other place as Landlord designates, the Minimum Rent, initially $15,375.00, plus
the additional amounts described in this Lease, in advance, on or before the
first day of each month of the Lease term.
3.2 Inflation Adjustment to Minimum Rent. Minimum Rent shall be
adjusted beginning on the 25th month of this Lease by using the revised Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers as published by the United States
Department of Labor for the Seattle Metropolitan area (the "Index"). As of the
25th month and on each anniversary of the Lease commencement date thereafter,
the percentage of change in the Index from the previous year compared to the
most current Index shall be multiplied by the Minimum Rent amount; the result
shall be added to the Minimum Rent to determine the Minimum Rent for the coming
year, the maximum adjustment increase shall be no more than 5%. In no event
shall Minimum Rent be less than the previous year's Minimum Rent. If the
publication of said Index is discontinued the Landlord in its sole discretion
shall select a similar replacement index from those available.
3.3 Late Rent and Other Charges. If any rent becomes more than 10 days
past due, Tenant will pay a late charge of 10% of the total monthly rent as
additional rent. However, Landlord may additionally exercise a statutory
Three-Day Notice to Quit Premises or Pay Rent as soon as, and anytime after,
rent is not paid on the first of the month. If so, Tenant will pay the
additional sum of $30 as the cost for preparing and serving notice and this
amount will be added to delinquent rent due. Tenant will pay a $20 fee for
special handling of any dishonored check as additional rent. If no rent check is
honored within the first 10 days of the month, Tenant will pay the late charge
and is subject to a Three-Day Notice to Quit Premises or Pay Rent, as above.
3.4 Interest. Interest will be charged by Landlord on the total rent
unpaid, beginning after delivery of the Notice to Quit Premises or Pay Rent, or
upon expiration of the ten day grace period, whichever date is earlier. The
interest shall be treated as additional rent due. Interest shall be at the rate
of 12% per year.
3.5 Rent Offset or Holdback Prohibited. Rent offsets or holding rent
back for any reason is hereby prohibited.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Landlord acknowledges receipt of Fifteen Thousand and
no/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) as a security deposit. Landlord may deduct from
this security deposit amounts owed under this Lease, including Landlord's costs
related to any default by Tenant. Tenant shall then pay to the Landlord any
deficiency for the default costs and pay to the Landlord the amount needed to
bring the security deposit back to its original amount. Repayment shall be made
within ten days of notice from Landlord. All interest earned on the security
deposit belongs to Landlord. Within 60 days from termination of tenancy and
vacation or abandonment of Premises, Landlord will give Tenant a statement of
the basis for retaining any of the security deposit and any additional amounts
due, or refund any amount due to Tenant at Tenant's last known address.
Withholding security deposit monies by Landlord does not relieve Tenant of
responsibility for payment of damages exceeding the security deposit amount.
Landlord may choose to proceed against Tenant for this additional amount,
together with reasonable attorney's fees. The security deposit may not be used
by Tenant for payment of last month's rent. If Landlord transfers its interest
in this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to the new Landlord for return of the
security deposit.

expense and after written notice to Landlord, may contest by appropriate
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence any lien,
encumbrance or charge against the Premises arising from work done or materials
provided to or for Tenant if, but only if, such proceedings suspend the
enforcement and collection of the lien or the lien claim and neither the
Premises or the Property is or will be in any danger of being sold, forfeited
or lost.
13. CONDEMNATION.
13.1 General. If a public or quasi public authority, or private
corporation or individual having the power of condemnation (condemnation being
the exercise of power by legal proceedings or otherwise and/or a voluntary sale
or transfer to the condemnor under threat of condemnation) purchases a portion
of or all of the Premises, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the
portion so taken as of the date the condemnor has right to possession. If a
portion of the Premises taken renders the remaining portion untenantable and
unusable by Tenant, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease.
13.2 Taking of the Property. If a portion of the Property is
taken by condemnation (whether or not the Premises are affected) and (i)
Landlord determines that the remaining portions cannot be economically and
effectively used by it, or (ii) in the opinion of the Landlord the building
should be restored in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, then
Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease.
13.3 Restoration and Repair. If a portion of the Premises is
condemned and neither party elects to terminate the Lease, then Landlord
shall, to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord and equitably
allocated by Landlord among the Premises and other portions of the Property,

Tenant must repair, restore or replace alterations or property and at its sole
expense. Any sums received by Tenant due to the taking shall be applied to the
restoration and repair of Alterations.
13.4. Exercise of Options. If either party elects to exercise any
option to terminate the Lease under this Section 13, it shall do so by giving
written notice of the election to the other party not later than ninety (90)

necessity or its equivalent by a court or other tribunal having jurisdiction
over the Property or otherwise), and if such notice is given, this Lease shall
terminate on the earlier of the date stated in the notice or the date of taking.
13.5 Claims. Any compensation related to the condemnation paid to
Landlord, including compensation for the value of the leasehold, is the
property for the Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all
claims to the compensation. However, the Tenant is not precluded from asserting
claims against condemnor, not Landlord, for the taking of Tenant's personal
property or for moving expenses.

