SECTION 1 PREMISES; DELIVERY
1.1 Lease of Premises.
Landlord leases to Tenant the Premises described in the Basic Lease Terms and shown as on Exhibit "B" (the "Premises"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
1.2 Delivery of Possession and Commencement.
Should Landlord be unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the Anticipated Delivery Date stated in the Basic Lease Terms, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delay in delivering possession. The term of the Lease shall commence as of the mutual execution of this Lease (the "Commencement Date"). The Rent Commencement Date shall be the date set forth in Item H, of the Basic Lease Terms. Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall constitute conclusive acceptance of the amount of square footage stated herein, and of the condition of the Premises. The Expiration Date of this Lease shall be the date stated in the Basic Lease Terms. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall confirm in writing the date of the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, and the Expiration Date.
1.3 Right of First Offer.
If at any time during the Term of the Lease, adjacent space on the second (2nd) or third (3rd) floor of the Building (the "First Offer Space") is available for lease or is about to become available for lease (such space shall not be deemed available for lease if it is currently subject to any existing options or rights of existing tenants of the Building) and so long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the availability of such space (the "Offer Space"). Tenant shall have five (5) business days to accept Landlord's offer. Such right of first offer is a one (1) time only right with respect to the Offer Space. If Tenant elects to lease the Offer Space, the terms of such lease shall be the same terms and conditions of this Lease except, (i) Base Rent shall be the rate Tenant is paying at the time of the exercise of the right of first offer (including three percent (3%) annual increases; (ii) Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in its "as-is" condition and Landlord shall not be required to perform any improvements to the Offer Space or provide any allowance therefor; and (iii) the term of the lease with respect to the entire Premises (including the Offer Space) following Tenant's exercise of the right of first offer shall be, at Tenant's election: (1) unchanged such that the Term of the Lease with respect to the entire Premises shall expire on the Expiration Date, in which case the Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Offer Space shall be increased by One and 00/100 Dollar ($1.00) per rentable square foot per year from that set forth in clause (i) above; or (2) extended by no less than four (4) years (with any longer extension to be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval). If the Term of the Lease is extended pursuant to clause (iii)(2) above, the Base Rent for such extended term shall increase by three percent (3%) each year. If Tenant fails to accept Landlord's offer within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall be free to lease the Offer Space any time during the term of this Lease free and clear of any rights of Tenant. The right of first offer contained herein shall not apply to any renewal or extension of an existing lease (even if such lease does not contain an automatic extension right) and shall be personal to the entity executing this Lease as tenant.
SECTION 2 RENT PAYMENT
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent for the Premises and any additional rent provided herein, without deduction or offset. At the same time as execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay any prepaid rent stated in the Basic Lease Terms. Rent is payable in advance on the first day of each month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date. Rent for any partial month during the Lease term shall be prorated to reflect the number of days during the month that Tenant occupies the Premises. Additional rent means amounts determined under Section 19 of this Lease and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month, or if less the maximum applicable rate of interest permitted by law, until paid. Landlord may at its option impose a late charge of the greater of $.05 for each $1 of rent or
Page 3
$50 for rent payments made more than ten (10) days late in lieu of interest for the first month of delinquency. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and is not a penalty. Neither imposition nor collection nor failure to impose or collect such late charge shall be considered a waiver of any other remedies available for default. In addition to such late charge, an additional charge of $75 shall be recoverable by Landlord for any returned checks.
SECTION 3 USE
3.1 Use.
Tenant shall use the Premises for the Tenant's Permitted Use stated in the Basic Lease Terms and for no other purpose. Tenant shall at its expense promptly cause the Premises to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations ("Laws") and shall not annoy, obstruct, or interfere with the rights of other tenants. Tenant shall not allow any objectionable fumes, noise, light, vibration, radiation, or electromagnetic waves to be emitted from the Premises. If any such sound or vibration is detectable outside of the Premises, Tenant shall provide such insulation as is required to muffle such sound or vibration and render it undetectable at Tenant's cost. Tenant shall not conduct any activities that will increase Landlord's insurance rates. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon its business operations and all trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, merchandise and other personal property in or about the Premises.
