All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease.

LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease") is made and entered into this 19th day of February 2009, by and between MICHAEL R. MASTRO, a married man as his separate estate ("Landlord") and TABLEAU SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").


1. Nonstandard Provisions. The subsections of this Section 1 constitute the nonstandard provisions of this Lease and are referred to elsewhere herein.

  (a)

Premises, Building and Land. The premises consist of the Fourth (4th) floor (which may also be referred to as Suite 400 or the top floor of the Building) (the "Premises") in the Lake View at Fremont Building, located at 737 North 34th Street, Seattle, King County, Washington 98103 (the "Building"), upon the real property legally described in the attached Exhibit F (the "Land").


  (b) Floor Area of Premises. The agreed floor area of the Premises is 31,751 rentable square feet, as shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Lease. The Building contains 104,825 rentable square feet. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this paragraph, "Tenant's Pro Rata Share" of the Building is 30.29%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that, for purposes of Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent (as defined in Section 9(b) below) during the Lease Term (as defined in Section 1(c) below), "Tenant's Pro Rata Share" of the Premises shall be deemed to contain 15,875 rentable square feet during the initial twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, during which period "Tenant's Pro Rata Share" of the Building shall be deemed to be 15.14%.

  (c) Lease Term. The Lease term ("Lease Term") shall be for six (6) years, and shall, subject to Section 1(e) below, commence on the later of (i) the date of Substantial Completion (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached as Exhibit G) by Landlord of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached as Exhibit G), subject to Punch List Work (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached as Exhibit G), and (ii) June 1, 2009 (the "Scheduled Commencement Date") (the actual date that the Lease Term commences in accordance with this Section 1(c) being referred to herein as the "Commencement Date"), and, subject to any extension as in this Section 1(c), shall end on May 31, 2015 (the "Expiration Date"). If Landlord fails to deliver possession of Premises to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease on the Scheduled Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby, nor shall this Lease become void or voidable, but in such event, no Monthly Base Rent (as defined in Section 1(h) below) or Additional Rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease, and the Expiration Date shall be extended by the same number of days as the delay in delivery of possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date has not occurred within ninety (90) days of the Scheduled Commencement Date (subject to events of force majeure), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, without penalty, by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord (the "Termination Notice"), which termination shall be effective ten (10) days from receipt by Landlord of the Termination Notice (the "Termination Effective Date"). This Lease shall terminate upon the Termination Effective Date and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided herein, and Landlord shall return to Tenant the Security Deposit (as defined in Section 1(i) below) and any prepaid Monthly Base Rent (defined in Section 1(h) below) within ten (10) days after the Termination Effective Date, unless prior to the Termination Effective Date, Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease.

  (d) Fixturization Period. Landlord shall grant Tenant access to the Premises during the four (4) week period prior to Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements (the "Fixturization Period") during normal business hours (and subject to Tenant's delivery of evidence of insurance satisfying the requirements of this Lease) for the purpose installing Tenant's fixtures and equipment not included within the scope of the Tenant Improvements. All of the terms of this Lease shall be binding on and apply to Tenant during the Fixturization Period, except that Tenant's obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date.

  (e) Holdover Assumption. In the event the construction of Tenant's space is not complete and ready for occupancy prior to June 1, 2009, Landlord agrees to assume the holdover costs of Tenant's current lease obligation. Said Holdover costs shall not exceed $10,086.50 per month.

  (f) Renewal Right. Tenant shall have the option to renew the term of this Lease for one (1) renewal period (hereafter the "Renewal Term"), having a term of one (1) to five (5) years commencing immediately following the expiration of the initial Lease Term, said Renewal Term to be upon all of the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions of this Lease. The failure of Tenant to exercise the option for the Renewal Term in the manner and within the time herein provided shall terminate the rights of Tenant with respect to such Renewal Term. Tenant's right to exercise the option to renew the Lease Term will be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written notice exercising the option to renew the Lease Term at least one hundred eighty (180) days before the last day of the initial Lease Term; and

(ii) Tenant shall not be in material default under any provision of this Lease, after receipt of notice and expiration of any applicable cure period, at the date Tenant delivers to Landlord a notice of Tenant's election to renew the Lease Term.

Effective the first (1st) day of the Renewal Term, the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises shall be at the then fair market rental for the Premises (reflecting the then prevailing rent structure, inducements and concessions for comparable commercial lease renewals) as agreed upon by the parties within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises the option to renew, and, if they cannot agree within such timeframe, to be established by an evaluation of the Premises performed by a commercial real estate broker mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if they cannot agree on one (1) broker, then by a board of three (3) qualified commercial real estate brokers, one (1) selected by each of the parties and the third (3rd) broker (who shall not have provided services to or received compensation from either party during the prior two years) to be selected by the two (2) brokers chosen by the parties. If a board of brokers is utilized, the broker whose determination of fair market rent is neither the highest nor the lowest shall be binding. Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fees for such brokers in connection with the foregoing fair market rent determination. The final determination of the fair market rental for the Renewal Term shall be made, in all events, no later than ninety (90) days after Tenant exercises the option to renew.

(g)   Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an ongoing Right of First Refusal ("RFR") on Third (3rd) Floor of the Building (which may also be referred to as Suite 300 or the floor below the top floor of the Building). If any space on Third (3rd) Floor of the Building is available and Landlord has either accepted an Offer from an unaffiliated third-party to lease all or a part of such space or Landlord intends to accept the Offer, Landlord shall send a copy of the Offer to Tenant. Tenant shall then have seven (7) business days in which to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's election to lease the RFR Space on the terms set forth in the Offer. If Tenant does not elect to exercise the RFR, then Landlord may lease the RFR space to the Offerer or if Landlord does lease the RFR Space to the Offerer, but such space later becomes vacant or otherwise available for rent then the RFR space will again be subject to Tenant's RFR and Landlord shall re-offer the space to Tenant in accordance with this provision. If Tenant elects to exercise the RFR, Tenant will lease the RFR space from Landlord on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer except that the term shall be coterminous with this lease.


  (h) Monthly Base Rent. The monthly base rent for the Premises ("Monthly Base Rent") shall be payable by Tenant during the Lease Term as follows:

2. Premises. Landlord hereby Leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby Leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Premises described in Section l (a). The rentable square feet of the Premises, as stated in Section 1(b) above, is calculated according to Building Owners and Managers Association International ("BOMA") standards, namely, the "Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI – BOMA Z-65.1-1996".

