If Landlord directs Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges under this Lease to a “lockbox” or other depository whereby checks issued in payment of such items are initially cashed or deposited by a person or entity other than Landlord (albeit on Landlord’s authority) then, for any and all purposes under this Lease: (i) Landlord shall not be deemed to have accepted such payment until the date on which such funds are received by Landlord or the “lockbox” or other depository, (ii) Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted such payment if (and only if) Landlord shall not have refunded (or attempted to immediately refund) such payment to Tenant and (iii) Landlord shall not be bound by any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment and no such endorsement, statement or letter shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction.

Landlord shall have the right to offset against the Security Deposit any sums owing from Tenant to Landlord and not paid when due, any damages caused by Tenant’s default, the cost of curing any default by Tenant should Landlord elect to do so, and the cost of performing any repair, maintenance or cleanup that is the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease. Offset against the Security Deposit shall not be an exclusive remedy in any of the above cases but may be invoked by Landlord, at its option, in addition to any other remedy provided by law or this Lease for Tenant’s nonperformance. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant each time an offset is claimed against the Security Deposit, and unless the Lease is terminated, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days after such notice deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the amount of the offset so that the total deposit amount, net of offset, shall remain constant throughout the Lease Term. Tenant’s failure to make such deposit after offset shall be a default under this Lease.

6.3. No Overloading. Any equipment or power-driven machinery installed by Tenant as part of the Tenant Improvements Work is subject to Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld if Landlord determines that such equipment will overload the walls, ceilings, floors or electrical circuits of the Premises or Building or shall generate any excessive noise. Any equipment which is installed in the Premises after the Tenant Improvements Work is completed must be installed in accordance Paragraph 6.5 and Landlord may withhold its consent to the installation of such equipment if Landlord determines that such equipment will overload the walls, ceilings, floors or electrical circuits of the Premises or Building or shall generate any excessive noise.

7.1.4. Electrical service for lighting and operation of customary office equipment and other equipment allowed pursuant to this Lease.

Additionally, outside of Operating Expenses and notwithstanding the Base Year concept, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual cost of utilities in excess of the annual estimates set forth in Paragraphs 7.1.3, 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 above which Landlord and Tenant agree are reasonable estimates of the costs for consumption of such utilities as if the Premises were used solely for general office (“Excess Utility Costs”).

Interruption of services and utilities shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

8. Maintenance and Repairs.

8.1. Landlord’s Maintenance and Repairs.

8.1.1. Costs Not Passed Through. Landlord’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations which are paid by Landlord and not reimbursed by Tenant are set forth in this Paragraph 8.1.1. Landlord, at its own cost and expense, shall be responsible only for (i) roof replacement, (ii) repair and replacement of the foundation and Level 1 floorslab of the Building and (iii) repair and replacement of the structural elements of the Building. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of defect or need for repairs required per the terms of this Lease, following the receipt of which Landlord shall promptly repair same or cure such defect. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs, replacement or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible hereunder shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect, except to the extent Landlord’s failure to repair or cure the relevant item results in a default by Landlord under Paragraph 17 of this Lease.

8.1.2. Costs Passed Through. Landlord is responsible for performing maintenance, repairs and replacements of (i) the exterior paved areas and curbs of the Outside Area (which includes the Additional Parking Areas) and the Property (the “Building Outside Area”), (ii) all landscaping of the Building Outside Area, (iii) athletic fields and facilities in the Outside Area, (iv) the exterior walls of the Building (including painting), gutters, downspouts and roof repairs, (v) sprinkler systems and main sewage line(s), (vi) monument, pylon and directional signs within the Outside Area, and (vii) any other maintenance, repair or replacement items normally associated with the foregoing.

In no event shall Landlord be required to repair or replace any interior windows within the Premises, any interior doors located within the Premises or any office entries. The foregoing costs and expenses of such repair, replacement, maintenance and other such items shall be included as part of Operating Expenses and Tenant shall be responsible for paying its Proportionate Share thereof. The amount of Tenant’s rental obligation set forth in Paragraph 1.12 does not include increases in the cost of such items above such costs allocable to the Base Year and Landlord’s performance of repair, replacement, maintenance and other items, is not a condition to payment of such rental obligations.

 

11


8.1.3. Tenant’s Right to Repair. If Landlord’s failure to promptly repair as required under this Paragraph 8.1 following receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice as required above results in an emergency situation which threatens property damage or injury to persons, Tenant shall have the right, following telephonic notice to Landlord (which telephonic notice shall be followed by additional notice from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 24.7 as soon as reasonably practicable), to effect such repairs or other cure as is necessary (and only to the extent necessary) to cure the emergency condition; Landlord shall pay the out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant to effect such cure of the emergency condition within twenty (20) days following receipt by Landlord of an invoice therefor together with evidence in reasonable detail of the out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant to complete such repairs or other cure. If Tenant elects to make such repairs or other cure, Tenant shall fully complete such repairs or other cure in full compliance with all Applicable Laws and Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease for Landlord’s nonperformance of such repairs or other cure.

