ARTICLE 1. PREMISES
     Section 1.1 Premises Defined. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, those certain premises and improvements consisting of the floor area and the location described in the Lease Summary and designated on the plans attached hereto as Exhibit A (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”). The Premises are located in the building known as the U.S. Bank Centre (the “Building”) which is situated in the City of Seattle, County of King, State of Washington and located upon the real property described in Exhibit B (the “Property”).
     Section 1.2 Alterations. Tenant acknowledges that Exhibit A sets forth the floor plan for the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises is located and the location of the Premises therein. Landlord may in its sole discretion increase, decrease, or change the number, locations and dimensions of any hallways, lobby areas and other improvements shown on Exhibit A that are not within the Premises, provided the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, Landlord reserves the right from time to time (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, relocate and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to the Premises or to other parts of the Building which are above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas of the Building which are located within the Premises or located elsewhere in the Building; (b) to alter or expand the Building; and (c) to alter, relocate or substitute any of the Common Areas, as defined in Section 1.4 below.
     Section 1.3 Condition of Premises. The Premises are leased by Landlord and accepted by Tenant in an “as is” condition, subject to any improvements, alterations or modifications to be made pursuant to Article 7 below, and the requirement of Landlord to complete the improvements specified therein.
     Section 1.4 Common Areas. So long as Tenant occupies the Premises under the terms of this Lease, Tenant, its licensees, invitees, customers and employees shall have the non-exclusive right to use all entrances, lobbies, and other public areas of the Building (the “Common Areas”) in common with Landlord, other Building tenants, and their respective licensees, invitees, customers and employees. The use of the Common Areas shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 2. BUSINESS PURPOSE AND USE

-1-


 

Lease Summary, and under no other name without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
     Section 2.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, nor bring or keep anything therein, which will (a) in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any policy of fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering any part thereof or any of its contents; (b) obstruct or interfere in any way with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure or unreasonably annoy any of them; or (c) use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, unlawful or objectionable purposes. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises, nor shall Tenant commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the Premises.

Tenant shall not place any object or barrier within, or otherwise obstruct, any of the Common Areas.
     Section 2.3 Compliance With Laws.

ARTICLE 3. TERM
     Section 3.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date identified in Section 3.1(b) of the Lease Summary. From the Lease Commencement Date, the term of this Lease shall continue for the time period specified in the Lease Summary, the expiration of which shall be the Termination Date of this Lease, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The period between the Lease Commencement Date and the Termination Date shall be referred to as the “Lease Term” or “Term”. The Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that certain obligations under the provisions of this Lease may be binding upon them prior to the Lease Commencement Date, such as, but not limited to, the provisions of Exhibit C, and Landlord and Tenant shall be bound by such provisions prior to the Lease Commencement Date.
     Section 3.2 Lease Year. “Lease Year” shall mean that period of twelve (12) consecutive months which ends on December 31 of each year and which falls within the Term of this Lease; provided, however, the first Lease Year (which may be a partial Lease Year) shall mean that period from the Lease Commencement Date until the December 31 first occurring after the Lease Commencement Date and the last Lease Year (which may be a partial Lease Year) shall mean that period from the January 1st last occurring during the Term of this Lease until the Termination Date.
     Section 3.3 Possession by Tenant.

If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the

-2-


 

