2.    Representations and Warranties of Landlord Relating to Securities.    Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that:

 

(a)    SEC Documents; Additional Information.    Landlord has received, reviewed and considered all information it deems necessary in making an informed decision to make an investment in the Securities. Landlord has had, in connection with its decision to purchase the Securities, the opportunity to review the following: (i) the Tenant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, (ii) its Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002 (iii) all of its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after December 31, 2001 and prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Landlord has relied

2

solely upon the SEC Documents in making its decision to purchase the Securities. Landlord has also had the opportunity to review (s) cash flow projections indicating sources and uses of funds for the next 3 years, (t) a business plan summarizing the Tenant’s restructuring plan, (u) a summary of secured and unsecured creditors including proposed workout negotiations with each entity, (v) Tenant’s projected office space needs for the next three (3) years for all locations, (w) a detailed breakdown of all of Tenant’s general and administrative costs, including occupancy costs, (x) a detailed breakdown of all salary and bonus costs for Tenant’s senior management (Vice President and above), (y) a disclosure of any non-recorded liabilities or contingencies not included in the financial statements, and (z) a summary of Tenant’s contacts for new equity and/or debt financing sources (collectively, the “Forward Looking Information”). Landlord acknowledges that (A) the Forward-Looking Information contains forward-looking projections; (B) such projections are based only on Tenant’s good-faith, reasonable judgment at the time such projections are made, (C) Tenant’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the Forward-Looking Information for many reasons, including the factors described under the heading “Important Factors that May Affect Our Business, Our Results of Operations and Our Stock Price” in the reports that Tenant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other factors, (D) Tenant makes no representations, warranties or guarantees of future performance regarding the information contained in the Forward-Looking Information, (E) Landlord has relied on the information contained in the Forward-Looking Information only for the purpose of deciding whether to modify the Lease and not for any other purpose, (F) Tenant undertakes no duty to update such projections and (G) Landlord relies on such information at its own risk.

 

(b)    Purchase Entirely for Own Account.    Landlord is acquiring the Securities being purchased by it hereunder for investment, for its own account, and not for resale or with a view to distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Landlord does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Landlord has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(c)    Accredited Investor.    Landlord has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Landlord certifies and represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Third Amendment and as of the Warrant Closing Date, it is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities. Landlord’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Securities for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment.

 

(d)    Confidential Information.    Landlord understands that, except for the SEC Documents, any information provided to Landlord by Tenant in connection with the offering contemplated by this Third Amendment, including, without limitation, the existence and nature of discussions regarding this Third Amendment, the Forward Looking Information, Tenant’s summary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, and any other presentations of nonpublic information given by Tenant to Landlord (collectively, the “Nonpublic Information”) is strictly confidential and is being submitted to Landlord solely for

3

Landlord’s confidential use in connection with its investment decision regarding the Securities and the discussion to enter into this Third Amendment and the Essential Premises Lease, and Landlord hereby acknowledges that it is prohibited from reproducing, distributing, divulging or discussing such Nonpublic Information, in whole or in part, except for use internally and by its legal counsel and except as required by law or legal process. Landlord hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material nonpublic information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company.

 

(e)    Restricted Securities.

 

(i)    Landlord understands that the Securities have not been, and, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Landlord’s representations as expressed herein. Landlord understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Landlord must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Landlord further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements, including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to Tenant which are outside of Landlord’s control, and which Tenant is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

(ii)    Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the Warrants are not transferable without the prior written consent of Tenant, except under the limited circumstances provided in the Warrants, and that the Registration Rights Agreement imposes certain restrictions on transfer of the Underlying Shares, as provided therein.

 

(f)    Legends.    Landlord understands and agrees that each certificate in respect of any of the Underlying Shares, and each Warrant, shall be endorsed with a legend substantially in the form set forth below, and Landlord covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by Tenant, it shall not transfer any Warrants, or any Underlying Shares represented by any such certificate, without complying with the legends endorsed on such certificate:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [WARRANT][CERTIFICATE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “ACTS”). NO INTEREST IN SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACTS COVERING THE TRANSACTION, (II) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE

4

 

COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACTS, OR (III) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACTS.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [WARRANT][CERTIFICATE] ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY     , 2003, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ENCUMBERED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT AS SAID AGREEMENT MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED.