3. Term. The Lease Term shall be as stated in Section 1(c).

4. Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Monthly Base Rent stated in Section l(h) in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term at the notice address set forth in Section 1(l) above, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord together with the payment of Monthly Base Rent, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 9(a)(3) below), as more particularly set forth in Section 9 below. For purposes of this Lease, the term "rent" shall mean all Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant in accordance with this Lease. Rent payable for any period of less than one calendar month shall equal 1/30 of the Monthly Base Rent for each day of such period. If any sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are not received by the fifth (5th) day following the date such sum is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord in addition to the amount due, for the cost of collecting and handling such late payment, an amount equal to the greater of $100 or five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount. In addition, all delinquent sums payable by Tenant to Landlord and not paid within five (5) days of the due date shall, at Landlord's option, bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, or the highest rate of interest allowable by law, whichever is less. Interest on all delinquent amounts shall be calculated from the original due date to the date of payment. Landlord's acceptance of less than the full amount of any payment due from Tenant shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction or compromise of such payment unless Landlord specifically consents in writing to payment of such lesser sum as an accord and satisfaction or compromise of the amount which Landlord claims.

5. Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a sum equal to the amount stated in Section l(i) as security for the performance by Tenant of every covenant and condition of this Lease. Landlord's obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord may maintain such sums separate and apart from Landlord's general funds or may commingle them with Landlord's general or other funds. Landlord is not required to pay Tenant interest on such sums, or any portion thereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any covenant or condition of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Landlord may apply the whole or a part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default or any other sum which Landlord may be required to spend by reason of Tenant's default. Tenant shall replenish any amounts spent by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 23 below within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Landlord. Within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, less those amounts that may be required by Landlord under the terms of this Lease (a) to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment of Rent or otherwise, (b) to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant, provided Landlord is entitled to the same under the terms of this Lease, and (c) to restore the Premises to the condition required by this Lease. If Landlord disposes of its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall deliver or credit the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest in the Premises and provided such successor assumes Landlord's obligations hereunder, Landlord shall be relieved of further responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit.

6. Use. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises during the Lease Term only for the purpose stated in Section l(j) and for no other purposes without the written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use the Premises, or commit any act therein, in violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance or governmental decree, or which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the Building or the Land. Tenant shall not commit or allow to be committed any waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisances or any other act or thing which disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building. Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus, machinery or device in or about the Premises that will cause any substantial noise or vibration perceptible outside the Premises. If any of Tenant's office machines and equipment disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and provided Tenant has obtained Landlord's consent thereto, provide adequate insulation or take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to eliminate such disturbance. Tenant shall observe such reasonable rules and regulations as may be adopted and published from time to time by Landlord for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises or the Building and the preservation of good order therein. A copy of the current rules and regulations for the Building are attached as Exhibit B to this Lease.

7. Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in broom clean condition, with all Building systems in good working order. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Commencement Date the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements) and Building comply with all applicable laws. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, correct any breach of such warranty promptly following receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant.

8. Maintenance and Services Provided By Landlord. Landlord shall, at its cost and expense (but as an Operating Expense to the extent permitted in this Lease) repair and maintain the public and common areas of the Building, including without limitation the lobbies, stairs, corridors and restrooms of the Building (collectively, "Common Area"), the roof, exterior walls and structural

 

- 5 -


  portions of the Building and the improvements within the Common Areas and the Building systems, including but not limited to the Building's standard plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC"), elevator, electrical, and management systems serving the Building, in first class order, condition and repair and in accordance with all current laws, codes, and ordinances, except for damage occasioned by the act of Tenant.

Landlord shall furnish the Premises with electricity for the permitted use of the Premises as described in Section 1(j) above. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of electricity used for general office use (e.g. lighting and operation of low power usage office machines, heat, normal office air conditioning, and elevator service) ("Normal Electricity Use") according to its Pro Rata Share as described in Section 9(a)(2) below, and to the extent not already included as Additional Rent. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all electricity use by Tenant contemplated by the provision of the Tenant Improvements hereunder (including, but not limited the Tenant Improvements described in Schedule 1 to Exhibit G) shall be considered Normal Electricity Use. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of Supplemental Electricity Use (as defined below). Landlord shall also provide lighting replacement for Common Area lighting, water for lavatory and toilet purposes, toilet room supplies, cold water for drinking and hot water (at prevailing temperatures prescribed by applicable law) for lavatory purposes, all at points of supply provided for general use of tenants in the Building through fixtures installed by Landlord or by Tenant with Landlord's consent, window washing with reasonable frequency, and customary janitorial service on all business days. Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day seven (7) days per week.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage caused by or resulting from variation, interruption or any failure of said services due to any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and no temporary interruption or failure of such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations or improvements or due to accident or strike or conditions or events not under Landlord's reasonable control shall be deemed as an eviction of Tenant. For the purposes of this Section 8, the term "temporary" is defined as a period of less than five (5) business days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant is prevented from using all or a portion of the Premises as a result of a failure of Landlord to provide services, access or utilities that Landlord is required to provide under this Lease, and if such failure continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after written notice from Tenant, then the Monthly Basic Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses shall be abated entirely or reduced in proportion to the extent to which Tenant's use is impaired, as the case may be, for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using the Premises or a portion thereof.

If Tenant uses equipment reasonably designated in writing and in advance by Landlord as high power usage equipment and outside and in excess of Normal Electricity Use ("Supplemental Electricity Use"), Landlord may at its option, and upon written notice to Tenant, install a meter to measure the amount of actual Supplemental Electricity Use and Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent the actual amount (as metered) of the Supplemental Electricity Use (provided that such electrical charges shall be based upon the actual costs of such electricity without markup or administrative fees). The Monthly Base Rent stated in Section l(h) does not include Supplemental Electricity Use (if any).

If such Statement shows such costs to be less than the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 9(b)(1), then the amount of such overpayment shall be credited toward the next monthly rent payable by Tenant or, if this Lease has terminated, shall be paid to Tenant concurrently with Landlord's delivery of such Statement.

 

- 10 -


  (3) End of Term. If this Lease expires or earlier terminates on a day other than the last day of an Expense Year, then the amount of any adjustment between Estimated Operating Expenses and Actual Operating Expenses with respect to the Expense Year in which such expiration or termination occurs will be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such Expense Year to and including such termination date bears to 365, and any amount payable (A) by Tenant to Landlord with respect to such adjustment is payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Statement with respect to such Expense Year, or (B) by Landlord to Tenant with respect to such adjustment shall be paid concurrently with Landlord's delivery of such Statement.

