Tenant shall pay Landlord without demand, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States, the monthly rental as outlined in section l(d) in advance on or before the first day of each month during the Lease Term beginning on the Commencement Date, together with any other additional payments due to Landlord, including Operating Costs (collectively the “Rent”) when required under this Lease. Payments for any partial month at the beginning or end of the Lease term shall be prorated. If any sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are not received by the fifth (5th) day of each month, Tenant shall pay Landlord in addition to the amount due, for the cost of collecting and handling such late payment (“Late Charges”), an amount equal to the greater of $100 or five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount.

In such event, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied. Any payment to Landlord from the security deposit shall not be construed as a payment of liquidated damages for any default.

Tenant shall be responsible for complying with all laws applicable to the Premises as a result of Tenant’s particular use, such as modifications required by the Americans With Disabilities Act as a result of Tenant opening the Premises to the public as a place of public accommodation. If the enactment or enforcement of any law, ordinance, regulation or code during the Lease term requires any changes to the Premises during the Lease term, the Tenant shall perform all such changes at its expense if the changes are required due to the nature of Tenant’s activities at the Premises, excluding uses specified in section l(g) or to alterations that Tenant seeks to make to the Premises; otherwise, Landlord shall perform all such changes at its expense.

Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Building is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied during any calendar year, on a monthly average, then the variable Operating Costs shall be increased to reflect the Operating Costs of the Building as though it were one hundred percent (100%) occupied and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs shall be based upon Operating Costs as so adjusted. Operating Costs shall not include: Landlord’s income tax or general corporate overhead, depreciation on the Building or equipment therein; loan payments; real estate broker’s commissions; capital improvements not described in this paragraph (except for those that apply to newly enacted laws or constitute cost savings and in each case only if amortized over its useful life); improvements which are specific to another Tenants premises; or any costs regarding the operation, maintenance and repair of the Premises, the Building, or the Property paid directly by Tenant or other tenants in the Building. Operating Costs which cannot be separately allocated to the tenants of other structures may include but are not limited to: insurance premiums; taxes and assessments; management (fees and/or personnel costs); exterior lighting; parking lot, road, sidewalk and driveway patching, resurfacing and maintenance; snow and ice removal; and costs of legal services and accounting services. The cost of any replacements of HVAC equipment less than $4,750 per occurrence shall be at the sole expense of Landlord and repaid as part of Tenant’s Operating Expenses. Actual replacement of equipment or repair in excess of $4,750 shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement and repaid as part of Tenants operating expenses. The useful life for replacements shall be determined by an independent mechanical contractor. In no event shall the repairs or replacement of HVAC equipment cause Tenants operating expenses to increase in one year by more than $1.00 per square foot per year.

b.  
Type of Payment: TRIPLE NET. As additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first of each month with payment of Tenant’s base Rent one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs.
d.

i) Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at or before the Commencement Date, a good faith estimate of annual Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs. Landlord shall also provide to Tenant, as soon as possible following the first day of each succeeding calendar year, a good faith estimate of Tenant’s annual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for the then-current year;
(ii) Each estimate of Tenant’s annual Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs determined by Landlord as described above, shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord such monthly installment of Operating Costs with each monthly payment of base Rent. In the event the estimated amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs has not yet been determined for any calendar year, Tenant shall pay the monthly installment in the estimated amount determined for the preceding calendar year until the estimate for the current calendar year has been provided to Tenant. At such time as the estimate for the current calendar year is received, Tenant shall then pay any shortfall or receive a credit for any surplus for the preceding months of the current calendar year and shall, thereafter, make the monthly installment payment in accordance with the current estimate; and (iii) As soon as reasonably possible following the end of each calendar year of the Lease term, but in no event later than April 15th of the following calendar year, Landlord shall determine and provide to Tenant a statement (the “Operating Costs Statement”) setting forth the amount of Operating Costs actually incurred and the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs actually payable by Tenant with respect to such calendar year. In the event the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs exceeds the sum of the monthly installments actually paid by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Operating Costs Statement. In the event the sum of such installments exceeds the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs actually due and owing, the difference shall be applied as a credit to Tenant’s future Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section.
9. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Landlord shall provide the Premises the following services, the cost of which shall be included in the Operating Costs: water, sewage, garbage removal and electricity for the Premises seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, and shall provide janitorial service to the Premises and Building five (5) nights each week, exclusive of holidays.

The current hourly rate charged by Landlord for after hours HVAC is $35. Tenant shall furnish and pay, at Tenant’s sole expense, all other services (including, but not limited to, telephone and cable service if available) and other services which Tenant requires with respect to the Premises, except those to be provided by Landlord as described above.

16. DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION.
a.  
Damage and Repair. If the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy are partially damaged but not rendered untenantable, by fire or other insured casualty, then Landlord shall diligently restore the Premises and the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy and this Lease shall not terminate; provided, however, Tenant may terminate the Lease if Landlord is unable to restore the Premises within six (6) months of the casualty event. The Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy shall not be deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the usable square footage area is damaged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy if insurance proceeds are not available to pay the entire cost of such restoration. If insurance proceeds are available to Landlord but are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of restoration, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and keep the insurance proceeds, by notifying Tenant within sixty (60) days of the date of such casualty. If the Premises, the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy, or 50% or more of the rentable area of the Property are entirely destroyed, or partially damaged and rendered untenantable, by fire or other casualty, Landlord may, at its option: (a) terminate this Lease as provided herein, or (b) restore the Premises and the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy to their previous condition; provided, however, if such casualty event occurs during the last 6 months of the Lease term (after considering any option to extend the term timely exercised by Tenant) then either Tenant or Landlord may elect to terminate the Lease. If, within thirty days (30) after receipt by Landlord from Tenant of written notice that Tenant deems the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy untenantable, Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its election to restore those areas, or if Landlord is unable to restore those areas within six (6) months of the date of the casualty event, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease. If Landlord restores the Premises or the Property under this Section 16(a), Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete the work, and the base Rent shall be abated in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the leased Premises, provided that there shall be a rent abatement only if the damage or destruction of the Premises or the Property did not result from, or was not contributed to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors. Provided, Landlord complies with its obligations under this Section, no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance directly, incidentally or consequentially arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or the Property. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind for the protection of Tenant or on Tenant’s furniture or on any fixtures, equipment, or appurtenances of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same unless the damage is caused by Landlord’s negligence.

b.  
Condemnation. If the Premises, the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy, or 50% or more of the rentable area of the Property are made untenantable by eminent domain, or conveyed under a threat of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate at the option of either Landlord or Tenant as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the condemning authority first has possession of the Premises or the portion of the Property and all Rents and other payments shall be paid to that date. In case of taking of a part of the Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy that does not render those areas untenantable, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the base Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the floor area of any structures is reduced, such reduction in Rent to be effective as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority first has possession of such portion or title vests in the condemning authority. The Premises or the portion of the Property necessary for Tenant’s occupancy shall not be deemed untenantable if less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each of those areas are condemned. Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award from the condemning authority attributable to the value of the Premises or the Property and Tenant shall make no claim for the value of its leasehold. Tenant shall be permitted to make a separate claim against the condemning authority for moving expenses or damages resulting from interruption in its business.
17. INSURANCE.
a.  
Liability Insurance. During the Lease term, Tenant shall pay for and maintain commercial general liability insurance with broad form property damage and contractual liability endorsements. This policy shall name Landlord as an additional insured, and shall insure Tenant’s activities and those of Tenant’s employees, officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees or visitors with respect to the Premises against loss, damage or liability for personal injury or death or loss or damage to property with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.

In no event shall the limit of such policies be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.
d.  
Landlord Insurance. Landlord shall carry standard form extended coverage fire insurance of the building shell and core in the amount of their full replacement value, and such other insurance of such types and amounts as Landlord, in its discretion, shall deem reasonably appropriate.

e.  
Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and any other tenant, their agents or employees, from responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of recovery for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by insurance required to be carried by each of them. Each party shall provide notice to the insurance carrier or carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation, and shall cause its respective insurance carriers to waive all rights of subrogation against the other. This waiver shall not apply to the extent of the deductible amounts to any such policies or to the extent of liabilities exceeding the limits of such policies.
18. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless against all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from any negligent or wrongful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises as a result of any act, omission or negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors, or arising from any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall use legal counsel acceptable to Landlord in defense of any action within Tenant’s defense obligation. Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from any negligent or wrongful act or omission of Landlord or Landlord’s officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors on or around the Premises or arising from any breach of this Lease by Landlord. Landlord shall use legal counsel acceptable to Tenant in defense of any action within Landlord’s defense obligation. The provisions of this section 17 shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
With the exception of a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease (collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested Transfer within five (5) business days of written request by Tenant. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease notwithstanding Landlord’s consent to such Transfer. Consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for Landlord’s consent to any subsequent Transfer. If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, redemption or liquidation, or any change(s) in the ownership of, or power to vote, which singularly or collectively represents a majority of the beneficial interest in Tenant, shall constitute a Transfer under this Section. As a condition to Landlord’s approval, if given, any potential assignee or sublessee otherwise approved by Landlord shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant and any guarantor, if required, for the payment of Rent and performance of all terms of this Lease. In connection with any Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all assignments, subleases and assumption instruments. With reasonable notice to Landlord (not prior consent), Tenant shall be permitted to sublease or assign all or any portion of its Premises, to any related entity or affiliate of Tenant, whether by merger, consolidation or any successor entity, (collectively referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”) without having the obligation of securing the Landlord’s approval or consent, and Landlord shall not participate in any profits from said subleasing.

20. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens created by or through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from liability from any such liens including, without limitation, liens arising from any Alterations. If a lien is filed against the Premises by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, immediately furnish to Landlord a bond in form and amount and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord and the Premises against all liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Landlord could reasonably incur as a result of such lien(s).
21. DEFAULT. The following occurrences shall each be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant:
a.  
Failure To Pay. Tenant fails to pay any sum, including Rent or NNN operating expense, due under this Lease following five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of the failure to pay.
b.  
Vacation/Abandonment. Tenant vacates the Premises (defined as an absence for at least 30 consecutive days without prior notice to Landlord), or Tenant abandons the Premises (defined as an absence of fifteen (15) days or more while Tenant is in breach of some other term of this Lease). Tenant’s vacation or abandonment of the Premises shall not be subject to any notice or right to cure.
c.  
Insolvency. Tenant becomes insolvent, voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or a receiver, assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed for Tenant’s business, provided that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, the existence of such proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default only if such proceeding is not dismissed or vacated within 60 days after its institution or commencement.
d.  
Levy or Execution. Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, is taken by execution or other process of law directed against Tenant, or is taken upon or subjected to any attachment by any creditor of Tenant, if such attachment is not discharged within 15 days after being levied.
e.  
Other Non-Monetary Defaults. Tenant breaches any agreement, term or covenant of this Lease other than one requiring the payment of money and not otherwise enumerated in this Section, and the breach continues for a period of 30 days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant of the breach.

12 of 28


 

22. REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies upon an Event of Default. Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law.
a. Termination of Lease. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s interest under the Lease, but no act by Landlord other than written notice from Landlord to Tenant of termination shall terminate this Lease. The Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the notice of termination. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant under this Lease for the balance of the Lease term, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to the termination, after deducting all reasonable Landlord’s Reletting Expenses (as defined below). Landlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Lease or alternatively, Landlord may accelerate Tenant’s obligations under the Lease and recover from Tenant: (i) unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided (discounting such amount by the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%); and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of Default, including without limitation Reletting Expenses described in Section 22b.
b. Re-Entry and Reletting. Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel the Tenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under the Tenant, and remove the personal property of either. Landlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, in Landlord’s name, for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the Premises. Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate the Lease. During the Event of Default, Tenant will pay Landlord the rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease if repossession had not occurred, plus the net proceeds, if any, after reletting the Premises, after deducting Landlord’s reasonable Reletting Expenses. “Reletting Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises, including without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, remodeling and repair costs, costs for removing and storing Tenant’s property and equipment, and rent concessions granted by Landlord to any new Tenant, prorated over the life of the new lease with Tenant responsible for its pro rata share of the reasonable Reletting Expenses. Tenants pro rata share shall be defined as Tenants remaining lease term in months divided by the total lease term of the new lease in months.
c. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, hereby waives and surrenders all rights and privileges which they may have under any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease term, as it may have been extended.
d. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were payments of Rent, and Landlord shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent.

 

13 of 28


 

e. Failure to Remove Property. If Tenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at Landlord’s request following an uncured Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store the property at Tenant’s expense and risk. If Tenant does not pay the storage cost within five (5) business days of Landlord’s request, Landlord may, at its option, have any or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Landlord may become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Landlord deems proper, without notice to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of such sale: (i) to the expense of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred; (ii) to the payment of the costs or charges for storing such property; (iii) to the payment of any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any, to Tenant. Nothing in this Section shall limit Landlord’s right to sell Tenant’s personal property as permitted by law to foreclose Landlord’s lien for unpaid rent.
23. MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Lease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created by Landlord which is now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances, interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions (“Landlord’s Mortgage”), provided the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord’s Mortgage shall elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect. Tenant shall attorn to the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any Landlord’s Mortgage provided such person(s) assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall promptly and in no event later than fifteen (15) days execute, acknowledge and deliver documents which the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage may reasonably require as further evidence of this subordination and attornment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s obligations under this Section are conditioned on the holder of each of Landlord’s Mortgage and each person acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Landlord’s Mortgage not disturbing Tenant’s occupancy and other rights under this Lease, so long as no uncured Event of Default exists.
24. NON-WAIVER. Landlord’s waiver of any breach of any term contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same term for subsequent acts of Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent or other amounts due by Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant preceding such acceptance.
25. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have the right to remain in the Premises on a month-to-month basis for up to three (3) months (“Permitted Holdover”) after the Lease expiration under the same terms and conditions that are in effect upon Lease expiration. After the Permitted Holdover period Tenant shall have the right to holdover with Landlords consent, such tenancy shall be deemed to be on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated according to Washington law. During such tenancy, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord 125% the rate of rental last payable under this Lease, unless Landlord and Tenant agree upon a different rate. All other terms of the Lease shall remain in effect. Under no conditions shall Tenant be liable for consequential and/or special damages as a result of any holdover.
26. NOTICES. All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and effective (i) when delivered in person, (ii) three (3) days after being sent by registered or certified mail to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at the Notice Addresses set forth in Section 1(h); or (iii) upon confirmed transmission by facsimile to such persons at the facsimile numbers set forth in Section 1(h) or such other addresses/facsimile numbers as may from time to time be designated by such parties in writing.
27. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If Tenant or Landlord engage the services of an attorney to collect monies due or to bring any action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or other payments, or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees in such suit, at trial and on appeal.

