PREMISES
 
1.1   Construction; Suitability
 
The initial improvements to the Premises shall be constructed pursuant to Exhibit “C” attached hereto. Landlord shall have no other obligation to perform any construction or other work to the interior or exterior of the Premises or elsewhere at the Property unless expressly set forth in Exhibit “C” . Except as expressly provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor any agent or representative of Landlord, has made any representation or warranty with respect to the suitability of the Premises for the use set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, and that Tenant has entered into this Lease based solely upon its own investigation and inspection of the Property and the Premises. Landlord does not represent, and Tenant does not rely on the fact that any specific tenant or tenants will occupy space in the Property during the Term of this Lease. Landlord reserves and excepts from the Premises the roof and exterior walls of the Building of which the Premises are a part.
 
1.2   Location
 
The parties acknowledge that Exhibit “A” describes the current perimeter of the Property and sets forth a general layout of the Property, and shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that the Property shall always be constructed as indicated thereon or that any tenants or occupants designated by name or nature of business thereon shall conduct business in the Property during the Term of this Lease; and, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and governmental requirements and provided that there is reasonable access to the Premises, Landlord may in its sole discretion increase, decrease or change the number, location, and dimensions of the buildings, the premises therein, driving lanes, driveways, walkways, parking places and other improvements shown on Exhibit “A,” and Landlord reserves the right to make additions and alterations, including the addition of pay telephones, to all buildings constructed in the Property, and to change the name of the Building, the Property, or any of the other buildings thereon from time to time. References to “this Lease” include all exhibits and matters incorporated by reference as part of this Lease. In the event a portion of the Premises, Building, or Property is damaged or any other event or change occurs which alters the RSF of any or all of the foregoing, Landlord may appropriately adjust the foregoing areas and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Following completion of any Landlord’s Work described in Exhibit “C” , Landlord shall remeasure the Premises and reserves the right to remeasured the Building in accordance with provisions of the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings published by the Building Owners and Managers Association (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996) (the “BOMA Standard”) applicable to multi-tenant office buildings, to establish the RSF thereof, and appropriate adjustments (if any) shall be made to Minimum Monthly Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, and other terms of this Lease dependent on the RSF of the Premises and/or Building. Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted any such remeasurement and/or adjustment unless Tenant objects to same within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof from Landlord. After the initial measurement of the Premises as described above, in the event of any additional change in the RSF of the Premises and/or Building caused by a change in the BOMA Standard or otherwise, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall not be increased by more than 102% of the amounts set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions as a result of any such remeasurement of the Building or Premises.

1.3   Rooftop Antenna
 
Tenant may, at its risk and expense and at no additional rent, install the Satellite Dish (as hereinafter defined) and/or Antenna System (as hereinafter defined) on the roof of the Building in the area thereon designated by Landlord (the “ Satellite Dish Area ”), which Satellite Dish Area shall contain approximately not more than 100 square feet of space (i.e., a 10 foot by 10 foot area), but which area shall permit the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System to transmit and receive reception without interference. As used herein, the term “ Satellite Dish ” shall mean the satellite dish and related wiring and equipment hereafter approved in writing by Landlord to be located within the Satellite Dish Area only, and the term “ Antenna System ” shall mean the antenna system and related wiring and equipment hereafter approved in writing by Landlord to be located within the Satellite Dish Area and connected through the Building to the Premises. The Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System (a) may only be used by Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, and (b) shall not cause unacceptable load bearing burdens with respect to the applicable portions of the roof or otherwise impair the coverage of Landlord’s roof warranty. Neither the Satellite Dish nor the Antenna System shall be used for or on behalf of any persons or entities other than Tenant or any Permitted Transferee (i.e., the Satellite Dish and Antenna System shall not be used for any commercial or other for-profit use which is not related to Tenant’s or a Permitted Transferee’s business). Prior to installing the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System in the Satellite Dish Area, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for its approval plans and specifications which (1) specify in detail the design, location and size of the Satellite Dish or the equipment comprising the Antenna System, as applicable, and (2) are sufficiently detailed to allow for the installation of the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System and in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all laws applicable thereto. Prior to installing the Satellite Dish or the equipment comprising the Antenna System, as applicable, in the Satellite Dish Area, Tenant must also satisfy the following conditions precedent: (x) Tenant shall have obtained the written approval of Landlord required by the preceding sentence, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (y) Tenant shall have obtained and be maintaining all permits and/or approvals required by applicable laws with respect to the installation, maintenance and operation of the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System and shall have provided Landlord with sufficient evidence of the existence of such permits and/or approvals. If Tenant satisfies the conditions precedent set forth above, Tenant shall install (in a good and workmanlike manner), maintain and use the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System in accordance with all laws. Tenant will make no penetration through the roof of the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. After installing the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System, Tenant shall maintain all permits necessary for the maintenance and operation thereof and operate and maintain the same in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with any other then-existing satellite, antennae, or other transmission facility on the Building’s roof or in the Building. Landlord may require, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, screen the Satellite Dish and/or Antenna System with screening reasonably approved in writing by Landlord, which screening shall compliment the architectural design of the Building and shall be coordinated with Landlord’s architect. Tenant shall, at its risk and expense, remove the Satellite Dish and Antenna System (including all wiring and/or cabling related thereto) and all screening applicable thereto from the Property prior to expiration or termination of this Lease.

