ARTICLE 2
PREMISES; TERM;
RENT
Section 2.1 Amended and Restated
Lease of Premises. Subject to the terms of this Amended and
Restated Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from
Landlord the Premises for the Term. In addition, Landlord grants to
Tenant the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis and in common
with others, the Common Areas.
Section 2.2 Commencement
Date. Upon the Effective
Date, the terms and provisions hereof shall be fully binding on
Landlord and Tenant prior to the occurrence of the Commencement
Date. The Term of this Amended and Restated Lease shall commence on
the Commencement Date. Unless sooner terminated or extended as
hereinafter provided, the Term shall end on the Expiration Date. If
Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or
before the Commencement Date or any other particular date, for any
reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage
thereby, this Amended and Restated
5
Lease shall not be void or voidable thereby, and
the Term shall not commence until the Commencement Date. Landlord
shall be deemed to have tendered possession of the relevant portion
of the Premises to Tenant upon the giving of notice by Landlord to
Tenant stating that such portion of the Premises is vacant, in the
condition required by this Amended and Restated Lease and available
for construction of Tenant’s improvement and alterations. No
failure to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before
the Commencement Date shall affect any other obligations of Tenant
hereunder. There shall be no postponement of the Commencement Date
(or the Rent Commencement Date) for any delay in the tender of
possession to Tenant which results from any Tenant Delay. Once the
Commencement Date is determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute
an agreement stating the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date
and Expiration Date, but the failure to do so will not affect the
determination of such dates.
Section 2.3 Payment of
Rent. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, without notice or demand, and without any set-off,
counterclaim, abatement or deduction whatsoever, except as may be
expressly set forth in this Amended and Restated Lease, in lawful
money of the United States by check or wire transfer of funds,
(i) Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance, on
the first day of each month during the Term, commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date, and (ii) Additional Rent, at the times and
in the manner set forth in this Amended and Restated
Lease.
Section 2.4 First Month’s
Rent. Tenant shall pay
one month’s Fixed Rent as to Suites 1900 and 2000 upon the
execution of this Amended and Restated Lease ( “Suites
1900 and 2000 Advance Rent” ). The Suites 1900 and 2000
Advance Rent shall be credited towards the first month’s
Fixed Rent payment as to Suites 1900 and 2000, after application of
three months of free rent on the Premises (then consisting of
Suites 1800, 1900 and 2000). If the Rent Commencement Date is not
the first day of a month, then on the Rent Commencement Date Tenant
shall pay Fixed Rent for the period from the Rent Commencement Date
through the last day of such month, and the Advance Rent shall be
credited towards Fixed Rent for the next succeeding calendar
month.
Section 2.5 Unused Landlord
Contribution. Tenant
shall have the right to request that up to $259,700 of the Landlord
Contribution, to the extent not expended for the completion of the
Initial Installations, be credited towards amounts owed with
respect to Fixed Rent; provided that: (i) such request shall
not be made prior to the later of April 1, 2012 or the date
upon which the Commencement Date for Suite 2050 occurs and shall be
made within two months of such later date, (ii) such credit
shall not commence until all of the Initial Installations
contemplated for the Premises by the Final Plans have been
completed and final payments made in accordance with Section 3
of the Work Letter and (iii) such amounts shall be applied in
consecutive months until such time as the full amount of Landlord
Contribution available for credit towards Fixed Rent has been so
applied.
Section 2.6 Lunchroom
Fee. In addition to the
payment of Rent, from the Commencement Date for Suite 2000 through
April 1, 2012, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the time for
payment of Fixed Rent, one hundred dollars ($100) per month, in
consideration for Tenant’s access to and right to use the
lunchroom located within Suite 2050 during such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained
in this Amended and Restated Lease, Suite 2050 shall not be deemed
included in the Premises until April 1, 2012.

ARTICLE 3
USE AND OCCUPANCY
Tenant shall use and occupy the
Premises for the Permitted Uses and for no other purpose. Tenant
shall not use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any part
of the Premises in a manner constituting a Prohibited Use. If
Tenant uses the Premises for a purpose constituting a Prohibited
Use, violating any Requirement, or causing the Building to be in
violation of any Requirement, then Tenant shall promptly
discontinue such use upon notice of such violation. Tenant, at its
expense, shall procure and at all times maintain and comply with
the terms and conditions of all licenses and permits required for

the Premises in their condition existing on the date hereof
“as is”, and (b) that except for Landlord’s

possession was taken, the Premises and the Building were in a good
and satisfactory condition as required by this Amended and Restated
Lease. The requirements and conditions for Alterations contained in
Article 5 of the Lease shall not apply to the Initial

physical changes in or about the Premises (collectively,
“Alterations” ) other than decorative

unreasonably withheld if such Alterations (i) are
non-structural and do not affect any Building Systems,
(ii) affect only the Premises and are not visible from outside
of the Premises, (iii) do not affect the certificate of
occupancy issued for the Building or the Premises, and (iv) do
not violate any Requirement.

and business auto insurance and Builder’s Risk coverage (as
described in Article 11) all in such form, with such
companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may
reasonably require, naming Landlord, Landlord’s Agent, any
Lessor and any Mortgagee as additional insureds, and

Tenant’s ability to complete and to fully pay for such
Alterations (other than Decorative Alterations). Landlord shall
have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Plans within
which to approve or disapprove of the Plans. If Landlord
disapproves any Plans, Landlord will provide reasonably detailed
grounds for such disapproval. Tenant shall give Landlord not less
than 5 Business Days’ notice prior to performing any
Decorative Alteration, which notice shall contain a description of
such Decorative Alteration.
(c) Governmental Approvals. Tenant, at its
expense, shall, as and when required, promptly obtain certificates
of partial and final approval of such Alterations required by any
Governmental Authority and shall furnish Landlord with copies
thereof, together with “as-built” Plans for such
Alterations prepared on an AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and
Design System (or such other system or medium as Landlord may
accept), using naming conventions issued by the American Institute
of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other naming conventions
as Landlord may accept) and computer media of such record drawings
and specifications translated in DFX format or another format
acceptable to Landlord.
Section 5.2 Manner and Quality of
Alterations. All
Alterations shall be performed (a) in a good and workmanlike
manner and free from defects, (b) substantially in accordance
with the Plans, and by contractors approved by Landlord,
(c) in compliance with all Requirements, the terms of this
Amended and Restated Lease and all construction procedures and
regulations then prescribed by Landlord, and (d) at
Tenant’s expense. All materials and equipment shall be of
first quality and at least equal to the applicable standards for
the Building then established by Landlord, and no such materials or
equipment (other than Tenant’s Property) shall be subject to
any lien or other encumbrance. Upon completion of any Alterations
hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all
construction contracts, proof of payment for all labor and
materials, and final unconditional waivers of lien from all
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers and others
having lien rights with respect to such Alterations, in the form
prescribed by Washington law.
