United States, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of such claim,
which sum may be retained by Landlord until such claim shall have been removed
of record or until judgment shall have been rendered on such claim and such
judgment shall have become final, at which time Landlord shall have the right to
apply such deposit in discharge of the judgment on said claim and any costs,
including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Landlord, and shall remit the
balance thereof to Tenant.

PROJECT
SERVICES
(a) Basic
Services. Landlord shall provide the existing equipment
servicing the Premises in its "as is" but operable condition in order to provide
electric current, heat and air-conditioning therein. Landlord and
Tenant hereby acknowledge that an independent heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning system ("HVAC System")
will service the Premises. Landlord shall be responsible for the
maintenance and repair of the HVAC System and shall, as an Operating Cost,
maintain a service and maintenance contract for such HVAC System with a
contractor reasonably designated by Landlord, which contractor shall perform all
maintenance and repairs on the HVAC System as reasonably determined by Landlord
to be necessary. Tenant shall be entitled to utilize the existing
supplementary heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for a portion of
the Premises and to install, as an Improvement or as an Alteration, subject to
Landlord's reasonable approval of plans and specifications, other heating,
ventilation and air conditioning units (collectively, "Supplementary
Units") within the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and expense (or as a
charge to the Improvement Allowance). A submeter will also be
installed, at Tenant's sole cost and expense (or as a charge to the Improvement
Allowance) in order to measure the amount of electricity furnished to the
Supplementary Units and Tenant shall be responsible for Landlord's actual cost
of supplying electricity to such units as reasonably determined by Landlord
based upon such submeter, which amounts shall be payable on a monthly basis as
Additional Rent. Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintenance
and repair of the Supplementary Units and such units shall be considered to be a
fixture within the Premises and shall remain upon the Premises upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, the electricity and other utilities furnished to the Premises shall
be included in Operating Costs. Tenant shall be responsible for
retaining a bonded janitorial contractor, which contractor shall be reasonably
approved by Landlord, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no
obligation whatsoever to provide janitorial service to the
Premises. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations which
Landlord may reasonably establish for the proper functioning and protection of
any common systems of the Project. Landlord shall not be liable for,
and except as expressly provided in Section 11(f) below, there shall be no
rent abatement as a result of, any stoppage, reduction or interruption of any
such services caused by governmental rules, regulations or ordinances, riot,
strike, labor disputes, breakdowns, accidents, necessary repairs or other
cause. In the event of interruption of services to the Premises,
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the services to be
promptly restored. Except as specifically provided in this
Article 11, Tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and other services
utilized by Tenant and any additional building services furnished to Tenant
which are not uniformly furnished to all tenants of the Project at the rate
generally charged by Landlord to tenants of the Project for such utilities or
services.
(b) HVAC
Balance. If any lights, machines or equipment (including but
not limited to computers and computer systems and appurtenances) are used by
Tenant in the Premises which materially affect the temperature otherwise
maintained by the air conditioning system, or generate substantially more heat
in the Premises than may be accommodated by the system, Tenant shall be
responsible for installing, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any machinery and
equipment reasonably necessary to restore temperature balance, including but not
limited to modifications to the standard air conditioning
equipment.
(c) Telecommunications. Upon
request from Tenant from time to time, Landlord will provide Tenant with a
listing of telecommunications and media service providers serving the Project,
and Tenant shall have the right to contract directly with the providers of its
choice. If Tenant wishes to contract with or obtain
service from any provider which does not currently serve the Project or wishes
to obtain from an existing carrier services which will require the installation
of additional equipment, such provider must, prior to providing service, enter
into a written agreement with Landlord setting forth the terms and conditions of
the access to be granted to such provider. In considering the
installation of any new or additional telecommunications cabling or equipment at
the Project, Landlord will consider all relevant factors in a reasonable and
non-discriminatory manner, including, without limitation, the existing
availability of services at the Project, the impact of the proposed
installations upon the Project and its operations and the available space and
capacity for the proposed installations. Landlord may also consider
whether the proposed service may result in interference with or interruption of
16
other services at the Project or the business operations of other tenants or occupants of the Project. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to incur any costs or liabilities in connection with the installation or delivery of telecommunication services or facilities at the Project. All such installations shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall be performed in accordance with the terms of Article 9. If Landlord approves the proposed installations in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord will deliver its standard form agreement upon request and will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly enter into an agreement on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms with a qualified, licensed and reputable carrier confirming the terms of installation and operation of telecommunications equipment consistent with the foregoing.
(d) Sole
Electrical Representative. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall
be the sole and exclusive representative to the electrical service provider with
respect to, and shall maintain exclusive control over, the reception,
utilization and distribution of electrical power to the Project, regardless of
point or means of origin, use or generation.
(e) Backup
Generator. Throughout the Term of this Lease (as may be
extended), Tenant shall be entitled to utilize the existing backup generator for
the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is providing such
backup generator in its "as is" condition and that Landlord makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the condition of such backup
generator or its suitability for Tenant's use and Landlord shall have no
maintenance or repair obligations with respect to the backup
generator. Such backup generator may be used by Tenant only during
(i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) any period of electrical
power outage in the Project. Tenant shall be entitled to operate the
backup generator for testing and regular maintenance only upon notice to
Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Landlord. In addition,
Tenant shall ensure that the backup generator does not result in any Hazardous
Materials being introduced to the Project in violation of applicable law, and
Section 28(a) will apply to Tenant's use of the backup
generator. Further, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the
backup generator does not interfere with the use of the Project by other
tenants. Such backup generator shall be deemed to be a part of the
Premises for purposes of Article 14 of this Lease.
(f) Abatement
Events. An "Abatement
Event" shall be defined as an event that prevents Tenant from using the
Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure to provide services
or access to the Premises or as a result of Landlord's activities pursuant to
Section 12(b) below or as a result of the presence of Hazardous Materials
in violation of Environmental Laws not caused by Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, where (i) Tenant does not actually use the
Premises or such portion thereof, and (ii) such event is not caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees or
contractors. Tenant shall give Landlord notice ("Abatement
Notice") of any such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event
continues beyond the "Eligibility Period" (as that term is defined below), then
the Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs shall be
abated entirely or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the
Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from
using, and does not use, the Premises or such portion thereof, in the proportion
that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented
from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises;
provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does
not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the
Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient
to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does
not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after
expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from
effectively conducting its business therein, the Basic Rental and Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the entire Premises shall be abated
entirely for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any
portion of the Premises during such period, the Basic Rental and Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Direct Costs allocable to such reoccupied portion, based
on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the
Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by
Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the
Premises. The term "Eligibility
Period" shall mean a period of five (5) consecutive business days after
Landlord's receipt of any Abatement Notice(s). Such right to xxxxx
Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Direct Costs shall be Tenant's
sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement
Event.

