2. AGREEMENT TO SUBLEASE PREMISES. Sublandlord hereby agrees to lease to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby agrees to lease from Sublandlord the Premises as is and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord will construct tenant improvements for other Subtenants in the Building during the Term. Subtenant and its employees, agents and customers will be subject to noise and construction debris commonly encountered in connection with the construction of tenant improvements for other tenants that Sublandlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and which shall not be subject to the provisions in Section 31 below. Sublandlord also grants to Subtenant a license and nonexclusive right to the use of all Common Areas (defined below) located from time to time in the Building and at the Property and the benefit of all other easements, rights, and provisions of any covenants and restrictions pertaining to the Property or Building and intended for the common use and enjoyment of other occupants and subtenants thereof.
3. TERM AND CONDITION OF PREMISES.
3.1. Term. The Sublease shall commence on the Commencement Date set forth in Section 1.2 and shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1.3, unless the Sublease is sooner terminated as provided herein (Term). Sublandlord will deliver the Premises to Subtenant with the work Sublandlord has agreed to perform set forth on Exhibit E, attached hereto and incorporated herein (Sublandlords Work). In the event Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the Projected Commencement Date, Subtenant shall receive one (1) days worth of Base Rent abatement for each one (1) day after the Projected Commencement Date on which the Premises are delivered, with the benefit of such abatement to be applied to the sixth months Monthly Base Rent. Monthly Base Rent shall not abate, however, if delivery of possession of the Premises is delayed by acts or omissions of Subtenant (or, up to a total of thirty (30) days, force majeure events), or acts or omissions of the City of Seattle or the Pioneer Square Preservation Board. If the Commencement Date is delayed beyond the first (1st) anniversary of the Projected Commencement Date, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease, and receive a full refund of any advance rent or other deposits or sums or charges paid to Sublandlord. If Subtenant does not elect to terminate as aforesaid, the foregoing Monthly Base Rent abatement shall continue to accrue.
The Sublease Term may be extended as set forth in Section 3.3. References herein to Term shall also include the Option Term(s) if the Option set forth below is exercised.
3.2. Condition of Premises. Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, Sublandlord makes no representations or warranties to Subtenant regarding the condition of the Premises, including the structural condition of the Premises or the condition of mechanical, electrical, and other systems on or serving the Premises or the Building. By signing this Sublease, Subtenant acknowledges that it has had adequate opportunity to investigate the Premises and the Building, acknowledges responsibility for making any corrections, alterations and repairs to the Premises other than Sublandlords

