III. LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE, made and entered this day of , by and
between the CITY OF AUBURN, a Washington municipal corporation, ("Landlord"), and WE

by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the premises described for the Lease Term, subject
to all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth.
ARTICLE 1:
PREMISES
1.1. Grant of Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant those certain premises described in
Section 6.1 of the Summary (the "Premises"), which Premises are located in the single -story
building described in Section 6.2 of the Summary (the "Building"). Landlord and Tenant confirm
and stipulate that the number of square feet of "Rentable Area" contained in the Premises initially
leased by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (i) is as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary, (ii) have
been calculated in accordance with Landlord's standard rentable area measurement standards used
for the Building (currently the Building Owners and Managers Association Standard' for the
measurement of commercial office space (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 2010-Method A)), and (iii) is not
subject to remeasurement, adjustment or modification, and accordingly, there shall be no
modification or adjustment of the Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses or Utilities
Costs (if any), the Tenant Improvement Allowance (if any) or any other dollar amounts set forth
in this Lease which are based upon any such square footage amounts. The Building and the surface
parking areas located adjacent to the Building (the "Surface Parking Areas"), any outside plaza
areas, land and other improvements surrounding the Building, the Common Areas, as defined
below, and the land upon which any of the foregoing are situated are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Real Property." The legal description of land comprising the Real
Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A floor plan showing the size and location of the
Premises within the Building is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Tenant's use and occupancy of the
Premises shall include the use, in common with others, of those portions of the Real Property
which are designated by Landlord for use in common by Tenant and any other tenants of the
Building (the "Common Areas"), but excluding therefrom and reserving unto Landlord the exterior
faces of all exterior walls, the roof and the right to install, use and maintain where necessary in the
Premises all pipes, ductwork, conduits and utility lines through hung ceiling space, partitions,
beneath the floor or through other parts of the Premises; provided such installation, use and
maintenance do not unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use and occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant or unreasonably diminish Tenant's access to the Premises. Landlord reserves
the right to affect such other tenancies in the Building as Landlord may elect in its sole business
judgment. Landlord also reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to,
or change the location of elements of the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith,
Landlord shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the
conduct of Tenant's business at the Premises, including providing Tenant with advance notice of
48 hours whenever Landlord may reasonably provide such notice.
1.2. Condition of Premises. Tenant shall occupy the Premises in its current "AS IS"
condition without any obligation on Landlord's part to construct or pay for any tenant
improvement or refurbishment work in the Premises, and Tenant shall be solely responsible, at its
sole cost and expense, for constructing any and all alterations and refurbishment work for the
Premises pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Article 9 below.
1.3. Storage Area. Tenant acknowledges that the leased Premises include a designated
storage area located at the rear of the Building (the "Storage Area"), which is leased solely for
storage purposes. Tenant shall not convert, improve, or use the Storage Area for any purpose other
than storage without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant converts or uses
the Storage Area for any other purpose, whether with or without Landlord's consent, the then -
current annual Base Rent shall automatically increase by ten percent (10%) to reflect such alternate
use, effective as of the date such conversion or alternate use first occurs.
ARTICLE 2:
TERM
2.1 Initial Term. The "Initial Term" of this Lease shall be as described in Section 7.1
of the Summary and shall commence on the date ("Commencement Date") described in
Section 7.2 of the Summary, and shall terminate on the date (the "Expiration Date") described in
Section 7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The

determine the Base Rent and any other terms to apply during the upcoming Extension Term,
as further described in Section 2.4 below.
(iii) Exercise Notice: If the Parties reach agreement on Base Rent and all other
negotiated terms at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall deliver
written notice to Landlord (the "Exercise Notice") no later than ten (10) calendar days prior
to the Expiration Date, confirming Tenant's election to extend the Lease and setting forth the
agreed -upon Base Rent and other applicable terms. The Exercise Notice shall constitute a
binding and irrevocable acceptance by Tenant of Landlord's offer to extend the Lease upon
those agreed terms.
(iv) Failure to Exercise: If Tenant fails to timely deliver either the Interest Notice or
the Exercise Notice, or if the Parties are unable to agree upon Base Rent or other material
terms at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, the applicable Extension Option
shall automatically terminate, and the Lease shall expire as originally scheduled, with all
remaining Extension Options deemed waived.

Rent and any other negotiated terms shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Parties during the
negotiation period described in Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Base Rent for any Extension Term be less than the Base Rent payable during the final year of the
immediately preceding Term. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on Base Rent or any
other negotiated terms within the timeframe specified in Section 2.3, the applicable Extension
Option shall automatically terminate, and the Lease shall expire on its scheduled Expiration Date.