RIGHTS OF
LANDLORD
(a) Right of
Entry. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter
the Premises at all reasonable times upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice
(except that no notice shall be required in the case of an emergency or
regularly scheduled service) for the purpose of examining or inspecting the
same, serving or posting and keeping posted thereon notices as provided by law,
or which Landlord deems necessary for the protection of Landlord or the Project,
showing the same to prospective tenants, lenders or purchasers of the Project,
in the case of an emergency, and for making such alterations, repairs,
improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project as Landlord may deem
necessary or desirable and are otherwise permitted by this Lease; provided,
however, that except in the case of an emergency, no such entry into the Lab
Portion of the Premises shall be permitted without Landlord permitting Tenant to
have a representative of Tenant present and, if required by Tenant, any such
individuals entering the Lab Portion of the Premises shall wear protective
goggles and such other protective clothing or equipment as Tenant may reasonably
require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right
to enter the Premises to show the same to prospective tenants only during the
last nine (9) months of the Term or the Option Term, if applicable, or at any
time in which Tenant is in default under this Lease after expiration of
applicable cure periods. If Tenant shall not be personally present to
open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time when such an entry by
Landlord is necessary and otherwise permitted hereunder, Landlord may enter by
means of a master key or may forcibly enter in the case of an emergency, in each
event without liability to Tenant for such entry and without affecting this
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) except in the event of
the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, contractors or
employees, any entry into the Lab Portion of the Premises by Landlord or any
other party Landlord brings to the Lab Portion of the Premises shall be at their
sole risk and Tenant shall have no liability for injuries or damage any of them
may sustain by reason of such entry into the Lab Portion of the Premises, and
(B) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct any such
entry with the least inconvenience to Tenant as is reasonably practicable and so
as to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, any disruption of or
interference with Tenant's normal operations in the
Premises. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts not
to disclose, use or disseminate or permit the disclosure, use or dissemination
by its employees, agents or contractors of any information concerning Tenant's
prototype tablets, pharmaceutical and nutritional products, research,
development and testing efforts, procedures, methods and results and other
proprietary technology information (collectively, "Confidential
Information") that may be obtained by entry into the Lab Portion of the
Premises by Landlord or its employees, agents or
contractors. Landlord agrees that Tenant may prohibit the
photographing, video taping, photocopying or other reproduction of any
Confidential Information. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall be
entitled to pursue a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief for
any breach by Landlord of its obligations with respect to Confidential
Information as described in this Section 12(a) above.
(b) Maintenance
Work. Landlord reserves the right from time to time, but
subject to payment by and/or reimbursement from Tenant as may be otherwise
provided herein, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner: (i) to install,
use, maintain, repair, replace, relocate and control for service to the Premises
and/or other parts of the Project pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, cabling,
appurtenant fixtures, equipment spaces and mechanical systems, wherever located
in the Premises or the Project, (ii) to alter, close or relocate any facility in
the Premises or the common areas or otherwise conduct any of the above
activities for the purpose of complying with a general plan for fire/life safety
for the Project or for repairs, and (iii) to comply with any federal, state or
local law, rule or order. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to perform any such work with the least inconvenience to Tenant as is
reasonably practicable and so as to minimize to the extent reasonably
practicable any disruption of or interference with Tenant’s normal operations in
the Premises, but in no event shall Tenant be permitted to withhold or reduce
Basic Rental or other charges due hereunder as a result of same (except as
provided in Section 11(f) above), make any claim for constructive eviction
or otherwise make any claim against Landlord for interruption or interference
with Tenant's business and/or operations; provided, however, Landlord shall not
be entitled to reduce the useable area of the Premises pursuant to such actions
in a manner or to a degree that would impair Tenant's operations in the
Premises.
18
(c) Rooftop. If
Tenant desires to use the rooftop of the Project for any purpose, including the
installation of communication equipment to be used from the Premises, such
rights will be granted in Landlord’s sole discretion and Tenant must negotiate
the terms of any rooftop access with Landlord or the rooftop management company
or lessee holding rights to the rooftop from time to time. Any
rooftop access granted to Tenant will be at prevailing rates and will be
governed by the terms of a separate written agreement or an amendment to this
Lease.

INDEMNITY;
EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY
(a) Indemnity. Except
for matters and claims for which Landlord is obligated hereunder to indemnify
Tenant, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, Arden Realty, Inc.,
their subsidiaries, partners, parental or other affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees and contractors (collectively, "Landlord
Parties") harmless from and against any and all claims arising from (i)
Tenant's use of the Premises or the Project (including, without limitation,
Tenant's signage) or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work
or thing which may be permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises
or the Project, (ii) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
on Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease, or (iii) any negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, or employees in
or about the Project and from any and all costs, attorneys' fees and costs,
expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon, including negotiations in connection
therewith. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not
be required to indemnify, defend and/or hold Landlord harmless from any claim,
loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including, but not limited to,
penalties, fines, attorneys' fees or costs (collectively, "Claims"), by,
for or to any person, property or entity to the extent resulting from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, or
employees or from Landlord's breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Landlord's part to be performed under this Lease or covered by
insurance required to be carried under this Lease by Landlord or actually
carried by Landlord. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant and holds
Tenant harmless from any Claims to the extent resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors or employees or from
Landlord's breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Landlord's
part to be performed under this Lease and not covered by insurance required to
be carried under this Lease by Tenant or actually carried by Tenant; provided,
however, that (A) because Landlord maintains insurance on the Project and
Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as part of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Direct Costs and because of the existence of waivers of subrogation set
forth in Article 14 of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Tenant harmless from any Claims to any property outside of the
Premises to the extent such Claim is covered by such insurance, even if
resulting from the negligent acts, omissions, or willful misconduct of Tenant or
those of its agents, contractors, or employees, and (B) because Tenant must
carry insurance pursuant to Article 14 to cover its personal property
within the Premises and the Tenant Improvements, Tenant hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any Claim to any property
within the Premises, to the extent such Claim is covered by such insurance, even
if resulting from the negligent acts, omissions or willful misconduct of
Landlord or those of its agents, contractors, or employees. Further,
Tenant's agreement to indemnify Landlord and Landlord's agreement to indemnify
Tenant pursuant to this Section 13(a) is not intended to and shall not
relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be
carried by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease, to the extent such
policies cover the matters subject to such indemnification
obligations. Except for matters and Claims for which Landlord is
obligated to indemnify Tenant hereunder, (1) Tenant hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises from any cause,
and (2) Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord and
the Landlord Parties.
(b) Exemption of
Landlord from Liability. Landlord and the Landlord Parties
shall not be liable for injury to Tenant's business, or loss of income
therefrom, however occurring (including, without limitation, from any failure or
interruption of services or utilities or as a result of Landlord's negligence),
or, subject to the waivers in Article 14(d) below to the extent applicable
and except in connection with damage or injury resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or the Landlord Parties or
Landlord's breach of this Lease or matters or claims for which Landlord is
obligated to indemnify Tenant pursuant to
19
Section 13(a) hereof (provided that in such cases Landlord's liability shall be limited to amounts not covered by insurance carried by Tenant or required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease), for damage that may be sustained by the person, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees, customers, agents, or contractors, or any other person in, on or about the Premises directly or indirectly caused by or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water, or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, light fixtures, or mechanical or electrical systems or from intrabuilding cabling or wiring, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Project or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means or repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant. Except for matters or Claims for which Landlord is obligated to indemnify Tenant pursuant to Section 13(a) hereof, Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages arising from any willful or negligent action or inaction of any other tenant of the Project.
(c) Security. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord's election whether or not to provide any type of
mechanical surveillance or security personnel whatsoever in the Project is
solely within Landlord's discretion; Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall
have no liability in connection with the provision, or lack, of such services
and Tenant hereby agrees to release Landlord and the Landlord Parties with
regard to any such potential claim. Landlord and the Landlord Parties
shall not be liable for losses due to theft, vandalism, or like
causes.

