RECITALS
A.
Lessor’s predecessor in
interest and Lessee entered a lease agreement dated
February 15, 2002 (the “Lease”), as amended by
letter dated July 21, 2006 to reflect Lessee’s change of
name, with respect to certain leasehold premises described as
Suite 500 of Elliott Bay Office Park, 300 Elliott Avenue West,
Seattle, Washington 98119, located on real property in the City of
Seattle that is more particularly described as follows:

Parcel B: Block 161, Seattle
Tidelands, records of King County, Washington.
The leased premises consist of
approximately 20,764 rentable square feet of space.

The term of the Lease is for 84
months commencing July 26, 2002. The Lease also grants
