4.5 Pre-Term Possession. If Landlord is to construct or remodel the Premises, Landlord may notify Tenant when the Premises are ready for Tenant’s fixture installation or Tenant’s work. Tenant shall be granted access to the Premises as soon as reasonably possible (subject to not interfering with Landlord’s construction of the Tenant Improvements) and in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant may then enter the Premises at its own risk to make such improvements, to install fixtures, supplies, inventory and other property. Tenant will not interfere with the progress of Landlord’s work by such entry.

5.2 No Set Off. All Rent due under this Lease shall be paid without prior notice, demand, deduction, setoff, offset, counterclaim, suspension or abatement except as expressly provided in Articles 13 and 19.
5.3 Advance Rent. The sum specified in Section 1.8 (B) is paid to Landlord upon execution of this Lease as advance Rent; provided, however, that Landlord shall hold such amount as a Security Deposit pursuant to the Lease until Landlord applies it to the Base Rent.
5.4 Late Charges; Interest. Tenant acknowledges that late payment of Rent or other sums due under the Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include processing and accounting charges, late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance covering the Premises, and interest costs. If Landlord does not receive Rent or any other payment due from Tenant on the due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent of such Rent or other payment as a late charge. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge does not waive Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. In addition to the late charge, Tenant shall pay interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum on any Rent or other sum not paid within 30 days of the date due.
ARTICLE 6. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit within five business days following execution of the Lease. As provided in Paragraph E of Addendum No 1, the Security Deposit shall initially be in the form of a letter of credit. The Security Deposit will be held pursuant to this Section. The Security Deposit, if or when in the form of cash, is Landlord’s separate property and Landlord is not required to keep it separate from its general accounts or pay interest for its use. The Security Deposit is not an advance or other payment of Rent (except as set forth in Section 5.3 or when applied to Rent by Landlord) or a measure of damages. If Tenant fails to pay Rent or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may apply such portion of the Security Deposit as it reasonably deems necessary to satisfy past due Rent or otherwise cure the default. If Landlord elects to so apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to that portion of the Security Deposit applied by Landlord ten days after written demand; Tenant’s failure to so do is a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall return the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the later of (i) receipt of the final Rent due from Tenant or (ii) the date that Tenant has surrendered the Premises to Landlord in compliance with the provisions of Article 24.
ARTICLE 7. SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT

Landlord shall provide climate control to the Premises from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (Sundays and holidays excepted) (the “Climate Control Hours”) to maintain a temperature adequate for comfortable occupancy, provided that Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply climate control service when making repairs, alterations or improvements or when prevented from so doing by strikes or any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, so long as Landlord uses reasonable and diligent efforts to restore service and minimize any interruptions after receiving notice of any failure or interruption of service from Tenant. Any climate control furnished for periods not within the Climate Control Hours pursuant to Tenant’s request shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with rate schedules promulgated by Landlord from time to time, which rate schedules shall not include any markup for Landlord. As of the date of mutual execution of this Lease, the rate for after hours service is $30 per hour. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has installed in the Building a system for the purpose of climate control. Any use of the Premises not in accordance with the design standards or any arrangement of partitioning which interferes with the normal operation of such system may require changes or alterations in the system or ducts through which the climate control system operates. Any changes or alterations so occasioned, if such changes can be accommodated by Landlord’s equipment, shall be made by Tenant at its cost and expense but only with the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained, and in accordance with drawings and specifications

and by a contractor first approved in writing by Landlord. If installation of partitions, equipment or fixtures by Tenant necessitates the re-balancing of the climate control equipment in the Premises, Landlord will perform the re-balancing at Tenant’s expense. Tenant acknowledges that up to one year may be required after Tenant has fully occupied the Premises in order to adjust and balance the climate control systems. Any charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder shall be due within ten days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord, which invoice may precede Landlord’s expenditure for the benefit of Tenant.
7.2 Elevator Service.

Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above or any other services and/or utilities that Landlord may supply or which are supplied will be free from interruption and/or the need for maintenance and repairs or replacement. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption or failure in utility, telecommunication or other services, including the Lines, so long as Landlord uses reasonable and diligent efforts to restore service and minimize any interruptions after receiving notice of any failure or interruption of service from Tenant, nor shall such interruption or failure affect the continuation or validity of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any one or more such services may be suspended or reduced by reason of unavoidable emergency repairs, by strikes or accidents, by any cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by orders or regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal authority. In addition, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from, (a) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (b) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (c) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other occupants of the Complex, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Building to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Landlord

shall use reasonable, diligent and good faith efforts to minimize the impact and duration of any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections. Any such interruption or suspension of services shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant of performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE 8. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
8.1 Restriction on Transfer. Except as expressly provided in Article 8, Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein or sublet or license the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (each a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord agrees it shall not unreasonably withhold. For purposes of this Article, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of fifty percent or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership or beneficial interest in such entity, if made for the purpose of circumventing the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Article 8, will be deemed a Transfer and will be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Article. The immediately preceding sentence will not apply to public corporations, the stock of which is traded through a public exchange.
8.2 Transfer Notice. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, at least 30 days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant will give Notice (the “Transfer Notice”), stating the name, address and business of the proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee (the “Transferee”) and a description of the Premises, or portion thereof, to be Transferred (the “Transfer Premises”). The Notice must contain information in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of Transferee (including references, financial statements), the Transfer Date, and a description of the relationship between Tenant and Transferee.
8.3 Landlord’s Options. Within 15 days of receipt of a Transfer Notice and all financial information, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of the following: (i) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose in providing such consent (which shall not entail changes to the rights or the obligations of either party under the Lease); (ii) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or (iii) terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned and recapture that portion of the Premises for reletting by Landlord.
8.4 Additional Conditions. A condition precedent to any Transfer will be the delivery to Landlord of evidence of insurance as required under the Lease and the correct legal name and notice address for the Transferee. Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 8.6 below, Tenant undertaking the transfer (“Transferor”) agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50 percent of all sums and other consideration payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the Transferee in excess of the Rent payable under the Lease for the same period and portion of the Premises. In calculating excess Rent or other consideration which may be payable to Landlord under this paragraph, Tenant will be entitled to deduct a monthly amortization of commercially reasonable third party brokerage commissions and attorney’s fees and other amounts reasonably and actually expended by Tenant in connection with the Transfer if acceptable written evidence of such expenditures is provided to Landlord. No Transfer will release Transferor (or any prior Transferor) of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Transferor (or any prior Transferor) to perform all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Transferor by said Transferee. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer will not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by Transferee, Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any other terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Transferor without the necessity of exhausting remedies against Transferee or successor. If Tenant requests the consent of Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant will pay Landlord a review fee of $500.00, which shall include all Landlord’s attorney’s fees.
8.5 Recapture. By Notice to Tenant (the “Termination Notice”) within thirty days after Landlord receives the information specified in Section 6.2, Landlord may terminate this Lease in the event of a Transfer of
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
10 |
the Lease as to the entire Premises, or terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises to be transferred, if the Transfer is for less than the entire Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as to the Transfer Premises, an amendment to this Lease shall be executed restating the description of the Premises and reducing Tenant’s obligations for Rent and other charges in proportion to the reduction in rentable area of the Premises. In such event, unless the parties otherwise agree, the date, on which the termination shall take effect, shall be the date of the proposed transfer identified in Tenant’s notice. If Landlord elects a whole or partial termination hereunder, Landlord may enter into a new lease with the intended Transferee or any other person covering the Transfer Premises on such terms as Landlord and such person may agree. In such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit that Landlord may realize on account of such termination and reletting. Upon the termination of this Lease, the Parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Lease except for matters occurring or obligations arising prior to the date of such termination. This Section 8.5 shall not apply to Permitted Transfers, as defined in Section 8.6 below.
8.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior consent, assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to: (i) a subsidiary, parent, affiliate, division, or corporation controlled or under common control of Tenant, (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, non bankruptcy reorganization, or governmental action, or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of the Tenant’s assets (each a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, (1) The financial strength of the proposed Transferee is comparable to or better than that of Tenant, measured as of the date of mutual execution of this Lease; (2) Tenant shall provide advance written notice of the Permitted Transfer to Landlord; and (3) shall within 10 days after the Permitted Transfer deliver a document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that (a) evidences such Permitted Transfer, (b) provides the legal name and address of the transferee and (c) confirms the transferee’s assumption of all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. For the purpose of this Lease, the sale, transfer, issuance, or resale of Tenant’s capital stock of any class shall not be deemed a Transfer, nor require Landlord’s consent. Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease following any Permitted Transfer.