1.4   Access
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have access to the Premises and the Building twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and fifty-two (52) weeks a year.
 
1.5   Right of First Offer
 
Tenant shall have, during the Term hereof, a continuous right of first offer to lease additional space contiguous to the Premises on the 5 th and 6 th Floors of the Building (the “ ROFO Space ”). Tenant’s right of first offer shall be subject and subordinate to all leases, options and rights of other third parties in existence as of the date of mutual execution hereof. If at any time during the initial Term, Landlord shall receive a bona fide offer from any third party to lease all or any part of the ROFO Space, which offer Landlord shall desire to accept, or all or any part of the ROFO Space becomes
 

5


available for lease, then Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the existence of such offer (but Landlord shall not be obligated to disclose the economic or other terms of the third party offer) or the availability of such portion of the ROFO Space for lease. Tenant may, within ten (10) business days thereafter, elect by written notice to Landlord to lease the ROFO Space on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Lease, including as to the Tenant Allowance, which shall be prorated based on the remaining term of this Lease at the time the ROFO Space is added to the Premises demised hereby, provided that no free/abated rent periods shall apply. Failure of Tenant to exercise the foregoing right within the prescribed time period above shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s right as to that offer with respect to the ROFO Space mentioned in Landlord’s notice, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the ROFO Space in Landlord’s sole discretion. If Tenant duly elects to exercise its right of first offer as aforesaid, Landlord shall prepare, and Tenant shall promptly execute, an amendment to this Lease to memorialize such election, provided, however, that failure of Tenant to execute such amendment shall not affect the binding nature of Tenant’s election to exercise the right of first offer as aforesaid. The right described in this paragraph is personal to Tenant and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Tenant, and is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
 
1.6   Delay in Delivery
 
If Landlord fails to deliver 4th and 5 th floor (excluding Suite 550) of the Premises by the date that is seven (7) days after the Possession Date specified in the Basic Lease Provisions or fails to complete Landlord’s Work by September 3, 2007, with respect to the 4th floor or by October 1, 2007, with respect to the 5th floor (excluding Suite 550), then, as Tenant’s sole remedies therefor, (a) when Tenant becomes obligated to pay Minimum Monthly Rent hereunder, Tenant shall receive an abatement against such Minimum Monthly Rent of $5,000 per calendar day for each day of delay after the end of the foregoing 7-day period as liquidated damages, and (b) the nine-month rent abatement period specified in Paragraph P   of the Basic Lease Provisions shall be extended one (1) day for each day of delay. If Landlord fails to deliver Suite 550 with Landlord’s Work completed by the Possession Date specified in the Basic Lease Provision then, as Tenant’s sole remedies therefor, when Tenant becomes obligated to pay Minimum Monthly Rent hereunder, Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Monthly Rent shall abate by an amount equal to one day of Minimum Rent multiplied by a percentage which is the ratio that the RSF of Suite 550 bears to the RSF of the entire Premises for each day of delay (such abatement to be in addition to any abatement accrued or accruing under subsection (a) above). Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing sums are their best estimate of the daily damages that Tenant will incur as a result of Landlord’s failure to deliver the Premises. Additionally, if, for any reason other than delays caused by Tenant, Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises (excluding Suite 550) to Tenant with all Landlord’s Work substantially completed by December 15, 2007, then Tenant may elect as its sole remedy to terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord on or before December 31, 2007. In such case, all deposits and other amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be refunded to Tenant. If Tenant fails to deliver such notice of termination by the foregoing deadline, Tenant’s right to terminate for such failure shall be forever waived.

