June 15, 1976, (the "Original Lease") between L.C.F. Associates, a Washington
limited partnership ("Prime Landlord"), and Pay `N Save Corporation, a
Washington corporation ("Prime Tenant").
B. The Original Lease has been modified by the Lease Amendment and
Understanding dated April 20, 1981, the Lease Amendment dated January 29, 1982,
and the Lease Amendment (Number 3) dated May, 1982. (collectively, the "Lease
Amendments").
C. The Original Lease and the Lease Amendments are collectively referred
to herein as the "Prime Lease" and are attached hereto as Exhibit "A". The
premises leased thereunder are referred to herein as the "Master Premises".
Except as otherwise provided, defined terms shall have the same meaning as such
terms under the Prime Lease.
D. On or about October 27, 0000, Xxxxx Home Center, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Ernst"), succeeded to all of the right, title and interest of the
original Prime Tenant under the Prime Lease, pursuant to that certain Assignment
of Lease dated October 27, 1989. By the Assumption and Assignment of Lease
dated March 24, 1998 and recorded April 16, 1998 as document no. 9804160363 in

desires to sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant wishes to sublease from
Sublandlord approximately twenty thousand (20,000) square feet on the third
floor of that approximately one hundred thousand (100,000) square foot building
(the "Building") of which the Master Premises are a part (the "Demised

Premises excluding the Demised Premises. The Demised Premises and the Master
Premises are more particularly depicted on Exhibit B (the "Site Plan") attached
hereto.
F. This Sublease selectively incorporates provisions of the Prime Lease.
Where a particular provision of the Prime Lease is "incorporated and made a part
hereof", or words of similar import, that Prime Lease provision as amended by
any amendments thereto, becomes a part of this Sublease as though it were fully
set forth in the body of this Sublease, but with the references therein to
"Landlord" and "Tenant" referring instead to Sublandlord and Subtenant,
respectively (unless otherwise stated), the references to the "leased premises"
or "premises" referring to the Demised Premises and the references therein to
"Lease" referring instead to this Sublease. Any terms or words in Prime Lease
paragraphs which are incorporated into this Sublease shall have the same meaning
as those terms and words in the Prime Lease and an interpretation of the meaning
of such terms or words under the Prime Lease shall be binding upon Sublessor and
Sublessee under this Sublease.

2. SUBLEASE.
--------
2.1 Demise.
------
(a) In consideration of the rents to be paid and the covenants and
agreements to be performed and observed by Subtenant, Sublandlord hereby
subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases and hires from
Sublandlord, the Demised Premises.
3
(b) The exterior walls, demising walls, the space above and beneath
the Demised Premises and the roof are not demised under this Sublease, and,
except as otherwise specified in this Sublease, the use thereof, together with
the right to locate, both vertically and horizontally, install, maintain, use,
repair and replace, pipes, utility lines, ducts, conduits, flues, refrigerant
lines, drains, sprinkler mains and valves, access panels, cables, voice and data
communications lines, electrical transmission and distribution facilities, wires
and structural elements leading through the Demised Premises in locations which
will not materially interfere with Subtenant's use thereof and serving other
parts of the Building and other portions of the Master Premises, are hereby
reserved to Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall have, and hereby reserves the right,
to locate, both vertically and horizontally, install, maintain, use, repair and
replace, pipes, utility lines, ducts, conduits, flues, refrigerant lines,
drains, sprinkler mains and valves, access panels, wires and structural elements
leading through the Demised Premises to and from the remainder of the Master
Premises and/or the Common Areas in locations which will not materially
interfere with Subtenant's use of the Demised Premises.
Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that Subtenant's equipment to operate its
business, including Subtenant's required communications, HVAC and electrical
equipment, will necessitate the utilization of portions of the Building which
may be exterior to the Demised Premises, including risers, shafts, chases,
utility entrances, equipment rooms and distribution areas or conduits between
the Demised Premises and other areas of the Building. Subtenant shall be
permitted to utilize those areas available, and to construct necessary conduits
following prior written approval of both Sublandlord and Prime Landlord as to
the location of such equipment, the method of installation and the type of
equipment to be utilized in connection with such additional spaces required for
Subtenant's operation of its business in the Demised Premises.
(c) Prior to the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall cause its
architect to measure the Floor Area of the Demised Premises and certify to
Sublandlord the correct dimensions. If Subtenant's measurements reveal a Floor
Area which is different from twenty thousand (20,000) square feet, Sublandlord
shall have the right to dispute Subtenant's measurement, in which event either
(a) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall mutually agree on the Floor Area of the
Demised Premises, or (b) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall agree to have such
spaces measured by an independent architect mutually acceptable to Sublandlord
and Subtenant, at Sublandlord's expense, in which event Sublandlord and
Subtenant agree to abide by such measurement. Upon the determination of the
actual Floor Area of the Demised Premises the Minimum Monthly Rent, Subtenant's
Percentage Share, and all charges payable by Subtenant hereunder which are based
on the Floor Area of the Demised Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the
actual Floor Area of the Demised Premises. If Subtenant does not cause its
architect to measure the Demised Premises in accordance with this Paragraph
2.1(c), the parties shall be deemed to have accepted the size of the Demised
Premises as twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of Floor Area. And Subtenant's
Percentage Share as 16.425%.
2.2 Prime Lease.
-----------
(a) Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant's rights to the Demised
Premises are subject to and subordinate to the Prime Lease and those various
covenants, conditions and restrictions, easements and other matters of record
affecting the Prime Lease, the Demised Premises and other parts of the Building
(the "Permitted Exceptions"). Accordingly, if the Prime Lease terminates then
this Sublease shall terminate (except as otherwise provided in any agreement
4
between Prime Landlord and Subtenant) and Sublandlord shall have no liability
therefor, unless such termination occurs because of a breach of Sublandlord's
obligations under this Sublease. If the Prime Lease terminates because of any
default by Sublandlord thereunder, Subtenant shall attorn to and recognize Prime
Landlord as Sublandlord under this Sublease; provided that Prime Landlord has
executed, no later than one (1) month after the Execution Date, a nondisturbance
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Subtenant.
(b) Except as expressly provided herein, if Subtenant desires to
take any action, and the Prime Lease would require that Sublandlord obtain Prime
Landlord's consent before undertaking any such action, Subtenant shall not
undertake the same without Prime Landlord's prior written consent, provided that
upon Subtenant's request, Sublandlord shall diligently and promptly use its
reasonable efforts to obtain Prime Landlord's consent to any such action.
(c) Sublandlord shall pay each installment of minimum rental, and
any other sum when the same is due and payable under the terms of the Prime
Lease and will duly observe and perform every term and condition of the Prime
Lease to the extent that such term and condition is not provided in this
Sublease to be observed or performed by Subtenant, except to the extent that any
failure to so pay or to observe or perform shall have resulted, directly or
indirectly, from any default by Subtenant hereunder (including, without
limitation, the failure of Subtenant to pay any amount of the Minimum Monthly
Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder). Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with
a copy of any notice given to Sublandlord by Prime Landlord under the Prime
Lease, such notice to be delivered within two (2) business days after
Sublandlord's receipt of such notice. Sublandlord will also give Subtenant a
copy of any notice given by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease
concurrently with the delivery of such notice to Prime Landlord.
(d) At any time and from time to time, Subtenant may, but shall not
be obligated to, make any payment or take any action necessary to cure a default
by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease provided Subtenant has notified Sublandlord
in writing that Subtenant elects to cure such default and within two (2) days
after Sublandlord's receipt of such notice, with respect to a monetary default,
and ten (10) days after Sublandlord's receipt of such notice, with respect to
all other defaults, and Sublandlord has failed to cure such default nor provided
evidence reasonably acceptable to Subtenant that such default will be cured
before the expiration of the applicable cure period. In the event Subtenant
elects to cure such default as permitted herein, the amount of any such payment
or the cost of any such action which is paid or incurred by Subtenant in good
faith, including reasonable attorney's fees, shall be treated as a sum of money
advanced by Subtenant to Sublandlord and shall be repayable by Sublandlord to
Subtenant on demand provided Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord with such
demand a written accounting setting forth the itemized amounts expended by
Subtenant accompanied by copies of actual supporting invoices documenting the
cost, fees and expenses incurred.
(e) Subtenant acknowledges that (i) except as expressly provided in
this Sublease, Sublandlord (x) does not assume and shall not have any of the
obligations or liabilities of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease and (y) is
not making the representations or warranties, if any, made by Prime Landlord in
the Prime Lease and (ii) Sublandlord's ability to satisfy certain of its duties
and obligations under this Sublease are conditioned upon the full and timely
performance of Prime Landlord's obligations under the Prime Lease and
Sublandlord is unwilling to accept any liability whatsoever to Subtenant or any
diminution in its rights under this Sublease as a consequence of Prime
Landlord's failure to perform under the Prime Lease except to the extent
Sublandlord's
5
failure inhibits or prohibits the performance of Subtenant's obligations or
rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Prime Landlord defaults in
the performance or observance of any of Prime Landlord's obligations under the
Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord's election, (1) make demand of
Prime Landlord to obtain performance of Prime Landlord's obligations (which
performance shall be at Sublandlord's reasonable cost and expense), and if
requested in writing by Subtenant, commence and prosecute legal proceedings
(also at Sublandlord's cost and expense) in the name of Sublandlord or otherwise
against Prime Landlord with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant and/or
(2) assign to Subtenant all of Sublandlord's rights and benefits under the Prime
Lease which are assignable under the Prime Lease or otherwise to enforce, at
Subtenant's reasonable cost and expense (subject however to reimbursement if
Sublandlord is entitled to and obtains reimbursement therefor from Prime
Landlord under the terms of the Prime Lease), the obligations of Prime Landlord
under the Prime Lease to the extent necessary to cause Prime Landlord to cure
such default. Notwithstanding clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence,
Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate the Prime Lease, unless
Sublandlord first consents to such termination in writing. Sublandlord and
Subtenant agree to discuss such enforcement proceedings with one another, in
good faith, but such proceeding shall be approved by Sublandlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any amount of
recovery obtained by Subtenant, if Subtenant enforces Sublandlord's rights under
clause (2) of the first sentence of this subparagraph (e), shall be the property
of Subtenant to the extent that such recovery pertains to the Demised Premises.
(f) Sublandlord shall not modify the Prime Lease or consent to the
modification or creation of any Permitted Exception in any respect which
adversely affects Subtenant, this Sublease or the Demised Premises, or surrender
the Prime Lease, without the prior written consent of Subtenant, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Subtenant's reasonable discretion, and any such
modification or surrender made without such consent shall be null and void and
shall have no effect on the rights of Subtenant under this Sublease. Sublandlord
agrees that if pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease or otherwise,
Sublandlord shall have the right to cancel or terminate the Prime Lease, then
Sublandlord shall only exercise such rights in accordance with, and only in
accordance with, the written direction of Subtenant. Further, upon receipt of
written request from Subtenant, upon a default by Prime Landlord under the Prime
Lease, Sublandlord shall terminate the Prime Lease to the extent Sublandlord has
the right to do so thereunder.
(g) Subtenant hereby assumes and agrees to perform for the benefit
of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, each and every present and future obligation
and duty of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease as and to the extent set forth
under this Sublease, and the Permitted Exceptions, as amended with respect to
the Demised Premises, except as follows: (a) Sublandlord, not Subtenant, shall
be responsible for paying minimum rental due under the Prime Lease to Prime
Landlord; and (b) to the extent said obligations or duties arise or relate to a
period (i) after the Term and not in connection with acts or omissions during
the Term; or (ii) before the Execution Date. Subtenant shall not do, suffer or
permit anything to be done which could result in a default under the Prime Lease
or permit the Prime Lease to be canceled or terminated. Subtenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all Claims
imposed upon or incurred by or assessed against Sublandlord by reason of any
violation or breach of this Sublease by Subtenant or any of its Authorized
Representatives which has resulted, directly or indirectly, in a breach of the
Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subtenant
from and against all Claims imposed upon or incurred by or assessed against
Subtenant by reason of any violation or breach of
6
this Sublease by Sublandlord or any of its Authorized Representatives which has
resulted, directly or indirectly, in a breach of the Prime Lease.
2.3 Sublandlord's Representations and Warranties. As of the Execution

Sublease and to grant the estate demised herein.
(e) To Sublandlord's actual knowledge, attached hereto as