8.2. Tenant Maintenance and Repairs. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall keep all parts of the Premises (except for those for which Landlord is expressly responsible hereunder) neatly maintained and in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear resulting from the Permitted Use, casualty and condemnation excepted, and promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements (except for replacements by Landlord per Paragraphs 8.1 and 8.1.2) to the Premises. Tenant shall replace all broken interior glass in the Premises with glass of the same quality. Tenant shall maintain all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment installed within the Premises by Tenant (including, without limitation all heating and air conditioning systems, if any, and the air handler which shall be installed as part of the Tenant Improvements Work) per manufacturer’s guidelines, including entering into and maintaining a maintenance contract providing for not less than quarterly inspections with a service company approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

8.3. Security. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant is responsible for securing the Premises and that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any police personnel or other security services or systems for any portion of the Premises, Building, Outside Area, Property and/or Park. To the extent that Landlord, at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, elects to provide any security services or systems for any portion of the Building and/or Outside Area, the costs thereof shall be included as part of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall have the right to install an independent access control system to the Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

8.4. Access to Premises; Interference. Provided that Landlord gives Tenant reasonable notice (but in no event less than twenty-four (24) hours), Landlord shall have access to the Premises at times throughout the Term to perform repairs and maintenance required under this Lease and to perform any other alterations or improvements which Landlord deems necessary in its reasonable discretion (“Landlord’s Future Work”). Landlord and Tenant agree to communicate and reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to the performance of Landlord’s Future Work such that Landlord is able to perform Landlord’s Future Work economically and efficiently without unreasonable disruption to Tenant’s continuing operations in the Premises. However, Tenant understands that Landlord may be performing Landlord’s Future Work during business hours and that Landlord’s Future Work must be performed in and around the exterior of the Premises and in the Premises. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease and provided that Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with access to the Premises, Landlord and Landlord’s contractors, agents and employees shall have all access and other rights reasonably required in order to perform and complete Landlord’s Future Work and such performance and completion of Landlord’s Future Work shall in no way constitute constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises nor shall Tenant be entitled to abatement or reduction of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges payable by Tenant under the Lease as a result thereof.

 

9. Taxes, Assessments and Operating Expenses.

9.1. Payments. If Operating Expenses or Taxes for any Fiscal Year following the Base Year exceed the Operating Expenses or Taxes (as may be applicable) paid or incurred during the Base Year, Tenant shall pay a monthly sum as Additional Rent representing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such increase in Operating Expenses and/or Taxes. Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be prorated with respect to years in which this Lease is in effect for less than an entire Fiscal Year. Commencing January 1 of the first Fiscal Year following the Base Year and for each year thereafter, Landlord shall estimate in good faith the amount by which Operating Expenses or Taxes are anticipated to increase for that Fiscal Year over the respective Base Year amounts. Landlord shall compute Tenant’s proportionate share of such estimated increases and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated increases in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes as Additional Rent on the first day of each month thereafter during the Lease Term. After the conclusion of each Fiscal Year following the Base Year, Landlord shall compute the actual increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited against payments of Additional Rent to be made by Tenant under this Lease, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a refund for a decrease in Operating Expenses or Taxes below the relevant Base Year amount. Landlord’s records of expenses for Taxes and Operating Expenses may be inspected by Tenant, or its agent, not more than one (1) time per annum at reasonable times upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord provided, however, that Tenant shall not retain any third party auditor on a contingency fee basis to perform any such audit or inspection. Landlord shall be required to make such records available for inspection for a period of no more than two (2) years after the expiration of the calendar year to which they relate. In the event the average occupancy level of the Building for the Base Year or any Fiscal Year is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the ABA, then the Operating Expenses and Taxes allocable to the Premises for such year shall be proportionately adjusted by Landlord to reflect those costs which would have occurred had the ABA been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during such year.

 

12


9.2. Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes and Tenant’s proportionate share of Operating Expenses shall be as set forth in Paragraph 1.14. If in Landlord’s reasonable judgment either of these methods of allocation results in an inappropriate allocation to Tenant, Landlord shall select some other reasonable method of determining Tenant’s proportionate share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s proportionate share of Controllable Expenses (as defined below) shall not increase on an annual basis by more than four percent (4%) compounded annually and calculated on a cumulative basis (the “Expense Cap”). Any Controllable Expenses that cannot be passed through to Tenant as Operating Expenses in a given calendar due to the Expense Cap may be carried forward by Landlord to, and charged as Operating Expenses in any subsequent calendar year in which the increase in Controllable Expenses is less than the applicable Expense Cap. As used herein, “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all expenses for which Tenant is obligated to pay its proportionate share as provided in Paragraph 9.1 other than Taxes, insurance costs, common utilities and snow removal, which shall be excluded from Controllable Expenses and for which Tenant shall pay its proportionate share without regard to the Expense Cap set forth herein.