28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon written request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee a written statement specifying the following, subject to any modifications necessary to make such statements true and complete: (i) the date the Lease term commenced and the date it expires; (ii) the amount of minimum monthly Rent and the date to which such Rent has been paid; (iii) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way; (iv) that this Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties; (v) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied; (vi) that there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets which the Tenant has against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord; (vii) that no Rent has been paid more than one month in advance; and (viii) that no security has been deposited with Landlord (or, if so, the amount thereof). A prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest or assignee of any mortgage or new mortgagee of Landlord’s interest in the Premises may rely upon any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section. If Tenant shall fail to respond within ten(10) business days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee.
29. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST. This Lease shall be assignable by Landlord without the consent of Tenant. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, other than a transfer for security purposes only, upon the assumption of this Lease by the transferee, Landlord shall be automatically relieved of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the date of such transfer, except for any retained security deposit or prepaid rent, and Tenant shall attorn to the transferee. See section 32. Not to adversely impact Tenant’s lease.
30. RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Tenant shall fail to timely pay any sum or perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord for its expenses incurred in making such payment or performance. Landlord shall (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord provided by law) have the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of sums due under this Section as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.
31. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Landlord represent and warrants that to the best of its knowledge after investigation and inquiry, that Landlord has not used the Building to treat, store, refine, process, or dispose of hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or toxic substances, as those terms are defined under CERCLA, 43 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., RECR, 52 U.S.C. 6901, et seq., or TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2401 et seq. (hereinafter “Hazardous Materials”) except as is normal in the operation of a commercial office building, including but not limited to janitorial supplies and duplicating supplies. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, there is no “Hazardous Material” (as defined below) on, in, or under the Premises as of the Commencement Date except as otherwise disclosed to Tenant in writing before the execution of this Lease. If there is any Hazardous Material on, in, or under the Premises as of the Commencement Date which has been or thereafter becomes unlawfully released through no fault of Tenant, then Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses including without limitation sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and expert fees, incurred or suffered by Tenant either during or after the Lease term as the result of such contamination. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept, or used in or about, or disposed of on the Premises by Tenant, its agents,

 

15 of 28


 

employees, contractors or invitees, except in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, codes and ordinances. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses including, without limitation, diminution in the value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises, or elsewhere, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space at the Premises, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and expert fees incurred or suffered by Landlord either during or after the Lease term. These indemnifications by Landlord and Tenant include, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, whether or not required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision, because of Hazardous Material present in the Premises, or in soil or ground water on or under the Premises. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any inquiry, investigation or notice that Tenant may receive from any third party regarding the actual or suspected presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, results in any unlawful release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises or any other property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole expense, as are necessary to return the Premises or any other property, to the condition existing prior to the release of any such Hazardous Material; provided that Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous, dangerous, toxic or harmful substance, material or waste including biomedical waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of Washington or the United States Government, due to its potential harm to the health, safety or welfare of humans or the environment. The provisions of this Section 30 shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
32. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of its obligations in this Lease, Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, or by the holders of any Landlord’s Mortgage or any successor thereto will not disturb Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of the possession of the Premises.
33. GENERAL.
a.  
Heirs and Assigns. This Lease shall apply to and be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
b.  
Brokers’ Fees. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not engaged any broker, finder or other person who would be entitled to any commission or fees for the negotiation, execution, or delivery of this Lease other than as disclosed in Section 35 of this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any loss, cost, liability or expense incurred by Landlord as a result of any claim asserted by any such broker, finder or other person on the basis of any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Tenant. This subparagraph shall not apply to brokers with whom Landlord has an express written brokerage agreement.