3. TERM; CONDITIONS.
----------------
3.1 Period. The primary term of this Sublease (the "Primary Term") shall
------
be for the period specified in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, unless sooner
terminated pursuant to other provisions as set forth hereinafter.
3.2 Extension Options. Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant one (1)
-----------------
option to extend the Primary Term for a period of five (5) years, commencing on
the expiration of the Primary Term subject to all of the provisions of this
Sublease except as to Minimum Rent, which shall be as set forth hereinafter.
Subtenant may exercise its option to so extend the Term only by delivering
written notice to Sublandlord of Subtenant's election to so extend the Term, no
later than twelve (12) months nor earlier than fifteen (15) months prior to the
expiration of the Primary Term. Sublandlord is, as of the date of this
Sublease, negotiating with Prime Landlord for one (1) additional five-year
extension of the Term and Sublandlord shall diligently use its good faith
efforts to secure such additional extension from Prime Landlord. In the event
Prime Landlord agrees to grant Sublandlord such additional option period,
Sublandlord will so notify Subtenant promptly and Subtenant may further extend
the Term for one (1) additional five (5)-year period by giving written notice of
its election to Sublandlord no less than twelve (12) months nor more than
fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the first option period described
above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
7
herein, Subtenant's exercise of an option shall be null and void if, at the time
of the exercise of such option or the commencement of such option term,
Subtenant is in default under this Sublease after notice and the lapse of any
cure period. Further, Subtenant's right to exercise the second option shall be
conditioned upon Subtenant's exercise of the first option referenced
hereinabove. All references in this Sublease to "Term" shall mean the Primary
Term and, upon the exercise of any option pursuant to this Paragraph 3.2, the
Primary Term as extended by any such option.
The Minimum Monthly Rent for the option periods shall be the "fair market
rental rate" of the Demised Premises as of the commencement date of the option
periods, respectively. "Fair Market Rental Rate" shall mean the annual minimum
rental rate that Sublandlord should reasonably be able to obtain for the Demised
Premises effective on the commencement date of the respective option periods.
Fair market rental rate shall be based upon the prevailing rental rate for
office space comparable to the Demised Premises in the downtown Seattle,
Washington area in terms of size, location, condition and other relevant
factors, and taking into account the term of the option period, the Permitted
Use and the other provisions of the Prime Lease and the Sublease.
Sublandlord shall provide notice to Subtenant of its determination of the
fair market rental rate within thirty (30) days after Subtenant exercises its
right to extend the Term. Within ten (10) days after receiving such
determination ("Subtenant's Review Period"), Subtenant shall irrevocably elect,
in writing, to do one of the following: (i) accept Sublandlord's determination,
or (ii) object to Sublandlord's determination and with such objection set forth
Subtenant's determination of the fair market rental rate. If Subtenant so
objects, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall use good faith to agree upon such fair
market rental rate. If Sublandlord and Subtenant fail to reach agreement within
fifteen (15) days following Subtenant's Review Period, then the matter shall be
submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association (or its successor or, if none, a like
organization) then in effect. Such determination shall be final and binding upon
the parties. If Subtenant fails to so accept or object in writing within
Subtenant's Review Period, Subtenant shall conclusively be deemed to have
approved of the Fair market rental rate determined by Sublandlord.
If Subtenant objects to Sublandlord's determination of the fair market
rental rate in accordance with the above, during any period of the Extension
Period that the fair market rental rate is being determined as per the above,
Subtenant shall pay Minimum Monthly Rent equal to 125% of the Minimum Monthly
Rent at the highest rate during the immediately preceding Term and, after the
fair market rental rate is determined, if Subtenant has underpaid Minimum
Monthly Rent for said period, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord the amount due
within thirty (30) days after demand, and if Subtenant has overpaid Minimum
Monthly Rent, a credit shall be given Subtenant against the rent next coming due
under this Sublease.
3.3 Conditions Precedent to Obligations. The obligations of the parties
-----------------------------------
under this Sublease are expressly conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and
all of the conditions precedent set forth in this Paragraph 3.3 within the
periods expressly provided herein. If any condition remains unsatisfied
following the expiration of the applicable period, then the party for whose
benefit such condition is imposed shall have the right to terminate this
Sublease by written notice to the other party, delivered to such other party
within five (5) days after the expiration of the applicable period, provided the
condition giving rise to such termination has not failed to occur because of a
breach of this Sublease by the terminating party:
8
(a) For Subtenant's benefit, Subtenant's receipt from First
American Title Insurance Company of a commitment to issue a Leasehold Owner's
Policy of Title Insurance (which policy shall be paid for by Sublandlord)
insuring Subtenant's interest in the Demised Premises, subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions listed on Exhibit C, of which Subtenant acknowledges
receipt as of the date of this Sublease; and
(b) For the benefit of both Sublandlord and Subtenant:
(1) Prime Landlord consents to this Sublease by way of a Non-Disturbance,
Estoppel and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D
within thirty (30) days following full execution of this Sublease;
(2) Sublandlord's and Prime Landlord's approval of all of Subtenant's
plans and specifications for all of Subtenant's Work in the Demised Premises and
in the Building, within ten (10) business days following submission of same to
Sublandlord, but in no event shall such plans be submitted to Sublandlord any
later than forty-five (45) days following full execution of this Sublease. Such
approval(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and
(3) Approval of Subtenant's use of the Demised Premises, if required by
applicable municipal code, and of all Subtenant's Work in the Demised Premises
and in the Building by all applicable municipal authorities.
3.4 Commencement of Term. In the event that Sublandlord has not delivered
--------------------
the Demised Premises to Subtenant on or prior to November 1, 1998, either
Sublandlord or Subtenant may terminate this Sublease upon fifteen (15) days'
prior written notice to the other, in which event this Sublease shall be null
and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Sublandlord thereafter delivers the Demised Premises during the aforesaid
fifteen-day period, Subtenant's notice of its election to terminate this
Sublease shall be null and void, and this Sublease shall remain in effect.
Postponement of Subtenant's rental obligation before delivery of possession of
the Demised Premises shall be Subtenant's exclusive remedy and in sole
satisfaction of all claims Subtenant might otherwise have by reason of
Sublandlord's failure to deliver the Demised Premises by the Scheduled
Commencement Date. Once the Commencement Date is determined, Sublandlord shall
confirm such Commencement Date by written notice to Subtenant, and Sublandlord
is hereby authorized by Subtenant to insert in the Fundamental Lease Provision
the Actual Commencement Date.
3.5 Early Access. Subtenant shall have the right to enter the Demised
------------
Premises prior to the Commencement Date following full execution of this
Sublease, for the purpose of (i) testing the equipment in the Building;
(ii) commencing Subtenant's Work in the Demised Premises and in other areas of
the Building and (iii) to test Subtenant's equipment and systems installed in
the Building and the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant
shall not commence any of Subtenant's Work in the Demised Premises until after
obtaining the consent of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord of plans and
specifications for same. Subtenant shall abide by all terms of this Sublease
during its early entry, other than those terms relating to the payment of any
rental amounts. Subtenant shall indemnify and save Sublandlord harmless from and
against all loss and damage, including damage to person, persons or property, to
the extent same arises from any act or negligence of Subtenant's employees,
contractor or any of its subcontractors, or the agents or employees of any of
same while they are engaged in the performance of any work within the
9
Demised Premises, or while in or about the Building, arising from any liens or
claims for services rendered or labor or materials furnished in or for the
performance of Subtenant's Work or arising from any accident or injury. Prior to
the initial entry into the Building or the Demised Premises by Subtenant and the
performance of any work therein, Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord, at
Subtenant's sole cost, a certificate of insurance from Subtenant and Subtenant's
contractors and subcontractors, naming Sublandlord as an additional insured, in
the coverage and amounts reasonably required by Sublandlord. Subtenant
acknowledges and agrees that none of the above-described work or early entry
shall interfere with or delay in any manner any work to be performed by
Sublandlord under this Sublease. Further, Subtenant shall not be charged by
Sublandlord for the use of any freight elevators, access to the Building's
loading docks, utility usage or the use of any other Building facilities or
services during the initial planning and subsequent construction of Subtenant's
Work, nor its move-in process to the Demised Premises.
4. RENT.
----
4.1 Minimum Monthly Rent. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as minimum
--------------------
monthly rent during the Term, without deduction, setoff, prior notice or demand,
except and to the extent set forth otherwise herein, the sum specified in the
Fundamental Lease Provisions, in advance, on the first day of each month
commencing on the Commencement Date ("Minimum Monthly Rent"). Minimum Monthly
Rent for the first month shall be paid on the Commencement Date even if such
date is not the first day of a month. Minimum Monthly Rent for any partial month
shall be prorated at the rate of 1/30th of the Minimum Monthly Rent per day. All
rent shall be paid to Sublandlord at the address to which notices to Sublandlord
are given.
4.2 Triple Net. Except as otherwise provided, Subtenant acknowledges
----------
that the Minimum Monthly Rent payable to Sublandlord shall be absolutely net of
any and all expenses of the Demised Premises (as modified by the provisions of
Articles 7.3 and 8.2) and that Subtenant shall be obligated, at all times from
and after the Execution Date, to pay Subtenant's Percentage Share of any and all
expenses of the Demised Premises required to be paid by Sublandlord under the
Prime Lease (including, without limitation, all taxes, utilities, insurance, and
operating expenses [as such items are described in the Prime Lease and to the
extent described in this Sublease, including, but not limited to, Paragraphs 7
and 8]), and that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform or pay any
obligation of Prime Landlord or any third party under the Prime Lease or
otherwise with respect to the Demised Premises, except and to the extent set
forth otherwise in this Sublease; provided, however, Sublandlord shall perform
and pay all of the obligations under the Prime Lease as they relate to the
Adjacent Master Premises.
5. CONDITION OF PREMISES; CONSTRUCTION; OPENING.
--------------------------------------------
5.1 Acceptance By Subtenant. Except for Sublandlord's Work and
-----------------------
Sublandlord's breach of any representations or covenants herein (including, but
not limited to, those set forth in Paragraph 2.3), Subtenant shall accept
possession of the Demised Premises in an "as is" condition with "all faults" as
to all matters, including the following: title; physical condition; size or
dimensions of the Demised Premises; feasibility, desirability or convertibility
of the Demised Premises into any particular use; floor load capacity of the
Demised Premises for Subtenant's intended use of the Demised Premises and
installation of its fixtures and equipment; and the zoning, building and land

but shall be subject to obtaining the prior consent from Prime Landlord. In
connection with such use, Subtenant shall have the right to enter into contracts
with other occupants of the Building to provide telecommunications services
("Colocation(s)"). Such right shall in no way be deemed an exclusive right to
provide such services. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with all information
about Colocations as Sublandlord, in its sole discretion,
12
shall request. As set forth in more detail in Paragraph 13 of this Sublease, no
Colocation shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease, or a sublease of the

------------------
purpose permitted by Paragraph 6.1 strictly in accordance with the following:
(a) Cancellation of Insurance; Increase in Insurance Rates.

--------------------
concerning the Demised Premises or Subtenant's use of the Demised Premises,
including, without limitation, the obligation, at Subtenant's cost, to alter,

6.3 Hazardous Substances.
--------------------
(a) Reportable Uses Require Consent. Subtenant shall not engage in
-------------------------------
any activity in, on or about the Demised Premises which constitutes a Reportable
Use of Hazardous Substance without the express prior written consent of
Sublandlord and compliance in a timely manner (at Subtenant's sole cost and
expense) with all applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant may,
without Sublandlord's prior consent, but in compliance with all applicable Laws,
use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used by
Subtenant in the normal course of Subtenant's business permitted in the
Building, including gel cell batteries and diesel fuel necessary for the
operation of Subtenant's generator to be installed by Subtenant in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Sublease, so long as such use is not a
Reportable Use and does not expose the Demised Premises, the Building or the
neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or
expose Sublandlord to any liability therefor. In addition, Sublandlord may (but
without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to the use or presence of
any Hazardous Substance, activity or storage tank by Subtenant upon Subtenant's
giving Sublandlord such additional assurances as Sublandlord, in its reasonable
discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Demised Premises,
the Building and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or
liability therefrom or therefor.
(b) Duty to Inform Landlord. If Subtenant knows, or has reasonable
-----------------------
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or
resulting from same, has come to be located in, on, under or about the Demised
Premises, other than as previously consented to by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall
immediately give written notice of such fact to Sublandlord, Subtenant shall
also immediately give Sublandlord a copy of any statement, report, notice,
registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action or
proceeding given to, or received from,
13
any governmental authority or private party, or persons entering or occupying
the Demised Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or

any and all loss of rents, Claims and penalties arising out of or involving any
Hazardous Substance or storage tank brought onto the Demised Premises, or the
Building by or for Subtenant or under Subtenant's control. Subtenant's
obligations under this Paragraph 6.3 shall include, but not be limited to, the
effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the environment
created or suffered by Subtenant, and the reasonable cost of investigation
(including reasonable fees and costs of consultants, attorneys and reasonable
costs incurred for testing), removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement
thereof, or of any contamination therein involved, and shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. No termination, cancellation
or release agreement entered into by Sublandlord and Subtenant shall release
Subtenant from its obligations under this Sublease with respect to Hazardous
Substances or storage tanks brought onto the Demised Premises by Subtenant,
unless specifically so agreed by Sublandlord in writing at the time of such
agreement.
(d) Sublessor warrants and represents, to the best of its

7. COMMON AREAS.
------------
7.1 Description of Common Areas. The term "Common Areas" means all areas
---------------------------
and facilities that are provided and designated under the Prime Lease for the
general use and convenience of Sublandlord, as the Prime Tenant, and other
tenants of the Building.
7.2 Subtenant's Right to Use. Subject to Paragraph 7.3 below, and the
------------------------
terms of the Prime Lease, Sublandlord grants to Subtenant and its Authorized
Representatives those nonexclusive rights which are granted to Sublandlord under
the Prime Lease to use the Common Areas during the Term. In connection
therewith, Article 1 of the Prime Lease is incorporated herein and made a part
hereof. Sublandlord reserves to itself the right to use the Common Areas,
together with others who are entitled to use the Common Areas, subject to the
provisions of this Sublease. Subtenant shall keep the Common Areas free and
clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Subtenant or resulting from
Subtenant's operations.
14
7.3 Maintenance and Management of Common Areas. Subtenant acknowledges
------------------------------------------
that pursuant to Article 22 and other articles of the Prime Lease and this
Sublease, Prime Landlord and Sublandlord have various duties and obligations to
operate, maintain, repair, insure and replace the Common Areas. Subtenant shall
pay to Sublandlord Subtenant's Percentage Share of all costs and expenses
incurred by or payable to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease to operate,
maintain, repair, insure and replace the Common Areas which exceed Subtenant's
Percentage Share of such expenses for the calendar year 1998 (the "Base Year"),
to the extent that such costs are required to be paid by Sublandlord as Prime
Tenant under the Prime Lease, as well as Subtenant's prorata share of all costs
and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in fulfilling its maintenance obligations
in connection with the Common Areas. In no event shall the provisions of this
Paragraph 7.3 result in a reduction of Minimum Monthly Rent. Such costs shall
be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord as and when such costs are required to be
paid by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease but in no event any
earlier than thirty (30) days following Subtenant's receipt of Sublandlord's
invoice therefor.
7.4 Audit Rights. To the extent that Sublandlord has such rights under
------------
the Prime Lease, on reasonable advance notice and provided Subtenant is not in
then in default beyond any applicable cure period, Sublandlord shall make
available for a reasonable period of time to Subtenant, during the ninety (90)
days following Subtenant's receipt from Sublandlord of the final statement of
the Building operating expenses for a calendar year, Sublandlord's books and
records maintained with respect to the operating expenses for the applicable
calendar year. Such audit shall be conducted only during regular business hours
at the office where Sublandlord maintains expense records, and shall be
conducted by an independent accounting firm. Subtenant shall use the
information contained in Sublandlord's books and records solely for the purpose
of determining the accuracy of the final statement of the operating expenses in
question and shall keep such information and the fact that Subtenant is
examining Sublandlord's books and records confidential and shall not disclose
any of such information in any manner whatsoever. If Subtenant wishes to
contest any item within any such final operating expense statement, Subtenant
shall do so in a written notice received by Sublandlord within sixty (60) days
following the commencement of Subtenant's actual access to Sublandlord's books
and records as aforesaid, which notice shall specify in detail the item or items
being contested and specific grounds therefor. However, the giving of notice
shall not relieve Subtenant from the obligation to pay any deficiency in such
statement in accordance with this Sublease, provided, however, that the payment
of such amount itself shall not constitute an acceptance by Subtenant of the
accuracy of such statement until a final determination as herein provided, or
until Subtenant fails to timely give any notice to Sublandlord of the contest
of any item of the operating expenses as herein provided. If Subtenant timely
gives such a notice to contest to Sublandlord, any dispute with respect to any
item or items in such statement, including any calculations therein, shall be
submitted to binding arbitration, in accordance with the standards and rules
established by the American Arbitration Association, whose decision shall be
binding on the parties. Only in the event that Subtenant retains a non-
contingent fee based auditor and such review by an arbitration panel discloses
an error on the part of Sublandlord of five percent (5%) or more of total
operating expenses shall Sublandlord pay the fees of the arbitrators with
respect to any such dispute, otherwise, the fees shall be paid by Subtenant.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, if Subtenant fails to timely pay
any deficiency in such statement in accordance with the Sublease, whether or not
contested, or if Subtenant fails to timely give notice to audit or contest as
herein provided, Subtenant shall have no further right to contest any item or
items in such statement and Subtenant shall be deemed to have accepted such
statement.

8. TAXES.
-----
8.1 "Real Property Taxes" Defined. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall

9. UTILITIES.
---------
Subtenant shall make all arrangements for and pay for all utilities and
services furnished to or used by it, including, without limitation, gas,
electricity, water, telephone service, and trash collection, and for all
connection charges. The Demised Premises will be separately metered by
Sublandlord on or prior to the Commencement Date. If any such charges are not
paid when due, Sublandlord may, after notice to Subtenant, pay the same, and any
amount so paid by Sublandlord shall thereupon become due to Sublandlord from
Subtenant as additional rent together with interest thereon. Sublandlord shall
not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any
utility service being furnished to the Demised Premises and no such failure or
interruption shall entitle Subtenant to an abatement of rent or to terminate
this Sublease.
Subtenant shall also have access to four (4) 4" conduits in the riser space
of the Building from the point of entry to the Building for telephone lines to
the Demised Premises. Subtenant shall obtain Sublandlord's prior approval,

such connections in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. Sublandlord
shall use reasonable efforts, so long as same is at no expense to Sublandlord,
to cooperate with Subtenant in locating points of entry to the Building so as to
provide redundancy of access for telecommunication services and providers to the
Building.