Tenant or Tenant Parties shall not sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about the Premises, any article that may be prohibited by Landlord Insurance. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall comply with all requirements of any insurance company, necessary to maintain property damage and commercial general liability insurance covering the Premises, Building, or Complex.
9.3 Increase in Premiums. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent and not as part of Operating Costs, any increase in premiums on policies which may be carried by Landlord on the Premises, the Building or the Complex, or any blanket policies which include the Building or Complex, covering damage thereto and loss of Rent caused by fire and other perils resulting from the nature of Tenant’s occupancy or any act or omission of Tenant.

ARTICLE 12. INDEMNIFICATION, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND SUBROGATION
12.1 Intent and Purpose. The Parties intend that the indemnity and waiver of claims provisions of this Lease assigns the risk for a particular casualty to the party obligated to carry the insurance for such risk (which is not a limitation of the assignment of the risk), without respect to the causation (other than due to the intentional and wrongful acts of a party), but including the Parties’ negligence.
12.2 Waiver of Subrogation. The Parties release each other from any claims for damage to the Premises, Building and Complex, and to the furniture, fixtures, and other business personal property, Tenant’s
/s/ SS |

improvements and alterations of either Landlord or Tenant, in or on the Premises, Building and Complex, and for loss of income, to the extent such damages or loss are actually covered and proceeds are actually paid by insurance policies maintained by the Parties or that would have been covered by insurance policies required of the Parties under this Lease.
12.3 Indemnity.
12.3.1 Tenant’s Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful acts and subject to the waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 12.2, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against all actions, claims, demands, damages, liabilities, Losses, penalties, or expenses of any kind (“Claims”) brought or imposed upon Landlord or which Landlord may pay or incur by reason of injury to person or property, from whatever cause including the negligence of the Parties hereto, in any way connected with (a) the use of the Premises or Alterations, improvements or personal property therein or thereon, by Tenant or Tenant Parties; (b) any violation or alleged violation by Tenant or any Tenant Parties of any Laws and Regulations; (c) any liability under any Laws and Regulations by Tenant or any Tenant Parties; (d) any breach of the provisions of Article 16 by Tenant or any Tenant Parties; or (e) any Release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, Building or Complex by Tenant or Tenant Parties.

For the sole purpose of giving full force and effect to the indemnification obligations under this Agreement and not for the benefit of any employees of Tenant or any third parties unrelated to the parties indemnified under this Agreement, Tenant specifically and expressly waives any immunity that may be granted under the Washington State Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51 RCW. (TENANT’S INITIALS /s/ EF ). Further the indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable to or for any third party under Worker Compensation Acts, Disability Benefit Acts or other employee benefit acts.

(LANDLORD’S INITIALS /s/ SS ).

It is understood and agreed that the release set forth herein extends to all claims of every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected.
12.5 References.

ARTICLE 13. DESTRUCTION
13.1 Rights of Termination. If the Premises suffer an Uninsured Property Loss or a property loss which cannot be repaired within 195 days from the date of destruction, as determined by Landlord, Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage (the “Loss Date”) upon Notice to Tenant. If the Premises cannot be repaired within 195 days of the Loss Date, as determined by Landlord and stated in Landlord’s Notice to Tenant, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given within 20 days of Landlord’s Notice that the restoration time will exceed 195 days. Landlord’s Notice shall be given within 45 days of the Loss Date or as soon thereafter as the restoration time can be determined. “Uninsured Property Loss” is any damage or destruction for which the insurance proceeds available to Landlord are insufficient to pay for the repair or reconstruction of the Premises.
13.2 Repairs. In the event of a casualty that may be repaired within 195 days from the Loss Date, or if the Parties do not elect to terminate this Lease under Section 13.1, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall promptly undertake to make repairs to reconstitute the Premises to as near as practicable to the condition as existed prior to the Loss Date. The partial destruction shall in no way void this Lease except, to the extent of Landlord’s recovery under its rent abatement insurance for the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Base Rent and any Additional Rent following the property loss until the time the Premises are restored. The reduction amount will reflect the degree of interference with Tenant’s business. As long as Tenant conducts business in the Premises, there shall be no abatement until the Parties agree on the amount thereof. If the Parties cannot agree within 45 days of the Loss Date, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Upon the resolution of the dispute, the settlement shall be retroactive and Landlord shall within ten days thereafter refund to Tenant any sums due in respect of the reduced Rent from the date of the property loss. Landlord’s obligations to restore shall in no way include any construction originally performed by Tenant or subsequently undertaken by Tenant, but shall include solely that property constructed by Landlord prior to commencement of the Term.
13.3 Repair Costs. The cost of any repairs to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2 shall be paid by Landlord using available insurance proceeds.
13.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives all statutory or common law rights of termination in respect to any partial destruction or property loss which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Article. Further, in event of a property loss occurring during the last two years of the original term hereof or of any extension, Landlord need not undertake any repairs and may cancel this Lease unless Tenant has the right under the terms of this Lease to extend the term for an additional period of at least five years and does so within 30 days of the date of the property loss.
13.5 Landlord’s Election. If the Complex or Building is destroyed by more than 35 percent of the replacement cost, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises are damaged or not, as set forth in Section 13.1. A total destruction of the Complex terminates this Lease.

ARTICLE 14. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of less than the full Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment will be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Landlord may accept partial payment from Tenant without invalidation of any contractual notice required to be given herein and without invalidation of any notice required to be given by law.
ARTICLE 15. USE
The Premises may be used and occupied only for the Permitted Use and for no other use. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in any manner that will disturb any other tenant in the Building or Complex, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenant or occupants of the Building or Complex, or injure or annoy them or create any unreasonable smells, noise or vibrations (taking into account the nature and tenant-mix of the Building). Tenant shall not allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain, or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises, Building or Complex. Tenant shall comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity including the Americans with Disabilities Act (“Laws”), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit F (the “Rules and Regulations”) and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge as of the date of mutual execution of this Lease, neither Laws and Regulations nor the CC&Rs prohibit use of the Premises for general office use.
ARTICLE 16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
16.1 Tenant’s Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall comply with and faithfully observe in the use or occupancy of the Premises the Laws and Regulations. Tenant’s obligation to comply with and observe the Laws and Regulations shall apply regardless of whether such Laws and Regulations regulate or relate to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises or relate to the use of premises in general, and regardless of the cost thereof. A judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that any Laws and Regulations pertaining to the Premises have been violated, is conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
16.2 Condition of Premises. Subject to the express warranties made by Landlord elsewhere herein, and subject to performance of Landlord’s work, if any, as stated in Exhibit C, Tenant hereby accepts the Premises in “AS IS” condition as of the date of occupancy, subject to all applicable Laws and Regulations, Restrictions, and requirements in effect during any part of the Term regulating the Premises, and without other representation, warranty or covenant by Landlord, express or implied, as to the condition, habitability or safety of the Premises, the suitability or fitness thereof for their intended purposes. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises in such condition are in good and sanitary order, condition and repair.
16.3 Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall use and store in the Premises and Complex only ordinary and general office and cleaning supplies containing Hazardous Materials in normal and customary amounts, those Hazardous Materials listed in Exhibit H attached hereto, and such other Hazardous Materials as have been previously approved by Landlord in writing (which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion) and which are reasonably necessary for Tenant’s business. All such Hazardous Materials approved by Landlord shall be limited to quantities consistent with the approved use of the Premises and shall be used, stored and disposed of in full compliance with all Environmental Laws. Tenant shall not suffer or allow the introduction of any contaminating agent that would adversely impact the indoor air quality in the building, and shall at its sole
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||