9.3. Taxes Charged. As used herein, “Taxes” means all taxes, assessments and/or governmental charges of any kind and nature assessed against the Premises, the Building or the Property during the Lease Term and shall include all general real property taxes, all general and special assessments payable in installments, and any rent tax, tax on Landlord’s interest under this Lease, or any tax in lieu of the foregoing, whether or not any such tax is now in effect. Landlord shall have the right to employ a tax consulting firm to attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the Building and grounds within the applicable taxing jurisdiction, and Tenant agrees to pay its proportionate share (calculated in the same manner as Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes) of the cost of such consultant. Tenant shall not, however, be obligated to pay any tax based upon Landlord’s net income. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises. If any such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and (i) Landlord pays the same or (ii) the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal property and fixtures and Landlord pays the increased taxes, then, within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of a copy of the applicable tax bill with Landlord’s written request for payment thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such taxes as part of Tenant’s payment of Taxes.

9.4. Operating Expenses. “Operating Expenses” charged to Tenant hereunder shall mean all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with owning, operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing the Premises, Building, Outside Area, and all other portions of the Property including, without limitation, the cost of all utilities or services not paid directly by Tenant, property insurance, liability insurance, property management fee, maintenance, repair and replacement of landscaping, parking areas, and any other common facilities, and performing Landlord’s obligations under Paragraph 8.1.2. Operating Expenses shall include without limitation, the following: (i) reserves for roof repair, exterior painting and other appropriate reserves; (ii) the cost, including interest at ten percent (10%) per annum, amortized over its useful life, of any capital improvement made to any portion of the Property by Landlord after the date of this Lease which is required under any Applicable Laws that were not applicable to the relevant portion of the Property at the time the relevant portion of the Property was constructed; (iii) the cost, including interest at ten percent (10%) per annum, amortized over its useful life, of installation of any device or other equipment which improves the operating efficiency of any system within the Property and thereby reduces Operating Expenses; (iv) maintenance, repair and replacement items which have a reasonable life expectancy in excess of five (5) years and which, if charged to Operating Expenses in one (1) year, would unreasonably distort total Operating Expenses for that year and therefore the cost thereof is being spread over the reasonable life expectancy of the work performed; (v) salaries and benefits for Building property manager(s), engineer(s) and maintenance staff only to the extent directly working on the Building (or an actual allocation if engaged in the repair, maintenance or management of Landlord’s other properties in the Park or elsewhere), and (vi) all expenses allocated to the Property pursuant to the CC&Rs. Operating Expenses shall not include roof replacement, correction of the Building foundation, Level 1 floorslab, property management fee exceeding one percent (1%) of Rent, the costs for Landlord to change, reconfigure or rearrange the Outside Area, brokerage commissions, construction and design costs to accommodate other tenants and/or correction of deficiencies in structural elements of the Building, expenses related to the sale of the Building, expenses relating to violations of laws, regulations, statutes or ordinances, or Building defects.

In addition, Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors and invitees shall have the non-exclusive right to use up to eighty-eight (88) parking spaces in the Outside Area (which includes the Additional Parking Areas) shown on the attached Exhibit C and Tenant agrees to comply with and enforce against its agents, employees, contractors and employees parking regulations promulgated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 24.13 below, including a parking permit program. Tenant’s parking shall not be reserved and shall be limited to vehicles no larger than standard size automobiles, or standard size pickups or sport utility vehicles. Under no circumstances shall overnight parking be allowed, nor shall trucks, trailers or other large vehicles serving the Premises (i) be used for any purpose other than for the loading and unloading of goods and materials or (ii) be permitted to block streets and/or ingress and egress to and from the Park. Temporary parking of large delivery vehicles in the Outside Area may be permitted only with Landlord’s prior written consent. Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not in driveways, loading areas or other locations not specifically designated for parking. Handicapped spaces shall only be used by those legally permitted to use them. Per Paragraph 1.6 of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to grant parking rights (exclusive and otherwise) within the relevant portions of the Outside Area to occupants of the Park.

10.2. Loading Dock and Service Access Areas.

In the event any action is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant shall resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any injury, loss or damage caused by third parties, or by any condition of the Premises, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, or Landlord’s default under this Lease which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

11.2. Landlord’s Indemnification. Except to the extent waived by Paragraph 12.3, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant from any claim, loss or liability caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or Landlord’s default under this Lease which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. In the event any action is brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, Landlord shall resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to Tenant upon Tenant’s demand.

11.3. Survival. The obligations under this Paragraph 11 shall survive termination of this Lease.

11.4. No Limitations. The indemnification obligations contained in this Paragraph 11 shall not be limited by any worker’s compensation, benefit or disability laws, and each indemnifying party hereby waives any immunity that said party may have under the Washington Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51 RCW, and similar worker’s compensation, benefit or disability laws. LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE BY THEIR EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE THAT EACH INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION OF THIS LEASE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE RELATING TO WORKER’S COMPENSATION BENEFITS AND LAWS) WAS SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED TO BY LANDLORD AND TENANT.