oral and written contracts, and personal injury coverage, covering the insuring
provisions of this Lease and the performance of Tenant of the indemnity and
exemption of Landlord from liability agreements set forth in Article 13
hereof; (ii) a policy of standard fire, extended coverage and special extended
coverage insurance (all risks), including a vandalism and malicious mischief
endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage where
sprinklers are provided in an amount equal to the full replacement value new
without deduction for depreciation of all (A) Tenant Improvements,
Alterations, fixtures and other improvements in the Premises, including but not
limited to all mechanical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning,
electrical, telecommunication and other equipment, systems and facilities, and
(B) trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property
installed by or at the expense of Tenant; (iii) Worker's Compensation coverage
as required by law; and (iv) business interruption, loss of income and extra
expense insurance covering any failure or interruption of Tenant's business
equipment (including, without limitation, telecommunications equipment) and
covering all other perils, failures or interruptions sufficient to cover a
period of interruption of not less than twelve (12) months. Tenant
shall carry and maintain during the entire Term (including any option periods,
if applicable), at Tenant's sole cost and expense, reasonable increased amounts
of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this
Article 14 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in
such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein,
as may be reasonably required by Landlord, but Landlord shall only be entitled
to require such increased amounts and/or other coverages if they are then
generally required by owners of comparable office buildings in the Bothell,
Washington area.
(b) Form of
Policies. The aforementioned minimum limits of policies and
Tenant's procurement and maintenance thereof shall in no event limit the
liability of Tenant hereunder. The Commercial General Liability
Insurance policy shall name Landlord, Arden Realty, Inc., Landlord's property
manager, and Landlord's lender(s) (provided Landlord provides Tenant with notice
of the names of such property manager and any such lender(s)), as additional
insureds' with an appropriate endorsement to the policy(s). All such
insurance policies carried by Tenant
20
shall be with companies having a rating of not less than A-VIII in Best's Insurance Guide. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, from the insurance companies, or cause the insurance companies to furnish, certificates of coverage. The deductible under each such policy shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage below the limits required hereunder or other modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be endorsed to agree that Tenant's policy is primary and that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and not contributing with any Tenant insurance requirement hereunder. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance or furnish Landlord with renewals or binders in a timely manner, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant the cost thereof, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand with interest (at the rate set forth in Section 20(e) below) from the date such sums are expended. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Tenant as required by this Lease.
(c) Landlord's
Insurance. Landlord shall, as a cost to be included in
Operating Costs, procure and maintain at all times during the Term of this
Lease, (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the
Project in the amount of the full replacement costs without deduction for
depreciation thereof, providing protection against all perils included within
the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage, and special extended
coverage on the building; and (ii) Commercial General Liability Insurance,
written on an occurrence basis, with a combined single limit for bodily injury
and property damage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per
occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the annual aggregate
covering the Project. Additionally, Landlord may
carry: (i) Excess Liability Coverage Insurance; and (ii) Earthquake
and/or Flood Damage Insurance; and (iii) Rental Income Insurance; and
(iv) any other forms of insurance Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate
or any lender may require. The costs of all insurance carried by
Landlord shall be included in Operating Costs.
(d) Waiver of
Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agree to require their
respective insurers issuing the insurance described in Sections 14(a)(ii),
14(a)(iv) and the first sentence of Section 14(c), to waive any rights of
subrogation that such companies may have against the other
party. Tenant hereby waives any right that Tenant may have against
Landlord and Landlord hereby waives any right that Landlord may have against
Tenant as a result of any loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is
insurable under such policies. In addition, as between Landlord and
Tenant only, each party hereby waives its immunity with respect to the other
under the Industrial Insurance Act (RCW Title 51), and/or the Longshoreman's and
Harbor Worker's Act and/or any equivalent acts, and each party expressly agrees
to assume potential liability for actions brought against the other party by
such waiving parties' employees. The parties have specifically
negotiated this waiver and each party has had the opportunity to, and has been
encouraged to, consult with independent counsel regarding this
waiver.
(e) Compliance
with Law. Tenant agrees that it will not, at any time, during
the Term of this Lease, carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the
Premises that will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates upon the
Project. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith upon demand the
amount of any increase in premiums for insurance that may be carried during the
Term of this Lease, or the amount of insurance to be carried by Landlord on the
Project resulting from the foregoing, or from Tenant doing any act in or about
the Premises that does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord
shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant
installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which causes an overload of
electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense in
accordance with all other Lease provisions (specifically including, but not
limited to, the provisions of Article 9, 10 and 11 hereof), make whatever
changes are necessary to comply with all insurance requirements of the insurance
underwriters and any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, but
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to
such overloading. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all
industry-standard insurance requirements applicable to the Premises including,
without limitation, the installation of fire extinguishers (but without
obligation to install any improvements or additions or perform any
upgrades).

ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING
Tenant
shall have no power to, either voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law
or otherwise, sell, assign, transfer or hypothecate this Lease, or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be
used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's employees without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Tenant is a corporation,
unincorporated association, partnership or limited liability company, the sale,
assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any class of stock or other ownership
interest in such corporation, association, partnership or limited liability
company in excess of fifty percent (50%) in a single transaction shall be deemed
a "Transfer" within the meaning and provisions of this
Article 15. Tenant may transfer its interest pursuant to this
Lease only upon the following express conditions, which conditions are agreed by
Landlord and Tenant to be reasonable:
(a) That the
proposed Transferee (as hereafter defined) shall be subject to the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed but, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to deny such consent
if:
(i) The use to
be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is (a) not generally
consistent with the character and nature of all other tenancies in the Project,
(b) a use which conflicts with any so-called "exclusive" then in favor of, or
for any use which might reasonably be expected to diminish the rent payable
pursuant to any percentage rent lease with another tenant of the Project or any
other buildings which are in the same complex as the Project, or (c) a use which
would be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease (including but not
limited to any Rules and Regulations then in effect);
(ii) The
financial responsibility of the proposed Transferee is not reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord or in any event not at least equal to those which were
possessed by Tenant as of the date of execution of this
Lease;
(iii) The
proposed Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
or
(iv) Either the
proposed Transferee or any person or entity which directly or indirectly
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the proposed
Transferee (A) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for
consent, or (B) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with
Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of the
proposed Transfer, to lease space in the Project.
(b) Upon
Tenant's submission of a request for Landlord's consent to any such Transfer,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord's then standard processing fee and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the proposed
Transfer, such processing and attorneys’ fees and costs not to exceed $1,500 in
the aggregate per proposed Transfer, unless Landlord provides to Tenant evidence
that Landlord has reasonably incurred greater out-of-pocket costs in connection
with the proposed Transfer;
(c) That the
proposed Transferee shall execute an agreement pursuant to which it shall agree
to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions,
provisions and agreements of this Lease applicable to that portion of the
Premises so transferred; and
(d) That an
executed duplicate original of said assignment and assumption agreement or other
Transfer on a form reasonably approved by Landlord, shall be delivered to
Landlord within five (5) days after the execution thereof, and that such
Transfer shall not be binding upon Landlord until the delivery thereof to
Landlord and the execution and delivery of Landlord's consent
thereto. It shall be a condition to Landlord's consent to any
subleasing, assignment or other transfer of part or all of Tenant's interest in
the Premises ("Transfer")
that (i) upon Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay and
continue to pay fifty percent (50%) of any "Transfer Premium" (defined below),
received by Tenant from the Transferee; (ii) any
22
sublessee of part or all of Tenant's interest in the Premises shall agree that in the event Landlord gives such sublessee notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such sublessee shall thereafter make all sublease or other payments directly to Landlord, which will be received by Landlord without any liability whether to honor the sublease or otherwise (except to credit such payments against sums due under this Lease and the sublease), and any sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns at their request should this Lease be terminated for any reason, except that in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; (iii) any such Transfer and consent shall be effected on forms supplied by Landlord and/or its legal counsel; (iv) Landlord may require that Tenant not then be in default hereunder in any respect; and (v) Tenant or the proposed subtenant or assignee (collectively, "Transferee") shall agree to pay Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to the additional costs, if any, incurred by Landlord for maintenance and repair as a result of any change in the nature of occupancy caused by such subletting or assignment. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, Additional Rent or other consideration payable by a Transferee in connection with a Transfer in excess of the Basic Rental and Direct Costs payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer and if such Transfer is for less than all of the Premises, the Transfer Premium shall be calculated on a rentable square foot basis. "Transfer Premium" shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by a Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the Transferee and any payment in excess of fair market value for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the Transferee in connection with such Transfer. In any event, the Transfer Premium shall be calculated after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (1) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant in connection with the Transfer, (2) any other out-of-pocket monetary concessions provided by Tenant to the Transferee, and (3) any brokerage commissions paid for by Tenant and attorneys' fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer. Any Transfer of this Lease which is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article 15 shall be voidable by written notice from Landlord and shall, if such non-compliance is not cured by Tenant or such Transfer not rescinded within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. In no event shall the consent by Landlord to any Transfer be construed as relieving Tenant or any Transferee from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further Transfer, or as releasing Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued and Tenant shall continue to be fully liable therefor. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 15 or the acceptance of any Transferee hereunder, or a release of Tenant (or of any Transferee of Tenant). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under this Article 15 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 15, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief and/or monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

