The first Renewal Term will commence on the day following the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease and the remaining Renewal Term will commence on the day following the expiration of the immediately preceding Renewal Term. Tenant must exercise this option, If at all, by delivering irrevocable written notioe of

 

Page 21    Redmond,WA


such election (the “Option Notice”) to Landlord at least one year, but no sooner than eighteen (18) months, prior to expiration of the lnlllal Term or the immediately preceding Renewal Term, as applicable. If Tenant does not validly deliver an Option Notice to renew the Lease Term for one (1) or more Renewal Term(s), the provisions of this Paragraph 25.1 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. Any such renewal of this Lease shall be upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease except that Base Rent during each Renewal Term shall be determined as provided in Paragraph 25,2 and Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any tenant Improvements or other work in connection with any such renewal of this Lease. Except to the extent specifically provided in this Paragraph 25.1, Tenant has no rights to renew the Lease Term.

25.2. Base Rent During Renewal Term: Market Base Rent.

25.2.1. Market Base Rent. Base Rent during any Renewal Terms shall be determined based upon the “Market Base Rent” defined as the average (mean) of the annual base rental rates then being charged for space located in the Seattle/Redmond metropolitan area end comparable to the Premises, taking into consideration all relevant factors including, without limitation, use, location, size and parking rights (to the extent that parking rights are a factor in determining base rental rates in the then current marketplace). It is agreed that bona fide written offers to lease the Premises or 11 similar premises in the Park made to Landlord by third parties (at arms-length) may be used by Landlord as an indication of Market Base Rent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, In no event shall the Market Base Rent for any Renewal Terms be less than the Base Rent then currently payable by Tenant immediately prior to the commencement of the relevant Renewal Term.

25.2.2. Determination. Landlord shall submit its opinion of Market Base Rent to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Option Notice and Tenant shall respond thereto within ten (10) days thereafter by either (i) accepting Landlord’s opinion of Market Base Rent (In which case, such Market Base Rent shall be used to determine Base Rent during the relevant Renewal Term) or (ii) submitting Tenant’s opinion of Market Base Rent. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Market Base Rent of the Premises within fifteen (15) days thereafter, then Landlord and Tenant within five (5) days shall each submit to each other their final written statement of Market Base Rent (“Final Statement’’). If the Market Base Rent set forth In Landlord’s Final Statement (“Landlord’s Market Base Rent”) and the Market Base Rent set forth in Tenant’s Final Statement (“Tenant’s Market Base Rent’’) differ by five percent (5%) or less of the lesser of the respective Market Base Rent submittals, the Market Base Rent for the relevant Renewal Term shall be the average of Landlord’s Market Base Rent and Tenant’s Market Base Rent. If Landlord’s Market Base Rent and Tenant’s Market Base Rent differ by more than five percent (5%) of the lesser of the respective Market Base Rent submittals, within ten (10) days after submitting their respective Final Statement, Landlord and Tenant shall together appoint one real estate appraiser who shall be a Member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and be disinterested (the “Appraiser’’). If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon an Appraiser within said ten (10) day period, the parties shall jointly apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for the County in which the Premises are located (the “Judge”), requesting said Judge to appoint the Appraiser; If either Landlord or Tenant does not so apply to the Judge within ftve (5) days following the expiration of the ten (10) day period, the real estate appraiser initially suggested by the party who timely applied to the Judge shall be deemed the Appraiser for purposes of the arbitration. The parties shall share equally any costs of such application to the Judge. Within ten (10) days following selection or appointment of the Appraiser, the Appraiser shall determine whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s Final Statement of Market Base Rent is the closest to the actual (in such Appraiser’s opinion) Market Base Rent of the Premises and shall select either Landlord’s or Tenant’s Final Statement of Market Base Rent as the closest to the actual (In such Appraiser’s opinion) Market Base Rent of the Premises, without any compromising or averaging. The Market Base Rent for the Premises as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be the Market Base Rent used in determining Base Rent during the relevant Renewal Term. The fees and expenses of said Appraiser shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.

25.2.3. Base Rent During Determination. If, for any reason, the Market Base Rent hereunder is not determined prior to the beginning of the relevant Renewal Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent amount In effect Immediately preceding the commencement of the relevant Renewal Term and, upon final determination of the Market Base Rent for the relevant Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a cash payment equal to the sum of such amounts as may be necessary to adjust each monthly Base Rent payment which has been made hereunder to the Market Base Rent effective as of the relevant Renewal Term.

25.3. Right of First Opportunity to Purchase . Provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the “Right of First Opportunity to Purchase• the Premises subject to the following terms and conditions: If at any time during the Lease Term Landlord elects to sell the Premises on an individual basis and to an unrelated third party, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Notice of Availability stating the price and terms under which Landlord would sell the Premises. Tenant shall have a period of fifteen (15) business days from receipt of a Notice of Availability to accept the terms and deliver to Landlord a Notice of Acceptance. If Tenant

 

Page 22    Redmond,WA


does not exercise Its right to purchase within such fifteen (15) business day period, and Landlord subsequently sells the Premises as described below, then Landlord shall be relieved of Its obligations to sell the Premises and Tenant’s Right of First Opportunity shall terminate. In the event Tenant delivers a Notice of Acceptance, the parties shall negotiate in good faith toward execution of a binding purchase and sale agreement consistent with the stated terms as soon as practicable. If no such agreement is executed within forty-five (45) days thereafter, or Tenant does not deliver a Notice of Acceptance within the period described above, Landlord may offer, negotiate, enter Into and consummate a sale transaction with any other party or parties provided that the terms finally executed are not less than five percent (5%) of the purchase price offered to Tenant in the Notice of Availability and otherwise not materially more advantageous than those offered to the Tenant. The rights granted to Tenant under this paragraph 25,3 are personal to Tenant (and Its Permitted Transferees), may not be exercised or assigned to any person or entity other than Tenant (or its Permitted Transferees), and shall tenninate and be of no further force or effect upon any assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises (except to any Permitted Transferee) unless specifically agreed and consented to in writing by Landlord in connection with any such sublease or assignment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease on the respective dates set opposite their signatures bela.v, but this Lease, on behalf of such party, shall be deemed to have been dated as of the Reference Date.
