Date, subject to and with the benefit of the terms and provisions of this Lease,
the Leased Premises described in Section 1.1 and depicted in EXHIBIT C. Except
as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Leased Premises does not include the
space above the suspended ceiling or below the surface of the floor slab.
(b) Confirmation of Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet.
Within thirty (30) days after the Premises Improvements are Substantially
Complete (as
defined in the Improvement Agreement), the Project Architect shall verify the
Usable Area (referred to in this Lease as the "Usable Square Feet") and
resulting Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises and of the Building and
provide notice of its determination in writing with reasonable supporting
documents to both Landlord and Tenant. The measurement of Usable Area shall be
made in accordance with American National Standard (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996)
Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, approved by the
American National Standards Institute, Inc., on June 7, 1996, and published by
the Building Owner's and Manager's Association (the "BOMA Standard"). For
purposes of this Lease, the term "Rentable Square Feet" as applied to the Leased
Premises and the Building shall mean the total number of square feet of Rentable
Square Feet, using a thirteen percent (13%) load factor for single-tenant floors
and a nineteen percent (19%) load factor for multi-tenant floors, applied to the
total number of square feet of Usable Area in the Leased Premises and the
Building, respectively, as determined under the BOMA Standard and this provision
(the "Rentable Square Feet"). The Project Architect's determination, made in
good faith, as to whether a floor that is not fully occupied is a single-tenant
floor or a multi-tenant floor shall be conclusive. If as a result of such
verification process the Usable Square Feet and the Rentable Square Feet in the
Leased Premises and the Building are revised, and if after receipt and review of
such verification the Tenant reasonably and in good faith disputes any of the
revised Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet figures for the Leased
Premises or the Building, as determined by the Project Architect, then the
Tenant shall give written notice of its reasonable and good faith objection to
the Landlord ("Tenant's Objection Notice"). If Tenant does not give the Tenant's
Objection Notice within fifteen (15) days of the date that Tenant receives the
notice of determination from the Project Architect, then Tenant shall be deemed
to have waived and released any right to later object to the Usable Square Feet
and Rentable Square Feet determinations. Within fifteen (15) days of the date
that Landlord receives Tenant's Objection Notice pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, the Tenant and Landlord shall meet and use reasonable
efforts to agree on the Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet of the
Leased Premises and the Building. If the Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach
agreement, then the Landlord and Tenant shall select an architect who shall be
mutually acceptable to both parties ("Third Party Architect") to determine the
Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises and the
Building. The determination of the Third Party Architect shall be conclusive on
Landlord and Tenant and shall be provided by written notice with reasonable
supporting documents to both Landlord and Tenant. Upon determination of the
Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises and the
Building, the parties shall execute a written certification setting forth such
Usable Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises and of the
Building, as revised, effective as of the Commencement Date. If the Usable
Square Feet and Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises are revised pursuant
to this Section or otherwise pursuant to this Lease during the Lease Term, the
Tenant's Share of Other Charges shall be adjusted to properly reflect such event
and the parties shall execute a written amendment to this Lease to reflect such
adjusted Usable Square Feet, Rentable Square Feet and Tenant's Share. The cost
and expense of the Project Architect and Third Party Architect for services
required under this Section shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
2.3 RESERVED TO LANDLORD.
Landlord reserves the right from time to time to expand, reduce and
otherwise change the size and dimensions of the Project; locate, relocate,
substitute, alter and change the number and location of buildings and other
improvements within the Project; change any building dimension, and the number
of floors in any of the buildings, Common Areas and Facilities, parking areas,
identity and type of stores and tenancies, the Building name (except as
otherwise provided herein, including without limitation Section 24 below) and
the names and the common areas located from time to time in or on the Building
(except as otherwise provided herein)or in or on the Project. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall not make changes to the Building or Project, their
name, improvements, or Common Areas and Facilities that materially and adversely
interfere with the operation of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises
pursuant to the Permitted Uses, materially increase Tenant's Other Charges due
hereunder, or materially and adversely deny Tenant the principal benefits of
this Lease. Landlord further reserves the use of the exterior walls, the roof,
and the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts,
conduits and wires leading through the Leased Premises (including areas of the
Leased Premises in which there is an open ceiling) in locations which will not
materially interfere with Tenant's use thereof and which serve other parts of
the Building. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to locate such items under
the floor, above the suspended ceiling, or within an interior wall or other
utility raceway or conduit, and otherwise adjacent to an interior wall.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its
consent to Tenant's having an "open ceiling," and not a suspended ceiling, in up
to four (4) floors of the Leased Premises including areas of the Leased Premises
in which the merchandising department and Tenant's Mock Store Use are conducted
provided that the use of an open ceiling design will not in the professional and
disinterested opinion of the Project Architect impair or endanger any Building
systems or otherwise detract from first class character of the Building. Tenant
shall give Landlord assurances that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
Landlord's lenders that Tenant will, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the Lease, pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to cover the cost of installing
a building standard suspended ceiling of a type appropriate for the Building in
any areas of the Leased Premises that do not have such a building standard
suspended ceiling at the time the Lease is terminated. Landlord also reserves
the right to use the areas below and the spaces above the Building in any manner
and for any purpose which does not materially and adversely interfere with
Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, or materially increase Tenant's Other
Charges due hereunder, including without limitation any utility,
telecommunication, satellite or other related use permitted under this Lease, or
materially and adversely deny Tenant the principal benefits of this Lease.
2.4 DECLARATIONS.
The Project presently consists of five (5) separate condominiums, one each
for garage, retail, office, hotel and residential condominiums in the mixed use
Project (the "Condominiums"). There presently is no part of the Project that
does not exist in one of the five (5) Condominiums, all of which are contiguous
to one or more of the other Condominiums. The Project (including the Building)
is subject to a Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Reservations and Easements for Lincoln
Square dated December 23, 2004, and recorded under King County Auditor's Number
20041228002242 (the "Master Declaration"). The Office Condominium and other
condominiums in the Project are each subject to their own separate condominium
declaration and survey map and plans. The Office Condominium was created by the
recording of a Survey Map and Plans for Lincoln Square Office, a Condominium
dated March 8, 2005, and recorded under King County Auditor's Number
20050316000596, and a related Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions
and Easements for Lincoln Square Office, a Condominium dated March 8, 2005, and
recorded under King County Auditor's Number 20050316000597 (collectively, the
"Declaration"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Declaration
and the Declaration, tenants and users in the Building have the benefits of and
are subject to the Master Declaration and the Declaration. Tenant's rights in
the Leased Premises and the Common Areas shall be subject and subordinate to the
provisions of the Master Declaration and the Declaration. Tenant's rights in the
Leased Premises and Common Areas shall include the nonexclusive right to use for
their intended purposes all common elements within the Project and all easements
within the Project that are appurtenant to the Office Condominium or intended
for the use of tenants in the Office Condominium (a) to the extent applicable to
Tenant's uses within the Project and (b) pursuant and subject to the covenants,
conditions, restrictions, reservations and easements in the condominium
declarations, survey maps and plans, bylaws and rules and regulations for any of
the Condominiums in the Project, as such are amended from time to time
(collectively the "Project Documents"). Tenant shall be considered a Major
Tenant of the Project as defined in the Master Declaration. In the event of any
inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Master
Declaration, the Declaration and the Project Documents, the terms and conditions
of this Lease shall control. Landlord agrees not to amend the Declaration or
consent to the amendment of the Master Declaration that would have the effect of
materially interfering with Tenant's use or quiet enjoyment of the Leased
Premises, or materially increasing Base Rent or Other Charges or any other
material obligations of Tenant hereunder, beyond what is provided for under the
terms of this Lease, without Tenant's written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, if Landlord
and the condominium owners determine, in their reasonable good faith discretion,
that there is or has been an inequitable allocation of costs among the
Condominiums, Landlord and the other condominium owners shall have the right to
amend the Master Declaration or Declaration to address such inequitable
allocation.
2.5 OFFICE CONDOMINIUM.
Landlord warrants to Tenant that, other than with respect to Addable
Property, Landlord is the fee owner of both condominium units within the Office
Condominium; and that with respect to the Addable Property, Landlord is a
sublessee under that certain sublease dated March 10, 2005, between Landlord and
LS Holdings, LLC, a Washington limited liability company, under the ▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇
Lease described in Section 26.12 below. Landlord warrants to Tenant that it may
further sublease its sublessee interest in the Addable Property to Tenant under
this Lease.
3. TERM.
3.1 LEASE TERM.
The Commencement Date listed in Section 1.1 of this Lease is an estimate
of the Commencement Date. The actual Commencement Date shall be the first to
occur of the following events: (i) upon Substantial Completion of the Base
Building and Premises Improvements, as defined in the Improvement Agreement, or
(ii) the date on which Tenant takes possession of the Premises for purposes
other than installing Tenant's equipment, telephones and telecommunications
equipment and trade fixtures. If the Commencement Date is later than the
estimated Commencement Date specified in Section 1 above, this Lease shall not
be void or voidable. Landlord shall confirm the actual Commencement Date and
other related matters by delivery of the form of Confirmation of Lease Terms
attached hereto as EXHIBIT G by written notice to Tenant. Although the Lease
Term does not commence until the Commencement Date, all of the other provisions
hereof, other than the obligation to pay Rent, shall commence when Tenant or its
employees, agents or contractors are first present on the Leased Premises. A
"Lease Year" shall mean a calendar year commencing each January 1 and ending the
following December 31. If the Commencement Date is a date other than the first
day of January, the initial Lease Year shall be from the Commencement Date to
December 31 of that calendar year. If the Expiration Date is a date other than
December 31, the final Lease Year shall be from January 1 of the calendar year
of the Expiration Date to the Expiration Date.
3.2 EXPIRATION.
The Lease shall expire on midnight of the last day of the Lease Term,
unless sooner terminated hereunder or by operation of law, without the necessity
for any notice from either Landlord or Tenant to terminate the same. If Tenant
fails to surrender the Leased Premises at the end of the Lease Term, or any
renewal or extension thereof, Tenant shall be liable for, and will indemnify
Landlord against, all claims and demands made by any succeeding tenants against
Landlord to the extent arising out of or caused by Tenant's failure to surrender
the Leased Premises at the end of the Lease Term or any renewal or extension
thereof.
3.3 HOLDING OVER.
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof
with Landlord's written consent shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to
month. During such tenancy, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly rental of one
and one-half (1-1/2) times the amount of the Base Rent payable during the last
month of the Lease Term in addition to the Other Charges and additional rent as
set forth herein. Such tenancy shall be subject to the terms and provisions of
Articles 4 through 28 of this Lease to the extent not inconsistent with a month
to month tenancy.
3.4 PRE-COMMENCEMENT LICENSE.
Thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Commencement Date, Tenant and
Tenant's employees, agents and approved contractors and licensees may enter the
Leased Premises and Building pursuant to a license granted under this Section
3.4 (the "Pre-Commencement License") for the limited purpose of installing
Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment and otherwise preparing to conduct
business in the Leased Premises. The Pre-Commencement License shall be subject
to such reasonable restrictions and conditions as may be imposed by Landlord
from time to time. Tenant's right to enter onto the Leased Premises and Building
pursuant to the Pre-Commencement License shall not trigger the Commencement Date
under Section 3.1 above as long as Tenant complies with the reasonable
restrictions and conditions required by Landlord; provided, however, the terms
and provisions of Articles 1, 2, and 3, Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4, and
Articles 6 through 28 of this Lease, and the provisions and requirements of the
Improvement Agreement shall automatically become effective and apply to all
activities of Tenant and Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and licensees
in, about, or relating to the Leased Premises or Building. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Landlord may require Tenant and any of its agents, contractors or
licensees to sign a separate indemnification and hold harmless instrument and
provide appropriate evidence of insurance coverage as a condition to entering
onto the Leased Premises and the Building. Tenant shall coordinate all
activities on and about the Leased Premises relating to the Premises
Improvements with Landlord's Tenant Coordinator, and Tenant shall not interfere
with or hinder Landlord or Landlord's other tenants with respect to their work
or the use and enjoyment of other space within the Building.
3.5 OPTION TO EXTEND.
(a) Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term beyond the Expiration
Date (the "Extension Option") for one additional period of ten (10) years
commencing on the day following the Expiration Date and ending on the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Expiration Date (the "Extended Term"), if: (i)
Landlord receives written notice of exercise ("Extension Notice") not less than
eighteen (18) full calendar months prior to the Expiration Date and not more
than twenty-four (24) full calendar months prior to the Expiration Date; (ii)
Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at
the time that Tenant delivers its Extension Notice; and (iii) the Lease has not
been assigned (other than to an Affiliate) prior to the date that Tenant
delivers its Extension Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its Binding
Notice.
(b) The initial Base Rent rate per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased
Premises during the Extended Term shall equal the Prevailing Market (hereinafter
defined) rate per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased Premises, but in no event
shall the Based Rent during the Extended Term be less than the Final Base Rent.
Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all but not decrease
below the Final Base Rent, in accordance with the increases assumed in the
determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent attributable to the Leased
Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms
and conditions of Section 4.1 of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Other Charges
during the Extended Term in accordance with Section 4.2 of this Lease.
(c) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's Extension Notice,
Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the applicable Base Rent rate for the
Leased Premises for the Extended Term ("Landlord's Notice"). Within fifteen (15)
days after the date on which Tenant receives Landlord's Notice, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant agrees or disagrees with Landlord's
determination and if Tenant disagrees provide Landlord with written notice of
Tenant's objection (an "Objection Notice"). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord
with an Objection Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be
deemed to have accepted the Base Rent set forth in Landlord's Notice. If Tenant
agrees, or is deemed to have accepted, the Base Rent set forth in Landlord's
Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an Extension Amendment (as defined
below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides
Landlord with an Objection Notice within such fifteen (15) days, Landlord and
Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market
rate for the Leased Premises during the Extension Term. Upon agreement, Landlord
and Tenant shall enter into an Extension Amendment in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are
unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises within thirty
(30) days after the date on which Tenant provides Landlord with the Objection
Notice, either Landlord or Tenant, by written notice to the other (an
"Arbitration Notice") shall have the right to have the Prevailing Market rate
determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described below.
(d) If Landlord or Tenant gives the other an Arbitration Notice, Landlord
and Tenant, within five (5) days after the date of the Arbitration Notice, shall
each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith
estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Leased Premises during the
Extension Term (collectively referred to as the "Estimates"). If the higher of
such Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then
Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the
Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then,
within five (5) days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant shall
each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates most closely
reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Leased Premises during the Extension
Term. Each appraiser so selected shall be a licensed commercial real estate
broker or an MAI real estate appraiser and who shall be familiar with the
Building and have been active (over the five (5) year period ending on the date
of such appointment) in the brokering or appraisal of commercial properties in
the area within a three (3) mile radius of the Building with working knowledge
of current rental rates and practices. For purposes hereof, an "MAI" appraiser
means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an
independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its
successor organization, or in the event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar). Upon selection, Landlord's and
Tenant's appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the
two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Leased
Premises. The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both
Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Premises during the Renewal
Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails
to appoint an appraiser within the five (5) day period referred to above, the
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser for the
purposes hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market within 20 days after their
appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20)
day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the
aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser (i.e., arbitrator) has been
selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in
any case within fourteen (14) days, the arbitrator shall make his determination
of which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate,
and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent
rate for the Leased Premises. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice
would materially assist him, he may retain one or more qualified persons to
provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the
arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any
appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however,
shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert. If the
Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the
Extension Term, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to the Final Base Rent plus a
three dollar ($3.00) per Rentable Square Foot increase until such time as the
Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base
Rent for the Leased Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement
of the Renewal Term for the Leased Premises. If such adjustment results in an
underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If
such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall
credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the
Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the
entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent. If any
act called for in this Section 3.5 falls on a day other than a business day in
Washington, then the deadline for such act shall be the next following business
day.