DAMAGE OR
DESTRUCTION
Within
sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a
result of damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant ("Damage Repair
Estimate") of Landlord's reasonable estimated assessment of the period of
time in which the repairs will be completed. If the Project is
damaged by fire or other insured casualty and the insurance proceeds have been
made available therefor by the holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of
trust covering the Premises or the Project, the damage shall be diligently
repaired by Landlord to the extent such insurance proceeds are available
therefor and provided the Damage Repair Estimate indicates that repairs can be
completed within two hundred twenty (220) days after the necessity for repairs
as a result of such damage becomes known to Landlord, without the payment of
overtime or other premiums, and until such repairs are completed rent shall be
abated in proportion to the part of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in
the conduct of its business (but there shall be no abatement of rent by reason
of any portion of the Premises being unusable for a period equal to one (1) day
or less). However, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of
Tenant, its
23
employees, agents, contractors, guests, invitees and the like, there shall be no abatement of rent, unless and to the extent Landlord receives rental income insurance proceeds. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Section 14(a)(ii)(A) above, and if Landlord is required or elects to repair such damage as required in this Article 16, Landlord shall use such insurance proceeds assigned by Tenant for the repair and restoration of the Tenant Improvements and Alterations; provided, however, that if the cost of repair of improvements within the Premises by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as so assigned by Tenant, such excess costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord if this Lease has not been terminated due to such fire or casualty prior to Landlord's repair of such damage. If, however, the Damage Repair Estimate indicates that repairs cannot be completed within two hundred twenty (220) days after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to Landlord without the payment of overtime or other premiums, Landlord may, at its option, either (i) diligently make such repairs and in such event this Lease shall continue in effect and the rent shall be abated, if at all, in the manner provided in this Article 16, or (ii) elect not to effect such repairs and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises. In addition, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if the Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, if the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies or would not have been so covered by Landlord’s insurance policies, except for commercially reasonable deductible amounts, if Landlord had maintained the insurance required of Landlord by this Lease. However, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided above, and the Damage Repair Estimate indicates that repairs cannot be completed within two hundred twenty (220) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect, not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Damage Repair Estimate, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in Tenant's notice. Finally, if the Premises or the Project is damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 16 to the contrary, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage. In the event that the Premises or the Project is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and if such damage shall take longer than sixty (60) days to repair and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, licensees, invitees or agents, then notwithstanding anything in this Article 16 to the contrary, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after Tenant learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage. A total destruction of the Project shall automatically terminate this Lease. Except as provided in this Article 16, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business or property arising from such damage or destruction or the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures or equipment, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall have no right to any proceeds of insurance carried by Landlord relating to property damage. With respect to any damage which Landlord is obligated to repair or elects to repair, Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases any rights under law to terminate this Lease.

SUBORDINATION
Landlord
represents and warrants that the Project is not currently, as of the date of
this Lease, subject to any ground lease, mortgage or deed of
trust. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or
underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the property or the
Project, including all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof, subject, however, to Tenant’s right not to be disturbed so
long as no Event of
24
Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, if the lessor under any such lease or the holder or holders of any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that they desire or require this Lease to be prior and superior thereto, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord or such lessor, holder or holders deem necessary or desirable for purposes thereof. Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to be and become and remain subject and subordinate to any and all ground or underlying leases, mortgages or deeds of trust which may hereafter be executed covering the Premises, the Project or the property or any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or character of such advances, together with interest thereon and subject to all the terms and provisions thereof; provided, however, that as a condition thereto Landlord obtains from the lender or other party in question a written undertaking in favor of Tenant to the effect that such lender or other party will not disturb Tenant's right of possession under this Lease so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Tenant agrees, within twenty (20) days after Landlord's written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgages, deed of trust, or leasehold estates so long as it contains lender's agreement not to disturb Tenant's right of possession under this Lease so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (hereinafter, an "SNDA"). Tenant agrees that in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust or any deed in lieu thereof, to attorn to the purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof as so requested to do so by such purchaser and to recognize such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease, provided that as a condition thereto such purchaser agrees in writing to assume Landlord’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the security deposit and Letter of Credit and proceeds thereof. Tenant shall, subject to the same condition, within five (5) business days after request execute such further instruments or assurances as such purchaser may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm such attornment. Tenant agrees to provide copies of any notices of Landlord's default under this Lease to any mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary whose address has been provided to Tenant and Tenant shall provide such mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice within which to cure any such default; provided, however, such lender cure period shall not delay Tenant's right under Section 9(a) above to make repairs. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

EMINENT
DOMAIN
If the
whole of the Premises or the Project or Development Common Areas or so much
thereof as to render the balance unusable by Tenant or to render Tenant’s use of
the Premises materially impaired shall be taken under power of eminent domain,
or is sold, transferred or conveyed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall
automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date
possession is taken by the condemning authority, at Landlord's or Tenant's
option by notice to the other party. Landlord shall give Tenant
prompt notice of any condemnation proceedings affecting the Project or any
Development Common Areas that materially affect Tenant's business
operations. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be
apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord 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 contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in
or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for moving
or relocation expenses, the taking, removal or reinstallation of personal
property and trade fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant at the
expiration of the Term hereof as provided hereunder or for the interruption of,
or damage to, Tenant's business. In the event of a partial taking
described in this Article 18, or a sale, transfer or conveyance in lieu
thereof, which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Tenant’s
Proportionate Share shall be appropriately adjusted and Basic Rental for any
portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired
Term of this Lease according to the ratio that the part of the Premises
remaining useable by Tenant bears to the total area of the
25
Premises. Except as expressly herein provided, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have under law to terminate this Lease in the event of a taking under power of eminent domain.

DEFAULT
Each of
the following acts or omissions of Tenant or of any guarantor of Tenant's
performance hereunder, or occurrences, shall constitute an "Event of
Default":
(a) Failure or
refusal to pay Basic Rental, Additional Rent or any other amount to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder within three (3) business days after written notice
that the same is due or payable hereunder; said three (3) business day period
shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any statutory notice
requirements;
(b) Except as
set forth in items (a) above and (c) through and including (f) below,
failure to perform or observe any other covenant or condition of this Lease to
be performed or observed within thirty (30) days following written notice to
Tenant of such failure or such additional period of time after such notice as is
reasonably required to effect such cure, not to exceed ninety (90) days from the
date of such notice, if the nature of the obligation is such that the cure
cannot reasonably be completed in such thirty (30) day period. Such
thirty (30) day notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any
statutory notice requirements;
(c) Abandonment
or failure (after the Commencement Date) to accept tender of possession of the
Premises or any significant portion thereof;
(d) The filing
by Tenant or any guarantor hereunder in any court pursuant to any statute of a
petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement for
the appointment of a receiver of all or a portion of Tenant's property; the
filing against Tenant or any guarantor hereunder of any such petition, or the
commencement of a proceeding for the appointment of a trustee, receiver or
liquidator for Tenant, or for any guarantor hereunder, or of any of the property
of either, or a proceeding by any governmental authority for the dissolution or
liquidation of Tenant or any guarantor hereunder, if such proceeding shall not
be dismissed or trusteeship discontinued within sixty (60) days after
commencement of such proceeding or the appointment of such trustee or receiver;
or the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereunder of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors. Tenant hereby stipulates to the lifting of the
automatic stay in effect and relief from such stay for Landlord in the event
Tenant files a petition under the United States Bankruptcy laws, for the purpose
of Landlord pursuing its rights and remedies against Tenant and/or a guarantor
of this Lease;
(e) Tenant's
failure to cause to be released any mechanics liens filed against the Premises
or the Project arising from work contracted for or materials ordered by Tenant
within twenty (20) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice that the same
has been filed or recorded; or
(f) Tenant's
failure to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 7,
14, 17 or 25 within five (5) business days after notice from
Landlord.
All
defaults by Tenant of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed by
the parties hereto to be material.