Landlord as Additional Rent.

of Utilities Costs (defined below) and costs charged directly to a specific tenant by Landlord,
Operating Expenses are intended to be inclusive of all costs, including reasonable wages paid to
staff of the Landlord, because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance,
security, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Building and the Real Property.
If Landlord replaces any of the categories of items listed in Sections 6.2.3.1 to

according to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Landlord shall amortize the cost
of such replacement over its useful life, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and Tenant shall
only be obligated to reimburse Landlord each year for Tenant's Share of such amortized cost.
Landlord has no obligation to amortize repairs or maintenance items relating to the Major Items
that are deductible in the year incurred in accordance with GAAP, and all such repair and
maintenance costs shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as Operating Expenses in the year
incurred. Operating Expenses may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

necessary to comply with applicable Laws shall likewise be included as Operating Expenses;
provided, however, that if any such alteration or addition is required solely for the HVAC system
serving a single tenant exclusively, such cost and expense shall not be considered an Operating
Expense and shall be the sole responsibility of the benefiting tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any costs or expenses arising from repairs, service calls,
replacements, or other maintenance required as a result of the use, misuse, or neglect of an
HVAC system serving a single tenant exclusively shall not be considered Operating Expenses
and shall be the sole responsibility of the benefiting tenant.

made in or to the Building (i) in order to conform to changes subsequent to completion of the
original construction of the Building in any applicable Laws (herein "Required Capital

repairing and maintaining the Building and Real Property, including all sums expended in
connection with the Common Areas for general maintenance and repairs, resurfacing, painting,
restriping, cleaning, sweeping and janitorial services, window washing, sidewalks, curbs and

and Environmental Design) rating or compliance system or program, including that currently
coordinated through the U.S. Green Building Council or Energy Star rating and/or compliance
system or program (collectively, "Conservation Costs"). Costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
in operating, managing, repairing and maintaining the Building and Real Property which are
incurred exclusively for the benefit of specific tenants of the Building will be billed accordingly
and will not be included within Operating Expenses.
6.2.3.6. The cost of parking area operation servicing the Building, including repair,
restoration, and maintenance.
6.2.4. "Utility Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building
and the Real Property which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not
limited to, the costs of water, sewer, gas and electricity, and the costs of heat, ventilation, air
conditioning and other utilities (but excluding those charges for which tenants directly reimburse
Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees, assessments,
measurement meters, and devices and surcharges. Utility Costs shall include any costs of utilities
that are allocated to the Real Property under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other
instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Real Property or any portion thereof, including
any covenants, conditions, or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the Real
Property.
6.3. Calculating and Payment of Operating Expenses & Utility Costs.
6.3.1. Calculation of Variance. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing
within the Lease Term, (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for such Expense Year varies
from the amounts contained in the Estimated Statement, and (ii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs
for such Expense Year varies from the amounts contained in the Estimated Statement (the
"Variance"), then Tenant shall pay the Variance as additional Rent to Landlord, or Landlord shall
apply the Variance for the benefit of the Tenant in the manner outlined in Section 6.3.2, below.
6.3.2. Statement of Actual Operating Expenses & Utilities Costs and Payment
by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first (1'� day of April
following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the actual
Operating Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and
which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Variance. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the full amount of the Variance underpayment for such Expense Year pursuant to
Section 6.3.1 above. If any Statement reflects that the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord for such
Expense Year is greater than the actual amount due for such Expense Year, then Landlord shall,
at Landlord's option, either (i) remit such Variance overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after such applicable Statement is delivered to Tenant, or (ii) credit such Variance overpayment
toward the additional Rent next due and payable to Tenant under this Lease. The failure of
Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from
enforcing its rights under this Article 6. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has
vacated the Premises, if the Statement for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates reflects
that Tenant's payment to Landlord of Variance for such Expense Year was greater than or less
than the actual amount paid for such last Expense Year, then within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's delivery of such Statement to Tenant, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such
Variance overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such Variance underpayment, as the
case may be. The provisions of this Section 6.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of the Lease.
6.3.3. Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses & Utility Costs. Landlord
shall endeavor, but not warrant to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate
Statement") by January 1" of each year which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the
"Estimate") of the Tenant's Share for the forthcoming Expense Year of (i) the total amount of
Operating Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building pursuant to Section 6.2.3 above, and
(ii) the total amount of Utility Costs allocated to the tenants of the Building pursuant to
Section 6.2.4 above, and Tenant's Share of such Operating Expenses and Utility Costs for the then -
current Expense Year shall be payable as additional Rent (the "Estimated Expenses and Utilities").
The Estimate Statement for the Premises at the time of commencement is described is Summary
Section 10.1. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense
Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Expenses, and
Utilities under this Article 6. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay
monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one -twelfth (1/12) of the
total Estimated Expenses, Taxes and Utilities set forth in the previous Estimate Statement
delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE 7:
ITTILITIFS
7.1 Utilities. Tenant has fully investigated the utility services available at the Premises
and accepts them in their present condition. Tenant shall pay all separately metered utility charges
directly. If any utilities are not separately metered, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Tenant's
pro-rata share of the cost of such utilities, as Landlord shall reasonably determine, within thirty
(30) days following receipt of an invoice.
7.2 Separate Metering. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7 to
the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to cause some or all of the electricity, water and/or other
utilities to be separately metered for the Premises (after giving Tenant at least thirty (30) days
advance notice of its intent to do so), and Tenant shall pay for the cost of all such utilities so
separately metered, or which are billed directly to Tenant, within ten (10) days after Tenant's
receipt of Landlord's invoice, in which event Utility Costs for the Expense Year shall be equitably
reduced to exclude all such utilities provided to the Premises and to the other premises of the
Building leased to other tenants in the Building. In the event that a portion of the Building is leased
to a third party, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utilities (including
electricity, water and natural gas, to the extent possible and customary) to be separately metered
for the Premises.