(e) If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Extension Option,
Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the "Extension Amendment") to reflect
changes in the Base Rent, Lease Term, Expiration Date and other appropriate
terms. The Extension Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time
after the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension has been determined, and
Tenant shall execute and return the Extension Amendment to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of same, but an otherwise valid
exercise of the Extension Option shall be fully effective whether or not the
Extension Amendment is executed.
(f) For purposes of this Extension Option, "Prevailing Market" shall mean
the arm's length fair market annual rental rate per Rentable Square Foot under
renewal leases and amendments for reasonably comparable lengths of time entered
into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined
hereunder for space comparable to the Leased Premises in the Building, Bellevue
Place and other class A office buildings owned or controlled by Landlord or its
affiliates within a two-mile radius of the Building, with improvements
comparable to those existing in the Leased Premises on the date Tenant exercises
the Extension Option and that reflect what a willing, comparable tenant would
pay
and a willing, comparable landlord would accept. The determination of Prevailing
Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the
terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent
abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in
which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and
taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration
any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time
such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing
Market rate will become effective under this Lease.
3.6 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Tenant shall
have an on-going right of first offer (the "Right of First Offer") with respect
to any office space contiguous to the Leased Premises on any floor in the
Building on which the Leased Premises is located and on any office space
immediately adjacent to any floor on which the Tenant leases at least 2/3rd of
the floor's Usable Square Feet (any portion of such space or collectively, the
"Offering Space"). Tenant's Right of First Offer shall be exercised as follows:
at any time after Landlord has determined that an existing tenant in the
Offering Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease for the Offering
Space (but prior to leasing such Offering Space to a party other than the
existing tenant), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the "Advice") of the terms under
which Landlord is prepared to lease the Offering Space to Tenant, including
without limitation the term of any such lease, which terms shall reflect the
Prevailing Market rate for such Offering Space as reasonably determined by
Landlord. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such
terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the "Notice of
Exercise") within five (5) business days after the date of the Advice, except
that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not
provide Tenant with an Advice, if: (i) Tenant is in default under the Lease
beyond any applicable cure periods at the time that Landlord would otherwise
deliver the Advice; or (ii) the Lease has been assigned (other than to an
Affiliate) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
(iii) Tenant is not occupying all of the Leased Premises on the date Landlord
would otherwise deliver the Advice; or (iv) the Offering Space is not intended
for the exclusive use of Tenant during the Lease Term; or (v) the existing
tenant in the Offering Space is interested in extending or renewing its lease
for the Offering Space or entering into a new lease for such Offering Space.
Tenant's Right of First Offer shall expire on the first day of the twenty-fourth
(24th) month prior to the date on which the Lease Term is to expire, as it may
be extended pursuant to Section 3.5 above.
(b) The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon the commencement
date stated in the Advice and thereupon such Offering Space shall be considered
a part of the Leased Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the
Advice shall govern Tenant's leasing of the Offering Space and only to the
extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of
this Lease shall apply to the Offering Space.
(c) Tenant shall pay Base Rent and other Rent for the Offering Space in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Advice, which terms and
conditions shall reflect the Prevailing Market rate for the Offering Space as
determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment.
(d) The Offering Space (including improvements and personal property, if
any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration
existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Offering
Space or as of the date the term for such Offering Space commences, unless the
Advice specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the Offering Space, in
which case Landlord shall perform such work in the Offering Space. If Landlord
is delayed delivering possession of the Offering Space due to the holdover or
unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for
the Offering Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers
possession of the Offering Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.
(e) The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space
shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) Tenant's failure to exercise its
Right of First Offer within the five (5) business day period provided above; and
(ii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not
been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth above.
(f) If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer, Landlord shall prepare
an amendment (the "Offering Amendment") adding the Offering Space to the
Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the
Base Rent, Rentable Square Feet in the Premises, Tenant's Share and other
appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be sent to Tenant
within a reasonable time after Landlord's receipt of the Notice of Exercise
executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the Offering Amendment
to Landlord within fifteen (15) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise
of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering
Amendment is executed.
(g) For purposes of this Right of First Offer provision, "Prevailing
Market" shall mean the annual rental rate per Rentable Square Foot for space
comparable to the Offering Space in the Building under leases and renewal and
expansion amendments being entered into at or about the time that Prevailing
Market is being determined, giving appropriate consideration to tenant
concessions, tenant improvement allowances, existing improvements in the space
in question, and the method of allocating operating expenses and taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, space leased under any of the following
circumstances shall not be considered to be comparable for purposes hereof: (i)
the lease term is for less than the lease term of the Offering Space, (ii) the
space is encumbered by the option rights of another tenant, or (iii) the space
has a lack of windows and/or an awkward or unusual shape or configuration. The
foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of space that will not be
considered to be comparable. The Landlord's good faith determination of what
terms and rentals constitute Prevailing Market shall be deemed conclusive and
dispositive.
4. RENT.
4.1 BASE RENT.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice or demand and without any
setoff or deduction whatsoever, as Base Rent, the monthly sums set forth in
Section 1.1 above (the "Base Rent"), which shall be paid in advance on or before
the first day of each calendar month of the Lease Term. If the Lease Term
commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or expires on a
day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for such month
shall be a prorated portion of the monthly Base Rent, based upon a thirty (30)
day month.
4.2 OTHER CHARGES.
In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay, without any variation,
setoff or deduction, all charges, costs and expenses of any kind and nature
relating to the Leased Premises, as well as Tenant's Share of the items set
forth in this Section 4.2 (herein called "Other Charges"):
(a) Tenant's Share of Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional
rent, in the manner provided in Section 4.2(d), Tenant's Share of the total Real
Estate Taxes. For purposes of this Section, the term "Real Estate Taxes" shall
include all real estate taxes, personal property taxes, surcharges and
assessments, including but not limited to local improvement district and water
improvement district assessments, if any, that are or may be levied upon,
assessed against or attributable to the Leased Premises, the Building and the
land underlying the Building in which the Leased Premises are located and all
improvements, fixtures and equipment of Landlord located thereon or used in
connection with the operation of the Building and that are payable during the
Lease Term. The term "Real Estate Taxes" shall also include the share of such
Project taxes, surcharges and assessments levied with respect to the Project
which are allocated to the Building under the Project Documents; any taxes
levied or assessed in lieu of, in whole or in part, such real or personal
property taxes; any taxes in addition to such real and personal property taxes,
including, but not limited to, taxes or license fees upon or measured by the
leasing of the Building or the rents or other income collected therefrom, other
than any federal or state net income or inheritance tax; and all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in efforts to reduce or minimize such taxes or
assessment levels. Tenant's Share of the Real Estate Taxes shall be an amount
equal to the total Real Estate Taxes during each Lease Year of the Lease Term,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Square Feet in
the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the Rentable Square Feet in
the Building.
(b) Tenant's Share of Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
additional rent, in the manner provided in Section 4.2(d), Tenant's Share of
"Building Operating Costs" which shall include the Building's share of "Project
Operating Costs" incurred by Landlord in any Lease Year. "Building Operating
Costs" means Operating Costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
maintaining, managing, operating, repairing and administering the Building, and
any Project Operating Costs which are allocated to Landlord with respect to the
Building pursuant to the Project Documents, or otherwise allocated to the
Building based on such other information or agreement as Landlord in good ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ (i) reasonable and equitable, and (ii) consistent with first-class office
building management practices in other class A office buildings in the Bellevue
central business district. "Project Operating Costs" mean Operating Costs
incurred in maintaining, managing, operating, repairing and administering the
Project which are appropriately charged to Landlord with respect to the Building
pursuant to the Project Documents and this provision. Tenant's Share of Building
Operating Costs shall be equal to the total Building Operating Costs during each
Lease Year of the Lease Term, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Rentable Square Feet in the Leased Premises and the denominator of which
is the Rentable Square Feet in the Building. The Building Operating Costs
include the appropriate share of Project Operating Costs attributable to the
Building. Thus in paying Tenant's Share of Building Operating Costs, Tenant will
also be paying its share of Project Operating Costs generally in proportion to
and consistent with the benefits afforded to the Building from the services or
amenities generating such Project Operating Costs, as determined by the Landlord
in good faith.
(c) Operating Costs. The term "Operating Costs" when used in conjunction
with either the Building or the Project, as the case may be, means all expenses
paid or incurred by Landlord or charged to Landlord for maintaining, managing,
operating, repairing, replacing and administering either the Building, the
Project, and/or the Common Areas and Facilities (the term "Common Areas and
Facilities" is defined in Section 13.1), and the personal property used in
conjunction therewith, including without limitation, water, sewer, electricity,
heat, air conditioning, fuel, light, fire protection, and other utilities and
services; supplies; janitorial and cleaning services; window washing; snow,
garbage and refuse removal; security and information technology services and
systems; landscape maintenance; parking maintenance and operations; compensation
(including employment taxes and fringe benefits provided such fringe benefits
are reasonable and customary for the area in which the Building is located) of
all persons who perform duties in connection with the operation, management,
maintenance, repair and administration of either the Building, the Project,
and/or the Common Areas and Facilities as the case may be; insurance premiums
for all insurance carried with respect to the Building, the Project, and/or the
Common Areas and Facilities (and all deductibles with respect thereto) as the
case may be; licenses, permits and inspection fees; subsidies, fees and other
payments required by public bodies (such as, but not limited to, bus rider and
other transit subsidies and the cost of implementing and administering such
subsidies); property management fees; reserves to cover the depreciation of
Building systems; costs of compliance with any applicable legal requirement,
including without limitation any transportation management plan; market-based
rent for any on-site property management office; easement and license fees; the
cost of any capital improvements necessary or appropriate to fulfill Landlord's
repair or maintenance obligations, or required by any applicable governmental
law or regulation not in effect at the time Tenant is required to take occupancy
of the Leased Premises, or items which, although capital in nature, are made to
reduce the normal operating costs of the Building (but such costs shall be
amortized over their useful life and shall be included if in compliance with
Section 4.2(l) below); reasonable legal and accounting expenses and all other
expenses or charges whether or not hereinabove described which, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting and management practices, would be considered
an expense of maintaining, managing,
operating, repairing, replacing and administering the Building, the Project,
and/or the Common Areas and Facilities, as the case may be. The activities and
costs related to the Common Areas and Facilities are to be included in the
appropriate category of Building Operating Costs or Project Operating Costs
which are then allocated throughout the Project based on their location in or
relationship to the Building or Project, respectively.
(d) Payment of Other Charges. Within ninety (90) days after the expiration
of each Lease Year of the Lease Term (or as soon thereafter as such information
becomes available), Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's
estimate of Tenant's Share of the Other Charges due for the next Lease Year.
Tenant shall pay the estimated Tenant's Share in advance in equal monthly
installments on the first day of each month of such Lease Year. During the
period of time following the expiration of a Lease Year and Tenant's receipt of
its estimated Tenant's Share, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the same
amounts that were estimated for the prior Lease Year. Within ninety (90) days
after the end of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as such information
becomes available, Landlord shall compute Tenant's Share for such Lease Year
based upon the actual amount of the Other Charges for that Lease Year, and if
the total amount paid by Tenant for such Lease Year is less than the actual
amount of Tenant's Share for such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord any
deficiency promptly upon receipt of a written notice of the amount thereof from
Landlord. If the total amount paid by Tenant for such Lease Year exceeds the
actual amount of Tenant's Share, Landlord shall credit such excess to the next
monthly payments of Tenant's Share of Other Charges which thereafter come due.
If this Lease commences at a time other than the beginning of a calendar year,
Tenant shall pay the estimated Tenant's Share for the remaining portion of the
initial Lease Year from and including the Commencement Date. If this Lease
expires at a time other than the last day of a calendar year, Tenant shall be
obligated to pay immediately any deficiencies which shall be computed at the
expiration of that Lease Year. If the estimated amount Tenant has paid for that
Lease Year exceeds the actual amount of Tenant's Share, and if Tenant has
otherwise complied with all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and has
paid all amounts that are or may otherwise become payable to Landlord, Landlord
shall credit such excess to the next payment or payments of Additional Rent due
hereunder, or refund such excess to Tenant if such excess occurs in the final
Lease Year of the Lease Term. If at any time during a Lease Year the amount of
the estimated Other Charges increases over the actual amount thereof for the
preceding Lease Year, or if the estimated Other Charges for a Lease Year are
revised and exceed the previously estimated Other Charges for such Lease Year,
then Landlord may, at its election, adjust the amount of monthly estimated
installments due during the balance of that Lease Year to compensate for such
increase. Any increased payments required to be made pursuant to this Section
shall be made within thirty (30) days after Landlord has notified Tenant
thereof. Tenant's obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
(e) Future Development. Tenant is aware that Landlord, by itself or in
combination with other persons, may, subject to Section 2.3 above, further
expand and develop the Building and Project. Such additional expansions and
developments may include, without limitation, the addition of a skybridge across
NE ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.2(h) below, in the event any such additional
developments are completed during the Lease Term, any additional operating or
repair costs or maintenance expenses and real estate taxes attributable to such
additions or other phases (but subject to Sections 4.2(h) and 4.2(l) below) may
be included in the Other Charges at Landlord's discretion, so long as any
additional rentable areas associated with such expansion or development are also
included in the base of those who share such additional costs and real estate
taxes pay their pro rata share of such items.
(f) Disputes Relating To Other Charges. If Tenant desires to contest any
Other Charge calculation by Landlord or the amount of any Other Charge payable
by Tenant, Tenant must give Landlord a written notice (an "Objection Notice")
stating that Tenant disputes the calculation or amount. The Objection Notice
must be received by Landlord within ninety (90) days after the last day of the
Lease Year to which the disputed Other Charge pertains and must set forth with
particularity the reason why Tenant disputes Landlord's calculation or the
amount. If Tenant fails to give Landlord such an Objection Notice within such
time, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived and released any and all rights it
may have to contest the calculation and amount of such Other Charge. Promptly
after receiving any such Objection Notice from Tenant, Landlord shall meet with
Tenant and both Tenant and Landlord shall attempt in good faith to reconcile the
matters described in the Objection Notice; provided, however, if Tenant refuses
to meet with Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord received
the Objection Notice from Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived and
released any and all rights it may have to contest Landlord's calculation and
the amount of such Other Charge. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve
the dispute within a reasonable time, Landlord shall cause its accounting firm
to undertake an investigation and analysis of the matter and prepare a written
report, a copy of which shall be provided to Tenant. The cost of the
investigation, analysis and report shall be paid for by Tenant unless the
investigation and analysis discloses a material (i.e., five percent (5%) or
more) error favoring Landlord, in which event Landlord shall bear the cost of
the investigation, analysis and report. If the report discloses that the amount
or calculation used by Landlord was incorrect, Landlord shall provide a credit
to Tenant for future Other Charges payable by Tenant equal to the amount of any
overpayment paid by Tenant during the Lease Year to which Tenant's Objection
Notice relates or Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment,
whichever may be applicable. Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute
hereunder, Tenant shall continue to pay all Other Charge amounts based upon
Landlord's determination and calculation or until such calculation or amount has
been established hereunder to be incorrect. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 4.2(k) below, Tenant shall not have the right to examine or inspect, and
Landlord has no obligation to provide Tenant access to, any of the books,
records and accounts of Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate.

