Landlord leases to Tenant the premises described in Section 1 and in Exhibit A (the "Premises"), located in this project described on Exhibit B (the "Project"). By entry on the Premises, Tenant acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and accepts the Premises in their present condition, subject to any additional work Landlord has agreed to do. Tenant represents and warrants that it agrees with the square footage specified for the Premises and the Project in Section 1 and will not hereafter challenge such determination and agreement. b. COMMON AREAS. As used in this Lease, "Common Areas" shall mean all portions of the Project not leased or demised for lease to specific tenants. During the Lease Term, Tenant and its licensees, invitees, customers and employees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the public portions of the Common Areas, including all parking areas, landscaped areas, entrances, lobbies, elevators, stairs, corridors, and public restrooms in common with Landlord, other Project tenants and their respective licensees, invitees, customers and employees. Landlord shall at all times have exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and no diminution thereof shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction or entitle Tenant to compensation or a reduction or abatement of rent, provided such change does not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord in its discretion may increase, decrease or change the number, locations and dimensions of any Common Areas and other improvements shown on Exhibit A which are not within the Premises, provided such change does not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. c. PROJECT. Landlord reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify or alter the configuration or number of buildings in the Project, provided only that upon such modification or alteration, the Project Area as set forth in Section l(f) shall be adjusted to reflect such modification or alteration. 3. TERM. The Commencement Date listed in Section 1 of this Lease represents an estimate of the Commencement Date based on the scheduled expiration date of Tenant's sublease with Synrad under a master lease between Landlord and Synrad dated as of November 27, 1996 (the "Existing Lease"). Tenant is responsible for the transition from the Existing Lease/sublease to this Lease. This Lease shall be for a term ("Lease Term") beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, unless extended or sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease. During the term of the sublease (and notwithstanding that such period is prior to the Commencement Date), all terms and conditions of this Lease relating to insurance and indemnity shall be in full force and effect and shall apply directly as between Landlord and Tenant under this Lease. As Tenant is in possession of the Premises, Tenant hereby agrees to accept the -2- 3 Premises in the condition existing on the date of termination of the Existing Lease, subject only to Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Existing Lease. 4. RENT a. BASE MONTHLY RENT. Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly base rent in the initial amount in Section 1 which shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month ("Base Monthly Rent") provided, however, the first month's Base Monthly Rent for January 1999, in the prorated amount of $6,306.45 and Tenant's Share of Expenses is due and payable on October 1, 1998. If the term of this Lease contains any rental abatement period, Tenant hereby agrees that if Tenant breaches the Lease and fails to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, if any, and/or abandons the Premises before the end of the Lease term, or if Tenant's right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of Tenant's breach of the Lease, the rental abatement period shall be deemed extinguished, and there shall be immediately due from Tenant to Landlord, in addition to any damages otherwise due Landlord under the terms and conditions of the Lease, Base Monthly Rent prorated for the entirety of the rental abatement period at the average Base Monthly Rent for the Lease, plus any and all other charges (such as Expenses) that were abated during such rental abatement period. For purposes of Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties to this Lease hereby agree to allocate the stated Rents, provided herein, to the periods which correspond to the actual Rent payments as provided under the terms and conditions of this agreement. b. RENT ADJUSTMENT. 1) COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT. [Intentionally Omitted.] 2) STEP INCREASE. If Section 1.i.(2) is initialed, Base Monthly Rent shall be increased periodically to the amounts and at the times set forth in Section 1.i.(2). c. EXPENSES. The purpose of this Section 4.c is to ensure that Tenant bears a share of all Expenses related to the use, maintenance, ownership, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Project. Accordingly, beginning on the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Tenant shall each month pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Share of Expenses related to the Project. As used in this Lease, "Tenant's Share" shall mean the Premises Area, as defined in Section 1.e, divided by the Project Area, as defined in Section 1.f, and "Tenant's Share of Expenses" shall mean total Expenses for the Project, multiplied by Tenant's Share, provided that Landlord may specially allocate individual expenses where and in the manner necessary, in Landlord's discretion, to appropriately reflect the consumption of the expense or service. For example where some but not all premises in the Project have HVAC, Landlord may reallocate Project Expenses for HVAC to all premises utilizing HVAC to be apportioned on a per square foot basis, or could allocate to each premises utilizing HVAC the cost of maintaining that space's individual unit. In the event the average occupancy level of the Project for any year is less than ninety five percent (95%), the actual Expenses for such year shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect those costs which Landlord estimates would have been incurred, had the Project been ninety five percent (95%) occupied during such year. -3- 4 1) EXPENSES DEFINED. The term "Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses of the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement, and insurance of the Project, including without limitation, the following costs: (a) All supplies, materials, labor, equipment, and utilities used in or related to the operation and maintenance of the Project; (b) All maintenance, management, janitorial, legal, accounting, insurance, and service agreement costs related to the Project; (c) All maintenance, replacement and repair costs relating to the areas within or around the Project, including, without limitation, air conditioning systems, sidewalks, landscaping, service areas, driveways, parking Areas (including resurfacing and restriping parking areas), walkways, building exteriors (including painting), signs and directories, repairing roofs, walls, etc. (d) Amortization (along with reasonable financing charges) of capital improvements made to the Project which may be required by any government authority or which will improve the operating efficiency of the Project (provided, however, that the amount of such amortization for improvements not mandated by government authority shall not exceed in any year the amount of costs reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion to have been saved by the expenditure either through the reduction or minimization of increases which would have otherwise occurred). (e) Real Property Taxes including all taxes, assessments (general and special) and other impositions or charges which may be taxed, charged, levied, assessed or imposed upon all or any portion of or in relation to the Project or any portion thereof, any leasehold estate in the Premises or measured by Rent from the Premises, including any increase caused by the transfer, sale or encumbrance of the Project or any portion thereof. "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any form of assessment, levy, penalty, charge or tax (other than estate, inheritance, net income, or franchise taxes) imposed by any authority having a direct or indirect power to tax or charge, including, without limitation, any city, county, state federal or any improvement or other district, whether such tax is (1) determined by the value of the Project or the Rent or other sums payable under this Lease; (2) upon or with respect to any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Project or any part thereof; (3) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating a transfer in any interest in the Project, (4) in lieu of or as a direct substitute in whole or in part of or in addition to any real property taxes on the Project, (5) based on any parking spaces or parking facilities provided in the Project, or (6) in consideration for services, such as police protection, fire protection, street, sidewalk and roadway maintenance, refuse removal or other services that may be provided by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency from time to time which were formerly provided without charge or with less charge to property owners or occupants. (f) Landlord agrees that Expenses as defined in Section 4(c) shall not include leasing commissions; payments of principal and interest on any mortgages, deeds of trust or other encumbrances upon the Project; depreciation -4- 5 of the capital cost of capital improvements except as provided at 4(c)(1)(d); Landlord's executive salaries, management fees in excess of market rates; costs resulting from defective design or construction of the Project; costs incurred in connection with entering into new leases; or costs of disputes under existing leases. In no event shall Expenses include any charge for which Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance or from another Tenant, nor shall any item of Expense he counted more than once, nor shall Landlord collect more than one hundred percent (100%) of Expenses. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the following items shall be excluded (or, as applicable, deducted) from Expenses: (i) Items, services and/or goods to the extent Tenant or any other tenant, occupant, person or other party is obligated to reimburse Landlord or to pay third parties; (ii) Estate, inheritance, gift, franchise and income taxes of Landlord; (iii) The costs and expenses of maintenance and operation of any parking facility in or serving the Building or Project for which a separate charge is made, except to the extent that such expenses exceed any revenues for parking received from such operation; (iv) Interest, fines, penalties or damages incurred by Landlord for violation of any law, late payment of taxes or assessments or under any agreement to which Landlord is a party by reason of the breach or default of Landlord; (v) Expenses incurred in connection with relocating tenants in the Building or Project; (vii) Amounts received by Landlord through proceeds of insurance to the extent the proceeds are compensation for Expenses that were previously charged to tenants; (viii) The cost of structural repairs and replacements that are Landlord's responsibility pursuant to the terms of this Lease. (ix) The cost of repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty loss in excess of the insurance proceeds therefor, provided that the deductibles under applicable insurance companies shall be chargeable as a Expense so long as Tenant's share of such deductible shall not exceed $5,000 with respect to any single loss. (x) Amounts paid to an affiliate of Landlord to the extent same is in excess of the reasonable cost of said item or service in an arms length transaction. (xi) Except as otherwise provided herein, the cost of items required to be capitalized under commonly accepted accounting principles, provided that where the cost of an item would be chargeable as an Expense if rented (e.g., -5- 6 maintenance equipment), the amortized cost of such item when purchased shall be chargeable as an Expense. (xii) The cost of remediating or defending against claims in regard to the existence or release of hazardous substances or materials in the Premises or Project existing as of the Commencement Date or introduced thereafter by Landlord. 2) ANNUAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES, TENANT'S SHARE. When Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's share of Expenses for the remainder of the calendar year, and at the commencement of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall estimate Tenant's Share of Expenses for the coming year by multiplying the estimated annual Project Expenses by Tenant's Share. 3) MONTHLY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly in advance, as Additional Rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Estimate of Tenant's Share of Expenses beginning on the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises. As soon as practical following each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare an accounting of actual Expenses incurred during the prior calendar year and such accounting shall reflect Tenant's Share of Expenses. If the Additional Rent paid by Tenant under this Section 4.c.3 during the preceding calendar year was less than the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Expenses, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Such amount shall be deemed to have accrued during the prior calendar year and shall be due and payable from Tenant even though the term of this Lease has expired or this Lease has been terminated prior to Tenant's receipt of this notice. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to contest the amount due, failure to so notify Landlord shall represent final determination of Tenant's Share of Expenses. If Tenant's payments were greater than the actual amount, then such overpayment shall be credited by Landlord to Tenant's Share of Expenses due under this Section 4.c.3. Tenant or its accountants shall have the right to inspect and audit Landlord's books and records with respect to this Lease once each calendar to verify actual Expenses for the prior calendar year. Tenant may not use a property manager or developer (or an affiliate of a property manager or developer) to conduct such an audit. The books and records shall be kept in accord with generally accepted accounting principles. If Tenant's audit of the Expenses reveals an overcharge of more than three percent (3%), Landlord promptly shall reimburse Tenant for the out-of-pocket cost of the audit paid to third-party auditors. Any overcharge or underpayment of Expenses shall be due from one party to the other within thirty (30) days after the amount of the overcharge or underpayment has been fixed. 4) RENT WITHOUT OFFSET AND LATE CHARGE. As used herein, "Rent" shall mean all monetary sums due from Tenant to Landlord. All Base Monthly Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without prior notice or demand in advance on the first day of every calendar month, at the address shown in Section 1, or such other place as landlord may designate in writing from time to time. Whether or not so designated, all other sums due from Tenant under this Lease shall constitute Additional Rent, payable without prior notice or demand when specified in this Lease, but if not specified, then within ten (10) days of demand. All Rent shall be paid without any deduction or offset whatsoever. All -6- 7 Rent shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America. Proration of Rent due for any partial month shall be calculated by dividing the number of days in the month for which Rent is due by the actual number of days in that month and multiplying by the applicable monthly rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such cost being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by the Premises. Therefore, if any Rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received within five (5) days of the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 5% of such overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and that the late charge is in addition to any and all remedies available to the Landlord and that the assessment and/or collection of the late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default. Additionally, all such delinquent Rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per annum. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. Any payments of any kind returned for insufficient funds will be subject to an additional handling charge of $25.00, and thereafter, Landlord may require Tenant to pay all future payments of Rent or other sums due by money order or cashier's check. 5. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.] 6. DEPOSIT. Upon commencement of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit a security deposit as set forth in Section l.k with Landlord. If Tenant is in default, Landlord, after notice to Tenant, can use the security deposit or any portion of it to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenant's default. Upon demand, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the security deposit expended or applied by Landlord to restore the security deposit to its full amount. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the security deposit to any Rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration of termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the security deposit to Tenant. Landlord's obligations with respect to the deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the security deposit with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's prepaid deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said prepaid deposit. 7. USE OF PREMISES AND PROJECT FACILITIES. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Section 1 and for no other purpose without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or with respect to the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises or the Project, except as provided in writing in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at its sole discretion, make such modifications, alterations, deletions or improvements to the Project as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without compensation or notice to Tenant. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations affecting -7- 8 the Premises and the Project, including, without limitation, any rules and regulations that may be attached to this Lease and to any reasonable modifications to these rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time. Tenant acknowledges that, except for Landlord's obligations pursuant to Section 13, Tenant is solely responsible for ensuring that the Premises comply with any and all governmental regulations applicable to Tenant's conduct of business on the Premises, and that Tenant is solely responsible for any alterations or improvements that may be required by such regulations, now existing or hereafter adopted. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything in the Premises that will in any way increase the premiums paid by Landlord on its insurance related to the Project or which will in any way increase the premiums for fire or casualty insurance carried by other tenants in the Project. Tenant will not perform any act or carry on any practices that injure the Premises or the Project; that are a nuisance or menace to other tenants in the Project; or that shall in any way interfere with the quiet enjoyment of such other tenants. Tenant shall not use the Premises for sleeping, washing clothes, or the preparation, manufacture or mixing of anything that emits any objectionable strong odor, noises, vibrations or lights onto such other tenants. If sound insulation is required to muffle noise produced by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant at its own cost shall provide all necessary insulation.

LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15 WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM. c. RELEASE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant hereby fully and completely waives and releases all claims against Landlord for any losses or other damages sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises, including but not limited to: any defect in or failure of Project equipment; any failure to make repairs; any defect, failure, surge -13- 14 in, or interruption of Project facilities or services; any defect in or failure of Common Areas; broken glass; water leakage; the collapse of any Building component; or any act, omission or negligence of co-tenants, licensees or any other persons or occupants of the Building, provided only that the release contained in this Section 15.c shall not apply to claims for actual damage to persons or property (excluding consequential damages such as lost profits) resulting directly from Landlord's gross negligence or breach of its express obligations under this Lease which Landlord has not cured within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of such breach from Tenant. This release shall not apply to items for which Landlord has given an express indemnity. d. LIMITATION ON INDEMNITY. In compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Lease, all provisions of this Lease pursuant to which Landlord or Tenant (the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify the other (the "Indemnitee") against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to Persons or damage to property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project, development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Premises, (i) shall not apply to damages caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Indemnitee, its agents or employees, and (ii) to the extent caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee's agents or employees, and (b) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitor's agents or employees, shall apply only to the extent of the Indemnitor's negligence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the limitations on indemnity set forth in this Section shall automatically and without further act by either Landlord or Tenant be deemed amended so as to remove any of the restrictions contained in this Section no longer required by then applicable law. e. DEFINITIONS. As used in any Section establishing indemnity or release of Landlord, "Landlord" shall include Landlord, its partners, officers, employees and management agent for the Property, and "Tenant" shall include Tenant and any person or entity claiming through Tenant. 16. INSURANCE. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain public liability and property damage insurance and products liability insurance with a single combined liability limit of $1,000,000, insuring against all liability of Tenant and its representatives, employees, invitees, and agents arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Public liability insurance, products liability insurance and property damage insurance shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of Section 15. Landlord shall be named as additional insured and the policy shall contain cross-liability endorsements. On all its personal property, at its cost, Tenant shall maintain a policy of standard fire and extended coverage insurance with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements and "all risk" coverage on all Tenant's improvements and alterations, including without limitation, all items of Tenant responsibility described in Section 13 in or about the Premises, to the extent of at least 90% of their full replacement value. The proceeds from any such policy shall be used by Tenant for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of Tenant's improvements or alterations. All insurance required to be provided by Tenant under this Lease: (a) shall be issued by Insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the premises are located with a financial rating of at least an A-IX status as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports; (b) shall be issued as a primary policy, and "premises and operations" insurance shall be on an occurrence basis; and (c) shall contain an endorsement requiring at least 30 days prior written notice of cancellation