  (4) Audit Right. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant ("Review Period"), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement, Tenant's employees or an independent certified public accountant, designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord's records (pertaining to Landlord's calculation of the costs set forth in this Section 9) at Landlord's offices, provided that Tenant and such accountant or representative shall, and each of them shall cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord's records in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to review Landlord's records one (1) time during any twelve (12) month period. If such audit proves that the total amount of any item of costs set forth in this Section 9 were overstated by more than five percent (5%) then the actual, documented and reasonable cost of the accountant shall be paid for by Landlord. Promptly following the parties receipt of such audit results, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such audit.

10. Acceptance of Premises. The taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed Tenant's agreement and acknowledgment that the Premises are then in a tenantable and good condition, and that Landlord has completed all work agreed to be accomplished by Landlord at Landlord's expense under the terms of this Lease to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy, subject to any Punch List Work.

11. Care of Premises, Repairs and Alteration.

  (a) Care of Premises; Condition at Surrender; Repairs. Tenant shall take good care of the Premises. All damage or injury done to the Premises by Tenant or by any persons who may be in or upon the Premises with the consent of Tenant shall be paid for by Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all damage to the Building caused by Tenant's misuse of Premises or the appurtenances thereto. Tenant shall, at the termination of this Lease by the expiration of time or otherwise, surrender and deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good a condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord or as thereafter improved, reasonable use and wear, alteration previously approved by Landlord, and damage by fire or other casualty, excepted. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord and which if not performed will materially and adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises and Landlord fails to provide such action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, unless such repair

 

- 11 -


  would normally take longer (and Landlord has commenced said repair work within said thirty (30) day period)), then provided that Tenant's performance of such repair or maintenance will not void any applicable warranties covering such repair or maintenance, Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional five (5) business days notice to Landlord (which additional notice must clearly specify that Tenant is taking such required action), and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not taken or commenced by Landlord within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's actual reasonable costs in taking such action. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a reasonably particularized invoice from Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been taken by Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount set forth in such invoice.

  (b) Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises, or make changes to locks on doors, or add, disturb or in any way change any plumbing or wiring without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect to any cosmetic alterations to the Premises which do not affect the mechanical systems or structure of the Premises or the Building and which cost less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) in the aggregate in any year during the Lease Term. If Tenant requests that Landlord make any special improvements to the Premises, Landlord's agreement to do so may, among other factors, be conditioned upon Tenant's agreement to reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in making the special improvements to the Premises requested by Tenant. Landlord may make any alterations or improvements in the Premises that Landlord reasonably deems necessary or advisable for the preservation, or safety of the Premises. Such alterations or improvements will, if possible, be made at times convenient to Tenant and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business operations. All alterations, additions and improvements, except fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant that are removable with only minor damage to Premises, shall become the property of Landlord upon the termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, repair any damage occasioned by the removal of its equipment or fixtures from the Premises.

12. Tenant Improvements. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall construct and install in the Premises, the Tenant Improvements provided in, and in accordance with the terms of Exhibit G (including all scheduled thereto), attached hereto.

13. Parking.

  (a) Parking Allocated to Tenant. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use seventy-six (76) parking/building access cards (each, a "Parking Permit") at the rate provided in Section 13(b) for the use of parking spaces in the parking garage (the "Garage") located in the Building. Each Parking Permit will authorize parking in the Garage for one car, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Landlord shall provide reasonable visitor parking for the Building at no additional charge.

 

- 12 -


  (b) Parking Charges. The initial monthly charge for each Parking Permit is currently One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($130.00) per month, including Washington State Sales Tax. Tenant shall not be required to pay for parking during the initial twelve (12) months of the Lease Term. The said monthly parking charge will remain unchanged during the second year of the Lease Term and thereafter may increase from time to time as the market dictates. Tenant shall pay Landlord (or Landlord's Garage operator, if so directed) in advance the monthly charge for the number of Parking Permits Tenant actually uses.

  (c) Garage Rules. Tenant shall observe all rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord or its agent from time to time concerning the use of the Garage (the "Parking Garage Rules"). The Parking Garage Rules currently in effect are attached as Exhibit C to this Lease. Landlord may refuse to permit any person who violates the Parking Garage Rules to park in the Garage, and any violation of the Parking Garage Rules will subject that person's car to removal from the Garage at the car owner's risk and expense. Tenant shall supply such additional information relating to those persons authorized to use the Garage as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time, including automobile license numbers related to each Parking Permit.

  (d) Operation. Parking spaces in the Garage are provided on an unreserved "first-come, first-served" basis. Landlord reserves the right to assign specific spaces, and to reserve spaces for visitors, small cars, handicapped persons and for other tenants, guests of tenants, or other parties. Tenant may not park in any such reserved or assigned spaces; provided, however, Tenant shall at all times have access to the number of parking spaces equal to the number of Parking Permits issued to Tenant pursuant to Section 13(a) above. Landlord also reserves the right to close all or any portion of the Garage: (1) in order to make repairs or perform maintenance services, or to alter, modify, restripe or renovate the Garage, or (2) if required by casualty, strike, condemnation, act of God, governmental law or requirement, or other reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control. During the Lease Term, Landlord will provide bicycle parking during the hours the Garage is open at no additional charge and in a reasonably secure area where bicycles may be locked.

14. Entry and Inspection. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its agents to enter into and upon Premises at all reasonable times upon no less than twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice and during normal business hours (except in the event of an emergency, in which case Landlord may enter the Premises without notice to Tenant) or as otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant for the purpose of inspecting the Premises or the Building or for the purpose of cleaning, repairing, altering or improving the Premises or the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business operations. Nothing contained in this Section 14 shall be deemed to impose any obligation upon Landlord not expressly stated elsewhere in this Lease. When reasonably necessary for the purpose of cleaning, repairing, altering or improving the Building, Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure and without such action by Landlord being construed as an eviction of Tenant or relieving Tenant from the duty of observing and performing any of the provisions of this Lease, provided that such closure shall not materially impair Tenant's use of, or access to, the Premises. Subject to the terms of this Section 14, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective tenants for a period of 180 days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term.

