(a) In the event the Building and/or the Premises is damaged by fire or other perils covered by Landlord’s insurance, Landlord shall:

 

(i) In the event of total destruction, at Landlord’s option, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Building and/or the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or within sixty (60) days after such damage, elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the building and/or the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. In either event, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within said sixty (60) day period. In the event Landlord elects not to restore the building, and/or the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction.

 

(ii) In the event of partial destruction of the Building and/or the Premises, to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof, and if the damage thereto is such that the Building and/or the Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the happening of such casualty, and if Landlord will receive insurance proceeds41 sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration shall require a period longer than ninety (90) days or exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof,42 insurance proceeds will not be sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, then Landlord either may elect to so repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect or Landlord may elect not to repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall then

In the event Landlord elects not to restore the Building and/or the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction.

 

(b) Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Section 9.01, the parties shall be released without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord except for items which have therefore accrued and are then unpaid.

 

(c) In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration by Landlord as herein provided, the rental payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration; provided that there shall be no abatement of rent if such damage is the result of Tenant’s43 or intentional wrongdoing. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Premises and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Section 9.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.01, if Landlord is delayed or prevented from repairing or restoring the damaged Premises within one (1) year after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure the necessary labor or materials, or other cause beyond the control of Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this44 whereupon Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease45.

Section 9.02 Condemnation. If the whole of the Property or the Premises, or such portion thereof as shall be required for its reasonable use, shall be taken by virtue of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of the condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is later. Current Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the termination. In case of a taking of a part of the Premises or a part of the Property not required for the reasonable use of the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Rental shall be equitably reduced based upon the proportion by which the Rentable Area of the Premises is reduced. This Rent reduction shall be effective on the date of the partial taking. No award, settlement in lieu of an award, or any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award or settlement in lieu of an award which may be made in the taking or condemnation proceeding, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided that nothing herein shall prevent Tenant from making a separate claim against the condemning authority for the taking of Tenant’s personal property and/or moving costs so long as such claim in no way affects the award to be received by Landlord.

A sale by Landlord to any authority having the power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed to be a taking under the power of eminent domain for all purposes under this Article IX.

In the event of reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a previous breach, provided it has not been cured. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of that breach.

Failure by Landlord53 to take action or declare a default as a result of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that term, covenant, or condition, or of any subsequent breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of that preceding breach at the time of acceptance of the Rent.

 

Section 17.06 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any uncured default on the part of Landlord, which default would entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall not terminate this Lease unless Tenant has notified any mortgagee or beneficiary of deed of trust, whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, at least sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed effective date of the termination. During the sixty (60) day period the mortgagee or beneficiary shall be entitled to commence to cure the default. If the default is not capable of being cured with due diligence within the sixty (60) day period, the Lease shall not be terminated if the mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust shall have commenced to cure the default within the sixty (60) day period and shall pursue the cure with due diligence thereafter.

Any Expansion Option which is not timely exercised shall expire without any further notice or demand by Landlord.

 

7.04 Delivery of Space. After Tenant exercises an Expansion Option, Landlord shall cooperate in establishing a schedule for delivery of such Expansion Space to Tenant. The delivery of the Expansion Space shall occur not prior to two (2) months and not after four (4) months following the Effective Date set forth Paragraph 7.02 above for such Expansion Option.

Option to Extend. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease for two (2) consecutive terms of five (5) years (the “Extension Periods”) on the same terms and conditions as the Lease except for Basic Rent which shall be determined as set forth below; provided, that said option to extend may be exercised only in the event Tenant is not in default at the time said option right is exercised and at the time the applicable Extension Period is to commence. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice exercising an extension option not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or previous Extension Period, as applicable. In the event Tenant fails to exercise an extension option, any subsequent extension option shall immediately lapse without further notice or demand. The Basic Rent for the first Extension Period shall be 95% of the market rent (“Market Rent”) as determined pursuant to Paragraph 10 below of this Addendum, or, Thirty Three and No/100 Dollars ($33.00) per rentable square foot, whichever is the lesser amount.