(other than any alterations necessary to fortify the floor of the Demised
Premises and except as may be expressly set forth otherwise in this Sublease, or
in the Prime Lease) without Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed whenever
Sublandlord's consent is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant
shall have the right (a) to place or install in the Demised Premises such
fixtures and equipment as Subtenant shall deem desirable for the conduct of
business therein and to select the paint color it desires for the interior of
the Demised Premises; (b) if Prime Landlord so consents (Prime Landlord's
consent to be obtained through Sublandlord, if Prime Landlord's consent is
required as set forth hereinabove), to make such further Alterations as
Subtenant reasonably deems necessary to operate the Demised Premises and (c) to
utilize Subtenant's contractors, so long as same have been approved by
Sublandlord in writing prior to the commencement of such alterations. Any such
Alterations shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Construction Provisions attached hereto as Exhibit G. Any Alterations made
shall remain on and be surrendered with the Demised Premises on expiration or
termination of the Term, unless stated otherwise herein. Sublandlord may elect,
by delivery of written notice, to require Subtenant to remove any Alterations
that Subtenant has made to the Demised Premises. If Sublandlord so elects,
Subtenant at its cost shall remove such Alterations and restore the Demised
Premises to the condition designated by Sublandlord in its election, before the
last day of the Term. Sublandlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant
will remove its Trade Fixtures at the end of the Term of this Sublease (as same
may be extended, renewed or modified) and Subtenant acknowledges that it shall
repair all damage caused by the removal of same. If Subtenant makes any
Alterations to the Demised Premises as provided in this paragraph, the
Alterations shall not be commenced until ten (10) business days after
Sublandlord has received written notice from Subtenant stating the date the
installation of the Alterations is to commence so that Sublandlord can post and
record an appropriate notice of nonresponsibility.
10.4 Mechanic's Liens. Subtenant shall pay all costs for construction
----------------
done by it or caused to be done by it on the Demised Premises as permitted by
this Sublease. Subtenant shall keep the Demised Premises and the Building free
and clear of all mechanics' liens or other liens resulting from construction
done by or for Subtenant. Subtenant shall have the right to contest the
correctness or the validity of any such lien if, immediately on demand of
Sublandlord, Subtenant procures and records a lien release bond issued by a
corporation authorized to issue surety bonds in the State of Washington in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of the claim of lien. The
bond shall meet the requirements of any applicable Law and shall provide for the
payment of any sum that the claimant may recover on the claim (together with
costs of suit, if it recovers in the action).

Fundamental Lease Provisions, insuring against all liability of Subtenant and
its Authorized Representatives arising out of and in connection with Subtenant's

conducted by Subtenant or any other persons within the Demised Premises. Such
insurance shall include a Broad Form Contractual liability insurance coverage
insuring performance by Subtenant of the
17
indemnity provisions of Paragraph 11.7. All such policies shall be written to
apply to all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and other covered
loss, however occasioned, occurring during the policy term. Such coverage shall
also contain endorsements: (i) deleting any employee exclusion on personal
injury coverage; (ii) including employees as additional insureds; and (iii)
providing for coverage of employer's automobile non-ownership liability. All
such insurance shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions,
injury and damage, which claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which
occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period. Subtenant shall
also maintain Workers' Compensation and any other insurance which may be
required in accordance with applicable Law.