Work, and acknowledges that the time needed to complete any such items, other than Sublandlords Work, shall not delay the Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, Sublandlord represents to Subtenant that (i) Sublandlord has the authority to enter into this Sublease and its execution and delivery by Sublandlord has been duly authorized; (ii) to the best of Sublandlords knowledge as of the Commencement Date, the Premises, all Common Areas at the Building, all electrical, HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, and fire/life safety systems in the Building (the Buildings Systems) will comply with applicable laws, codes, and ordinances; (iii) to the best of Sublandlords knowledge all Building Systems are, or will be on the Commencement Date, in reasonably good working order and condition.
3.3. Options to Renew. Provided Subtenant is not, at the time of its notice of exercise described below, in uncured default under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, Subtenant may extend this Sublease for up to three (3) additional Five (5) year terms (each an Option Term) on the same terms and conditions set forth herein, except that the Monthly Base Rent for the first year of each Option Term shall be adjusted to the Fair Market Value, as defined in Section 3.4(c), for similar properties in the area but not less than the Monthly Base Rent for the last year of the Sublease Term. Subtenant must give Sublandlord not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days written notice of its intent to exercise the Option Term.
3.4. Option to Expand and [***]. Sublandlord hereby agrees that during the Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have a right of expansion (Expansion Right) and [***] with respect to all of the 4,757 rentable square foot area set forth as Office 201 on Exhibit A-1 hereto (Expansion Space).
(a) Subject to Section 3.4(b), Subtenant may exercise its Expansion Right with respect to the Expansion Space at any time during the Term of the Sublease. If Subtenant exercises its Expansion Right within the first twelve (12) months following the Commencement Date, the Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be $21.00 per rentable square foot. If Subtenant exercises the Expansion Right after the first twelve (12) months following the Commencement Date, the Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be determined based on the Fair Market Value, as defined in Section 3.4(c), for the Expansion Space.
(b) [***].
(c) Fair Market Value means the prevailing market rate for comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building for gross rent (i.e., inclusive of operating expenses and taxes, but excluding electricity) for office space (like that existing in the Premises on the date on which the Fair Market Value is being calculated) taking into account the size of the space and the length of the term of the Sublease with respect to such space. Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of its determination of the Fair Market Value within ten (10) days. If Subtenant disagrees with Sublandlords determination of
Multi-Tenant Lease Triple Net | Page 6 | |
[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
the Fair Market Value, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall confer for a period of thirty (30) days in an attempt to agree on the Fair Market Value. In the event Sublandlord and Subtenant fail to reach an agreement on such rental rate within such thirty (30) day period, then the Fair Market Value that will be used in computing Monthly Base Rent shall be determined as follows: Within five (5) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described above, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each select an appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience in the market in which the Building is located. If the two appraisers are unable to agree within ten (10) days after their selection, they shall select a similarly qualified third appraiser (the Neutral Appraiser). Within twenty (20) days after selection of the Neutral Appraiser, the three appraisers shall simultaneously exchange determinations of the Fair Market Value. If the lowest appraisal is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the highest appraisal, then the three appraisals shall be averaged and the result shall be the Fair Market Value. If the lowest appraisal is less than ninety percent (90%) of the highest appraisal, then the Fair Market Value shall be deemed the rate set forth in the appraisal submitted by an appraiser appointed by a party that is closest in dollar amount to the appraisal submitted by the Neutral Appraiser. If the Fair Market Value has not been determined on or before the Commencement Date for the relevant space, Subtenant shall begin paying Base Monthly Rent at the rate Subtenant is paying for the Premises, and Subtenant and Sublandlord shall make any necessary adjusting payments when the Fair Market Value is determined. Each party shall pay the cost of its own appraiser and the parties shall share the cost of the Neutral Appraiser equally. Subtenant may rescind the exercise of its expansion right with respect to any portion of the Expansion Space within ten (10) days following the determination of Fair Market Value for such space.
4. RENT. All Rent (as defined in Section 4.4, below) payments shall be made without any prior demand and therefore without deduction or offset to the Sublandlord at the address set forth in Section 1.8.
4.1. Payment of Monthly Base Rent. Subtenant agrees to pay the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises on or before the first day of each calendar month. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord Monthly Base Rent due for the sixth (6th) month of the Term plus the Security Deposit when Subtenant executes the Sublease. The Monthly Base Rent shall be paid to the Sublandlord at such place as Sublandlord may from time to time designate in writing.
4.2. Additional Rent.
(a) Real Property Taxes. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord as Additional Rent (as defined in Section 4.2(d), below), in the manner described below, an amount equal to Subtenants Pro Rata Share of Real Property Taxes, defined below, payable by Sublandlord for the Property in any full or partial calendar year. Real Property Taxes shall mean real and personal property taxes, assessments, including omit tax (but excluding any such omit tax properly allocable to periods prior to the Commencement Date of this Sublease), and other governmental impositions and charges

of every kind and nature, now or hereafter imposed, including surcharges with respect thereto and interest thereon with respect to assessments amortized over a period exceeding one year, which may during the Term of this Sublease be levied, assessed, imposed, or otherwise become due and payable with respect to the Property, including the Subtenant improvements, and the Property and all improvements, fixtures, and equipment thereon, or the use, occupancy or possession thereof; taxes on Property of Subtenant which have not been paid by Subtenant directly to the taxing authority; any taxes levied or assessed upon or measured by the Premises, the Building, or the Property, or any amounts received by Sublandlord in connection therewith or hereunder, but not including any federal or state net income, estate, inheritance, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, or capital stock tax, or any income taxes arising out of or related to ownership and operation of income-producing real estate, any Real Property Taxes allocable to any time prior to the Commencement Date hereof or after the expiration or earlier termination hereof. All Real Property Taxes due hereunder shall be determined with respect to the period for which such taxes are (or would have been if timely levied) due and payable; and any taxes levied or assessed in lieu of, or as a substitute for, the foregoing in whole or part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event rental income becomes subject to Washington business and occupation tax, such business and occupation tax shall be subject to this Section 4.2(a).
(b) Operating Expenses. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord as Additional Rent, in the manner described below, an amount equal to Subtenants Pro Rata Share of the Propertys Operating Expenses, defined below, payable by Sublandlord in any full or partial calendar year. Operating Expenses shall mean all expenses paid or incurred by Sublandlord for maintaining, operating and repairing the Property and the personal property used in conjunction therewith, including, without limitation, the costs of utility and other services not paid separately by Subtenant, services of independent contractors, compensation, including employment taxes and fringe benefits, of all persons who perform duties in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property and its equipment, insurance premiums, licenses, permits and inspection fees, commercially reasonable management fees of four percent (4%) of the gross base rents for the Building, commercially reasonable legal and accounting expenses, amortization of capital improvements that Sublandlord reasonably anticipates will improve the operating efficiency of the Property, but the amortization expense shall not exceed reasonably expected savings in operating costs resulting from such capital improvements, and any other expense or charge, which in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices would be considered an expense of maintaining, operating or repairing the Property, but excluding costs of any special services rendered to individual Subtenants, including Subtenant, for which a special charge is made.
(c) Common Area Maintenance Expenses. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord as Additional Rent, in the manner described below, an amount equal to Subtenants Pro Rata Share of the Common Area Maintenance Expenses, defined below, for the Property incurred or payable by Sublandlord with respect to the Common Areas