(10) costs, fines or penalties incurred because the Landlord
violated any laws, regulations or rules of any governmental authority with
jurisdiction over the Building(s);
(11) any item or expense that, but for this exclusion, would be
included twice, so that no duplication of expenses will occur;
(12) wages, bonuses and other compensation and benefits of employees
above the grade of Building Manager;
(13) costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or
hypothecating any of Landlord's interest in the Building;
(14) costs incurred in remediating Hazardous Materials now existing
or hereafter discovered below the ground surface of the Project;
(15) costs incurred with owning and/or operating the parking lot(s)
serving the Building by independent parking operators, provided Landlord charges
tenants of the Building a fee to park therein;
(16) overhead and profit increment paid to subsidiaries or
affiliates of Landlord for services, including management services, on or to the
Building, to the extent that the costs of such services exceed reasonable costs
for such services were they not rendered by a subsidiary or affiliate;
(17) costs of the initial construction of the Building and/or the
Project (including the costs of roads, hook ups, LIDs, interchanges, traffic
signals, access ways, drainage systems, street signs, street lights, and curbs
and gutters) and the acquisition and construction costs of expanding the
Building and/or the Project, including the proposed SkyBridge between Lincoln
Square and Bellevue Place (as opposed to the costs of operating and maintaining
the expanded portion of the Building and/or the Project, to the extent the same
may be included in Other Charges);
(18) any bad debt, rent loss (excluding insurance premiums related
thereto), or reserves for bad debt or rent loss (excluding insurance premiums
related thereto);
(19) costs of repairing items that are covered by warranties, to the
extent of such warranty coverage;
(20) cost of correcting defects in the design, construction or
equipment of, or latent defects in the Leased Premises, Building or Project;
(21) leasing commissions, advertising and promotional expenses, and
other such costs incurred in connection with seeking and obtaining new tenants
and retaining existing tenants;
(22) costs of any item for which Landlord is or is entitled to be
paid or reimbursed by insurance;
(23) lease payments for rental equipment (other than equipment for
which depreciation is properly charged as an Expense which would constitute a
major capital expenditure if the equipment were purchased);
(24) costs arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord; and
(25) damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to
other Tenants in the Building under their respective leases.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 of the Lease to the
contrary, Other Charges shall not include, and Tenant shall not be responsible
for, income, gift, estate, inheritance, succession, or transfer taxes imposed on
Landlord.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, there shall be
no duplication of any particular cost, charge or expense in any of the Other
Charges set forth in this Section 4.2 of the Lease, provided Landlord reserves
the right to include both a
reasonable and customary administrative fee and a reasonable and customary
management fee (based on administrative and management fees charged by landlords
in similar first class office buildings within the Bellevue central business
district) within Other Charges.
(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 of the Lease to the
contrary, not more than once each Lease Year during the Lease Term, and within
sixty (60) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written summary of Other
Charges for such Lease Year, Tenant may give Landlord written notice ("Review
Notice") that Tenant intends to review Landlord's records of the Other Charges
for that Lease Year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice
(not more than sixty (60) days), Landlord shall make all pertinent records
available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its
review, which review must be conducted during Landlord's regular business hours.
If any records are maintained at a location other than in the Building, Tenant
may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable
cost of copying and shipping the records. Tenant may, during Landlord's regular
business hours after ten (10) days' prior written notice, request that an
inspection be made or an audit be performed of the Other Charges. The entity or
agent performing the inspection or audit must be mutually acceptable to Landlord
and Tenant and under no circumstances may the fee charged by such entity or
agent be a contingency fee. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs,
expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within sixty (60) days after the
records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give
Landlord written notice (an "Objection Notice") stating in reasonable detail any
objection to Landlord's statement of Other Charges for the Lease Year audited.
If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60-day period or
fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 60-day period
described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord's statement of
other charges and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Other
Charges for that Lease Year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection
Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any
issues raised in Tenant's Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine
that Other Charges for the Lease Year are less than reported, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount
of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that
Other Charges for the Lease Year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days of determining the
shortfall. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In
no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord's records or to dispute
any statement of Other Charges unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all
Rent when due.
(l) With regard to single capital expenditure by Landlord related to the
Building that is in excess of $1,000,000.00 and that is or will be included in
Other Charges, Landlord shall review any such expenditure with Tenant and
explain the basis for Landlord's belief that such an expenditure is necessary or
appropriate to fulfill Landlord's repair or maintenance obligations, or required
by any applicable governmental law or regulation not in effect at the time
Tenant is required to take occupancy of the Leased Premises, or such
expenditure, although capital in nature, is made to reduce the normal operating
costs of the Building.
4.3 SECURITY DEPOSIT.
If an amount is indicated for the Security Deposit in Section 1.1 above,
Tenant shall, upon the waiver or satisfaction of the contingency set forth in
Section 29 below, deposit with Landlord as a security deposit the amount shown
in Section 1.1 above. The security deposit shall be held by Landlord as security
for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the entire
Lease Term. If Tenant is in breach or default under any provision of this Lease,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part
of the security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other amount in
breach or default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or
become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's breach or default, or to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of Tenant's breach or default. In the event Landlord does so use, apply
or retain all or any part of the security deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10)
days of Landlord's demand therefor, deliver to Landlord a cashier's check for
the amount so used, applied or retained. Landlord shall not be required to keep
the security deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on the deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it and no amounts are
or may become payable to Landlord by Tenant after the Lease Term, the security
deposit or any balance thereof after any deductions hereunder by Landlord shall
be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of
Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the expiration of
the Lease Term or the date Tenant returns complete possession of the Leased
Premises to Landlord in the condition required by this Lease, whichever shall
last occur. No trust relationship is created hereby between Landlord and Tenant
with respect to the Security Deposit.
4.4 LATE CHARGES.
If Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any Base Rent or
Other Charges described above, or any other amounts due pursuant to this Lease,
which amounts shall be and are referred to as "additional rent," then such
unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month
from the date due to the date of payment unless such amount would violate any
applicable usury or other law, in which event such unpaid amounts shall bear
interest at the highest rate then allowed by law. In addition to such interest,
Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment
of Base Rent, Other Charge or additional rent will cause Landlord to incur
certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount
of such costs being extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and
expenses include, without limitation, administrative and collection costs,
processing and accounting expenses, and interest and penalties imposed by the
terms of any contracts, mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Leased
Premises, the Building or the Real Property. Therefore, if any Base Rent, Other
Charge or additional rent payment is not received by Landlord from Tenant by the
fifth (5th) day after such payment is due, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to twelve percent (12%) of such payment. Landlord
and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such
costs and expenses and is fair compensation to
Landlord for its loss and expenses suffered by such nonpayment by Tenant.
Acceptance of this late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's breach
or default with respect to such nonpayment by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any or all other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant in not otherwise in
default or breach of this Lease and pays in full any amount not paid when due
within ten (10) days of being advised by Landlord that a payment has not been
received when due, Landlord shall waive up to one (1) late charge in any
twenty-four (24) month period during the Lease Term; provided Tenant has paid
all sums due under this Lease on or before the first (1st) day of the calendar
month in the previous twenty-four (24) calendar months during the Lease Term.
4.5 NO OFFSETS OR DEDUCTIONS/PLACE OF PAYMENT.
All Base Rent, Other Charges, and additional rent shall be paid in lawful
money of the United States of America and shall be paid without offset or
deduction. Landlord shall have the right to designate, from time to time, the
place or places at which Tenant shall tender all Base Rent, Other Charges and
additional rent payments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Landlord shall have the right to require, at any time, that (a) Tenant not make
payment at or through the lock box currently available to tenants at the
Building, and (b) all such payments be made exclusively at Landlord's management
offices in the Building. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, apply payments
made by Tenant first to accrued charges, interest and rent in the following
order: (i) Late Charges, (ii) interest, (iii) additional rent, (iv) past-due
Base Rent, Other Charges and any balance remaining to current Base Rent, and
Other Charges and additional rent.
5. USE.
5.1 PERMITTED USES.
Tenant shall not use, permit or suffer the use of the Leased Premises for
any business or purpose other than those specifically set forth in Section 1.1
above. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive
right to such use in the Building or Project.
5.2 USES PROHIBITED.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.1 (Permitted Uses),
Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer anything to be done in or about the Leased
Premises, the Building or the Project or bring or keep anything therein which
will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project (unless Tenant
agrees to pay for the additional cost of such insurance and such use is
otherwise a Permitted Use), or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project or any of their
contents. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer anything to be done in or about
the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project that is unlawful or will in any
way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
Building or the Project or injure or annoy them, their customers
or clients, nor shall Tenant use or allow the Leased Premises to be used for any
purpose which is incompatible with a first class office building in Landlord's
reasonable judgment, which is offensive to any other tenant in the Building
acting reasonably or which may be unlawful. Tenant is aware that Floors 4 and 5
are adjacent to a space being utilized by a movie theater and that Tenant's
activities in the Leased Premises shall not be conducted in a manner that
impairs such use or annoys the patrons of the theater. In no event shall Tenant
use the Leased Premises in any manner which violates any recorded restriction
applicable to the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project. No manufacturing
operations shall be conducted from the Leased Premises.
(b) If Tenant permits or engages in any activity which, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, is objectionable, offensive or otherwise
constitutes a nuisance to the customers or other tenants of the Building or the
Project or that may be unlawful, or in violation of this Lease, Tenant shall
immediately discontinue such activity or take immediate action to cause the
activity to be discontinued with all due diligence if it cannot be immediately
discontinued. Tenant's failure to comply shall constitute a material breach and
default of this Lease and entitle Landlord to pursue its remedies for such a
breach and default or, in the alternative, cause the performance of such work as
may be appropriate to discontinue such activity and recover, as additional rent,
the cost thereof, plus interest thereon at four percent (4%) over the prime rate
of interest charged or published by Bank of America (or its successor) on the
first day of each month, commencing on the date due through the date of payment.
Such additional rent shall become due and payable to Landlord ten (10) days
following delivery of an invoice for same to Tenant.
(c) Tenant shall not place a load upon the floor of the Leased
Premises exceeding a 50 pound live load and 20 pound dead load per square foot
without Landlord's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or delayed but which may be subject to reasonable conditions;
provided, however, a capacity of 100 pounds per square foot live load will be
provided within five (5) feet of the north and south ends of the core area of
the floors for storage, files and server rooms. Business machines, mechanical
equipment and materials belonging to Tenant that cause vibration, noise, cold,
heat or fumes that may be transmitted to the Building or to any other leased
space therein it such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any
other tenant in the Building shall be placed, maintained, isolated, stored
and/or vented by Tenant at its sole expense so as to absorb and prevent such
vibration, noise, cold, heat or fumes.
(d) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, Tenant
shall not install or operate in the Premises any electrical or other equipment,
other than such equipment as is commonly used in modern offices, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, or delayed but which may be conditioned upon the payment
by Tenant of additional rent in compensation for excess consumption of water or
electricity, excess wiring and other similar requirements, and any changes,
replacements or additions to any Base Building system as may be occasioned by
the operation of said equipment or machinery. The Improvement Agreement
contains, or
will contain, a description of the electrical system to be provided as part of
the Base Building Improvements.
5.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all
local, state or federal laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental and
quasi-governmental rules, and other governmental regulations or requirements now
in force or which may hereafter be in force with respect or related to Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Leased Premises and Tenant's business conducted
therein.
5.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.
Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material, as defined below,
to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Leased Premises or the Building
by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. If Tenant breaches
the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of any
Hazardous Material caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the
Leased Premises or any part of the Building or any other property, or if
contamination of the Leased Premises or any part of the Building or other
property by any Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for which Tenant may be
legally liable to Landlord for damage resulting therefrom, then Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments,
damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without
limitation, diminution in value of the property, damages for the loss or
restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Building
or the Leased Premises, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of
space at the Building, damages to any other property and amounts paid in
settlement of claims, reasonable attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert
fees) which arise during or after the Lease Term as a result of such
contamination. Without limiting the foregoing, this indemnification of Landlord
by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any
investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or
restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or
political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or
ground water on or under the Building or other property, if the presence of any
Hazardous Material caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of
the Leased Premises or any part of the Building or other property. Tenant shall
promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the
Leased Premises and the Building or other property to the condition existing
prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material; provided that
Landlord's approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially
have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Leased Premises
or the Building or other property. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material"
means any hazardous, dangerous, toxic or harmful substance, material or waste
which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of
Washington or the United States government. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without limiting the indemnities set forth above, routine and ordinary cleaning
products, office supply products (such as toner for copiers), substances used in
connection with Tenant's QA Use,
and ordinary substances that otherwise would be "Hazardous Materials," as
defined herein) may be brought within the Leased Premises without Landlord's
consent so long as such products are used in the reasonable and prudent conduct
of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises, and are used with due care, in
accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of such products and in
compliance with all applicable laws and governmental rules, regulations and
orders. Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify Landlord under this Section
5.4 with respect to any contamination of the Office Condominium by any Hazardous
Materials in the Condominium prior to the Commencement Date.
6. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
6.1 TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY.
Tenant shall pay before delinquency, at its sole cost and expense, all
charges for water, gas, heat, electricity, power, telephone service, sewer
service and sewer rentals charged or attributable to the Leased Premises, and
all other services or utilities used in, upon or about the Leased Premises
during the Lease Term and the cost of installing meters or check meters therefor
but only if required by Landlord under this provision; provided, however, that
if any such services or utilities shall be billed to Landlord and are not
separately metered to the Leased Premises, the amount thereof shall be prorated
by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, as additional rent
hereunder, Tenant's share of such combined costs, expenses and charges, which
shall be an amount equal to the total charges therefor multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which equals Tenant's estimated usage (as determined by
Landlord from time to time in good faith) and the denominator of which equals
the total usage of all tenants covered by such combined charges. Tenant shall
not at any time overburden or exceed the capacity of the mains, feeders, ducts,
conduits or other facilities by which such utilities are supplied to,
distributed in or serve the Leased Premises and Tenant shall comply with the
rules, regulations and requirements of all governmental and quasi-governmental
agencies with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, if reasonably requested by Landlord based upon Tenant's electrical use
being greater that that of other office tenants in the Building as determined by
Landlord's electrical engineer, Tenant shall install, or cause to be installed,
as part of the Premises Improvements, separate meters for the affected portions
of the Leased Premises. Such meters shall be installed in accordance with the
building specifications. Tenant shall receive a credit against the cost of such
separately metered electrical use, as reasonably determined by Landlord, at the
cost charged to Tenant for the separately metered electricity used.
6.2 INTERRUPTION.
In no event shall Landlord be liable for an interruption or failure in the
supply of any such utilities to the Leased Premises, and the same shall not
constitute a termination of this Lease or eviction of Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 of the Lease to the contrary,
but subject to the requirements of any federal, state or local authorities, in
the event that any of the
Standard Services are interrupted for five (5) consecutive days or more and
provided further that the remedy for such interruption is exclusively within
Landlord's direct control, then in such event, Tenant shall be entitled to an
equitable abatement of Rent from the date of the interruption until the Standard
Services are fully restored to the extent that the Leased Premises are unusable
by Tenant for their intended purposes.