to Landlord and Landlord's lender, before cancellation or change in coverage, scope or amount of -14- 15 any policy. Tenant shall deliver a certificate or copy of such policy together with evidence of payment of all current premiums to Landlord at least thirty (30) days before the Commencement Date. If Tenant fails at any time to maintain the insurance required by this Lease, and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days of written notice from Landlord then, in addition to all other remedies available under this Lease and applicable law, Landlord may purchase such insurance on Tenant's behalf and the cost of such insurance shall be Additional Rent due within ten (10) days of written invoice from Landlord to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery for loss or damage to property located within or constituting a part or all of the Premises or the Project to the extent that the loss or damage is covered by (a) the injured company's insurance, or (b) the insurance the injured party is required to carry under this Article 16, whichever is greater. This waiver applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have their respective property insurers endorse the applicable insurance policies to reflect the foregoing waiver of claims, provided however, that the endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket waiver shall be acceptable. 17. DESTRUCTION. If during the term, the Premises or Project are destroyed from any cause, or rendered inaccessible or unusable from any cause such that in Landlord's reasonable estimation the Premises cannot be restored within 120 days following such destruction, then Landlord shall notify Tenant and either party may terminate this Lease by delivery of notice to the other within 30 days of receipt of Landlord's notice. If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall commence to restore the Premises in compliance with then existing laws and shall complete such restoration with due diligence. In such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but there shall be an abatement of Base Monthly Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses between the date of destruction and the date of completion of restoration, based on the extent to which destruction interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises. 18. CONDEMNATION. a. TAKING. If all of the Premises are taken by Eminent Domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the Premises and all Base and Additional Rent shall be paid to that date. The term "Eminent Domain" shall include the taking or damaging of property by, through or under any governmental or statutory authority, and any purchase or acquisition in lieu thereof, whether the damaging or taking is by government or any other person. If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, a taking of any part of the Premises by Eminent Domain renders the remainder thereof unusable for the business of Tenant (or the cost of restoration of the Premises is not commercially reasonable), the Lease may, at the option of either party, be terminated by written notice given to the other party not more than thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the taking, and such termination shall be effective as of the date when Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Premises so taken. If this Lease is so terminated, all Base and Additional Rent shall be paid to the date of termination. Whenever any portion of the Premises is taken by Eminent Domain and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall at its expense proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore, to the extent of available proceeds and to the extent it is reasonably prudent to do so, the remainder of the Premises to the condition they were in immediately prior to such taking, -15- 16 and Tenant shall at its expense proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore its personal property and all improvements made by it to the Premises to the same condition they were in immediately prior to such taking. The Base and Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced from the date Tenant is required to partially vacate the Premises in the same proportion that the Rentable Area taken bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises prior to taking. b. AWARD. Landlord reserves all right to the entire damage award or payment for any taking by Eminent Domain, and Tenant waives all claim whatsoever against Landlord for damages for termination of its leasehold interest in the Premises or for interference with its business. Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may now have or hereafter acquire to such damages and agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant shall, however, have the right to claim from the condemning authority all compensation that may be recoverable by Tenant on account of any loss incurred by Tenant in moving Tenant's merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, provided, however, that Tenant may claim such damages only if they are awarded separately in the eminent domain proceeding and not out of or as part of Landlord's damages. 19. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE. Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises or allow any other person or entity (except Tenant's authorized representatives, employees, invitees, or guests) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's consent which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold for tenants meeting Landlord's then existing generally applied standards for creditworthiness and use. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be voidable and at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default. If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law from one person to the other shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of at least 25% of the value of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase "controlling percentage" means ownership of and right to vote stock possessing at least 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for election of directors. This Section 19 shall not apply to corporations the stock of which is traded through an exchange or over the counter. All rent received by Tenant from its subtenants in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord, or any sums to be paid by an assignee to Tenant in consideration of the assignment of this Lease shall be paid to Landlord. If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, $100 or Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection with such request, whichever is greater. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord hereby consents to (provided that Tenant shall notify Landlord in advance of) an assignment of this Lease, or a subletting of all or part of the Premises, to (a) the parent of Tenant or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant or of such parent, (b) any corporation into which or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or (c) any entity to which Tenant sells all or substantially of its assets, provided that the assignee expressly assumes all of Tenant's obligations hereunder and that the -16- 17 net worth of the resulting entity is at least equal to the greater of (i) the net worth of Tenant on the date hereof, or (ii) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale of assets. No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by involuntary assignment through operation of law (including without limitation the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, mates an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is the bankrupt; or if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) if in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant. 20. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) a failure to pay Rent or other charge when due, provided that Landlord shall not exercise any of its rights under this Section 20(a) until Landlord has given Tenant notice of such default and a cure period of three (3) days from receipt of such notice, and Tenant has failed to pay such rent or other charge within such cure period; (b) abandonment and vacation of the Premises (failure to occupy and operate the Premises for ten consecutive days while in monetary default beyond the three (3) day cure period under this Lease shall be conclusively deemed an abandonment and vacation); or (c) failure to perform any other provision of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall not exercise any of its rights under this Section 20(c) until Landlord has given Tenant notice of such default and a cure period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, and Tenant has failed to cure such default within such cure period, provided further that if more than thirty (30) days are required to complete such performance, the cure period shall not be deemed to have run so long as Tenant commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion. The notice required by this Section is intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such requirement. 21. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant is in default. (These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law): Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. Upon termination of Tenant's right to possession, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (2) the worth of the amount of the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of Tenant's right to possession; (3) any other amount, including but not limited to, expenses incurred to relet the Premises, court, attorney and collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's default. "The Worth," as used for Item (1) in this Paragraph 21 is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of 18 percent per annum. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. "The Worth" as used for Item (2) in this Paragraph -17- 18 21 is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of termination of Tenant's right of possession. 22. ENTRY ON PREMISES. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times and after reasonable prior notice to Tenant except in an emergency when no notice is required for any of the following purposes: (a) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) to do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration to the Premises or the Project that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (c) to post "for sales sign" at any time during the term, to post "for rent" or "for lease" signs during the last 90 days of the term, or during any period while Tenant is in default; (d) to show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in leasing or purchasing the Premises, at any time during the last ninety (90) days of the term; or (e) to repair, maintain or improve the Project and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, or nuisance arising out of Landlord's entry onto the Premises as provided in this Section 22. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of Rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Section 22 provided such exercise does not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord shall conduct his activities on the Premises as provided herein in a commercially reasonable manner as to limit inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant to the maximum extent practicable. For each of these purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes. Tenant shall not alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or bolt on any door of the Premises without prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord gives its consent, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock. 23. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee or any beneficiary of a Deed of Trust with a lien on the Project or any ground lessor with respect to the Project, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project, and (b) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Project, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or Deed of Trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord any reasonable additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or Deed of Trust. Landlord and Tenant, within ten days from notice from the other, shall execute and deliver to the other, in recordable form, certificates stating that this Lease is not in default, is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications. This certificate should also state the amount of current monthly Rent, the dates to which Rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit and prepaid Rent. Failure to deliver this certificate within ten days shall be conclusive that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate. -18- 19 24. NOTICE. Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be given in writing to the party's facsimile number or address set forth in Section 1 hereof by any of the following means: (a) personal service; (b) electronic communication, whether by telex, telegram or facsimile; (c) overnight courier; or (d) registered or certified, first class mail, return receipt requested. Such addresses may be changed by notice to the other parties given in the same manner as above provided. Any notice, demand or request sent pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) hereof shall be deemed received upon such personal service or upon dispatch by electronic means with electronic confirmation of receipt. Any notice, demand or request sent pursuant to subsection (c) hereof shall be deemed received on the business day immediately following deposit with the overnight courier and, if sent pursuant to subsection (d), shall be deemed received forty-eight (48) hours following deposit in the U.S. mail. 25. WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Landlord or Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Landlord, including without limitation, acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the term. Only written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish termination of the Lease. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or reader unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the Lease. TENANT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, WHERE TENANT HAS RECEIVED A NOTICE TO CURE DEFAULT (WHETHER RENT OR NON-RENT), NO ACCEPTANCE BY LANDLORD OF RENT SHALL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF SUCH NOTICE, AND, INCLUDING BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, NO ACCEPTANCE BY LANDLORD OF PARTIAL RENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO WAIVE OR CURE ANY RENT DEFAULT. LANDLORD MAY, IN ITS DISCRETION, AFTER RECEIPT OF PARTIAL PAYMENT OF RENT, REFUND SAME AND CONTINUE ANY PENDING ACTION TO COLLECT THE FULL AMOUNT DUE, OR MAY MODIFY ITS DEMAND TO THE UNPAID PORTION. IN EITHER EVENT THE DEFAULT SHALL BE DEEMED UNCURED UNTIL THE FULL AMOUNT IS PAID IN GOOD FUNDS. 26. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER. Upon expiration of the term, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Tenant improvements and alterations in good condition, except for ordinary wear and tear and alterations Tenant has the right or is obligated to remove under the provisions of Section 14 herein and damage by fire or other casualty that is not otherwise Tenant's responsibility under this Lease to repair. Tenant shall remove all personal property including, without limitation, all wallpaper, paneling and other decorative improvements or fixtures and shall perform all restoration made necessary by the removal of any alterations or Tenant's personal property before the expiration of the term, including for example, restoring all wall surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Landlord can elect to retain or dispose of in any manner Tenant's personal property not removed from the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the term. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord's retention or disposition of Tenant's personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's cost for storage, removal or disposal of Tenant's personal property. If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, remains in possession of the Premises after expiration or termination of the term, or after the date in any notice given by Landlord to Tenant terminating -19- 20 this Lease, such possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable as provided under Washington law, by either party. All provisions of this Lease, except those pertaining to term and Rent, shall apply to the month- to-month tenancy. During any holdover term, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent in an amount equal to 125% of Base Monthly Rent for the last full calendar month during the regular term plus 100% of Tenant's share of Expenses pursuant to Section 4.c.3. 27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord's liability under this Lease shall be limited to, and Tenant shall look only to Landlord interest in the Project and the rents and proceeds thereof. 28. BUILDING PLANNING. [Intentionally omitted.] 29. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. a. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Lease. b. SUCCESSOR. This Lease shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors, except as provided in Section 19 herein. c. LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Any consent required by Landlord under this Lease must be granted in writing and may be withheld or conditioned by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. d. COMMISSIONS. Each party represents that it has not had dealings with any real estate broker, finder or other person with respect to this Lease in any manner, except for the broker identified in Section 1, who shall be compensated by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant recognize that it is possible that they may hereafter make additional agreements regarding further extension or renewal of this Lease or a new lease or leases for all or one or more parts of the Premises or other space in the Project for a term or terms commencing after the Commencement Date of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant recognize that it is also possible that they may hereafter