10. Market Rent-Definition.

 

(i) The term market rent (“Market Rent”) shall mean rent that would be paid by a willing tenant to a willing landlord for a term equal to that available to Tenant at the time in question, for comparable space leased in the high rise elevator bank Century Square within the previous six (6) month period. If no space in Century Square has been leased in the six (6) month period, then mid or high rise space in Two Union Square or the First Interstate Building will be used as comparable space. Such determination shall include adjustments as are typically part of any such comparable rental agreement. For purposes of determining Market Rent, the total area of the Initial Premises and any Expansion Space shall be used. Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to negotiate Market Rent within sixty (60) days after exercise by Tenant of an option to extend. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed on Market Rent by the end of such 60-day period, each shall submit to the other in writing their final and best offer as to their opinion of Market Rent for the applicable Extension Period, and Market Rent shall then be determined by arbitration.

 

(ii) Such arbitration (“Arbitration”) shall be in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect, each party to appoint one arbitrator and those two arbitrators to appoint a third arbitrator. All arbitrators shall be persons who by their experience and profession are familiar with the subject matter and issue before the Arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, subject, however, to the provisions of RCW Chapter 7.04 which are not in conflict with said Rules; provided, however, if such Association is not then functioning or such Rules are not then in effect, Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of RCW Chapter 7.04, or such other

 

16


provisions of the statutory laws of the State of Washington as may be enacted in lieu of said Chapter 7.04, one arbitrator to be appointed by each of the parties hereto, and those two arbitrators to promptly appoint a third arbitrator. All such Arbitration proceedings shall take place in Seattle, Washington, and shall be concluded prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period. In any such Arbitration proceeding, each party shall have full access to the books and records of the other party and the power to call for testimony any employee, agent or officer of any other party, and all other rights to discovery afforded under the then applicable Civil Rules for the Superior Court for the State of Washington or rules or laws applicable to proceedings in King County Superior Court adopted in lieu thereof shall be applicable, all of which shall be fully enforceable by the arbitrators, or if they fail to effect such enforcement, by the Superior Court of King County, Washington.

 

(iii) If the Market Rent as determined by the Arbitration is one hundred ten percent (110%) or more than the final and best Market Rent specified by Tenant at the end of the sixty (60) day period described above, Tenant shall pay the entire fee charged by the third arbitrator. If, on the other hand, the Market Rent determined by the Arbitration is less than ninety percent (90%) of the final and best Market Rent specified by Landlord at the end of the sixty (60) day period described above, Landlord shall pay the entire fee charged by the third arbitrator. Otherwise, the third arbitrator’s fee shall be paid equally by Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay the fees charged by the arbitrator selected by it.

 

11. Refurbishment at Lease Extension. Pursuant to Paragraph 9 above, on or about the commencement date of each Extension Period, Landlord shall repaint the entire Premises and refinish woodwork throughout the Premises as needed. Additionally, on the commencement date of the first (1st) Extension Period, Landlord shall provide new carpet for the Premises.

 

12. See Page i and Page 1 Section 1.01 Premises Defined.

 

Right of First Refusal.

 

12.01 Right of First Refusal. Effective as of the Commencement Date of the Lease Term, Landlord grants Tenant a right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) to lease space on the 18th floor contiguous to the Initial Premises. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal rights hereunder shall apply only with respect to such floor on which the Expansion Space is located. This Right of First Refusal shall remain in effect until (a) all of the RFR Space has been leased by Tenant, or (b) a portion of the RFR Space has been leased to a third party, whichever shall first occur, at which time the Right of First Refusal shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such leased RFR Space, except as provided for in 12.02(d) below.

 

12.02 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. This Right of First Refusal shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written notice (the “Notice”) at such time as Landlord submits a lease proposal to a third party to lease all or any portion of

 

17


the RFR Space, which Notice shall set forth the fact that a lease proposal covering all or some portion of the RFR Space has been submitted to a third party and stating the rentable square foot area and location of the RFR Space subject to such proposal and the date on which the lease of the applicable RFR Space is to commence.

 

(b) Tenant shall have ten (10) calendar days (the “Response Period”) from receipt of such Notice within which to elect to take all of the RFR Space being offered to the third party, which election shall be in writing and received by Landlord within said Response Period.

 

(c) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the first month’s Basic Rent for such RFR Space within the Response Period at a negotiated rate not greater than the then current Per Rentable Square Foot Rent Rate set forth in the Lease Summary.