15 |
cost and expense, provide any venting or any other precautionary measures for the Hazardous Materials stored and used by it in the Premises, as may be required under applicable Laws and Regulations and as is otherwise consistent with standard industry practice.
16.4 Mold. Tenant shall give Landlord Notice of any evidence of Mold, water leaks or water infiltration in the Premises within three business days of their discovery. To the extent that Tenant fails to give such Notice to Landlord on a timely basis or the mold is attributable to the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, then, at its expense, Tenant shall investigate, clean up and remediate any such Mold in the Premises. Investigation, clean up and remediation may be performed only after Tenant has Landlord’s written approval of a plan. If Tenant gives timely Notice of the discovery of Mold and such Mold is not attributable to the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, then at its expense, Landlord shall investigate, clean up and remediate any such Mold in the Premises. All clean up and remediation shall be done in compliance with any applicable Laws and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and Lender.
ARTICLE 17. ALTERATIONS
17.1 Consent of Landlord; Ownership. Tenant shall not make or allow alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (collectively “Alterations”), including any increasing telecommunication demands or requiring the addition or expansion of Lines dedicated to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may not make any Alterations that affect Structural elements. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, all Alterations shall be removed by Tenant unless: (i) Landlord has approved the Alteration in writing stating that they need not be so removed, or (ii) prior to the end of the Term Landlord, in its sole and subjective discretion, advises Tenant in writing that all or some portion of the Alterations need not be removed and in which cases such Alterations shall become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove its trade fixtures placed upon the Premises provided that Tenant restores the Premises as indicated below.
17.2 Requirements. Landlord may condition its consent for any Alterations upon Tenant complying at its expense with reasonable conditions and requirements, including preparation of all construction plans, drawings and specifications for approval by Landlord; the use of contractors and subcontractors approved by Landlord; the delivery of performance and payment bonds showing Landlord as a beneficiary; and the delivery to Landlord of duplicate originals of all marked construction drawings. In requesting Landlord’s consent, Tenant may (x) ask Landlord to provide the approval set forth in Section 17.1 (i) and if Landlord does not so approve, in writing, it shall be deemed that Tenant must remove the Alteration unless Landlord later exercises its right under Section 17.1 (ii) or (y) condition Tenant’s willingness to do the Alteration on Landlord’s written agreement that Tenant can remove the Alteration at the end of the Lease Term. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits for any Alterations as its sole obligation and expense, and strictly comply with the following requirements:
(a) Following approval by Landlord of Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten days’ prior Notice of commencement of work in the Premises so that Landlord may post notices of non-responsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law;
(b) The Alterations must use materials of at least equal quality to Leasehold Improvements at the Commencement Date, and must be performed in compliance with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulation now or hereafter in effect and in a manner such that they will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the other tenants in the Complex; and
(c) All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in altering, repairing or replacing any portion of the Premises, Building or Complex in connection with approving any Alterations shall be paid solely by Tenant to Landlord prior to commencing any Alterations.
17.3 Liens. Tenant will keep the Premises and the Complex free from any liens arising out of any Alterations done by Tenant. If a mechanic’s or other lien is filed against the Premises, Building or Complex through Tenant, Landlord may demand that Tenant furnish a satisfactory lien release bond in such form and
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
16 |
amount as necessary to accomplish the release of such contested lien claim under RCW 64.04.161. Such bond must be posted ten days after Notice from Landlord. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and costs in participating in any action contesting such lien or the foreclosure thereof, if Landlord elects to do so. Landlord may pay the claim prior to the enforcement thereof, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in full, including attorneys’ fees, for any such expense, as Additional Rent, with the next due Rent payment.
ARTICLE 18. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
18.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Subject to the other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations in this respect upon Tenant, Landlord shall repair, replace and maintain the external and structural parts of the Complex and are not leased to others, janitor and equipment closets and shafts within the Premises designated by Landlord for use by it in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Complex, and all Common Areas. Landlord shall perform such repairs, replacements and maintenance with reasonable dispatch, in a good and workmanlike manner; but Landlord shall not be liable for any damages, direct, indirect or consequential, or for damages for personal discomfort, illness or inconvenience of Tenant by reason of failure of equipment, Lines, facilities or systems or reasonable delays in the performance of such repairs, replacements and maintenance, unless caused by the gross negligence or deliberate act or omission of Landlord, its servants, agents, or employees or unless Landlord fails to use reasonable and diligent efforts to perform any necessary repairs, replacements and maintenance after receiving Notice of such necessary repairs, replacements and maintenance from Tenant. The cost for such repairs, maintenance and replacement shall be included in Operating Costs in accordance with Section 2.19 hereof.
18.2 Negligence of Tenant. If the Building, the elevators, boilers, engines, pipes or apparatus used for the purpose of climate control of the Building or operating the elevators, or if the water pipes, drainage pipes, electric lighting or other equipment, Lines, systems and/or facilities of the Building or the Complex, or the roof or the outside walls of the Building, fall into a state of disrepair or become damaged or destroyed through the negligence, carelessness or misuse of Tenant, its agents, employees or anyone permitted by it to be in the Complex, or through it in any way, the cost of the necessary repairs, replacements or alterations shall be borne by Tenant who shall pay the same to Landlord as Additional Rent.
18.3 Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall repair and maintain the Premises (excluding any structural elements thereof), but including all interior partitions and walls, fixtures, Leasehold Improvements and alterations in the Premises and all electrical and telephone outlets and conduits, fixtures and shelving, and special mechanical and electrical equipment which equipment is not a normal part of the Premises installed by or for Tenant, excepting only reasonable wear and tear and damage which Landlord has an obligation to repair as provided in Sections 13.2 and 18.1. Prior to commencement of any repairs, Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten days’ prior Notice so that Landlord may post notices of non-responsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law. Tenant must obtain the prior written approval from Landlord for Tenant’s contractor before the commencement of the repair. Landlord may require that Tenant use a specific contractor for repairs that affect the mechanical, heating, air conditioning, or electrical systems. Landlord may enter and view the state of repair and Tenant will repair in a good and workmanlike manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not make any repairs to the equipment, Lines, facilities or systems of the Building or Complex which are outside of the Premises or which do not exclusively serve the Premises.
18.4 Cleaning. At the end of each business day Tenant will leave the Premises in a reasonably clean condition for the purpose of the performance of Landlord’s cleaning services. Tenant shall maintain the appearance of the Premises consistent with the character, use and appearance of the Complex.