ARTICLE 3
 

 
TERM
 
3.1   Duration
 
The Term hereof shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date defined in the Basic Lease Provisions and shall terminate on the Expiration Date defined in the Basic Lease Provisions, unless earlier terminated or extended as set forth elsewhere herein. Tenant agrees to execute a certificate confirming the date of the Lease Commencement Date in the form of the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit “E” , which certificate shall be initialed by Landlord and attached to, and incorporated into, this Lease. Beginning on the Possession Date, Tenant and its agents, contractors, architects, and consultants shall have access to the Premises to fixturize and otherwise ready the Premises for the commencement of Tenant’s business therein, provided that Tenant does not unreasonably interfere with or delay Landlord in the prosecution of Landlord’s Work. Commencing on the date of mutual execution hereof, Tenant and Landlord shall comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and provision of this Lease, excepting only those provisions pertaining to Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, which obligation shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date described in the Basic Lease Provisions. In connection therewith, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that certain obligations under various articles hereof shall commence prior to the Lease Commencement Date (i.e., construction obligations, hold harmless, liability insurance, etc.), and Tenant agrees to be bound by these articles prior to the Lease Commencement Date.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are expressly conditioned upon termination of Tenant’s existing lease with Blume Yale Limited Partnership upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Tenant in its discretion. Promptly upon execution of such termination agreement, Tenant shall provide Landlord proof thereof. If the foregoing condition is not satisfied within fifteen (15) business days following execution of this Lease, either party may terminate this Lease by providing three (3) days written notice. If either Tenant or Landlord elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for (a) the actual hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in relocating the existing tenants necessary for Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and (b) the actual hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in performing Landlord’s Work. The aforementioned costs shall not exceed $50,000. Along with all other obligations that survive termination of this Lease, Tenant’s obligations under the immediately preceding sentence and the obligations of Tenant under Article 28 shall expressly survive termination of this Lease.

3.2   Option to Extend
 
Provided that Tenant is not in default at the time of Tenant’s exercise notice described below, or at the time of commencement of the Extended Term defined below, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years (the “ Extended Term ”). Tenant may exercise its extension option by delivering to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise such option (the “ Option Notice ”) not earlier than twelve (12) months and not later than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Initial Term. Such Extended Term shall be on all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except (i) Minimum Monthly Rent shall be adjusted as set forth below; and (ii) there shall be no free rent periods, tenant improvement or design allowances or further extension options. The option to extend the Term of this Lease is exercisable only by the original Tenant which is named in the Basic Lease Provisions and an assignee or sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and is not assignable or transferable. Once delivered, the Option Notice cannot be cancelled or revoked.
 
3.3   Extended Term Minimum Monthly Rent  
 
Minimum Monthly Rent during the Extended Term shall be Fair Market Rental Value. The term “ Fair Market Rental Value ” shall be the rental rate that comparable office space for the same term of the Extended Term would command on the open market at the time of commencement of the Extended Term, taking into account all customary Landlord concessions for new, non-renewal tenants, such as tenant improvement allowances, free/abated rent, and brokerage commissions, determined in the manner set forth below. For purposes hereof, the term “comparable Premises” shall mean office space similar in size and location to the Premises, in comparable buildings, with comparable views, and with similar improvements and amenities.
 
(i)   If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Option Notice, then Landlord and Tenant shall agree within ten (10) days thereafter on one real estate appraiser (who shall be a Member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or equivalent) who will determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon an appraiser within said ten (10) day period, then one M.A.I. qualified appraiser shall be appointed by Tenant and one M.A.I. qualified appraiser shall be appointed by Landlord within ten (10) days of notice by one party to the other of such disagreement. The two appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises within twenty (20) days of their appointment; provided, however, if either party fails to appoint an appraiser within such ten (10) day period, then the determination of the appraiser first appointed shall be used. The appraisers appointed shall proceed to determine Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days following such appointment. If said appraisers should fail to agree, but the difference in their conclusions as to Fair Market Rental Value is ten percent (10%) or less of the lower of the two appraisals, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed the average of the two.