with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, to the extent of at least
one hundred percent (100%) of their replacement value. The proceeds from any
such policy shall be used by Subtenant for the replacement of Subtenant's
Personal Property or the restoration of Subtenant's Work or Alterations.
Sublandlord, Prime Landlord and their respective Mortgagees (as defined in
Paragraph 14.5) shall be named as insureds on all such policies.
11.3 Fire Insurance - Demised Premises. Subtenant hereby acknowledges
---------------------------------
that Prime Landlord has various rights, duties and obligations regarding fire
insurance with extended coverage for the Demised Premises, and that Sublandlord
shall have no duties or obligations to so insure the Demised Premises. Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord Subtenant's Percentage Share of all premiums and other
costs or expenses required to be paid by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord as Prime
Tenant under the Prime Lease, as and when such amounts are required to be paid
by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease. If Sublandlord provides such insurance on
the Demised Premises as permitted under Article 12 of the Prime Lease, Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord Subtenant's Percentage Share of all premiums and costs
in connection with such insurance within fifteen (15) days after Sublandlord
delivers to Subtenant an invoice therefor. In no event shall Subtenant's
obligations under this Paragraph 11.3 be duplicative.
11.4 Other Insurance Matters. All insurance required to be maintained by
-----------------------
Subtenant under this Sublease shall: (a) be issued by insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State of Washington, with a financial rating of
at least A-XII as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports;
(b) be issued as a primary policy, and any insurance held by Sublandlord or
Prime Landlord shall be excess insurance; (c) contain an endorsement requiring
thirty (30) days' prior written notice from the insurance company to both
parties, Prime Landlord and the Mortgagee of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, if
any, before cancellation or change in the coverage, scope, or amount of any
policy; (d) require Subtenant to deposit with Sublandlord prior to the
commencement of the Term, a certificate of all insurance policies required under
this Sublease (which certificate shall state that Sublandlord may rely thereon)
and Subtenant shall also deliver certificates of renewal not less than thirty
(30) days before expiration of the term of each of the policies; (e) name
Sublandlord and Prime Landlord and Sublandlord's and Prime Landlord's respective
Mortgagee as additional insureds; (f) provide for severability of interests and
that an act or omission of one of the parties insured under the policy shall not
reduce or avoid coverage to the other parties insured under the policy; and (g)
be subject to reasonable increase, not more frequently than every two (2) years,
if in the opinion of the insurance broker retained by Sublandlord, the amount of
insurance coverage
18
maintained by Subtenant at that time is not adequate. In such case, Subtenant
shall increase the insurance coverage as reasonably required by Sublandlord's
insurance broker.
11.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
---------------------
contained in this Sublease or the Prime Lease, the parties release and waive any
Claims against each other, and their respective officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, licensees and invitees for right to recovery for damage or
injury to such waiving party or the property of such waiving party or the
property of others under the waiving party's control to the extent such injury
or damage is covered by insurance required to be, or actually is, carried by the
other party. The release and waiver by Subtenant shall expressly extend to
Prime Landlord and Prime Landlord's Authorized Representatives. Each party
shall cause each insurance policy obtained by such party as required under this
Sublease or the Prime Lease to provide that the insurance company waives all
right of recovery by way of subrogation as specified above in connection with
any damage or injury covered by such policy. The parties shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain insurance policies which do not charge an additional premium
for such waivers of subrogation. If, after exercise of such reasonable efforts,
an insurer requires the payment of an additional premium for such waiver of
subrogation, the party undertaking to obtain the insurance shall notify the
other party of the amount of such additional premium. The other party shall
have a period of ten (10) days after receiving the notice to deliver payment of
such additional premium to the other party. If such party refuses to pay the
additional premium charged, the other party is relieved of the obligation to
obtain a waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance
involved, provided, however, the foregoing waiver and release with respect to
injury or damage covered by such policy shall still apply.
11.6 Exculpation of Sublandlord. Except to the extent of Sublandlord's
--------------------------
gross negligence or intentional acts, neither Sublandlord nor Sublandlord's
Authorized Representatives shall be liable to Subtenant for any damage from any
cause to Subtenant or Subtenant's property, including, but not limited to, lost
profits and consequential damages. Subtenant waives and releases all claims
against Sublandlord for damage to person or property, including, but not limited
to, lost profits and consequential damages, arising for any reason, except that
Sublandlord shall be liable to Subtenant for damage to Subtenant resulting from
the actively-negligent acts or omissions of Sublandlord or its Authorized
Representatives acting within the scope of their authority.
11.7 Indemnification. Subtenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
---------------
Sublandlord and Prime Landlord and the Authorized Representatives of
Sublandlord and Prime Landlord harmless from all Claims arising out of the use
of the Demised Premises or resulting from the acts or omissions of Subtenant or
Subtenant's Authorized Representatives occurring in, on or about the Demised
Premises and the Building and from a breach of any duties or obligations of
Subtenant hereunder. Sublandlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
harmless Subtenant and Subtenant's Authorized Representatives from all Claims
arising out of the use of the Adjacent Master Premises or resulting from the
acts or omissions of Sublandlord or Sublandlord's Authorized Representatives
occurring in, on or about the Master Premises and the Building and from a breach
of any duties or obligations of Sublandlord hereunder.
19
12. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION.
-------------------------------------
12.1 Damage and Destruction. If, during the Term, the Demised Premises
----------------------
are totally or partially damaged or destroyed, Sublandlord shall use reasonable
efforts to cause Prime Landlord to repair, restore and rebuild the same in the
manner provided under the Prime Lease with all reasonable dispatch and
diligence. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Sublease unless
Prime Landlord has the right to terminate the Prime Lease under the terms of the
Prime Lease. If Prime Landlord restores the Demised Premises, Subtenant shall
be required to promptly commence and diligently pursue the restoration of
Subtenant's Work, Subtenant's Trade Fixtures and Subtenant's Personal Property.
Such items shall be the sole responsibility of Subtenant to restore and
Sublandlord shall have no responsibility for such restoration. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Subtenant shall have the right to terminate
this Sublease to the extent that Sublandlord has such rights under the Prime
Lease, by Subtenant's written notice of its election to require Sublandlord to
exercise such rights. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Sublease,
if damage or destruction to the Demised Premises occurs such that Sublandlord as
Prime Tenant under the Prime Lease has the right to terminate the Prime Lease,
either Sublandlord or Subtenant can terminate this Sublease by delivering notice
to the other party not more than fifteen (15) days after the event causing such
damage or destruction, unless Subtenant exercises any unexercised Options
hereunder within ten (10) days after receipt of Sublandlord's notice terminating
this Sublease, in which case this Sublease shall continue in full force and
effect. Unless the damage or destruction is caused by Subtenant's willful
misconduct, Minimum Monthly Rent shall xxxxx to the extent that, and for so long
as, minimum rental is abated under the Prime Lease. In the event this Sublease
is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 12, Minimum Monthly Rent, additional
rent and all other charges payable by Subtenant hereunder shall be abated as of
the date of the casualty. In the event of damage or destruction to the Demised
Premises which results in the termination of the Prime Lease (including by
exercise of those rights to terminate the Prime Lease, as more specifically set
forth therein), this Sublease shall similarly terminate without any further
liability. The provisions of this Sublease are intended to exclusively govern
the parties' obligations concerning continuation of the tenancy following damage
or destruction to the Demised Premises. Accordingly, Sublandlord and Subtenant
waive the provisions of any Laws with respect to any damage or destruction of
the Demised Premises or any rights of the parties hereto to terminate this
Sublease in the event of such damage or destruction.
12.2 Condemnation. In the event any part of the Demised Premises or the
------------
Common Areas is taken or condemned by any competent authority or is conveyed by
deed in lieu of condemnation (a "Taking") and Sublandlord as the Prime Tenant
has the right to terminate the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall have the right to
terminate this Sublease within forty-five (45) days after the earlier of the
date of title transfer or the date of taking of possession by the condemning
authority. If there is a Taking of a portion of the Demised Premises, and this
Sublease is not terminated, all of the terms of this Sublease shall continue in
effect, except that Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced to the same extent,
and for so long as, minimum rental is reduced under the Prime Lease. If
Subtenant does not elect to terminate this Sublease as set forth herein and if
the Prime Lease is not terminated as permitted under the terms of the Prime
Lease, then Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Prime Landlord
to make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Demised Premises or the
Common Areas as required under the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall not have any
right to any portion of the proceeds of any award for a Taking of the Demised
Premises; provided, however, Subtenant may make separate claim for the Taking of
its fixtures, leasehold improvements, and expenses for
20
moving Subtenant's fixtures, stock in trade and inventory. In the event of a
Taking which results in the termination of the Prime Lease (including by
exercise of those rights to terminate the Prime Lease, as more specifically set
forth therein), this Sublease shall similarly terminate without any further
liability. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby waive the provisions of any
applicable Law allowing either party to petition the court with jurisdiction
thereof to terminate this Sublease in the event of a Taking of the Demised
Premises or the Common Areas.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.
-----------------------
13.1 Sublandlord's Consent. Article 8 of the Prime Lease is incorporated
---------------------
herein and made a part of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Sublandlord consents to an assignment or sublease, Subtenant acknowledges that
Prime Landlord's consent is still required under the Prime Lease and Sublandlord
agrees to use reasonable efforts and diligence to obtain such consent.
Sublandlord's consent shall not be required in the event Subtenant assigns its
interest under this Sublease, or subleases all or any portion of the Demised
Premises, to a wholly-owned corporation or subsidiary of Subtenant, Subtenant's
parent or to an affiliate of Subtenant, or in the event that Subtenant merges
with another entity; provided however, Subtenant shall promptly advise
Sublandlord of any such assignment or sublease after same is entered into by
Subtenant. For purposes of this Sublease, an "affiliate" shall be defined as an
entity who is wholly owned by the corporation that wholly owns Subtenant. Any
consent of Sublandlord required by this Paragraph 13 shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided that any such proposed assignee or subtenant shall
have a financial worth which meets or exceeds that of Subtenant as of the date
of this Sublease. In no event shall Subtenant be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder in the event of an assignment of this Sublease or a
sublease of the Demised Premises.
13.2 Right of Recapture. During the Term, Subtenant agrees that Subtenant
------------------
will not assign its interest in the Sublease, or sublet the Demised Premises to
any person or business organization without first giving Sublandlord notice of
the intended assignment or subletting and the intended date thereof and the name
of the business organization involved and the effective date of the intended
assignment or subletting and the amount of the unamortized cost hereinafter
referred to. If Sublandlord's consent is required under Paragraph 13.1 above,
within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice by Subtenant to
Sublandlord of such intended assignment or subletting, Sublandlord gives notice
to Subtenant that Sublandlord elects to terminate this Sublease as of said
intended date of said assignment or subletting and Subtenant does not within
five (5) days withdraw its request to assign or sublet, then this Sublease shall
terminate on said intended date as if said intended date were the date
originally fixed herein for the termination hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Sublandlord elects to terminate this Sublease Subtenant
may rescind its requested assignment by written notice to Sublandlord within ten
(10) days following Sublandlord's written notice to Subtenant of its election to
terminate this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
Sublandlord acknowledges that Subtenant's business to be conducted in the
Demised Premises requires installation in the Demised Premises of certain
communications equipment by telecommunications customers of Subtenant
("Customers") in order for such Customers to interconnect with Subtenant's
facilities. Sublandlord agrees that no consent shall be required for any
license agreement or "colocation agreement" between Subtenant and any such
Customer for the purpose of permitting such a telecommunications connection, so
long as (i) such Customer agrees in writing to comply with all obligations of
Subtenant under this Sublease to the extent relating to the portion of the
Demised Premises in question and (ii) each such license or co-location agreement
is in writing and is consistent with the provisions of this Sublease.
21
13.3 No Release of Subtenant. No transfer or subletting by Subtenant
-----------------------
shall relieve Subtenant of the obligations to be performed by Subtenant under
this Sublease, whether occurring before or after such consent, transfer or
subletting. The acceptance by Sublandlord of payment from any other person
shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision of this
Sublease or to be a consent to any transfer or sublease, or to be a release of
Subtenant from any obligation under this Sublease. If this Sublease is assigned
or transferred, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet or
occupied by any person other than Subtenant, Sublandlord may, after default by
Subtenant, collect the rent from any such transferee, subtenant or occupant and
apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, and no such action
by Sublandlord shall be deemed a consent to such transfer, sublease or
occupancy.
13.4 Assumption of Obligations. Each transferee of Subtenant shall assume
-------------------------
in writing all applicable obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease and shall
be and remain liable jointly and severally with Subtenant for the payment of the
rent and the performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements
herein contained on Subtenant's part to be performed for the Term for that
portion of the Demised Premises to be sublet or assigned by Subtenant. No
transfer shall be binding on Sublandlord unless the transferee or Subtenant
delivers to Sublandlord a counterpart of the instrument of transfer in
recordable form which contains a covenant of assumption by the transferee
reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to Sublandlord, consistent with
the requirements of this paragraph. The failure or refusal of the transferee to
execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the
transferee from its liability to Sublandlord hereunder. Sublandlord shall have
no obligation whatsoever to perform any duty to or respond to any request from
any Subtenant, it being the obligation of Subtenant to administer the terms of
its subleases.
13.5 Involuntary Assignment. No interest of Subtenant in this Sublease
----------------------
shall be assignable by operation of law, including, without limitation, the
transfer of this Sublease by testacy or intestacy. Each of the following acts
shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Subtenant is or becomes
bankrupt or insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act is instituted in which Subtenant is the
"debtor"; (b) if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Sublease;
and (c) if, in any proceeding or action to which Subtenant is a party, a
receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Demised Premises.
An involuntary assignment shall constitute an incurable default by Subtenant and
Sublandlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Sublease, in which
case this Sublease shall not be treated as an asset of Subtenant.
13.6 Deemed Transfers. If Subtenant is a corporation, company or other
----------------
legal entity or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer,
assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate from the date of execution of this
Sublease in excess of fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed an assignment or
transfer within the meaning and provisions of this Paragraph.
13.7 Assignment of Sublease Rents. Subtenant immediately and irrevocably
----------------------------
assigns to Sublandlord all rent from any subletting of all or any part of the
Demised Premises, and Sublandlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for
Subtenant for purposes hereof, or a receiver for Subtenant appointed on
Sublandlord's application, may collect such rents and apply same toward
Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease; provided, however, that until the
occurrence of an event of default by Subtenant, Subtenant shall have the right
and license to collect such rents.
22
14. DEFAULT.
-------
14.1 Subtenant's Default.
-------------------
(a) Definition of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
---------------------
shall constitute a default by Subtenant:
(1) Failure to pay Rent when due where such failure shall continue for
five (5) days after notice has been delivered to Subtenant (which notice shall
be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Law to
terminate this Sublease or to declare a forfeiture thereof).
(2) Failure to perform any other provision of this Sublease if the
failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been
delivered to Subtenant (which notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition
to, any notice required under Law to terminate this Sublease or to declare a
forfeiture thereof). If the failure to perform cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, Subtenant shall not be in default of this Sublease if
Subtenant commences to cure the failure to perform within five (5) days after
Sublandlord's notice and diligently and in good faith continues to pursue the
cure to completion.
(3) (i) The making by Subtenant of any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing by or against Subtenant of a petition to
have Subtenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or
arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Subtenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days),
(iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the Demised Premises or of
Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, where possession is not restored to
Subtenant within sixty (60) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the
Demised Premises or of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, where such seizure
is not discharged within sixty (60) days.
14.2 Sublandlord's Remedies for Subtenant's Default. Sublandlord shall
----------------------------------------------
have the following remedies if Subtenant commits a default. These remedies are
not exclusive and are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later
allowed by Law.
(a) Sublandlord can continue this Sublease in full force and effect,
and the Sublease will continue in effect as long as Sublandlord does not
terminate Subtenant's right to possession, and Sublandlord shall have the right
to collect rent when due, all in accordance with Washington Law. During the
period Subtenant is in default, Sublandlord can enter the Demised Premises and
relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Subtenant's account.
Subtenant shall be obligated to promptly pay to Sublandlord all reasonable costs
Sublandlord incurs in reletting the Demised Premises. Reletting can be for a
period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Sublease. Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord the rent due under this Sublease on the dates the rent
is due, less the rent Sublandlord receives from any reletting. No act by
Sublandlord allowed by this paragraph shall terminate this Sublease unless
Sublandlord notifies Subtenant in writing that Sublandlord elects to terminate
this Sublease. Sublandlord may from time to time sublet the Demised Premises or
any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the Term of
this Sublease) and at such rent and such other terms as Sublandlord in its sole
discretion may
23
deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Demised
Premises. Upon each subletting, Subtenant shall be immediately liable to pay to
Sublandlord, in addition to indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, for the
cost of such subletting and such alterations and repairs incurred by Sublandlord
in connection with such subletting. At the option of Sublandlord, rents received
from such subletting shall be applied first, to payment of any indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder, from Subtenant to Sublandlord; second to the
payment of any costs of such subletting and of such alterations and repairs;
third, to payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any,
shall be held by Sublandlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same
becomes due hereunder. If the amounts received from such subletting during that
month, as applied by Sublandlord as specified above, are less than the amounts
required to be paid during that month by Subtenant hereunder, Subtenant shall
pay any such deficiency to Sublandlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
paid monthly. Taking possession of the Demised Premises by Sublandlord shall not
be construed as an election on Sublandlord's part to terminate this Sublease
unless a written notice of such intention is given to Subtenant.
(b) Sublandlord can terminate Subtenant's right to possession of the
Demised Premises at any time. No act by Sublandlord other than giving written
notice to Subtenant shall terminate this Sublease. Acts of maintenance, efforts
to relet the Demised Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Sublandlord's
initiative to protect Sublandlord's interest under this Sublease shall not
constitute a termination of Subtenant's right to possession. On termination,
Sublandlord has the right to recover from Subtenant all amounts permitted by
law, including without limitation:
(1) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that
had been earned at the time of termination of this Sublease.
(2) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which
the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of
this Sublease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent
that Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(3) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of rent that Subtenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided, and
(4) Any other amount, including reasonable legal fees and court
costs, necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all detriment proximately caused
by Subtenant's default.
"The worth, at the time of the award," as referred to in subparagraph (3)
of this subparagraph, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the
discount rate of the Xxxxx Fargo Bank N.A. (or its successor) at the time of the
award, plus two percent (2%).
(c) Sublandlord, at any time after Subtenant commits a default, can
cure the default at Subtenant's cost after providing Subtenant with prior
written notice of its intent to do so, except in the event of an emergency, in
which event no prior notice shall be required. If Sublandlord at any time, by
reason of Subtenant's default, pays a sum or does any act that requires the
payment of any sum, the sum paid by Sublandlord shall be due immediately from
Subtenant to Sublandlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later
date shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the
24
date the sum is paid by Sublandlord until Sublandlord is reimbursed by
Subtenant. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.
(d) All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by Sublandlord in collecting rent or enforcing Subtenant's
obligations under the Sublease shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon
demand.
14.3 Interest on Unpaid Rent. Rent not paid when due shall bear simple
-----------------------
interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due until paid.
14.4 Late Charges. Subtenant acknowledges that late payment by Subtenant
------------
to Sublandlord of any amount due under this Sublease or the delivery of a check
by Subtenant which is dishonored or returned by the bank upon which said check
is drawn will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Sublease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Sublandlord by the
terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the
Demised Premises. Therefore, if (a) any amount payable by Subtenant is not
received by Sublandlord within five (5) days after the due date thereof, or (b)
Subtenant delivers a check to Sublandlord which is dishonored or returned by the
bank upon which said check is drawn (with each event set forth in clauses (a)
and (b) being referred to herein as a "late payment"), Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord an additional sum of three percent (3%) of the overdue amount or the
amount of such dishonored or returned check, as the case may be (the "late
charge"). The parties agree that this charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs that Sublandlord will incur by reason of such late payment
or delivery of such check by Subtenant. Acceptance of any such charge shall not
constitute a waiver of Subtenant's default with respect to the overdue or unpaid
amount, or prevent Sublandlord from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies available to Sublandlord. If Sublandlord prepares and serves any
notice on Subtenant to terminate this Sublease or to declare a forfeiture
thereof, Subtenant also shall pay to Sublandlord security for performance on
demand the reasonable cost of preparing and serving such notice.
14.5 Sublandlord's or Prime Landlord's Default. In the case of a monetary
-----------------------------------------
default by Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall have a period of ten (10) days after
receipt of written notice thereof from Subtenant to cure such monetary default.
In the case of a non-monetary default, Sublandlord shall commence promptly to
cure such default after receipt of written notice from Subtenant specifying the
nature of such default and shall complete such cure within thirty (30) days
thereafter, provided that if the nature of the non-monetary default is such that
it cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, Sublandlord shall have
such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to complete its performance
so long as Sublandlord has proceeded with diligence following receipt of
Subtenant's notice and is then proceeding with diligence to cure such default.
Whenever Subtenant is required to deliver notice to Sublandlord of Sublandlord's
default or contends that Prime Landlord is in default under the Prime Lease,
written notice shall also be delivered at the same time to Prime Landlord or the
holder of any Encumbrance, provided that Sublandlord has delivered prior notice
of the identity and address of such holder or lessor to Subtenant ("Mortgagee").
The Mortgagee shall have the same time periods within which to cure such
defaults after Mortagee's receipt of proper notice hereunder. In this
connection, any representative of the Mortgagee shall have the right to enter
upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of curing any such default.
25
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
-----------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, any judgment
obtained by Subtenant against Sublandlord shall be satisfied only out of
Sublandlord's interest in the Demised Premises, the Prime Lease, and any
sublease of the Prime Lease which shall in no event be less than Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000). Neither Sublandlord nor any of its general or limited
partners, officers, directors, shareholders, members, interest holders or
beneficiaries shall have any personal liability for any matter in connection
with this Sublease or its obligations as Sublandlord of the Demised Premises.
Subtenant shall not institute, seek or enforce any personal or deficiency
judgment against Sublandlord or any of its general or limited partners,
officers, directors, shareholders, members, interest holders or beneficiaries
and none of their property, except the Sublandlord's right, title and interest
in the Prime Lease and any subleases of the Prime Lease and the rents receivable
by Sublandlord, shall be available to satisfy any judgment hereunder.
16. SUBLANDLORD'S ENTRY ON PREMISES.
-------------------------------
16.1 Right of Entry. Upon reasonable advance notice, Prime Landlord,
--------------
Sublandlord and Authorized Representatives of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord
shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable times
during Subtenant's normal business hours so long as Prime Landlord, Sublandlord
and any of their respective Authorized Representatives are accompanied by a
representative of Subtenant (and Subtenant agrees that it will cooperate in all
necessary aspects to provide such a representative for such purpose) for any of
the following purposes and so long as Sublandlord does not materially interfere
with the operation of Subtenant's business in the Demised Premises:
(a) To determine whether the Demised Premises are in good condition
and whether Subtenant is complying with its obligations under this Sublease;
(b) To do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to
the Demised Premises that Sublandlord has the right or obligation to perform;
and
(c) To serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or allowed
under the provisions of this Sublease.
16.2 Limited Liability for Entry. Sublandlord shall not be liable in any
---------------------------
manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other
damage arising out of Sublandlord's entry on the Demised Premises as provided in
this paragraph, except damage resulting from a breach of Sublandlord's Entry
Duties (as defined in this Paragraph), or from the negligence of Sublandlord or
its Authorized Representatives acting within the scope of their authority.
Subtenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if
Sublandlord exercises any rights reserved in this paragraph. Sublandlord shall
reasonably conduct its activities in and about the Demised Premises as allowed
in this paragraph in a manner that will reasonably minimize the inconvenience,
annoyance, or disturbance to Subtenant ("Sublandlord's Entry Duties").
26
17. SUBORDINATION.
-------------
This Sublease is and shall be subordinate to any ground lease or
Encumbrance affecting the Demised Premises, provided that Sublessor shall obtain
from any existing or future ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary an agreement
in a form reasonably acceptable to Subtenant where such party agrees not to
disturb Subtenant's possession of the Demised Premises so long as Subtenant is
not in default under this Sublease after notice and beyond any applicable cure
period. Subtenant shall from time to time, on request from Sublandlord, execute
and deliver any reasonable documents or instruments that may be required by a
lender to effectuate any subordination. If Subtenant fails to execute and
deliver any such documents or instruments and such failure continues following
an additional written notice and cure period of ten (10) days, Subtenant
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Sublandlord as Subtenant's special
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents or instruments.
Nothing herein shall be construed to waive any breach resulting from Subtenant's
failure to execute documents to effectuate or confirm such subordination.
18. WAIVER.
------
18.1 No Impairment of Rights. No delay, waiver or omission in the
-----------------------
exercise of any right or remedy of Sublandlord or Subtenant on any default by
either Sublandlord or Subtenant, shall impair such a right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver.
18.2 Acceptance of Rent. The receipt and acceptance by Sublandlord of
------------------
delinquent rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default.
18.3 No Surrender. No act or conduct of Sublandlord, including, without
------------
limitation, the acceptance of the keys to the Demised Premises, shall constitute
an acceptance of the surrender of the Demised Premises by Subtenant before the
expiration of the Term. Only a written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant
shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Demised Premises and
accomplish a termination of this Sublease.
18.4 No Waiver of Consent. Either party's consent to or approval of any
--------------------
act by the other party requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary such party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent act by the other party.
18.5 Written Waiver. Any waiver by Sublandlord of any default must be in
--------------
writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or
any other provision of this Sublease.
19. SALE OR TRANSFER OF PREMISES.
----------------------------
If Sublandlord sells or transfers any of Sublandlord's right, title or
interest in or to the Demised Premises or the Prime Lease, on consummation of
the sale or transfer, Sublandlord shall be released from any liability
thereafter accruing under this Sublease if Sublandlord's successor has assumed
in writing, for the benefit of Subtenant, Sublandlord's obligations under this
Sublease, Subtenant is so notified of such sale or transfer and Sublandlord
delivers to Sublandlord's successor any funds in which Subtenant has an
interest.
20. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
---------------------
27
20.1 Condition. On expiration of the Term, Subtenant shall surrender to
---------
Sublandlord the Demised Premises and all Subtenant's Work and Alterations in
good condition and repair (except for ordinary wear and tear and damage and
destruction to the Demised Premises covered by Paragraph 12) except for
Alterations that Subtenant is obligated to remove under the provisions of
Paragraph 10.3. Subtenant shall remove all of Subtenant's Personal Property
(including, but not limited to, Subtenant's Trade Fixtures) within the above
stated time. Subtenant shall perform all restoration made necessary by the
removal of any Alterations, Subtenant's Personal Property before the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term.
20.2 Removal of Subtenant's Property. If Subtenant fails to remove all
-------------------------------
Alterations that Subtenant is obligated to remove and all Subtenant's Personal
Property and Subtenant's Trade Fixtures from the Demised Premises, Sublandlord
can elect, without waiving any rights or remedies Sublandlord has against
Subtenant for such default, after ten (10) days prior written notice to
Subtenant and opportunity to cure, to retain or dispose of in any manner such
Alterations, Subtenant's Personal Property or Subtenant's Trade Fixtures.
Subtenant waives all claims against Sublandlord for any damage to Subtenant
resulting from Sublandlord's retention or disposition of any such Alterations or
Subtenant's Personal Property or Subtenant's Trade Fixtures. Subtenant shall be
liable to Sublandlord for Sublandlord's costs for storing, removing, and
disposing of any such Alterations or Subtenant's Personal Property or
Subtenant's Trade Fixtures.
20.3 Damages in Case of Delay. If Subtenant fails to surrender the
------------------------
Demised Premises to Sublandlord on expiration or earlier termination of the Term
as required by this paragraph, in addition to the provisions of Paragraph 21,
Subtenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from
all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, fees and expenses
including reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from Subtenant's failure to
surrender the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by a
succeeding tenant from Subtenant's failure to timely surrender the Demised
Premises.
21. HOLDING OVER.
------------
Article 9 of the Prime Lease is incorporated herein and made a part of this
Sublease.
22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES; FINANCIALS.
---------------------------------
22.1 Delivery by Subtenant. Subtenant shall at any time and from time to
---------------------
time upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior written notice from Sublandlord
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord a statement in writing (referred
to herein as an "Estoppel Certificate") (i) certifying that this Sublease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modification and certifying that this Sublease, as so modified, is in full
force and effect) and the dates to which the Minimum Monthly Rent and other
charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to
Subtenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublandlord
hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) covering
such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Sublandlord or by any
present or prospective Sublandlord's Mortgagee. Any such statement may be
relied upon by any prospective purchaser, ground lessor or encumbrancer of the
Demised Premises or of all or any portion of the real property of which the
Demised Premises are a part.
28
22.2 Failure to Deliver. Subtenant's failure to deliver such statement
------------------
within such time shall constitute a material breach of this Sublease and, if not
cured within an additional ten (10) days' written notice from Sublandlord, shall
be conclusive upon Subtenant (i) that this Sublease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Sublandlord, (ii) that
there are no uncured defaults in Sublandlord's performance, (iii) that not more
than one month's Minimum Monthly Rent has been paid in advance, and (iv) as to
such other matters as may be specified in the requested statement.
22.3 Subtenant's Financial Data. Within fifteen (15) days after
--------------------------
Sublandlord's written request, but not more than once in any calendar year,
Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord with the following documents: (a) financial
statements including, but not limited to, balance sheets, profit and loss
statements, income statements and changes to financial condition, which reflect
Subtenant's current financial condition and (b) written evidence of ownership of
controlling stock interest if Subtenant is a corporation. Any information
obtained from Subtenant's financial statements shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed to any third party, other than to carry out the purposes of
this Sublease; provided, however, Sublandlord shall incur no liability for the
inadvertent disclosure of any such information, and Sublandlord may divulge the