or of the public to the Common Areas, close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes, and make changes to the Common Areas including changes in the location of driveways, entrances, exits, vehicular parking spaces, parking area, the designation of areas for the exclusive use of others, the direction of the flow of traffic or construction of additional buildings thereupon, except that Landlord may not modify the Common Areas or any other area inside the Premises in any way that materially and adversely affects Tenant’s operation of its business upon the Premises for any extended period of time. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is under no obligation to provide security for the Common Areas.
18.6 Waiver. Tenant waives all rights it may have under law or at equity to make repairs or to perform any obligation of Landlord arising under this Lease at Landlord’s expense.
ARTICLE 19. CONDEMNATION
Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within 45 days after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective on the date the physical taking occurs. All compensation awarded for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, including any award for the leasehold value. Tenant may seek a separate award for Tenant’s trade fixtures, tangible personal property, tenant improvements and relocation expenses, if specified in the award by the condemning authority and so long as it does not reduce Landlord’s award.
ARTICLE 20. ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Tenant shall permit Landlord and any lender with a loan secured by the Building and their agents (each a “Lender”) to enter the Premises at all reasonable times following 24 hours’ notice by phone or in person to the onsite manager of Tenant (except in case of emergency, when no such notice shall be required) for the purpose of (a) inspecting them, (b) maintaining the Building, (c) making repairs, replacements, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, (d) posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs, (e) placing upon the Building any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs and showing the space to prospective purchasers, investors and lenders, or (f) placing on the Premises “to lease” signs or marketing and showing the Premises to prospective tenants at any time Tenant is in uncured default hereunder or otherwise within 180 days prior to the expiration of this Lease, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned. In the case of entering the Premises for the purposes identified in clauses (b) and (c) above, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize their effect on Tenant’s operation of its business in the Premises, which measures shall include, without limitation, scheduling any such work for weekends or nights, whenever reasonably possible, accelerating the work whenever reasonably possible, and daily clean up of the affected portions of the Premises.
ARTICLE 21. SIGNS
Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph D of Xxxxxxxx Xx. 0, Xxxxxx shall not place on the Premises or Complex any exterior signs or advertisements nor any interior signs or advertisements that are visible from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. The cost of installation and maintenance of any approved signs shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. At the end of the Term, Tenant shall remove all its signs and damage caused by the removal shall be repaired at Tenant’s expense.

ARTICLE 22. DEFAULT
22.1 Tenant Default. Without limiting or superseding any separate cure rights that Tenant may have under applicable law, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an immediate default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (except where cure periods are expressly provided):
(a) Any failure by Tenant to pay when due the Rent or make any other required payment;
(b) Tenant’s failure to observe or perform any Lease provision where such failure continues for ten days after Notice thereof to Tenant; provided, if the nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within the ten-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed in default if, in the ten-day period, Tenant commences to cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the cure to completion;
(c) If at any time during the Term there is a Bankruptcy Event involving Tenant;
(d) Any attempted Transfer in violation of Article 8; or
(e) Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date.
22.2 Landlord Default. Landlord shall be in default if it fails to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease for a period longer than 30 days after Notice from Tenant; provided, however, that if more than 30 days is required for performance, Landlord shall not be in default if it commences performance within 30 days of Tenant’s Notice and thereafter completes such performance diligently and within a reasonable time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be deemed to be in immediate default under this Lease without opportunity to cure if Tenant is physically removed or excluded from the Premises as a result of Landlord’s breach of its covenant of quiet enjoyment.
ARTICLE 23. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
23.1 Termination and Damages. In the event of any Tenant default, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord herein or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Notice of such intention to terminate. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(b) 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 Rent loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided. As used in subsections 23.1(a) and (b) the “worth at the time of award” is computed by including interest at ten percent per annum; plus
(c) 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 Rent loss (computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate at the time of award of the Federal Reserve Bank for the State plus one percent) that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.
23.2 Personal Property. In the event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Such property may be stored in a public warehouse at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
23.3 Recovery of Rent; Reletting.
(a) In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or if Landlord elects to either reenter as provided for in this Lease or take possession of the Premises either pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in subsection (c), below, this Lease shall continue in effect, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including Landlord’s right to recover all Rent as it becomes due and/or to relet all or part of the Premises for lease term(s), Rent on such terms as are commercially reasonable. Alterations, acts of maintenance or
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
19 |
preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, the appointment of a receiver upon initiation of Landlord or other legal proceeding granting Landlord or its agent possession to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
(b) If Landlord elects to relet, the Rent received by Landlord from reletting shall be applied in the following order: (1) to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant; (2) to the payment of any reasonable cost of reletting, including brokerage fees; (3) to the payment of the reasonable cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; (4) to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (5) any residue shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the portion of Rent received under clause (b) (4) is less than the Rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord when ascertained, any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the Rents received from such reletting.
(c) No reentry or taking possession of the Premises or any other action under this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a Notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.
23.4 No Waiver. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default in this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder.
23.5 Curing Defaults. If Tenant fails to repair, maintain, keep clean, or service any of the Premises or fails to perform any other Lease obligation, then after having given Tenant reasonable Notice of any failure and a reasonable opportunity to remedy the failure, which in no case shall exceed ten days, Landlord may enter upon the Premises and perform or contract for the performance of the repair, maintenance, or other Tenant obligation, and Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith.
23.6 Cumulative Remedies. The various rights, options, election powers, and remedies of Landlord contained in this Article and elsewhere in this Lease are cumulative. None of them is exclusive of any others or of any legal or equitable remedy that Landlord might otherwise have in the event of breach or default, and the exercise of one right or remedy by Landlord will not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy.
23.7 Duty to Mitigate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, each party shall have an affirmative obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, adverse impacts and costs (and in Landlord’s case, the costs of reletting) in the event of a default, error or delay by the other party; provided, however, in all cases Landlord shall be entitled to lease other vacant space first before reletting some or all of the Premises following a Tenant default.
ARTICLE 24. SURRENDER OF LEASE
At the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, free of rubble and debris, broom clean, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord at least 30 days prior to the termination of this Lease, which Alterations are to be removed in accordance with Article 17 and then Tenant shall forthwith remove the appropriate Alterations and restore the Premises to the condition required herein, entirely at its own expense. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by the removal of trade fixtures or personal property that Tenant is permitted or required to remove.
ARTICLE 25. NOTICES
All notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease (“Notice”), shall be in writing and shall be given or made to the respective party at the address or number set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of this Lease by (i) personal service; (ii) mailing by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (iii) reputable courier