 

(d) Failure of Tenant to elect to take all of the RFR Space being offered to a third party within the Response Period in the manner set forth above shall be conclusively deemed a waiver of Tenant’s Right of First Refusal with respect to that portion of the RFR Space, and Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease, at its sole discretion from time to time, that portion of the RFR Space. Provided, however, in the event all or a portion of the RFR Space is leased to a third party for a term which terminates prior to the Termination Date of this Lease, then in that event the Right of First Refusal will be in effect from the termination of such third party lease through the Termination Date of this Lease. Provided further, that in the event Landlord does not consummate a lease with such third party, then in that event, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall not be deemed to have been waived.

 

(e) Tenant is not in default under this Lease and is in occupancy of the Premises (i) on the date Tenant elects in writing to exercise this Right of First Refusal and (ii) on the date Tenant occupies the RFR Space.

 

12.03 Terms for Lease of RFR Space. If the Right of First Refusal with respect to any RFR Space is exercised at the time and in the manner as set forth above, Tenant shall take all of such RFR Space under all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and such provisions shall automatically be amended to include that portion of the RFR Space taken commencing on the date set forth in Landlord’s Notice given pursuant to subparagraph 12.02(a) above. Basic Rent payable by Tenant shall be increased to account for the additional square footage of the RFR Space at not greater than the Per Rentable Square Foot Rent Rate in effect from time to time during the Lease Term as stated in the Lease Summary. Tenant’s Proportionate Share, for purposes of calculating Additional Rent pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Lease, shall also be increased to account for the additional square footage of RFR space leased by Tenant.

 

13. See Page ii and Page 3 Section 4.02 Operating Expenses.

 

Cap on Operating Expense Increase. Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Total Operating Expenses for any year, exclusive of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance, utility costs, janitorial services, trash removal, elevator,

 

18


escalator and HVAC maintenance costs allocated to the Premises, in excess of six percent (6%) over the Total Operating Expenses for the prior Lease Year, exclusive of real property taxes, assessments, insurance, utility costs, janitorial services, trash removal, elevator, escalator and HVAC maintenance costs allocated to the Premises. For purposes of calculating Operating Expense increases subject to this provision, landlord shall apply the six percent (6%) cap separately to each expense category not specifically excluded herein, it being the intent of the parties hereto that non-excluded expense categories shall not be grouped together or averaged in arriving at allowable increase amounts.

 

14. Storage Area.

 

(a) Square Feet and Location. In addition to the Premises, Tenant shall also have the right to use, during the Term of this Lease, a locked and reasonably secured exclusive storage area up to but not more than 2,100 square feet in area (the “Storage Area”). Attached hereto as Exhibit H is a portion of the floor plan for Subgrade Level A of the Building (the level immediately below Level 1), showing one (1) area for storage containing 506 square feet. (All of the walls of the Storage Area on Subgrade Level A are constructed with poured concrete or cement block.) Additionally, 287 square feet of Storage Area shall be located on the 18th floor as depicted on Exhibit A attached, and the remaining area of up to 1,307 square feet shall be made available by the Landlord to the Tenant as needed, upon reasonable notice and in reasonably sized increments, in the Building. Landlord shall identify by signage or otherwise the Storage Area as being used exclusively by Tenant. The use of the Storage Area by Tenant shall conform with the terms and conditions of the Lease, and shall be further subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time adopt.

 

(b) Storage Area Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent in monthly installments Seven and No/100 Dollars ($7.00) per rentable square foot of Storage Area through April 30, 1996 and Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of Storage Area through April 30, 1998. Storage Rent for any Extension Period pursuant to Paragraph 9 above shall be the greater of market or Fifteen and No/100 Dollars ($15.00) per square foot, but in any event not greater than Fifteen and No/100 Dollars ($15.00) per square foot for the first (1st) Extension Period and Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00) per square foot for the second (2nd) Extension Period.

 

15. See Page 4, Section 4.02(d) Operating Expenses.

 

At least thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written estimate of Total Operating Expenses for the first Lease Year (May 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993); Landlord shall also provide to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date the Expense Stop amount per Section 4.02(b) of the Lease Summary and shall also at that time inform Tenant what amount shall be payable as Additional Rent per this Section 4.02.