(defined below) of the Property in any partial or full calendar year. The terms Common Area Maintenance Expenses shall mean all expenses paid or incurred by Sublandlord for maintaining, operating and repairing the common areas of the Property, including, without limitation, that portion of the Deck that does not include the Patio, stairways, elevators, hallways, lobby, rooftop, parking areas, landscaping, and restrooms open to use by more than one Subtenant (Common Areas), including costs of obtaining services and products for maintaining, operating and repairing such Common Areas and the personal property used in conjunction therewith, services of independent contractors compensation, including employment taxes and fringe benefits, of all persons who perform duties in connection with the operation, maintenance, repair of the Common Areas, insurance premiums, personal property taxes, licenses, seasonal decorations, activities and events, permits and inspection fees, amortization of capital improvements that Sublandlord reasonably anticipates will improve the operating efficiency of the Common Areas, but such amortization expenses shall not exceed reasonably expected savings in operating costs resulting from such capital improvements, and any other expense or charge described, which in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management practices would be considered an expense of maintaining, operating or repairing the Common Areas of the Property. In no event shall any such charges, modifications or alterations to the Common Areas increase Subtenants Pro Rata Share as specified in Section 1.9. Sublandlord acknowledges that Subtenants acceptance of the Sublease is based on the condition and location of the parking, loading, and Common Areas of the Property and Premises as of the Commencement Date herein. Sublandlord shall, at all times, act in good faith and with due diligence to minimize interruption, reduction or discontinuation as to not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Subtenants business operations in the Premises.
In no event shall Operating Expenses or Common Area Maintenance Expenses include, and Subtenant shall not be required by this Sublease to pay for, the following: (i) costs of any special services rendered to individual Subtenants, including Subtenant, for which a special charge is made; (ii) any capital costs except as expressly permitted above; (iii) interest, charges and fees incurred on debt, payment on mortgages and rent under ground leases; and all costs expended in connection with any sale, hypothecation, financing, refinancing, or ground lease of the Building or Property or of the Sublandlords interest therein; (iv) costs occasioned by casualties that would be covered by an all-risk property insurance policy (including earthquake and flood) or by other insurance actually carried by Sublandlord, insurance deductibles greater than $20,000 per calendar year, or self-insured retentions or co-insurance of any type; (v) administrative fees if property management fees are already included in Operating Expenses or Common Area Maintenance Expenses; (vi) reserves for any purposes; (vii) depreciation for any of the real or personal property associated with the Building or Property, including depreciation of any leasehold improvements; (viii) any duplicative charges (i.e., costs includable in Operating Expense shall not be includable in Common Area Maintenance Expenses); (ix) leasing expenses such as commissions, attorneys fees, auditing fees, and other costs incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with subtenants or negotiating or enforcing
Multi-Tenant Lease Triple Net | Page 9 | |