Premises to Tenant by the Lease Commencement Date, as specified in the Lease Summary, then this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 4. RENT
     Section 4.1 Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as minimum rental for the use and occupancy of the Premises the “Basic Rent” as specified in the Lease Summary. Basic Rent shall be payable in Monthly Rent Installments of the amount specified in the Lease Summary, on or before the first day of each month of the Lease Term beginning on the Lease Commencement Date. Basic Rent for any partial year shall be prorated based upon the actual number of months left in such partial year. The Monthly Rent Installment for any partial month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in that partial month.
     Section 4.2 Operating Expenses.
               4.2.1 This is a fully serviced, gross Lease. All Operating Expenses shall be included in the Basic Rent from the Lease Commencement Date through the Base Year (as defined in the Lease Summary). For each calendar year following the Base Year, Tenant shall pay, in monthly installments and as “Additional Rent”, an amount equal to the “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” (as hereinafter defined) of actual “Total Operating Expanses” (as hereinafter defined) minus Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Total Operating Expenses for the Base Year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall in no event pay less than the Basic Rent in any calendar year.
               4.2.2 “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be computed by dividing the Total Rentable Area of the Premises by the Total Rentable Area of the Building or Total Rentable Area of the Office Tower, as applicable with respect to any particular Operating Expense. Tenant’s Proportionate Share upon the Lease Commencement Date for the entire Premises is as specified in the Lease Summary.
               4.2.3 “Rentable Area of the Building,” “Rentable Area of the Office Tower” and “Rentable Area of the Premises” are defined as those areas obtained by measuring the Building, Office Tower and Premises using Landlord’s method of measurement, which method is based substantially on the method of measuring floor area in office buildings specified in the American National Standard Publication ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996 published by the Building Owners and Managers Association International (otherwise known as “BOMA Standard”). The Total Rentable Area of the Building, Total Rentable Area of the Office Tower and Total Rentable Area of the Premises, as of the Lease Commencement Date, are as specified in the Lease Summary. The Total Rentable Area of the Premises exceeds the usable area of the Premises to include a pro rata share of hallways, restrooms, and other common elements located on the floor on which the Premises are located. Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be calculated based upon the Total Rentable Area of the Building with respect to Operating Expenses the benefit of which are shared with Building retail and office tenants and based upon the Total Rentable Area of the Office Tower with respect to Operating Expenses the benefit of which are shared only with other Office Tower tenants.

               4.2.4 Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written estimate of Total Operating Expenses for the succeeding year at least thirty (30) days after the start of each Lease Year during the Lease Term, following the first Lease Year of the Lease Term. Tenant shall then pay to Landlord, monthly in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated Total Operating Expenses for the said Lease Year in excess of the product of the Expense Stop multiplied by the Rentable Area of the Premises. In the event any item of actual Operating Expenses, including without limitation those items identified in subparagraph (4.2.6) below, increases five percent (5%) or more in price or cost over any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall have the option to pass through to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in the actual Operating Expenses upon thirty (30) days’ written notice from Landlord to Tenant.
               4.2.5 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of every Lease Year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide the Tenant with a written statement of the actual Total Operating Expenses for that Lease Year. If the actual Total Operating Expenses should exceed the estimated amount with respect to such Lease Year, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the additional amount due to the Landlord within thirty (30) days and, if actual Total Operating Expenses should be less than the estimated Total Operating Expenses for that Lease Year, then Landlord shall credit, against future Additional Rent due under this Article, the amount of any overpayment by Tenant.
               4.2.6 “Operating Expenses” as used herein shall mean all costs, expenses and other charges incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, repair and maintenance of the Property and the Building as a first class mixed use retail/office building complex in the Central Business District of Seattle, Washington, including but not limited to:

                    4.2.6.4 The electrical costs incurred in the operation of the “chiller” for the Building, which shall be allocated pro rata among the Building tenants;
                    4.2.6.5 Cost of maintenance, depreciation and replacement of machinery, tools and equipment (if owned by Landlord) and for rental paid for such machinery, tools and equipment (if rented) used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Building;

                    4.2.6.7 Cost of janitorial services, repairs and general maintenance;
                    4.2.6.8 Any capital improvements made or installed (a) to be in compliance with any applicable government statutes, ordinances, regulations or other requirements, and (b) for purposes of saving labor or otherwise reducing applicable operating costs, amortized over the useful life of such improvements, as determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item;
                    4.2.6.9 Costs in connection with maintaining and operating any garage owned by the Landlord for use by tenants of the Building;
                    4.2.6.10 All taxes and assessments and governmental charges whether federal, state, county or municipal and any other taxes and assessments attributable to the Property and/or the Building or its operation, including without limitation real property taxes and assessments and any tax or other levy, however denominated, on or measured by the rental collected by the Landlord with respect to the Building, or on Landlord’s business of leasing the Building, but excluding federal and state taxes on income;
                    4.2.6.11 The cost of maintaining any public transit system, vanpool, or other public or semi-public transportation imposed upon Landlord’s ownership and operation of the Building;
                    4.2.6.12 Cost of all accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with the operation of the Property and/or the Building;