 

16. See Page 6, Section 4.02(f) Operating Expenses (last paragraph)

 

19


In addition to excluded expense items set forth in this paragraph, the following expenses shall not be included in Operating Expenses:

RECITALS

 

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into an Office Lease Agreement dated July 15, 1991, as amended by a First Amendment to Office Lease Agreement dated August 25, 1993 and a Second Amendment to Office Lease Agreement dated December 15, 1995 (as amended, the “Lease”), for the lease of certain premises located at 1501 Fourth Avenue, Suites 1800 and 1900, Seattle, Washington (the “Premises”).

B. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Addendum attached as Exhibit F to the Lease (the “Addendum”), Tenant exercised its right to extend the Term of the Lease for the first Extension Period. Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Amendment to memorialize the terms of Tenant’s lease of the Premises for the first Extension Period.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as they are given in the Lease.

All references in the Lease to the Premises shall be deemed to include the Premises as expanded by the Expansion Space. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Amendment to the contrary, Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space shall terminate upon the commencement of Tenant’s lease of the RFO Space (as defined in Section 7 below).

If the tenant who has possession of and/or rights to the RFO Space does not vacate the RFO Space as of the end of the written lease term, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for failure to deliver possession of the RFO Space to Tenant at such time as the rights of the prior tenant to the RFO Space have terminated, and until the prior tenant has actually vacated the RFO Space.

8. Ratification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified by Landlord and Tenant.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO

OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated for reference purposes the 7th day of October, 2002, and is by and between 1501 FOURTH AVENUE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Washington limited partnership (“Landlord”), and FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF SEATTLE, a federal corporation (“Tenant”).

 

RECITALS

B. Utilizing the 1996 Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA”) standard for measuring office space, the 46,836 rentable square feet in the Premises consist of 3,976 rentable square feet in Suite 1780, 5,175 rentable square feet in suite 1800-A, 16,255 rentable square feet in Suite 1800-B (14,711 rentable square feet according to 1980 BOMA standards), and 21,430 rentable square feet in Suite 1900 (20,037 rentable square feet according to 1980 BOMA standards).

(1) Within ninety (90) days of the end of the Base Year and each Computation Year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give to Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of the total amounts that will be payable by Tenant under Paragraph 4.02(a) for the following Computation Year, and Tenant shall pay such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis, in advance, on the first day of each month. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change therein. If at any time or times Landlord determines that the amounts payable under Paragraph 4.02(a) for the current Computation Year will vary from Landlord’s estimate given to Tenant, Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise the estimate for such Computation Year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such Computation Year shall be based upon such revised estimate. By April 1 of each calendar year following the initial Computation Year, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a statement showing the actual Additional Rent due to Landlord for the prior Computation Year. If the total of the monthly payments of Additional Rent that Tenant has made for the prior Computation Year is less than the actual Additional Rent chargeable to Tenant for such prior Computation Year, then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement from Landlord. Any overpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent for the prior Computation Year shall be returned to Tenant in a lump sum payment within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement.

 

(2) Landlord’s then-current annual operating and capital budgets for the Building and the Project or the pertinent part thereof shall be used for purposes of calculating

 

6


Tenant’s monthly payment of estimated Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as provided above. Landlord shall make the final determination of Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease terminates as soon as possible after termination of such year. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, with respect to the year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall remain liable for payment of any amount due to Landlord in excess of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by Tenant, and, conversely, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any overpayment. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent as herein provided.

 

(3) With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the office portion of the Project, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth in Section 4.a of this Amendment as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Office Tower. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole or to only a portion of the Project, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be, with respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole, the percentage set forth in Section 4.a as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may equitably adjust Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) for all or part of any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Building and/or the Project or that varies with the occupancy of the Building and/or the Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to adjust Tenant’s Proportionate Share(s) of any Utility Expenses based upon Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar services as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination of Utility Expenses, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or, with the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense.

 

(4) In the event the average occupancy level of the Building or the Project for the Base Year and/or any subsequent Computation Year is not ninety-five percent (95%) or more of full occupancy, then the variable expenses on which there has been a reduction to accurately reflect the decreased occupancy level but not the fixed Operating Expenses for such year shall be apportioned among the tenants by the Landlord to reflect those costs which would have occurred had the Building or the Project, as applicable, been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during such year, provided, however, in no event shall Landlord recover more than the amount of Operating Expenses actually incurred.