 

12. Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation.

12.1. Landlord. Landlord shall keep the Premises insured against fire and other risks covered by a “Causes of Loss - Special Form” property insurance policy (including, without limitation earthquake, earth movement and flood) and against such other property losses as Landlord may deem reasonable and as may be customary in comparable buildings in the Vancouver, Washington metropolitan area.

12.2. Tenant. Tenant shall keep all of Tenant’s property on the Premises insured against fire and other risks covered by a “Causes of Loss - Special Form” property insurance policy in an amount equal to the replacement cost of such property, the proceeds of which shall, so long as this Lease is in effect, be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured. Tenant shall also carry commercial general liability insurance written on an occurrence basis with policy limits of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) each occurrence, which initial amount shall be subject to periodic increase based upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of Landlord’s professional insurance advisers and other relevant factors. In addition, if Tenant’s use of the Premises includes any activity or matter that would be excluded from coverage under a commercial general liability policy, Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require. Such commercial general liability insurance shall be (i) provided by an insurer or insurers who are approved to issue insurance policies in the state in which the Premises is located and have an A.M. Best financial strength rating of A- or better and financial size category of VII or larger, and (ii) shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to Landlord on or prior to the Commencement Date and annually thereafter stating that the coverage shall not be cancelled or materially altered without thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on such policy together with, upon written request from Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee and Landlord’s managing agent.

 

14


12.3. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby releases the other, and the other’s partners, officers, directors, members, agents and employees, from any and all liability and responsibility to the releasing party and to anyone claiming by or through it or under it, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for all claims, or demands whatsoever which arise out of damage or destruction of property occasioned by perils which can be insured by a “Causes of Loss - Special Form” and/or “special coverage” insurance form, including endorsements extending coverage to the perils of earthquake, earth movement and flood. Landlord and Tenant grant this release on behalf of themselves and their respective insurance companies and each represents and warrants to the other that it is authorized by its respective insurance company to grant the waiver of subrogation contained in this Paragraph 12.3. This release and waiver shall be binding upon the parties whether or not insurance coverage is in force at the time of the loss or destruction of property referred to in this Paragraph 12.3.

 

13. Property Damage.

13.1. Notice; Total Destruction. Tenant shall immediately give written notice to Landlord if the Premises or the Building are damaged or destroyed. If the Premises or the Building should be totally destroyed or so damaged by an insured peril in an amount exceeding thirty percent (30%) of the full construction replacement cost of the Building or Premises, respectively (as used herein, the “Landlord Damage Threshold”), Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage by notice of termination in writing to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such date, in which event all unaccrued rights and obligations of the parties under this Lease shall cease and terminate except to the extent such obligations specifically survive termination of this Lease. If the Premises should be totally destroyed or so damaged by an insured peril in an amount exceeding thirty percent (30%) of the full construction replacement cost of the Premises (as used herein, the “Tenant Damage Threshold”), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage by notice of termination in writing to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such date, in which event all unaccrued rights and obligations of the parties under this Lease shall cease and terminate except to the extent such obligations specifically survive termination of this Lease.

13.2. Partial Destruction. If the Building or the Premises should be damaged by an insured peril which does not meet either the Landlord Damage Threshold or the Tenant Damage Threshold, or if damage or destruction meeting the Landlord Damage Threshold and/or the Tenant Damage Threshold occurs but neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall not terminate and Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially its previous condition, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, alterations, additions and other improvements required to be covered by Tenant’s insurance pursuant to Paragraph 12.1. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or part during the period commencing upon the date of the occurrence of such damage and ending upon substantial completion of Landlord’s required repairs or rebuilding, Base Rent shall be reduced during such period to the extent the Premises are not reasonably usable by Tenant for the Permitted Use.

13.3. Damage Near End of Lease Term. If the damage to the Premises or Building occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term in an amount exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the full construction replacement cost of the Building or Premises, respectively, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage, in which event all unaccrued rights and obligations of the parties under this Lease shall cease and terminate except to the extent such obligations specifically survive termination of this Lease.

13.4. Repair of Damage. All repairs made by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 13 shall be accomplished as soon as is reasonably possible, subject to force majeure as described in Paragraph 24.1. Landlord’s good faith estimate of the cost of repairs of any damage, or of the replacement cost of the Premises or the Building, shall be conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant. The repair and restoration of the Premises shall be made pursuant to plans and specifications developed by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion and judgment, and such plans and specifications shall exclude all equipment, fixtures, improvements and alterations installed by Tenant. All insurance proceeds for repairs shall be payable solely to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no interest therein. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Landlord to expend monies in excess of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord. Landlord shall be responsible for the insurance deductible, unless the loss is caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, officers or representatives, in which case, and notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 12.3, Tenant shall be responsible for the amount of the deductible.