3.2 Equipment.
Tenant shall install in the Premises only such equipment as is customary for Tenant's Permitted Use and shall not overload the floors or electrical circuits of the Premises or Building or alter the plumbing or wiring of the Premises or Building. Landlord must approve in advance the location of and manner of installing any wiring or electrical, heat generating, climate sensitive, or communication equipment or exceptionally heavy articles. All telecommunications equipment, conduit, cables and wiring, additional dedicated circuits, and any additional air conditioning required because of heat generating equipment or special lighting installed by Tenant shall be installed and operated at Tenant's expense and, at Landlord's written request shall be removed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost. Tenant shall have no right to install any equipment on or through the roof of the Building, or use or install or store any equipment or other items outside of the interior boundary of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Landlord grants to Tenant a license to use an area upon the site of the Building in a reasonable, mutually agreeable location to install one 1400 KW emergency energy generator (the "Generator"), and one 500 gallon fuel storage tank (the "Tank") for the period commencing on the Occupancy Commencement Date and ending on the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease in accordance with applicable laws and after obtaining Landlord's prior written consent therefor. Tenant shall have the right to install an electrical grounding system for the Generator (the "Electrical Grounding System") in accordance with applicable Laws and after obtaining Landlord's prior written consent to the plans and specifications therefor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall bear the sole cost and expense of locating and installing the Generator, the Electrical Grounding System and the Tank and shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in accommodating Tenant's location and use. In addition, Tenant may install an emergency generator plug (the "Plug") on the outside of the Building, in a reasonable, mutually agreeable location, for the purpose of connecting the Premises to a portable generator in the event of a Building power failure. The location, installation, use, maintenance, repair, replacement, and removal of the Generator, the Tank, the Electrical Grounding System, and the Plug shall be in accordance with all of the provisions of this Section. Tenant shall safely store and use the fuel required for operation of the Generator strictly in accordance with all applicable Laws. Tenant may test the Generator once per week at a mutually agreed upon time between Landlord
Page 4
and Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant leave the Generator, Tank, Electrical Grounding System and/or the Plug on the Premises at the end of the term of this Lease or the sooner termination of this Lease.
3.3 Signs and Other Installations.
No signs, awnings, or other apparatus shall be painted on or attached to the Building or anything placed on any glass or woodwork of the Premises or positioned so as to be visible from outside the Premises, including any window covering (e.q., shades, blinds, curtains, drapes, screens, or tinting materials) without Landlord's written consent. All signs installed by Tenant shall comply with Landlord's standards for signs and all applicable codes and all signs and sign hardware shall be removed upon termination of this Lease with the sign location restored to its former state. Tenant may not install alarm boxes, foil protection tape, or other security equipment on the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Any material violating this provision may be removed and disposed by Landlord without compensation to Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of the same upon request.
3.4 Parking.
Tenant shall have the right to use the Building parking garage at the rate established for such parking spaces, so long as Landlord has the right to provide such spaces in the Building parking garage. Tenant shall not have the right to use any other parking spaces at or around the Building. The parking spaces in the Building parking garage shall be used only for parking by vehicles no larger than full sized passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described herein, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable as additional rent upon demand by Landlord. The established parking rates may be adjusted to reasonable market rates for similarly situated premises in the Vancouver, WA, CBD area from time to time, and such sum shall be additional rent payable to the independent third-party parking management company, as the same may change from time to time.