15. Damage or Destruction By Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises are destroyed or rendered untenantable, either wholly or in part, by fire or other unavoidable casualty, Landlord shall diligently repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building itself and the initial permanently

 

- 13 -


  affixed improvements to the Premises made by Landlord or existing in the Premises as of the date of delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, and in the meantime the rent shall be abated in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole thereof. Tenant shall pay the cost of repairing or replacing all other improvements in the Premises and Tenant's trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a result of damage, notify Tenant of Landlord's estimated assessment of the period of time in which the repairs that Landlord is responsible for under this Section 15 will be completed ("Damage Repair Estimate"), which assessment shall be based upon the opinion of a contractor reasonably selected by Landlord and experienced in comparable repairs of office buildings. If the Damage Repair Estimate indicates that such repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced, either Landlord or Tenant may elect, not later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the Damage Repair Estimate, to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other effective as of the date specified in such notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, a total destruction of the Building shall automatically terminate this Lease.

16. Insurance.

  (a) Landlord's Insurance. All insurance maintained by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord's sole control. Landlord agrees to maintain "Special Form" property insurance insuring the Building against damage or destruction due to risk including fire, vandalism, and malicious mischief in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) (or such greater percentage as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of any co-insurance clauses of the policy) of the replacement cost thereof, in the form and with deductibles and endorsements as selected by Landlord. If required by its lender, Landlord may also obtain earthquake, pollution, and/or flood insurance in amounts selected by Landlord. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any damage to, any furniture, machinery, goods, inventory or supplies, or other personal property or fixtures which Tenant may keep or maintain in the Premises, or any leasehold improvements, additions or alterations within the Premises.

  (b) Tenant's Insurance.

  (1) Property Insurance. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times until the end of the Lease Term, insurance on all personal property and fixtures of Tenant and all improvements, additions or alterations made by or for Tenant to the Premises on a "Special Form" basis, insuring such property for the full replacement value of such property. The policy shall include "Business Income and Extra Expense Endorsements" at 100% of Tenant's gross revenue for a period of twelve (12) months.

  (2)

Liability Insurance. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times until the end of the Lease Term commercial general liability insurance covering bodily injury, personal and advertising injury and property damage liability occurring in or about the Premises or arising out of the use and occupancy of the Premises and the Building, and any part of either, and any areas adjacent thereto, and the

 

- 14 -


  business operated by Tenant or by any other occupant of the Premises. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage insuring all of Tenant's indemnity obligations under this Lease. Such coverage shall have a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and a minimum general aggregate limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), with an "Additional Insured – Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement" or equivalent. All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury (including death), property damage or loss (broad form), fire legal liability, products completed operations, medical payments, personal and advertising injury and other covered loss, however occasioned, occurring during the policy term, shall be endorsed to add Landlord and any party holding an interest to which this Lease may be subordinated as an additional insured. All such insurance shall provide for the severability of interests of insureds, and shall be written on an "occurrence" basis, which shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period.

  (3) Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance. Tenant shall carry workers' compensation insurance as required by any applicable laws, throughout the Lease Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall also carry employers' liability insurance in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each accident for bodily injury by accident; One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) policy limit for bodily injury by disease; and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each employee for bodily injury by disease, throughout the Lease Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

  (4) General Insurance Requirements. All insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be written by companies rated A VII or better in "Best's Insurance Guide" and authorized to do business in the State of Washington. All coverages except Workers Compensation through Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and waive all rights of subrogation by the insurance carrier against Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date of this Lease, and thereafter as soon as practical prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies, a certificate of insurance issued by the insurer thereunder evidencing the coverages required by this Lease and showing that Landlord is named as additional insured on the commercial general liability policy and as additional insured/loss payee on the property insurance policy with respect to Landlord's interest in improvements and alterations. If Tenant fails to procure the insurance required by this Lease, or to deliver such certificates, then Landlord may, at Landlord's option and in addition to Landlord's other remedies in the event of a default by Tenant hereunder, procure the same for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent.

17. Waiver of Subrogation. Whether the loss or damage occasioned to the Premises or the Building is due to the negligence of either Landlord or Tenant, their agents or employees, or any other cause, Landlord and Tenant do each herewith and hereby release and relieve the other from responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of recovery for (1) any loss or damage to the real or personal property of either party located anywhere in the Building and including the Building itself, arising out of or incident to the occurrence of any of the perils covered by the property

 

- 15 -


insurance policy specified in Section 16(a) above, or (2) loss resulting from business interruption at the Premises or loss of rental income from the Building, arising out of or incident to the occurrence of any of the perils covered by the "Business Income and Extra Expense Endorsement" specified in Section 16(b)(1) above. To the extent that such risks under (1) and (2) are in fact covered by insurance, each party shall cause its insurance carriers to consent to such waiver and to waive all rights of subrogation against the other party.


18. Accidents and Indemnity. Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord, and save it harmless from and against any and all liability, damages, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from any act, omission, or negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or the officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors of Tenant in or about the Premises, or, arising from any accident, injury, or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property occurring in or about the Premises, provided that the foregoing provision shall not be construed to make Tenant responsible for loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from injuries to third parties caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or of any officer, contractor, licensee, agent, servant, employee, guest, invitee or visitor of Landlord.

Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to persons or property sustained by Tenant, or other persons, which may be caused by the Building or the Premises, or any appurtenances thereto, being out of repair or by the bursting or leakage or any water, gas, sewer, or steam pipe, or by theft, or by any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building, or of any other person, or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

Landlord shall defend and indemnify Tenant, and save it harmless from and against any and all liability, damages, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from any act, omission, or negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or the officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors of Landlord in or about the Building, or, arising from any accident, injury, or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property occurring in or about the Building, provided that the foregoing provision shall not be construed to make Landlord responsible for loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from injuries to third parties caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or of any officer, contractor, licensee, agent, servant, employee, guest, invitee or visitor of Tenant.


19. Assignment and Subletting.

  (a) Assignment, Mortgage or Encumbrance. Except as provided below, Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, and any attempt to do so without first obtaining such consent shall be voidable at the option of Landlord. Landlord shall not, however, unreasonably withhold or delay such consent, but such consent shall require that such assignee, mortgagee or encumbrancer agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

  (b) Sublease. Except as provided below, Tenant shall not sublease the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall require that such sublessee agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease applicable to the subleased space.