leases and lease-related documents; and (x) costs incurred to remove or remediate any hazardous materials or substances from the Property existing in, on or under the Property as of the Commencement Date and any judgments, fines, penalties, or other costs incurred in connection with any hazardous material or substance exposure or release.
(d) Manner of Payment. Subtenants Pro Rata Share of Real Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, and Common Area Maintenance Expenses, is sometimes collectively referred to herein as Additional Rent.
(1) Sublandlord may reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Subtenant shall owe for Additional Rent for any full or partial calendar year of the Term. Subtenant shall pay such estimated amounts of Additional Rent, on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each such calendar month. Such estimate may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Sublandlord. The estimate for the first year of the Term is approximately $0.58 per rentable square foot per month.
(2) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Sublandlord shall provide a statement (the Statement) to Subtenant showing: (a) the amount of actual Additional Rent for such calendar year, with a listing of amounts for major categories of Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes, and Common Area Maintenance Expenses, (b) any amount paid by Subtenant toward such Additional Rent during such calendar year on an estimated basis and (c) any revised estimate of Subtenants obligations for Additional Rent for the current calendar year.
(3) If the Statement shows that Subtenants estimated payments were less than Subtenants actual obligations for Additional Rent for such year, Subtenant shall pay the difference. If the Statement shows an increase in Subtenants estimated payments for the current calendar year, Subtenant shall pay the difference between the new and former estimates, for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent. Subtenant shall make such payments within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord sends the Statement.
(4) If the Statement shows that Subtenants estimated payments exceeded Subtenants actual obligations for Additional Rent, Subtenant shall receive a credit for the difference against payments of Rent next due. If the Term shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Subtenant shall receive a refund of such difference, within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord sends the Statement.
(5) So long as Subtenants obligations hereunder are not materially adversely affected thereby, Sublandlord reserves the right to reasonably change, from time to time, the manner or timing of the foregoing payments. In lieu of providing one (1) Statement covering Real Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, and Common Area Maintenance Expenses, Sublandlord may provide separate statements, at the same or different times. No delay by Sublandlord in providing the Statement, or
Multi-Tenant Lease Triple Net | Page 10 | |
[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
separate statements, shall be deemed in default by Sublandlord or a waiver of Sublandlords right to require payment of Subtenants obligations for actual or estimated Real Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, or Common Area Maintenance Expenses.
(e) Proration. If the Term commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Subtenants obligations to pay estimated and actual amounts towards Additional Rent for such first or final calendar year shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included in the Term. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual, as the case may be, Additional Rent, for such calendar years by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Term during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365. Other amounts payable or to be expended pursuant to this Sublease on an annual or quarterly basis shall be similarly prorated.
(f) Sublandlords Records. The initial determination of Additional Rent shall be made by Sublandlord. Sublandlord or its agents shall keep records in reasonable detail showing all expenditures made or items enumerated above, which records shall be available for inspection and auditing by Subtenant at its cost at any reasonable time on reasonable notice. Subtenant reserves the right to object to any statement provided by Sublandlord, provided that nothing shall relieve Subtenant of making payments of Additional Rent as determined by Sublandlord as and when required hereunder.
4.3. Late Charges and Default Interest. If Subtenant fails to pay when due Rent or other amounts or charges which Subtenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Sublease, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowed by law. Subtenant acknowledges that the late payment of any installment of Monthly Base Rent will cause Sublandlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Sublease, including without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any such installment is not received by Sublandlord within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such installment. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Sublandlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Subtenant. Acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenants default with respect to such nonpayment by Subtenant nor prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Sublandlord under this Sublease.
4.4. Rent and Other Charges. Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any other amounts which Subtenant is or becomes obligated to pay Sublandlord under this Sublease or other agreement entered into in connection herewith, are sometimes herein referred to collectively as Rent and all remedies applicable to the nonpayment of Rent shall be applicable thereto

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Subtenant agrees to deposit with Sublandlord the Security Deposit set forth at Section 1.6 upon execution of this Sublease, as security for Subtenants faithful performance of its obligations under this Sublease. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Sublandlord and Sublandlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Subtenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and any attempt by Subtenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Sublandlord.

If Sublandlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Subtenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefore, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited; Subtenants failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Sublandlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 21 hereof. Within fifteen (15) days after the Term (or any extension thereof) has expired or Subtenant has vacated the Premises, whichever shall last occur, and provided Subtenant is not then in default on any of its obligations hereunder, Sublandlord shall return the Security Deposit to Subtenant, or, if Subtenant has assigned its interest under this Sublease, to the last assignee of Subtenant. If Sublandlord sells its interest in the Premises, Sublandlord may deliver this deposit to the purchaser of Sublandlords interest and thereupon be relieved of any further liability or obligation with respect to the Security Deposit.