(ii)   If the two appraisers should fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value, and the difference between the two appraisals exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two appraisals, then the two appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third M.A.I. qualified appraiser, and in case of their failure to agree on a third appraiser within ten (10) days after their individual determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, either party may apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for King County, Washington, requesting said Judge to appoint the third M.A.I. qualified appraiser. The third appraiser so appointed shall promptly determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises and the average of the appraisals of the two closest appraisers shall be used. The fees and expenses of said third appraiser or the one appraiser Landlord and Tenant agree upon, shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective appraiser if the parties fail to agree on a single appraiser. All M.A.I. appraisers appointed or selected pursuant to this subsection shall have at least ten (10) years experience appraising commercial properties in the downtown Seattle central business district.

(iii)   The determination of Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to this paragraph shall be final, conclusive and binding upon both parties.

Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided herein, operate and maintain the Common Area during the Lease Term. Landlord reserves the right to use the Common Area for such promotions, exhibitions and similar uses as Landlord reasonably deems in the best interests of the Property and its tenants. Landlord may temporarily close parts of the Common Area for such periods of time as may be necessary for (i) temporary use as a work area in connection with the construction of buildings or other improvements within the Property or contiguous property; (ii) repairs or alterations in or to the Common Area to any utility facilities; (iii) preventing the public from obtaining prescriptive rights in or to the Common Area; (iv) emergency or added safety reasons; (v) temporary use of the Common Area for entertainment, performance or shopping events; or (vi) performing such other acts as in Landlord’s reasonable judgment are appropriate for the proper operation or maintenance of the Property.

11


but not limited to, any tenant in the Property, to carry out any or all of Landlord’s rights and duties with respect to the Common Area as provided in this Lease; and Landlord may enter into a contract either by a separate document or in a Lease agreement with such operator on such terms and conditions and for such period as Landlord shall deem proper.

5.8   Allocation of Expenses ; Gross Up
 
Those Operating Expenses, Taxes, and insurance costs that Landlord reasonably determines should be allocable to all tenants of the Property shall be considered to be Property Operating Expenses, Taxes, and insurance costs, respectively, and those Operating Expenses, Taxes and insurance costs that Landlord reasonably determines should be allocable only to specific tenants shall be shared among only those tenants. Landlord also reserves the right to create, as appropriate, new categories of Operating Expenses, Taxes, and insurance costs, if certain Operating Expenses, Taxes, and/or insurance costs are reasonably allocable only to Tenant and not to all tenants of the Building. In such case, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be established for such separately-categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes, and/or insurance costs, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs and expenses of installing meters or other devices to determine the actual cost or expense of such separately categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes, or insurance costs on a pro rata basis with those other tenants, if any, that are responsible for paying a portion of such separately-categorized Operating Expenses, Taxes and insurance costs, as applicable. If less than an average of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Property is occupied by tenants during all or any portion of a lease year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of those Operating Expenses and insurance costs that vary by occupancy, including for purposes of calculating Tenant’s estimated payments of increases thereof, employing sound accounting and property management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses and taxes that would have been expended or incurred had ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Property been occupied during the entire year.

DAMAGE AND RESTORATION
 
10.1   Damage and Destruction of the Premises
 
If the Premises are at any time destroyed or damaged by a casualty insured against by Landlord pursuant to Article 9 hereof or otherwise insured against by Landlord, and if as a result of such occurrence:
 
(a)   the Premises are rendered untenantable only in part, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and, provided Tenant shall have been operating in the Premises for the Permitted Use set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions at the time of the casualty and shall covenant in writing to Landlord that Tenant shall reopen the Premises for such permitted use and will comply with the provisions of Paragraph 10.3 below upon completion of Landlord’s reconstruction, rebuilding or repair of the Premises, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10.4 below, commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Premises to the extent only of Landlord’s Work set forth in Exhibit “C” (Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any of Tenant’s Work). In such event, Minimum Monthly Rent shall abate proportionately to the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable from the date of the destruction or damage until the entire Premises have been restored by Landlord to the extent of Landlord’s Work as set forth on Exhibit “C hereto;
 