Landlord may, with notice to Tenant (advance notice of 48 hours whenever Landlord may
reasonably provide such notice), or without notice in case of emergency, shut off or discontinue
utilities and services when such actions are necessary to make repairs or alterations. No such
action shall be construed as an eviction or disturbance of possession by Landlord nor relieve
Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore,
Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for
injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without limitation, loss of revenue,

Premises and keep the same in good order, condition, and repair, including, without limitation, all
improvements, fixtures, window coverings, exterior glass fronts and windows, furnishings,
systems, and equipment (including, without limitation, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as
dishwashers, garbage disposals, and both supplemental and regular HVAC systems serving the
Premises exclusively), as well as the floor coverings and the concrete slab foundation of the
Building on which the Premises is located.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord in good condition, meaning that all equipment and systems shall be in proper
working order and all fixtures and coverings shall be intact, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Tenant shall also be responsible for providing and paying for all janitorial services and supplies
necessary to properly maintain the Premises.
Except for damage covered under Section 12, if Tenant fails to make or commence the
required repairs or replacements within ten (10) calendar days after receiving a written "Repair or
Replace Notice" from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the
Premises and make such repairs or replacements. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord,
as Additional Rent, for the total cost of such work, including all taxes, fees, and other costs incurred
by Landlord, plus an administrative and management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the total
cost.
Landlord shall also have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make
any repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises, the Building, or any
equipment located therein, as Landlord deems necessary or desirable, or as may be required by
any governmental or quasi -governmental authority, court order, or decree. Tenant hereby waives
and releases any right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any applicable Laws.
8.2. Landlord's Responsibilities. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense (except as
otherwise provided in this Lease), maintain, repair, and replace the Building and its structural
components in a good, clean, and safe condition, consistent with the standards of comparable
buildings of similar class in the Auburn, Washington area. Landlord's maintenance, repair, and
replacement obligations shall include, without limitation, the roof, foundation, exterior walls
(excluding exterior glass portions located within the Premises, which shall be maintained by
Tenant), interior structural walls, and all structural components of the Building. Landlord shall also
be responsible for periodic preventive maintenance of the Building's HVAC systems (including,
by way of example, quarterly inspections, filter replacements, and routine cleaning of blower
assemblies and return and supply air grilles), as well as for the maintenance, repair, and
replacement of all Building systems —mechanical, electrical, and plumbing —up to the point of
connection to the Premises (expressly excluding any systems, components, or equipment located
within or serving only the Premises, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1).
If at any time during the Term such maintenance, repairs, or replacements are required,
Landlord shall perform them promptly following notice from Tenant, and shall do so in a manner
that does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's operations within the Premises. If Landlord fails
to commence such required work within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving written notice
from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such repairs on
Landlord's behalf, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and documented costs
thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand and supporting documentation.
ARTICLE 9:
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS, ALTERATIONS. & ADDITIONS
9.1. Landlord's Consent Required. Tenant may make alterations and/or improvements
to the Premises both prior to and after the Commencement Date, provided however that all
improvements and alterations shall i) be subject to the requirements and obligations outlined in
Exhibit D, and ii) approved by Landlord through written consent. Landlord shall have 30 calendar
days from delivery by Tenant of all design drawings associated with the alterations or
improvements to provide their written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no
notice of disapproval is given to Tenant by 5:OOpm on the thirtieth day calendar day, consent will
be deemed given. In no event, however, shall Tenant alter the exterior of the Premises, except as
provided in this Section 9, or Section 21.17, or make any change or alteration which would impair
the structural soundness of the Building. Upon obtaining such consent, Tenant shall cause the work
to be done promptly and in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the plans and
specifications submitted to, and approved by, Landlord. Landlord's consent notwithstanding, all
work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable Laws and permits and as expressly
provided in Exhibit D where such alterations, additions and improvements are defined to be
Tenant Improvements. All work performed and materials supplied shall be performed or supplied
only by contractors approved by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to grant such approval
conditionally or to withdraw the same at any time. Landlord's approval thereunder shall create no
responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for the completeness, design, sufficiency or
compliance with all Laws regarding the alterations.
9.2. Wi-Fi Network. If Tenant desires to install a wireless intrrnet, internet or any data
or communications network in the Premises (collectively, "Wi-Fi Network"), Tenant shall use such
Wi-Fi Network so as not to cause any interference to other tenants in the Building or Real Property
or with any other tenant's communication equipment, and not to damage the Building or Real
Property or interfere with the normal operation of the Building or Real Property. Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs,
damages, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) (collectively, the "Claims") arising
out of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.2, except to the extent the
Claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and are not insured
or required to be insured by Tenant under this Lease. Should any interference occur, Tenant shall
take all necessary steps as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than three (3) calendar days
following such occurrence, to correct such interference. If such interference continues after such