 

(5) Landlord shall not, during the Term or any extensions or renewals thereof, remeasure the Premises in accordance with the current or revised standards promulgated from time to time by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BONA) or the American National Standards Institute or other generally accepted measurement standards utilized by Landlord and shall not adjust the Proportionate Share(s) of Tenant.

 

7


4.02(c) General Payment Terms. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are referred to as the “Rent”. All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America. Checks are to be made payable to Landlord and shall be mailed to: Landlord, c/o P.O. Box 12328, Seattle, Washington 98111, or to such other person or place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant in writing. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or termination of the Term shall be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month.

 

4.02(d) Statements Binding. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Paragraph 4 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless (i) within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect, and (ii) if such dispute shall not have been settled by agreement, Tenant shall submit the dispute to arbitration within ninety (90) days after receipt of the statement. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement, pay Additional Rent in accordance with Landlord’s statement and such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If the dispute shall be determined in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Additional Rent resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement.

 

4.02(e) Audit Rights. Provided Tenant notifies Landlord in accordance with the terms of paragraph (e) above that Tenant disputes a statement received from Landlord, Tenant or its representative (provided that any third party performing the audit shall not be compensated based primarily on the amount of recovery) shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord at any time during regular business hours to audit, review and photocopy Landlord’s records pertaining to Operating Expenses for the immediately previous calendar year only. Tenant agrees to keep all information thereby obtained by Tenant confidential

 

5. Options to Renew. Sections 9 and 10 of Exhibit F Addendum to the Lease are hereby deleted and replaced with the following new sections:

 

(a) Exercise of Options. Provided Tenant is not in default (beyond applicable notice and grace periods) pursuant to any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the option (the “Option”) to renew this Lease for two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Option Period”) for the period commencing on the date following the expiration of the then current Term upon the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except, as provided in this Paragraph 5. To exercise an Option, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Extension Notice”) of the intent to exercise said Option not less than nine (9) months or more than twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the Option Period which is the subject of the notice will commence. The notice shall be given as provided in the notice provisions of the Lease. In the event Tenant shall exercise both Options, this Lease will terminate in its entirety at the end of the second

 

8


Option Period and Tenant will have no further Options to renew or extend the Term of this Lease.

 

(b) Determination of Base Rent. The Base Rent for each Option shall be 95% of the fair market value rent determined as follows:

 

(i) Landlord and Tenant will have thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Extension Notice within which to agree on the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Period, as defined in subsection (ii) below. If they agree on the Base Rent within thirty (30) days, they will amend this Lease by stating the Base Rent.

 

(ii) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Base Rent for the Option Period within thirty (30) days, the Base Rent for the Option Period will be 95% of the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the Extension Notice as determined in accordance with subsection (iii) hereof. As used in this Lease, the “fair market rental value of the Premises” means what a landlord under no compulsion to lease the Premises, and a tenant under no compulsion to lease the Premises, would determine as Base Rent (including initial monthly rent and rental increases) for the Option Period, as of the Extension Notice, taking into consideration the uses permitted under this Lease, the quality, size, design and location of the Premises, and the rent for comparable buildings located in the vicinity of the Project.

 

(iii) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth in subparagraph (ii) above, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one licensed real estate appraiser, and the two appraisers so appointed shall jointly attempt to determine and agree upon the then fair market rental value of the Premises. If they are unable to agree, then each appraiser so appointed shall set one value, and notify the other appraiser, of the value set by him or her, concurrently with such appraiser’s receipt of the value set by the other appraiser. The two appraisers then shall, together, select a third licensed appraiser, who shall make a determination of the then fair market rental value, after reviewing the reports of the first two appraisers appointed by the parties, and after doing such independent research as he/she deems appropriate. The value determined by the third appraiser shall be the then fair market rental value of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the appraiser each appoints and shall share equally in the cost of the third appraiser, if applicable.