 

- 16 -


  (c) Requirements for Request for Assignment or Sublease; Standards for Consent. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer under Section 19(e) below, in the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part hereof, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease, which notice shall specify: (i) the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (ii) the amount and location of the space affected, (iii) the proposed effective date and duration of the sublease or assignment, and (iv) current financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee. Each request for an assignment or subletting must be accompanied by a processing fee, equal to no less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500) plus reasonable legal fees in an amount not to exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750), in order to reimburse Landlord for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with such request.

In reviewing any request for an assignment of Tenant's interest under this Lease or a sublease of the Premises or a portion thereof, Landlord may take into consideration the credit-worthiness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the purpose for which the proposed assignee or sublessee will use the Premises, and whether the proposed assignee or sublessee is anticipated to require parking in excess of the parking allocated to Tenant under this Lease. Use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by an assignee or sublessee will be consistent with operation and maintenance of a first class office building and will not be in conflict with any other lease in the Building. Consent to one assignment, subleasing or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subleasing or other transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided, no such assignment or sublease shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease regardless of whether such liability arises by or through Tenant. Assignment or subletting shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for a written consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease, and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon any person holding by, under or through Tenant.


  (d) Rent from Assignee or Sublessee. In the event of any sublease or assignment to which Landlord's consent is requested and given, Landlord and Tenant shall share on an equal basis the rent paid by Tenant's sublessee or assignee which is in excess of the rent due under this Lease, on a per rentable square foot basis, after deducting all of Tenant's actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment, including attorneys' fees, commissions, improvements and leasing concessions, which costs shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment. Landlord may, at its election, collect rent directly from an assignee, and, in the event of a default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period by Tenant, from a sublessee.

  (e) Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate ("Affiliate") of Tenant (i.e., an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant, or that becomes a parent, successor or affiliate of Tenant, or is a successor of Tenant by reason of merger, consolidation, public offering, reorganization, dissolution, or sale of stock, membership or partnership interests or assets) shall not require Landlord's consent and shall be deemed a "Permitted Transfer," provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease following the effective date thereof and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease to
  such Affiliate, (ii) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and (iii) such assignment or sublease does not cause Landlord to be in default under any existing lease at the Building.

 

- 17 -


  (f) Landlord's Right to Recapture the Premises. With respect to any request for Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease with respect to, and recapture from Tenant, that portion of the Premises specified in the request for assignment or sublease, as of the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease. In such event, the area of the Premises, as defined in this Lease, shall be decreased by the portion of the Premises specified in such request, and the Monthly Base Rent, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Building and all other amounts in this Lease based on the area of the Premises shall be reduced appropriately. Tenant shall have the right to rescind the Assignment/Sublease if Landlord elects to recapture. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 19(f), or elsewhere in this agreement, shall prevent Tenant from assigning and/or subleasing all or a portion of the Premises, including (but not limited to) that portion of the Premises specified in the request for assignment or sublease, after any exercise by Tenant of its right to rescind the Assignment and/or Sublease as provided hereunder.

20. Signs and Advertising. Tenant shall not inscribe any inscription or post, place, or in any manner display any sign, notice, picture, placard or poster, or any advertising matter whatsoever, anywhere in or about the Premises or the Building at places visible (either directly or indirectly as an outline or shadow on a glass pane) from anywhere outside the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide Tenant with Building standard signage at the following locations: main lobby, floor directory and suite entrance. Landlord shall allow Tenant to install one (1) sign on the Northeast or Northwest corner of the Building subject to (a) Landlord's reasonable approval, and (b) compliance with the signage requirements of the City of Seattle/Fremont as applicable to the Building.


21. Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any lien or claim of lien arising out of any work performed upon or materials furnished to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, or liability resulting from any such lien or claim of lien. In the event any lien or claim of lien is filed against the Building, the Land or the Premises by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant shall, upon the request of Landlord, immediately post in favor of Landlord, at Tenant's expense, a bond in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against all liability, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' and collection agency fees, which Landlord may incur as a result of the lien. Provided that such bond has been furnished to Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and after written notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any lien, encumbrance, or charge against the Premises arising from work done or materials provided to the Premises for or on behalf of Tenant, provided such proceedings suspend the collection thereof and Landlord determines that neither the Premises, the Building nor any part thereof or interest therein is or will be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost.

 

- 18 -


22. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be deemed to be an "Event of Default" by Tenant under this Lease:

  (a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder when due, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required hereunder when due (including any applicable grace period), and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord.

  (b) Tenant becomes insolvent, or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

  (c) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy, or Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant and such petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days.

  (d) A receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant and possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days.

  (e) Tenant abandons, deserts or vacates any substantial portion of the Premises for more than thirty (30) days while tenant is in default under this Lease, except where such abandonment or vacation is due to a constructive eviction by Landlord.

  (f) Tenant fails to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease (other than the foregoing in this Section 22), and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant from Landlord or commence to cure if such failure cannot be cured within thirty (30) days.

23. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 22 above, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever.

  (a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, by any lawful means without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefore, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.

  (b) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, by any lawful means without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and relet the Premises for such terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rentals and upon such other conditions (including concessions and prior occupancy periods) as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and receive the rent therefore; and Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, as required by applicable law. If Landlord is successful in reletting the Premises at rent that is in excess of that agreed to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each mutually agree that Tenant shall not be entitled, under any circumstances, to such excess rent, and Tenant does hereby specifically waive any claim to such excess rent.

 

- 19 -


  (c) Enter upon the Premises, by any lawful means without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease to cure a non-monetary default of Tenant; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may reasonably incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

  (d) Whether or not Landlord retakes possession of or relets the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to recover unpaid rent and all damages caused by Tenant's default, including attorneys' fees. Damages shall include, without limitation: all rentals lost, all reasonable legal expenses and other related costs incurred by Landlord following Tenant's default, all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in restoring the Premises to good order and condition, or in remodeling, renovating or otherwise preparing the Premises for reletting, all costs (including without limitation any brokerage commissions) incurred by Landlord, plus interest thereon from the date of expenditure (in the case of a reimbursement owing by Tenant to Landlord hereunder), or from the date the failure of Tenant to make such payment to Landlord became a default under Section 22(a) above (in the case of any installment of rent or other payment owing by Tenant to Landlord hereunder other than a reimbursement) until fully repaid at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

  (e) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, such remedies being cumulative and non-exclusive, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. No act or thing done by the Landlord or its agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of the payment of rent or other payments due hereunder after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default or of Landlord's right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default.