Section 5.3 Removal of
Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s Property shall remain the
property of Tenant and Tenant may remove the same at any time on or
before the Expiration Date. On or prior to the Expiration Date,
Tenant shall, unless otherwise directed by Landlord, at
Tenant’s expense, remove any Tenant’s Property and
Specialty Alterations and close up any slab penetrations in the
Premises made by Tenant (but excluding any Specialty Alterations or
slab penetrations existing in the Premises as of the Commencement
Date as to the various Suites comprising the Premises and not made
by Tenant). Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and
workmanlike manner, any damage to the Premises or the Building
caused by Tenant’s removal of any Alterations or
Tenant’s Property or by the closing of any slab penetrations
(as required above), and upon default thereof, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s cost of repairing and
restoring such damage. Any Specialty Alterations or Tenant’s
Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and Landlord may
retain or remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any
damage caused thereby, at Tenant’s cost and without
accountability to Tenant. All other Alterations shall become
Landlord’s property upon
8
termination of this Amended and Restated Lease.
All cabling for voice and data shall remain in the Building and
Premises, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord or any other
party for any cost or expense relating to such cabling incurred
after the Expiration Date.
Section 5.4 Mechanic’s
Liens. Tenant, at its
expense, shall discharge any lien or charge recorded or filed
against the Real Property in connection with any work done or
claimed to have been done by or on behalf of, or materials
furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, within 30
days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof by payment, by
procuring and recording a lien release bond issued by a responsible
corporate surety in an amount sufficient to satisfy statutory
requirements therefor in the State of Washington or otherwise in
accordance with law.
Section 5.5 Labor
Relations. Tenant shall
not employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic
or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in
the Building, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, such
employment, delivery or use will interfere or cause any conflict
with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the
construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord,
Tenant or others. If such interference or conflict occurs, upon
Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors,
mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to
leave the Building immediately.
Section 5.6 Tenant’s
Costs. Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, upon demand, all out-of-pocket costs actually incurred
by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s Alterations,
including costs incurred in connection with
(a) Landlord’s review of the Alterations (including
review of requests for approval thereof) and (b) the provision
of Building personnel during the performance of any Alteration, to
operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate Tenant’s
Alterations. In addition, if Tenant’s Alterations (excluding
Decorative Alterations) cost more than $25,000, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, upon demand, an administrative fee in an amount equal to
three percent (3%) of the total cost of such Alterations,
excluding costs of the types identified as “soft costs”
under the Work Letter. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord reasonable supporting documentation evidencing
the hard and soft costs incurred by Tenant in designing and
constructing any Alterations.
Section 5.7 Tenant’s
Equipment. Tenant shall
provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any heavy machinery,
heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively,
“Equipment” ) into or out of the Building and
shall pay to Landlord any costs actually incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling,
Tenant agrees (a) to employ only persons holding all necessary
licenses to perform such work, (b) all work performed in
connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements
and (c) such work shall be done only during hours designated
by Landlord.
Section 5.8 Legal
Compliance. The approval
of Plans, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations,
does not constitute Landlord’s representation that such Plans
or Alterations comply with any Requirements. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant or any other party in connection with
Landlord’s approval of any Plans, or Landlord’s consent
to Tenant’s performing any Alterations. If any Alterations
made by or on behalf of Tenant require Landlord to make any
alterations or improvements to any part of the Building in order to
comply with any Requirements, Tenant shall pay all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such alterations
or improvements.
Section 5.9 Floor
Load. Tenant shall not
place a load upon any floor of the Premises that exceeds 50 pounds
per square foot “live load”. Landlord reserves the
right to reasonably
9
designate the position of all Equipment which
Tenant wishes to place within the Premises, and to place
limitations on the weight thereof.
ARTICLE 6
REPAIRS
Section 6.1
Landlord’s Repair and
Maintenance. Landlord shall operate, maintain and, except as
provided in Section 6.2 hereof, make all necessary repairs
(both structural and nonstructural) to (i) the Building
Systems and (ii) the Common Areas, in conformance with
standards applicable to Comparable Buildings.
Section 6.2
Tenant’s Repair and
Maintenance. Tenant shall promptly, at its expense and in
compliance with Article 5 including, without limitation, the
requirement that any repairs affecting any Building System be
reviewed and approved by Landlord’s designated engineer for
the affected Building System, make all nonstructural repairs to the
Premises and the fixtures, equipment and appurtenances therein
(including all electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning, sprinklers and life safety systems in and serving the
Premises from the point of connection to the Building Systems)
(collectively, “Tenant Fixtures” ) as and when
needed to preserve the Premises in good working order and
condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage which is
Landlord’s obligation to repair pursuant to the express
provisions of this Amended and Restated Lease. All damage to the
Building or to any portion thereof, or to any Tenant Fixtures,
requiring structural or nonstructural repair caused by or resulting
from any act, omission, neglect or improper conduct of a Tenant
Party or the moving of Tenant’s Property or Equipment into,
within or out of the Premises by a Tenant Party, shall be repaired
at Tenant’s expense by (i) Tenant, if the required
repairs are nonstructural in nature and do not affect any Building
System, or (ii) Landlord, if the required repairs are
structural in nature, involve replacement of exterior window glass
or affect any Building System. All Tenant repairs shall be of good
quality utilizing new construction materials.
Section 6.3
Reserved Rights. Landlord
reserves the right to make all changes, alterations, additions,
improvements, repairs or replacements to the Building and Building
Systems, including changing the arrangement or location of
entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators,
stairs, toilets or other Common Areas (collectively, “Work
of Improvement” ), as Landlord deems necessary or
desirable, and to take all materials into the Premises required for
the performance of such Work of Improvement, provided that
(a) the level of any Building service shall not decrease in
any material respect from the level required of Landlord in this
Amended and Restated Lease as a result thereof (other than
temporary changes in the level of such services during the
performance of any such Work of Improvement), and (b) Tenant
is not deprived of access to the Premises. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use
and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of such Work
of Improvement. Provided that Landlord complies with the provisions
of this Lease, there shall be no Rent abatement or allowance to
Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive
eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of
Tenant’s other obligations under this Amended and Restated
Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from
Landlord, Tenant or others performing, or failing to perform, any
Work of Improvement except as hereinafter provided. If
(i) Landlord undertakes any such Work of Improvement in the
Premises pursuant to this Section 6.3 which is not required by
any Governmental Authority or required as a result of any act or
omission of Tenant, (ii) as a direct result of such renovation
or other work, the Premises or any substantial part thereof
are
10
rendered unusable for seven (7) consecutive
Business Days, and (iii) Tenant actually ceases to conduct its
business therein (or in the unusable portion thereof), then the
Fixed Rent which the Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder shall
abate proportionately (based on the number of rentable square feet
rendered unusable) for the period beginning on the first
(1st) Business Day that the Premises are unusable and such
abatement shall continue until use of such portion of the Premises
is restored to Tenant.