purposes of renovation, storage and employee lunch room facilities excluded) or
(ii) on the first day of the month following ten months after the execution of
this lease or if this lease is executed on the first day of the month, the term
will commence ten months after execution. Lessee shall have possession of the
leased premises immediately upon the effective date of this lease for purposes
of renovating the leased premises, storage of goods and materials and the
operation of an employee lunch room.
3. Fixed Minimum Annual Rental
---------------------------
Lessee shall pay to Lessor at such place as Lessor from time to time
designates, an annual rental of $43,200, payable in twelve equal monthly
installments of $3,600. The fixed annual minimum rental shall be paid in advance
on or before the first day of each and every month. As used in this lease, the
term lease year shall mean each consecutive 12-month period which begins on the
anniversary date of the term and end 12 calendar months later. All rental
payments shall be made by checks payable to Lessor or any other entity
designated by Lessor and mailed to it at the address designated by Lessor, or by
check made payable to any other payee or mailed to any other address which
Lessor, or any successor in interest to Lessor, may designate in writing.
Lessee agrees, however, that when it commences use of part of the third
floor for its employee lunch room, Lessee shall pay rent on the space occupied
by the employee lunch room from the date of occupancy to the date of the term.
The rent, which Lessee agrees to pay monthly (prorated as to partial months),
shall be $3,600 per month multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the square footage of the lunch room and the denominator of which is the square
footage of the entire third and fourth floors.
No rent shall be due under the terms of this agreement until all
improvements to be completed by Lessor prior to the commencement of the lease
term have in fact been made in accordance with the standard and specifications
applicable to each improvement.
4. Taxes, Utility Charges, Etc.
----------------------------
Lessee agrees that it will pay all charges for electricity, water, gas,
telephone and all other utility services used on the leased premises. These
charges will be separately metered to Lessee's premises, whenever practical, and
as agreed upon between Lessor and Lessee. In any case where separate metering
cannot be practically accomplished, Lessee shall pay its share of the cost of
utilities based on actual use between the leased premises and the rest of the
-2-
Decatur Building based on recommendations of the utility company supplying the
service involved, provided that if a reasonably accurate allocation cannot be
obtained from that source, the allocation shall be based on Lessee's pro rata
share as defined in this lease. For the first year of the term, Lessor may
apportion the cost of unmetered utilities based on Lessee's pro rata share as
hereafter defined, subject to adjustment at the end of said first year, based on
Lessee's actual share of the cost of the utility involved as determined above.
If unmetered utilities are paid on an estimated basis, they shall be adjusted
from time to time, at the request of either party, to Lessee's actual share as
determined above. Lessee further agrees to pay all taxes and assessments upon
the leased premises and all taxes and assessments attributable to the
Southeastern entrance, lobby and two elevators connected therewith (hereinafter
said area and the two elevators in connection therewith are referred to as the
"Southeastern Entrance Area"), which are payable during the original lease term
or any renewal thereof; provided, however, that, if other occupants of the
Decatur Building, including Lessor use on a regular basis the Southeastern
Entrance Area, then the Lessee and Lessor shall share on a pro rata basis the
taxes on the Southeastern Entrance Area. The term use shall not include said
other occupants' or Lessor's occasional infrequent use of the Southeastern
Entrance Area. The pro rata share of each shall be computed as follows: the
taxes attributable to the Southeastern Entrance Area shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of floor area leased to
Lessee and the denominator of which is the total square footage of floor space
on the second, third and fourth floors of the Decatur Building. Lessee shall pay
an amount equal to the product of the multiplication. Lessor shall pay the
balance of the taxes which are attributable to taxes on the Southeastern
Entrance Area. The parties shall attempt to have the real property taxes and
assessments against the Decatur Building segregated as to the leased premises,
the Southeastern Entrance Area and the rest of the Decatur Building, with such
segregation to include attributing to the leased premises a pro rata share of
the taxes and assessments against the land, which pro rata share shall be
16.425% for each floor in the Decatur Building leased by Lessee (hereafter
Lessee's pro rata share). In the event segregation of taxes is not accomplished,
the taxes and assessments shall be prorated based on the computations, including
work papers, used by the King County Assessor in appraising the Decatur
Building, including land; provided, if such computations are not available or do
not indicate the Assessor's method of distinguishing between floors for
assessment purposes, Lessee shall pay a pro rata share is defined above. If at
any time during the lease term a tax or excise on rent payable hereunder is
levied or assessed by the United States or the State of Washington against the
Lessor, such tax or excise shall be considered taxes for purposes of this
paragraph. Excluded from the term "tax" are all general income taxes, gift
taxes, inheritance and/or estate taxes. Taxes assessed during the term, but
payable in whole or in installments after the termination of this lease, and
assessments which are covered by bond or payable in installments, shall be
adjusted and prorated and Lessor shall pay the prorated share thereof for the
period subsequent to the term, and Lessee shall pay the prorated share thereof
for the term of this lease. Taxes shall be prorated as of the termination of
this lease.

5. Improvements by Lessee
----------------------
It is understood Lessee plans to "remodel" the premises and make
improvements pursuant to constructing office space therein, including work in
other areas of the Decatur Building necessary to permit Lessee's operation in
the leased premises and including changes necessary to permit free access
between the leased premises and areas occupied by Lessee in the adjoining M & A
Building; and in this connection, Lessor, who leases all or a portion of the
M & A Building to Lessee, consents to Lessee renovating the M & A Building to
provide for such access between the two buildings. Lessee may place or install
in the leased premises such fixtures and equipment as it shall deem desirable
for the conduct of business therein, and may paint the premises such colors as
it elects. Personal property, fixtures and equipment used in the conduct of
Lessee's business (as distinguished from fixtures and equipment used in
connection with the operation and maintenance of the building improvements)
placed by Lessee on or in said premises (even though placed prior to the
commencement of said term), shall not become a part of the realty, even if
nailed or screwed or otherwise fastened to the premises, but shall retain their
status as personalty and may be removed by Lessee at any time. In the event
Lessee does not remove its personal property and trade fixtures from the leased
premises within 45 days following the termination of the lease term and any
option, Lessor may treat said fixtures as abandoned, retain the fixtures as a
part of the leased premises, or have the personal property and fixtures removed
from the leased premises and charge Lessee with the expense of removing said
fixtures. Lessee may obliterate any signs or color effect installed by it. Any
damage caused the leased premises by the removal of Lessee's personal property
or fixtures shall be repaired by Lessee at its expense. Lessee agrees that it
will not permit any mechanic's, materialmen's, or other liens to stand against
the leased premises for work or materials furnished Lessee in connection with
any construction or improvements made by Lessee or Lessee's agents within the
premises.
6. Lessee's Assumption of Liability
--------------------------------
Lessee agrees that, during the original term of this lease and any
extension thereof, it will indemnify and save Lessor harmless from any and all
liability, damage expense, cause of action, suits, claims or judgments arising
from injury to person or property on the leased premises, except such as may
arise out of the willful or negligent act of Lessor, or Lessor's agents or
employees.
Lessee shall at all times provide a comprehensive general liability policy
containing an endorsement for public liability insurance covering the premises
in an amount not less than $300,000 in respect to the injury or death of a
single person, and to the limit of $1,000,000 in respect to
-4-
any one occurrence, and to a limit of not less than $50,000 in respect to
property damage, subject to such deductible insurance programs as Lessee's
financial condition reasonably justifies. Lessor shall be named as an additional
insured under the comprehensive general liability policy.
In addition to the comprehensive general liability policy referred to in
the preceding subparagraph of this paragraph, Lessee agrees to obtain and keep
in force an umbrella excess liability policy of insurance in an amount of
$1,000,000 in addition to the dollar amount of the endorsement in the
comprehensive general liability policy. In addition, Lessor at its option shall
be named as an additional insured under the umbrella excess liability policy
with any increased premiums resulting from Lessor being carried on said excess
liability policy being for the amount of Lessor.
In the event Tenant's net worth decreases from what it was at fiscal year
end January 31, 1976, all insurance policies required herein shall be reviewed
every three years and adjusted to reflect any changes in conditions thereof as
Lessor reasonably requires.
The insurance policies provided for in this paragraph shall be placed with
or written by responsible insurance companies of sound financial condition,
authorized by the appropriate governmental authorities to write insurance in the
State of Washington.
7. Repairs to Leased Premises
--------------------------
Lessee accepts the leased premises in the condition they are in on the date
this lease is signed, with such changes therein from the date of this lease to
the date the term commences as Lessee approves.
Lessee shall, during the term of this lease or any extension thereof, keep
the leased premises in good order, repair, and in a neat, clean condition,
except for reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage caused by fire,
earthquake, tornado, the elements, acts of God, or other casualty beyond the
control of Lessee to the leased premises during the lease term or any extension
thereof.
Lessor shall, during the full term of the lease and any renewals thereof,
keep the structural portions of the leased premises and the Decatur Building,
including, but not limited to, the roof, walls (except glass in the leased
premises), foundations, basic floors of the leased premises, the plumbing
connected therewith (except plumbing within the leased premises), and the common
areas of the building of which the leased
-5-
premises a part, including the Southeastern Entrance Area, in good condition and
repair. Provided, however, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for expenses incurred
by Lessor in connection with the nonstructural maintenance and/or operation of
the Southeastern Entrance Area. In the event that all or a portion of the second
floor of the Decatur Building is occupied by a third party or occupied by Lessor
or its agents and said occupant or Lessor uses on a regular basis the
Southeastern Entrance Area, then the expenses incurred in connection with the
maintenance, repair and operation of the Southeastern Entrance Area shall be
prorated between Lessor and Lessee according to the formula set forth in
paragraph 4 hereof for the proration of taxes on the Southeastern Entrance Area.
Lessee agrees to give Lessor notice upon observing any defect requiring repair.
Should Lessor fail to make the repairs within a reasonable time following
receipt of the notice, Lessee may make such repairs and deduct the expenses of
making the same from the rent accruing. Lessee agrees, however, that before
commencing any repairs that could lead to a set off against rents, it will give
to the holder of the first mortgage or first deed of trust beneficiary
(hereafter Lessor's lender) at less: 30 days' advance written notice of such
repairs and shall afford the Lessor's lender an opportunity to commence the cure
of any default of Lessor in making such repairs and so long as the lender
commences said cure within said 30-day period and continues such cure, Lessee
will not commence said repairs nor set off against rents. If during the making
of any repairs or alterations herein required to be made by Lessor any part of
the premises in excess of 25% of the floor area of the leased premises are
uninhabitable for Lessee's purposes for more than three days, credit against
rent for the uninhabitable portion of the leased premises shall be given for the
period of time the spaces are uninhabitable based on the uninhabitable floor
space compared to the floor space of the leased premises.
Lessor may enter the leased premises at any reasonable time on
reasonable notice to Lessee (except that no notice need to be given in case of
emergency for purposes of inspection or making of such repairs as required of
Lessor in the lease herein on or about the premises as Lessor deems necessary or
desirable.
At the expiration of the lease term, or any extension or renewal
thereof, Lessee shall leave the leased premises in good condition, allowance
being made for ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or by earthquake,
tornado, the elements, acts of God, or other casualty beyond the control of
Lessee excepted. Lessee shall not be required to restore the leased premises to
the condition in which the leased premises are in as of the commencement of the
term hereof; it being agreed that Lessor shall accept the leased premises with
such alterations, remodeling, additions or new construction as may have been
made pursuant to the authorization contained in this lease agreement.
8. Assignment
----------
Lessee shall not have the right to assign, let or sublet the whole or
any part of the Lessee's rights under this lease
-6-
without the consent of the Lessor, except that such consent shall not be
required for assignments or subleasing for uses comparable to Lessee's use of
the leased premises; provided, however, that in the event the Lessee assigns or
sublets any or all of its rights under this lease, it shall nevertheless remain
liable to Lessor for the full payment of rent according to the terms hereof.
9. Holding Over
------------
If Lessee holds over or remains in possession of the leased premises after
expiration of this lease or after any sooner termination thereof, without any
new lease of said premises being entered into between the parties hereto, or any
option hereinafter contained being exercised by written notice, such holding
over or continued possession shall, if rent is paid by Lessee, and accepted by
Lessor for or during any period of time Lessee holds over or remains in
possession, create a tenancy from month to month only at the last monthly rental
and upon the terms (other than length of term, or option for renewal, purchase
or cancellation) herein specified, which may at any time be terminated by either
party by 30 days' written notice given to the other party.
10. Quiet Possession
----------------
Lessor further covenants that it had full right, power and authority to
make this lease. Lessor covenants that so long as Lessor is the owner of the
leased premises, Lessee shall have quiet and peaceful possession thereof as
against any adverse claim of Lessor or any party claiming under Lessor.
11. Lessee's Default, Lessor's Default
-----------------------------------
If Lessee is in default in the payment of any sum or sums, whether stated
as fixed amount or as a variable amount or as a pro rata share, and whether
payable to Lessor, taxing authority, or other third person named herein, which
sum or sums is/are payable by Lessee hereunder, and if such default continues
for more than 20 days after written notice from Lessor, or if Lessee is in
default with respect to the performance of any other term, covenant or condition
required to be kept or performed by Lessee, and if such default continues for
more than 30 days after written notice from Lessor (or if such last mentioned
default is of such a nature that it cannot with due diligence be cured within
such 30-day period, then if Lessee fails to commence the curing thereof
forthwith after such notice and thereafter to complete the curing thereof with
due diligence): or if Lessee abandons the demised premises; or if Lessee
breaches any of its obligations hereunder which cannot be cured; then in any
event Lessor shall have the right, at Lessor's option and without limiting
Lessor in the exercise of any other remedy which Lessor may have hereunder or by
law or equity to which Lessor may resort, either cumulatively or in the
alternative, to the following;
(a) To declare this lease at an end and upon giving notice of same,
Lessor may re-enter the demised premises and take exclusive possession thereof,
and thereupon Lessee shall have no further claim therein or hereunder.
(b) Without terminating this lease, Lessor has the option of continuing
this lease in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessor's right to
possession, and Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this
lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due under this lease.
(c) To cure any such default or any portion thereof for the account of and
at the expense of Lessee either concurrently with, or at any time before or
after, the exercise of any other remedy granted herein by law, in which event
all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lessor in connection with the curing
of such default shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall have
the right at any time subsequent to any such curing, to exercise any right or
remedy herein granted to Lessor which may have arisen by reason of the default
so cured.
Lessor may, at any time after breach of this lease by Lessee, relet
the demised premises and Lessor shall be entitled to the difference between the
rent received from the new lessee, less the expenses of reletting the premises,
and the rent provided for under the terms of this lease agreement. Efforts by
Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Lessee's default shall not be deemed a
waiver by Lessor of any of Lessor's options or rights to recover damages under
this paragraph.
In the event of default, all of the Lessee's fixtures, furniture,
equipment, improvements and alterations shall remain on the subject premises and
in that event, and continuing during the length of said default, Lessor shall
have the right to take the exclusive possession of same and to use same, rent or
charge free, until all defaults are cured, or, at its option, upon notice at any
time during the term of this lease, to require Lessee to forthwith remove same.
If Lessee fails to remove such property within 20 days after such notice, then
Lessor may treat such property as having been abandoned and said property will
become the property of Lessor and Lessor may use, sell, or otherwise dispose of
all such property in such manner as Lessor deems available.
-8-
Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any sum payable
to Lessor hereunder which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the
rate of 10% per annum from the date same becomes due until paid.
(d) In the event any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act or any
amendment thereto is commenced by or against Lessee and is not dismissed
within 60 days thereafter, or in the event Lessee is adjudged insolvent or
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver is
appointed in any proceedings or action to which Lessee is a party, with
authority to take possession or control of the demised premises or the
business conducted therein by Lessee and such receiver is not removed and
relieved of authority insofar as the demised premises is concerned within
30 days thereafter, then the occurrence of any such event shall be deemed
to constitute and shall be construed as a repudiation by Lessee of its
obligations hereunder and a breach of this lease, and thereupon at Lessor's
option, exercisable at any time thereafter, this lease shall cease to be an
asset of Lessee or Lessee's estate and Lessor shall have the right after
the exercise of such option, to forthwith enter and repossess the demised
premises and to enjoy any and all of the other rights and remedies granted
by this paragraph which accrue to the benefit of Lessor upon a default of
Lessee, which default is not cured within the period of time stipulated.
In the case of default by Lessor in the performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained, and such default shall continue without Lessor
commencing and preceding with due diligence to cure any such default for 30
days after receipt by Lessor of written notice thereof given by Lessee, its
agent or attorneys, then, provided Lessee gives notice to Lessor's lender and an
opportunity to commence and cure default as set out in Paragraph 7 above, no
rent shall be paid or become payable under this lease for such time as such
default shall continue after the expiration of said 30-day period, and Lessee,
at its option, may:
(a) Declare the term ended and vacate the leased premises and be
relieved from all further obligation under this lease;
(b) Pay any sum necessary to perform any obligation of Lessor
hereunder and deduct the cost thereof, with interest in the amount of 10%
per annum from the rents thereafter to become due hereunder. Subject to the
30-day notice (50 days as to minor matters which do not interfere with
Lessee's reasonable use of the premises and the exercise of the rights
granted under this lease) and notice to
-9-
Lessor's lender, the performance of each and every agreement herein
contained on the part of Lessor shall be conditioned precedent to the right
of Lessor to collect rent hereunder or to enforce this lease as against
Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, Lessor
shall not be in default under any provision of this lease unless written
notice specifying such default is mailed to Lessor and to any and all
mortgagees and/or trust deed holders of which Lessee has, prior to such
notice, been notified in writing. Lessee agrees that any such mortgage or
trust deed holder shall have the right to cure such default on behalf of
Lessor within 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice. Lessee further
agrees not to invoke any of its remedies under this lease until said 30
days have elapsed, or during any period that such mortgages or trust deed
holder is proceeding to cure such default with due diligence, or is taking
steps with due diligence to obtain a legal right to enter the leased
premises and cure the default.
12. Insurance
---------
Lessor agrees that it will, during the original term hereof, or any renewal
thereof, at its expense, keep in effect upon the leased premises, fire insurance
with extended coverage endorsement, written by a responsible insurance company
or insurance companies authorized to do an insurance business in the State of
Washington, in an amount equal to not less than 90% of the insurable replacement
value new of the entire building of which the leased premises are a part, said
policy or policies of insurance to provide that payment for any losses covered
under or by said policy or policies of insurance shall be made to Lessor and/or
Lessee and/or any mortgagee and/or assignee designated by Lessee and approved by
Lessor from time to time, as their respective interests may appear; provided,
however, that Lessor and Lessee each may appear; provided, however, that Lessor
and Lessee each agree to cooperate with each other in the adjustment of any
claim or claims with the insurance carriers and the proceeds of any insurance
recovery shall be used to repair, alter, improve or restore the leased premises,
subject to such controls thereon as shall be required by Lessee's and Lessor's
lenders, mortgages or deed of trust holders. Notwithstanding the above, if the
premises are substantially damaged or destroyed during the last three years of
the initial 10-year term, as then extended, Lessor shall have the right to
terminate the lease and not be subject to the penalty provisions entitled
"Penalty for Termination of the Lease" herein and Lessor shall not be required
to repair, alter or restore the leased premises if substantially damaged or
destroyed during the last three years of the initial ten-year term or any option
period (if an option has been exercised), unless, within 60 days after said
occurrence, Lessee exercises an additional five-year option to extend the term
of the lease pursuant to the option clause herein; if the leased premises are
-10-
substantially damaged or destroyed during the last option period, Lessor shall
have the right to terminate the lease without being subject to the penalty
clause entitled "Penalty for Termination of the Lease" herein and Lessor shall
not be required to restore or rebuild the premises. Should Lessor exercise its
option to terminate the lease, Lessee may make claim for damage to fixtures and
improvements owned by Lessee, provided said amount shall not exceed the amount
set forth in the penalty clause entitled "Penalty for Termination" set forth
herein.
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for Lessee's pro rata share of
the insurance premiums paid by Lessor to insure the leased premises. Lessee's
pro rata share of the insurance premium shall be 16.425% for each floor leased,
of the premiums paid by Lessor to insure the entire building and insurance
premiums directly attributable to the Southeastern Entrance Area, provided that
any increase in insurance premiums over the insurance premiums now payable on
the Decatur Building resulting from increased rates due to a change in the use
of the space in the Decatur Building which is not occupied by Lessee shall be
for Lessor's account.
13. Options to Extend Term
----------------------
Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the right, at Lessee's option, to extend the
term of this lease of the premises for three separate and additional periods of
five years each after the expiration of the term hereof, each of said periods of
the same terms and conditions. These options shall be exercised by written
notice given to Lessor or delivered or mailed to Lessor, at the address at which
the rent is then payable, at least one year before the expiration of the
original term hereof, or, in the event Lessee has previously exercised one
option herein given, such notice shall be given at least one year before the
expiration of the original term hereof, or, in the event Lessee has previously
exercised one option herein given, such notice shall be given at least one year
before the expiration of the option term then in effect. The parties hereto
agree that a new lease need not be executed upon the exercise of any of these
options, but that this lease will remain in full force and effect, changed only
as to the matters specified in this paragraph; provided, however, that the
annual rental for each of the option periods shall be determined as follows:
(a) The annual rental during the first option period shall be $49,680,
payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $4,140 in advance on or before
the first day of each and every month during said option.
-11-
(b) The annual rental during the second option period shall be
$57,132, payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $4,761 in advance
on or before the first day of each and every month during said option.