24. Removal of Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property of any nature whatsoever from the Premises or the Building at the termination of this Lease or when Landlord has the right of re-entry, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store such property without liability for loss thereof or damage thereto, such storage to be for the account and at the expense of Tenant. If Tenant fails to pay the cost of storing any such property after it has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, Landlord, may at its option, sell, or permit to be sold, any or all of such

 

- 20 -


  property at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion deems proper, without notice to Tenant, and shall apply the proceeds of such sale, first to the cost and expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred; second, to the payment of the costs or charges for storing any such property; third, to the payment of any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease, and fourth, the balance, if any, to Tenant.

25. Surrender of Possession. Upon termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender Premises to Landlord.

26. Holdover. If Tenant shall, without the written consent of Landlord, hold over after the expiration of the Lease Term, such tenancy shall be for an indefinite period of time on a month-to-month tenancy, which tenancy may be terminated with thirty (30) days written notice by either party. During such tenancy the Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord an amount equal to 150% of the Monthly Base Rent most recently payable plus all Additional Rent applicable to the holdover period, and to be bound by all terms, covenants and conditions as herein specified, so far as applicable.

27. Subordination to Mortgage. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgage that may hereafter be placed by Landlord upon the Land and Building and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided that the mortgagee named therein shall agree to recognize the Lease of Tenant in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default hereunder. If any mortgagee of the Land and Building wishes to have this Lease a prior lien to its mortgage, then and in such event, upon such mortgagee notifying Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the lien of such mortgage. Within ten (10) business days of presentation, Tenant shall execute any documents which any such mortgagee may reasonably require to effectuate the provisions of this Section 27 and shall execute an estoppel certificate and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement in substantially the forms attached as Exhibit D and Exhibit E, respectively, to this Lease, as requested by Landlord from time to time.

28. Condemnation. If the whole of the Premises, or if such portion of the facilities in the Building as may be required for the reasonable use of the Premises, are taken by virtue of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. Current rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. In case of a taking of a part of the Premises or a portion of the facilities in the Building not required for the reasonable use of the Premises, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the rent payable shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the floor area of the Premises is reduced, such rent reduction to be effective on the date of such partial taking. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising or to the same or any part thereof, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the value of Tenant's leasehold interest, for the interruption of or damage to Tenant's business, for Tenant's moving expenses or for the value of Tenant's property, if any, located in the Premises.

29. Tax On Rents. The Monthly Base Rent stated in Section 1(h) is exclusive of any sales, business and occupation, or any other taxes based upon or measured by rents payable to Landlord hereunder. If, during the Lease Term, any such taxes become payable by Landlord to any

 

- 21 -


  governmental authority, the rent hereunder shall be deemed increased to net Landlord the same rental after payment by Landlord of any such tax as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the imposition of any such tax. The foregoing does not apply to income, inheritance, gift or succession taxes payable by Landlord.

30. Notices. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and delivered in person, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested or sent by reputable overnight courier service, to Landlord or Tenant at the addresses set forth in Section 1(l) above, or such addresses as may hereafter be designated by either party to the other in writing. Notices given in the manner specified shall be deemed given on the date of personal delivery (or the refusal thereof), one (1) business day following deposit with a reputable overnight courier service with directions for delivery next business morning, or three (3) days following deposit in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid.

31. Costs and Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party requires the services of an attorney in connection with enforcing the terms of this Lease, or in the event suit is brought for the recovery of any sums due under this Lease or for the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or for the restitution of the Premises to Landlord or eviction of Tenant during said term or after the expiration thereof, the substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the fees of accountants, appraisers and other professionals, whether at trial, on appeal or without resort to suit.

32. Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not use, generate, treat, store or dispose of Hazardous Material on the Premises or Common Areas of the Building or the Land except in accordance with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises or Common Area. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Material in the Premises or Common Area caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the Premises or Common Area, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses (including without limitation diminution in value of the Premises or Common Area, damages for the loss or restriction on the use of rentable or usable space or of any adverse impact on marketing of space on the Premises or Common Area, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the Lease Term as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency, political subdivision, lender or buyer because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or groundwater in or under the Premises or Common Area, diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises or Common Area, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the building, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees, laboratory fees and expert fees related thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in the Premises or Common Area caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises or Common Area, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises or Common Area to the condition required by applicable law; provided, however, Landlord's approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Landlord represents and warrants that there is no Hazardous Material in the Building or on the Land as of the date of this Lease. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant for any and all liability, loss or damage to person or property Tenant may suffer as a result of the presence of any Hazardous Materials in the Building or on the Land except where caused by Tenant's breach of its obligations under the first paragraph of this Section 32. Landlord hereby warrants no asbestos-containing materials ("ACM") exist in the Building or the Land. Landlord hereby indemnifies, and holds Tenant harmless, from any and all liability, loss, damage or cost associated with the presence or removal of ACM in the Building or the Land. Any costs associated with the removal of ACM shall be considered a capital expense paid for by the Landlord and shall not be included as an Operating Expense. This Section 32 supersedes any other provision in this Lease regarding the condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the              day of                     ,             , by and among (i)                     , a                      ("Tenant"), whose principal address is                     ; (ii)                     , a                      ("Lender"), whose principal address is                     ; and (iii) MICHAEL R. MASTRO, a married man as his separate estate ("Borrower"), whose principal address is 510 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle, Washington 98144.

RECITALS:

A. Lender has agreed to make a mortgage loan (the "Loan") to Borrower in the amount of                      Dollars ($                    ) to be secured by a mortgage or deed of trust (the "Mortgage") on the real property legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property");

B. Tenant is the present lessee under a lease-dated                         , made by Borrower as landlord ("Landlord"), demising a portion of the Premises and other property (said lease and all amendments thereto being referred to as the "Lease");

 

E - 1


C. The Loan terms require that Tenant subordinate the Lease and its interest in the Premises in all respects to the lien of the Mortgage and that Tenant attorn to Lender; and

D. In return, Lender is agreeable to not disturbing Tenant's possession of the portion of the Property covered by the Lease (the "Premises"), so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants contained herein and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS:


1. Subordination. The Lease, and the rights of Tenant in, to and under the Lease and the Premises, are hereby subjected and subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage and to any modification, reinstatement, extension, supplement, consolidation or replacement thereof as well as any advances or re-advances with interest thereon and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust on the Property which may hereafter be held by Lender.