ARTICLE 7
INCREASES IN TAXES AND OPERATING
EXPENSES
Section 7.1
Definitions. For the purposes
of this Article 7, the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below:
(a) “Assessed Valuation” shall
mean the amount for which the Real Property is assessed by the
County Assessor of King County, Washington for the purpose of
imposition of Taxes.
(b) “Base Operating Expenses”
shall mean the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.
(c) “Base Taxes” shall mean the
Taxes payable for the Base Year.
(d) “Comparison Year” shall mean
each calendar year commencing subsequent to the Base
Year.
(e) “Operating Expenses” shall
mean the aggregate of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by or
on behalf of Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation,
repair and maintenance of the Real Property, as such costs and
expenses are allocated by Landlord in its reasonable judgment
between the Building, which costs and expenses may include, without
limitation, the following: (i) the rental value of
Landlord’s Building office, (ii) the cost of insurance
premiums and related charges, including premiums for coverage with
respect to terrorist acts and occurrences, and (iii) capital
improvements incurred after the Base Year only if such capital
improvement either (A) is reasonably intended to result in a
reduction in Operating Expenses (as for example, a labor-saving
improvement), provided the amount included in Operating Expenses in
any Comparison Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the savings
reasonably anticipated to result from the installation and
operation of such improvement, and/or (B) is made during any
Comparison Year in compliance with Requirements which became
effective (whether through adoption, promulgation, application,
interpretation by the applicable Governmental Authority or
otherwise) after the date of this Amended and Restated Lease. Such
capital improvements shall be amortized (with interest at the Base
Rate) on a straight-line basis over such period as Landlord shall
reasonably determine, and the amount included in Operating Expenses
in any Comparison Year shall be equal to the annual amortized
amount. Operating Expenses shall not include any Excluded Expenses.
If during all or part of the Base Year or any Comparison Year,
Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or
service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense) to
any leasable portions of the Building for any reason and the cost
of such item(s) of work or service vary with the Building’s
occupancy level, then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses
for such period, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such
period shall be increased by an amount equal to the costs and
expenses that Landlord reasonably determines would have been
incurred by Landlord during such period if Landlord had furnished
such item(s) of work or
11
service to such portion of the
Building; provided, however, if the result of such computation
would be to have Landlord’s recoveries for such items exceed
the actual cost of such items, then the foregoing amount shall be
reduced by such excess. If Landlord eliminates from Operating
Expenses for any Comparison Year a recurring category of expenses
previously included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year,
Landlord may subtract such category from Operating Expenses for the
Base Year commencing with such Comparison Year, and if Landlord
introduces to Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year a new
recurring category of expenses previously excluded from the
Operating Expenses for the Base Year, Landlord shall add an
appropriate entry as a category of expense to Operating Expenses
for the Base Year commencing with such Comparison Year. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord eliminates
from Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year any particular type
of insurance included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year, or
if Landlord reduces the level of insurance coverage during any
Comparison Year from that carried during the Base Year, then
Landlord may adjust the amount of any insurance premium included in
Operating Expenses for the Base Year to equal that amount which
Landlord reasonably estimates it would have incurred had Landlord
maintained similar types and levels of insurance during the Base
Year as maintained by Landlord during such Comparison Year. In
determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Year or
any Comparison Year, if less than 95% of the Building rentable area
is occupied by tenants at any time during any such Base Year or
Comparison Year, Operating Expenses which vary with the
Building’s occupancy level shall be determined for such Base
Year or Comparison Year to be an amount equal to the like expenses
which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy
been 95% throughout the Base Year or such Comparison Year;
provided, however, if the result of such computation would be to
have Landlord’s recoveries for such items exceed the actual
cost of such items, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced by
such excess. Without limiting the foregoing, in calculating the
Base Operating Expenses, Landlord shall include the cost of
premiums for insurance coverages with respect to terrorist acts and
occurrences (collectively, “Terrorist Coverage Insurance
Premiums”) payable with respect to the Base Year; provided,
however, thereafter Landlord may elect to reduce the Base Operating
Expenses by an amount equal to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Premium
Reduction (as hereinafter defined); provided, further, if the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “Terrorism
Act”) expires or is repealed, or the benefits intended to be
provided by the Terrorism Act are no longer available to Landlord
in any material respect, then commencing with the first Comparison
Year in which the Terrorism Coverage Insurance Premiums are
affected by such expiration, repeal or material unavailability (the
“Expiration Year”), Landlord shall readjust the
calculation of Base Operating Expenses to include the lesser of
(i) Terrorism Coverage Insurance Premiums payable with respect
to the Base Year, or (ii) the Terrorism Coverage Insurance
Premiums payable with respect to the Expiration Year, without
regard to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Premium Reduction. The
“Terrorism Risk Insurance Premium Reduction” shall mean
the amount by which the Terrorism Coverage Insurance Premiums for
the Base Year exceed the Terrorism Coverage Insurance Premiums for
the next succeeding Comparison Year with respect to which the
benefits intended to be provided by the Terrorism Act are available
to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
Landlord recover from all tenants of the Building in any Comparison
Year more than one hundred percent (100%) of the actual
Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord for such Comparison
Year.
(f) “Statement” shall mean a
statement containing a comparison of (i) Base Taxes and the
Taxes for any Comparison Year, or (ii) Base Operating Expenses
and the Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year.