13.5. Other Damage. If the Premises or the Building is substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever which is not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 13, this Lease shall terminate as of the date the destruction occurred; provided, however, that if the damage does not meet the Landlord Damage Threshold, Landlord may elect (but will not be required) to rebuild the Premises at Landlord’s own expense, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after the casualty.

 

14. Condemnation.

14.1. Partial Taking. If a portion of the Premises is condemned and Paragraph 14.2 does not apply, this Lease shall continue on the following terms:

14.1.1. Landlord shall be entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord as a result of the condemnation.

14.1.2. Landlord shall proceed as soon as reasonably possible to make such repairs and alterations to the Premises as are necessary to restore the remaining Premises to a condition as comparable as reasonably practicable to that existing at the time of condemnation. Landlord need not incur expenses for restoration in excess of the amount of condemnation proceeds received by Landlord after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

 

15


14.1.3. Rent shall be abated during the period of restoration to the extent the Premises are not reasonably usable by Tenant for the use permitted by Paragraph 6.1, and rent shall be reduced for the remainder of the Lease Term in an amount equal to the reduction in rental value of the Premises caused by the taking.

14.2. Total Taking. If a condemning authority takes the entire Premises or a portion sufficient to render the remainder unsuitable for Tenant’s use, then either party may elect to terminate this Lease effective on the date that title passes to the condemning authority. Landlord shall be entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord as a result of such condemnation. Tenant may make separate claim to the condemning authority with respect to its leasehold interest.

 

15. Assignment, Subletting and Other Transfers.

15.1. General. Except as specifically set forth in Paragraph 15.3, neither the Lease nor any part of the Premises may be assigned, mortgaged, subleased or otherwise transferred, nor may a right of use of any portion of the Premises be conferred on any person or entity by any other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to effectuating any such assignment, sublease or other transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the name and address of the proposed transferee, and deliver to Landlord with such notice a true and complete copy of the proposed assignment agreement, sublease or other occupancy agreement, current financial statements of such proposed transferee, a statement of the use of the Premises by such proposed transferee and such other information or documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Landlord to determine the qualifications of the proposed transferee together with a request that Landlord consent thereto (“Tenant’s Notice”). Without limiting Landlord’s ability to deny or condition consent for any other reason, it shall not be considered unreasonable if Landlord’s consent to a proposed sublease, assignment or other transfer is denied based on the following: (i) the business of the proposed transferee (A) is not compatible with the nature and character of the Building or the businesses in the Building and/or (B) will conflict with any exclusive uses or use restrictions that Landlord has granted to other occupants of the Building, (ii) financial strength of the proposed transferee is sufficient to pay the obligations under the Lease in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, (iii) the proposed transferee will excessively overpark the Building and/or the Park with automobiles or trucks (excessively overpark shall mean that the proposed transferee’s parking will violate local parking restrictions or will interfere with other tenants occupying the Building or the Park), (iv) the proposed transferee cannot demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction the management skills or experience necessary, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, to be successful in the Premises, (v) the proposed transferee has a record of environmental contamination or their anticipated use of the Premises involves the generation, storage, use, sale, treatment, release or disposal of any Hazardous Substances, or (vi) the proposed form of sublease, assignment or other occupancy agreement is unacceptable (unacceptable form of sublease, assignment or other occupancy agreement shall mean that the content and format of the form are not consistent with the terms of this Lease or the CC&R’s or are not consistent with the terms and requirements of Landlord’s loan documents for the Building). Any attempted assignment, subletting, transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Paragraph 15.1 shall be void.

15.2. No Release; Excess Rent. No assignment, subletting or other transfer, whether consented to by Landlord or not, or permitted hereunder, shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease. If an event of default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are assigned, sublet or otherwise transferred, then Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may collect directly from such assignee, sublessee or transferee all rents payable to Tenant and apply such rent against any sums due Landlord hereunder. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant assigns or otherwise transfers this Lease or sublets the Premises for an amount in excess of the rent called for by this Lease, one-half of all Excess Consideration (as defined below) shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days following receipt by Tenant. As used herein, “Excess Consideration” means all rents or other sums received by Tenant under any such assignment, subletting or other transfer which are in excess of the rents and other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease after deduction therefrom for reasonable costs actually paid by Tenant for additional improvements installed in the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for the specific assignee, sublessee or other transfer in question and reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment, subletting or other transfer, without deduction for carrying costs due to vacancy or otherwise.

15.3. Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Paragraph 1.10 of this Lease regarding the use of the Premises and Paragraph 6.6, Tenant shall have the absolute right to assign this Lease, sublet all or any part of the Premises or otherwise transfer Tenant’s interest in and to this Lease to (i) any other entity which is an Affiliate (as defined below) of Tenant or (ii) any entity which merges or consolidates with, or acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant (as used herein, a “Permitted Transfer”), without the consent of Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any Permitted Transfer within twenty (20) days following the effective date thereof. No Permitted Transfer shall be deemed to constitute a release of Tenant from its obligations under this Lease. As used herein, “Affiliate” shall mean (A) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant, (B) the parent entity of Tenant (the “Parent Entity”), or (C) an entity who has the same Parent Entity as Tenant.