REMEDIES
(a) Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease as provided in
Article 19 hereof, Landlord may exercise all of its remedies as may be
permitted by law, including but not limited to terminating this Lease,
reentering the Premises and removing all persons and property therefrom, which
property may be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk,
expense and for the account of Tenant. If Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the
aggregate of all amounts permitted
26
by law, including but not limited to (i) the worth at the time of award of the amount of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, tenant improvement expenses, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and (v) at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. The term "rent" as used in this Section 20(a) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in items (i) and (ii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in item (e), below, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in item (iii), above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Notwithstanding the above, if Landlord relets the Premises for a term (the "Relet Term") that extends past the Expiration Date of this Lease (without consideration of any earlier termination pursuant to this Article 20), the costs of reletting which may be included in Landlord’s damages under this Lease shall be limited to a prorated portion of such costs, based on the percentage that the length of the Term remaining on the date Landlord terminates this Lease bears to the length of the Relet Term. For example, if there are 2 years left on the Term at the time that Landlord terminates this Lease and, prior to the expiration of the 2 year period, Landlord enters into a lease with a Relet Term of 10 years with a new tenant, then only 20% of the costs of reletting shall be included when determining Landlord's damages.
(b) Nothing in
this Article 20 shall be deemed to affect Landlord's right to
indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to the termination of
this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the indemnification
clause or clauses contained in this Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord's re-entry to perform acts
of maintenance or preservation of or in connection with efforts to relet the
Premises or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon
Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof
and, until Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's
rights and remedies hereunder. Accordingly, if Landlord does not
elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may,
from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes
due.
(d) All
rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement
now or hereafter in force between Landlord and Tenant shall be cumulative and
not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies
given to Landlord by law, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies
shall not impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or
remedy.
(e) Any amount
due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid when due shall bear
interest at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum lawful
rate of interest from the due date until paid, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition to such
interest: (i) if Basic Rental is not paid on or before the fifth
(5th) day of
the calendar month for which the same is due, a late charge equal to five
percent (5%) of the amount overdue or $100, whichever is greater, shall be
immediately due and owing and shall accrue for each calendar month or part
thereof until such rental, including the late charge, is paid in full, which
late charge Tenant hereby agrees is a reasonable estimate of the damages
Landlord shall suffer as a result of Tenant's late payment and (ii) an
additional charge of $25 shall be assessed

for any check given to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant which is not honored by the drawee thereof; which damages include Landlord's additional administrative and other costs associated with such late payment and unsatisfied checks and the parties agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix Landlord's actual damage in such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to notice and the expiration of a five (5) day cure period prior to a imposition of any late charge or interest charge under this Section 20(e) one (1) time per calendar year; after such written notice has been provided to Tenant in a calendar year, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice prior to imposition of a late charge or interest under this Section 20(e) in such calendar year. Such charges for interest and late payments and unsatisfied checks are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any or all of Landlord's rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
(f) Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, in the event of any default, breach or
violation of Tenant's rights under this Lease by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive
remedies shall be an action for specific performance or action for actual
damages. Without limiting any other waiver by Tenant which may be
contained in this Lease and without waiving any rights expressly granted to
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any law granting it
the right to perform Landlord's obligation, or the right to terminate this Lease
on account of any Landlord default. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease to the contrary, (i) except as expressly provided in Article 5 above,
neither party shall be liable to the other, its contractors, agents or employees
or to any Landlord Parties for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive
damages or damages for loss of profits, and (ii) Landlord shall have the duty to
use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages if an Event of
Default occurs.

PARKING
During the
Term, Tenant and Tenant's employees and visitors shall be entitled to use,
commencing on the Commencement Date, the number of unreserved parking passes set
forth in Article 1.H. of the Basic Lease Provisions, which parking passes shall
pertain to the parking facility for the Development as currently shown on
Exhibit "F". Landlord shall not grant a license or any other
contractual right to park on the parking facility for the Development during
normal business hours on business days to anyone other than tenants or other
occupants of the Development and their employees, visitors, guests, vendors and
invitees. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any parking fee to
Landlord during the initial Term, however Tenant shall be responsible for the
full amount of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection
with the renting of such parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking
facility by Tenant. Tenant shall abide by all rules and regulations
which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the
parking facility where the parking passes are located, including any sticker or
other identification system established by Landlord, and cooperate to see that
Tenant's employees and visitors also comply with such rules and
regulations. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the
size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Development
parking facility at any time so long as such changes do not materially impair
Tenant’s access to the Premises or use of the parking lot on the Development or
reduce the number of parking passes which Tenant is entitled to have under this
Lease (except to the extent such changes are required by law), and Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to
Tenant and without any abatement of rent under this Lease, from time to time,
temporarily close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facility for
purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or
improvements. Landlord may, from time to time, relocate any reserved
parking spaces (if any) rented by Tenant to another location in the Project
parking facility. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities
hereunder to a parking operator or a lessee of the parking facility in which
case such parking operator or lessee shall have all the rights of control
attributed hereby to the Landlord. The parking passes provided to
Tenant pursuant to this Article 23 are provided to Tenant solely for use by
Tenant's own personnel and visitors and such passes may not be transferred,
assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord's prior
approval, except that Tenant may transfer a prorata number of such parking
passes (based on relative square footage) in connection with an assignment or
sublease made by Tenant pursuant to Article 15 above.

WAIVER
No waiver
by a party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by the other party of the
same or any other provision. No provision of this Lease may be waived
by Landlord or Tenant, except by an instrument in writing executed by such
waiving party. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant
requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent
act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or
approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents
during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of
the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by Landlord. The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the
failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less
than the total amount then due hereunder shall be deemed to be in partial
payment only thereof and not a waiver of the balance due or an accord and
satisfaction, notwithstanding any statement or endorsement to the contrary on
any check or any other instrument delivered concurrently therewith or in
reference thereto. Accordingly, Landlord may accept any such amount
and negotiate any such check without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
all balances due and owing and to pursue its other rights against Tenant under
this Lease, regardless of whether Landlord makes any notation on such
29
instrument of payment or otherwise notifies Tenant that such acceptance or negotiation is without prejudice to Landlord's rights.

Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, events or conditions, if any
are claimed. It is expressly understood and agreed that any such

Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder or any claim, cause
of action or obligation, contractual, statutory or otherwise by Tenant against
Landlord or the Landlord Parties concerning, arising out of or relating to any
matter relating to this Lease and all of the covenants and conditions or any

interest of Landlord in and to the Development, and (ii) the interest
Landlord would have in the Development if the Development were encumbered by

INABILITY TO
PERFORM
This Lease

hereunder or is delayed in doing so, to the extent such inability or delay is
caused by reason of any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts,
acts of God, or any other cause previously, or at such time, beyond the
reasonable control or anticipation of such party (collectively, a "Force
Majeure") and the time for performance of such obligations under this
Lease shall be extended to the extent of the delay caused by any such Force
Majeure; provided, however, that this Article 27 is not intended to, and

HAZARDOUS
WASTE
(a) Except as
provided in Section 28(b) below, Tenant shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Material (as defined in Section 28(d) below) to be brought, kept
or used in or about the Project by Tenant, its agents, employee, contractors, or
invitees. Tenant indemnifies Landlord and the Landlord Parties from
and against any breach by Tenant of the obligations stated in the preceding
sentence and/or Tenant's use, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous
Materials (pursuant to Section 28(b) below or otherwise), and Tenant agrees
to defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against
any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or
losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Project,
damages for the loss or restriction or use of rentable or usable space or of any
amenity of the Project, damages arising from any adverse impact or marketing of
space in the Project, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees and
costs, consultant fees, and expert fees) which arise during or after the Term of
this Lease as a result of such breach. This indemnification of
Landlord and the Landlord Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs
incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup,
remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state, or local
governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material
caused or permitted to be brought onto the Project by Tenant which is present in
the soil or ground water on or under the Project. Without limiting
the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Project caused
or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Project, then subject
to the provisions of Articles 9, 10 and 11 hereof, Tenant shall promptly take
all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Project to the
condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material and
the contractors to be used by Tenant for such work must be approved by Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would
not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the
Project and so long as such actions do not materially interfere with the use and
enjoyment of the Project by the other tenants thereof; provided however,
Landlord shall also have the right, by written notice to Tenant, to directly
undertake any such mitigation efforts with regard to such Hazardous Materials in
or about the Project due to Tenant's breach of its obligations pursuant to this
Section 28(a), and to charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, for the costs
thereof. Tenant's obligations under this Section 28(a) shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Landlord
acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Article 28 to prohibit Tenant
from operating its business for the Permitted Use as described in
Section 1(F) above. Tenant may operate its business and use
Hazardous Material on the Premises according to the custom of the industry so
long as the use or presence of any Hazardous Material is strictly and properly
monitored and accomplished according to all applicable Environmental
Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use
Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to
Landlord prior to the Commencement Date a list identifying each type of
Hazardous Material to be present on the Premises and setting forth any and all
governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of
any Hazardous Material on the Premises ("Hazardous Materials
List"). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous
Materials List at least once each calendar year and shall also deliver an
updated list before any new Hazardous Material is brought onto the Premises and
on or before the date Tenant obtains any additional permits or approvals for
Hazardous Materials. An Event of Default shall be deemed to have
occurred (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein) in the
event that (i) any use of the Premises by Tenant involves the generation,
storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Material in a manner or for a
purpose prohibited by any governmental agency or authority if Tenant fails to
cease such prohibited use of Hazardous Material in the Premises within three (3)
business days after notice to Tenant from Landlord to cease such use;
(ii) Tenant has been required by any lender or governmental authority to
take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Material contaminating the
Premises if the contamination resulted from Tenant's actions or use of the
Premises (unless Tenant is diligently seeking compliance with such remedial
action); or (iii) Tenant is subject to an enforcement order issued by any
governmental authority in connection with Tenant's use, disposal or storage of a
Hazardous Material on the Premises (unless Tenant is diligently seeking
compliance with such enforcement order). At any time prior to the
expiration of the Lease Term and upon Landlord's reasonable belief that certain
Hazardous Materials tests are advisable,
31
Landlord shall have the right following notice (except in the event of an emergency), to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times in order to conduct appropriate tests and to deliver to Tenant the results of such tests to attempt to demonstrate that contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, Landlord shall have the right to have an environmental audit of the Premises to be conducted within ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled expiration date of this Lease, or at termination of this Lease, if the Lease is terminated on a date other than the scheduled termination date. Tenant shall promptly perform any remedial action recommended by such environmental audit to remediate any Hazardous Material used, disposed of or stored on the Premises by Tenant in excess of action levels or governmental standards if the audit reveals that the Hazardous Materials resulted from the activities of Tenant. The costs of such audits shall be borne by Landlord unless the audit discloses the existence of Hazardous Materials in excess of action levels or governmental standards, that resulted from the activities of Tenant, in which case the costs of the audit shall be borne by Tenant.
(c) It shall
not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed
Transfer if (i) the proposed transferee's anticipated use of the Premises
involves the generation, storage, use, treatment, or disposal of Hazardous
Material (except as permitted as provided in Section 28(b) above); (ii) the
proposed Transferee has been required by any prior landlord, lender, or
governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous
Material contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such
Transferee's actions or use of the property in question; or (iii) the proposed
Transferee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any governmental
authority in connection with the use, disposal, or storage of a Hazardous
Material. Landlord shall cause all Hazardous Material that is
required to be removed or remediated by applicable Environmental Laws and that
was caused or permitted to be brought onto the Development by Landlord or its
agents or any Landlord Parties, or that existed on the Development as of the
Commencement Date, or that is brought onto the Development after the
Commencement Date by anyone other than Tenant or its employees, agents or
contractors, to be promptly be removed and remediated from the Development at
Landlord's sole cost and without including such costs in Operating Costs (except
for the inclusion in Operating Costs as provided in the qualification to the
exclusion in subsection 3(c)(ii)(22)(ii) above).
(d) As used
herein, the term "Hazardous
Material" means any hazardous or toxic substance, mate`rial, or waste
which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of
Washington or the United States Government. The term "Hazardous
Material" includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i)
designated as a "Hazardous Substance" pursuant to Section 311 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1317), (ii) defined as a

elsewhere for the account and at the expense and risk of Tenant, and if Tenant
shall fail to pay the cost of storing any such property after it has been stored

property at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places
as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem proper, without notice to or
demand upon Tenant, for the payment of all or any part of such charges or the
removal of any such property, and shall apply the proceeds of such sale as
follows: first, to the cost and expense of such sale, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for services rendered; second, to the
payment of the cost of or charges for storing any such property; third, to the
payment of any other sums of money which may then or thereafter be due to
Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and fourth, the balance, if
any, to Tenant.

applicable cure period set forth in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of
Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant's part to
be made or performed as is in this Lease provided. All sums so paid
by Landlord and all reasonable incidental costs, together with interest thereon
at the rate of specified in Section 20(e) above from the date of such
payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand and Tenant covenants
to pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment
thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the
rent.
35
(o) Access,
Changes in Project, Facilities, Name.
(i) Every part
of the Project except the inside surfaces of all walls, windows and doors
bounding the Premises, (including exterior building walls, the rooftop, core
corridor walls and doors and any core corridor entrance), and any space in or
adjacent to the Premises or within the Project used for shafts, stacks, pipes,
conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other building
facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises
for the purposes of operation, maintenance, decoration and repair, are reserved
to Landlord.
(ii) Landlord
reserves the right, without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to make
such changes in or to the Project and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as
well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, stairways and
other improvements thereof, as it may deem necessary or desirable, so long as no
such changes materially impair or interfere with Tenant’s ability to operate in
or have access to the Premises or use the parking area (except to the extent
such changes are required by law). Landlord shall give Tenant
reasonable prior notice prior to any such activity which may materially affect
Tenant's operations and shall conduct such activity in a reasonable manner so as
to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
(iii) Landlord
may adopt any name for the Project and Landlord reserves the right, from time to
time, to change the name and/or address of the Project; however, Landlord shall
give Tenant reasonable notice prior to changing the address of the Project and,
if such address change is initiated by Landlord (and not any governmental
authority), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of
stationery replacement necessitated by such change of address (not to exceed
$10,000.00).
(p) Signing
Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited
liability company, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said entity

corporation, a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said
corporation or in accordance with the By-laws of said corporation, (ii) if
Tenant is a partnership, the terms of the partnership agreement, and (iii) if

such resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of this
Lease on behalf of such corporation, which copy of resolution shall be duly
certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation to be a
true copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of said
corporation and shall be a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (B) if Tenant

the provisions of its operating agreement granting the requisite authority to
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said limited liability
company.
(q) Identification