which provides written evidence of delivery; or (iv) facsimile with the date and time imprinted during transmission. Either Party may change its address for Notice by a Notice sent to the other. Each Notice shall be deemed given or made upon receipt or refusal to receive except that facsimile notices sent on an non-business day or after 5:00 p.m. an a business day shall not be deemed delivered until the next business day.
ARTICLE 26. SUBORDINATION
26.1 Priority of Encumbrances. This Lease shall be subordinate to any ground lease, first mortgage, or first deed of trust now or hereinafter affecting the real property of which the Premises are a part (each a “Security Instrument”) and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, but subject to all of Landlord’s remedies for a default by Tenant and except as otherwise provided by any Lender Carve Outs (as defined in Section 26.3 below), Tenant’s rights under the Lease will be recognized. If a Lender or ground Landlord gives Tenant Notice of its election to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Security Instrument, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Security Instrument, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said Security Instrument or the date of recording thereof.
26.2 Execution of Documents. Tenant agrees that no documentation other than this Lease is required to evidence such subordination, however, within ten days after receipt of Notice by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination and any attornment or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any Security Instrument, as the case may be, so long as the same do not materially change the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, except insofar as any of the Lender Carve Outs apply. Failure to comply with this Article within the ten-day period set forth above shall be an immediate breach of this Lease by Tenant, without opportunity to cure, giving Landlord all rights and remedies under Article 23 hereof, as well as a right to damages caused by the loss of a loan, lease or sale which may result from such failure by Tenant.
26.3 Attornment. If a Lender or ground Landlord enforces its remedies provided by law or under the pertinent Security Instrument and succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises (a “Successor-in-Interest”), Tenant shall, upon request of any Successor-in-Interest, automatically become the tenant of said Successor-in-Interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease. The Successor-in-Interest shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than 30 days in advance; (ii) bound by any modification or amendment of this Lease to shorten the term or decrease the Base Rent without the consent of the Lender or ground Landlord; (iii) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any previous landlord, except to the extent the same constitutes a continuing event of default after such party succeeds to Landlord’s interest; (iv) bound by any obligation of Landlord under the Lease that is not reasonably susceptible to performance by the Successor-in-Interest; (v) subject to any offset, defense, recoupment or counterclaim that Tenant may have as against Landlord or any previous landlord; or (vi) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have made with respect to Landlord or previous landlord that has not been transferred to the Successor-in-Interest (collectively, the “Lender Carve Outs”). Within ten days after Notice of a request by Successor-in-Interest, Tenant shall deliver an executed attornment agreement in a form required by such Successor-in-Interest, so long as the same do not materially change the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, except insofar as any of the Lender Carve Outs apply.
ARTICLE 27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
27.1 Execution by Tenant. Within ten days after receipt of Notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate acknowledging that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and unmodified (or if modified, specifying the written modification
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
21 |
documents); (ii) no default exists on the part of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there are, then stating them); (iii) there are no events which with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would create a default under this Lease (or, if there are, then stating them); (iv) no Rent in excess of one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; (v) Tenant has not sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged or pledged this Lease or the Rent nor has it received notice of same (or, if it has, then so stating); (vi) Tenant has no defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Landlord (or, if it has, then so stating), and (vi) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request (so long as such other statements do not materially change the rights and/or duties of the parties). Landlord, any Lender, or any prospective purchaser of the Building or Complex may rely upon such estoppel certificate. Failure to comply with this Article within the ten-day period set forth above shall be an immediate breach of this Lease by Tenant, without opportunity to cure, giving Landlord all rights and remedies under Article 23 hereof, as well as a right to damages caused by the loss of a loan or sale which may result from such failure by Tenant.
27.2 Financing, Sale or Transfer. If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, sell, or otherwise transfer the Premises, Building or Complex, or any part thereof, Tenant agrees, within ten days of request therefor by Landlord, to deliver to Landlord and any lender, prospective buyer or transferee designated by Landlord financial statements of Tenant and any parent company as may be reasonably required by such party. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.
ARTICLE 28. LENDER PROTECTION
Tenant agrees to give any Lender, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been given Notice of the address of such Lender, either pursuant to an estoppel certificate, subordination agreement or otherwise. Tenant agrees that if Landlord fails to cure the default within the time provided for in this Lease, Lender shall have an additional 30 days within which to cure the default or, if the default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within the 30 days, Lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure the default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary). This Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being pursued.
ARTICLE 29. BANKRUPTCY
If at any time during the Term there is a Bankruptcy Event, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Any receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors (“assignee”), trustee of any kind, or Tenant as debtor-in-possession (“debtor”) shall either expressly assume or reject this Lease within sixty days following the assignment to the assignee or the filing of the pleading initiating the receivership or bankruptcy case. All such parties agree that they will not seek Court permission to extend such time for assumption or rejection. Failure to assume or reject in the time set forth herein shall mean that the Lease may be terminated at Landlord’s option. Rejection of the Lease shall be a default under the Lease.
(b) If the Lease is assumed by a debtor, receiver, assignee or trustee, such party shall immediately after such assumption (1) cure any default or provide adequate assurances that defaults will be promptly cured; (2) pay Landlord for actual pecuniary loss or provide adequate assurances that compensation will be made for such loss; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future performance.
(c) Where a default exists under the Lease, the party assuming the Lease may not require Landlord to provide services or supplies incidental to the Lease before its assumption by such trustee or debtor, unless Landlord is compensated under the terms of the Lease for such services and supplies provided before the assumption of such Lease.
(d) Landlord reserves all remedies available to Landlord in Article 23 or at law or in equity in respect of a Bankruptcy Event by Tenant, to the extent applicable law permits such remedies.
/s/ SS |

(e) Tenant agrees that all attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Landlord in dealing with a bankruptcy of Tenant are an actual pecuniary loss of Landlord and Tenant agrees that it shall pay all such costs and expenses in the event of any assumption or Transfer of the Lease.

Until such time as described in the previous sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations with no obligation to the other.
30.6 Limitation of Liability. In the event of default, breach, or violation by Landlord of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord’s liability to Tenant shall be limited to its ownership interest in the Building or the proceeds of a public sale of such interest pursuant to foreclosure of a judgment against Landlord.

Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Lease, the consent or approval, whether express or implied, or the act, failure to act or failure to object, by Landlord in connection with any plan, specification, drawing, proposal, request, act, omission, notice or communication by or for Tenant, shall not create any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord, and shall not constitute a representation by Landlord, with respect to the completeness, sufficiency, efficacy, propriety, quality or legality of such act.
30.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation or arbitration between the Parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including all reasonable fees of appraisers, accountants, experts, consultants and attorneys (collectively “Professional Fees”) incurred by the prevailing party shall be paid by the other party.
30.12 Effect of Waiver. Landlord’s waiver of any breach of a Lease provision is not a waiver of such Lease provision or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition of the Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of any Rent shall not be a waiver of any breach or rights, including the right to possession, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of any existing breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

30.13 Holding-Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, with Landlord’s written consent, then such holding over shall be construed as a month-to-month tenancy, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease (as applicable to a month-to-month tenancy) as existed during the last month of the Term, except the Base Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rent then payable.

5. Construction Plans for Tenant Improvements.
5.1 Preparation by Space Planner.

5.2 Tenant’s Review of Construction Plans for Tenant Improvements.

Failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord written notice of the changes within the five (5) business day
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||