(b)   the Premises are rendered totally untenantable, provided Tenant shall have been operating in the Premises for the Permitted Use set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions at the time of the casualty and shall covenant in writing to Landlord that Tenant shall reopen the Premises for such use and will comply with the provisions of Paragraph 10.3 below upon completion of Landlord’s reconstruction,

rebuilding or repair of the Premises, Landlord shall, subject to Paragraph 10.4 hereof, commence diligently to reconstruct, rebuild or repair the Premises to the extent only of Landlord’s Work as set forth on Exhibit “C” (Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any of Tenant’s Work). In such event, Minimum Monthly Rent shall abate entirely from the date of the destruction or damage until the Premises have been restored by Landlord to the extent of Landlord’s Work as set forth on Exhibit “C” hereto.
 
(c)   If the Premises or the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or any casualty which, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable opinion, cannot, despite diligent, good faith efforts be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which such repair or restoration work substantially commences, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease effective as of the date of such damage or destruction. Within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage, the Landlord shall reasonably determine how long the repair and restoration will take. After that determination has been made, Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days to terminate the Lease by giving written notice to Landlord.
 
10.2   Damage or Destruction of Property
 
(a)   If 25% or more of the Leasable Area of the Property is at any time destroyed or damaged (including, without limitation, by smoke or water damage) as a result of fire, the elements, accident, or other casualty, whether or not the Premises are affected by such occurrence, Landlord may, at its option, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days following any such occurrence, elect to terminate this Lease so long as Landlord terminates the leases of all other similarly situated tenants. In the case of such election, the Term and tenancy created hereby shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given, without liability or penalty payable or any other recourse by one party to or against the other; and Tenant shall, within such 30-day period, vacate the Premises and surrender them to Landlord.

10.3   Tenant’s Work
 
[Reserved].
 
10.4   Limitation of Obligations
 
Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary herein, in the event the Premises or Property are damaged as a result of any cause in respect of which there are no insurance proceeds available to Landlord, or the proceeds of insurance are insufficient in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment to pay for the costs of repair or reconstruction, or any mortgagee or other person entitled to the proceeds of insurance does not consent to the payment to Landlord of such proceeds to fully restore the Premises or Property, or if the Premises or Property cannot be fully restored to its prior condition under land use, zoning, and building codes in force at the time a permit is sought for repair or reconstruction, then Landlord may, without obligation or liability to Tenant, terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant (so long as Landlord terminates the leases of all other

similarly situated tenants) and all rent shall be adjusted as of the effective date of such termination, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises on the date set forth in Landlord’s termination notice.

ARTICLE 11
 

 
SECURITY DEPOSIT; LETTER OF CREDIT
 
11.1   Security Deposit
 
Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions above, to be held by Landlord during the Term as set forth below. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations hereunder, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered as a measure of Tenant’s damages in case of default by Tenant. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any default under this Lease or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any such application shall be returned to Tenant within a reasonable period after such termination, after deducting therefrom any unpaid obligation of Tenant to Landlord as may arise under this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation of Tenant to restore the Premises upon termination of this Lease. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Term of this Lease, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee provided that such transferee accepts, in writing, to be bound by the terms of this Lease as the landlord hereunder.

11.2   Letter of Credit
 
(a)   General
 
In lieu of providing the cash Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 11.1 above, Tenant shall have a one-time right to elect to provide an original irrevocable letter of credit (the “ Letter of Credit ”) naming Landlord as beneficiary, from Charter Bank or such other financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “ Issuer ”) but in any event which has an investment grade rating from Standard and Poors or Moody’s, and either (i) has a letter of credit counter located in King County, Washington, upon which draws can be made in person, or (ii) has a local correspondent based in King County, Washington, upon which draws can be made in person without delay. Each Letter of Credit shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit “F“   hereto. Each Letter of Credit shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year and shall be irrevocable during that term. Each Letter of Credit shall provide that it will be honored at sight upon a signed statement by Landlord or its agent that Landlord is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit, and shall require no signature or statement from any party other than Landlord or such agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no notice to Tenant shall be required to enable Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit, and the Letter of Credit will be honored by the Issuer without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether Tenant disputes the content of such statement. Each Letter of Credit shall also provide that, following the honor of any drafts in an amount less than the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall return the original Letter of Credit to Landlord and Landlord’s rights as to the remaining amount of the Letter of Credit will not be extinguished.