 

6. Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall have the right to make certain improvements to the 18th floor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 for the purpose of combining the separate premises on the floor into a single-tenant use (the “Improvement Work”). All such Improvement Work shall be constructed from construction drawings prepare by Tenant’s architect and approved in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall perform all Improvement Work using a contractor selected by Tenant from among a minimum of two contractors approved by the Landlord through a competitive bid process. Tenant shall pay all costs associated with any improvements to the Premises as and when due.

 

9


7. Parking. During the Extended Term, Tenant shall have the right to a total of thirty-nine (39) parking stalls, sixteen (16) of which shall be in the Century Square Garage and twenty-three (23) of which shall be at the Second & Pike Garage. Four (4) of the parking stalls at the Century Square Garage shall remain on a reserved basis in their present location, four (4) of the parking stalls at the Second & Pike Garage shall remain on a reserved basis in their present location, and the balance shall be on a non-reserved basis. All parking spaces shall be at the prevailing monthly parking rate, including the reserved parking spaces, as charged by Landlord or Landlord’s parking garage operator from time to time. Such parking shall be subject to the parking rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit I to the Lease.

 

8. Right of First Opportunity. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a “Right of First Opportunity” to lease any space which comes available on the 17th floor of the Building (the “RFO Space”) subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(i) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s election to lease the RFO Space within ten (10) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant that any RFO Space will be available for occupancy (which notice may be given by Landlord up to twelve (12) months prior to the date the space will be available). As a precondition to electing to take the RFO Space, Tenant must not be in default under this Lease at the time of Tenant’s election or at the time the RFO Space is added to this Lease. If for any reason Tenant fails to duly and timely exercise its Right of First Opportunity, Landlord shall be free to lease the RFO Space to any third party. If the tenant who has possession of and/or rights to the RFO Space does not vacate the RFO Space as of the end of the written lease term, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for failure to deliver possession of the RFO Space to Tenant at such time as the rights of the prior tenant to the RFO Space have terminated, and until the prior tenant has actually vacated the RFO Space.

 

(ii) If Tenant elects to lease the RFO Space, Tenant’s lease of the RFO Space shall commence on the date Landlord tenders possession of the RFO Space to Tenant (the “Space Commencement Date”) and shall be on terms identical to those set forth in the Lease and, this Amendment, except that (i) Tenant shall not be entitled to any concessions with respect to the RFO Space including, without limitation, commissions or allowances, (ii) the lease term for such RFO Space shall be co-terminus with the Term (including any renewal options) of the Lease, and (iii) rent for the RFO Space shall be at the rent per rentable square foot rate applicable to the Premises at the time Tenant’s lease of the RFO Space commences (including any subsequent rent increases).

 

9. Supplemental HVAC Systems. The Premises currently contains both a server room (the “Server Room”) and a wire transfer room (the “Wire Transfer Room”), which are located (or, during the Extended Term, will be located) in the locations identified on Exhibit A attached hereto. During the Extended Term, Landlord shall provide the equipment necessary to cool, with a relative humidity level of 40-60% but not to exceed 80% and a temperature of between 60° and 75° Fahrenheit, the Server Room with at least ten (10) tons of HVAC capacity and the Wire Transfer Room with at least one (1) ton of HVAC capacity (collectively, the “HVAC Limits”). Landlord may meet the HVAC Limits by

 