three (3) day period, Tenant shall immediately cease operating the Wi-Fi Network until such
interference is corrected or remedied to Landlord's satisfaction. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord has granted and/or may grant telecommunication rights to other tenants and occupants
of the Building or Real Property and to telecommunication service providers, and in no event shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant for any interference to the Wi-Fi Network. Landlord makes no
representation that the Wi-Fi Network shall be able to receive or transmit communication signals
without interference or disturbance.
Tenant shall (i) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any
Laws in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Wi-Fi Network and comply
with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, (ii) pay for all
necessary repairs, replacements to or maintenance of the Wi-Fi Network, and (iii) be responsible
for any modifications, additions or repairs to the Building or Real Property, including without
limitation, Building or Real Property systems or infrastructure, which are required by reason of
the installation, operation or removal of Tenant's Wi-Fi Network. Should Landlord be required to
retain professionals to research any interference issues that may arise and confirm Tenant's
compliance with the terms of this Section 9.2, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 20 days
after the date which Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for the costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with Landlord's retention of such professionals, the research of such interference issues
and confirmation of Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Section 9.2. All invoices shall
include a 10% administration and management fee in addition to any actual costs incurred by
Landlord. This reimbursement obligation is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies
Landlord may have in the event of a breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.
9.3. Surrender at End of Term. Any alterations, additions and improvements made by
Tenant on the Premises, excepting Tenant's trade fixtures, shall immediately become the property
of Landlord and remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, unless prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Landlord
provides written notice to Tenant to remove the same. In such case, Tenant shall remove the same
on or before the expiration of the Lease and repair any damage resulting from such removal. Upon
the expiration of the Lease, or any sooner termination, Tenant shall remove all of its personal
property and any cabling and wiring (including cabling and wiring associated with the Wi-Fi
Network) from the Premises and repair all damage resulting from such removal; provided,
however, if prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Landlord provides written
notice to Tenant to surrender the cabling and wiring with the Premises upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, Tenant shall not remove such cabling and wiring. If Tenant fails to
complete any such removal work and/or to repair any damage caused by such removal work
pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord may do so and charge the cost thereof to Tenant (together with
a 10% administration/management fee), and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice.
9.4. Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose certain requirements upon Tenant
as a condition of its consent to any alterations, additions or repairs of the Premises ("Alterations").
Such requirements may include, but not be limited to, the requirement for Tenant to utilize only
contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen (or any combination thereof)
approved by Landlord (in Landlord's sole discretion). As part of Landlord's approval (if granted),
Landlord may also require Tenant to remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early
termination of the Lease. Removal of said Alterations, if required shall be done at Tenant's
expense. If Landlord's consent is silent on the subject of removal, the Tenant shall not need to
remove the Alteration. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good
and workmanlike manner, in conformance with all applicable Laws and required permits. In the
event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally
required changes to the "Base Building," as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at
Tenant's expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The "Base Building" shall include
the structural portions of the Building, and the systems and equipment located in the internal core
of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In the course of
constructing, repairing, or maintaining any such Alterations, Tenant shall not unreasonably
obstruct access to the Building or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Building, or
unreasonably obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Building. In addition to
Tenant's obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord a
reproducible copy of the "as built" drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals
and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.
9.5. Payment for Work. Tenant shall pay all costs of any such Alterations or work
promptly to avoid the assertion of any mechanic's or materialman's lien. Tenant shall discharge,
by bonding, payment or other means, any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises, the Building
or the Real Property within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice thereof and shall promptly
inform Landlord of any such notice. If the lien is not discharged within said thirty (30) day period,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to discharge said lien by payment, bonding
or otherwise, and the costs and expenses to Landlord of obtaining such discharge shall be paid to
Landlord by Tenant on demand as additional Rent.
9.6. Tenant Acknowledgement. Tenant acknowledges that in performing any
improvements or alterations to the Premises, Tenant is not acting as the agent of Landlord and that
no labor, professional services, materials, or equipment for the improvement of the Premises or
Real Property are being furnished at the insistence of Landlord.
9.7. Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease,
prior to the commencement of any Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that
Tenant carries "Builder's Risk" and any other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require
covering the construction of the Alterations in an amount approved by Landlord. Tenant shall
further be responsible for insuring said Alterations upon completion there of pursuant to Article 10
of this Lease. Tenant's contractors and subcontractors shall also be required to carry Commercial
General Liability Insurance in an amount approved by Landlord and otherwise subject to the
requirements of Article 10 of this Lease. Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain
a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount
sufficient to ensure the lien -free completion of said Alterations and naming Landlord as a co -
obligee.