 

Landlord agrees that, in order to ensure and enforce compliance with the restrictions imposed by applicable law and those referred to in the foregoing legend, Tenant may, prior to the effectiveness of any registration statement, issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, with respect to any certificate representing the Warrants or the Underlying Shares, and if Tenant transfers its own securities, that it may make appropriate notation to the same effect in Tenant’s records.

 

3.    Representations and Warranties of Tenant Relating to Securities.

 

(a)    Valid Issuance of the Securities.    The Securities being purchased by Landlord hereunder will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms hereof, be duly authorized and validly issued. The Underlying Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their terms, including payment of the exercise price therefore, the Underlying Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of the SEC Documents, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected by a subsequently filed SEC Document.

(e)    Authorization.    All corporate action on the part of Tenant, its officers, directors, and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by Tenant of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and for the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities being issued hereunder has been taken.

Tenant shall be solely responsible for paying any fees or other compensation payable to Broderick in connection with the transactions described in this Third Amendment, and Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claims against Landlord by Broderick for fees or other compensation payable to Broderick in connection with the transactions described in this Third Amendment.

 

(h)    Common Stock.    Upon exercise of the Warrants, the Underlying Shares shall have the rights, preferences, and privileges applicable to outstanding shares of Tenant’s Common Stock and as set forth in Tenant’s Articles of Incorporation. The rights, privileges, and preferences applicable to the Underlying Shares will be no less favorable than the rights, privileges, and preferences applicable to any other shares of Tenant’s Common Stock.

The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with the Transaction Documents, and the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant hereto, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of Tenant or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to Tenant, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

(a)    As of the date hereof, the Essential Premises shall be released from the Premises and Tenant shall have no further rights or obligations with respect to the Essential Premises under the Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be released from any obligations that have accrued or relate to periods prior to the date hereof (including but not

9

limited to any indemnities arising from events occurring prior to the date hereof). Tenant acknowledges that the reduction in the Net Rentable Area of the Premises will reduce proportionately the number of Parking Passes allocated to Tenant so that from and after the date hereof Tenant shall be entitled to only six hundred six (606) Parking Passes. As of the date hereof, the Exhibit A attached to the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the revised Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and Items 7 and 8 of the Basic Lease Information Sheet included in the Lease shall be restated and replaced in their entirety by the following:

 

7.    Premises:		A portion of Floor 1 and all of Floors 2 and 3 in the East Building located at 1120 112th Avenue, N.E., Bellevue, Washington; and all of Floors 3 through 6 (less 270 square feet on Floor 3) in the South Building located at 1100 112th Avenue, N.E., Bellevue, Washington
8.    Net Rentable Area/        Tenant’s        Proportionate Share:		Net Rentable Area of Premises: Two hundred two thousand six hundred and ten (202,610) square feet   Tenant’s Proportionate Share of East Building: 50.66%   Tenant’s Proportionate Share of South Building: 66.35%   Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Project: 42.18%

 

(b)    Provided that all of the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied in full on or before the Effective Date, on the Effective Date the Lease shall terminate with the same force and effect as if it had terminated on its scheduled expiration date. Notwithstanding such termination, Tenant shall not be released from any obligations under the Lease that accrue or relate to periods prior to the Effective Date (including but not limited to any indemnities arising from events occurring prior to the Effective Date).

 

 

(a)    From the date hereof through August 31, 2003, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Operating Costs on the Premises (other than the Essential Premises) in accordance with the terms of the Lease in effect prior to the execution of this Third Amendment.

 

(b)    During the period from September 1, 2003, through the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent on the Premises (other than the Essential Premises) in a fixed amount equal to Three Hundred Fifty-three Thousand One Hundred Thirteen ($353,113) per month. Tenant shall not be required to pay Operating Costs on the Premises during this period.

 

8.    Move In.    Tenant shall use its best efforts to move its entire company operations into and shall occupy the Essential Premises by January 31, 2003, but in any event shall move its entire company operations into and occupy the Essential Premises by no later than March 31, 2003 (the “Final Move in Date”). If Tenant has not moved its entire company operations into and occupied the Essential Premises by the Final Move in Date, then the Effective Date shall be delayed by five (5) days for each day Tenant delays moving in to the Essential Premises after the Final Move in Date. Tenant shall pay all costs related to such move, including but not limited to moving expenses and any tenant improvement work. Any changes to the existing tenant

10

improvements in the Essential Premises shall be considered “Alterations” under the Essential Premises Lease.