If, at any time during the Lease Term, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. or his immediate
family ("▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family"), and their heirs or beneficiaries, or entities owned
or controlled by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family, their heirs or beneficiaries, cease to
maintain a controlling interest in the Building or the management thereof, then
Tenant's right to abatement in the immediately preceding paragraph shall also be
triggered if the interruption is caused by Landlord's negligence or willful
misconduct, and Tenant may, following the expiration of the above referenced
five (5) day period in the paragraph above, and upon prior written notice to
Landlord, proceed to remedy the cause of the interruption and Landlord shall pay
Tenant all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Tenant in so
doing.
6.3 TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES.
All telephone and telecommunications services desired by Tenant shall be
ordered and utilized by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Tenant understands
and acknowledges the telecommunications switching facilities in the Project may
be owned and operated by a third party, and such third party may have the right
to charge other telecommunications providers for access to such facilities
subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations. Tenant shall separately
contract with such third party or another telecommunications provider (a
"Provider") to provide telephone and telecommunications services to the
Premises. If Tenant desires to utilize the services of a Provider whose
equipment is not then servicing the Building, such Provider must obtain the
written consent of Landlord (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) before it will be permitted to install its lines or
other equipment within the Building or use existing conduit or riser space
within the Building or Project. Landlord's consent to the installation of lines
or equipment within the Building by any Provider shall be evidenced by a written
agreement between Landlord and the Provider, which contains terms and conditions
acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord's refusal for any
reason whatsoever to consent to any prospective Provider shall not be deemed a
default or breach by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord
makes no warranty or representation to Tenant as to the suitability, capability
or financial strength of any Provider whose equipment is presently serving the
Building, and Landlord's consent to a Provider whose equipment is not presently
serving the Building shall not be deemed to constitute such a representation or
warranty. To the extent the service by a Provider is interrupted, curtailed or
discontinued for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall have no obligation or
liability in connection therewith unless the interruption is caused by the
negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, and it shall be the sole
obligation of Tenant at its expense to obtain substitute service. The provisions
of this paragraph are solely for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord, are not for
the benefit of any third party. No telephone or telecommunications provider
shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof.
6.4 STANDARD SERVICES.
As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the provisions of this
Lease, Landlord shall cause the Leased Premises (in accordance with Section 10.3
below) and the public and common areas of the Building, (and the Project Common
Areas), including the lobbies, elevators, stairs, corridors and rest rooms, to
be maintained in reasonably good order and condition consistent with the
operation and maintenance of the Building as a first-class office building in
downtown Bellevue, except for damage occasioned by any act or omission of Tenant
or Tenant's officers, contractors, agents, invitees, licensees or employees, the
repair of which shall be paid for by Tenant ,so long as damage occasioned by
other tenants and their officers, contractors, agents, invitees, licensees or
employees, is paid for by such other tenants. From 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
weekdays, excluding legal holidays, and from 8:00 a.m. to noon on Saturdays
("Regular Business Hours"), Landlord shall furnish the Leased Premises with
electricity for lighting and operation of low power usage office machines,
water, heat, air conditioning and elevator service as is customary and
anticipated by tenants in a first-class office building (the "Standard
Services"). During all other hours, Landlord shall furnish the Standard
Services, including elevator service as reasonably required to provide access to
the Leased Premises, except for heat and air conditioning and lighting. If
requested by Tenant, Landlord shall furnish heat and air conditioning and
lighting at times other than Regular Business Hours and the cost of such
services, as established by Landlord (which in no event shall exceed Landlords'
actual cost of such services), shall be paid by Tenant in the same manner as
provided in Section 4.1 above. Landlord also shall provide lamp replacement
service for Building Standard fluorescent light fixtures (but not for any
specialty lighting installed by Tenant), toilet room supplies, window washing at
reasonable intervals and customary building janitorial service in the Leased
Premises consistent with those services in other first-class office buildings as
part of the Standard Services, although no janitorial service shall be provided
for Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays. The cost and expense of any janitorial
or other services provided or caused to be provided by Landlord to Tenant in
addition to the services ordinarily provided Building tenants or is excessive
relative to services provided to other tenants in the Building generally, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the additional cost resulting from such
services, which shall be paid by Tenant in the same manner as provided for
payment in Section 4.1 above. Standard Services shall not include any security
services exclusively for Tenant within the Leased Premises. General security
services will be provided in a manner consistent with the nature of the Project,
and its cost will be allocated as a Building and/or Project Operating Cost.
Landlord has not and does not make any representations to Tenant and assumes no
responsibility to Tenant that the security services that are provided by
Landlord will be effective in preventing any harm, both physical and economic,
to Tenant or any of Tenant's employees or invitees. The HVAC system that
Landlord shall install in the Building is generally described in Schedule D-1
and, among other things, shall allow temperature adjustments to be made in the
Leased Premises on a zone by zone basis on each floor. Tenant shall pay any and
all costs required to implement the features of the system by which Tenant may
make temporary adjustments on a zone by zone basis on each floor . Any services
provided by Landlord under this Section 6.4 shall be applied consistently and in
a nondiscriminatory manner.
6.5 ADDITIONAL SERVICES.
The Improvement Agreement describes the Base Building standard mechanical
and electrical systems. Tenant shall not install lights and equipment in the
Leased Premises which exceed the load limits set forth in Tenant's final plans
and specifications for Premises Improvements without Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but which
may be subject to reasonable conditions. Landlord shall not arbitrarily withhold
consent to Tenant's installation of lights and equipment exceeding such loads
but may condition its consent on Tenant's payment of the costs incurred by
Landlord for the installation, operation, repair and maintenance of
supplementary air conditioning capacity or electrical systems as necessitated by
such equipment or lights. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, on the first day of each month during
the Lease Term, such amount estimated by Landlord to be the cost of furnishing
electricity to Tenant for the operation of such equipment or lights and such
amount estimated by Landlord to be the cost of operating and maintaining the
supplementary air conditioning units as necessitated by Tenant's use of such
equipment or lights. Such costs shall be paid by Tenant in the same manner as
provided in Section 4 above. In the event of nonpayment of amounts due for any
of the above-described additional services, Landlord shall have the same rights
and remedies as it has with respect to the nonpayment of rent hereunder.
Landlord shall be entitled to install and operate, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, monitoring or metering system in the Leased Premises to measure
Tenant's use of electricity, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
services. Tenant shall comply with Landlord's instructions for the use of blinds
and thermostats in the Building.
6.6 TENANT ACCESS.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, during the Lease Term
Landlord shall not take any action to deny Tenant physical access to the Leased
Premises, the Building or the Project at any time, and shall at all times
provide elevator access to the Leased Premises as well as non-exclusive access
to the Building freight elevator and loading dock, provided Tenant's use of and
access to such freight elevator and loading dock shall be coordinated with
Landlord. To the greatest extent practical without disrupting general Building
operations and without cost or expense to Landlord, Landlord shall cause the
freight elevator to rest at either the 4th or 5th floors of the Building, Monday
through Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease and reasonable security, life safety and other limitations appropriate for
a first class office building, Landlord shall not adopt or implement any rules,
regulations or policies that prevent Tenant from having continuous access to the
Leased Premises during the Lease Term.
6.7 BACK-UP POWER GENERATORS.
The Base Building Improvements will include provisions for the
installation and use of a back-up emergency power generator for life safety
systems in the Building. Landlord shall not and does not provide any
representations, warranties or other assurances regarding
the performance or availability of any back-up power. Subject to Landlord's
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld and all applicable
statutes, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations, Tenant may install an
additional 125 KVA emergency generator, together with any necessary improvements
on floor 29 of the Building or elsewhere as Landlord determines practicable, as
and where shown on EXHIBIT J, including a fuel supply lines, electrical cables
and/or conduits to the Leased Premises and related equipment required to enable
the additional generator to operate as designed for its intended purpose
(jointly referred to as the "Tenant Generator"). Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost,
be responsible for all repair, maintenance, and replacement of the Tenant
Generator and shall use contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord for all
such repair, maintenance and replacement of the Tenant Generator, but no Other
Charge or fee shall be payable to Landlord for the installation or use of the
Tenant Generator. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
evidence of a reasonably acceptable maintenance contract or program for the
Tenant Generator. The Tenant Generator shall be and become the property of
Landlord upon installation and the Tenant Generator shall not be removed by
Tenant unless so required by Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of
the Lease and Tenant agrees to remove the Tenant Generator and repair any damage
caused by the removal, if so requested by Landlord. Tenant shall provide
Landlord with evidence that the liability and property damage insurance
coverages required to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this Lease include
the Tenant Generator and Tenant's operation thereof. Tenant shall be entitled to
use and operate the Tenant Generator for emergency purposes only and shall
schedule all testing with Landlord in advance.
6.8 TENANT'S SUPPLEMENTAL HVAC SYSTEM.
Subject to Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld and all applicable statutes, ordinances, governmental rules and
regulations, Tenant may install a supplemental HVAC system, including the ducts
required to serve the Leased Premises and the related equipment (the "Tenant
HVAC System"). Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost, be responsible for the design,
acquisition and installation costs and all repair, maintenance, and replacement
costs for the Tenant HVAC System and shall use only contractors reasonably
acceptable to Landlord for all such installation, repair, maintenance and
replacement work on the Tenant HVAC System. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with evidence of a reasonably acceptable maintenance contract
or program for the Tenant HVAC System. The Tenant HVAC System shall be and
become the property of Landlord upon installation and the Tenant HVAC System
shall not be removed by Tenant unless so required by Landlord at the expiration
or sooner termination of the Lease and Tenant agrees to remove the Tenant HVAC
System, and repair any damage caused by the removal, if so requested by
Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that the liability and
property damage insurance coverages required to be carried by Tenant under the
terms of this Lease include the Tenant HVAC System and Tenant's operation
thereof.
7. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all
taxes levied or assessed during the Lease Term upon Tenant's equipment,
furniture, inventory, and any other personal property located in the Leased
Premises. If any or all of Tenant's equipment, furniture, inventory and other
personal property are assessed and taxed with the real property, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to
Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such
taxes applicable to Tenant's property.
8. LICENSES, FEES AND TAXES.
Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay throughout the Lease Term, all
license and excise fees and occupation taxes covering the business conducted on
the Leased Premises. If any governmental authority under any present or future
law effective at any time during the Lease Term hereof shall in any manner levy
a tax on rents payable under this Lease or rents accruing from use of the Leased
Premises or a tax in any form against Landlord because of or measured by income
derived from the leasing or rental of such property, such tax shall be paid by
Tenant, either directly or through Landlord, and upon any default by Tenant
hereunder, Landlord shall have the same remedies as for failure to pay rent. It
is understood and agreed, however, that Tenant shall not be liable to pay any
net income tax or inheritance tax imposed on Landlord.
9. IMPROVEMENTS, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
9.1 PREMISES IMPROVEMENTS.
Prior to the Commencement Date, the Leased Premises are to be improved by
Landlord (the "Premises Improvements") in accordance with the Improvement
Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the "Improvement Agreement"). Prior to
delivering possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant, the Project Architect
shall certify that the Premises Improvements are substantially complete as
defined and provided for in the Improvement Agreement. Pursuant to the
Improvement Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Landlord reserves the right to modify the final design of the Building as may be
necessary to comply with any governmental rule, regulation or order or, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.1 above and Section 2.3 above, otherwise as may
be considered necessary or appropriate by Landlord, provided the modifications
do not materially and adversely change the size or configuration of the Building
or have a material adverse impact on Tenant's proposed use of the Leased
Premises. Also pursuant to the Improvement Agreement and notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Landlord reserves the right to modify the final
design of the Leased Premises as may be necessary to comply with any
governmental rule, regulation or order or otherwise as may be considered
necessary or appropriate by Landlord, provided the modifications do not
materially and adversely change the location of the Leased Premises from that
shown on EXHIBIT C, or materially and adversely change the size or configuration
of the Leased Premises or have a material and adverse impact on Tenant's
proposed use of the Leased Premises. The existence of repairs or defects of a
nature commonly found on a
"punchlist," as such term is used in the construction industry, after turnover
to Tenant, shall not postpone the Commencement Date or result in a delay or
abatement of Tenant's obligation to pay rent or give rise to a damage claim
against Landlord. Landlord represents that when completed the Premises
Improvements will be in good condition and repair; provided, however, Tenant's
occupancy of the Leased Premises shall be deemed an acknowledgement that the
Leased Premises are in good condition and repair and that Landlord has caused
the Building and all of the Premises Improvements to be constructed as required
by this Lease, subject to those items, if any, specified in any punch list to be
delivered to Tenant pursuant to the Improvement Agreement. All improvements and
fixtures made or installed in or to the Leased Premises, including all Premises
Improvements, are the property of Landlord. If any lender holding a security
interest in the Office Condominium should foreclose or receive a deed in lieu of
foreclosure prior to completion of the Premises Improvements, then
notwithstanding anything in this Lease or any other agreement to the contrary
the person acquiring the Office Condominium at the foreclosure sale or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure shall have no obligation to construct, install or pay for
any improvements whatsoever, including without limitation the Building and
Premises Improvements.
9.2 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (b) below, after completion
of the Premises Improvements, Tenant shall not make any subsequent alterations,
additions or improvements in, on or to the Leased Premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, but which may be subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may
deem appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Tenant shall
submit complete sets of final plans and specifications for all such alterations,
additions or improvements to Landlord for approval. Any such alterations,
additions or improvements consented to by Landlord shall be made at Tenant's
sole cost and expense. Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to the commencement of
any such work of the contractors Tenant desires to perform the work. Landlord
shall have the right to approve or disapprove in advance all contractors to be
retained by Tenant for such work. Upon completion of such work, Landlord shall
promptly be provided with complete "as built" drawings and specifications for
all alterations and additions made by Tenant. Tenant shall secure any and all
governmental permits, approvals or authorizations required in connection with
any such work. All alterations, additions and improvements (expressly including
without limitation all light fixtures and floor coverings but expressly
excluding any inventory, furniture and other personal property which does not
become a part of the Leased Premises) unless disclaimed by Landlord shall
immediately become the property of Landlord without any obligation to pay
therefor. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof, Tenant
shall, upon written demand by Landlord and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
forthwith remove any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant
designated by Landlord to be removed, and Tenant shall forthwith at its sole
cost and expense repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by such
removal. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or any
earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) As long as Tenant provides at least ten (10) days' prior notice
thereof, Landlord's consent shall not be required for the following alterations,
additions or improvements to the Leased Premises: (a) alterations, additions or
improvements that cost no more than $200,000 in any consecutive twelve (12)
month period, that do not involve or affect any of the structural elements or
building systems of the Leased Premises of Building, are not visible from the
exterior of the Leased Premises of any of the Common Areas, do not interfere
with the operation of the Building or the provision of services or utilities to
other tenants in the Building and are otherwise appropriate for a first class
office building and provided Tenant agrees to remove the alterations, additions
or improvements at the end of the Lease Term if so requested by Landlord and (b)
alterations, addition or improvements made as part of Floors 4, 5 and 6,
provided such alterations, additions or improvements do not involve or affect
any of the structural elements or building systems of the Leased Premises or
Building, are not visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises of any of the
Common Areas, do not interfere with the operation of the Building or the
provision of services or utilities to other tenants in the Building and provided
Tenant agrees to remove such alterations, additions or improvements at the end
of the Lease Term if so requested by Landlord.