or willful misconduct of Landlord, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury
to persons in, upon or about the Premises, Building, or Property from any cause whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, any personal injuries resulting from a slip and fall in, upon or about
the Premises, Building, or Property) and agrees that Landlord, its officers, officials, employees,
volunteers, and agents (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby
released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the
loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through
Tenant. Tenant shall further defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord Parties from and
against any and all claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for injury or death of any person, or for loss
or damage to property, which arises out of Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, Building,
or Property, or from the conduct of Tenant's business, or any activity, work or thing done,
permitted, or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises, Building, or Property, unless such
claims, suits, actions, or liabilities are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with
or arising out of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, unless such suit is caused by the negligence
or willful misconduct of the Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred
in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as reasonable
appraisers', accountants' and attorneys' fees.
11.2. Indemnification of Other Tenants. Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless all
other tenants of the Building from any loss or damage caused to the Building owing to the leakage

person, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers, or
any other person in or about the Premises caused by, or resulting from, fire, steam, electricity, gas
or water, which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning
or lighting fixtures of the same, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a part, or from other
sources. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
tenant of the Building. In no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages.
11.5. Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, either
party's agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section 11 shall be ineffective to
the extent the matters for which such party agreed to indemnify the other party are covered by
insurance required to be carried by the non -indemnifying party pursuant to this Lease. Further,
Tenant's agreement to indemnify Landlord and Landlord's agreement to indemnify Tenant
pursuant to this Section 11 is not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its
obligations under policies required to be carried pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the
extent such policies cover, or if carried, would have covered the matters, subject to the parties'
respective indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the
parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees that it shall not assert
any industrial insurance immunity rights pursuant to Title 51 RCW (as the same may be amended,
substituted or replaced) if such assertion would be inconsistent with or otherwise impair Landlord's
right to indemnification under this Section 11, and, accordingly, hereby waives all such industrial
insurance immunity rights. The foregoing waiver of industrial insurance immunity rights was
specifically negotiated by Landlord and Tenant and is solely for the benefit of the Landlord and
Tenant, and their successors and assigns, under the Lease, and is not intended as a waiver of
Tenant's rights of immunity under such industrial insurance for any other purposes. If and only to
the extent RCW 4.24.115 is deemed to apply to all or any part of this Lease then the indemnities
set forth in this Lease shall be limited such that: (i) Tenant is not indemnifying Landlord for
damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property caused by, or resulting from,
the sole negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees; and (ii) any indemnity against liability
for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property caused by or resulting
from, the concurrent negligence of (A) Landlord or its agents or employees, and (B) Tenant or its
agents, employees, or volunteers, is valid and enforceable only to the extent permitted under RCW
4.24.115. The parties hereby acknowledge that the foregoing waiver was mutually negotiated by
the parties. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring
prior to such expiration or termination.
ARTICLE 12:
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION & BUSINESS INTERUPTIONS
12.1. Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises

damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable
delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject
to all other terms of this Article 12, restore the structural components of the Premises and such
Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the structural
components of the Premises and Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications
required by zoning and building codes and other Laws with respect to the Property and/or the
Building, or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord. Upon
the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party
designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance
required under Section 10.3 and 10.4 above pertaining to all tenant improvements and fixtures in
the Premises (but not Tenant's personal property), and Landlord shall repair any damage to the
tenant improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements to their
original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of
insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant,
the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the
damage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Landlord be obligated
to repair or restore any specialized or dedicated equipment serving Tenant, such as any cabling,
wiring, supplemental utility system or telephone system or Wi-Fi Network. In connection with
such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit
to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings
relating thereto, and, Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work.
Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury
to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided,
however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas
necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall
allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses
and Utility Costs, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the
purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied and used by Tenant as a result thereof.
12.2. Landlord's Option to Repair. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 12.1, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and
instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing ("Notice of Termination Pursuant to
Lease Section 12.2") of such termination within sixty (60) days after Landlord becomes aware of
such damage. Landlord may only elect to issue a Notice of Termination Pursuant to Lease Section
12.2 if the Building was damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and one of the following
conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the date of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of
overtime or other premiums); or (ii) Landlord's insurance policies do not fully cover the damage;
or (iii) the damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building occurs during the last 24 months
of Tenant's then existing Term. Any such Notice of Termination Pursuant to Lease Section 12.2
shall include a termination date providing Tenant up to ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises. If
the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last
24 months of Tenant's existing Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 12,
Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the
exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after Landlord becomes aware of such damage. In
such event, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such
termination of the Lease pursuant to this Section 12.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and
Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall
thereafter be discharged from all further obligations under this Lease arising after such termination,
except for those obligations which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease.
12.3. Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this
Article 12, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and
all damage to, or destruction of, any or part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of
the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Building is located, with
respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express
agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall
have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises,
the Building or the Real Property.
ARTICLE 13:
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Building and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances
arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of
Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any
claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of same or in connection with. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by
bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail
to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without
being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed
additional Rent under this Lease payable within ten (10) days following demand and does not limit
or restrict Landlord from seeking other remedies available under this Lease. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act that shall subject Landlord's title to the Building or
Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied
contract.
ARTICLE 14:
ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING
14.1. Transfers. Tenant shall not (a) voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, encumber
or transfer any of Tenant's interest in this Lease; and (b) without the prior written consent of
Landlord, voluntarily or by operation of law, sublet or license any part of Tenant's interest in this
Lease or in the Premises or permit any part of the Premises to be used or occupied by any person
other than Tenant, its employees, customers and others having lawful business with Tenant (all of
the foregoing under this subsection (b) are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as
"Transfers" and any person or entity to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is
hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to
any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall
include: (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days
nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice; (ii) a
description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"); (iii) all of the
terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration thereof, including a calculation of the Profit
Rental (as defined below), in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed
Transferee, and a copy of all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer
or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer; and (iv) for all other Transferees current
financial statements pertaining to the proposed Transferee certified by an officer (if the Transferee
is a non-profit corporation the financial statements may be limited to IRS Form 990 most recently
filed by the Transferee with the IRS and its current bank and brokerage statements), partner or
owner thereof, and any other information required by Landlord, which will enable Landlord to
determine the character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's
business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may
reasonably require.
14.2. Landlord's Consent. Upon due consideration of the Permitted Uses, Landlord
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer on the terms specified in the
Transfer Notice. The parties agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any
applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of
the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
(i) in Landlord's sole judgment, the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in
business which is consistent with, or complimentary to the Landlord's other tenants; (ii) the
Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
(iii) in Landlord's judgment, the Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number
of occupants per floor within the Subject Space; (iv) in Landlord's judgment, on the date consent
is requested the Transferee does not appear able to sustainably continue its operations even with
financial or other assistance to be provided to it by the Tenant; (v) the proposed Transfer would
cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or
would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease; (vi) the terms of the proposed
Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first
offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by
Tenant pursuant to any such right); or (vii) either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity
which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the
proposed Transferee, (A) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent
(B) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (C) has negotiated
with Landlord during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2, Tenant
may, within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or
portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer
Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 above, provided that if there are
any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (1) such that
Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this
Section 14.2, or (2) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the
Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit
the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord
has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or
acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages
(other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business including, without
limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the
relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right
at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all
applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.3. Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions
of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall
not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation
pertaining to the Transfer in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and (iv) no Transfer relating
to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord's
consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease,
including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. In the event that Tenant
subleases all or any portion of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Article 14, Tenant
shall cause such subtenant to carry and maintain the same insurance coverage terms and limits as
are required of Tenant, in accordance with the terms of Article 10 of this Lease.
14.4. Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer shall be subordinate and subject to the
provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease is terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord
shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any
lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord
under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease after the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure period, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct any
Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord
(which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such default is
cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default
hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any Transfer the Transferee
shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or
observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any Transferee
shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a
release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing.
In no event shall Landlord's enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be
deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other
person. If Tenant's obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord's consent to any Transfer
shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