SECTION 4 UTILITIES, SERVICES, SECURITY
4.1 Utilities and Services.
Landlord shall operate or cause the operation of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning ("HVAC") system serving the Premises during ordinary business hours of Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday 8:00 am to Noon ("Ordinary Building Hours") at such temperatures and in such amounts as Landlord determines are reasonably required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises. Janitorial service will be provided in accordance with the regular schedule of the Building, which schedule may change from time to time. Tenant shall be responsible for, and promptly pay when due, any and all charges for utility services used in the Premises and for all other services required for Tenants use of the Premises (including without limitation, all data and telephone services). Tenant shall comply with all government laws or regulations regarding the use or reduction of use of utilities on the Premises. Interruption of services or utilities shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises, render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall take all reasonable steps to correct any interruptions in service caused by defects in utility systems within Landlord's reasonable control. Tenant shall provide its own surge protection for power furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the utility service providers at all times as reasonably necessary, and shall allow Landlord and utility service providers, reasonable access to the pipes, lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.

Page 5
4.2 Extra Usage.
If Tenant uses excessive amounts of utilities or services of any kind because of unusually high demands from office machinery and equipment, nonstandard lighting, or any other similar cause, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment when compared to other office tenants in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for supplying such extra utilities or services, which charge shall be payable monthly by Tenant in conjunction with rent payments. Landlord reserves the right to (i) install separate meters for any utility and to charge Tenant for the cost of such installation up to $2,000 per utility, and/or (ii) charge Tenant for the actual cost of utilities used by it if Landlord is able to calculate such usage.
4.3 Security.
Landlord may (but shall have no obligation) adopt security measures regarding the Premises, and Tenant shall cooperate with all such security measures. Landlord may modify the type or amount of security measures provided at any time without notice. Tenant may install a security system within the Premises with Landlord's written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). Landlord shall be given an access code to any security system and shall not have any liability for accidentally setting off Tenant's security system.
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, ALTERATIONS
5.1 Maintenance and Repair.
5.1.1 Subject to reimbursement under Section 19, Landlord shall maintain and repair in good condition the Building structure, roof, exterior walls and doors, exterior windows, and common areas of the Building, and the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems, facilities and components located in the Building that are used in common by all tenants of the Building. Tenant shall maintain and repair the Premises in good condition, including, without limitation, maintaining and repairing all walls, floors, and ceilings, all interior doors, partitions, and windows, and all Premises systems, fixtures, and equipment that are not the maintenance responsibility of Landlord, as well as damage caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees.
5.1.2 Landlord shall have no liability for failure to perform required maintenance and repair unless written notice is given by Tenant and Landlord fails to commence efforts to remedy the problem in a reasonable time. Landlord shall have the right to erect scaffolding and other apparatus necessary for the purpose of making repairs or alterations to the Building, and Landlord shall have no liability for interference with Tenant's use because of such work. Work may be done during normal business hours. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any interruption of services or interference with Tenant's occupancy caused by Landlord's maintenance and repair or any claim of constructive or other eviction of Tenant.
5.1.3 Landlord's cost of repair and maintenance shall be considered "operating expenses" for the purposes of Section 19, except that repair of damage caused by negligent or intentional acts or breach of this Lease by Tenant, its contractors, agents or invitees shall be at Tenant's expense.
5.2 Alterations.
5.2.1 Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises that affect the structure of the Building or any Building system (electrical, plumbing, mechanical or life safety), or install any wall or floor covering without Landlord's prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. With respect to any other alteration requested by Tenant, Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant's alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations (which contractor shall provide Landlord with such certificates of insurance as Landlord shall reasonably require, which certificates of insurance shall name both Landlord and Landlord's property manager as additional
Page 6
insureds), shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord. All such construction shall be performed in a manner which will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the Building. Any such alterations, wiring, cables, or conduit installed by Tenant shall at once become part of the Premises and belong to Landlord except for removable machinery and unattached movable trade fixtures and attached lab equipment. Landlord may at its option require that Tenant remove any alterations, wiring, cables or conduit installed by or for Tenant and restore the Premises to the original condition upon termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in connection with work being performed by Tenant in the Premises. Work by Tenant shall comply with all laws then applicable to the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any liens to attach to the Building or Tenant's interest in the Premises as a result of its activities or any alterations. Landlord may perform alterations to or change the configuration of the Building and other common areas.