9.3 DISABILITY LAWS.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant
constructs, makes or installs or causes to be constructed, made or installed any
improvement or alteration in or to the Leased Premises (including, but not
limited to, Tenant's work on the Premises Improvements), Tenant shall be solely
responsible for ensuring that such improvements and/or alterations do not
violate any provision in any local, state or federal law or regulation relating
to accessibility for handicapped persons or the removal of architectural or
communication barriers to accessibility ("Disability Law"), including but not
limited to RCW Chapter 70.92 and The Americans with Disabilities Act. Any
approval by Landlord of Tenant's plans or specifications for any such
improvements or alterations shall not be a representation or warranty, express
or implied, by Landlord that such plans will comply with any Disability Law. If
any claim is asserted against Landlord under any Disability Law which claim
relates directly or indirectly to any alterations or improvements installed,
made or constructed, directly or indirectly, by or for Tenant in or to the
Leased Premises or any trade fixture or personal property item used by Tenant in
the Leased Premises, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against the claim and any and all charges, liabilities, obligations,
penalties, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising or incurred against or suffered, directly or
indirectly, by Landlord relating thereto. If it should be determined that any
improvement or alteration constructed, made or installed in or to the Leased
Premises, directly or indirectly, by or for Tenant or any trade fixture or
personal property item used by Tenant in the Leased Premises is an illegal
architectural or communication barrier under any Disability Law, Tenant shall
immediately, at its sole cost and expense, remove the barrier or, to the extent
allowed by the Disability Law, provide alternatives to the barrier so as to make
the Leased Premises accessible to handicapped persons. No alteration or
improvement in the Leased Premises will be approved by Landlord if it will
require that barriers outside the Leased Premises be
removed under any Disability Law. Tenant shall not have any basis for objecting
to Landlord's judgment regarding the probable application of any Disability Law
provided Landlord does not act arbitrarily.
10. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
10.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY TENANT.
All repairs to the Leased Premises or to any of the improvements,
installations or facilities therein or otherwise related to the Leased Premises,
other than those repairs required to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section
10.3 below or Section 18 below, shall be made by Tenant at its sole cost and
expense. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing all damage
done to the Building, the Premises or the Common Areas occasioned by any act or
omission of Tenant or Tenant's officers, contractors, agents, invitees,
licensees or employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant
shall at all times throughout the Lease Term, at its sole cost and expense, keep
the Leased Premises (including the exterior doors and entrances, all windows and
moldings and trim of all doors and windows), all partitions, door surfaces,
fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereof (including lighting, heating and
plumbing fixtures and systems serving the Leased Premises) and any special
equipment installed in the Leased Premises specifically for Tenant, including
without limitation any telecommunication equipment, security equipment, computer
equipment, kitchen equipment in good order, condition and repair, damage by
unavoidable casualty excepted (but not excluding damage from burglary or
attempted burglary of the Leased Premises). Also without limiting the
generalities of the foregoing, Tenant shall: (i) keep the glass of all windows,
doors, and showcases clean and presentable; (ii) replace immediately all broken
glass in the Leased Premises; (iii) make any necessary repairs to, or
replacements of, all door closure apparatuses and mechanisms; (iv) keep all
plumbing within the walls of the Leased Premises or otherwise serving the Leased
Premises clean and in a good state of repair including pipes, drains, toilets,
and basins; and (v) keep all utilities within or otherwise exclusively serving
the Leased Premises in a good state of repair. Any and all damage to the Leased
Premises (including but not limited to the Premises Improvements), the Building
or Project caused by Tenant, or by any employee, agent, contractor, assignee,
subtenant or invitee of Tenant shall be promptly reported to Landlord.
10.2 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OR REPAIR.
If, after fifteen (15) days' prior written notice (except in emergencies
or cases of urgent necessity (when such repairs shall be commenced immediately),
and such longer time as is reasonably required to adequately remedy the problem
provided the remedy has begun and Tenant is diligently prosecuting the same to
completion), Tenant fails to keep and preserve the Leased Premises as set forth
in Section 10.1 above, Landlord may, at its option, put or cause the same to be
put in the appropriate condition and state of repair, and in such case, upon
receipt of written statements from Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay the
entire cost thereof as additional rent. Landlord shall have the right to enter
and inspect the Leased
Premises and may enter for the purpose of making such repairs upon the failure
of Tenant to do so.
10.3 REPAIRS BY LANDLORD.
Landlord shall keep the roof, exterior walls, exterior building windows,
public corridors, equipment used in common with other tenants (such as
elevators, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning and similar equipment) and the
structural components of the Building in a good state of repair, and shall
accomplish such repairs as may be needed within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of written notice from Tenant (except in emergencies or cases of urgent
necessity (when such repairs shall be commenced immediately) and such longer
time as is reasonably required to adequately remedy the problem provided the
remedy has begun and Landlord is diligently prosecuting the same to completion).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no
obligation to repair any latent defects (i) capable of detection in the ordinary
course of Tenant's business and first detected more than one (1) year after the
Commencement Date or (ii) that have no material adverse effect on Tenant's
ability to conduct business in or gain access to the Premises. Nothing herein
shall diminish Tenant's obligation to maintain and repair any special equipment
installed in the Leased Premises or Building specifically for Tenant, including
without limitation any telecommunication equipment, security equipment, computer
equipment, kitchen equipment, any Tenant HVAC System or any Tenant Generator. If
repairs are required by reason of Tenant's acts or negligent failure to act,
Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, for the cost thereof.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 15 or 18 below, there
shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any
injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any
repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Leased Premises
or building of which the Leased Premises are a part, or in or to fixtures,
appurtenances and equipment therein. In no event shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any damage to the Leased Premises or for any loss, damage or injury
to any property therein or thereon resulting from acts by other third parties or
occasioned by fire; explosion; falling plaster; the breaking, bursting, stoppage
or leaking of water, gas, sewer, electrical cables, wires or steam pipes; or
from water, rain, or other substances leaking or coming from the roof, street,
subsurface or from any other place or from dampness or from any similar risks or
causes. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any person or
property sustained by Tenant or any other persons, which may be caused by theft,
or by any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Project, or of any
other third parties.
10.4 HVAC MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY LANDLORD.
Landlord shall provide periodic maintenance, service, and repair for HVAC
systems serving the Leased Premises (excluding any Tenant HVAC System) and
Common Areas and Facilities of the Building. This shall include periodic filter
changes; refrigerant refills; routine inspections; replacement or repair of
belts, bearings, compressor and fan motors, dryer units, sight glasses, ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
cooling systems, condenser and evaporator coils,
thermostats, and relay connections. The cost of such maintenance, service and
repairs shall be included in the Other Charges described in Section 4.2 above.
10.5 NON-COMPLIANCE.
If any portion of the Leased Premises is in violation of any laws
pertaining to the construction of the Building or Leased Premises, and such
violation is not a result of Tenant's use , then to the extent such violation
materially and adversely interferes with Tenant's ability to conduct its
business in the Leased Premises or subjects Tenant to any fine or penalty under
any building code, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days following written
notice thereof from Tenant (except in emergencies or cases of urgent necessity,
and such longer time as is reasonably required to adequately remedy the problem
provided the remedy has begun and Landlord is diligently prosecuting the same to
completion), correct such condition with reasonable diligence. To the extent
such violation existed prior to the Commencement Date, no portion of such cost
shall be charged back to Tenant as an Operating Cost. To the extent such
violation comes into being as a result of laws promulgated subsequent to the
Commencement Date, the cost of correcting the violation shall be deemed to be an
Operating Cost.
11. LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES.
No work performed by, through, under or for Tenant pursuant to this Lease
shall be deemed to be for the immediate use or benefit of Landlord to the end
that no mechanic's or other liens shall be allowed against the estate of
Landlord by reason of any consent given by Landlord to Tenant to improve or
alter the Leased Premises. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises, the Building
and the Real Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances arising out
of any work performed for, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on
behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all
costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising
therefrom. Prior to commencing any work on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord, at Tenant's sole expense, separate payment and performance
bonds in an amount equal to either (i) the actual contract price or (ii) one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of any improvements, additions, or
alterations which Tenant desires to make within the Leased Premises. Such bonds
shall cover the faithful performance of the contract and payment of all
obligations arising therefrom and insure Landlord against any liability for
mechanics', materialmen's, or other construction liens and the completion of any
such work. If any lien is filed against the Leased Premises, the Building or the
Real Property by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall immediately discharge the same or furnish
to Landlord a bond in form and amount and issued by a surety satisfactory to
Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against all liability, costs and expenses,
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, which Landlord may
incur, directly or indirectly, as a result thereof and Landlord's reasonable
administrative costs and expenses. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien
forthwith to be discharged of record or bonded, then, in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or discharge the same by paying
the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord, including
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in defending against such lien
or in procuring its discharge of record, shall be due and payable by Tenant as
additional rent.
12. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASING AND OTHER TRANSFERS.
12.1 TRANSFERS GENERALLY.
Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber
or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest therein, nor sublease the whole
or any part of the Leased Premises, nor shall this Lease or any interest
hereunder be assignable or transferable by any process or proceeding of any
court, or otherwise (each of the foregoing being a "Transfer"), without in each
case first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any such Transfer or
transaction undertaken without Landlord's prior written consent shall be null
and void. In determining whether to grant consent to a proposed Transfer,
Landlord may reasonably consider any relevant factor, including but not limited
to the experience and business reputation of the proposed assignee, sublessee,
or transferee in operating its business; whether the use of the Leased Premises
following the Transfer is similar to that of Tenant, or otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and appropriate for a first-class high rise office
building in the Bellevue Central Business District; whether the other party to
the proposed Transfer is a person with whom Landlord is presently negotiating
for a lease of space in the Building or in any other building owned by an
Affiliate of Landlord; whether the other party to the proposed Transfer is a
governmental agency or any party by whom any suit or action could be defended on
the ground of sovereign immunity; notwithstanding that Tenant and/or others
remain liable under the Lease, whether the proposed assignee, sublessee, or
transferee has a net worth, and financial strength and credit record,
satisfactory to Landlord (provided that if the financial condition of the
proposed assignee, sublessee, or transferee is at least equal to the net worth
of Tenant or Guarantor (whichever is greater) at the time of this Lease it shall
be satisfactory to Landlord); whether use of the Leased Premises by the proposed
assignee, sublessee, or transferee will not violate or create any potential
violation of any laws; whether the type and quality of the business to be
operated or likely to be operated by the proposed assignee, sublessee, or
transferee is consistent with the image of a first-class office building and
whether it would be considered inappropriate for such an office building
(provided that Tenant's use is deemed to be an appropriate use and business);
and whether Landlord's consent might result in a breach of any other lease or
agreement to which Landlord is a party. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant or
Guarantor of any liability under this Lease or Guarantee of Lease. A Transfer
includes, without limitation (and the following shall be deemed to be deemed a
"Transfer"): (i) a consolidation or merger of Tenant; (ii) a change in the
ownership or voting rights of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the issued
and outstanding stock of any corporate tenant; (iii) any sublease, assignment or
transfer which would otherwise occur by operation of law, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, transfer or other significant change in corporate or proprietary
structure; (iv) the sale, assignment or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of Tenant, with or without the specific assignment of this Lease; and
(v) a change in control in any partnership tenant; provided, however, the
foregoing shall not be considered Transfers requiring
Landlord's consent so long as Tenant or Guarantor is an entity whose outstanding
stock is listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least 80% of the
voting stock of Tenant or Guarantor is owned by another entity, the voting stock
of which is so listed. The acceptance by Landlord of any amounts following any
transaction prohibited hereunder shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord
nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord
hereunder. Consent to any such Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the
necessity for consent to any subsequent Transfer. If Landlord's consent is
requested for a Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease
with respect to that portion of the Leased Premises for which such consent is
requested, at the proposed effective date of such assignment, sublease or
transfer, and enter into the relationship of Landlord and Tenant with the
proposed assignee, subtenant, or transferee based on the rent (and/or other
compensation) and term agreed to by such assignee, subtenant or transferee and
otherwise upon the terms and conditions of this Lease. In connection with any
proposed Transfer, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with fully executed
copies of all documents and instruments related to the proposed Transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's prior consent to a Transfer to
an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. shall not be required provided: (i) the
Transfer shall only be effective as long as the Affiliate receiving the Transfer
is and at all times during the Lease Term remains an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
Inc.; (ii) neither Tenant nor Guarantor is released or relieved of any liability
or obligations under this Lease or the Guarantee of Lease, or both, and each
expressly reaffirms the foregoing to Landlord in writing; (iii) Tenant is not in
default under or in breach of this Lease; and (iv) Tenant notified Landlord in
writing of the Transfer to an Affiliate at least ten (10) days prior to the
Transfer.
12.2 ASSIGNEE OBLIGATIONS.
As a condition to Landlord's consent, any potential assignee or transferee
otherwise approved by Landlord shall expressly assume all existing and future
obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable
with Tenant for the payment of Base Rent, Other Charges, additional rent, and
the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
12.3 SUBLESSEE OBLIGATIONS.
As a condition to Landlord's consent, any potential sublessee otherwise
approved by Landlord shall expressly assume all existing and future obligations
of Tenant under the Lease during the term of the sublease and shall be jointly
and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of Base Rent, Other Charges,
additional rent, and the performance of all terms, covenants, and conditions of
this Lease.
12.4 CONDITIONAL CONSENTS.
Any consent by Landlord to any Transfer may be subject to any terms or
conditions as Landlord shall determine appropriate (including but not limited to
requiring that any and all guarantors of the Lease agree to continue to
guarantee the Lease obligations after the
assignment) and all such terms and conditions shall be binding upon any person
holding by, under or through Tenant.
12.5 ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS.
Tenant and any assignee, sublessee or transferee shall reimburse Landlord
for Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in conjunction with
the processing and documentation of any such requested Transfer.
12.6 NO DAMAGES.
Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a
claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer,
and Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision
through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in
violation of this Section 12 shall, at Landlord's option, be void. Consent by
Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's
rights to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any Transfer or
Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this
Lease.
12.7 EXCESS RENT.
Tenant shall pay Landlord all rent and other consideration which Tenant
receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to
Landlord for the portion of the Leased Premises and Term covered by the
Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord such amounts within 30 days after Tenant's
receipt of such excess consideration. Tenant may deduct from the excess all
reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to
the Transfer (other than Landlord's attorneys' fee and costs), including
brokerage fees, legal fees and construction costs.
12.8 TENANT'S VENDORS.
Tenant may, from time to time, provide working areas within the Leased
Premises to vendors providing services exclusively to Tenant consistent with the
way in which such vendors currently provide such services to Tenant, without
Landlord's prior consent.