 

16. Tenant Default.

16.1. Default. Any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease:

 

16


16.1.1. Tenant’s failure to (i) pay rent or any other charge under this Lease within five (5) days after it is due, provided that the first time (and only the first time) in any twelve (12) consecutive month period during the Lease Term that Tenant fails to pay rent or any other charge due hereunder (the “First Time Failure”) shall not constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease unless such First Time Failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after receipt by Tenant of notice from Landlord that such amount is due and payable or (ii) immediately cure or remove any lien pursuant to Paragraph 20 or (iii) except as provided in Paragraphs 16.1.2 through 16.1.4, comply with any other term or condition within thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord specifying the noncompliance. If any failure described in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence cannot be cured within the thirty (30)-day period, this provision shall be deemed complied with so long as Tenant commences correction within such period and thereafter proceeds in good faith and with reasonable diligence to effect the remedy as soon as practicable.

16.1.2. Tenant’s insolvency; assignment for the benefit of its creditors; Tenant’s voluntary petition in bankruptcy or adjudication as bankrupt; attachment of or the levying of execution on the leasehold interest and failure of Tenant to secure discharge of the attachment or release of the levy of execution within ten (10) days; or the appointment of a receiver for Tenant’s properties.

16.1.3. Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. For purposes of this Paragraph 16, vacation of all or part of the Premises shall not be interpreted as abandonment of the Premises provided Tenant gives advanced written notice to Landlord and in all other respects complies with this Lease.

16.1.4. Failure of Tenant to deliver the documents or agreements required under Paragraphs 19.1 and/or 19.3 within the relevant time period(s) specified therein.

16.2. Remedies for Default. For any default as described in Paragraph 16.1, Landlord shall have the right to the following remedies which are intended to be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided under applicable law:

16.2.1. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice to Tenant without relieving Tenant from its obligation to pay damages.

16.2.2. Re-enter and take possession of the Premises and remove any persons or property by legal action or by self-help with the use of reasonable force and without liability for damages and without having accepted a surrender. Tenant’s liability to Landlord for damages shall survive the tenancy. Landlord may, after such retaking of possession, relet the Premises upon any reasonable terms. No such reletting shall be construed as an acceptance of a surrender of Tenant’s leasehold interest.

16.2.3. Except to the extent otherwise provided by applicable law, in the event of termination or retaking of possession following default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover immediately, without waiting until the due date of any future rent or until the date fixed for expiration of the Lease Term, the following amounts as damages:

(i) The loss of rental from the date of default until a new tenant is secured and paying rent.

(ii) The reasonable costs of reentry and reletting including without limitation the cost of any cleanup, refurbishing, removal and disposal of Tenant’s property and fixtures, or any other reasonable expense occasioned by Tenant’s default including but not limited to restoration or repair costs, attorney fees, court costs, broker commissions, and marketing costs. Initialed DM and AG

(iii) Any excess of the value of the rent and all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease over the reasonable expected return from the Premises for the period commencing on the earlier of the date of trial or the date the Premises are relet, and continuing through the end of the Lease Term. The present value of future amounts shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the prime loan rate in effect on the date of trial of major national banks who are members of the Federal Reserve System, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are located in the state in which the Premises is located.

16.3. No Bar of Action(s). Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages during the period corresponding to the remainder of the Lease Term, and no action for damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing.

16.4. Landlord Cure. If Tenant fails to perform any obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall have the option to do so after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant if Tenant has not performed such obligation, unless the Landlord has agreed in writing to a longer period to cure such failure. All of Landlord’s expenditures to correct the default shall be reimbursed by Tenant on demand together with interest at the rate specified in Paragraph 24.2 from the date of expenditure until repaid. Such action by Landlord shall not waive any other remedies available to Landlord because of the default.

16.5. No Exclusion. The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to and shall not exclude any other remedy available to Landlord at law or in equity.

 

17


17. Landlord Default.

Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if it shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Landlord unless such cure cannot reasonably be accomplished within such thirty (30)-day period. Landlord shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to accomplish such cure provided Landlord promptly commences and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

 

18. Surrender at Expiration or Termination.

18.1. Surrender. On expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver all keys to Landlord, have final utility readings made and pay all utility accounts current on the date of move out, and surrender the Premises clean and free of debris inside and out, with all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in good operating condition standard wear and tear excepted, all signing removed and defacement corrected, and all repairs called for under this Lease completed. The Premises shall be delivered in the same condition as at the Commencement Date, subject only to damage by casualty, the provisions of Paragraphs 6.5 and 18.2 and depreciation and wear from ordinary use. Tenant shall remove all of its furnishings and trade fixtures that remain its property and restore all damage resulting from such removal. Failure to remove said property shall be an abandonment of same, and Landlord may remove and/or dispose of it in any manner permitted under law without liability, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any costs of removal, restoration, transportation to storage, storage and/or disposal, with interest on all such expenses as provided in Paragraph 24.2. The provisions of this Paragraph 18.1 (including, without limitation, all provisions referenced herein) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for restoring the concrete floor slab of the Premises to a smooth, uniformly level condition. Such restoration shall include, without limitation, (A) the filling of any pits or trenches in the concrete floor slab with properly compacted fill material and concrete; (B) removal and repair of curbs or raised areas in the floor slab; and (C) proper below-slab capping off or removal of utility stubs and pour back of the concrete floor slab in such areas.