5.2.2 Throughout the term of the Lease and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18 below, Landlord shall have a continuing right (but shall not be obligated) to make alterations and/or improvements to the common areas and any other portions of the Building for any purposes that Landlord deems necessary, in its reasonable business judgment, including, without limitation, alterations or improvements that will affect the operation, design, use or aesthetic of the Building. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to complete all such alterations and improvements so as to minimize, to the extent feasible, disturbance to Tenant.
SECTION 6 INDEMNITY, INSURANCE
6.1 Indemnity.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its managing agents and employees from any claim, liability, damage, or loss occurring in, on, or about the Premises, or any cost or expense in connection therewith (including attorney fees), arising out of (a) any damage to any person or property occurring in, on, or about the Premises, (b) use by Tenant or its agents, invitees or contractors of the Premises and/or the Building, and/or (c) Tenant's breach or violation of any term of this Lease. This indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
Landlord shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tenant and its agents and employees from any claim, liability, damage, or loss occurring in, on, or about the common areas of the Building, or any cost or expense in connection therewith (including attorney fees), arising out of (a) any damage to any person or property occurring in, on, or about the common areas of the Building, and/or (b) Landlord's breach or violation of any term of this Lease. This indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
6.2 Insurance.
Tenant shall carry liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, with limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) combined single limit bodily injury and property damage which insurance shall have an endorsement naming Landlord and Landlord's managing agent, if any, as an additional insured, cover the liability insured under Section 5.2.2 of this Lease and be in form and with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance and not "excess over" or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord. The policy shall not eliminate cross-liability and shall contain a severability of interest clause. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain on all of its personal property, tenant improvements (whether constructed by Landlord or Tenant), in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of "Broad Form" insurance, to the extent of at least full replacement value without any deduction for depreciation. Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time. Not more frequently than once each year, if, in the opinion of Landlord's lender or of the insurance consultant, the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Landlord's lender or Landlord's insurance consultant. Prior to
Page 7
occupancy, Tenant shall furnish a certificate evidencing such insurance which shall state that the coverage shall not be canceled or materially changed without thirty (30) days' advance notice to Landlord and Landlord's managing agent, if any. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a renewal certificate at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy.
SECTION 7 DAMAGE, WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
7.1 Fire or Casualty.
"Major Damage" means damage by fire or other casualty to the Building or the Premises which causes the Premises or any substantial portion of the Building to be unusable, or which will cost more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the pre-damage value of the Building to repair, or which is not covered by insurance. In case of Major Damage, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to the Tenant within thirty (30) days after such date. If this Lease is not terminated following Major Damage, or if damage occurs which is not Major Damage, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the condition existing just prior to the damage. Tenant shall promptly restore all damage to tenant improvements or alterations installed or paid for by Tenant or pay the cost of such restoration to Landlord if Landlord elects to do the restoration of such improvements. Unless the casualty was caused by Tenant, rent shall be reduced from the date of damage until the date restoration work being performed by Landlord is substantially complete, with the reduction to be in proportion to the area of the Premises not usable by Tenant.
7.2 Waiver of Subrogation.
Tenant shall be responsible for insuring its personal property and trade fixtures located on the Premises and any alterations or tenant improvements it has made to the Premises. Neither Landlord, its managing agent nor Tenant shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage caused by water damage, sprinkler leakage, or any of the risks that are covered by property insurance or could be covered by a customary broad form of property insurance policy, or for any business interruption, and there shall be no subrogated claim by one party's insurance carrier against the other party arising out of any such loss.
SECTION 8 EMINENT DOMAIN
If a condemning authority takes title by eminent domain or by agreement in lieu thereof a portion sufficient to render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant's use, then either party may elect to terminate this Lease effective on the date that possession is taken by the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, then rent shall be reduced for the remainder of the term in an amount proportionate to the reduction in area of the Premises caused by the taking. All condemnation proceeds shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemnation award because of the taking.