$65,702, payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $5,475 in advance
on or before the first day of each and every month during said option.
(d) Any extension of the lease term for the leased premises shall
automatically extend the lease on the M & A Building pursuant to
paragraph 21 herein and the second floor, if the option for the second
floor has been exercised.
14. Decatur Second Floor Option
---------------------------
Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the right, at Lessee's option, at any
time during the initial ten-year term of this lease, to lease the entire
second floor of the Decatur Building (this being the building in which
"the premises" hereinbefore defined and identified, are located), herein-
after called "second floor." Lessee has the right to lease under the
following conditions:
(a) Lessee may lease said second floor for an initial term, with
three additional options for five years each. The length of the
initial term shall be such that it shall terminate on the same date as
the initial ten-year term of "the premises," hereinbefore defined as
the entire fourth (4th) and entire third (3rd) floors of the Decatur
Building. The annual rental for the second floor during the initial
term shall be $24,840, payable in twelve equal monthly installments of
$2,070 on or before the first day of each and every month during said
initial term.
Lessee may notify Lessor by written notice of Lessee's intent to
lease said second floor at any time following the expiration of 42
months following the commencement date of this lease. The commencement
date of Lessee's initial term of occupancy of said second floor shall
be 18 months following Lessee's notification of Lessor of Lessee's
intent to lease.
It is understood Lessor may, at Lessor's option, lease said
second floor to others during Lessee's initial ten-year lease term in
the premises, but all such leases entered into by Lessor shall
specifically refer to and be subject to Lessee's rights as set forth
in this paragraph 14, "Decatur Second Floor Option." Should it be
necessary for Lessor to pay to such other tenant a
-12-
"penalty fee" for said other tenant's vacating said second floor upon notice by
Lessor to permit occupancy by Lessee, Lessee shall share one-half the cost of
said penalty fee. In no event shall Lessee's share of said penalty fee exceed
$7,500. Lessor shall furnish Lessee sufficient documentary evidence to
substantiate any claims made by Lessor of Lessee under the terms of this
paragraph.
(b) If Lessee elects to exercise its right to extend the term of its
lease pursuant to Paragraph 13 of this Lease Agreement for the first additional
five-year period, the annual rental for the second floor during the first
additional five-year option period shall be $28,566, payable in 12 equal monthly
installments of $2,380.50 on or before the first day of each and every month
during said first additional five-year option period.
(c) If Lessee has exercised its right to extend for the first additional
five-year option period and elects to exercise its right to extend the term of
its lease pursuant to Paragraph 13 of the Lease Agreement for the second
additional five-year option period, the annual rental for the second floor
during the second additional five-year option period shall be $32,850.90,
payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $2,737.55, on or before the first
day of each and every month during said second additional five-year option
period.
(d) If Lessee has exercised its right to extend for the first and
additional five-year option periods and elects to exercise its right to extend
the term of its lease for the third additional five-year option period, the
annual rental for the second floor during the third additional five-year option
period shall be $37,777, payable in 12 equal monthly installments of $3,148, on
or before the first day of each and every month during said third additional
five-year option period.
-13-
15. Condemnation
------------
In the event that any person or corporation, municipal, public, private or
otherwise, shall at any time during the original term or any renewal option term
hereof, condemn and acquire title to the leased promises or any substantial
portion thereof or to any easement therein, in or by any condemnation
proceedings pursuant to any law, general, specific or otherwise, and said
condemnation renders the leased premises unsuitable for Lessee's business
operation, Lessee may, at its option, give notice of its intention to cancel
this lease, effective not later than 30 days after such condemnation deprives
lessee of possession of the Leased premises, or any portion thereof, or to any
easemant therin, provided such notice of intention to cancel shall be given by
Lessee to Lessor not later than 45 days after the service of summons and
complaint on the Lessee in said condemnation action, or 15 days prior to the
trial for assessment of damages, whichever first occurs. In the event lessee
elects to cancel this lease as aforesaid, the award or payment made in respect
of the condemnation proceeding shall be distributed to the Lessor and lessee as
follows:
(a) A sum necessary to pay off and satisfy fifty
percent of the unamortized cost of the Improvement to
the leased premises, the second floor of the Decatur
Building, and the Southeastern Entrance Area. The cost
schedule for each of these improvements is set forth in
Paragraph 23. Penalty for Termination.
-----------------------
(B) The balance of the award or payment after the
obligation referred to in "a" above has been paid, shall
be paid to Lessor.
In the event that a portion of the leased premises is condemned at any time
during the original term or any renewal option term thereof, but said taking
does not affect or take a substantial portion of the leased premises or the
second floor and this lease is not cancelled as herein provided, then the entire
award shall be paid to Lessor, and the Lessor shall, as soon as possible
thereafter, restore the leased premises to a condition which is substantially
similar and of at least the quality of the leased premises prior to the
condemnation.
16. Second Floor Improvement by Lessor
----------------------------------
It is understood Lessor may cause certain improvements to be made to the
second floor prior to lessee's occupancy of said second floor pursuant to
Lessee's options to lease herein. To the extent that said improvements can be
reasonably utilized by Lessee, should Lessee exercise its right to lease, the
cost of said improvements shall be amortized at the rate of five percent per
annum for each year that Lessee occupies the second
-14-
floor pursuant to Lessee's option to lease. The amortized portion of the cost of
improvements reasonably utilized by Lessee shall be deducted from the $405,000
limit covered in paragraph 23., "Penalty for Termination." The cost of
improvements shall consist of any direct costs or pro rata share costs
applicable to the utility or mechanical improvements of the second floor,
including those monies expended for heating, ventilating and air conditioning;
electrical vault, primary and secondary electrical, lighting fixtures conduit
and outlets.
17. Coordination of Improvements
----------------------------
The parties hereto agree to cooperate in the planning and coordination of
the design and implementation of the improvements of said second floor to effect
the greatest efficiency and least loss and waste of improvements caused to be
made by Lessor, should Lessee elect to exercise its right to lease herein. Said
coordination will involve planning and cooperation by the parties hereto and any
agents, architects, engineers, contractors and consultants employed by the
parties, and will include written notification given to Lessor by Lessee,
identifying those items of improvements which can be utilized by Lessee, should
Lessee elect to exercise its rights to Lease hereunder.
Pursuant to the terms of this paragraph and the previous paragraph 16, the
rent payable by Lessee shall be increased over that amount stated in paragraph
14 (a) herein by an amount equal to one percent per month, of that amount spent
by Lessor on those improvements to said second floor which will be utilized by
Lessee, as defined above, during Lessee's occupancy of said second floor. Lessor
will furnish to Lessee an itemization of the costs of improvements made by
Lessor within said second floor within six months following the completion of
said improvements.
18. Improvements by Lessor
----------------------
Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, be responsible to cause certain
improvements to be completed prior to commencement of the term of this lease, it
being understood Lesee's access to and quiet enjoyment of the premises shall not
be impaired. Said improvements by Lessor are as follows:
(a) Roof: Roof shall be rebuilt or repaired to a
condition to insure protection and dry conditions, it
being the responsibility of Lessor to maintain the
roof during Lessee's tenancy.
(b) Exterior building cleanup: The eastern
exterior wall of the Decatur Building shall be
cleaned by a contractor of Lessor's choice by that
method; steam, chemical, detergent, sand or glass
blasting, or other, at Lessor's option, it being
the responsibility of Lessor to maintain the building
exterior, not including window replacement and window
cleaning, during Lessee's tenancy.
-15-
(c) Stairs, ingress, egress, etc: It shall be the responsibility of Lessor
to insure that all applicable fire, building or other municipal codes and
requirements are met regarding stairways, elevators, access and all ingress to
and egress from the Decatur Building.
(d) Water and sewer service: Water service and sewer service in capacities
sufficient to satisfy Lessee's reasonable and ordinary needs and to meet all
applicable codes and requirements shall be provided to the premises and to the
second floor (second floor services will be supplied when Lessee occupies that
space) by the Lessor. It is understood that the service charge assessed by the
utility supplying water and all other utilities consumed by Lessee during
Lessee's occupancy of the premises and the second floor shall be borne by
Lessee.
(e) Elevators: In the event Lessor shall cause the present passenger
elevator in the Decatur Building to be made operable, meeting all the
applicable codes and requirements, the passenger elevator shall be equipped with
security devices which under Lessee's control can prohibit access or restrict
access to the floors occupied by Lessee for such periods of time or days of the
week that Lessee shall cause the elevators to be shut off or restrict service to
the floors occupied by Lessee. There is presently one freight elevator in the
Decatur Building. Said freight elevator in the Decatur Building will be made
operable, meeting all applicable codes and requirements. The freight elevator
and the passenger elevator or elevators will be made available for the general
non-exclusive use of Lessee between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Mondays through
Fridays, or more, at Lessor's option, throughout Lessee's occupancy in the
Decatur Building. Provided, however, Lessee shall, subject to reasonable
security measures agreed upon by the parties, have the right to use the areas
designated by Lessor for the entrance, elevator systems and common areas of the
Decatur Building at all times Lessee so desires.
(f) Electrical vault: Lessor will cause to be constructed an electrical
vault adequately sized to contain the electrical transformers necessary to
serve the reasonably expected needs of the Decatur Building. Lessee will pay to
Lessor its pro rata share of the cost of said electrical vault, and the cost of
bringing (primary) power from said electrical vault to Lessee's electrical panel
within Lessee's premises. Lessee's architect and/or engineer will be consulted
by Lessor or Lessor's agent, architect, engineer or contractor and Lessor will
cause the design and construction of said electrical vault to be adequate to
serve Lessee's electrical needs. Location, design and type of construction of
said electrical
-16-
vault shall be determined by Lessor, subject to Lessee's reasonable
approval as the same affects the fourth, third and second floors. Lessee's
pro rata share of the costs referred to in this paragraph shall not exceed
$5,000 per floor, payable as to the fourth and third floors within 10 days
after completion thereof, and receipt by Lessee of an itemized statement of
Lessor's actual costs, and payable as to the second floor when Lessee
elects to exercise its option to lease the second floor.
19. Southeastern Entrance and Elevators.
-----------------------------------
(a) Lessor shall, prior to the commencement of the term of this
lease, cause to be constructed in the southeastern corner of the Decatur
Building, at a location on the first floor of the building which is
mutually acceptable to each party, a common entry, lobby and two-car
elevator system, hereinafter called the "Southeastern Entrance Area." The
Southeastern Entrance Area shall be for the non-exclusive use of Lessee and
shall provide for the ingress and egress of Lessee, its employees, agents
and invitees. The Southeastern Entrance Area shall be available for
Lessee's non-exclusive use at all times. Each of the elevators shall be
equipped with a security device which, under Lessee's control, can prohibit
access or restrict access to the leased premises for such periods of time
or days of the week that Lessee shall elect. Notwithstanding anything in
this lease to the contrary, in no event shall the term of this lease
commence until the Southeastern Entrance Area is completed in accordance
with the plans and specifications approved by the parties, provided,
however, in the event the improvements to the Southeastern Entrance Area
are not completed on the date the term is scheduled to commence in
accordance with paragraph 2, Term and said delay is due to the Lessee's
----
negligence, willful misconduct, to changes made to the approved plans and
specifications submitted by Lessee's architect, or in the event the Lessee
elects to have the contract for construction of the improvements to the
Southeastern Entrance Area awarded on a sealed bid basis in accordance with
Paragraph 19(g) hereof, and said election causes a delay in the completion
of the improvements, then the term shall commence on the date the
Southeastern Entrance Area is completed less the number of days which
Lessee's negligence, willful misconduct, change orders required by Lessee
and/or election to have the contract awarded on a sealed bid basis extended
the completion date for the construction of the improvements to the
Southeastern Entrance Area.
(b) The Southeastern Entrance Area shall contain no more than one and
one-half bays, the exact location, and dimensions of the Southeastern
Entrance Area shall be set forth in the plans and specifications approved
by the parties. A description of the Southeastern Entrance Area shall be
made a part of the Memorandum of Lease to be recorded pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(c) The construction of the Southeastern Entrance Area shall be
completed in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by an
architect retained by the Lessee. Said plans and specifications are subject
to the approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Lessee shall, within 60
-17-
days following the execution of this Lease Agreement, submit plans and
specifications to Lessor for its approval. Lessor shall approve or
disapprove the plans and specifications submitted within 15 days after
receipt from Lessee. If Lessor neither approves nor disapproves the
submitted plans in writing within said 15-day period, then the plans and
specifications submitted shall be conclusively presumed to be approved. In
the event Lessor disapproves the plans and specifications submitted, the
parties shall attempt to resolve the conflict which exists over the plans
and specifications. If the parties cannot agree upon plans and
specifications for construction of the Southeastern Entrance Area within 90
days following the original notice of disapproval by Lessor, then Lessee
may, at its option, terminate this lease.
(d) The original expense of having plans and specifications for the
construction of the Southeastern Entrance Area prepared shall be paid by
Lessee. The expense shall be included in the definition of construction
cost. The dollar amount paid by Lessee directly to its architect shall be
credited against the Lessee's share of the construction costs for the
Southeastern Entrance Area.
(e) The parties estimate that the cost of construction of the
Southeastern Entrance Area shall be $255,000. In the event the construction
costs are $255,000, Lessee will reimburse Lessor for $70,000 of the
construction costs. Said reimbursement payments shall be made by Lessee to
Lessor according to the progress payments set forth in the construction
contract for the Southeastern Entrance Area. Lessee shall, at the times
prescribed in the construction contract, pay to Lessor its pro rata share
of the progress payment or the final payment. In the event the construction
costs exceed $255,000, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor $70,000, plus the
amount by which the construction costs exceed $255,000. In the event
construction costs are less than $255,000, the cost saving shall be shared
by the parties hereto on a pro rata basis with Lessee receiving 70/255 of
the cost savings and the Lessor receiving 185/255 of the cost saving.
(f) As used herein, the term construction costs shall mean and
include all costs of constructing the improvements to the Southeastern
Entrance Area in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted by
Lessee's architect and approved by Lessor, including architect and
engineering fees, Washington State sales tax, costs of permits and reports
required by governmental authorities and payment and/or performance bonds
required by Lessee, but excluding administrative expenses, financing
charges and other miscellaneous expenses not directly associated with the
construction of improvements.
(g) At Lessee's option, the contract for construction of the
Southeastern Entrance Area shall be awarded on a sealed-bid basis from a
list of bidders which has been approved by Lessee in writing.
-18-
(h) In the event that neither Lessee nor Lessor is able to
obtain a negotiated contract or a bid contract for a total
construction cost of $255,000 or less, then Lessee at its option
may cause its architect to amend the plans and specifications for
the construction of improvements to the Southeastern Entrance
Area and elevator system. The improvements to be constructed by
Lessor shall then be made in accordance with the amended plans
and specifications.
(i) Lessor shall, promptly after completion of the
Southeastern Entrance Area, furnish to Lessee an itemized summary
of the construction costs, and such costs shall be subject to
audit by Lessee's authorized representatives, provided, the audit
must be commenced within 60 days after receipt of the final
itemized summary. Said audit is to be completed with due
diligence. Lessee and/or Lessor shall remit any difference found
to be owing within 15 days, if the audit proves there has been a
mistake as to the sum owed by each party.
(j) The parties each acknowledge that at some date in the
future Lessor may, at its option, and at its expense, expand the
Southeastern Entrance Area by providing elevator service to the
basement floor of the Decatur Building. In the event that the
Lessor does expand the Southeastern Entrance Area by providing
elevator service to the basement floor, the then existing
elevator system, the pro rata share of Lessee and Lessor for
taxes, repair, maintenance and cleaning expenses shall be
adjusted and the following formula shall determine the pro rata
share of Lessor and Lessee.
The total amount of taxes, repair, maintenance and
cleaning expense attributable to the Southeastern Entrance Area
shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
square footage of floor area of the Decatur Building leased to
the Lessee and the denominator of which is the total square
footage of the basement, second floor, third floor and fourth
floor of the Decatur Building. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor an
amount equal to the product of the multiplication; the balance
shall be for Lessor's account.
(k) In the event Lessor does elect to expand the
Southeastern Entrance Area, Lessor shall complete said expansion
as quickly, quietly and neatly as possible. At all times during
the expansion of the Southeastern Entrance Area, the entrance is
to be open and usable and at least one elevator is to be in
service at all times.
20. Pro Rata Share
--------------
Within ten days following the date Lessor has delivered or mailed to Lessee
an itemized statement for taxes or insurance which have accrued from the date of
this lease to the date the term commences on the Decatur Building and land,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to its pro rata share of the real
estate taxes, assessments and all charges for fire and extended coverage
insurance levied against or applicable thereto.
-10-
21. M & A Building Lease to Continue
--------------------------------
It is understood there is presently in effect between Lessee and Lessor
(then known as Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Inc., a Washington corporation) that certain
lease dated December 1, 1966, and later amended by first lease amendment dated
February 20, 1969, and by second lease amendment dated January 3, 1973, for the
tenancy by Lessee of that certain real property situated in Seattle, King
County, State of Washington, described as follows: Lots 10 and 11 in Block 18,
X.X. Xxxxx'x Addition to the City of Seattle, being located at the northwest
corner of Sixth Avenue and Pike Street, Seattle, together with the appurtenances
thereto belonging and the building situated thereon adjacent to the Decatur
Building and known as the M & A Building.
Said lease, as amended, shall continue in full force and effect and may be
extended beyond the second option term referred to in paragraph 3, as amended.
Said extension shall be automatic with extensions to the premises and the second
floor hereunder and shall be concurrent with said extensions as to term and
notice requirement. Upon the expiration of the present M & A Building lease and
extensions, fixed minimum annual rent on said building shall be the same amount
as that amount then being paid. In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
percentage rental as called for in paragraph 3 (b) in that original lease dated
December 1, 1966, between the parties hereto.
In the event Lessee does not operate a retail facility in the M & A
Building on the entire first floor in the area presently used for retail sales,
and the percentage rental clause referred to above is therefore not applicable,
annual rental of the M & A Building, at the expiration of the second option
term, shall be escalated as called for in paragraph 2 of the first lease
amendment, with figures adjusted to reflect the then applicable amounts and
dates.
22. Common Area Maintenance
-----------------------
Lessor shall be responsible for the control, management and
maintenance of the common areas in and about the Decatur Building, pursuant to
Lessee's right of access, ingress and egress stated herein. Lessor shall keep
common areas, including, but not limited to, the Southeastern Entrance Area and
the elevators therein, sidewalks and the access area from the outside entrance
to the passenger elevator, driveways, lighting, landscaping, stairs, directional
signs, the passenger elevator and the freight elevator, loading areas, the
building exterior,
-20-
in good repair and in a state of reasonable cleanliness, adequately maintained,
drained, lighted, policed and otherwise regulated. Lessee shall share in the
cost, monthly, of said control, management and maintenance on a pro rata basis.
Lessor shall furnish to Lessee each month an itemized statement of all costs
incurred in said control, management and maintenance, provided, however, that
there shall be excluded capital expenses, as the term capital expense is used by
Lessee in determining its United States income taxes. Lessor shall maintain
accurate books of record relating to said costs which may be examined at
reasonable times during normal business hours by Lessee. Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for the maintenance expanse and cleaning expense necessary to keep the
Southeastern Entrance Area in good order and a neat, clean condition; provided,
however, in the event a portion of the second floor of the Decatur Building is
occupied by a third party, Lessor or its agents who use (as defined in paragraph
d) the Southeastern Entrance Area, then the maintenance expense and cleaning
expense attributable to the Southeastern Entrance Area shall be prorated between
Lessor and Lessee according to the formula set forth in Paragraph 4 hereof for
the proration of taxes.
21. Penalty for Termination
-----------------------
Lessor shall have the right to terminate this lease or any extension
thereof at any time by giving Lessee written notification of its intent to do
so, and allowing Lessee 24 months to vacate the premises. The right to terminate
this lease contained in this paragraph 23 shall be conditioned upon Lessor's
irrevocable commitment to demolish and/or raze the Decatur Building within 120
days from the date Lessee is required to vacate the premises, provided, however,
that said date shall be extended for a period equal to the period of any delay
encountered by Lessor because of force majeure, including inclement weather or
other acts of God, riot, insurrection, government regulations or strikes
affecting Lessor's work or shortages of labor resulting from government controls
or diversions or any other cause beyond the control of Lessor. Should Lessor
exercise its right hereunder, it shall pay to Lessee a penalty of $500,000, plus
an amount to be determined according to the following formula: the dollar amount
which Lessee has expended on improvements to the Southeastern Entrance Area and
the second, third and fourth floors shall be amortized from the commencement
date of the term of this lease at the rate of five percent per annum. In
addition to the $500,000 penalty provided for herein, Lessor shall pay to Lessee
on the date provided for in this paragraph, an amount equal to the unamortized
portion of the amount Lessee has expended on the improvements to the second,
third and fourth floors and the Lessee's share of the construction costs for the
Southeastern Entrance Area. For purposes of this paragraph, the limit of
additional penalty to which Lessor is exposed in terms of unamortized cost of
improvements shall be as follows:
-21-
(a) Southeastern Entrance Area (Lessee's share of the construction costs for the
Southeastern Entrance Area)
(b) Second Floor 405,000.00
(c) Third Floor 405,000.00
(e) Fourth Floor 430,000.00
The total penalty payment is to be made by Lessor to Lessee on or before 12
months after notice of termination is given to Lessee by Lessor. If
pursuant to this paragraph Lessee is required to vacate the premises during
or after the eighth year of the initial term of this lease, the total
penalty shall be reduced $50,000, if Lessee is required to vacate the
leased premises during the ninth year or thereafter during the lease term
as extended, the penalty shall be reduced by $100,000. Provided, however,
if Lessee exercises the option to lease the second floor of the Decatur
Building, and does use improvements made by Lessor to the second floor
pursuant to paragraph 16 and 17 of the Lease Agreement, then the total
dollar amount of the penalty which otherwise would have been assessed shall
be reduced by an amount equal to the unamortized costs of improvements to
the second floor of the Decatur Building made by Lessor and actually used
by Lessee. Said improvements shall be amortized at the rate of 5% per annum
for each year Lessee leases the second floor of the Decatur Building. The
provisions of this paragraph do not apply if Lessor demolishes the Decatur
Building after this lease, as extended, has expired. This paragraph has no
effect on any similar provision now in effect between Lessee and Lessor in
that lease between Lessee and Lessor on that building known as the M & A
Building at the northwest corner of Sixth Avenue and Pike Street in
Seattle, Washington.
24. Notices
-------
Any notice provided for herein shall be given by registered United
States mail, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Lessor, to the person to