12
(g) “Taxes” shall mean
(i) all real estate taxes, assessments, sewer and water rents,
rates and charges and other governmental levies, impositions or
charges, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary,
foreseen or unforeseen, which may be assessed, levied or imposed
upon all or any part of the Real Property, and (ii) all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and experts’ and other witnesses’ fees)
incurred in contesting any of the foregoing or the Assessed
Valuation of the Real Property (but such expenses will not be
included in Base Taxes if incurred during the Base Year). Taxes
shall not include (x) interest or penalties incurred by
Landlord as a result of Landlord’s late payment of Taxes, or
(y) franchise, transfer, gift, inheritance, estate or net
income taxes imposed upon Landlord. If Landlord elects to pay any
assessment in annual installments, then (i) such assessment
shall be deemed to have been so divided and to be payable in the
maximum number of installments permitted by law, and
(ii) there shall be deemed included in Taxes for each
Comparison Year the installments of such assessment becoming
payable during such Comparison Year, together with interest payable
during such Comparison Year on such installments and on all
installments thereafter becoming due as provided by law, all as if
such assessment had been so divided. If at any time the methods of
taxation prevailing on the Effective Date shall be altered so that
in lieu of or as an addition to the whole or any part of Taxes,
there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax,
assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents
received from the Real Property whether or not wholly or partially
as a capital levy or otherwise, (2) a tax, assessment, levy,
imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon
all or any part of the Real Property and imposed upon Landlord,
(3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other
tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however
described or imposed, including business improvement district
impositions, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions,
charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based
shall be deemed to be Taxes; provided, that Washington State
business and occupation tax assessed against Landlord on rental
receipts pursuant to this Amended and Restated Lease shall not be
included as “Taxes” for purposes of this
Section 7.1.
Section 7.2
Tenant’s Tax Payment.
(a) If the Taxes payable for any Comparison Year exceed
the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of such excess ( “Tenant’s Tax
Payment” ). For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord’s
reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such
Comparison Year (the “Tax Estimate” ). Tenant
shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month during such
Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate for
such Comparison Year. If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a
Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then
(i) until the 1 st day of the month following the month in which
the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on the 1 st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly
sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2
during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year,
(ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or
together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating
whether the installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate previously
made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the
installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate to be made for such
Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and
(x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the
amount thereof within 20 Business Days after demand therefor, or
(y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall
credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due
hereunder, and (iii) on the 1 st day of the month following the month in which
the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the 1
st day of each month thereafter throughout the
remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate. Landlord shall have the
right, upon not less than 30
13
days prior written notice to Tenant, to
reasonably adjust the Tax Estimate from time to time during any
Comparison Year.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord
has determined the Taxes for a Comparison Year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a Statement for such Comparison Year. If the
Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant under
Section 7.2(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s
Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the
amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due
hereunder (and/or shall refund such excess to Tenant by check to
the extent the excess is greater than the rental due for the
remaining term of the Amended and Restated Lease or if the Amended
and Restated Lease has expired). If the Statement for such
Comparison Year shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were
less than Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year,
Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 20 Business
Days after delivery of the Statement of Tenant.
(c) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to
reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Real Property and the filings
of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent
shall constitute an Event of Default. If the Taxes payable for the
Base Year are reduced, the Base Taxes shall be correspondingly
revised, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account
of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years
shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord within 20 Business Days after being billed
therefor, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent
previously computed and paid by Tenant to Landlord, and the amount
due as a result of such recomputations. If Landlord receives a
refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit
against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal
to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund, net of any
expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which
amount shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such
Comparison Year. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any
application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in
Taxes or the Assessed Valuation. The benefit of any exemption or
abatement relating to all or any part of the Real Property shall
accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes shall be
computed without taking into account any such exemption or
abatement.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable
occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if
such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such
amounts to Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand.
(e) Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenant’s
Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the
payment of any Taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement or
exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any Governmental
Authority, or by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic or other
tax-exempt status.
Section 7.3
Tenant’s Operating Payment.
(a) If the Operating Expenses payable for any Comparison
Year exceed the Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (
“Tenant’s Operating Payment” ). For each
Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement
setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of
Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year (the
“Expense Estimate” ). Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on the 1 st day of each month during such Comparison Year an
amount equal to 1/12 of the Expense Estimate. If Landlord furnishes
an Expense Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the
commencement thereof, then (i) until the 1
st day of the month following the month in which
the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant,
14
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1
st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly
sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.3
during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year,
(ii) promptly after the Expense Estimate is furnished to
Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant
stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating
Payment previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or
less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to
be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Expense
Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall
pay the amount thereof within 20 Business Days after demand
therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment,
Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent
payments of Rent due hereunder, and (iii) on the 1
st day of the month following the month in which
the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the 1
st day of each month thereafter throughout the
remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to 1/12 of the Expense Estimate. Landlord shall have
the right, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to
Tenant, to reasonably adjust the Expense Estimate from time to time
during any Comparison Year.
(b) On or before May 1 st of
each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement
for the immediately preceding Comparison Year. If the Statement
shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a)
exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating Payment for
such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such
excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder (and/or
shall refund such excess to Tenant by check to the extent the
excess is greater than the rental due for the remaining term of the
Amended and Restated Lease or if the Amended and Restated Lease has
expired). If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant
were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison
Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 20
Business Days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant.
Section 7.4
Non-Waiver; Disputes.
(a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement on a
timely basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not
prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Statement
with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison
Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice
Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement
for that Comparison Year.
(b) Each Statement sent to Tenant shall be
conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant (i) pays to
Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without
prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute such Statement, and
(ii) within 120 days after such Statement is sent, sends a
notice to Landlord objecting to such Statement and specifying the
reasons therefor, in which case Tenant and its accountants shall
have the right to review Landlord’s books and records
applicable to such Statement. With respect to each Statement,
Landlord will maintain its applicable books and records for a
period of at least three (3) years after such Statement is
delivered to Tenant and thereafter during the pendency of any
review thereof by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
Tenant agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any
dispute under this Amended and Restated Lease, any person or entity
who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingency fee
basis. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute as to the
correctness of such Statement within 30 days following such notice
of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to one of
the nationally recognized public accounting firms selected by
Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and the decision of
such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and
Tenant. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants shall
execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby
such parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the
information
15
obtained in connection with such
review. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to such
procedure, unless such accountants determine that Landlord
overstated Operating Expenses by more than 3% for such Comparison
Year, in which case Landlord shall pay such fees and expenses.
Except as provided in this Section 7.4, Tenant shall have no
right whatsoever to dispute, by judicial proceeding or otherwise,
the accuracy of any Statement.
(c) In addition, if the accounting firm selected by
Landlord and Tenant as set forth above concludes that Landlord has
overstated any item or items of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes for
such year in excess of three percent (3%), Tenant may, within one
hundred-eighty (180) days following receipt of such
firm’s written report, review Landlord’s books and
records for the two (2) prior years whether or not theretofore
reviewed, solely to determine whether any such item or items have
also been overstated in any of such two (2) prior years. All
such review activities shall also be subject to the confidentiality
agreement described above.