2. Tenant Not to Be Disturbed. In the event it should become necessary to foreclose the Mortgage or Lender should otherwise come into possession of title to the Property, Lender will not join Tenant in summary or foreclosure proceedings unless required by law in order to obtain jurisdiction, but in such event no judgment foreclosing the Lease will be sought, and Lender will not disturb the use and occupancy of Tenant under the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

3. Tenant to Attorn to Lender. Tenant agrees that in the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure of the Mortgage, it will attorn to the purchaser as the landlord under the Lease. The purchaser by virtue of such foreclosure shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to be bound, as substitute landlord, by the terms and conditions of the Lease until the resale or other disposition of its interest by such purchaser, except that such assumption shall not be deemed of itself an acknowledgment by such purchaser of the validity of any then existing claims of Tenant against any prior landlord (including Landlord). All rights and obligations under the Lease shall continue as though such foreclosure proceedings had not been brought, except as aforesaid. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to any such purchaser such further assurance and other documents, including a new lease upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, confirming the foregoing as such purchaser may reasonably request. Tenant waives the provisions (i) contained in the Lease or any other agreement relating thereto, and (ii) of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give it any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect the Lease and the obligations of Tenant thereunder by reason of any foreclosure proceeding.

4. Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Lender nor such other purchaser shall in any event be:

  (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless such nonperformance constitutes a default under the Lease and continues during the period of the Lender's or such other purchaser's ownership of the Property;

 

E - 2


  (b) obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred prior to the time that Lender or such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of such prior landlord under the Lease unless such default continues during the period of the Lender's or such other purchaser's ownership of the Property;

  (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord);

  (d) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance;

  (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the written consent of Lender or, if made following the foreclosure of the Property, such other purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld;

  (f) liable or responsible for, or with respect to, the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until Lender or such other purchaser has actually received for its own account as landlord the full amount of such security deposit; or

  (g) bound by any provision in the Lease which obligates Landlord to erect or complete any building or to perform any construction work or to make any improvements to the Premises or to expand or rehabilitate any existing improvements or to restore any improvements following any casualty or taking or to make a future capital contribution to Tenant.

5. Acknowledgment of Assignment of Lease and Rent. Tenant acknowledges that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned or are to be assigned to Lender as security for the Loan secured by the Mortgage. In the event that Lender notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, Tenant agrees that it will honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Lender or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender upon receipt of such notice and agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability arising out of Tenant's compliance with such notice. Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Lease for any rents or other sums paid to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5 to the same extent as if such rents or other sums were paid directly to Borrower.

6. Limited Liability. Tenant acknowledges that in all events, the liability of Lender and any purchaser shall be limited and restricted to the value of the Property and shall in no event exceed such amount.

7. Lender's Right to Notice of Default and Option to Cure. Tenant will give written notice to Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease by mailing a copy of the same by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows (or to such other address as may be specified from time to time by Lender to Tenant):

   To Lender:      
      Attn.:   

 

   with copies to:      
      Attn.:   

 

Upon such notice, Lender shall be permitted and shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cure any such default during the period of time during which the Landlord would be permitted to cure such default under the Lease.


8. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed these presents the day and year first above written.

(iii) Any delay caused by Tenant (or Tenant's contractors, agents or employees) materially interfering with the performance of Landlord's TI Work, provided that Landlord shall have given Tenant prompt notice of such material interference.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have three (3) business days to cure such delay following written notice thereof from Landlord before any such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

(l) Tenant Improvements: The improvements to or within the Building shown on the Approved Space Plan from time to time and to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Lease and this Workletter. The term "Tenant Improvements" does not include the improvements existing in the Building and Premises at the date of execution of the Lease.

2. Plans and Construction. Landlord and Tenant shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Paragraph 2 in preparing, delivering and approving matters relating to the Tenant Improvements.

Landlord shall, within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Space Plan, provide Tenant written notice of Landlord's approval or disapproval of the same, which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord disapproves of the Space Plan, Landlord, in its notice to Tenant, shall set forth in writing with particularity any changes necessary to bring the proposed Space Plan into a form which will be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall cause the changes reasonably requested by Landlord to be made to the proposed Space Plan within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's notice. The Space Plan shall be deemed approved by Landlord if Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt thereof. This procedure shall be repeated until Landlord ultimately approves, or is deemed to have approved, the Space Plan. As approved, the Space Plan shall be deemed the "Approved Space Plan."

 

G - 2


(ii) Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days following Landlord's approval (or deemed approval) of the Space Plan, prepare or cause to be prepared (assuming timely delivery by Tenant of all information and decisions reasonably required to be furnished or made by Tenant in order to permit preparation of Landlord's Final Working Drawings, and subject to Tenant Delays and Unavoidable Delays), final detailed working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work, including (as applicable) structural, fire protection, life safety, mechanical and electrical working drawings and final architectural drawings (collectively, "Landlord's Final Working Drawings"). Landlord's Final Working Drawings shall be based on and consistent with the Approved Space Plan in all material respects (except as otherwise mutually approved by the parties in their respective discretion). Landlord shall deliver copies of Landlord's Final Working Drawings to Tenant for Tenant's approval and information. Tenant shall promptly and diligently either approve the proposed Landlord's Final Working Drawings, or set forth in writing with particularity any changes necessary to bring the aspects of such proposed plans and specifications or proposed Landlord's Final Working Drawings into a form which will be reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this paragraph, in no event shall Tenant have the right to object to any aspect of the Landlord's Final Working Drawings (including, but not limited to, any subsequently proposed changes therein from time to time) that is (i) materially consistent with the Approved Space Plan, (ii) necessitated by applicable law or as a condition of any governmental or other third-party approvals or consents that are required to be obtained in connection with Landlord's TI Work, or (iii) that is required as a result of unanticipated conditions encountered in the course of construction of Landlord's TI Work, but to the extent Tenant identifies to Landlord any concerns arising out of any such requirements or conditions described in this sentence, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate reasonably, diligently and in good faith to discuss possible changes in the nature or scope of the Tenant Improvements that might minimize or avoid the effects of such requirements or conditions. Failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord written notice of disapproval and specification of required changes on or before any deadline reasonably specified by Landlord (which shall not be less than five (5) days after receipt thereof by Tenant) in delivering an applicable set of plans, specifications and/or drawings to Tenant shall constitute and be deemed to be approval of Landlord's proposed plans and specifications or proposed Landlord's Final Working Drawings, as applicable.