13. COMMON AREAS AND FACILITIES.
13.1 GENERALLY.
The term "Common Areas and Facilities" refers to all on- and off-site
areas and related facilities which are made available or used from time to time
for the general use, convenience and benefit of Landlord and other persons
entitled to occupy space in the Building, including their employees, invitees,
licensees and guests, which areas shall include, but not be limited to, the
"Building Common Areas" and the "Project
Common Areas." The term "Building Common Areas" refers to all entrances,
lobbies, elevators, stairs, corridors, restrooms and other public areas of the
Building designated by Landlord. The term "Project Common Areas" refers to those
areas of the Project made available for the general use, convenience and benefit
of Project tenants, occupants and residents, their respective licensees,
invitees, customers and employees, pursuant to the Project Documents and any
other persons authorized to use them. The Project Common Areas shall include,
without limitation, but subject to, and to the extent designated by the Project
Documents, exterior sidewalks, landscape and plaza areas, service entrances,
truck ramps, refuse collection and recycling areas, loading and delivery areas,
exterior pedestrian walkways, emergency exit corridors, exterior stairs, and
similar areas. The term "Common Areas and Facilities" also refers to all on- and
off-site areas and related facilities which may not be accessible to Tenant and
other persons entitled to occupy space in the Building, but which are used in
conjunction with the operation, management, repair or maintenance of the
Building including, but not limited to, janitorial closets, and on-site and
off-site management offices and maintenance areas.
13.2 CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS BY LANDLORD.
Landlord or its affiliates shall at all times have the exclusive control
and management of the Common Areas and Facilities. Landlord or its affiliates
shall keep or cause to be kept the Common Areas and Facilities in a neat, clean,
and orderly condition, properly lighted and landscaped, and shall repair any
damage thereto. With respect to the Common Areas and Facilities, Landlord shall
have the right from time to time to, without limitation, employ personnel;
establish, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations governing the use
thereof; construct, maintain and operate lighting facilities; police the Common
Areas and Facilities; change the number, area, level, location and arrangement
of parking structures and other areas and facilities; restrict parking by
Tenant, Tenant's officers, agents, licensees, and employees to employee parking
areas, if any; restrict parking by Tenant or Tenant's contractors,
subcontractors and suppliers; enforce parking charges (by operation of meters or
otherwise); close all or any portion of the Common Areas and Facilities to such
extent as may, in the opinion of Landlord's counsel, be appropriate to prevent a
dedication thereof or the accrual of any interest therein by any person or the
public; close temporarily all or any portion of the parking areas or facilities;
discourage non-customer parking; permit portions of the Common Areas and
Facilities to be used exclusively by specified occupants of the Building; place
or permit customer service and information booths, kiosks, stalls, push carts
and other merchandising facilities in the Common Areas and Facilities; and to do
and perform such other acts in and to the Common Areas and Facilities of the
Building as, in the use of reasonable business judgment, Landlord shall
determine to be advisable with a view to the improvement of the convenience and
use thereof by tenants of the Building, their employees, invitees and customers.
13.3 LICENSE.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Common Areas and
Facilities which Tenant may be permitted to use and occupy shall be used and
occupied under a revocable license. If the amount of such areas or facilities is
diminished, such diminution shall not be deemed a constructive or actual
eviction of Tenant and Landlord shall not be
subject to any liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or
diminution or abatement of rent.
13.4 RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Tenant shall comply and cause Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and
licensees to comply with the reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and
regulations that Landlord may from time to time promulgate and/or modify
regarding use and operation of the Common Areas and Facilities and the Leased
Premises. A copy of the rules and regulations in effect as of the date of this
Lease is attached hereto as EXHIBIT H. The parties recognize and acknowledge
that, as circumstances and conditions at the Building or the Project change over
time during the Lease Term, Landlord may determine, in its sole and complete
discretion, that it is necessary or appropriate to modify the rules and
regulations, provided such amendment does not materially interfere with Tenant's
Permitted Use of the Leased Premises. Accordingly, the rules and regulations may
be modified by Landlord from time to time hereafter and, when so modified, shall
become binding upon the parties hereto without further amendment of this Lease,
upon delivery of a copy thereof to Tenant. Landlord agrees not to adopt or amend
rules or regulations that are contrary to this Lease and do not also apply any
other tenants in the Building who may be similarly situated, if any. Landlord
shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of such rules and
regulations by any other tenants or occupants of space in the Building or the
Project.
13.5 TENANT PERSONNEL PARKING.
Landlord shall offer, or cause its Affiliates to offer, to Tenant the
right to purchase at least four hundred (400) non-assignable permits ("Parking
Permits") that will permit Tenant's employees to park their personal vehicles in
unassigned spaces in either the parking garage included as part of the Project
(the "Lincoln Square Garage") or in the parking garage serving Bellevue Place
(the "Bellevue Place Garage"). The Parking Permits shall be allocated two to one
between the Lincoln Square Garage and the Bellevue Place Garage respectively.
For the first five (5) Lease Years of the Lease Term, the Parking Permits may be
purchased by Tenant for a monthly fee of One Hundred Twenty-five Dollars
($125.00), inclusive of all applicable taxes, for Parking Permits in the Lincoln
Square Garage and a monthly fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), inclusive of
all applicable taxes, for Parking Permits in the Bellevue Place Garage. After
the fifth (5th) Lease Year, the cost of the Parking Permits will be the then
prevailing rate for such permits as charged by the garage operator(s) for the
Lincoln Square and Bellevue Place Garages. Landlord will have the right to make
reasonable allocations of Parking Permits as between the Lincoln Square Garage
and the Bellevue Place Garage. Landlord at all times shall have the right to
designate the particular parking areas in the Lincoln Square Garage and the
Bellevue Place Garage to be used by Tenant's employees, contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers, and agents of Tenant (collectively, "Tenant's
Personnel") and any such designation may be changed from time to time. Tenant's
Personnel shall park their cars only in those portions of the Lincoln Square
Garage and the Bellevue Place Garage designated for that purpose by Landlord. It
is understood and agreed that Landlord does not assume any responsibility
whatsoever for any damage or loss to any
vehicles parked in either the Lincoln Square or Bellevue Place Garages or to an
personal property located therein, or for any injury sustained by any person in
or about the Lincoln Square and Bellevue Place Garages. Other than with respect
to the Parking Permits and the employees of Tenant holding Parking Permits,
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to provide parking areas
for Tenant's Personnel and further acknowledges that Tenant's Personnel may be
required to park off-site. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with its and its
employees' state vehicle license plate numbers within fifteen (15) days after
the Commencement Date, and Tenant shall thereafter notify Landlord of any
additions to or changes in such license numbers within five (5) days after such
addition or change occurs. All amounts due under the provisions of this Section
shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Tenant
shall notify all of Tenant's Personnel in writing of the provisions of this
Section.
13.6 ROOFTOP DISHES.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the non-exclusive right
(it being understood that Landlord may grant, extend or renew similar rights to
others) to install, maintain, and from time to time replace up to three (3)
satellite dishes of less than 1 meter in diameter (each, a "Dish") on the roof
of the Building, provided that prior to commencing any installation or
maintenance, Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior approval of the proposed plans
and specifications for each Dish and any related cabling including, without
limitation, the size, weight and location of each Dish and method for fastening
the Dish to the roof, which approval may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable
discretion. Tenant's installation and/or replacement of each Dish shall comply
strictly with all governmental laws, rules and regulations and the conditions of
any bond or warranty maintained by Landlord on the roof. Tenant's use of the
Dishes shall be solely for its internal use, and Tenant shall not grant any
right to use of the Dish to any other party (including, without limitation, any
subtenant or assignee). Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall obtain
any necessary federal, state, and municipal permits, licenses and approvals, and
deliver copies thereof to Landlord. Landlord may supervise or perform any roof
penetration related to the installation of a Dish, and Landlord may charge the
cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant agrees that all installation, construction and
maintenance shall be performed in a neat, responsible, and workmanlike manner,
using generally acceptable construction standards, consistent with such
reasonable requirements as shall be imposed by Landlord. Tenant further agrees
to label each cable or wire placed by Tenant in the telecommunications pathways
of the Building, with identification information as required by Landlord. Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Building caused by Tenant's installation,
maintenance, replacement, use or removal of a Dish. Each Dish shall remain the
property of Tenant, and Tenant may remove all Dishes at its cost at any time
during the Lease Term. Tenant shall remove each Dish and any associated cabling
at Tenant's cost and expense upon the expiration or termination of this Lease
and restore the roof to the condition it was in prior to the installation.
Tenant agrees that the Dishes, and any wires, cables or connections relating
thereto, and the installation, maintenance and operation thereof shall in no way
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Building, or the operation of
communications (including, without limitation, other satellite dishes) or
computer devices by Landlord or by other tenants or occupants of the
Building or Project. If such interference shall occur, Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice thereof and Tenant shall correct the same within
twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of such notice. Landlord makes no warranty or
representation that the Building or any portions thereof are suitable for the
use of a Dish, it being assumed that Tenant has or will satisfied itself
thereof. Tenant's rights hereunder shall be exercised, if at all, during the
initial five year Lease Term. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord from and against claims, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses of every kind and nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising out of Tenant's installation,
maintenance, replacement, use or removal of the Dishes.
14. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE.
14.1 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Generally. Landlord shall not be liable for the loss of or
damage to any property (including property of Tenant and others) occurring in or
about the Leased Premises from any cause whatsoever. Landlord shall not be
liable for injury to any person occurring in or about the Leased Premises, the
Building or the Project except and to the extent that such injury is caused by
Landlord's negligence. Except to the extent an injury to any person is caused by
Landlord's negligence, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any and all claims, charges, liabilities, obligations,
penalties, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising, claimed, charged or incurred against or suffered, directly or
indirectly, by Landlord from any matter or thing arising from Tenant's use of
the Leased Premises or the Common Areas and Facilities, the conduct of its
business or from any activity, work or other things done or permitted by Tenant
in or about the Leased Premises or the Common Areas and Facilities, and Tenant
shall further defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any
and all claims arising, directly or indirectly, from any breach or default in
the performance of any obligation of or to be performed by Tenant under the
terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or omission of Tenant, or any
officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of Tenant, and from all costs,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and liabilities incurred in or about the defense of
any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. If any action or
proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of such a claim, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
(b) Concurrent Negligence of Landlord and Tenant Relating to
Construction, Repair and Maintenance Activities. Notwithstanding Section 14.1(a)
above, in the event of the concurrent negligence of Tenant, its agents,
employees, sublessees, invitees, licensees or contractors on the one hand, and
that of Landlord, its partners, agents, employees or contractors on the other
hand, which concurrent negligence results in injury or damage to persons or
property and relates to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to,
subtraction from, improvement to or maintenance of the Leased Premises , the
Building or the Project, Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord as set forth
in this Section 14.1 shall be limited to the extent of Tenant's negligence, and
that of its agents, employees, sublessees, invitees,
licensees or contractors, including Tenant's proportional share of costs, and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with any claim,
action or proceeding brought with respect to such injury or damage.
(c) Waiver of Workers' Compensation Immunity. The indemnification
obligations contained in this Lease shall not be limited by any workers'
compensation, benefits or disability laws, and Tenant hereby waives any immunity
that Tenant may have under the Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51 RCW and
similar workers' compensation, benefit or disability laws.
14.2 INSURANCE.
(a) Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense,
keep and maintain in full force and effect during the Lease Term a policy of
commercial general liability insurance insuring Tenant's activities with respect
to the Leased Premises and the Building against loss, damage or liability for
personal injury or death or loss or damage to property with a limit of not less
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit for policies without
a general aggregate limit. For such policies with a general aggregate limit,
such aggregate limit shall be not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
and include an endorsement providing that the foregoing limit shall apply per
location, including the Leased Premises, and have an occurrence limit not less
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). In the event Tenant obtains a policy with
a general aggregate limit, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord if claims
covered by such policy or policies at any time are made against Tenant, which
claims exceed fifty percent (50%) or more of the aggregate limit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Lease Term, in Landlord's
reasonable judgment, the policy limits required hereunder are no longer adequate
to provide reasonable protection to Landlord, Landlord may notify Tenant of such
inadequacy and an appropriate level of coverage and Tenant, within thirty (30)
days of receiving such a notice, shall obtain such additional amounts of
insurance and provide Landlord with satisfactory evidence thereof. Reference may
be made to policy amounts required by other landlords for similar space and
operations in determining what is reasonable protection hereunder. The insurance
required under this Section shall be with companies rated A-VII or better in
Best's Insurance Guide. The insurance policy shall contain a provision that such
policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary and noncontributing
with respect to any policies carried by Landlord, and that any coverage carried
by Landlord shall be excess insurance. Landlord, and any other parties in
interest designated by Landlord, shall be named as an additional insured. The
insurance policy shall contain a provision that the insurer will not cancel,
materially change or fail to renew the coverage provided by such policy without
first giving Landlord forty-five (45) days' prior written notice. Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord upon the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter
as requested by Landlord copies of all policies of such insurance or
certificates thereof showing Landlord as an additional insured and the
applicable policy limits thereof. In no event shall the limits of such policies
be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Service of Alcoholic Beverages. If Tenant serves, distributes or
sells any alcoholic beverages, the insurance to be carried by Tenant pursuant to
Section 14.2(a) above shall not exclude liability for violation of any
governmental statute, ordinance, regulation or rule pertaining to the sale,
gift, distribution or use of any alcoholic beverages, or liability by reason of
the selling, serving or giving of any alcoholic beverage to a minor or to a
person under the influence of alcohol or any other person, or which causes or
contributes to the intoxication of any persons. Accordingly, the indemnification
obligations in Section 14.1 of this Lease shall extend, as well, to damages
occurring at locations other than the Leased Premises and resulting from risks
insurable by any of the following (i) so-called dram shop liability insurance;
(ii) host liquor liability insurance; (iii) liquor legal liability insurance; or
(iv) insurance otherwise related to the sale, gift, distribution or use of
alcoholic beverages.
(c) Property Insurance. In addition to the insurance required by
Sections 14.2(a) and 14.2(b), Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, keep
and maintain in full force and effect during the Lease Term property insurance
covering Tenant's supplies, inventory and other personal property as well as all
improvements, additions and modifications to or in the Leased Premises, in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof. The
insurance policy shall bear an endorsement that the policy shall not be canceled
or the policy limits reduced below the coverage required by this Lease for any
reason other than non-payment of premiums, except upon forty-five (45) days'
prior written notice to Landlord and only after ten (10) days' prior written
notice to Landlord for non-payment of premiums. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
upon the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter as requested by
Landlord copies of all policies of such insurance or certificates thereof.
(d) Failure to Maintain. If Tenant fails or refuses to maintain any
insurance required by this Section 14, Landlord, at its discretion, may obtain
and maintain insurance for such items and interests to protect Landlord in such
amounts as Landlord may determine to be appropriate and any and all premiums
paid or payable by Landlord therefor shall be deemed to be additional rent and
shall be due on the payment date of the next installment of Rent hereunder. The
failure to obtain or maintain any insurance required by this Section 14 shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.
(e) Increase in Insurance Premium. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or
upon the Leased Premises any article, nor conduct any activities or operations,
which are or may be prohibited by Landlord's insurance carriers. Tenant shall
pay any increase in premiums for property or liability insurance maintained by
Landlord resulting from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises,
whether or not Landlord has consented thereto if according to Landlord's
insurance carrier the increase in the premium is attributable to the Tenant's
conduct. In the event of such increased insurance premiums to Landlord, Tenant
may communicate directly with Landlord's insurance carrier or broker concerning
the increase and attempt to get it reduced, and also shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to any additional premium on the insurance policy or policies that
Landlord may carry for its reasonable protection against loss resulting from any
insured event. In determining whether increased premiums are the result
of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, the rates and premiums
determined by the organization setting the insurance premiums shall be
conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the insurance
premiums. Landlord shall deliver bills for such additional amounts to Tenant at
such times as Landlord may elect, and Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord
therefor. The activities conducted by Tenant in its headquarters building in
Redmond, Washington, at the time this Lease is signed are not expected to cause
an increase in Landlord's insurance premiums for the Building ("Tenant's
Existing Activities"). Landlord's insurance broker has inspected Tenant's
operations at its Redmond headquarters building and reviewed such uses with the
insurance carriers and has had no indication that such use would result in a
higher than customary insurance premium for the Building. If Landlord receives
notice that Tenant's activities on the Leased Premises will substantially
increase Landlord's insurance premiums for the Building, Landlord shall notify
Tenant in writing of such impending increase and Tenant shall thereafter either
(i) cease such activities giving rise to such increase, or (ii) pay the
increased premiums resulting therefrom as additional rent. So long as Tenant
pays any increased premiums pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, inquire as to the reasons for the
increased premiums.