10


supplementing the Existing Equipment (as hereafter defined) or by removing the Existing Equipment and replacing it with replacement cooling equipment. The term “Existing Equipment” refers to the existing two ton fan coil unit serving the Server Room and the existing one ton Move ‘n Cool unit serving the Wire Transfer Room. The Server Room has also been serviced by a two ton Move ‘n Cool unit which shall not be part of the “Existing Equipment” and will not be used or maintained by Landlord unless Tenant elects to use such unit as Supplemental Equipment (as defined below), in which case Landlord will repair and maintain the unit as hereafter described. If Landlord elects to remove any Existing Equipment it shall remain the property of Tenant. The Existing Equipment together with any other equipment installed from time to time by Landlord to provide the HVAC Limits is hereafter collectively referred to as the “HVAC Equipment”. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably approve the HVAC Equipment selected by Landlord and any equipment purchased by Landlord to supplement or replace the Existing Equipment shall be new. Landlord shall be responsible for maintaining and repairing the HVAC Equipment. All regular maintenance and repair costs for the HVAC Equipment shall be an Operating Expense under Section 4.02 of the Lease except that maintenance and repair costs which are necessitated by Tenant’s acts (such as Tenant exceeding the heat load capacity) shall be paid directly by Tenant. In the event Landlord and Tenant disagree over whether or not a certain cost was necessitated by Tenant’s acts, such disagreement shall be resolved by a mutually acceptable qualified and licensed mechanical engineer. Except for the Supplemental Equipment described below, any necessary replacement of the HVAC Equipment shall be at Landlord’s expense. Except for interruptions which are not within Landlord’s reasonable control (such as an interruption in utility service or casualty), in the event that the HVAC Equipment is in need of repair and thus not maintaining the required temperatures, Landlord will promptly respond to a request for repair (and, if necessary, provide an alternative cooling source within four hours) of Landlord being notified of the need for such repairs and will diligently complete such repairs as soon as is reasonably possible. For interruptions that result from Landlord’s acts or omissions or as a result of problems with the Building HVAC system, Landlord will promptly respond to a request for repair (and, if necessary, provide an alternative cooling source within four hours) of Landlord being notified of the need for such repairs and will complete such repairs within twenty-four hours. In the event that Tenant’s use of the Server Room or the Wire Transfer Room generates a load which exceeds the respective HVAC Limits, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, be responsible for purchasing and installing all necessary supplemental equipment (the “Supplemental Equipment”) needed to provide the excess capacity, but Landlord shall continue to be responsible for maintaining and repairing any Supplemental Equipment. In addition, in the event Tenant desires to relocate the Server Room or the Wire Transfer Room, Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of removing, relocated, and re-installing the HVAC Equipment and returning it to its fully operational condition. Unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord, upon the earlier of Tenant’s vacation of the Premises or the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove the HVAC Equipment and restore or repair any damage caused by such removal.

 

10. Storage. Section 14 of Exhibit F is deleted and replaced with the following: for the term of the Lease, and any lease extensions, Tenant shall have the right to utilize its

 

11


existing storage space, consisting of 506 square feet on Level A, 295 square feet on Floor 18 and 360 square feet in the Century Square Garage, at an all-inclusive rental rate of $16.00 per square foot per year for the Extended Term, $18.00 per square foot for the first Option Period, and $20.00 per square foot for the second Option Period; provided, however, subject to Tenant’s prior approval of the new location (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Landlord may, at Landlord’s expense, relocate the garage storage space (but not the Floor 18 or Level A storage space) to other storage space within the Building.

 

11. Ratification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified by Landlord and Tenant.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

B. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Fifth Amendment to Office Lease Agreement, Tenant has exercised its Right of First Opportunity with respect to 1,136 rentable square feet of space located on the 17th floor of the Building in the location shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “RFO Space”).

2. Expansion of Premises. Commencing on the date Landlord tenders possession of the RFO Space to Tenant (the “RFO Space Commencement Date”), the Premises shall be expanded by the RFO Space.

Tenant shall not be entitled to any concessions with respect to the RFO Space including, without limitation, commissions or allowances, the lease term for the RFO Space shall be co-terminus with the Term (including any renewal options) of the Lease, and (iii) rent for the RFO Space shall be at the rent per rentable square foot rate applicable to the Premises at the time of the RFO Space Commencement Date (including any subsequent rent increases).

(i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Right at least six (6) months in advance;

 

(ii) Landlord shall not be responsible for paying any costs or expenses in connection with the Expansion Right except for any applicable costs of demolition on Suite 1700 up to a maximum of $5.00 per rentable square foot;

4


(iv) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses reasonably necessary to relocate the existing tenant of Suite 1700 to other space in the Building;

 

(v) Basic Rent for the Suite 1700 space shall equal to the fair market rental value for such space determined in accordance with the procedures set forth below; and

11. Determination of Rent. The Basic Rent for any space leased by Tenant pursuant to the Right of Opportunity, Right of First Refusal (to the extent Tenant does not accept the lease term set forth in the Offer), or Expansion Right shall be equal to the fair market value rent for such space determined as follows:

 

(i) Landlord and Tenant will have fifteen (15) days after Tenant elects to lease such space within which to agree on the fair market rental value of the space as of the estimated commencement date. If they agree on the Basic Rent within such fifteen (15) day period, they will amend the Lease by stating the Basic Rent.