vehicles on the Property or other property under Landlord's control, including

Tenant, its customers and other Tenants of Landlord's building(s).

interest therein, and shall not sublet or share all or any part of the Premises
(voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law), without the prior written
consent of the Landlord; which shall not be unreasonably withheld and any
attempt to do so without such consent shall be void and constitute breach of
this Agreement.

of Landlord to any assignment or subletting, by Tenant or Tenant's sub or
assignees of any tier, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed
by Tenant under this Lease, whether before or after such consent, assignment or
subletting. The consent of Landlord to an assignment or subletting does not
relieve the obligation to obtain Landlord's prior written consent to any other
assignment or subletting. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or
entity other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any
provision of this Lease or be deemed a consent to any assignment or subletting.
All assignees or subletters shall assume all obligations of this Lease.
15.3 Transfers of Stock or Other Assets. If Tenant (or any of its
permitted successors or assigns) is a corporation or a partnership, any
transfer of the Lease by merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, or
any change in the majority ownership of or power to vote a majority of its
outstanding voting stock, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of
law, shall constitute a voluntary assignment for purposes of this Section 15.
Landlord agrees to such assignment.
15.4 Transfer and Assignment of Premises by Landlord. Landlord shall
have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, its rights and
obligations under this Lease and in the Premises and/or the Property. In the

accruing from and after the effective date of the transfer.
16. ACCESS. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times to clear, inspect, make repairs, additions or alterations, and
to show the Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers or mortgagees. Landlord
agrees to give Tenant 24 hours notice prior to access except in the case of
emergency.
17. DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING.
17.1 Repairs by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any portion of
the building in which the Demised Premises are located should be damaged or
destroyed during the Lease term by any casualty, the Landlord may either
terminate this Lease or elect to repair and/or restore the damage or
destruction. If the Landlord elects to repair and/or rebuild, the Tenant's
rent shall be abated, as provided below, during the time of restoration.
Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord's intentions within ninety
(90) days after the casualty. If the Landlord elects not to repair or rebuild
then this Lease shall terminate without further notice, and all further
obligations under this Lease of either party shall cease as of the date Tenant
was forced to cease business in the Premises. If such damage occurs and this
Lease is not so terminated by Landlord this Lease shall remain in full force and
in effect. The Landlord's obligation under this paragraph shall not exceed the
work done in the original construction of the Premises.
17.2 Continuation of Business. At Tenants option, Tenant agrees
during any period of reconstruction or repair of the Premises and/or of said
building to continue the operation of its business in the Premises to the
extent reasonably practical.

17.4 Abatement of Rent. The rent shall be abated, in a fair
proportion as determined by Landlord, during any period in which there is
damage or restoration causing substantial interference with the operation of
Tenant's business. No abatement shall occur if the damage or destruction was
caused in whole or in part by Tenant.
18. TENANT INDEMNIFICATION, LIABILITY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE.
18.1. No Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and
Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury or damage to any
person or property in or about Premises or the Property by or from any cause
whatsoever including, but not limited to, water leakage from the roof, walls,
basement or other portion of the Premises or the Property, or caused by repairs,
operations, gas, fire, oil, electricity; provided, that nothing contained in
this Lease relieves Landlord from liability for any such injury or damage caused
solely by Landlord's negligence or failure to perform normal maintenance.
Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be received by Landlord under
this Lease, assumes all risk of, and waives and releases all claims for, any
damages through Tenant, which damages result from any accident or occurrence in

solely by the negligence of Landlord, or failure to perform normal maintenance,
its agents or invitees.

Landlord's negligence, or failure to perform normal maintenance, (ii) occurring
in, on or about any part of the Property, the use of which Tenant may have in
conjunction with other tenants or occupants of the Building, when such injury
or damage shall be caused in whole or in part by the act or omission of Tenant,
its officers, agents, contractors, employees, licensees, or invitees, (iii)
arising from the conduct or management of any work or thing done by Tenant in
or about, or from transactions of Tenant concerning, the Premises, or (iv)
arising from any breach or default under this Lease by Tenant, or from any act
or omission of Tenant, or any of its officers, agents, employees, contractors,
licensees, or invitees. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed to
make Tenant responsible for loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from
injuries to third parties caused solely by the negligence or failure to perform
normal maintenance, or of Landlord or its officers, agents, employees,
contractors, licensees, or invitees. The provisions of this Section 18.2 shall
service the expiration of or termination of this Lease with respect to any
events occurring prior to such expiration or termination. Upon notice by
Landlord, Tenant at Tenant's expense shall defend Landlord, in any action or
preceding brought against Landlord by reason of any claim described in this
Section 18.2.

accident and in which the property damage portion shall not be less than
$500,000.

either to person or property, sustained by Tenant or others for any reason,
including damage caused by any defects now in said Premises or hereafter
occurring, or due to the failure of Tenant to make repairs to the premises that
are the tenant's responsibility, or caused by fire, windstorm, flood, vandalism
or theft, etc., or from any act of God or a third party.
19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon written
request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its
designee a written certificate of Tenant stating: that Tenant has accepted the
Premises (or if Tenant has not done so, that Tenant has not accepted the

trust. Not withstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to
subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such liens to this Lease. Tenant
shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the tenant of the

default with due diligence, or is diligently taking steps to obtain the right to
enter the Premises and cure the default, whichever is later.