(f) Project and Building Related Insurance. The Association, as
defined in the Master Declaration, is obligated under the Master Declaration to
obtain and maintain the insurance coverages described in Section 5 of the Master
Declaration. Upon Tenant's request at reasonable intervals, Landlord shall
direct the Association to make available to Tenant a schedule of the
Association's insurance, listing the policy numbers of the insurance obtained,
the names of the companies issuing such policies, the names of the Persons
insured, the amounts of coverage, the expiration date or dates of such policies
and the risks covered thereby.
14.3 MUTUAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually release each other from liability, and
waive all right of recovery against each other, for any injury, loss or damage
to any building, structure, inventory or other tangible property and any
revenues, profit and rents to be generated therefrom, whether due to negligence
or any other insured cause, if such injury, loss or damage is caused by any of
the perils which are covered by a first-party insurance policy benefiting the
party suffering such injury, loss or damage, or if such injury, loss or damage
was required to be covered by insurance pursuant to this Lease; provided, that
this Section 14.3 shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to
the extent it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of
Landlord or Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that their current insurance
policies, as of the date of this Lease, will not be invalidated. In the future,
if avoiding any invalidation can be effected by the payment of money to such
insurer, the other party may elect to pay such amount to obtain such waiver of
subrogation for its benefit. Landlord and Tenant, respectively, shall promptly
notify the other if its insurance will be invalidated by the foregoing release
and waiver or if any payment is required to avoid such invalidation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section shall not apply to any
claim by Landlord for any Base Rent, Other Charges and
additional rent payable under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant specifically
intend, however, that this Section shall apply to any potential claim that could
otherwise be made by Landlord for any rents to be paid by other occupants of the
Building or any claim that could potentially be made by Tenant for any lost
sales, profits or revenues that could have been generated from or operating
expenses related to the Leased Premises or elsewhere.
14.4 ACTS OF OTHERS.
Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to those
claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage which may be
occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of third parties or persons
occupying space adjoining the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises
or any other part of the Building or the Project. In addition, Landlord shall
not be responsible or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting to
Tenant, or those claiming by, through or under Tenant, or any of its property,
from fire; explosion; falling plaster; the breaking, bursting, stoppage or
leaking of water, gas, sewer, electrical cables, wires or steam pipes; or from
water, rain or other substances leaking or coming from the roof, street,
subsurface or from any other place or from dampness or from any similar risks or
causes. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any person or
property sustained by Tenant or any other persons, which may be caused by theft,
or by any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building or the
Project, or of any other third parties.
14.5 PROVISIONS SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED.
LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE BY THEIR EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE THAT EACH
OF THE INDEMNIFICATION, RELEASE AND WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14
(SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE RELATING TO WORKERS'
COMPENSATION BENEFITS AND LAWS) WAS SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED TO BY
LANDLORD AND TENANT.
15. EMINENT DOMAIN.
15.1 TOTAL TAKING.
If all the Leased Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the Leased Premises and
all Base Rent, additional rent and Other Charges due hereunder shall be paid to
that date. The term "eminent domain" shall include the taking or damaging of
property by, through or under any governmental or quasi-governmental authority,
and any purchase or acquisition in lieu thereof, whether or not the damaging or
taking is by the government or any other person authorized to exercise the power
of eminent domain.
15.2 PARTIAL TAKING.
If more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Rentable Square Feet in the
Leased Premises is taken or appropriated by eminent domain, this Lease, at the
option of either party, may be terminated by written notice given to the other
party not more than thirty (30) days after Landlord and Tenant receive notice of
the taking or appropriation, and such termination shall be effective as of the
date Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Leased Premises so taken.
If more than ten percent (10%) of the parking areas or other common areas of the
Building are taken or appropriated by eminent domain, then Landlord, at its
option, may terminate this Lease by written notice given to Tenant within sixty
(60) days of the date of such taking. If this Lease is so terminated, all Base
Rent, additional rent, and Other Charges due hereunder shall be paid to the date
of termination. Whenever any portion of the Leased Premises or common areas is
taken by eminent domain and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, at its
expense, shall restore, to the extent reasonably prudent, the remainder of the
Leased Premises and common areas to their condition immediately prior to such
taking, and Tenant, at its sole expense, shall proceed with all reasonable
dispatch to restore its furniture, furnishings, floor covering, equipment and
alterations or improvements installed by Tenant to the same condition they were
in immediately prior to such taking. From the date Tenant is required to vacate
that portion of the Leased Premises taken, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall
be reduced in the same proportion that the Rentable Square Feet taken bears to
the total Rentable Square Feet in the Leased Premises prior to taking.
15.3 DAMAGES.
Landlord reserves all rights to the entire damage award or payment for any
taking by eminent domain, and Tenant shall make no claim whatsoever against
Landlord for damages for termination of its leasehold interest in the Leased
Premises or for interference with its business. Tenant hereby grants and assigns
to Landlord any right Tenant may now have or hereafter acquire to such damages
and agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment thereof
as Landlord may from time to time request. However, Tenant shall have the right
to claim from the condemning authority all compensation that may be recoverable
by Tenant on account of any loss incurred by Tenant in removing Tenant's
merchandise, furniture and equipment or for damage to Tenant's business;
provided, however, that Tenant may claim such damages only if they are awarded
separately in the eminent domain proceeding and not as part of Landlord's
damages.
16. TENANT'S DEFAULT.
16.1 DEFAULT.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a
default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant's failure to make any payment of
Base Rent, Other Charges, or any other payment required to be made by Tenant
hereunder, as and
when due. Tenant shall cure any default under this Section 16.1(b) within five
(5) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant.
(b) Failure to Perform. Tenant's failure to observe or perform any
of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Tenant (other than as described in Sections 16.1(a) and (b) above).
Tenant shall cure any default under this Section 16.1(c) within ten (10) days
(except as otherwise provided in this Lease) after written notice thereof by
Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is
such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Tenant shall commence such cure as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event
within said ten (10) day period, and thereafter Tenant shall diligently
prosecute such cure to completion.
(c) Creditor Assignment, Bankruptcy, Receivership. The making by
Tenant or a Guarantor, if any, of any general assignment or general arrangement
for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant or a Guarantor,
if any, of a petition to have Tenant or Guarantor adjudged a bankrupt, or a
petition or reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy
(unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or a Guarantor, the same
is dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing or later as required so long as
Tenant is performing all of its obligations under this Lease); or the
appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all
of Tenant's assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant's interest in
this Lease or of substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, where such
seizure is not discharged in sixty (60) days after appointment of such trustee
or receiver, or the filing of the petition for the appointment of the same,
whichever shall first occur.
(d) Repeated Defaults. Tenant's failure to perform or observe any of
Tenant's obligations under the Lease after Tenant has been notified by Landlord
on at least (2) prior occasions within the last twenty-four (24) month period
that Tenant has failed to perform or observe any of Tenant's obligations under
the Lease at least twice previously (despite the fact Tenant may have cured any
such previous failures after notice from Landlord and within the notice period).
16.2 REMEDIES IN DEFAULT.
In the event of any such default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any
time after any applicable cure period, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Landlord in the exercise of a right or remedy which Landlord
may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate the Lease. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of
the Leased Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall
terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Leased
Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from
Tenant all past due Base Rent, additional rent and Other Charges; the expenses
of reletting the Leased Premises, including necessary repair, renovation and
alteration of the Leased Premises; reasonable attorneys' fees; the worth at the
time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which
the unpaid Base Rent, additional rent and Other Charges called for herein for
the balance of the Lease Term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of
such loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided
(the "worth at the time of award" shall be determined by discounting such excess
amount by the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus
one percent (1%)); and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Landlord
and applicable to the unexpired Lease Term of this Lease; or,
(b) Continue the Lease. Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in
which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant has vacated
or abandoned the Leased Premises. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to
enforce all Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right
to recover the Base Rent, additional rent, Other Charges, damages from Tenant's
default or breach, and any other payments as they may become due hereunder, and
to specifically enforce Tenant's obligations hereunder and obtain injunctive
relief from further defaults and breaches; or,
(c) Other Remedies. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter
available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of
Washington.
16.3 LEGAL EXPENSES.
Tenant will pay on demand, as additional rent, the amount of all costs and
expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees
and other costs of review, prosecution or defense, and including the reasonable
allocated cost of any in-house counsel and other professionals) incurred by
Landlord in any investigation, prelitigation review, or proceeding relating in
any way to this Lease, including without limitation any such costs or expenses
incurred in connection with (a) collection of any amounts due under this Lease,
with or without commencement of a legal proceeding or action; (b) evaluation or
pursuit of claims of Landlord relating in any way to this Lease, with or without
commencement of a legal proceeding or action; (c) defense of any rights of
Landlord under or relating to this Lease, or challenges or claims of Tenant or
any other person to any of such rights, with or without commencement of a legal
proceeding or action; (d) Landlord's attempt to remove Tenant from the Premises,
with or without commencement of a legal proceeding or action; (e) any bankruptcy
case of Tenant or any other debtor (whether the general bankruptcy case or any
adversary proceeding or contested matter within such case) or other
nonbankruptcy legal action or proceeding in which Landlord's rights under this
Lease are in issue, directly or indirectly, whether specifically relating to
this Lease or as a general creditor therein; (f) any attempt to obtain relief
from stay or from other injunctive provisions in order to enforce Landlord's
rights under this Lease; (g) the actual or potential rejection or assumption of
the Lease in any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding; (h) the actual
or potential assignment of the Lease to any other person, whether or not through
a bankruptcy case or other proceeding; (i) any appeals commenced by any party
from any of the foregoing proceedings, contested matters or adversary
proceedings; and (j) settlement, amendment, restructuring, renegotiation, or
comparable activities relating to the parties' rights and obligations under the
Lease.
16.4 BANKRUPTCY.
(a) Assumption of Lease. If Tenant becomes a Debtor under Chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code ("Code") or a petition for reorganization or adjustment
of debts is filed concerning Tenant under Chapters 11 or 13 of the Code, or a
proceeding is filed under Chapter 7 of the Code and is transferred to Chapters
11 or 13 of the Code, the Trustee or Tenant, as Debtor and as
Debtor-In-Possession, may not elect to assume this Lease unless, at the time of
such assumption, the Trustee or Tenant has:
(1) Cured all defaults under the Lease and paid all sums due
and owing under the Lease or provided Landlord with "Adequate Assurance" (as
defined below) that (A) within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption,
the Trustee or Tenant will completely pay all sums due and owing under this
Lease and compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss resulting from any
existing default or breach of this Lease, including without limitation,
Landlord's reasonable costs, expenses, accrued interest, and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred as a result of the default or breach; (B) within twenty
(20) days from the date of such assumption, the Trustee or Tenant will cure all
non-monetary defaults and breaches under this Lease; and (C) the assumption will
be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.
(2) For purposes of this Section, Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that, in the context of a bankruptcy proceeding involving Tenant, at
a minimum, "Adequate Assurance" shall mean (A) the Trustee or Tenant has and
will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all
secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the
Trustee or Tenant will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease; (B) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an Order
segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or the Trustee or Tenant
shall have granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or
mortgage in property of Trustee or Tenant acceptable as to value and kind to
Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the Trustee or Tenant to cure
the monetary and/or non-monetary defaults and breaches under this Lease within
the time periods set forth above; and (C) the Trustee or Tenant, at the very
minimum, shall deposit a sum equal to two (2) months' Base Rent to be held by
Landlord (without any allowance for interest thereon) to secure Tenant's future
performance under the Lease.
(b) Assignment of Lease. If the Trustee or Tenant has assumed the
Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Section for the purpose of assigning
Tenant's interest hereunder to any other person or entity, such interest may be
assigned only after the Trustee, Tenant or the proposed assignee have complied
with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including,
without limitation, those with respect to Base Rent and Other Charges, and the
use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee shall be only as permitted
in Section 1.1 above; Landlord and Tenant acknowledging that such terms,
covenants and conditions are commercially reasonable in the context of a
bankruptcy proceeding of Tenant. Any person or entity to which this Lease is
assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Code shall be deemed without further
act or deed to have assumed all of the
obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment.
Any such assignee shall upon request execute and deliver to Landlord an
instrument confirming such assignment.
(c) Adequate Protection. Upon the filing of a petition by or against
Tenant under the Code, Tenant, as Debtor and as Debtor-In-Possession, and any
Trustee who may be appointed agree to adequately protect Landlord as follows:
(1) to perform each and every obligation of Tenant under this Lease until such
time as this Lease is either rejected or assumed by Order of the Bankruptcy
Court; (2) to pay all monetary obligations required under this Lease, including
without limitation, the payment of Base Rent, additional rent and Other Charges
payable hereunder, which is considered reasonable compensation for the use and
occupancy of the Leased Premises; (3) provide Landlord a minimum of thirty (30)
days' prior written notice, unless a shorter period is agreed to in writing by
the parties, of any proceeding relating to any assumption of this Lease or any
intent to abandon the Leased Premises, which abandonment shall be deemed a
rejection of this Lease; and (4) to perform to the benefit of Landlord otherwise
required under the Code. The failure of Tenant to comply with the above shall
result in an automatic rejection of this Lease.
16.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE - WAIVER.
Landlord's remedies hereunder are cumulative, and Landlord's exercise of
any right or remedy due to a default or breach by Tenant shall not be deemed a
waiver of, or to alter, affect or prejudice any right or remedy which Landlord
may have under this Lease or by law. Neither the acceptance of rent, nor any
other act or omission of Landlord at any time or times after the happening of
any event authorizing the termination or forfeiture of this Lease, shall operate
as a waiver of any past or future violation, breach or failure to keep or
perform any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or to deprive Landlord
of its right to terminate or forfeit this Lease, upon the written notice
provided for herein, at any time that cause for termination or forfeiture may
exist, or be construed so as at any time to stop Landlord from promptly
exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may have under any term or
provision of this Lease, at law or in equity.
17. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.
Landlord shall not be in breach or default under this Lease unless
Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable
time, but in no event shall such time be less than thirty (30) days after
written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed
of trust covering the Leased Premises whose name and address shall have
theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing. The notice shall specify
wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty
(30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in breach or
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. Tenant further agrees
not to invoke any of its remedies under this Lease until said thirty (30) days
have elapsed, except as otherwise provided herein. In no event shall Tenant have
the
right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord's breach or default, and
Tenant's remedies shall be limited to an award of monetary damages.