18.2. Removal of Hazardous Substances. Upon expiration of this Lease or sooner termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant shall remove all Hazardous Substances and facilities used for the storage or handling of Hazardous Substances from the Premises and restore the affected areas by repairing any damage caused by the installation or removal of the facilities. Following such removal, Tenant shall certify in writing to Landlord that all such removal is complete. Until such time as Tenant has fulfilled all the requirements of this Paragraph 18.2 (in addition to any other requirements), Landlord may treat Tenant as a holdover Tenant as provided below; provided, however, that any such continuation of this Lease shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Paragraph 18.2.

18.3. Failure to Vacate. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises when required and holds over without Landlord’s prior written consent, Landlord may elect either (i) to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to all provisions of this Lease except the provision for Lease Term and at a rental rate equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately preceding the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term plus Additional Rent, or (ii) to treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance, eject Tenant from the Premises and recover damages caused by wrongful holdover including, without limitation, as set forth in Paragraph 18.4. Failure of Tenant to remove furniture, furnishings, cabling or other telecommunications equipment, or trade fixtures which Tenant is required to remove under this Lease shall constitute a failure to vacate to which this Paragraph 18.3 shall apply if such property not removed substantially interferes with occupancy of the Premises by another tenant or with occupancy by Landlord for any purpose including preparation for a new tenant. If a month-to-month tenancy results from a holdover by Tenant under this Paragraph 18.3, the tenancy shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days written notice from Landlord. Tenant waives any notice that would otherwise be provided by law with respect to a month-to-month tenancy.

18.4. Indemnification. Tenant acknowledges that, if Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent as provided above, such holding over may compromise or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to enter into new leases with prospective tenants regarding the Premises and/or the Building. Therefore, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, then, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all obligations, losses, claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, penalties, damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be liable for indirect or consequential damages suffered by Landlord on account of Tenant’s holding over in the Premises during the first thirty (30) day period immediately following the expiration of the Lease Term (it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall be liable for any indirect or consequential damages and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys and consultants fees and expense) suffered by Landlord on account of any holding over by Tenant from and after the thirty-first (31st) day immediately following the expiration of the Lease Term), including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. The provisions of this Paragraph 18.4 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord’s right to re-entry or other rights hereunder or provided by law. Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 18.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

18


19. Mortgage or Sale by Landlord; Estoppel Certificates.

19.1. Priority. This Lease is and shall be prior to any mortgage or deed of trust (“Encumbrance”) recorded after the date of this Lease and affecting the Building and the land upon which the Building is located. However, if any lender holding an Encumbrance secured by the Building and the land underlying the Building requires that this Lease be subordinate to the Encumbrance, then Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to the Encumbrance if the holder thereof agrees in writing with Tenant that no foreclosure, deed given in lieu of the foreclosure, or sale pursuant to the terms of the Encumbrance, or other steps or procedures taken under the Encumbrance shall affect Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises so long as Tenant pays rent and timely observes and performs all of the provisions of this Lease. If the foregoing condition is met, Tenant shall execute the written agreement and any other documents required by the holder of the Encumbrance to accomplish the purposes of this Paragraph 19.1 within twenty (20) days following receipt thereof. Upon Tenant’s request, one (1) time during the Lease Term and thereafter one (1) time again for each new mortgage holder, Landlord shall obtain from the current mortgage holder with respect to the Premises, a written non-disturbance agreement in Landlord’s lender’s standard form (“Nondisturbance Agreement”) which provides that in the event that Landlord’s lender succeeds to Landlord’s interest under this Lease, Landlord’s lender will not disturb Tenant’s rights hereunder so long as there exists no Tenant default. Landlord shall pay the costs associated with a request for a Nondisturbance Agreement from Landlord’s current lender and any future mortgage holders.

19.2. Attornment. If the Building is sold as a result of foreclosure of any Encumbrance thereon or otherwise transferred by Landlord or any successor, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser or transferee, and the transferor shall have no further liability hereunder except with respect to the Security Deposit unless the transferor transfers and assigns the same to the purchaser or transferee.