Sublandlord shall be entitled to either collect damages from Subtenant monthly on the days on which Rent or other amounts would have been payable under the Sublease, or alternatively, Sublandlord may accelerate Subtenants obligations under the Sublease and recover from Subtenant: (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 Subtenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; (iii) the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term of the Sublease after the time of award exceeds the amount of Rent loss that Subtenant 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 one percent (1%)); and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Subtenants failure to perform its obligations under the Sublease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from the Event of Default, including without limitation Reletting Expenses described in Section 21.2.
21.2. Re-entry and Reletting. Sublandlord may continue this Sublease in full force and effect, and without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, expel the Subtenant from the Premises and anyone claiming through or under the Subtenant, and remove the personal property of either. Sublandlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, in Sublandlords or Subtenants name for the account of Subtenant, for such period of time and at such other terms and conditions, as Sublandlord, in its discretion, may determine. Sublandlord may collect and receive the Rents for the Premises. Re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Sublandlord under this Section shall not be construed as an election on Sublandlords part to terminate this Sublease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Subtenant. Sublandlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate the Sublease. During the Event of Default, Subtenant will pay Sublandlord the Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Sublease if repossession had not occurred, plus the net proceeds if any, after reletting the Premises, after deducting Sublandlords Reletting Expenses. Reletting

Expenses is defined to include all expenses incurred by Sublandlord 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 Subtenants property and equipment, and Rent concessions granted by Sublandlord to any new Subtenant, prorated over the life of the new lease. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of any Subtenant default hereunder.
21.3. Waiver of Redemption Rights. Subtenant, for itself, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Subtenant, 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 Sublease for the Sublease term, as it may have been extended.
21.4. Nonpayment of Additional Rent. All costs which Subtenant agrees to pay to Sublandlord pursuant to this Sublease shall in the event of nonpayment be treated as if they were payments of Rent, and Sublandlord shall have all the rights herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Rent.
21.5. Failure to Remove Property. If Subtenant fails to remove any of its property from the Premises at Sublandlords request following an uncured Event of Default, Sublandlord may, at its option and without notice, remove and store the property at Subtenants expense and risk. If Subtenant does not pay the storage cost within five (5) days of Sublandlords request, Sublandlord may, at its option, have any or all of such property sold at public or private sale (and Sublandlord may become a purchaser at such sale), in such manner as Sublandlord deems proper, without notice to Subtenant. Sublandlord 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 Sublandlord from Subtenant under any of the terms hereof; and (iv) the balance, if any, to Subtenant. Nothing in this Section shall limit Sublandlords right to sell Subtenants personal property as permitted by law to foreclose Sublandlords lien for unpaid rent.
22. MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. This Sublease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust created by Sublandlord which is now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises including any advances, interest, modifications, renewals, replacements or extensions (Sublandlords Mortgage), provided the holder of any Sublandlords Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Sublandlords Mortgage shall elect to continue this Sublease in full force and effect. Subtenant shall attorn to the holder of any Sublandlords Mortgage or any person(s) acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any Sublandlords Mortgage provided such person(s) assume the obligations of Sublandlord under this Sublease. Subtenant shall promptly and in no event later than fifteen (15) days execute, acknowledge and

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
deliver documents which the holder of any Sublandlords Mortgage may reasonably require as further evidence of this subordination and attornment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenants obligations under this Section are conditioned on the holder of each of Sublandlords Mortgage and each person acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any such Sublandlords Mortgage not disturbing Subtenants occupancy and other rights under this Sublease, so long as no uncured Event of Default exists.
23. NON-WAIVER. Sublandlords waiver of any breach of any term contained in this Sublease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same term for subsequent acts of Subtenant. The acceptance by Sublandlord of Rent or other amounts due by Subtenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Subtenant preceding such acceptance.
24. HOLDOVER. If Subtenant shall, without the written consent of Sublandlord, hold over after the expiration or termination of the Term, such tenancy shall be deemed to be on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated according to Washington law. During such tenancy, Subtenant agrees to pay to Sublandlord one hundred fifty percent (150%) the Monthly Base Rent last payable under this Sublease, unless a different rate is agreed upon by Sublandlord. All other terms of the Sublease shall remain in effect.
25. NOTICES. All notices under this Sublease shall be in writing and effective (i) when delivered by recognized overnight delivery service or in person, or (ii) three (3) days after being sent by registered or certified mail to Sublandlord or Subtenant, as the case may be, at the Notice Addresses set forth in Section 1.8.
26. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES. If Subtenant or Sublandlord 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 Sublease, including any suit by Sublandlord 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. Prevailing Party shall include without limitation (a) a party who dismisses an action in exchange for sums allegedly due; (b) the party who receives performance from the other party of an alleged breach or a desired remedy that is substantially equivalent to the relief sought in an action or proceeding; or (c) the party determined to be the prevailing party by an arbitrator or a court of law.
27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Subtenant shall, from time to time, upon written request of Sublandlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord 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 Sublease Term commenced and the date it expires; (ii) the amount of Monthly Base Rent and the date to which such Rent has been paid; (iii) that this Sublease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way; (iv) that this