 

9.    Restoration/Renovations.    Any changes or alterations that Tenant desires to make to the Premises in order to move its operations into the Essential Premises shall be considered Alterations subject to Section 6.7 of the Lease and shall require Landlord’s consent. Landlord as a condition to providing its consent has required that Tenant remove or restore other components of the existing improvements or systems serving the Premises as more particularly described on Addendums 3 and 4 attached hereto.

 

(a)    The items identified on Addendum 3 shall be completed by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord the estimated cost of such work in the amount of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Five Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($125,515) no more than ten (10) days following the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant that it has received its lender’s consent as required pursuant to Section 4(a) above. Landlord shall pay all costs, if any, in excess of such amount.

 

(b)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the items shown on Addendum 4 (the “Deferred Work”) may be useable by a replacement tenant. Landlord agrees that completion of the Deferred Work may be delayed for a period of time to permit Landlord to determine whether the improvements are useable by another tenant. Landlord may perform the Deferred Work in phases as necessary based on the needs or desires of replacement tenants. Tenant shall pay for fifty percent (50%) of the costs of the Deferred Work up to a maximum of Two Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($275,000) no more than ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of a written demand for payment (together with reasonable documentation of the amount of the costs to be incurred by Landlord). Landlord shall pay the balance. If Tenant pays Landlord for any portion of the Deferred Work and such work has not been completed within six (6) months after the date of such payment, Landlord shall refund the payment to Tenant (without any prejudice to Landlord’s right to request such payment in the future when the Deferred Work is to be completed). However, if Landlord determines that all or any portion of the Deferred Work should be performed in advance to enhance Landlord’s marketing efforts, Landlord may perform a portion of the Deferred Work up to a total cost of Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of such costs (up to a maximum amount of $37,500) upon receipt of a written demand for payment from Landlord (together with reasonable documentation of the amount of the costs to be incurred by Landlord). Any amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be offset against amounts otherwise payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9(b) with respect to Deferred Work.

 

(c)    Any demands for payment to Tenant pursuant to this Section 9 shall be sent to Tenant at its address for notices in Section 1 of the Lease but to the attention of Tenant’s accounts payable department, with copies to the notice addresses for Tenant in Section 1 of the Lease.

 

(d)    If Tenant does not pay any amounts due from Tenant pursuant to this Section 9 on the date due, such failure shall be an Event of Default hereunder without any further notice or opportunity to cure and Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit for payment of such

11

sum. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit under this provision then the next reduction in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 10 below shall be reduced by the amount drawn by Landlord.

 

10.    Security Deposit; Letter of Credit.    Article 3 of the Lease is amended to delete Section 3.2 in its entirety. Tenant’s existing Letter of Credit shall remain in full force and effect through the Effective Date and shall secure Tenant’s obligations under the Lease as amended by this Third Amendment. If all of the Conditions Precedent are satisfied on the Effective Date and thereafter Tenant makes all payments due under the Lease and all payments due under the Essential Premises Lease, including payment of Rent on the Essential Premises and the Premises, on a timely basis without notice from Landlord, then on October 1, 2003, and on the first day of each month thereafter through May 1, 2004, Tenant may arrange for eight (8) monthly reductions in the Letter of Credit in the amount of Five Hundred Six Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-nine Dollars ($506,859) each. Provided that the conditions for such reduction have been satisfied, Landlord will execute any documentation reasonably required by the issuing bank to effect the reductions. In no event however, shall the Letter of Credit be reduced below Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, until Tenant has paid for its share of the cost of the Deferred Work pursuant to Section 9 above, the Letter of Credit shall not be reduced below the sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) plus Tenant’s share of the estimated cost to complete the balance of the Deferred Work. Tenant shall forfeit all rights to reduce the value of the Letter of Credit under this provision if on or before May 1, 2004, any payment due under the Lease or the Essential Premises Lease is not received by Landlord on or before the due date thereof or if a Tenant default or material misrepresentation occurs under the Warrants, the Information Rights Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement. Landlord agrees that the Letter of Credit will be the only security required of Tenant pursuant to this Lease or the Essential Premises Lease.

 

11.    Attempts to Lease Premises.    Following execution of this Third Amendment, Landlord shall commence efforts to find tenants for the Premises and shall market the space as available for a direct lease between Landlord and the replacement tenant rather than as subleased space. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time without notice to or approval of Tenant to show the space to prospective tenants. Landlord shall be solely responsible for marketing of space and shall pay all costs related to any new leases entered into.