Landlord and Tenant shall each from time to time upon request of the other sign a written memorandum confirming the amount of the Additional Rent as adjusted from time to time hereunder.
               4.2.7 Tenant shall have the right, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth below, to conduct one (1) audit of the Landlord’s books and records covering the Operating Expenses for a particular calendar year to verify the accuracy of the Landlord’s determination of the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Operating Expenses. The conditions which must be met before Tenant shall have the right to audit the books and records of a particular calendar year are as follows:
                    4.2.7.1 Tenant must provide Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the Tenant’s election to audit (the “Tenant’s Notice of Audit”), together with the information concerning the auditor as outlined in subsection 4.2.7.4 below, which Tenant’s Notice of Audit and information must be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Landlord’s statement of actual Operating Expenses for a particular calendar year.
                    4.2.7.2 Tenant’s audit must be undertaken and completed by Tenant or its agents at reasonable times during Landlord’s normal business hours at the place where the Landlord’s records are kept.

ARTICLE 14. HOLDING OVER
     Section 14.1 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Lease Term.

Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of these means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide reasonable advance notice to Tenant before entering the Premises for any reason other than routine entries (for example, to replace light bulbs) or emergencies threatening injury to persons or damage to property.

               17.1.1 Vacation or abandonment of the Premises;
               17.1.2 Failure by Tenant to make any payment required as and when due, where that failure shall continue for a period of three (3) calendar days;
               17.1.3 Failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, other than making any payment when due, where that failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after Landlord gives written notice to Tenant of that failure; and
               17.1.4 Making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition in bankruptcy, including reorganization or arrangement, unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the petition is dismissed within thirty (30) calendar days; or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.
     Section 17.2 Remedies. In the event of any breach or default by Tenant under the terms or provisions of this Lease, Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies that it may have, shall have the immediate right of reentry. Should Landlord elect to reenter or take possession, of the Premises, it may either terminate this Lease, or from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account and in the name of the Tenant or otherwise, for any term or terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to complete construction of or make alterations and repairs to the Premises and/or improvements installed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in the event of reletting, as soon as ascertained, the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the reletting, completion of construction, or in making any alterations and repairs. Rentals received by Landlord from any reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder and to any other payments required to be made by the Tenant hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord as payment of future Rent or damages in the event of termination as the same may become due and payable hereunder; and the balance, if any, at the end of the Term of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant. Should rental received from time to time from the reletting during any month be a lesser Rental than herein agreed to by Tenant, the Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord. The Tenant shall pay the deficiency each month as the amount thereof is ascertained by the Landlord.

-18-


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall also have the right upon Tenant’s default to terminate this Lease, accelerate all Rental payments due under this Lease for the remaining Term hereof, or if Tenant has been granted an option to extend and that option has been exercised, for the remainder of the option term, and shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the total amount of unpaid Rent together with all past due Rent and any other payment due hereunder, less the amount which is established to be the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remaining Term, after taking into consideration normal duration of vacancy periods, tenant improvement costs and Landlord’s reasonably anticipated costs of reletting the Premises.
     Section 17.3 Reletting. No reletting of the Premises by Landlord permitted under Section 17.2 shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate is given to Tenant, or unless the termination of the Lease is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a previous breach, provided it has not been cured. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of that breach.
     Section 17.4 Default of Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant, or if such failure is not reasonably capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord has failed to commence the cure and diligently pursue the cure to completion.
     Section 17.5 Non-Waiver. Failure by Landlord to take action or declare a default as a result of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that term, covenant, or condition, or of any subsequent breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of that preceding breach at the time of acceptance of the Rent.
     Section 17.6 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any uncured default on the part of Landlord, which default would entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall not terminate this Lease unless Tenant has notified any mortgagee or beneficiary of deed of trust, whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, at least sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed effective date of the termination. During the sixty (60) day period the mortgagee or beneficiary shall be entitled to commence to cure the default. If the default is not capable of being cured with due diligence within the sixty (60) day period, the Lease shall not be terminated if the mortgagee or beneficial of a deed of trust shall have commenced to cure the default within the sixty (60) day period and shall pursue the cure with due diligence thereafter. If the default is one which is not capable of cure by the mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust within the sixty (60) day period because the mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust is not in possession of the Building or Property, the sixty (60) day period shall be extended to include the time needed to obtain possession of the Premises by the

-19-


 

mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust by power of sale, judicial foreclosure, or other legal action required to recover possession, provided that these avenues are pursued with due diligence.

SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT,
NOTICE AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the ______ day of ____________, 1990, by and between ______________________________ (“Tenant”), and ________________________ (the “Agent”), for itself and as agent of certain lenders (“Lenders”).
RECITALS:
A. Tenant entered into a certain lease (the “Lease”), dated the ______ day of _________19___, with BENTALL CITY CENTRE, L.L.C., a Washington limited liability company (“Landlord”), pertaining to certain improvements (the “Improvements”) constructed on land located in King County, Washington, described on Exhibit A (the land and the improvements are hereafter called “the Property”).
B. Lenders continue to provide financing (the “Loans”) which is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement from Landlord recorded in the records of King County, Washington, creating a valid first lien on the Property and a valid Deed of Trust (the Deed of Trust and all renewals, modifications, substitutions, extensions and replacements thereof, including increases in the indebtedness secured thereby, are hereafter collectively called the “Deed of Trust”).
C. Lenders have required that Tenant subordinate its interest in the Lease to the Deed of Trust and agree to attorn to Lenders as a condition precedent to the making of the Loans.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing facts and the mutual covenants set forth herein, Tenant and Agent hereby agree as follows, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary;
     1. Tenant agrees that the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder are and shall remain subordinate to the Deed of Trust and all renewals, extensions, and modifications thereof.
     2. Lenders agree that they will not disturb the possession of Tenant under the Lease upon any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, or upon acquiring title to the Property by deed in lieu of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default under the Lease or hereunder, and agree further that, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease or hereunder, Lenders thereafter will (a) accept the attornment of Tenant, (b) recognize all renewal rights set forth in the Lease, and (c) undertake and perform all obligations as Landlord under the Lease.

-1-


 

     3. In the event of the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, judicially or nonjudicially, or if title to the Property is conveyed by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant agrees to attorn to and accept the purchaser(s) at the foreclosure sale(s) conducted pursuant to the Deed of Trust or the grantee(s) in such deed(s) in lieu of foreclosure and his or its (or their) heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns as Landlord under the Lease for the balance then remaining of the term thereof, subject to all terms and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall any such purchaser (or grantee) of the Property or the holder of the Deed of Trust be; (i) liable for obligations or acts of Landlord occurring or arising prior to the date of such foreclosure or deed on lieu of foreclosure, (ii) liable for any rent paid in advance by Tenant for any period beyond the month in which Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower under the Lease, (iii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord, except for on-going non-monetary obligations of the Landlord under this Lease, (iv) bound by any previous amendment or modification of the Lease or any waiver or forbearance by Landlord unless the same was approved in writing by Lender.
     4. Tenant agrees that with respect to any written notice required to be given to Landlord under the Lease, a copy of such notice shall be delivered to Agent. Tenant also agrees to give Agent notice of each default of Landlord and any successor landlord under the Lease and thirty (30) days to cure such default prior to the exercise by Tenant of any right to terminate the Lease; provided that, if such default is of a nature that it is not capable of being cured within a 30-day period, Tenant shall not exercise any such right to terminate the Lease if Agent is diligently pursuing such cure. With respect to a default which is personal to Landlord such as bankruptcy and thus not capable of being cured by Agent or a default which is not capable of being cured without possession of the Property, Agent shall be deemed to be curing such default if, within such 30-day period, Agent commences and thereafter pursues (subject to any judicial stays, injunctions, or other delays) foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Property.
     5. Any notice required of permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered, whether actually received or not, when deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties hereto at the respective addresses set out opposite their names below, or such other addresses as they have heretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith:

     6. Tenant shall not pay rental under the Lease for more than one month in advance.

     7. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date of execution of this Agreement, there is no default by the Landlord under the terms of the Lease and the Lease is in full force and effect.
     8. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require Agent to see to the application of the proceeds of the Loan, and Tenant’s agreement set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modifications of the documents evidencing and securing the Loans.
     9. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their successors and assigns.