accruing thereafter under this lease.
-22-
?????? reserves the right to enter upon ??? leased premises during business
hours at any reasonable time to inspect the same or for purposes of exhibiting
the same to persons wishing to purchase the same. Lessor also reserves the
right, at any time within two years next preceding the expiration of the term

by Lessee's exercise of the option privileges contained in paragraph 13 hereof,
to place notices on the front of the leased premises offering said leased
premises "to let" or both "to let" and "for sale" signs or notices otherwise
advertising the building as available, and all of said notices may contain such
matter as Lessor may require, and such notice or notices shall not be removed by
Lessee or Lessee's agent or employees. Such notices, however, shall not be
placed upon the doors or windows of the building improvements. All signs to let
or for sale shall be reasonable in size, character and location so that the
signs do not detract from the appearance of the building or the Lessee's
business.
28. Compliance with Laws
--------------------
Lessee agrees throughout the original term of this lease or any renewal
thereof to comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and
requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction of the leased
premises. Lessee may contest the validity of any such laws, ordinances, orders,
rules, regulations and requirements but shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless
against the consequences of any violation thereby by Lessee.
29. Estoppel Statements
-------------------
Upon the written request of either party, to this lease, and provided that
the other party can do so truthfully, the other party shall promptly certify in

its knowledge:

and is not in default under this lease or if in default what the defaults
consist of;
(b) The lease, with amendments listed, is in full force and
effect; and
(c) The person receiving such certification may rely thereon for
all purposes.
Each party shall hold the other harmless from and against all losses,
costs, damages and causes of action arising out of or from any inaccuracies or
misrepresentations in such certifications.
30. Lessor's Remedies
-----------------
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor or to Lessee is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein
-23-
or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute.
31. Covenants Binding on Successors
-------------------------------
The covenants and agreements of this lease shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of both of the parties hereto.
32. Paragraph Headings
------------------
The paragraph headings herein contained are inserted only as a matter of
convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope
or intent of this lease, nor in any way affect the terms and provisions hereof.
33. Attorneys' Fees
---------------

shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees from the other party.