 

(ii) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Basic Rent for the space within the fifteen (15) day period set forth in subsection (i) above, the Basic Rent for the space will be equal to the fair market rental value of the space as of the commencement date for such space as determined in accordance with subsection (iii) hereof. As used in this Amendment, the “fair market rental value of the space” means what a landlord under no compulsion to lease the space, and a tenant under no compulsion to lease the space, would determine as Basic Rent (including initial monthly rent and rental increases) for the term of such lease, taking into consideration the uses permitted under the Lease, the quality, size, design and location of the space, and the effective rent (including allowances and other concessions) for comparable office space in the Seattle commercial business district.

 

(iii) Within ten (10) days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period set forth in subparagraph (ii) above, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one licensed real estate appraiser, and the two appraisers so appointed shall jointly attempt to determine and agree upon the then fair market rental value of the space. If they are unable to agree, then each appraiser so appointed shall set one value, and notify the other appraiser, of the value set by him or her, concurrently with such appraiser’s receipt of the value set by the other appraiser. The two appraisers then shall, together, select a third licensed appraiser, who shall make a determination of the then fair market rental value, after reviewing the reports of the first two appraisers appointed by the parties, and after doing such independent research as he/she deems appropriate. The value determined by the third appraiser shall be the then fair market rental value of the space. Landlord and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the appraiser each appoints and shall share equally in the cost of the third appraiser, if applicable. If the rent is determined following the commencement of Tenant’s lease of the applicable

 

5


space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all accrued rent within ten (10) days after the determination of the fair market rental value of the space. In addition, Landlord and Tenant will amend the Lease to state the fair market rental value of the space as determined under this subsection (iii).

 

12. Representation. Tenant was represented in this transaction by Kinzer Real Estate Services.

 

13. Ratification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms. and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified by Landlord and Tenant.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the lease to expand the Premises subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as they are given in the Lease.

 

2. Expansion of Premises.

 

(a) Suite 2070 Expansion Space. Commencing on the date of this Amendment (the “Suite 2070 Expansion Date”), the Premises shall be expanded by approximately 4,846 rentable square feet in Suite 2070 in the location identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Suite 2070 Expansion Space”). Tenant’s obligation to commence paying Basic Rent with respect to the Suite 2070 Expansion Space shall commence on the earlier of (1) the first day of the first calendar month following the date in which Tenant completes the Tenant Improvements (as hereafter defined) to the Suite 2070 Expansion Space, or (2) April 1, 2005 (the “Suite 2070 Rent Commencement Date”),

 

(b) Suite 2050 Expansion Space. Tenant currently subleases from Davis Wright Tremaine LLP approximately 10,820 rentable square feet in Suite 2050 in the

Tenant’s obligation to commence paying Basic Rent with respect to the Suite 2050 Expansion Space shall commence on August 1, 2007 (the “Suite 2050 Rent Commencement Date”).

 

(c) Suite 2100 Expansion Space. Commencing on the date Landlord delivers possession thereof to Tenant (the “Suite 2100 Expansion Date”), the Premises shall be expanded by approximately 17,344 rentable square feet in Suite 2100 in the location identified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Suite 2100 Expansion Space”).

Commencing on February 1, 2007, and subject to reasonable advance notice to Landlord, Landlord shall facilitate Tenant’s access to the Suite 2100 Expansion Space for space planning purposes only.

 

If for any reason Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Suite 2100 Expansion Space to Tenant by October 1, 2007, and if Tenant needs additional expansion space immediately, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonably comparable space within the Building (the “Interim Space”) from October 1, 2007 until the date which is four (4) months after the Suite 2100 Delivery Date. Landlord shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with moving Tenant (including but not limited to moving communications, security, equipment and furniture) from space within the Building to the Interim Space and again from the Interim Space to the Suite 2100 Expansion Space. Tenant shall pay Basic Rent and Operating Expenses for the Interim Space during Tenant’s period of occupancy of the Interim Space; provided, however, if the Interim Space is larger than the Suite 2100 Expansion Space, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Basic Rent or Operating Expenses for the Interim Space in excess of the Basic Rent and Operating Expenses that would have been due for the Suite 2100 Expansion Space.