Sublease represents the entire agreement between the parties; (v) that all conditions under this Sublease to be performed by Sublandlord have been satisfied; (vi) that there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets which the Subtenant has against the enforcement of this Sublease by Sublandlord; (vii) that no Rent has been paid more than one month in advance; and (viii) that no security has been deposited with Sublandlord (or, if so, the amount thereof). Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser of Sublandlords interest or assignee of any mortgage or new mortgagee of Sublandlords interest in the Premises. If Subtenant shall fail to respond within ten (10) business days of receipt by Subtenant of a written request by Sublandlord as herein provided, Subtenant 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 Sublandlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee, or, in Sublandlords sole discretion, such failure shall be deemed an un-curable Event of Default.
28. TRANSFER OF SUBLANDLORDS INTEREST. This Sublease shall be assignable by Sublandlord without the consent of Subtenant. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Sublandlords interest in the Property or the Premises, other than a transfer for security purposes only, upon the assumption of this Sublease by the transferee, Sublandlord 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 Subtenant shall attorn to the transferee.
29. RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Subtenant shall fail to timely pay any sum or perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Sublandlord may make any such payment or perform any such other act on Subtenants part to be made or performed as provided in this Sublease. Subtenant shall, on demand, reimburse Sublandlord for its expenses reasonably incurred in making such payment or performance. Sublandlord shall (in addition to any other right or remedy of Sublandlord provided by law) have the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of sums due under this Section 29 as in the case of default by Subtenant in the payment of Rent.
30. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Subtenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to be brought upon, kept, or used in or about, or disposed of on the Premises or the Property (or migrate off the Property) by Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, except in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, codes and ordinances. If Subtenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, then Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses including, without limitation, diminution in the value of the Property or the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Property or the Premises, or elsewhere, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space at the Property, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys fees, consultant fees and expert fees (collectively, Claims) incurred or suffered by Sublandlord either during or after the Sublease Term

and which relate to Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, or used in or about, or disposed of on the Premises or Property (or which migrate off the Property) by Subtenant. Claims include without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, 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, on or under the Property or the Premises, or in soil or groundwater on or under the Property, or if same has migrated to adjacent property. Subtenant shall immediately notify Sublandlord of any inquiry, investigation or notice that Subtenant may receive from any third party regarding the actual or suspected presence of Hazardous Material on the Property or the Premises or regarding the actual or suspected presence of Hazardous Material on adjacent property which has allegedly migrated from the Property.
Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material brought upon, kept or used in or about the Property or the Premises by Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, results in any unlawful release or discharge of Hazardous Material on the Property or the Premises or any other property, Subtenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole expense, as are necessary to properly remediate the Property, the Premises or other property in accordance with federal and state standards applicable to the release of any such Hazardous Material; provided that Sublandlords approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval may be withheld at Sublandlords sole discretion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Subtenants obligations under this Sublease to indemnify Sublandlord with respect to Hazardous Materials and to remediate Hazardous Materials are not applicable to Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Property or the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant harmless from any and all Claims incurred or suffered by Subtenant either during or after the Sublease Term and which relate to Hazardous Materials existing in, on, or under the Premises or Property as of the Commencement Date or which are brought upon, kept, or used in or about, or disposed of on the Premises or Property (or which migrate off the Property) by Sublandlord.
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.

Sublandlord shall neither do nor permit anything to be done which would constitute a default or breach under the Master Lease or which would cause the Master Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in the Master Landlord, and Sublandlord agrees to comply with all terms, conditions, and covenants of the Master Lease. Sublandlord represents and warrants that no consent to this Sublease is required from the Master Landlord.

20. Choice of Law and Forum. This Sublease shall be governed by and construed under laws of the State of Washington and the City of Seattle without regard to its choice of law rules.