Lessor and Lessee or their successors in interest.
36. Severability

provision of this lease agreement.
37. Use of Premises
---------------
Lessee shall use and occupy the leased premises as an office building and
storage and for no other purpose.
38. Non-Waiver
----------
The failure of Lessor to insist upon strict performances of any of the
covenants and agreements of the lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such
covenant or condition in any other instance.
39. Consents
--------
The prior consent or approval of Lessor or Lessee where required herein
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
-24-
40. Waiver of Subrogation
---------------------
Lessor shall cause each insurance policy carried by Lessor insuring the
demised premises against loss by fire and causes covered by standard extended
coverage, and Lessee shall cause each insurance policy carried by Lessee, if
any, and insuring the demised premises and/or its fixtures and contents against
loss by fire and causes covered by standard extended coverage, to be written in
a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against Lessor or Lessee in connection with any
loss or damage covered by any such policies, regardless of any provision in this
lease to the contrary. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss
or damage caused by fire or any of the other risks enumerated in standard
extended coverage insurance endorsement approved for use in the State of
Washington, provided such insurance was obtainable at the time of such loss or
damage. However, if such insurance policies cannot be obtained, or are
obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that
charged by companies carrying such insurance without such waiver of subrogation,
the party undertaking to carry such insurance shall notify the other party of
such fact and such other party shall have a period of ten days after the giving
of such notice either to (a) place such insurance in companies which are
reasonably satisfactory to the other party and will carry such insurance with
waiver of such subrogation, or (b) agree to pay such additional premium if such
policy is obtainable at additional cost (in the case of Lessee, pro rata in
proportion of Lessee's space covered by such insurance to the square feet of
floor space covered by such insurance); and if neither (a) nor (b) is done, this
paragraph shall be null and void for so long as either such insurance cannot be
obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired shall
refuse to pay the additional premium charge. If the release of either Lessor or
Lessee, as set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph, shall contravene
any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in
question shall be deemed not released but shall be deemed secondary to the
letter's insurer.
41. Subordination
-------------
This lease shall be subject and subordinate to any institutional first
mortgage or deed of trust placed by Lessor upon the leased premises or any
property of which the leased premises is a part, provided that any such mortgage
or deed of trust holder shall execute an agreement containing provisions which
provide that Lessee's rights under this lease shall not be affected by the
mortgage or deed of trust holder provided Lessee continues to pay rent as in
this lease set out, and otherwise complies with the terms and provisions
contained therein.
-25-
Each and all of the covenants, terms, agreements and obligations of this
lease shall extend to and bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, the
personal representatives, the successors and/or assigns of the parties hereto;
that herein the singular number includes the plural, and the masculine gender
includes the feminine and the neuter.

LEASE AGREEMENT
(NUMBER 3)
(DECATUR BUILDING)
THIS LEASE AMENDMENT dated this __________ day of _______, 1982, is between
LCF ASSOCIATES, a Washington limited partnership ("LCF"), and PAY'N SAVE
CORPORATION, a Washington corporation ("Pay'n Save").
LCF is the Lessor and Pay'n Save is the Lessee under the lease (the
"Decatur Lease") dated June 15, 1976, and amendments dated April 20, 1981, and
January 29, 1982, pertaining to portions of certain real property located in
Seattle, Washington, and commonly known as the Decatur Building.
LCF desires to enter the basement of the Decatur Building for purposes of
repairing and stabilizing the "footings" of the Decatur Building in connection
with construction of a new building on the land formerly occupied by the M & A
Building.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein
and in consideration of Pay'n Save permitting the contractor designated by
Lessor to enter a portion of the basement of the Decatur Building, LCF and Pay'n
Save agree as follows:
1. During the course of constructing its improvements to the Decatur
Building, Lessee installed a new sump system complete with pumps and electrical
control panels as well as modifications to the water system, hereafter "new
sewer facilities." Lessor will inspect the new sewer facilities during the next
30 days. Within 30 days from the date hereof, Lessor in its sole discretion
shall accept or reject the new sewer system in writing and shall inform Lessee
of its acceptance or rejection and if rejected its reasons therefor. The
Lessor's failure to accept or reject the new system within the 30-day period,
shall constitute acceptance. If Lessor rejects the new sewer facilities, Lessee
will bypass the new sewer facilities by replacing the sewer lines with new lines
of the same size as the old lines and in approximately the same places they were
before Lessee constructed the new sewer facilities. Lessor will be permitted to
examine the restoration work as it progresses. The restoration work shall be
completed within 120 days after the date hereof. When the restoration has been
completed and written notice thereof given to Lessor, Lessee shall have no
further responsibility for the sewer and water system supplying the Decatur
Building, except as may be provided in the Lease, and Lessor shall thereafter
continue to have responsibility for the sewer and water system in the manner
provided in the lease. Lessee shall not be required to make any changes in the
present rainwater drain system of the building.
In the event Lessor accepts in writing the new sewer facilities,
Lessee shall by Xxxx of Sale transfer title to those facilities to Lessor and
upon delivery of the Xxxx of Sale Lessor shall have full responsibility for the
sewer and water systems as provided in the Lease, and Lessee shall have no
further responsibility for the sewer and water systems, except as provided for
in the Lease. Lessor shall, in accordance with the Lease, have access in and to
sewer, water and drainage systems and shall be free to make any and all changes
or alterations in said systems which it deems necessary to meet Lessor's
obligations under the Lease to supply sewer and water services to the leased
premises.
2. The freight elevator serving the Decatur Building shall continue to be
available for the joint use of Lessee and any persons or entities leasing all or
a portion of the space currently occupied by the Dynasty, French Invention, Tux
Shop, Scandia Down and Alderwood Vision but Lessee shall have the exclusive
right to control the use of the freight elevator provided Lessee agrees to
provide, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, such personnel as Lessee elects to
provide to handle the elevator at all times required herein and to make the
freight elevator and personnel available for all other tenants at reasonable
times to meet the reasonable needs of the said other occupants of the Decatur
Building during Lessee's business hours and upon notice given no later than
10:00 A.M. on the preceding Friday the elevator shall be made available on
Saturdays, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the leases for the
tenants involved. After execution hereof Lessee shall be liable and responsible
for the repair and maintenance of the freight elevator, but the same shall be
treated as a common area cost and Lessor will reimburse Lessee for costs in
excess of Lessee's pro rata share.
Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all
liabilities, like obligations, losses, claims, damages, civil action, costs or
expense resulting from any personal injury or death to any person or any loss of
or damage to property occurring or alleged to have occurred within or about the
leased premises occurring as a result of the Lessee's use, control, repair or
maintenance of the freight elevator and loading dock areas as a result of any
negligent act or omission of Lessee or any officer, agent, or employee of Lessee
or its operating subsidiaries when acting within the scope of his or her
authority or guest, invitee, customer, or visitor of Lessee, or its operating
subsidiaries arising from the use and occupancy
-2-
or condition of the leased premises and all costs and expenses and liabilities,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection
therewith but the foregoing provisions shall not be construed to make Lessee
responsible for injuries to third parties caused by negligence or other acts of
Lessor or any officer, agent, employee, guest, invitee, tenant or visitor of
Lessor.
3. That portion of the loading dock and storage area noted in red on
Exhibit A attached hereto and which is now occupied exclusively by Lessee, shall
remain in the exclusive occupancy of Lessee for the balance of the term of the
Lease, as extended, and Lessee shall waive its rights of joint occupancy of that
part of the loading dock south of the designated area, provided Lessee shall
insure that all tenants and occupants in the Decatur Building who have the right
to use the freight elevator shall have the right of access for ingress-egress
purposes over and across the freight elevator and loading dock area for loading
and unloading material. After execution hereof, Lessee shall be liable and
responsible for the repair and maintenance of the area described in Exhibit A as
a part of its leased premises.
4. LCF desires to enter the basement of the Decatur Building for purposes
of repairing and stabilizing the footings of the Decatur Building and
installation and preparation, if necessary, of the footings for construction of
the new building on the land formerly occupied by the M & A Building, which
entry and work, including removal of debris and all activities in connection
with Lessor's entry, is referred to hereafter as the "footing work." The
description of the work to be performed by Lessor, including the measures to be
taken to minimize damage to the leased premises and its contents, the lease
space to be occupied including, access areas to be used by Lessor to perform the
services described herein, and the time schedule setting forth when the work is
to commence and be terminated together with the hours to be worked are set out
on Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.
In connection with the footing work:
A. Lessor agrees to accomplish the footing work in the manner and
times set out in Exhibit B attached hereto and agrees to reimburse Lessee for
any damage to the leased premises, Lessee's property, Lessee's leasehold
improvements and any other property in the Decatur Building for which Lessee has
repair responsibility.
-3-
B. Upon completion of the restoration work, Lessor will immediately
restore the leased premises, including Lessee's improvements, to the same
condition they were in prior to Lessor's entry on the premises to accomplish the
footing work.
X. Xxxxxx will reimburse Lessee for all costs, losses and damages,
including increased maintenance and servicing expenses and repairs to equipment
proximately caused by the footing work.
X. Xxxxxx will conduct all of the footing work in such a manner as
to minimize as much as reasonably possible inconvenience to Lessee, its
employees and invitees.
E. All debris and other materials from or related to the footing
work will be removed from the leased premises, including the elevators and
loading dock areas but excluding the enclosed areas occupied by Lessor, before
6:30 a.m. each morning.
X. Xxxxxx agrees that during the period that Lessor is occupying a
portion of the lease space Lessee may provide security to protect Lessee's
premises. It is understood and agreed that the security to be provided by Lessee
will be a regular security service used by Lessee at its other locations. Lessor
shall reimburse Lessee for the additional costs incurred from use of the
security service. In addition, Lessor will reimburse Lessee for Lessee's costs
of moving and replacing Lessee's desks, files and other property which is
necessitated by Lessor's foundation work, not to exceed $1,500.00.
X. Xxxxxx shall indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against
all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, civil actions, costs or
expenses resulting from any personal injury or death to any person or any loss
of or damage of property occurring or alleged to have occurred within or about
the Decatur Building as a result of the footing work and regardless of whether
or not it is a result of any negligent act or omission of Lessor or anyone
else. This indemnity and hold harmless includes the activities of Lessor and
anyone working through or under Lessor or any contractor or subcontractor of
either Lessor or anyone working through or under Lessor in connection with the
building arising out of any work described in this paragraph 4 herein, and all
costs, expenses and liabilities, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney fees incurred in connection herewith, but the foregoing provision shall
not be construed to make Lessor responsible for injuries to third parties caused
by the negligence or other act of
-4-
Lessee or its operating subsidiaries or any officer, agent, employee, guest,
invitee, customer or visitor of Lessee or its operating subsidiaries.
X. Xxxxxx shall pay Lessee the sum of $4,000.00 for the right of
entry given by Lessee to Lessor under this paragraph.
I. If by reason of any default or breach under this paragraph 4 by
Lessor or by Lessee, it becomes necessary to institute suit, or in the event the
Lessor or Lessee shall commence any action to interpret or enforce the terms of
this paragraph 4, the prevailing party in such suit or action shall be entitled
to recover, as part of any judgment, such amount as the court shall determine
reasonable as attorney's fees for the prevailing party in such suit, together
with taxable costs.
5. It is understood that with respect to the new building on the M & A
Building site Lessor through designated representatives will engage in
construction activities which may inconvenience Lessee and may request short-
term access in and to the leased premises for purposes relative to construction
of the new building. Such work may include, but is not limited to, the
installation of an oil separator in the sewer line and work on the third (3rd)
and forth (4th) floors for stabilizing the parking structure on the roof and
possible relocation of the central elevator machinery and in addition possible
duct work.
Lessor agrees to give Lessee reasonable notice in writing (addressed
to the attention of X. Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx) or any requested interruption
by Lessee's use of the leased premises or any requested short term intrusion on
the leased premises by Lessor, which notice shall include the same type of
information as set forth on Exhibit B above and will be relative to the

and quality of Subtenant's Work. The Working Plans shall be consistent with the
Preliminary Plans. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Working
Plans, Sublandlord shall either approve the Subtenant's Working Plans or deliver
to Subtenant its specific objections to the Working Plans together with its
proposed solution to each objection. Sublandlord's approval of the Working
Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be

Preliminary Plans and provide for improvements of substantially the same quality
and type as those constructed in Subtenant's prototypical locations.
3. If Subtenant and Sublandlord are unable to resolve Sublandlord's
and Prime Landlord's objections to the Working Plans or the Final Plans
(including, but not limited to, Subtenant's requirements for (i) its HVAC
systems and equipment and (ii) its generator for its electrical systems, as
reasonably required for Subtenant to conduct its business in the Demised
Premises) within thirty (30) days after Subtenant has received notice of the
objections (with both parties agreeing to attempt to resolve such differences in
good faith), Sublandlord or Subtenant shall have the right, within thirty (30)
days thereafter, to terminate this Sublease immediately by giving notice of such
termination to the other.

G-1
B. Standard.
--------
Subtenant, using its contractor or contractors, shall construct
Subtenant's Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the
approved Final Plans. At all times until Subtenant's Work shall be completed,
Prime Landlord and Sublandlord shall have the right to enter upon the Demised
Premises for the purpose of inspecting the same. All Subtenant's Work shall
remain a part of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas, as is appropriate,
unless and to the extent directed otherwise and (except as otherwise provided in

this Sublease, at which time the same shall become the property of Sublandlord
by Sublandlord.
C. Costs and Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5.3, the entire cost and
expense of Subtenant's Work shall be borne and paid by Subtenant, and Subtenant
shall hold and save Sublandlord and the Demised Premises harmless from any
liability whatsoever on account thereof. Before the commencement of Subtenant's
Work, Subtenant shall give to Sublandlord written notice thereof specifying the

claims or demands arising from Subtenant's Work to be enforced against the
Demised Premises or any part thereof, and shall hold Sublandlord free and
harmless from any liability for any such liens, claims or demands, together with
all costs and expenses in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if Subtenant shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any lien, claim or demand, then Subtenant shall, at its expense,
defend itself, Sublandlord and Prime Landlord against the same and shall pay and
satisfy any final adverse judgment that may be rendered therein before the
enforcement thereof against Sublandlord, Prime Landlord, or the Demised Premises
or any part thereof, and Subtenant shall name Sublandlord and Prime Landlord as
additional obligee under a surety bond in the amount of said lien, claim or
demand to be furnished by Subtenant in the contest proceedings.

compliance. Approval of the Final Plans by Sublandlord is not a representation
that the drawings are in compliance with the requirements of governing
authorities, and it shall be Subtenant's responsibility to meet and comply with
all federal, state, and local code requirements. Approval of the Final Plans
does not constitute assumption of responsibility by Sublandlord or its architect

responsible for such matters.