Section 7.5
Proration. If the Rent
Commencement Date is not January 1, and provided that the Rent
Commencement Date does not occur in the Base Year, Tenant’s
Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment for the Comparison
Year in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be
apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from the
Rent Commencement Date to the following December 31. If the
Expiration Date occurs on a date other than December 31
st , Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s
Operating Payment for the Comparison Year in which such Expiration
Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days
in the period from January 1 st to
the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Amended and Restated Lease, any Additional Rent under this
Article 7 shall be adjusted or paid within 30 days after
submission of the Statement for the last Comparison Year. Landlord
shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some
or all of the Taxes and/or Operating Expenses for the Real Property
among different portions or occupants of the Real Property (the
“Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited
to, the office space tenants of the Real Property and the retail
space tenants of the Real Property. The Taxes and/or Operating
Expenses allocable to each such Cost Pool shall be allocated to
such Cost Pool and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in
an equitable manner.
Section 7.6 No Reduction in
Rent. In no event shall
any decrease in Operating Expenses or Taxes in any Comparison Year
below the Base Operating Expenses or Base Taxes, as the case may
be, result in a reduction in the Fixed Rent or any component of
Additional Rent payable hereunder.
ARTICLE 8
REQUIREMENTS OF
LAW
Section 8.1 Compliance with
Requirements.
(a) Tenant’s Compliance. Tenant, at its
expense, shall comply with all Requirements applicable to the
Premises and/or Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof; provided,
however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any
Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building
unless the application of such Requirements arises from
(i) the specific manner and/or nature of Tenant’s use or
occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use,
(ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by
Tenant of any provisions of this Amended and Restated Lease. Any
repairs or alterations required for compliance with applicable
Requirements shall be made at Tenant’s expense (1) by
Tenant in
16
compliance with Article 5 if
such repairs or alterations are nonstructural and do not affect any
Building System, and to the extent such repairs or alterations do
not affect areas outside the Premises, or (2) by Landlord if
such repairs or alterations are structural or affect any Building
System, or to the extent such repairs or alterations affect areas
outside the Premises. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any failure to
comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, Tenant
shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof.
(b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not
cause or permit (i) any Hazardous Materials to be brought into
the Building, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials
in or about the Building or Premises (subject to the second
sentence of this Section 8.1(b)), or (iii) the escape,
disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials within or in the
vicinity of the Building. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent
Tenant’s use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in
the ordinary course of office work, provided such use is in
accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at
its expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or
arising or resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials in
the Building which is caused or permitted by a Tenant Party. Tenant
shall provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by
Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous
Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord
or its agents may perform environmental inspections of the Premises
at any time.
(c) Landlord’s Compliance. Landlord
shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all Requirements
applicable to the Building which are not the obligation of Tenant,
to the extent that non-compliance would materially impair
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted
Uses.
(d) Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall
not cause or permit any action or condition that would
(i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance
policies, (ii) violate applicable rules, regulations and
guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating
Organization or any other authority having jurisdiction over the
Building, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of insurance
for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable
Buildings, or (iv) result in Landlord’s insurance
companies’ refusing to insure the Building or any property
therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by
Landlord. If insurance premiums increase as a result of
Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this
Section 8.1, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall
reimburse Landlord for the increased insurance premiums paid by
Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.
Section 8.2
Fire and Life Safety.
Landlord shall maintain in good order and repair the sprinkler,
fire-alarm and life-safety system in the Premises. If the Fire
Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental Authority or any
of Landlord’s insurers requires or recommends any
modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional
equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or
fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Building by reason of
Tenant’s business, any Alterations performed by Tenant or the
location of the partitions, Tenant’s Property, or other
contents of the Premises, Landlord shall make such modifications
and/or Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, at
Tenant’s expense.
ARTICLE 9
SUBORDINATION
Section 9.1
Subordination and Attornment.
(a) This Amended and Restated Lease is subject and
subordinate to all Mortgages and Superior Leases, and, at the
request of
17
any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn to
such Mortgagee or Lessor, its successors in interest or any
purchaser in a foreclosure sale.
(b) If a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or
entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Amended
and Restated Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure
action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request
of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s
written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to
recognize Tenant’s interest under this Amended and Restated
Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and recognized
such successor landlord as Landlord under this Amended and Restated
Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.1 are self-operative
and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided,
however, that Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any
instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request
(i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the
terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and
(iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be
reasonably required by such Mortgagee or Lessor, provided such
terms and conditions do not increase the Rent, increase any of
Tenant’s other obligations under this Amended and Restated
Lease or adversely affect any of Tenant’s rights under this
Amended and Restated Lease. Upon such attornment this Amended and
Restated Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct
lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the
terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Amended and
Restated Lease except that such successor landlord shall not
be
(i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord
(except to the extent such act or omission continues beyond the
date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s
interest and Tenant gives notice of such act or
omission);
(ii) bound by any prepayment of more than one
month’s Rent to any prior landlord; or
(iii) liable for the repayment of any security deposit
or surrender of any letter of credit, unless and until such
security deposit actually is paid or such letter of credit is
actually delivered to such successor landlord.
(c) Tenant shall from time to time within 10 days of
request from Landlord execute and deliver any documents or
instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or
Lessor to confirm any subordination; provided, however, that any
obligation of Tenant to enter into any written subordination
agreement in favor of a Mortgagee or Lessor with respect to this
Amended and Restated Lease shall be subject to the written
agreement of the Mortgagee or Lessor to not disturb Tenant’s
right of possession of the Premises and other rights hereunder upon
a foreclosure of the subject Mortgage or upon the taking of any
action under a Superior Lease such that the Lessor shall succeed to
the rights of Landlord under this Amended and Restated
Lease.
Section 9.2
Mortgage or Superior Lease
Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Amended and
Restated Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon
notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this Amended and Restated
Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage,
regardless of the date of this Amended and Restated
Lease.
Section 9.3
Tenant’s Termination
Right. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, Tenant
shall not seek to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease by
reason of any act or omission of Landlord until (a) Tenant
shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Lessors
and/or Mortgagees, and (b) a reasonable period of time shall
have
18
elapsed following the giving of notice of such
default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace
periods (unless such act or omission is not capable of being
remedied within a reasonable period of time), but in all events not
to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, during which period
such Lessors and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to remedy such act or omission and thereafter
diligently proceed to so remedy such act or omission. If any Lessor
or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord,
Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease
so long as such Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable
diligence to effect such remedy.
Section 9.4
Provisions. The provisions of
this Article 9 shall (a) inure to the benefit of
Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property,
Lessor or Mortgagee and any sublessor thereof and (b) apply
notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Amended and Restated
Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease
or Mortgage.