period shall constitute approval by Tenant of the Construction Plans. If any changes requested by Tenant are reasonably necessary to bring the Construction Plans into substantial conformity with the Approved Preliminary Plans, Space Planner shall make such changes and resubmit the revised Construction Plans for approval by Tenant in accordance with this Section 5.2. It shall be the obligation of Space Planner to ensure that the Construction Plans comply with all applicable laws.
6. Construction Costs. Once the Construction Plans have been reviewed and approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall obtain from Xxxxxxx & Associates and Metropolitan Contracting Inc., bid price for constructing the Tenant Improvements (each, a “Bid”) in conformity with the Construction Plans. Within five (5) business days following delivery of the Bids, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, which Bid it wishes to select (“Approved Bid”) or whether Tenant disapproves both Bids. Upon Tenant’s notification of an Approved Bid, it shall be deemed that Tenant has agreed to pay all Tenant Improvement Costs up to the total amount of the Approved Bid, the Construction Plans, upon which the Approved Bid is based, shall constitute the “Approved Construction Plans”, and the contractor who made the Approved Bid shall be deemed the “Contractor”. In the event that Tenant disapproves the Bid, Tenant shall as soon as practicable thereafter, meet with Space Planner and revise the Construction Plans to reduce the cost of the work. Any changes to the Construction Plans proposed by Tenant in order to reduce the cost of the work shall require Landlord’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and delayed (and which shall be deemed given if Landlord fails to respond within seven (7) business days). Once Tenant has completed its revisions to the Construction Plans, Landlord shall solicit new Bids from the same contractors and the process shall continue until such time that Tenant approves one of the Bids. Any time in excess of 20 days total spent revising the Constructions Plans and rebidding the work until Tenant has selected an Approved Bid shall constitute Tenant Delay.
7. Building Permit. Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining a building permit (“Building Permit”) for the Tenant Improvements. To the extent reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant shall assist Landlord at no material cost to Tenant in obtaining the Building Permit. After approval by Landlord and Tenant of the Construction Plans as provided above, Landlord or its Contractor shall submit the Approved Construction Plans to the appropriate governmental body for plan checking and a Building Permit. Landlord shall cause to be made any change in the Approved Construction Plans necessary to obtain the Building Permit, provided that before making any required change that would materially (i) change the Construction Plans, (ii) increase the costs of the Tenant Improvements to Tenant, or (iii) delay completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such required change and await instructions from Tenant (“Material Required Change”). If Tenant does not provide any written instructions to Landlord within three (3) business days after receiving notice of the Material Required Change, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Material Required Change and Landlord shall be authorized to proceed with such Material Required Change. If, within such three (3) business day period, Tenant does provide instructions (other than instructions to adopt the Material Required Change) and such instructions are reasonable, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to implement Tenant’s instructions and any and all delays in completion of the Tenant Improvements attributable to pursuing and implementing such instructions in excess of 20 days of delay total shall constitute Tenant Delay.
8. Change Requests.
8.1 Approval. No changes to the Approved Construction Plans requested by Tenant (each, a “Change Request”) shall be made without (i) Landlord first providing notice to Tenant of the estimated delay and increased costs associated with such Change Request and Tenant reconfirming its request to make such Change Request, and (ii) Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, subject to the following:
(i) No Change Request shall affect the structure or operating systems of the Building;
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
C - 4 |
(ii) Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days of written notice from Landlord, the amount by which the Tenant Improvement Cost, after implementation of the Change Request, is reasonably estimated by Landlord to exceed the Base Tenant Improvement Allowance, including without limitation, increases in construction costs and other charges payable hereunder caused by any delay in construction of the Tenant Improvements as a result of a Change Request;
(iii) A Change Request shall constitute an agreement by Tenant to any delay in completion of the Tenant Improvements to the extent caused by Landlord’s reviewing, processing and implementing the Change Request, all of which delays shall be deemed a Tenant Delay;
(iv) Landlord shall accept only Change Requests signed by Tenant’s representative, Xxxx Xxxx. Tenant may from time to time designate a different representative to authorize Change Requests.
(v) Any net delay in completion of the Tenant Improvements to extent caused by a Change Request shall not delay the commencement of the term of the Lease from the date the term of the Lease would otherwise have commenced had it not been for the Change Request. Tenant agrees that the Lease and all obligations of Tenant thereunder (including without limitation the obligation to pay rent) shall commence on the date that the term of the Lease would otherwise have commenced had it not been for the delay, if any, resulting from the Change Request (provided that date is on or after the Estimated Commencement Date).
8.2 Procedure. Except with respect to the mechanical and electrical systems of the Building, within five (5) business days after receipt of a written Change Request from Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant verbally of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of the Change Request; Landlord shall confirm, in writing, Landlord’s approval or disapproval within five (5) business days after receipt of Tenant’s written Change Request. All costs paid by Landlord to unaffiliated parties in connection with review of proposed Change Requests shall be part of the Tenant Improvement Cost. With respect to Change Request related to the Building’s mechanical and electrical systems, Landlord shall have five (5) business days to respond orally and ten (10) business days to confirm its decision in writing. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval of the Change Request within the required period, the Change Request shall be deemed approved.
8.3 Period of Review. The period of Landlord’s review of a proposed Change Request, and the period during which Tenant has the right to revoke a Change Request, shall be deemed Tenant Delays.
8.4 Minor Changes in Work. Landlord shall have the authority, without the consent of Tenant, to order any immaterial changes to the Tenant Improvements not involving an increase in cost to Tenant or a delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements. Delays caused by Landlord’s compliance with supervening laws or regulations shall not be deemed delays within Landlord’s control, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to such delays.
9. Payment of Contractor. Once Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the Approved Bid, and a contract for the construction of the Tenant Improvements has been entered into with the Contractor, Landlord shall be responsible for making monthly progress payments to Contractor in accordance with the construction contract, subject to reimbursement by Tenant pursuant to the following procedure. Once the Approved Bid has been agreed upon, if the total Approved Bid is in excess of the Base Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord each month, within twenty (20) days of receipt of bills or invoices representing the current months’ payment obligation to the Contractor (the “Monthly Payment”), for that portion of the Monthly Payment determined by taking a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the Bid Price and the Base Tenant Improvement Allowance, and the denominator of which is the Approved Bid, and multiplying the Monthly Payment by such fraction. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay Contractor unless and until Landlord shall have received such sum from Tenant. Any delays in construction of the Tenant Improvements caused as a result of Tenant’s failure to timely Landlord as provided herein, shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay for which Tenant shall be solely responsible.

10. Commencement and Completion of Tenant Improvements. As soon as the Construction Plans have been prepared, reviewed and approved as specified herein, Landlord has obtained the Building Permit and other necessary authorizations for the construction of the Tenant Improvements from the City of Seattle and any other governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory agency, Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the Approved Bid and Landlord has entered into a contract with the Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall cause the construction of the Building Shell Work and Tenant Improvements to commence and shall diligently pursue same until completion. Landlord shall cause such construction to be performed in good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Laws and with the Approved Construction Plans, and shall deliver the Premises to Tenant with the completed Tenant Improvements on a “turnkey basis”. Landlord shall use all due diligence, and shall take all necessary measures in good faith, to perform its obligations under this Exhibit.
11. Payment of Additional Costs. Following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and determination of the total Tenant Improvement Cost, to the extent the Tenant Improvement Cost exceeds the Base Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Additional Costs”), Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of such Additional Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord (accompanied by invoices or other reasonable evidence substantiating such Additional Costs incurred), the amount of the Additional Costs. During construction and for a reasonable period following completion thereof, Landlord agrees to make available, for Tenant’s review during normal business hours, copies of paid invoices, receipts, statements or bills of sale to which the Base Tenant Improvement Allowance has been applied, lien waivers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen whose work or materials are represented by such items and such other certifications and warranties as Landlord shall receive in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
12. Importance of Time Periods. The time periods set forth in this Agreement are to be strictly adhered to and extensions of time shall be granted only when the circumstances are such that it is clear that the party requesting the additional time is without fault as to the delay. The parties acknowledge that it of critical importance to Tenant that the Premises are ready for occupancy on or before the Estimated Commencement Date, and accordingly, both parties shall use diligent, good faith and reasonable efforts to abide by the project schedule attached as Schedule B to this Agreement, which project schedule provides for a target substantial completion date for the Tenant Improvements by April 30, 2005.