18. RECONSTRUCTION.
18.1 INSURED LOSS.
Subject to Section 18.2 below, if the Leased Premises are damaged by
perils covered by Landlord's insurance coverage and the proceeds therefrom are
sufficient to cover the cost of repairs and are made available to Landlord for
the purpose of repairing such damage, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the
same, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant
shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the Base Rent and Other
Charges from the date of damage and while such repairs are in progress, provided
said damage did not result from or was contributed to, directly or indirectly,
by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant. Such proportionate reduction shall be
based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs materially
interfere, if at all, with the business carried on by Tenant in the Leased
Premises. If such damage resulted from or was contributed to, directly or
indirectly, by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, the Base Rent and Other
Charges shall ▇▇▇▇▇ only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from
Landlord's rental income insurance policy to compensate Landlord for the loss of
such rent and income.
18.2 UNINSURED LOSS.
If the Leased Premises are damaged as a result of a cause other than a
peril covered by Landlord's insurance coverage, or Landlord's insurance carrier
has not determined whether insurance proceeds from Landlord's insurance will be
made available to Landlord for the purpose of repairing the Leased Premises
within ninety (90) days after such damage, then Landlord shall have the option
to (i) repair or restore such damage forthwith, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, but the Base Rent and Other Charges shall be
proportionately reduced as provided in Section 18.1 above; or (ii) at any time
within one hundred twenty (120) days after such damage give notice to Tenant of
the termination of this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which
date shall be no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. If
such notice is given, this Lease shall terminate and all interest of Tenant in
and to the Leased Premises shall end on the date so specified in such notice and
the Base Rent and Other Charges, reduced by a proportionate reduction, based
upon the extent, if any, to which such damage materially interfered with the
business carried on by Tenant in the Leased Premises, shall be paid up to date
of such termination. If Landlord does not terminate the Lease under this Section
18.2, then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to repair or restore such
damage, which Landlord will undertake with all reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding anything in Sections 18.1 and 18.2 of this Lease to the
contrary, if Landlord is required or elects to repair or restore the Leased
Premises pursuant to Section 18.1 or 18.2 of this Lease, and if such repairs or
restoration are not substantially completed within one (1) year of the date of
the damage or destruction, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
giving ninety (90) days' written notice thereof to Landlord;
provided, however, if Landlord notifies Tenant that such repairs will or are
likely to require more than one (1) year from the date of damage to
substantially complete, then Tenant shall make the election to terminate this
Lease within sixty (60) days of Landlord's notice. If Tenant does not elect to
terminate this Lease within sixty (60) days of Landlord's notice, then Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived and released its right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Section and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
subject to abatement of Rent as provided in Section 18.1 above and this Section
18.2.
18.3 NO OBLIGATION.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 18,
Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or
restore any portion of the Leased Premises when the damage resulting from any
casualty, insured or uninsured, occurs during the last twenty-four (24) calendar
months of the Lease Term, including any extension of the Lease Term if Tenant
has exercised its Extension Option under Section 3.5 above. During any portion
of the Lease Term, Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage
to or make any repairs or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures,
or personal property of Tenant.
18.4 PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF BUILDING.
If thirty percent (30%) or more of the leasable area of the Building is
damaged or destroyed, notwithstanding that the Leased Premises may be unaffected
by such fire or other cause, Landlord may terminate this Lease and the tenancy
hereby created by giving Tenant not less than thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease; provided, however, that
such notice shall be given, if at all, within the one hundred twenty (120) days
following the date of occurrence of such damage or destruction. Base Rent and
Other Charges shall be prorated as of the date of such termination.
18.5 BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.
No damages, compensation or claims shall be payable by Landlord for
inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Leased Premises or of the Building.
19. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT; LEASE ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS.
19.1 SUBORDINATION - NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE.
Provided the holder of any real estate security interest agrees to
recognize this Lease in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not in default at
such time (a "Non-disturbance Assurance"), this Lease shall be automatically
subordinate to all of Landlord's mortgages, deeds of trust, or ground leases
which heretofore and hereafter affect the Leased Premises, the Building or the
Real Property, to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the
interest on the obligations secured thereby, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations,
replacements or extensions thereof. Upon receiving a Non-disturbance Assurance,
this subordination shall be self operative, and no further instrument of
subordination shall be necessary to effect such subordination; nevertheless, at
the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver all
instruments which may be reasonably required by Landlord or Landlord's lender to
subordinate this Lease to any existing or future mortgages or deeds of trust on
the Building or on the leasehold interest held by Landlord, and to any
extensions, renewals, or replacements thereof; provided, that the mortgagee or
beneficiary, as the case may be, shall agree, in exchange for the agreement of
Tenant to attorn to such mortgagee or beneficiary, to provide a Non-disturbance
Assurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord
shall not be in default under any provision of this Lease unless written notice
specifying such default is given to Landlord and to all persons who have an
interest in all or part of the Building as mortgagees and/or deed of trust
beneficiaries, and the provisions of Section 17 have been fully complied with.
Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure or commence the
cure of such default within the time period allowed under Section 17 above, then
the mortgagees or deed of trust holder, as the case may be, shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or commence the cure of such
breach or default and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion
including, if necessary to effectuate such cure, commencement of judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings.
19.2 LEASE ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
Tenant shall at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after
written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or
its designee a written statement, which may be substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT E certifying, to the extent true, that (i) this Lease is in full force
and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any
way (or specifying the date and terms of all agreements affecting this Lease);
(ii) all conditions under this Lease to be performed by the Landlord have been
satisfied, if any; (iii) all required contributions by Landlord to Tenant on
account of the Premises Improvements have been received; (iv) as of the date of
such certification there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets which the
Tenant has against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord; (v) no Base
Rent or other rent obligation has been paid more than one month in advance; (vi)
no security has been deposited with Landlord (or, if so, the amount thereof);
and (vii) setting forth any other information required by Landlord's lenders. It
is intended that all statements delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be
relied upon by prospective purchasers of Landlord's interest, Landlord's lenders
and other designees of Landlord and Landlord's lenders. If Tenant fails to
respond within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of a written request by
Landlord as herein provided, such failure shall be a material default under the
terms and conditions of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be deemed to have
given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be
deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to
a prospective purchaser or mortgagee, that this Lease is in full force and
effect, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, that the
security deposit is as stated in the Lease, and that no more than one month's
Base Rent has been paid in advance.
19.3 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Tenant covenants and agrees that, at any time, within thirty (30) days
after notice and demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, and cause
Guarantor to furnish to Landlord, (i) financial statements as of the end of
Guarantor's last fiscal year certified by Guarantor's chief financial officer
and audited by an independent certified public accountant, who shall issue an
accountant's audit report in conjunction with such audit, and (ii) unaudited
quarterly financial statements for months after the most recent year end audited
statements, and Tenant consents, and shall ask Guarantor to consent, to the
delivery of same by Landlord to lenders or prospective lenders or purchasers or
investors in or of all or party of the Building or Project or of any interest in
the deed of trust encumbering the Building or Project. Landlord agrees to
instruct any person or persons to whom Landlord delivers such financial
statements that such statements, if not publicly available, are to be kept
confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that as long at
Tenant is a wholly owned subsidiary of Guarantor and Guarantor's financial
statements reflect the financial standing of Tenant, Tenant and Guarantor need
only provide the financial statements (as described above) of Guarantor. So long
as Tenant is a publicly traded company, in no event shall Tenant or Guarantor be
required to disclose any of the financial information described in this Section
19.3 which is not required to be disclosed as a publicly traded company.
20. ACCESS BY LANDLORD.
Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents, and contractors shall have the
right to enter the Leased Premises at any time to examine the same, and, in the
last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, to show the Leased Premises (other
than floors 4, 5, 6 and 11) to prospective purchasers or tenants of the
Building, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to
the Leased Premises and/or the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, Tenant may deny access
to any part of the Leased Premises to any of its competitors at any time if
providing such access to such portion of the Leased Premises may, in Tenant's
reasonable judgment, compromise the confidential nature of Tenant's business
operation. Other than in emergency situations or situations perceived to be an
emergency, Landlord shall advise Tenant (which may be verbal) at least 24 hours
in advance if Landlord requires access to the Leased Premises. If Tenant is not
personally present to permit entry and entry is necessary, Landlord may forcibly
enter the same without rendering Landlord liable therefor. Landlord agrees not
enter areas of the Leased Premises marked on EXHIBIT C as, or that Landlord and
Tenant have agreed in writing are, "confidential areas" without Landlord being
accompanied by a representative of Tenant, which Tenant agrees to make
available, provided the requirement to be accompanied by a representative of
Tenant does not and shall not prevent or hinder Landlord in the performance of
its obligations under this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
impose upon Landlord any duty of repair of the Leased Premises or building of
which the Leased Premises are a part except as otherwise specifically provided
in this Lease. This provision shall not have the effect of requiring notice
prior to Landlord's or Landlord's agent's entry for the performance of routine
and customary janitorial or maintenance services within the Leased Premises.
21. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES.
21.1 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.
Tenant shall promptly yield and deliver to Landlord possession of the
Leased Premises at the expiration or prior termination of this Lease.
Furnishings, trade fixtures and equipment, including but not limited to voice
and data cabling and other telecommunications equipment installed by Tenant,
shall be the property of Tenant. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove any such property. Tenant shall repair or reimburse Landlord for the cost
of repairing any damage to the Premises and/or Common Areas resulting from the
installation or removal of Tenant's property, and Tenant shall deliver the
Premises to Landlord in clean and good condition, except for reasonable wear and
tear.
21.2 REMOVAL OF PROPERTY.
At Landlord's request, Tenant shall remove all of its personal property
and (i) all improvements that are part of the Premises Improvements and are
identified in the Improvement Agreement as being removable fixtures or
improvements, (ii) all Exterior Signs, (iii) all improvements, fixtures and
equipment that comprise the Tenant Generator or Tenant HVAC System, and (iv) all
voice and data cabling and other telecommunications equipment installed by
Tenant at the termination of this Lease either by expiration of the term or
other cause, and shall pay Landlord for any damages or injury to the Leased
Premises or the Building resulting from such removal. If Tenant shall fail to
remove any property required to be removed by Tenant at the termination of this
Lease or when Landlord has the right of re-entry, Landlord may remove and store
such property without liability for loss thereof or damage thereto, such storage
to be for the account and at the expense of Tenant. If Tenant shall not pay the
cost of storing any such property after it has been stored for a period of
thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may, at its option, sell, or permit to be
sold, any or all such property at public or private sale, in such manner and at
such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem proper,
without notice to Tenant, unless notice is required under applicable statutes,
and shall apply the proceeds of such sale: first, to the cost and expense of
such sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred; second, to
the payment of the costs or charges for storing any such property; third, to the
payment of any other sums of money which may then be or thereafter become due to
Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms hereof; and, fourth, the balance, if
any, to Tenant.
21.3 VOLUNTARY SURRENDER.
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
termination thereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at the option of
Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as
an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
21.4 SURVIVAL.
Tenant's obligations under this Section 21 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.
22. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Commencing on the Commencement Date, and upon fully complying with and
promptly performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to
be performed on its part and upon the prompt and timely payment of all sums due
hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment and possession of the
Leased Premises for the Lease Term set forth herein, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Lease.
23. AUTHORITY OF PARTIES.
Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that each is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease, and that this Lease is binding upon it in
accordance with its terms.
24. SIGNS/BUILDING NAME.
24.1 INTERIOR SIGNS.
Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed on the exterior walls or
windows of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in the Building, any sign without
obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed elsewhere
in the Project, or Common Areas and Facilities any sign without obtaining
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's
sole discretion. The appearance of the Building, the Project and Common Areas
and Facilities and form and content of communication to customers and others at
the Building, the Project and Common Areas and Facilities being of concern both
to Landlord and other tenants as well as Tenant, Landlord hereby reserves the
right to require Tenant to modify or remove the content of any sign that may be
seen by the public that Tenant may place or cause or permit to be placed in or
about the Leased Premises, the Building, the Project and Common Areas and
Facilities. All signage in or about the Leased Premises is further subject to
rules and regulations Landlord may from time to time promulgate and/or modify
regarding use and operation of the Leased Premises, which rules and regulations
are more specifically referred to in Section 13.4 of this Lease. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, as part of the right to name the
Building, Tenant may install or have installed interior signs in the elevator
lobbies, elevator cars of the Building, and any elevator entry areas to the
Building in proportion with other signage in the area, subject to Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In
addition, Tenant may install or have installed signs elsewhere in the Project,
or Common Areas and Facilities subject to Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.
24.2 EXTERIOR SIGNS.
Provided Tenant (and not an unaffiliated assignee or sublessee of Tenant)
occupies at least one hundred eighty thousand (180,000) Rentable Square Feet in
the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to
install and maintain during the Lease Term, up to two exterior signs on top of
the Building and one (1) entry sign on the North side of the Building (the
"Exterior Signs"). The design, size, color and materials used for the Exterior
Signs and the location of the Exterior Signs shall be acceptable to Landlord, in
its reasonable discretion, and must comply with all requirements imposed by the
City of Bellevue and any and all other applicable governmental laws, rules and
regulations, including without limitation those contained in Bellevue City Code
Chapter 22B.10. The Exterior Signs shall contain only the words "▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇" or
"▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Est. 1920." Tenant shall remove, at Tenant's cost and expense, the
Exterior Signs prior to the expiration or any earlier termination of the Lease
Term and immediately remove the Exterior Signs if Tenant no longer qualifies to
have and maintain such a sign under the City of Bellevue sign code and other
laws, rules and regulations and if Tenant fails or refused to do so, Landlord
may remove the Exterior Signs at Tenant's cost. Tenant also shall be responsible
for all maintenance and use costs associated with the Exterior Signs and the
cost of designing, constructing, installing and permitting the Exterior Signs
and any repair or restoration to the Building made necessary by the removal of
the Exterior Signs. Landlord accepts the use of the Tenant's logos, as depicted
on EXHIBIT L attached hereto, for the Exterior Signs.
24.3 BUILDING NAME.
During the Lease Term and as long as Tenant is not in default under this
Lease and is entitled to maintain the Exterior Signs on the Building, the
Building shall be identified to the public by Landlord as the "▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Building at Lincoln Square." Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from
continuing to use the name "Lincoln Square," and variations thereof, in
referring to the Project. Landlord shall not be obligated to require that any
tenant in the Building refer to the Building as the "▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Building at
Lincoln Square." Tenant grants to Landlord an irrevocable non-exclusive license
during the Lease Term to use "▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇" solely in connection with the
Building and Tenant releases Landlord from any and all claims and causes of
action related to or arising out of Tenant's or Landlord's use of the name
"▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇" in referring to the Building. Landlord grants to Tenant an
irrevocable non-exclusive license during the Lease Term to use "Lincoln Square"
solely in connection with the operation of its business in the Building and
Landlord releases Tenant from any and all claims and causes of action related to
or arising out of Tenant's or Landlord's use of the name "Lincoln Square" in
referring to the Building.
25. MERCHANDISE.
Tenant shall not operate a retail store in the Leased Premises or, except as
specifically provided herein, sell merchandise in or from the Leased Premises.
Notwithstanding the forgoing Tenant may, (i) sell ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ products to
employees of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. in the Building at Tenant's Corporate Store and
(ii), no more frequently than six (6) times a Lease
Year, use a portion of the Leased Premises on Floor 4 or 5 to conduct Private
Employee Sales. All Private Employee Sales shall be conducted during hours other
than during Regular Business Hours and in a manner that does not involve any
public promotion and is not contrary to the image of a first class office
building. The foregoing exception to the general prohibition on merchandise
sales in and from the Leased Premises is personal to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. and not