Section 9.5 Future Condominium
Declaration. This Amended
and Restated Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder are and will
be subject and subordinate to any condominium declaration, by-laws
and other instruments (collectively, the
“Declaration” ) which may be recorded in order
to permit a condominium form of ownership of the Building pursuant
to the Washington Condominium Act, RCW 64.34.005-950, or any
successor Requirement, provided that the Declaration does not
increase the Rent, increase any of Tenant’s other obligations
under this Amended and Restated Lease or adversely affect any of
Tenant’s rights under this Amended and Restated Lease. At
Landlord’s request, and subject to the foregoing proviso,
Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment of this
Amended and Restated Lease confirming such subordination and
modifying this Amended and Restated Lease to conform to such
condominium regime.
ARTICLE 10
SERVICES
Section 10.1
Electricity. Subject to
any Requirements or any public utility rules or regulations
governing energy consumption, Landlord shall make or cause to be
made, customary arrangements with utility companies and/or public
service companies to furnish electric current to the Premises for
Tenant’s use in accordance with the Design Standards. If
Landlord reasonably determines by the use of an electrical
consumption survey or by other reasonable means that Tenant is
using electric current (including overhead fluorescent fixtures) in
excess of .60 kilowatt hours per square foot of usable area in the
Premises per month, as determined on an annualized basis (
“Excess Electrical Usage” ), then Landlord shall
have the right to charge Tenant an amount equal to Landlord’s
reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Excess Electrical Usage, and
shall have the further right to install an electric current meter,
sub-meter or check meter in the Premises (a
“Meter” ) to measure the amount of electric
current consumed in the Premises. The cost of such Meter, special
conduits, wiring and panels needed in connection therewith and the
installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by
Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time, but no
more frequently than monthly, for its Excess Electrical Usage at
the Premises, plus Landlord’s charge equal to 15% of
Tenant’s Excess Electrical Usage for Landlord’s costs
of maintaining, repairing and reading such Meter. The rate to be
paid by Tenant for submetered electricity shall include any taxes
or other charges in connection therewith.
Section 10.2
Excess Electricity. Tenant
shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the
utility company supplying electricity to the Building. Tenant shall
not use any
19
electrical equipment which, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, would exceed the capacity of the electrical
equipment serving the Premises. If Landlord determines that
Tenant’s electrical requirements necessitate installation of
any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution
equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”
), or if Tenant provides Landlord with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s need for excess
electricity and requests that additional Electrical Equipment be
installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install such
additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord, in its
sole judgment, determines that (a) such installation is
practicable and necessary, (b) such additional Electrical
Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and
(c) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not
cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or
create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable
alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other
tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the
switchgear or other facilities serving the Building, or require
power in excess of that available from the utility company serving
the Building.
Section 10.3
Elevators. Landlord shall
provide passenger elevator service to the Premises 24 hours per
day, 7 days per week; provided, however, Landlord may limit
passenger elevator service during times other than Ordinary
Business Hours. Landlord shall provide at least one freight
elevator serving the Premises, available upon Tenant’s prior
request, on a non-exclusive “first come, first serve”
basis with other Building tenants, on all Business Days from
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding Tuesdays from 1:00 pm
to 3:00 pm, which hours of operation are subject to
change.
Section 10.4
Heating. Ventilation and Air
Conditioning. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning ( “HVAC” ) in
accordance with the Design Standards set forth in
Exhibit D during Ordinary Business Hours. Landlord
shall have access to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine
rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations
of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical
Installations” ), and Tenant shall not construct
partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with
Landlord’s access thereto or the moving of Landlord’s
equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party
shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper
with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations.
Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to
provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises
in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any
equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an
electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human
occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any
rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or
performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall install, if
missing, blinds or shades on all windows, which blinds and shades
shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, and shall keep
operable windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when
necessary because of the sun’s position, whenever the HVAC
System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement.
Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules
and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the
proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System. Tenant
acknowledges that the server room in the Premises currently has
three heat pumps installed, being two 4-ton units, and one 2.5-ton
unit (the “Existing Heat Pumps” ). The 2.5-ton
unit is currently connected and operational. Tenant shall determine
whether it is satisfied with the condition of the Existing Heat
Pumps and Landlord shall not have any responsibility or liability
for the condition, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of
the Existing Heat Pumps. Tenant may operate the Existing Heat
Pumps. Tenant shall be responsible for, and pay directly for, all
necessary maintenance and repairs to the Existing Heat Pumps.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord monthly for the cost of all utility
services used to operate the Existing Heat Pumps within 10
Business
20
Days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice
for such amount. Landlord may measure Tenant’s usage of such
utility services by either a sub-meter or by other reasonable
methods such as by temporary check meters or by survey. Tenant, at
its cost, may replace the Existing Heat Pumps with one or more new
heat pumps, provided, however, that the capacity of such
replacement heat pump(s) shall not exceed the 10.5-ton capacity
cooling capacity of the Existing Heat Pumps.
Section 10.5
Overtime Freight Elevators and
HVAC. The Fixed Rent does not include any charge to Tenant for
the furnishing of any freight elevator service or HVAC to the
Premises during any periods other than as set forth in
Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 ( “Overtime
Periods” ). If Tenant desires any such services during
Overtime Periods, Tenant shall deliver notice to the Building
office requesting such services at least 24 hours prior to the time
Tenant requests such services to be provided; provided, however,
that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to arrange such service
on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide. On a single weekend
during which Tenant initially moves into the Premises for the
conduct of its business, upon 5 days’ prior notice from
Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall make available to Tenant freight
elevator service in accordance with Landlord’s then current
rules and regulations applicable thereto from 8:00 p.m. on the
“move-in” Friday until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday at no cost
to Tenant. If Landlord furnishes freight elevator or HVAC service
during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost
thereof at the then established rates for such services in the
Building.
Section 10.6
Cleaning. Landlord shall
cause the Premises (excluding any portions thereof used for the
storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages,
as an exhibition area or classroom, for storage, as a shipping
room, mail room or similar purposes, for private bathrooms, showers
or exercise facilities, as a trading floor, or primarily for
operation of computer, data processing, reproduction, duplicating
or similar equipment) to be cleaned, substantially in accordance
with the standards set forth in Exhibit E . Any areas
of the Premises which Landlord is not required to clean hereunder
or which require additional cleaning shall be cleaned, at
Tenant’s expense, by Landlord’s cleaning contractor, at
rates which shall be competitive with rates of other cleaning
contractors providing comparable services to Comparable Buildings.
Landlord’s cleaning contractor and its employees shall have
access to the Premises at all times except between 8:00 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays which are not Observed
Holidays.
Section 10.7
Water. Landlord shall provide
water in the core lavatories and existing kitchens on each floor of
the Building. If Tenant requires water for any additional purposes,
Tenant shall pay for the cost of bringing water to the Premises and
Landlord may install a meter to measure the water. Tenant shall pay
the cost of such installation, and for all maintenance, repairs and
replacements thereto, and for the reasonable charges of Landlord
for the water consumed.