EXPENSES, TAXES AND INSURANCE COSTS (FULL SERVICE)
1. Definitions.
1.1 “Base Operating Cost for the Complex” equals the amount of the actual Operating Costs for 2005.
1.2 “Excluded Costs” are all of the following: Capital Costs (except to the extent permitted in Section 2.5); depreciation; principal or interest payments of mortgage and other debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space or enforcing leases in the Building, including brokerage commissions, lease concessions, rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Complex; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes or Expenses; salaries of any Landlord employees; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Complex under their respective leases. The following additional items are also excluded from Operating Costs:
(a) Any liabilities, costs or expenses associated with or incurred in connection with the removal, enclosure, encapsulation or other handling of asbestos or other hazardous or toxic materials or substances;
(b) Costs due to Landlord’s violation of any governmental rule or authority;
(c) Costs related to governmental compliance in connection with those parts of the Building and Complex that Landlord is responsible for maintaining and repairing to the extent such governmental requirements were applicable to the Complex on or before the date of mutual execution of this Lease;
(d) Costs of any items for which Landlord is or is entitled to be paid or reimbursed by insurance; provided that Landlord may (i) pass through the cost of deductibles as an Operating Cost and/or (ii) elect to pay for losses or damages covered by insurance and pass through such costs to Tenant as an Operating Cost if Landlord reasonably determines that the election not to make an insurance claim should result in net savings on Operating Costs by keeping insurance premiums lower.
(e) Management or administration fees in excess of the Management Fee specified in Section 1.14 Fees
(f) Wages, bonuses and other compensation of employees above the grade of Building Manager, and fringe benefits other than insurance plans and tax-qualified benefit plans;
(g) Cost of any work or service performed on an extra cost basis for any tenant in the Building or Complex to a materially greater extent or in a materially more favorable manner than furnished generally to the tenants and other occupants;
(h) Any costs related to the formation or administration of any corporate entity constituting or related to the Landlord;
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
E - 1 |
(i) Late fees, fines, penalties or interest incurred by Landlord due to late payment of expenses;
(j) Except for the Management Fee, which is a fixed agreed upon amount not subject to recalculation, any cost representing an amount paid to a person, firm, corporation or other entity related to Landlord that is in excess of the amount which would have been paid in the absence of such relationship;
(k) Costs of any mitigation or impact fees or subsidies (however characterized), imposed or incurred in connection with initial development of the Building and Complex, which costs shall also be excluded from Taxes;
(l) Property insurance deductible payments in excess of $5,000 unless such payments are amortized in the same manner as Capital Costs; and
(m) Any charges for capital reserves.
1.3 “Pro Rata Percent” is a fraction the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Premises and the denominator of which is the Rentable Area of the Building. Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent as of the Commencement Date is specified in Section 1.11 of the Lease. Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent will be recalculated as required effective at the commencement of any period to which the calculation is applicable in this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent as to certain expenses may be calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Tenant as to certain expenses in the event Landlord permits other tenants in the Complex to directly incur such expenses rather than have Landlord incur the expense in common for the Complex (such as, by way of illustration, wherein a tenant performs its own janitorial services). In such case Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent of the applicable expense shall be calculated as having as its denominator the Rentable Area of the Building less the Rentable Area of tenants who have incurred such expense directly. Furthermore, in the event Tenant consumes extraordinary amounts of any provided utility or other service as determined in Landlord’s good faith judgment, Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent for such utility or service may, at Landlord’s election, be based on usage as opposed to Rentable Area of the Building, that is, Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent of such a utility or service would be calculated as having as its denominator the total usage of such utility or service in the Complex (or Building as the case may be), and having as its numerator Tenant’s usage of such utility or service, as determined by Landlord. If Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its arbitrary judgment, incurs such expenses directly, Tenant’s Pro Rata Percent will be calculated specially so that expenses of the same character which are incurred by Landlord for the benefit of other tenants in the Complex shall not be prorated to Tenant. If repairs are required for systems exclusively serving the Premises (whether within or outside of said Premises) and Landlord historically has not passed through such costs as Operating Cost borne by all tenants of the Building or Complex, then Tenant shall pay one hundred percent of such repair costs; provided however, if the costs are of a capital nature they shall be amortized and charged to Tenant in the same way that Capital Costs are amortized and charged under the Lease.
2. Additional Rent.
2.1 Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Costs for the Building or Complex, as the case may be, for any Lease Year, calculated by multiplying the Pro Rata Percent times (a) the greater of either (i) actual Operating Costs; or (ii) Operating Costs computed as if the Building or Complex were at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and operational for the whole Lease Year less (b) the Base Operating Cost for the Complex. If the foregoing yields a negative number, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for that Lease Year shall be zero. If any Lease Year of less than twelve months is included within the Term, the amount payable by Tenant for such period shall be prorated on a per diem basis (using a 360-day year).

2.2 Personal Property, Gross Receipts, Leasing Taxes. This Section is intended to deal with taxes directly attributed to Tenant or this transaction, as distinct from Taxes attributable to the Complex which are to be allocated among various tenants and others and which are included in Operating Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all taxes required to be paid by Landlord, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, which are: (a) upon, measured by, or reasonably attributable to (i) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or (ii) if separately assessed by the tax assessor, the cost or value of any Leasehold Improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Work, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be in Tenant or Landlord; (b) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof to the extent such taxes are not included as Taxes and are not a gross receipts tax or Business and Occupations tax, provided, however, if after the date of this Lease, any new taxes or assessments are imposed that are based upon rents received from Tenant and are not otherwise included in Taxes, Landlord shall be entitled to collect reimbursement for such taxes or assessments from Tenant; and (c) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
2.3 Refuse Disposal. Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten days of being billed therefor, for the removal from the Common Area, the Complex, or the Building of any amounts of refuse or rubbish that Tenant has generated in excess of amounts typically generated by other tenants of the Complex.
2.4 Method of Payment. Any Additional Rent payable by Tenant under Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 hereof shall be paid as follows, unless otherwise provided: (a) During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly in advance with its payment of Base Rent, one-twelfth of the amount of such Additional Rent as estimated by Landlord in advance, in good faith, to be due from Tenant during the Lease Year; and (b) annually, within ten business days after receipt of Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement. As soon as is reasonably possible after the expiration of each Lease Year, Landlord shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Tenant a comparative statement setting forth (1) the Operating Costs for such Lease Year, and (2) the amount of any other Additional Rent as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section (“Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement”). If the aggregate amount of estimated Additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year is less than the Additional Rent due for such year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the amount of such deficiency. Any delay in Landlord delivering the Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any Additional Rent. If the aggregate amount of such Additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year of the Term should be greater than the Additional Rent due for such year, Landlord will apply the amount of such excess to the next succeeding installments of such Additional Rent due hereunder; and if there is any such excess for the last year of the Term, the amount thereof will be refunded by Landlord to Tenant, within 45 days after the expiration of the Lease, to the extent Tenant is not otherwise in default under the terms of this Lease.
3. Audit Rights. Not later than 120 days of receiving Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement, Tenant may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Operating Costs for the Lease Year to which the statement applies. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the State. Tenant is solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within 90 days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement for that Lease Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 90-day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 120-day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s Operating Cost Statement and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that Lease Year. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any Operating Cost Statement unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

4. Disputed Sums. Under the terms of the Lease other charges may be due from Tenant including advances made by Landlord in respect of Tenant’s default. If Tenant has a bona fide dispute as to the amount Landlord claims is due for any charge, Tenant shall give Notice to Landlord of the amount in dispute setting forth the reasons for all sums Tenant claims are not owed to Landlord. Said Notice shall be given no later than ten Business days after receipt of Landlord’s demand for payment and Tenant shall pay all undisputed sums with said Notice or Tenant shall pay a late charge as set forth in Section 5.4 of the Lease on the amount demanded by Landlord. Failure by Tenant to pay the undisputed sums until resolution shall constitute a default under the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord interest at ten percent per annum from the date the aforesaid payment is due Landlord on all disputed sums ultimately shown to be owed to Landlord.