modify this Lease to add additional space or to substitute space as part of the Premises. If any such additional agreements, new leases or modifications to this Lease are made, Landlord shall not have any obligation to pay any compensation to any real estate broker or to any other third person engaged by Tenant to render services to Tenant in connection with negotiating such matters, regardless of whether under the circumstances such person is or is not regarded by the law as an agent of Landlord. e. OTHER CHARGES. If either party commences any litigation against the other party or files an appeal of a decision arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit. If Landlord employs a collection agency to recover delinquent charges, Tenant agrees to pay all collection agency and attorneys' fees charged to Landlord in addition to Rent, late charges, interest and other sums payable under this Lease. Tenant shall pay a charge of $75 to Landlord for preparation of a demand for delinquent Rent. f. FORCE MAJEURE. Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereof nor liable for damages arising from its failure to perform its duties or obligations hereunder if such is due to -20- 21 causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, fires, floods, windstorms, earthquakes, strikes or labor disturbances, civil commotion, delays in transportation, governmental delays or war. g. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and Regulations", a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E, and all reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord so long as such modifications to the Rules and Regulations do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business operations or diminish Tenant's express rights under this Lease. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non- performance by any other tenant or occupant of the building or Project of said tenant or occupant's lease or of any of said Rules and Regulations. h. LANDLORD'S SUCCESSORS. In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Project, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability arising under this Lease after the date of such conveyance, and in such event Landlord's successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations of Landlord arising under this Lease after the date of such conveyance. i. INTERPRETATION. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which the premises are located. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Premises and the Project, except for such guarantees or modifications as may be executed in writing by the parties from time to time. When required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and/or neuter. "Party" shall mean Landlord or Tenant. If more than one person or entity constitutes Landlord or Tenant, the obligations imposed upon that party shall be joint and several. The enforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal. j. CLEAN AIR ACT. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any portion of the Premises or the Building accessible for smoking in compliance with WAC 296-62-12000. If Tenant wishes to make any portion of the Premises accessible for smoking, Tenant shall make all improvements necessary to comply with all applicable governmental rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that the indemnity contained in Section 15 of the Lease includes, but is not limited to claims based on the presence of tobacco smoke as a result of the activities of Tenant, its employees, agents, or guests. 30. EARLY TERMINATION. Tenant shall have a one time right to terminate this Lease effective the last day of the 18th month of the Lease Term (the "Early Termination Date") by providing Landlord with at least six (6) months prior written notice of its intent and by paying, not later than the Early Termination Date, an early termination fee of Fourteen Thousand Nine Hundred Dollars ($14,900). Upon Tenant's compliance with such requirements, the Lease shall terminate on the Early Termination Date as by expiration of its term. 31. OPTION TO RENEW. Tenant is granted the right to extend the term of this Lease beyond the expiration date of the initial Lease Term for one (1) successive period of eighteen (18) months (the "Extended Term"). Tenant shall exercise this right by giving Landlord written notice thereof -21- 22 not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Tenn. If Tenant has defaulted in its obligations under this Lease, and failed to cure such defaults within any applicable cure period, then Tenant's right to extend the Lease for the Extended Term shall automatically terminate. Tenant's right to extend the Lease for the Extended Term is personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by any subtenant or assignee of Tenant. Tenant's extension rights shall apply to all of the Premises under lease to Tenant at the time. From and after the commencement of the Extended Term, all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as written, except that there shall be no further right to renew, and Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be adjusted based upon the increase in the Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers, for the Seattle/Tacoma SMSA, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index") which last published as of the Commencement Date ("Beginning Index"). The corresponding index ("Extension Index") which is last published as of the first day of the Extended Term shall be used as a comparison in determining the amount of the Base Rent Increase. Beginning with the rent due in the first month of the Extended Term, the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to equal the product achieved by multiplying the Basic Monthly Rent due with respect to that first paying month of the initial term by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Extension Index and the denominator of which is the Beginning Index, provided that in no event shall the Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term be less than the Base Monthly Rent for the last month of the initial term.