Section 10.8 Refuse
Removal. Landlord shall
provide refuse removal services at the Building for ordinary office
refuse and rubbish. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Landlord’s
reasonable charge for such removal to the extent that the refuse
generated by Tenant exceeds the refuse customarily generated by
general office tenants. Tenant shall not dispose of any refuse in
the Common Areas, and if Tenant does so, Tenant shall be liable for
Landlord’s reasonable charge for such removal.
21
Section 10.9
Directory. The lobby shall
contain a directory wherein the Building’s tenants shall be
listed. Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate share of such
listings, based on the rentable square footage of the
Premises.
Section 10.10
Telecommunications. If
Tenant requests that Landlord grant access to the Building to a
telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant for
purposes of providing telecommunications services to Tenant,
Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to respond to such
request within 10 days. Tenant acknowledges that nothing set forth
in this Section 10.10 shall impose any affirmative obligation
on Landlord to grant such request and that Landlord, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right to determine which
telecommunications service providers shall have access to Building
facilities.
Section 10.11
Service Interruptions.
Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when necessary,
by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for
any Work of Improvement which, in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, is necessary or appropriate, until such Unavoidable
Delay, accident or emergency shall cease or such Work of
Improvement is completed and Landlord shall not be liable for any
interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any
such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such
service, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of,
electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such
situation and minimize any interference with Tenant’s
business. The exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any
such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or
constructive eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any
compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations under this Amended and Restated Lease, or
impose any liability upon Landlord or any Indemnified Party by
reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of
Tenant’s business, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable
in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect or interruption of, or
change in the supply, character and/or quantity of, electric
service furnished to the Premises for any reason except if
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of
this Lease to the contrary (other than in the event of a casualty
or a Taking, for which the provisions of Articles 11 and 12 of this
Lease shall govern), if (i) any services to the Premises or
any utilities to the Premises are interrupted due to a cause within
Landlord’s reasonable control, or Tenant’s ability to
use and occupy part or all of the Premises is impaired due to the
foregoing activities of Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors, in the performance of any such Work of Improvement,
(ii) Tenant is unable to, and does not, use such part or all
of the Premises as a result of such interruption or impairment,
(iii) Tenant shall have given notice respecting such
interruption or impairment to Landlord, and (iv) Landlord
shall have failed to cure such interruption or impairment within
five (5) consecutive days after receiving such notice, then
Rent hereunder as to such part or all of the Premises shall
thereafter be abated beginning on the first (1
st ) day of such interruption or impairment
until such time as such interruption is restored or such impairment
shall cease, or Tenant begins using such part or all of the
Premises again, whichever shall first occur. Such abatement of Rent
shall be Tenant’s sole recourse in the event of such
interruption or impairment. In the event of a casualty or a Taking,
the applicable provisions of this Lease shall prevail over the
provisions of this Section 10.11.
Section 10.12 Level of
Service. Landlord shall
manage or cause the Building to be managed in a manner
substantially consistent with the manner in which Comparable
Buildings are managed and Landlord will endeavor to maintain
Operating Expenses at a level that is reasonably commensurate with
those of Comparable Buildings, but with due
consideration
22
being given to whether the services that
Landlord provides from time to time are in excess of, or less than,
those normally provided by the landlords of Comparable
Buildings.
Section 10.13 No Double
Charges. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be
required to pay more than once for any charge permitted to be
charged to Tenant under this Lease, or for Tenant’s
Proportionate Share thereof, as the case may be. In addition, in
the event that more than one tenant of the Building requires
additional services simultaneously with those provided to Tenant
(e.g. HVAC to a shared office floor), the charges for such services
shall be equitably apportioned between such tenant and
Tenant.
ARTICLE 11
INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR
DAMAGE
Section 11.1
Tenant’s Insurance.
(a) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in full
force and effect during the Term:
(i) a policy of commercial general liability
insurance on an occurrence basis against claims for personal
injury, bodily injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or
about the Building, under which Tenant is named as the insured and
Landlord, Landlord’s Agent and any Lessors and any Mortgagees
whose names have been furnished to Tenant are named as additional
insureds (the “Insured Parties” ). Such
insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from
any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Insured
Parties, and Tenant shall obtain blanket broad-form contractual
liability coverage to insure its indemnity obligations set forth in
Article 25. The minimum limits of liability applying
exclusively to the Premises shall be a combined single limit with
respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less than
$5,000,000; provided, however, that Landlord shall retain the right
to require Tenant to increase such coverage from time to time to
that amount of insurance which in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment is then being customarily required by landlords for
similar office space in Comparable Buildings. The self insured
retention for such policy shall not exceed $10,000. Tenant may
satisfy the limits of liability required herein with a combination
of umbrella and/or excess policies of insurance, provided that such
policies comply with all of the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, with respect to scope of coverage and naming of
the Insured Parties);
(ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and
such other risks and hazards as are insurable under then available
standard forms of “Special Form Causes of Loss” or
“All Risk” property insurance policies, insuring
Tenant’s Property and all Alterations and improvements to the
Premises (including the initial installations) to the extent such
Alterations and improvements exceed the cost of the improvements
typically performed in connection with the initial occupancy of
tenants in the Building ( “Building Standard
Installations” ), for the full insurable value thereof or
replacement cost thereof, having a deductible amount, if any, not
in excess of $25,000;
(iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until
completion thereof, Builder’s Risk insurance on an “all
risk” basis and on a completed value form including a
Permission to Complete and Occupy endorsement, for full replacement
value covering the interest of Landlord and Tenant (and their
respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated
in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the
Premises to the extent such Alteration activities are not covered
by Tenant’s then-existing property insurance
policies;
23
(iv) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as
required by law;
(v) Business Interruption Insurance covering a
minimum of one year of anticipated gross income;
(vi) if the Building or Real Property includes a
parking garage or surface parking lot that is utilized by Tenant,
Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance for any owned, non-owned
or hired vehicles with a combined single limit with respect to each
occurrence in an amount of not less than $1,000,000; and
(vii) such other insurance in such amounts as the
Insured Parties may reasonably require from time to
time.
(b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant
(i) shall contain a provision that (x) no act or omission
of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance
company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, and (y) shall
be noncancellable and/or no material change in coverage shall be
made thereto unless the Insured Parties receive 30 days’
prior notice of the same, by certified mail, return receipt
requested (except that 10 days’ notice shall be sufficient in
the case of cancelation for nonpayment of premiums), and
(ii) shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies
issued by reputable insurers admitted to do business in the State
of Washington and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any
successor thereto as having a “Best’s Rating” of
“A-” or better and a “Financial Size
Category” of at least “X” or better, or, if such
ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or such
other financial rating as Landlord may at any time consider
appropriate.