ARTICLE 15:
TENANTS DEFAULT
15.1. Definition. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default and
breach of this Lease by Tenant:
15.1.1. Any failure by Tenant to pay when due any Rent or any other monetary
sums required to be paid thereunder, which failure continues for five (5) business days after written
notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to more than
two (2) notices for monetary defaults during any consecutive 12 month period, and if, after two
(2) such notices, any Rent or other sum is not paid when due, a default and breach of this Lease
shall be considered to have occurred without further notice; provided, further, that any such notice
given pursuant to this Section 15.1.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any statutory notice
required under applicable Laws.
15.1.2. Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant's
performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period
shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 15.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe and perform
any other provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant within 15 days after
notice thereof has been provided to Tenant by Landlord, or if performance is not possible within
said period, any failure of Tenant to commence performance within said period and to diligently
prosecute such performance to completion.
15.1.3. Intentionally creating or permitting a nuisance which is not abated within
5 days after written notice thereof from Landlord.
15.1.4. Abandonment of all or a substantial portion of the Premises by Tenant
15.1.5. The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of
Section 21.1 or Article 17 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than five (5) business
days after notice from Landlord.
15.1.6. If Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
("Guarantor"): (i) admits in writing that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due; (ii) is
declared insolvent according to any Law; (iii) makes or attempts to make an assignment of
Tenant's or Guarantor's property for the benefit of creditors; (iv) a receiver or trustee is appointed
for Tenant or Guarantor or its property; (v) the interest of Tenant or Guarantor under this Lease is
levied on under execution or other legal process; (vi) any petition is filed by or against Tenant or
Guarantor to declare Tenant bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant's debts or obligations;
or (vii) any petition is filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant's or Guarantor's
capital structure, if Tenant or Guarantor is a corporation or other entity; any such levy, execution,
legal process or petition filed against Tenant or Guarantor shall not constitute a breach of this Lease
provided Tenant or Guarantor shall vigorously contest the same by appropriate proceedings and
shall remove or vacate the same within sixty (60) days from the date of its creation, service or
filing.
15.1.7. The taking of this Lease or Tenant's interest under a writ of execution.
Notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods
provided by Law.
15.2. Interest on Unpaid Sums. If any Rent, or any other monetary sum required to be
paid thereunder by Tenant to Landlord, is not paid within thirty (30) days from being due, such
sum shall accrue interest from the date due (not the thirty (30) days from which the Landlord has
the right to charge said interest) until received at the rate (the "Interest Rate") which is the lower
of (i) the highest rate permitted by applicable Law or (ii) eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
15.3. Remedies. In the event of any such default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at
any time thereafter pursue, without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy
which Landlord may have at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and
cumulative), any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative
and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever:
15.3.1. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender
the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other
remedy which it may have for possession or arrears in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the
Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises
or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and
Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
I. Any earned but unpaid Rent under this Lease owing to Landlord at the time
of termination;
II. The amount of Base Rent and leasehold excise tax Landlord would receive
following the date of termination for a period of thirty-six (36) months, or
the expiration of the existing Term, whichever is less;
III. The amount of Additional Rent for a period of thirty-six (36) months, or the
expiration of the existing Term, whichever is less, assessed at the then -
existing rate as of the date of termination. Landlord shall have no duty to
reconcile the Additional Rent collected under this provision against actual
costs. Landlord and Tenant agree that these funds are forfeited to Landlord;
IV. Any other such amounts in addition to or in lieu of the .foregoing that may
be permitted from time to time by applicable law, provided that damages
associated with loss of Rent shall be limited to the amounts measured is I —
III, above.
Upon termination of the Lease by Landlord and surrender of Premises by Tenant, Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re -let the Premises and
otherwise mitigate its damages by the Tenant under this Lease, however, in no respect will
Landlord's efforts to mitigate its damages effect the sums owed to it under provisions I — III above.
15.3.2. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default
by Tenant, Landlord may continue the Lease in effect (whether or not Tenant has abandoned or
vacated the Premises) and, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.
15.3.3. Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be
cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available
under Sections 15.3.1 and 15.3.2 above, or any Law or other provision of this Lease), without prior
demand or notice except as required by applicable Law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other
equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of
any provision hereof.
15.4. Subleases of Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any
default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 15, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and
all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into
by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's
interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.' In the event of Landlord's
election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or
arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further
right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
15.5. Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges late payment by Tenant to Landlord
of Rent and other sums due thereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any Rent
or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee by
5:00 p.m on the tenth (10'') day of the month when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late payment
by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any
of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
ARTICLE 16:
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any material part of the Premises or Building shall be taken by power of
eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi -public use or
purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or
vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of
any part of the Premises or Building, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu
of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate
this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to
the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty
(180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession
is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any
claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall
have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease
pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not
diminish the award available to Landlord with respect to the Building or Real Property, and such
claim is payable separately to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 16 to the contrary,
Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of the "bonus value" of
the leasehold estate in connection therewith, which bonus value shall be equal to the difference
between the Rent payable under this Lease and the sum established by the condemning authority
as the award for compensation for the leasehold. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of
such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so
terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 16, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises
for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but
the Base Rent and additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the
ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square
feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with
any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 17:
SUBORDINATION
17.1. Subordination. This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subject and subordinate
to the liens of any, bonds, mortgages, or deeds of trust and to any ground leases now or hereafter
placed on or against the land or improvements, or either thereof, of which the Premises are a part,
or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein, without the necessity of the execution and
delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. If any
mortgagee or trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage
or deed of trust or ground lease and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior
or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust or ground lease.
17.2. Subordination Agreements. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver
within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, without charge therefor, such further
instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such ground leases,
mortgages, deeds of trust, or bond as may be required by Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees
in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, bond holder,
or if any ground lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set -offs whatsoever, to
the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground lease, as the case may
be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor
as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule
or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise
adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any
foreclosure proceeding or sale.
ARTICLE 18:
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord agrees Tenant, upon paying Rent and other monetary sums due under this Lease
and performing the covenants and conditions of this Lease, may quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Premises during the Lease Term hereof, subject, however, to the terms, covenants, conditions and
agreements herein referring to subordination and condemnation.
ARTICLE 19:
DELAYS
Whenever Landlord shall be delayed or restricted due to no fault of Landlord in the
performance of any obligation of Landlord herein (including any obligation with respect to the
provision of any service or utility or the performance of work or repairs) by reason of Landlord's
inability to obtain materials, services or labor required for such performance or by reason of any
Law, or by reason of any other cause beyond Landlord's control, Landlord shall be entitled to
extend the time for such performance by a time equal to the extent of the delay or restriction, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort
occasioned thereby.
ARTICLE 20:
NON-DISCRIMINATION