SECTION 9 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not assign or encumber its interest under this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's consent in writing. This provision shall apply to all transfers by operation of law, and to all mergers and changes in control of Tenant, all of which shall be deemed assignments for the purposes of this Section. No assignment shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent or perform other obligations required by this Lease, and no consent to one assignment or subletting shall be a consent to any further assignment or subletting. If Tenant proposes a subletting or assignment for which Landlord's consent is required, Landlord shall have the option of terminating this Lease and dealing directly with the proposed subtenant or assignee, or any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may at its sole discretion withhold consent to the subletting or assignment of the Premises to an existing occupant of the Building, to any prospective tenant with which the Landlord or Landlord's agents have negotiated within the previous six (6) months, or where any sublease will require any changes to any building systems. Tenant shall not advertise at a rate which is less than the Building's
Page 8
listed rate. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting provided the effective rental paid by the subtenant or assignee is not less than the current scheduled rental rate of the Building for comparable space and the proposed Tenant is compatible with Landlord's normal standards for the Building. If an assignment or subletting is permitted, any cash net profit, or the net value of any other consideration received by Tenant as a result of such transaction shall be paid to Landlord promptly following its receipt by Tenant. Tenant shall pay any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with a request for assignment or subletting, including reasonable attorney fees.
SECTION 10 DEFAULT, REMEDIES
10.1 Default.
Any of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant under this Lease (time of performance being of the essence of this Lease):
10.1.1 Tenant's failure to pay rent or any other charge under this Lease when due.
10.1.2 Tenant's failure to comply with any other term or condition within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord specifying the noncompliance. If such noncompliance cannot be cured within the ten (10)-day period, this provision shall be satisfied if Tenant commences correction within such period and thereafter proceeds in good faith and with reasonable diligence to complete correction as soon as possible but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's notice.
10.1.3 Failure of Tenant to execute the documents described in Section 16.1 or 16.3 within the time required under such Sections; failure of Tenant to provide or maintain the insurance required of Tenant pursuant hereto; or failure of Tenant to comply with any Laws as required pursuant hereto within twenty-four (24) hours after written demand by Landlord.
10.1.4 Tenant's insolvency, business failure, or assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Tenant's commencement of proceedings under any provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law or failure to obtain dismissal of any petition filed against it under such laws within the time required to answer; or the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of Tenant's properties or financial records.
10.1.5 Assignment or subletting by Tenant in violation of Section 9.
10.1.6 Vacation or abandonment of the Premises without the written consent of Landlord or failure to occupy the Premises within twenty (20) days after Landlord tenders possession.
10.2 Remedies for Default.
Upon occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section 10.1, Landlord shall have the right to the following remedies, which are intended to be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided under applicable law or under this Lease:
10.2.1 Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease, without prejudice to its right to damages for Tenant's breach. With or without termination, Landlord may retake possession of the Premises (using self-help or otherwise) and may use or relet the Premises without accepting a surrender or waiving the right to damages. Following such retaking of possession, efforts by Landlord to relet the Premises shall be sufficient if Landlord follows its usual procedures for finding tenants for the space at rates not less than the current rates for other comparable space in the Building. If Landlord has other vacant space in the Building, prospective tenants may be placed in such other space without prejudice to Landlord's claim to damages or loss of rentals from Tenant.
Page 9
10.2.2 Landlord may recover all damages caused by Tenant's default which shall include an amount equal to rentals lost because of the default, Lease commissions paid for this Lease, and the unamortized cost of any tenant improvements installed by or paid for by Landlord. Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages as they occur throughout the Lease term, and no action for accrued damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing. Landlord may elect in any one action to recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining term of the Lease. Such damages shall be measured by the difference between the rent under this Lease and the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the term, discounted to the time of judgment at the prevailing interest rate on judgments.
10.3 Landlord's Right To Cure Default.
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform under this Lease. All of Landlord's expenditures shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon demand with interest from the date of expenditure at the rate of 1 1/2 percent per month. Landlord's right to correct Tenant's failure to perform is for the sole protection of Landlord and the existence of this right shall not release Tenant from the obligation to perform all of the covenants herein required to be performed by Tenant, or deprive Landlord of any other right which Landlord may have by reason of default of this Lease by Tenant, whether or not Landlord exercises its right under this Section.