(c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord appropriate policies of insurance
required to be carried pursuant to this Article 11, including
evidence of waivers of subrogation and that the Insured Parties are
named as additional insureds (the “Policies” ).
Evidence of each renewal or replacement of the Policies shall be
delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the
expiration of the Policies. In lieu of the Policies, Tenant may
deliver to Landlord a certification from Tenant’s insurance
company, on the form currently designated “Acord 27”
(Evidence of Property Insurance) and “Acord 25-S”
(Certificate of Liability Insurance), or the equivalent, provided
that attached thereto is an endorsement to Tenant’s
commercial general liability policy naming the Insured Parties as
additional insureds, which endorsement is at least as broad as ISO
policy form “CG 20 11 Additional Insured – Managers or
Lessors of Premises” (pre-1999 edition) and which endorsement
expressly provides coverage for the negligence of the additional
insureds, which certification shall be binding on Tenant’s
insurance company, and which shall expressly provide that such
certification (i) conveys to the Insured Parties all the
rights and privileges afforded under the Policies as primary
insurance, and (ii) contains an unconditional obligation of
the insurance company to advise all Insured Parties in writing by
certified mail, return receipt requested, at least 30 days in
advance of any termination or change to the Policies that would
affect the interest of any of the Insured Parties (except that 10
days’ notice shall be sufficient in the case of cancelation
for nonpayment of premiums).
Section 11.2 Waiver of
Subrogation. Landlord and
Tenant shall each procure an appropriate clause in or endorsement
to any property insurance covering the Real Property and personal
property, fixtures and equipment located therein, wherein the
insurer waives subrogation or consents to a waiver of right of
recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any claim
against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage
to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or
other hazards to the extent covered by
24
the property insurance that was required to be
carried by that party under the terms of this Amended and Restated
Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance
on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above
Building Standard Installations, (ii) Tenant’s Property,
and (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of
Tenant’s business.
Section 11.3
Restoration. (a) If the
Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building
is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the
Premises, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord, to
substantially the condition of the Premises prior to the damage,
subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, but
Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore
(i) Tenant’s Property or (ii) except as provided in
Section 11.3(b), any Alterations or improvements to the
Premises to the extent such Alterations or improvements exceed
Building Standard Installations ( “Above Building Standard
Installations” ). So long as Tenant is not in default
beyond applicable grace or notice provisions in the payment or
performance of its obligations under this Section 11.3, and
provided Tenant timely delivers to Landlord either Tenant’s
Restoration Payment (as hereinafter defined) or the Restoration
Security (as hereinafter defined) or Tenant expressly waives any
obligation of Landlord to repair or restore any of Tenant’s
Above Building Standard Installations, then until the restoration
of the Premises is Substantially Completed or would have been
Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay, Fixed Rent,
Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment
shall be reduced in the proportion by which the area of the part of
the Premises which is not usable (or accessible ) and is not used
by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises.
(b) As a condition precedent to Landlord’s
obligation to repair or restore any Above Building Standard
Installations, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord upon demand a
sum ( “Tenant’s Restoration Payment” )
equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the cost, as
estimated by a reputable independent contractor designated by
Landlord, of repairing and restoring all Alterations and Initial
Installations in the Premises to their condition prior to the
damage, exceeds (B) the cost of restoring the Premises with
Building Standard Installations, or (ii) furnish to Landlord
security (the “Restoration Security” ) in form
and amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord to secure
Tenant’s obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring
the Premises with Building Standard Installations. If Tenant shall
fail to deliver to Landlord either (1) Tenant’s
Restoration Payment or the Restoration Security, as applicable, or
(2) a waiver by Tenant, in form satisfactory to Landlord, of
all of Landlord’s obligations to repair or restore any of the
Above Building Standard Installations, in either case within 15
days after Landlord’s demand therefor, Landlord shall have no
obligation to restore any Above Building Standard Installations and
Tenant’s abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment
and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall cease when the
restoration of the Premises (other than any Above Building Standard
Installations) is Substantially Complete.
Section 11.4
Landlord’s Termination
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 11.3, (a) if the Premises are totally damaged or
are rendered wholly untenantable, (b) if the Building shall be
so damaged that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion,
substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the
Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so
damaged or rendered untenantable), (c) if any Mortgagee shall
require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used
to retire the Mortgage debt or any Lessor shall terminate the
Superior Lease, as the case may be, or (d) if the damage is
not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by
Landlord’s insurance policies, then in any of such events,
Landlord may, not later than 60 days following the date of the
damage, terminate this Amended and Restated Lease by notice to
Tenant. If this Amended and Restated Lease is so
25
terminated, (a) the Term shall expire upon
the 30th day after such notice is given, (b) Tenant shall
vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord,
(c) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease as of the
date of the damage, and (d) any prepaid Rent for any period
after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to
Tenant.
Section 11.5 Tenant’s
Termination Right. If the
Premises are totally damaged and are thereby rendered wholly
untenantable, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is
deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, and if Landlord
elects to restore the Premises, Landlord shall, within 60 days
following the date of the damage, cause a contractor or architect
selected by Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration
Notice” ) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor
or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding
any Above Building Standard Installations) shall be Substantially
Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is
more than 18 months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease by
giving notice (the “Termination Notice” ) to
Landlord not later than 30 days following delivery of the
Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination
Notice, this Amended and Restated Lease shall be deemed to have
terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice,
in the manner set forth in the second sentence of
Section 11.4.
Section 11.6
Final 18 Months.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11,
if any damage during the final 18 months of the Term renders the
Premises wholly untenantable, either Landlord or Tenant may
terminate this Amended and Restated Lease by notice to the other
party within 30 days after the occurrence of such damage and this
Amended and Restated Lease shall expire on the 30th day after the
date of such notice. For purposes of this Section 11.6, the
Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable if Tenant shall be
precluded from using more than 50% of the Premises for the conduct
of its business and Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises
is reasonably expected to continue for more than 90
days.
Section 11.7 Landlord’s
Liability. Any Building
employee to whom any property shall be entrusted by or on behalf of
Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with
respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall
be liable for any damage to such property, or for the loss of or
damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None of the
Insured Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons
or property or interruption of Tenant’s business resulting
from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or
persons in the Building or by construction of any private, public
or quasi-public work, or any latent defect in the Premises or in
the Building (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the
same to the extent provided in Article 6). No penalty shall
accrue for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of
casualty insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or for any
Unavoidable Delays arising from any repair or restoration of any
portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use
and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any such
repair or restoration.

vesting of title and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such