(b)   Issuer Insolvency
 
If the Issuer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the Federal bank-ruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof (each of the foregoing, an “ Issuer Insolvency ”), Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof as a Security Deposit.

(c)   Time for Obtaining Letter of Credit
 
If Tenant desires to provide a Letter of Credit in lieu of the cash Security Deposit described in Paragraph 11.1 above, it must provide same to Landlord by the mutual execution hereof. Letters of Credit covering subsequent periods shall be obtained and delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Letter of Credit (“ Letter of Credit Date ”). The term for each such Letter of Credit shall begin no later than the expiration date of the previously-effective Letter of Credit and shall comply with all requirements of this Lease.

(d)   Amounts for Letters of Credit
 
Provided Tenant is not then in uncured default, the Letter of Credit shall be subject to reduction at the same times and to the same amounts as provided for the reduction of the Security Deposit in Paragraph 11.1 above.

(e)   Uses of Letter of Credit
 
Landlord shall have the right to draw upon a Letter of Credit up to its full amount whenever (w) an uncured default under this Lease has oc-curred, or (x) an event or circumstance has occurred which with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under the Lease, notwithstanding that transmittal of any such notice may be barred by applicable law; or (y) a

21


satisfactory new Letter of Credit has not been delivered to Landlord prior to the applicable Letter of Credit Date; or (z) in the event of an Issuer Insolvency. Landlord may draw upon the full amount of the then existing Letter of Credit without giving any further notice or time to cure to Tenant. No such draw shall (i) cure or constitute a waiver of a default, (ii) be deemed to fix or determine the amounts to which Landlord is entitled to recover under this Lease or otherwise (including without limitation in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant), or (iii) be deemed to limit or waive Landlord’s right to pursue any rights or remedies provided for in this Lease. If all or any portion of a Letter of Credit is drawn against by Landlord and all or any portion of the proceeds are applied to cure a Tenant default, Tenant shall, within two (2) business days after demand by Landlord, cause the Issuer to issue Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, a replacement or supplementary Letter of Credit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “F”   such that at all times during the Term, Landlord shall have the ability to draw on one or more Letters of Credit totaling, in the aggregate, the amount required pursuant to this Lease.
 
(f)   Transfer of Letter of Credit
 
In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or Building, Landlord and its transferees shall have the right, and the Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide, without any requirement of consent of Tenant or the Issuer, to transfer the Letter of Credit to its transferee (and its transferee(s) may successively so transfer the Letter of Credit) and thereupon shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a new Landlord. In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall pay any costs and fees charged or imposed by the Issuer. It is the intention of the parties that each and every successor and assign of both Landlord and Tenant be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions of this Article. Furthermore, Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, assign all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity (by way of example only and not limitation, an assignment for security purposes or otherwise to any lender of Landlord), regardless of whether or not such assignment is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease.

(g)   Miscellaneous
 
Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit under the circumstances described hereinabove. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that if Landlord cannot draw upon the Letter of Credit within the times and in the manner as anticipated by Landlord herein, Landlord shall suffer irreparable damage, harm and injury. From time to time during the Term of this Lease it is anticipated by the parties that the Letter of Credit will need to be amended, modified and, possibly reissued. Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree to cooperate with one another to promptly effectuate any such amendments, modifications and new issuances, including without limitation, executing and submitting to the Issuer any and all documents or instruments as may be reasonably required to effectuate same. Each and every time during the Term of this Lease there is a change in the identity or address of the parties, including without limitation, any change in the identity of Landlord due to the sale, transfer or other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests in, to and under this Lease to any other party, person or entity, the Letter of Credit shall immediately be amended or reissued to reflect such changes and the parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the Issuer such further applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate same.