19.3. Estoppel Certificate. Either party shall within twenty (20) days after notice from the other execute and deliver to the other party a certificate stating whether or not this Lease has been modified and is in full force and effect and specifying any modifications or alleged breaches by the other party. The certificate shall also state the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent, the amount of the Security Deposit (if any), the amount of any prepaid Base Rent and Additional Rent and any other factual information reasonably requested by the other party. Failure to deliver the certificate within the specified time shall be conclusive upon the party of whom the certificate was requested that the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate, provided the party requesting the certificate has proof of receipt by the party of whom the certificate was requested.

 

20. Liens.

Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys fees and costs, in connection with or arising out of any such lien or claim of lien.

 

21. Attorneys Fees; Waiver of Jury Trial.

In the event that any party shall bring an action to enforce its rights under this Lease, the prevailing party in any such proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys, witness and expert fees and costs of the proceeding, including any appeal thereof and in any proceedings in bankruptcy. For purposes hereof, the reasonable fees of Landlord’s in-house attorneys or Tenant’s in-house attorneys, as the case may be, who perform services in connection with any such enforcement action are recoverable, and shall be based on the fees regularly charged by private attorneys with the equivalent number of years of experience in the relevant subject matter area of the law, in law firms in the City of Portland, Oregon with approximately the same number of attorneys as are employed by Landlord’s law department or Tenant’s law department, as the case may be. The provisions of this Paragraph 21 are separate and severable and shall survive a judgment on this Lease. Disputes between the parties which are to be litigated shall be tried before a judge without a jury.

 

22. Limitation on Liability; Transfer by Landlord.

22.1. Property and Assets. All persons dealing with Landlord must look solely to the property and assets of Landlord for the payment of any claim against Landlord or for the performance of any obligation of Landlord as neither the joint venturers, general partners, limited partners, members, employees, nor agents (as the case may be) of Landlord assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of Landlord (or its predecessors in interest) and their respective properties shall not be subject to the claims of any person in respect of any such liability or obligation. As used herein, the words “property and assets of Landlord” exclude any rights of Landlord for the payment of capital contributions or other obligations to it by any joint venturer, general partner, limited partner or member (as the case may be) in such capacity.

22.2. Transfer by Landlord. All obligations of Landlord hereunder will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its possession of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” shall mean only the owner of the Premises for the time being, and if such owner transfers its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Landlord thereafter accruing, but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of each owner’s ownership.

 

19


22.3. Other Occupants. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for loss or damages arising out of the acts or inaction of other tenants or occupants.

 

23. Real Estate Brokers; Finders.

The parties acknowledge that Paul Carlson of Cushman & Wakefield has represented Landlord and Mike Wells of CresaPartners has represented Tenant in the negotiation of this Lease and agree that a real estate commission shall be paid to Cushman & Wakefield and CresaPartners pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against all claims, costs, demands, actions, liabilities, losses and expenses (including the reasonable attorneys fees of counsel chosen by the other party) arising out of or resulting from any claims that may be asserted against such other party by any broker, finder or other person with whom the party bearing the indemnity obligation has, or purportedly has, dealt.

 

24. Other.

24.1. Force Majeure. The occurrence of any of the following events shall excuse the performance of such obligations of Landlord or Tenant to the extent thereby rendered impossible or not reasonably practicable for so long as such event continues so long as the party under this Lease required to perform gives prompt notice of such delay to the other party: strikes; lockouts; labor disputes; acts of God; inability to obtain labor, materials or reasonable substitutes therefore; governmental restrictions, regulations, or controls; judicial orders; enemy or hostile government action; terrorism; civil commotion; fire or other casualty; condemnation and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform; provided, however, that except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease in no event will the occurrence of any of said events or causes excuse the failure to pay rent or any other payment to be made by Tenant hereunder strictly as and when required under this Lease.

24.2. Interest; Late Charges. Rent not paid within ten (10) days of when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. In the event Tenant has failed to timely pay rent under this Lease at least two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period, Landlord may thereafter at its option impose a late charge of $.05 for each $1.00 of rent for rent payments made more than ten (10) days late in addition to interest and other remedies available for default.

24.3. Captions; Paragraph Headings. The captions and headings used in this Lease are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not be construed to limit or extend the meaning of any part of this Lease. Reference to a “Paragraph” shall mean reference to either a specified numbered paragraph or subparagraph of this Lease.

24.4. Nonwaiver. Waiver by either party of strict performance of any provision of this Lease shall not be a waiver of or prejudice the party’s right to require strict performance of the same provision in the future or of any other provision.

24.5. Succession. Subject to the limitations on transfer of Tenant’s interest, this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective heirs, successors, and assigns.

24.6. Entry for Inspection. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Premises with reasonable notice (but in no event shall more than twenty-four (24) hours notice be required) to determine Tenant’s compliance with this Lease, to make necessary repairs to the Building or the Premises, or to show the Premises or the Building to any prospective tenant or purchasers. Landlord may place and maintain upon the Building and/or Premises notices for leasing or sale of the Building and/or the Premises. Landlord may enter upon the Premises without notice by any means necessary in the case of an emergency.