SECTION 11 SURRENDER, HOLDOVER
On expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver all keys to Landlord and surrender the Premises vacuumed, swept, and free of debris and in the same condition as at the commencement of the term subject only to reasonable wear from ordinary use.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, neither Landlord nor its managing agent or employees shall have any liability to Tenant for loss or damages to Tenant's property from any cause, nor arising out of the acts of other tenants of the Building or third parties, nor any liability for consequential damages, nor liability for any reason which exceeds the value of its interest in the Building.
SECTION 19 ADDITIONAL RENT
19.1 Additional Rent: Operating Expense Adjustment.
Tenant shall pay as additional rent Tenant's Proportionate Share of operating expenses and real property taxes for the Building. Effective January 1 of each year Landlord shall estimate the operating expenses and real property taxes. Monthly rent for that year shall be increased by one-twelfth of Tenant's Proportionate Share of operating expenses and real property taxes, provided that Landlord may revise its estimate during any year with reasonable cause and the additional estimate shall be payable as equal additions to rent for the remainder of the calendar year. Following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall compute Tenant's actual Proportionate Share of operating expenses and real property taxes and bill Tenant for any deficiency or credit Tenant with any excess collected. Tenant shall pay any such deficiency and Landlord shall pay any such credit within thirty (30) days after Landlord's billing, whether or not this Lease shall have expired or terminated at the time of such billing.
19.1.1 As used herein "real property taxes" as used herein shall mean all taxes and assessments of any public authority against the Building and the land on which it is located, the cost of contesting any tax and any form of fee or charge imposed on Landlord as a direct consequence of owning or leasing the Premises, including but not limited to, rent taxes, gross receipt taxes, leasing taxes, or any fee or charge wholly or partially in lieu of or in substitution for ad valorem real property taxes or assessments, whether now existing or hereafter enacted.
As used herein, "operating expenses" shall mean all costs of operating, maintaining, managing, replacing and repairing the Building as determined by standard real estate accounting practice, including, but not limited to: all water and sewer charges; the cost of natural gas and electricity provided to the Building; janitorial and cleaning supplies and services for the common areas of the Building; administration costs and management fees; superintendent fees; security services, if any; insurance premiums; licenses, permits for the operation and maintenance of the Building and all of its component elements and mechanical systems; ordinary and emergency repairs and maintenance, and the annual amortized capital improvement cost (amortized over such a period as Landlord may select but not shorter than the period allowed under the Internal Revenue Code and at a current market interest rate) for any capital improvements to the Building. "Operating expenses" shall also include all assessments under recorded covenants or master plans and/or by owner's associations. In the event the average occupancy level of the Building for any calendar year was or is not one hundred percent (100%) of full occupancy, then the estimated operating expenses and actual operating expenses for such year shall be proportionately adjusted by Landlord to reflect those costs which have occurred had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied during such year.
19.2 Disputes.
If Tenant disputes any computation of operating expenses in Section 19, it shall give notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after the notice from Landlord describing the computation in question, but
Page 12
in any event not later than thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to give such a notice, the computation by Landlord shall be binding and conclusive between the parties for the period in question. If Tenant gives a timely notice, the dispute shall be resolved by an independent CPA selected by Landlord whose decision shall be conclusive between the parties. Each party shall pay one- half of the fee of such CPA for making such determination except that if the adjustment in favor of Tenant: (a) does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the escalation amounts for the year in question, Tenant shall pay (i) the entire cost of any such third-party determination; and (ii) Landlord's out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses for personnel time in responding to the audit, (b) exceeds ten percent (10%) of the escalation amounts for the year in question, Landlord shall pay the entire cost of any such third-party determination. Nothing herein shall reduce Tenant's obligations to make all payments as required by this Lease. In no event shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant based on its calculation of additional rent or rent adjustments except and only the obligation to cause any correction to be made pursuant to this Section 19.2. Tenant shall maintain as strictly confidential the existence and resolution of any dispute regarding rent charges hereunder.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any release of Hazardous Materials in, on, or about the Premises that Tenant or Tenant's agents or employees become aware of during the term of this Lease, whether caused by Tenant, Tenant's agents or employees, or any other persons or entities. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local or state governmental authority or the United States Government.