ADDENDUM NO. 1 TO LEASE
This Addendum No. 1 (this “Addendum”) is made in connection with and is a part of that certain Office Lease, dated as of November 17, 2004, by and between Bedford Property Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as Landlord, and Impinj, Inc., a Washington corporation, as Tenant, (the “Lease”).
A. | OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERMS — NEGOTIATED RENTAL. |
1. Notice of Exercise. Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease and has not assigned this Lease nor sublet more than 30% of the area of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to extend the initial term hereof for one additional period of either three (3) years or five (5) years, at Tenant’s election, upon the same terms and conditions as stated herein, except for Minimum Monthly Rent. Minimum Monthly Rent for the option period shall be at Fair Market Rental, as that term is defined in Article A below herein. The extension is herein referred to as “Extended Term.” Tenant must exercise its right, if at all, by written notification (the “Notice of Exercise”) to Landlord not less than ten (10) months prior to the expiration of the initial term hereof, provided that Tenant is not then in default of any of the provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. The Notice of Exercise must specify the Extended Term period elected by Tenant.
2. Options are Personal. The option to extend granted herein is personal to the original Tenant, or such Transferee where Landlord’s consent is not required, executing this Lease and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the rights contained in Paragraphs A and B of this Addendum are not assignable or transferable by such original Tenant except to such transferee when Landlord’s consent is not required. Landlord grants the rights contained herein to Tenant in consideration of Tenant’s strict compliance with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the manner of exercise of this option.
B. | FAIR MARKET RENTAL. |
1. If Tenant exercises the right to extend the term, then the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be adjusted to equal the Fair Market Rental for the premises as of the date of the commencement of such Extended Term, pursuant to the procedures hereinafter set forth. The term “Fair Market Rental” means the Minimum Monthly Rent chargeable for the Premises based upon the following factors applicable to the Premises or any comparable premises:
(a) | Rental rates being charged for comparable premises in the same geographical location; |
(b) | The relative locations of the comparable premises; |
(c) | Improvements, or allowances provided for improvements, or to be provided; |
(d) | Rental adjustments, if any, or rental concessions; |
(e) | Services and utilities provided or to be provided; |
(f) | Use limitations or restrictions; |
(g) | Any other relevant Lease terms or conditions. |
In no event, however, shall the Fair Market Rental be less than the Minimum Monthly Rent in effect immediately prior to the commencement date of the extended Term in question. The Fair Market Rental evaluation may include provision for further rent adjustments during the Extended Term if such adjustments are commonly required in the market place for similar types of leases.
2. Determination of Fair Market Rental. Upon exercise of the right to extend the term, and included within the Notice of Exercise, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its opinion of Fair Market Rental as above
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
Addendum No 1 - 1 |
defined for the Extended Term. If Landlord disagrees with Tenant’s opinion of the Fair Market Rental, it shall so notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Value Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice of Exercise. If the parties are unable to resolve their differences within twenty (20) business days thereafter, either party may apply for Arbitration as provided below. If neither party applies for Arbitration within twenty (20) business days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s Value Notice, Tenant shall be bound to the Fair Market Rental stated in Landlord’s Value Notice. Should either party elect to arbitrate, and if the arbitration is not concluded before the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall pay Minimum Monthly Rent to Landlord in an amount equal to the Fair Market Rental set forth in Landlord’s Value Notice, until the Fair Market Rental is determined in accordance with the arbitration provisions hereof (“Arbitration”). If the Fair Market Rental as determined by Arbitration differs from that stated in Landlord’s Value Notice, then any adjustment required to correct the amount previously paid by Tenant shall be made by payment by the appropriate party within thirty (30) days after the determination of Fair Market Rental by Arbitration has been concluded, as provided herein. Tenant shall be obligated to make payment during the entire Extended Term of the Minimum Monthly Rent determined in accordance with the Arbitration procedures hereunder.
3. Arbitration. In the event either party seeks Arbitration of Fair Market Rental under the provisions hereof for the Extended Term, the other party shall be bound to submit the matter for determination by Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the County where the Leased Premises are located.
4. Demand for Arbitration. A party demanding Arbitration hereunder shall make its demand in writing (“Demand Notice”) within ten (10) business days after service of Landlord’s Value Notice. The Arbitrator shall be selected by the parties within 5 business days of the Demand Notice. If the parties are unable to agree on an Arbitrator within such 5 business day period, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the Seattle office of JAMS, which is hereinafter referred to as the “Appointer”.
The Appointer, acting in his or her personal, private capacity, shall appoint within ten (10) days thereafter a disinterested, independent real estate appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with at least seven (7) years’ experience appraising properties in the same county for the general type of use to which the Premises are devoted under the terms of this Lease, i.e. Shopping Center, Office, Retail. The Arbitrator shall be a person who would be qualified to serve as an expert witness and to give opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Such a party is hereinafter referred to as the “Arbitrator”.
5. Decision of the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator so selected shall, within twenty (20) days after his appointment, state in writing his determination as to whether Landlord’s valuation, or Tenant’s valuation of Fair Market Rental, most closely approximates his own. The Arbitrator may not state his own opinion of Fair Market Rental, but is strictly limited to the selection of Landlord’s Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in Landlord’s Value Notice or Tenant’s Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in the Notice of Exercise. The Arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities with factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rental. The Arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the proposed valuations, and shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease. The valuation so chosen as most closely approximating that of the Arbitrator shall constitute the decision of the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall render a decision and award in writing, with counterpart copies to each party and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
6. Successor Arbitrator; Fees and Expenses. In the event of failure, refusal or inability of the Arbitrator to act in a timely manner, a successor shall be appointed in the same manner as such Arbitrator
/s/ SS |
/s/ EF | |||
Landlord’s Initials | Tenant’s Initials | |||
Addendum No 1 - 2 |
was first chosen hereunder, if such Arbitrator was chosen by an Appointer. If chosen by mutual agreement, the parties shall, in this succeeding instance, choose the Arbitrator through means of the procedure for the Appointer. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and the administrative hearing fee, if any, shall be divided equally between the parties. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fee and other expenses including fees for witnesses in presenting evidence to the Arbitrator.
C. | PARKING |
Forty-eight (48) marked and designated parking stalls shall be provided to Tenant for Tenant’ exclusive use. Tenant shall pay One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) per stall per month during the original Term. The monthly parking rate shall be adjusted to market rate if Tenant exercises its right to the Extension Term. In no event, however, shall the monthly rate per stall be lower than the rate per stall during the final month of the original Term.
D. | SIGNAGE |
Tenant shall be entitled to building standard suite entry signage on the interior main lobby building directory and at the entrance to the Premises, which shall be installed by Landlord at Landlord’s expense. Notwithstanding contrary provisions of the Lease, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive rights to install, at its sole cost, an exterior sign on the Building. Installation of any such exterior sign shall be subject to reasonable approval by Landlord, and approval of City of Seattle, the Quadrant Lake Union Center Owners’ Association and Adobe. Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant acknowledges that other tenants in the Building may also have rights to place exterior signs on the Building, and that Tenant’s sign may not exceed Tenant’s share of the available exterior signage permitted for the Building under the CC&Rs, the Adobe Lease and the applicable laws, regulations and codes as to size, design and location.
E. | LETTER OF CREDIT AS SECURITY DEPOSIT |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 6 of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within five business days following mutual execution of this Lease, in lieu of a cash security deposit, an irrevocable standby letter of credit naming Landlord as beneficiary, in the amount specified in Section 1.09 (“Letter of Credit”). A major national bank shall issue such Letter of Credit in substance identical to the form attached to the Lease as Exhibit G. Landlord hereby pre-approves Silicon Valley Bank and Comerica Bank as acceptable issuers of the initial Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall allow draws by Landlord upon sight draft submitted to the issuer at its offices either in Seattle, Washington or San Francisco, California accompanied by a statement by Landlord that it is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit and shall contain terms which allow Landlord to make partial and multiple draws up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant has not delivered to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the original Letter of Credit (or any renewal letter of credit) a renewal or extension thereof, then following Tenant’s failure to do so upon five (5) days notice, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the original Letter of Credit (or renewal thereof) and retain, in a separate, interest-bearing account with interest accruing for the benefit of Tenant, the proceeds thereof as the security pursuant to this Section.
The amount of the required Letter of Credit shall be reduced if and when the amount of the Security Deposit is reduced in accordance with Paragraph F below.