20.1. Tenant for themselves, their personal representatives, successors in interest, and
assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that: 1) no person
on the grounds of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, religion, or military
status shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to,
discrimination in the use of said facilities, 2) that in the construction of any improvements on, over,
or under the Premises and the furnishing of services thereon, no person on the grounds of race,
sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, religion, or military status shall be excluded
from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination.
20.2. Tenant shall provide its accommodations, services, and products on a fair and
equitable basis to all users, without engaging in unjust or discriminatory practices. All pricing shall
be fair, reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory in accordance with applicable federal and state
laws, including but not limited to the Robinson-Patman Act (15 U.S.C. § 13), the Federal Trade
Commission Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the
Washington Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant
may offer reasonable and non-discriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar price reductions
to volume purchasers, provided such practices comply with the aforementioned laws and do not
adversely affect competition or unlawfully discriminate against protected classes.
20.3. Noncompliance with any part of Article 20 shall constitute a material breach
thereof and, in the event of such noncompliance, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease and the estate hereby created without liability therefor or, at the election of the Landlord or
the United States, either or both said Governments shall have the right to judicially enforce the
provisions of said Article 20.2.
20.4. Tenant agrees that it shall insert Articles 20.1 — 20.3 in any lease, license, or
sublease agreement by which said Tenant grants a right or privilege to any person, firm, or
corporation to render accommodations and/or services to the public on the Premises herein leased.
ARTICLE 21:
GENERAL PROVISIONS
21.1. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall, at any time, upon not less than five (5)
business days written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a
statement in writing (i) certifying this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
modified, stating the nature of the modification) and the date to which the Rent is paid in advance,
(ii) acknowledging there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord thereunder or specifying such default if any exist, and (iii) containing such other
information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or Landlord's prospective
mortgagees or buyers. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver such statement within five (5)
business days, it shall be deemed conclusively to have acknowledged the accuracy of the matter
set forth in Landlord's statement. Upon request from time to time, Tenant agrees to provide to
Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of written request therefor, current
financial statements for Tenant, dated no earlier than one (1) year prior to such written request,
certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements prepared by an
independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor's statement. If any Guaranty is
executed in connection with this Lease, Tenant also agrees to deliver to Landlord, within ten (10)
days after Landlord's delivery of written request therefor, current financial statements of the
Guarantor in a form consistent with the foregoing criteria.
21.2. Transfer of Landlord's Interest. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right
to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Premises and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that
in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under
this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord's
obligations hereunder after the date of transfer and such transferee shall be deemed to have fully
assumed and be liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the
return of any Security Deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such transferee.
21.3. Captions. Article and paragraph captions are for convenience only and are not a
part of this Lease and shall not be used for interpretation or construction of this Lease.
21.4. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence hereof. Unless otherwise stated herein,
any proposed or required time period of five (5) days or less shall mean business days and any
proposed or required time periods of six (6) days or more shall mean calendar days, including
Federal Holidays and weekends. For periods going by business days, when ending on a weekend
or Federal Holiday, the time period shall extend to the next business day and business days shall
end at 5:00 P.M, Pacific Time.
21.5. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.
21.6. Entire Agreement. This Lease, along with any exhibits or attachments hereto,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relative to the Premises and there are no oral
agreements or representations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This
Lease supersedes and cancels all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the subject
matter hereof. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the parties in interest at the
time of the modification.
21.7. Recording. This Lease shall not be recorded and any recordation shall be a breach
under this Lease.
21.8. Waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either parry unless
expressly waived in a writing. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same
or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall
be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement
or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord
from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Term or of
Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or
extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it
being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment
for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment
of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment. Tenant's payment of any Rent
hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Tenant of any breach or default by Landlord under this
Lease nor shall Landlord's payment of monies due Tenant hereunder constitute a waiver by
Landlord of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.
21.9. Force Maieure. Any delay in the performance of any obligation under this Lease
shall be excused, if and so long as the performance of the obligation is prevented, delayed or
otherwise hindered by any act not within the control of a party such as fire, cyber/ransomware
attack, earthquake, flood, explosion, actions of the elements, war, riots, mob violence, strikes,
lockouts, and orders of military authority; provided, however, the foregoing shall not excuse
Tenant from the timely payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other sums due hereunder, when
due.
21.10. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assigning or subletting by Tenant and subject to the provisions for the transfer of Landlord's
interest, this Lease shall bind the parties, their successors and assigns. This Lease shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Washington.
21.11. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises
after the expiration of the Term hereof, with or without the consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall
be from month -to -month only, and not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, on
the same terms and conditions as provided herein, except only as to the Term; provided, however,
during such period as a tenant from month -to -month, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at double the rate
payable for the month immediately preceding the date of termination of this Lease and, in addition,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all damages sustained by it by reason of Tenant's occupying
the Premises past the termination date. If Tenant's occupation of the Premises continues for more
than sixty (60) days past the termination date, Landlord shall also be entitled to consequential as
well as direct damages from the termination date.
21.12. Entry by Landlord. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises at all reasonable times (without notice in the event of emergency and if no emergency
and it is reasonable 24 hours notice) for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same and any
other services to be provided by Landlord or Tenant thereunder, to show the same to prospective
purchasers of the Building and make such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the
Premises or to the Building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable.
Tenant shall permit Landlord to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the last six
(6) months of the Term hereof or any renewal thereof. If Tenant shall not be personally present to
open and permit an entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary
or permitted thereunder, Landlord may enter by means of master key without liability to Tenant
except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant's property, and without affecting this Lease.
If, during the last month of the Term hereof, Tenant shall have removed substantially all of its
property from the Premises, Landlord may immediately enter and alter, renovate and redecorate
the Premises without elimination or abatement of rent or incurring liability to Tenant for any
compensation.
21.13. Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants he
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the by-
laws, duly adopted Board of Directors resolution or other governing documents of said entity, and
this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant hereby confirms that it is
not in violation of any executive order or Law which prohibits terrorism or transactions with
suspected or confirmed terrorists or terrorist entities or with persons or organizations that are
associated with, or that provide any form of support to, terrorists. Tenant further hereby confirms
that Tenant shall comply throughout the Lease Term with all applicable Laws governing
transactions or business dealings with any suspected or confirmed terrorists or terrorist entities, as
identified from time to time by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control
or any other applicable governmental entity.
21.14. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder may be served
by a party or its attorney and must be in writing and shall be deemed to be given (i) when hand
delivered, or (ii) one (1) business day after pickup by a reputable overnight express service, or
(iii) when transmitted by electronic mail (provided however that any facsimile or email
transmission initiated after 5:00 PM on a weekday, or at any time on a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday, shall be deemed delivered on the following business day), but only if confirmation of the
receipt of same is noted upon transmission of same by e-mail records and a counterpart of such
notice is also delivered pursuant to one of the two manners specified in subsections (i) or (ii) of
this Section 21.14, in any case addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth below:

purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the
same, for quality, design, code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding

and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant
by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall
have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions
or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant's waiver and indemnity set forth in
Article 11 of the Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.