improvements to the Property, or any personal property of such party, that is
caused or results from fire and other perils insured against under the normal
extended coverage clauses of standard insurance policies carried by the parties
and in force at the time of damage or loss.
22. DEFAULT.
22.1. Right to Re-enter. If Tenant fails to pay rent within three
(3) days following delivery to the Premises of a "Notice to Pay Rent"; or if
Tenant fails to perform any provisions of the Lease, other than rent, for more

if Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent files any debtor proceedings or files,
or has taken against it, any proceedings of any kind under any provisions of a
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or suffers this Lease to be taken under
any writ of execution; then Landlord besides other rights or remedies it may
have, may immediately re-enter and remove all persons and property from the
Premises and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost
of and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to
legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for

above-mentioned remedies for default, those remedies shall not be deemed
exclusive, and Landlord may use and proceed under any legal procedures
available, including eviction pursuant to RCW 59.12.
22.4. Right to Re-let. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein
provided for above, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings
or pursuant to any notice provided by law, it may either terminate this Lease or
it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations
and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-let said Premises or any part
thereof for such terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of
this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion deems advisable.
22.4.1. Application of Rent from Re-letting. Upon each such
re-letting described above, all rentals received by the Landlord from the
re-letting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than
rent due hereunder from the Tenant to Landlord; second to the payment of rent
due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and
applied in payment of future rent on the same basis as listed herein and as the
rentals may become due and payable hereunder. If sub-letting rentals received
during any month after deduction for non-rent obligations of Tenant to Landlord
as described above are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant
hereunder, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall have no right to any excess rental.
22.4.2. Termination. No re-entry or taking possession of said
Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Not withstanding any re-letting without termination, Landlord may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to
any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may
incur by reason of the breach including the costs and reasonable attorney's
fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if
any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in the Lease
for the remainder of the stated term; all such amounts shall be immediately due
and payable from Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.
22.5. Landlord Default. Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days, or
longer if more time is reasonably required, to cure default after written notice
is received from Tenant.

23. COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES; ACTIONS. In an action for breach of this
Lease, the losing party agrees to pay the prevailing party's reasonable costs
and attorney's fees. Venue for any legal action brought under this Lease is in
the county in which the Premises are situated. Washington law shall govern this
Lease.
24. NON-WAIVER; NO ACCORD SATISFACTION. The waiver by Landlord of any
breach of any Lease provision is not a waiver of the provision. Acceptance of
rent by Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver of any existing breach by Tenant
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of that breach when accepting the rent.
Landlord's acceptance of keys from the Tenant shall not waive any provision of
the Lease. No payment by tenant, or receipt by Landlord of less than the full
monthly rent, or any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any payment of rent, may be deemed accord and satisfaction. The
Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right
to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other legal remedy.
25. SURRENDER OF LEASE AND HOLDING OVER.
25.1. Surrender Upon Termination. At the expiration of the Lease
term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition of cleanliness,
repair and sightliness the Premises were in upon commencement of the Lease,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall surrender all keys to the
Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for payment of rent, and shall
inform Landlord of all combination on locks and safes. Tenant shall remove all
its movable personal property at its own expense. Any property not so removed
shall be disposed of by Landlord without account to Tenant. Tenant shall be
liable for Landlord's costs regarding the property. If the Premises are not
surrendered at such time, whether with Landlord's consent or not, Tenant
indemnifies Landlord against loss of liability resulting from delay by Tenant
in surrendering the Premises, including without limitation, any claims made by
any succeeding tenant founded upon the delay. Tenant's obligation to observe or
perform this covenant shall survive termination of the Lease.
25.2 Liquidated Damages. If Tenant at termination of this Lease fails
to yield possession to Landlord, Landlord may require Tenant to pay and Tenant
shall pay as liquidated damages for each day possession is withheld, an amount
equal to double the amount of the daily Minimum Rent last in effect, computed
on a thirty day month basis.
25.3 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the said
term, with the consent of the Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy
from month to month at the monthly rentals herein specified in the paragraph on
Liquidated Damages above and shall otherwise be on the Lease's terms and
conditions.
26. EVENTS BEYOND PARTIES' CONTROL. If either party hereto is delayed or
prevented from performing any act required here-under, except payment of rent
and all other amounts by Tenant, by reason of labor troubles, inability to
procure materials, failure of power or water, restrictive governmental laws or
regulations, riots, war or other reason of like nature not the fault of the
party delayed, then performance of such act is excused for the period of the
delay and the period for the performance extended for a period equal to the
delay.
27. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the rental payable
to Landlord hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other
security measures, and that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to
provide same. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant,
its agents and invitees from acts of third parties.
28. RECYCLING. Tenant will recycle materials including, but not limited
to, the following: Newspaper, Aluminum/Metal/Tin, Glass, #1 PET & #2 HDPE