(i) If Tenant
constitutes more than one person or entity, (A) each of them shall be jointly
and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of the
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease to be kept, observed
and performed by Tenant, (B) the term "Tenant" as used in this Lease shall mean
and include each of them jointly and severally, and (C) the act of or notice
from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of, any one or more of them, with
respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any
renewal, extension, expiration, termination or modification of this Lease, shall
be binding upon each and all of the persons or entities executing this Lease as
Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or
so given or received such notice or refund or so signed.
(ii) If Tenant
is a partnership (or is comprised of two or more persons, individually and as
co-partners of a partnership) or if Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be
assigned to a partnership (or to two or more persons, individually and as
co-partners of a partnership) pursuant to Article 15 hereof (any such
partnership and such persons hereinafter
36
referred to in this Section 30(q)(ii) as "Partnership Tenant"), the following provisions of this Lease shall apply to such Partnership Tenant:
(A) The
liability of each of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant shall be joint
and several.
(B) Each of
the parties comprising Partnership Tenant hereby consents in advance to, and
agrees to be bound by, any written instrument which may hereafter be executed,
changing, modifying or discharging this Lease, in whole or in part, or
surrendering all or any part of the Premises to the Landlord, and by notices,
demands, requests or other communication which may hereafter be given, by the
individual or individuals authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of
Partnership Tenant under Subparagraph (p) above.
(C) Any bills,
statements, notices, demands, requests or other communications given or rendered
to Partnership Tenant or to any of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant
shall be deemed given or rendered to Partnership Tenant and to all such parties
and shall be binding upon Partnership Tenant and all such
parties.
(D) If
Partnership Tenant admits new partners, all of such new partners shall, by their
admission to Partnership Tenant, be deemed to have assumed performance of all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be
observed and performed.
(E) Partnership
Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the admission of any such new
partners, and, upon demand of Landlord, shall cause each such new partner to
execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord,
wherein each such new partner shall assume performance of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease on Partnership Tenant's part to be
observed and performed (but neither Landlord's failure to request any such
agreement nor the failure of any such new partner to execute or deliver any such
agreement to Landlord shall terminate the provisions of clause (D) of this
Section 30(q)(ii) or relieve any such new partner of its obligations
thereunder).
(r) Intentionally
Omitted.
(s) Survival of
Obligations. Any obligations of Tenant or Landlord occurring
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive such
expiration or earlier termination.