(b) Construction of Landlord's TI Work. Following final approval, or deemed approval, of Landlord's Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall apply for and use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to allow construction of all Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work. Upon receipt of such permits and approvals, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense (subject to Tenant's obligations to pay for the cost of any Tenant required changes to the Approved Space Plan or Landlord's Final Working Drawings), construct and complete the Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work substantially in accordance with the Approved Space Plan, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Such construction shall be performed in a neat, good and workmanlike manner and shall materially conform to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, requirements, covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable thereto in force at the time such work is completed.

(c) Changes.

(i) If Landlord determines at any time that changes in Landlord's Final Working Drawings or in any other aspect of the Approved Space Plan relating to any item of Landlord's TI Work are required as a result of applicable law or governmental requirements, or are required at the insistence

 

G - 3


of any other third party whose approval may be required with respect to the Tenant Improvements, or are required as a result of unanticipated conditions encountered in the course of construction, then Landlord shall promptly (A) advise Tenant of such circumstances and (B) at Landlord's sole cost and expense, cause revised Landlord's Final Working Drawings to be prepared by Landlord's Architect and submitted to Tenant, for Tenant's information.

(ii) If Tenant at any time desires any changes, alterations or additions to the Landlord's Final Working Drawings or material changes to the Approved Space Plan with respect to any of Landlord's TI Work, Tenant shall submit a detailed written request to Landlord specifying such changes, alterations or additions (a "Tenant Change Request"). Upon receipt of any such request, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of (A) whether the matters proposed in the Tenant Change Request are approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord), (B) Landlord's estimate of the number of days of delay, if any, which shall be caused in Landlord's TI Work by such Tenant Change Request if implemented (including, without limitation, delays due to the need to obtain any revised plans or drawings and any governmental approvals), and (C) Landlord's estimate of the increase, if any, which shall occur in the cost of construction of the Landlord's TI Work affected by such Tenant Change Request if such Tenant Change Request is implemented (including, but not limited to, any costs of compliance with laws or governmental regulations that become applicable because of the implementation of the Tenant Change Request). If Landlord approves the Tenant Change Request and Tenant notifies Landlord in writing, within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, of Tenant's approval of the Tenant Change Request (including the estimated delays and cost increases, if any, described in Landlord's notice), then Landlord shall cause such Tenant Change Request to be implemented and Tenant shall be responsible for all actual costs or cost increases resulting from or attributable to the implementation of the Tenant Change Request, and any delays resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's approval of such Tenant Change Request within said five (5) business day period, then such Tenant Change Request shall be deemed to be withdrawn and shall be of no further effect.

(d) Project Management. Unless and until revoked by Landlord by written notice delivered to Tenant, Landlord hereby (i) delegates to Project Manager the authority to exercise all approval rights, supervisory rights and other rights or powers of Landlord under this Workletter with respect to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) requests that Tenant work with Project Manager with respect to any logistical or other coordination matters arising in the course of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including monitoring Tenant's compliance with its obligations under this Workletter and under the Lease with respect to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges the foregoing delegation and request, and agrees to cooperate reasonably with Project Manager as Landlord's representative pursuant to such delegation and request. Fees and charges of Project Manager for such services shall be at Landlord's sole expense.

3. Substantial Completion.

(a) When Landlord receives written certification from Architect that construction of the Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work in the Building has been completed in accordance with the Approved Space Plan (except for Punch List Work), Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a certificate signed by both Landlord and Architect (the "Substantial Completion Certificate") (i) certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work in the Building has been substantially completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Approved Space Plan in all material respects, subject only to completion of Punch List Work, and specifying the date of that completion, and (ii) certifying that Landlord's TI Work complies in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations, codes,

 

G - 4


ordinances, requirements, covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable thereto at the time of such delivery. Upon receipt by Tenant of the Substantial Completion Certificate and tender of possession of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant, the Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work in the Building will be deemed delivered to Tenant and "Substantially Complete" for all purposes of the Lease (subject to Landlord's continuing obligations with respect to any Punch List Work, and to any other express obligations of Landlord under the Lease or this Workletter with respect to such Tenant Improvements).

(b) Promptly following delivery of the Substantial Completion Certificate for Landlord's TI Work in the Building, Project Manager or other representatives of Landlord shall conduct one or more "walkthroughs" of the Building with Tenant and Tenant's representatives, to identify any items of Punch List Work that may require correction and to prepare a joint punch list reflecting any such items, following which Landlord shall diligently complete the Punch List Work reflected in such joint punch list. At any time within forty-five (45) days after delivery of such Substantial Completion Certificate, Tenant shall be entitled to submit one or more lists to Landlord supplementing such joint punch list by specifying any additional items of Punch List Work to be performed on the applicable Tenant Improvements constituting Landlord's TI Work in the Building, and upon receipt of such list(s), Landlord shall diligently complete such additional Punch List Work.

(c) All construction, product and equipment warranties and guaranties obtained by Landlord with respect to Landlord's TI Work shall, to the extent reasonably obtainable, include a provision that such warranties and guaranties shall also run to the benefit of Tenant, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in a commercially reasonable manner to assist in enforcing all such warranties and guaranties for the benefit of Tenant.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Workletter or of the Lease, if Landlord is delayed in substantially completing any of Landlord's TI Work as a result of any Tenant Delay, and if the Lease Commencement Date is being determined under Section 1(c)(i) of the Lease, then notwithstanding any other provisions of the Lease to the contrary, the Premises shall be deemed to have been "Substantially Complete" on the date the Premises would have been "Substantially Complete" absent such Tenant Delay.

4. Landlord Warranty. Landlord warrants the Tenant Improvements against defective workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year following the Substantial Completion thereof. Landlord's sole obligation under this warranty is to repair or replace, as necessary, any defective item of the Tenant Improvements caused by poor workmanship or materials if Tenant notifies Landlord of the defective item during such one year period of time; Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or replace any item after such timeframe. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any maintenance or repairs to the extent made necessary by the modification, failure to maintain, misuse, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, customers or contractors.

5. Payment of Costs. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Workletter or in the Lease or by mutual written agreement of Landlord and Tenant, the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be paid by Landlord.

6. No Agency. Nothing contained in this Workletter shall make or constitute Tenant as the agent of Landlord.

7. Miscellaneous. All references in this Workletter to a number of days shall be construed to refer to calendar days, unless otherwise specified herein. If any item requiring approval is disapproved by Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) in a timely manner, the procedure for preparation of that item and approval shall be repeated.