Omitted.
(u) Governing
Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. No conflicts of
law rules of any state or country (including, without limitation, Washington
conflicts of law rules) shall be applied to result in the application of any
substantive or procedural laws of any state or country other than
Washington. All controversies, claims, actions or causes of action
arising between the parties hereto and/or their respective successors and
assigns, shall be brought, heard and adjudicated by the courts of the State of
Washington, with venue in the County of King. Each of the parties
hereto hereby consents to personal jurisdiction by the courts of the State of
Washington in connection with any such controversy, claim, action or cause of
action, and each of the parties hereto consents to service of process by any
means authorized by Washington law and consent to the enforcement of any
judgment so obtained in the courts of the State of Washington on the same terms
and conditions as if such controversy, claim, action or cause of action had been
originally heard and adjudicated to a final judgment in such
courts. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the laws
and courts of Washington were freely and voluntarily chosen to govern this Lease
and to adjudicate any claims or disputes hereunder.
(v) Office of
Foreign Assets Control. Tenant certifies to Landlord that
Tenant is not entering into this Lease, nor acting, for or on behalf of any
person or entity named as a terrorist or other banned or blocked person or
entity pursuant to any law, order, rule or regulation of the United States
Treasury Department or the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Tenant
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties
harmless from any and all Claims arising from or related to any breach of the
foregoing certification.
37
(w) Financial
Statements. Within ten (10) business days after Tenant's
receipt of Landlord's written request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
current financial statements of Tenant and financial statements for the two (2)
calendar or fiscal years (if Tenant's fiscal year is other than a calendar year)
prior to the current financial statement year. Any such statements
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and, if the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent
certified public accountant.
(x) Exhibits. The
Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference as if fully
set forth herein.
(y) Independent
Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the
covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent (and not dependent)
and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary
and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein,
Tenant shall not, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, be
entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord's expense
or to set off of any of the rent or other amounts owing hereunder against
Landlord.
(z) Counterparts. This
Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but such counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one
agreement.
ARTICLE
31
OPTION TO
EXTEND
(a) Option
Right. Landlord hereby grants the Tenant named in this Lease
(the "Original
Tenant") one (1) option ("Option") to
extend the Lease Term for the entire Premises for a period of five (5) years
("Option
Term"), which Option shall be exercisable only by written notice
delivered by Tenant to Landlord as set forth below. The rights
contained in this Article 31 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and
any "Affiliated Assignee," as that term is defined below, and may only be
exercised by the Original Tenant or an Affiliated Assignee (and not any other
transferee) if the Original Tenant or such Affiliated Assignee occupies the
entire Premises as of the date of Tenant's Acceptance (as defined in
Section 31(c) below). The term "Affiliate"
shall mean any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with Tenant (with the term "control"
meaning the ownership, directly or indirectly, of greater than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote in the
ordinary direction of its affairs, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting interest in, an entity). The term "Affiliated
Assignee" shall mean any assignee of Tenant's entire interest in this
Lease, where such assignee is an Affiliate.
(b) Option
Rent. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term
("Option
Rent") shall be equal to the "Market Rent" (defined
below). "Market Rent"
shall mean the applicable Monthly Basic Rental, including all escalations,
Direct Costs, additional rent and other charges at which tenants, as of the
commencement of the Option Term, are entering into leases for non-sublease space
which is not encumbered by expansion rights and which is comparable in size,
location and quality to the Premises in renewal transactions for a term
comparable to the Option Term, which comparable space is located in buildings
comparable to the Project in Bothell, Washington, taking into consideration the
value of the existing improvements in the Premises to Tenant, as compared to the
value of the existing improvements in such comparable space, with such value to
be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to
which the same could be utilized by Tenant with consideration given to the fact
that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to
Tenant.
(c) Exercise of
Options. The Option shall be exercised by Tenant only in the
following manner: (i) an Event of Default shall not have occurred and
be continuing, and an Event of Default shall not have occurred under this Lease
more than once in the preceding two (2) years, on the delivery date of the
Interest Notice and Tenant's Acceptance; (ii) Tenant shall deliver written
notice ("Interest
Notice") to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine
(9) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, stating that Tenant is
interested in exercising the Option, (iii) within fifteen (15) business days of
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice, Landlord shall deliver notice
("Option Rent
Notice") to Tenant setting forth the Option Rent; and (iv) if Tenant
desires to exercise such Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord
38
written notice within five (5) business days after receipt of the Option Rent Notice ("Tenant's Acceptance") and upon, and concurrent with such exercise, Tenant may, at its option, object to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice. Tenant's failure to deliver the Interest Notice or Tenant's Acceptance on or before the dates specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's election not to exercise the Option. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Option, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the rent for the Option Term shall be as indicated in the Option Rent Notice unless Tenant, concurrently with Tenant's Acceptance, objects to the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall follow the procedure and the Option Rent shall be determined, as set forth in Section 31(d) below.
(d) Determination
of Market Rent. If Tenant timely and appropriately objects to
the Market Rent in Tenant's Acceptance, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to
agree upon the Market Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If
Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following
Tenant's Acceptance ("Outside Agreement
Date"), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Market
Rent which shall be submitted to each other and to arbitration in accordance
with the following items (i) through (vii):
(i) Landlord
and Tenant shall each appoint, within ten (10) days of the Outside Agreement
Date, one arbitrator who shall by profession be a current real estate broker or
appraiser of comparable commercial properties in the immediate vicinity of the
Project, and who has been active in such field over the last five (5)
years. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely
to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Market Rent is the
closest to the actual Market Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into
account the requirements of item (b), above (i.e., the arbitrators may only
select Landlord's or Tenant's determination of Market Rent and shall not be
entitled to make a compromise determination).
(ii) The two
(2) arbitrators so appointed shall within five (5) business days of the date of
the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third
arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove
for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.
(iii) The three
arbitrators shall within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third
arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or
Tenant's submitted Market Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant
thereof.
(iv) The
decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon
Landlord and Tenant.
(v) If either
Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days after the
applicable Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall
reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's
decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) If the two
(2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third (3rd)
arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment
of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the matter to
be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of
the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instruction set forth
in this item (d).
(vii) The cost
of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
ARTICLE
32
RIGHT OF
FIRST OFFER
Landlord
hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer with respect to all space (other
than the Premises) on the first (1st) floor
of the Project ("First Offer
Space"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such first
offer right of Tenant shall commence only following the expiration or earlier
termination of (A) any existing lease pertaining to the First Offer Space,
and (B) as to any First Offer Space which is vacant as of the date of this
Lease, the first lease pertaining to any portion of such First Offer Space
entered into by Landlord after the date of this Lease
39
(collectively, the "Superior Leases"), including any renewal or extension of such existing or future lease, whether or not such renewal or extension is pursuant to an express written provision in such lease, and regardless of whether any such renewal or extension is consummated pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease (the rights described above to be known collectively as "Superior Rights"), and (ii) such right of first offer shall not be triggered by the lease of space in the Project by Landlord to an existing tenant in the Project in connection with the relocation of such existing tenant's premises in the Project. Tenant's right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 32.
(a) Procedure
for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the "First Offer
Notice") from time to time when Landlord determines that Landlord shall
commence the marketing of any First Offer Space because such space shall become
available for lease to third parties, where no holder of a Superior Right
desires to lease such space. The First Offer Notice shall describe
the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth Landlord's proposed material
economic terms and conditions applicable to Tenant's lease of such space
(collectively, the "Economic
Terms"), including the proposed term of lease and the proposed rent
payable for the First Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord's obligation to deliver the First Offer Notice shall not apply during
the last nine (9) months of the initial Lease Term unless Tenant has delivered
an Interest Notice to Landlord pursuant to Section 31(c) above nor shall
Landlord be obligated to deliver the First Offer Notice during the last eight
(8) months of the initial Lease Term unless Tenant has timely delivered Tenant's
Acceptance to Landlord pursuant to Section 31(c) above.
(b) Procedure
for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's right of
first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then
within five (5) business days after delivery of the First Offer Notice to
Tenant, Tenant shall deliver an unconditional irrevocable notice to Landlord of
Tenant's exercise of its right of first offer with respect to the entire space
described in the First Offer Notice, and the Economic Terms shall be as set
forth in the First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not unconditionally
exercise its right of first offer within the five (5) business day period, then
Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to
anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires and Tenant's right
of first offer shall terminate as to the First Offer Space described in the
First Offer Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at
all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any
particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion
thereof.
(c) Lease of
First Offer Space. If Tenant timely and properly exercises
Tenant's right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and
Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease
upon the same non-economic terms and conditions as applicable to the initial
Premises, and the Economic Terms provided in this
Article 32. Unless otherwise specified in Landlord's Economic
Terms, Tenant shall commence payment of rent for the First Offer Space and the
Lease Term of the First Offer Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of
such space to Tenant.
(d) No
Defaults. The rights contained in this Article 32 shall
be personal to the Original Tenant and any Affiliated Assignee, and may only be
exercised by the Original Tenant or an Affiliated Assignee (and not any other
transferee) if the Original Tenant or such Affiliated Assignee occupies the
entire Premises as of the date of the First Offer Notice. Tenant
shall not have the right to lease First Offer Space as provided in this
Article 32 if, as of the date of the First Offer Notice, or, at Landlord's
option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to
Tenant, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of
Default has occurred under this Lease more than once.
(e) Remedy. The
sole remedy of Tenant for a breach by Landlord of its obligations under this
Article 32 shall be an action against Landlord for a temporary restraining
order, preliminary injunction, injunction, specific performance and/or other
equitable remedy, and Tenant shall have no right to bring an action for damages
for such breach.
40
ARTICLE
33
SIGNAGE
Landlord
shall provide, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, Project-standard directory
and suite entry signage for the Premises. In addition, subject to
this Article 33, Tenant shall be entitled to install, at its sole cost and
expense, non-exclusive signage on the exterior of the Project ("Signage"). The
graphics, materials, size, color, design, lettering, lighting (if any),
specifications and exact location of the Signage (collectively, the "Signage Specifications")
shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval may
be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. In addition, the Signage
and all Signage Specifications therefore shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of
all required governmental permits and approvals, shall be subject to all
applicable governmental laws and ordinances, and all covenants, conditions and
restrictions affecting the Project. Tenant hereby acknowledges that,
notwithstanding Landlord's approval of the Signage and/or the Signage
Specifications therefor, Landlord has made no representations or warranty to
Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining such approvals and
permits. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary permits
and approvals for the Signage, Tenant's and Landlord's rights and obligations
under the remaining provisions of this Lease shall not be
affected. The cost of installation of the Signage, as well as all
costs of design and construction of such Signage and all other costs associated
with such Signage, including, without limitation, permits, maintenance and
repair, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that at any time during
the Term of this Lease (or any Option Term, if applicable), Tenant fails to
occupy at the entire Premises, Tenant's right to the Signage shall thereupon
terminate and Tenant shall remove such Signage as provided in this
Section 33 below. The rights to the Signage shall be personal to
the Original Tenant and may not be transferred, except that the Signage may be
transferred to an Affiliated Assignee provided that Landlord reasonably
determines that the name of the Affiliated Assignee is not an "Objectionable
Name," as that term is defined below. The term "Objectionable
Name" shall mean any name that (i) relates to an entity that is of a
character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or
faction that is materially inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or
which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a building comparable to
the Project, taking into consideration the level and visibility of Tenant's
Signage, or (ii) conflicts with any covenants in other leases of space in
the Development. Should the Signage require maintenance or repairs as
determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to
provide written notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall cause such repairs
and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
notice from Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Should Tenant
fail to perform such maintenance and repairs within the period described in the
immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right to cause such work
to be performed and to charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, for the cost of such
work. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or
the termination of Tenant's Signage right as described above), Tenant shall, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause the Signage to be removed from the
exterior of the Project and shall cause the exterior of the Project to be
restored to the condition existing prior to the placement of such
Signage. If Tenant fails to remove such Signage and to restore the
exterior of the Project as provided in the immediately preceding sentence within
thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in so performing such work shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord
within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of invoice therefor. The
immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

(the "Cost
Proposal").Tenant shall either (i) approve and deliver the Cost
Proposal to Landlord within three (3) business days of the receipt of the same,
or (ii) notify Landlord within three (3) business days after Tenant's

Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement
of any then remaining portion of the Improvement Allowance, and such
disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Improvement

the Construction Drawings or the Improvements, any additional costs which arise
in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other
additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord's
request as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount. Tenant shall