This Amendment No. 2 of Lease (this “Amendment”) is made as of _November 27 , 2017, between Broadway Investors II, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Landlord”), and AbSci, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Hudson Building Office Lease dated August 11, 2016, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 of Lease dated January 20, 2017 (collectively, the “Lease”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease, except as provided in this Amendment.
B. Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant that certain space containing approximately 6,501 rentable square feet in Suite 300 of the building with an address of 101 E. Sixth Street, Vancouver, Washington 98660 (“Building”), and more particularly described in the Lease (the “Existing Space”).
C. Landlord and Tenant desire to, among other things, expand the Premises to include that certain space in Suite 320 consisting of approximately 747 rentable square feet, as more particularly described on the attached Exhibit “B-l” (the “Expansion Space”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1.Amendment of Lease
A.Expansion Space Commencement Date. Effective as of the date that Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant in the condition required herein (the “Expansion Commencement Date”) the Premises shall be deemed to include the Expansion Space such that the Premises shall consist of approximately 7,248 rentable square feet. The term of the Lease for the Expansion Space shall run coterminous with the term of the Lease for the Existing Space, such that the Lease shall expire as of December 10, 2021. The anticipated Expansion Commencement Date is October 1, 2017; provided that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Expansion Space on the anticipated Expansion Commencement Date, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delay in delivering possession.
B.As-Is Condition of Expansion Space and Allowance. Except as expressly provided in this Section 1.B., Tenant acknowledges that no representations respecting the condition of the Expansion Space have been made by Landlord or its agents to Tenant, it being expressly understood that Tenant shall accept the Expansion Space in its “as is” condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the Existing Space or Expansion Space. Subject to Tenants compliance with the provisions of Section 5.2 and Exhibit “C” of the
Page 11
original Lease, Tenant may make improvements to the Expansion Space. As an inducement to enter into this Amendment, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an “Improvement Allowance” in the amount of up to Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($20.00) per rentable square foot of the Expansion Space (approximately $14,940) to be used for improvements to the Expansion Space. In addition, Landlord shall finance up to (i) Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($18,000.00) for Tenant to move the existing low voltage wiring and sink from the Expansion Space to the adjacent Suite 330 in the Building (“Voltage Allowance”), and (ii) Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) for hard cost improvements to the Expansion Space incurred by Tenant in excess of the Improvement Allowance and the Voltage Allowance (“Additional Financed Allowance”). The Improvement Allowance, Voltage Allowance and Additional Financed Allowance are collectively referred to herein as the “Allowance”. In no event shall any portion of the Allowance be used to purchase Tenants inventory or as a set off against rent owing to Landlord by Tenant. Tenant shall have no right to any portion of the Allowance that it does not use as required herein by November 30, 2018, and Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse such unused portion.
The Allowance shall be paid directly to Tenant within thirty (30) days after (a) Landlord has received a detailed breakdown of the cost of Tenant’s improvements in the Expansion Space, (b) if necessary, a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the appropriate governmental authority indicating that Tenant’s construction work was performed in accordance with local and state codes and that the Expansion Space is acceptable for occupancy, (c) Landlord has received an affidavit from Tenant’s general contractor stating that all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, architects, engineers, and all other persons performing work or supplying materials and/or services on or about the Premises in connection with Tenant’s improvements have been paid in full and have waived all liens and claims arising as a result of such work, (d) Landlord has received approved notarized original final lien waivers for all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers and all other persons performing work or supplying materials on or about the Premises in connection with Tenant’s improvements in the Expansion Space, and (e) Tenant shall not be in arrears with regard to any rent or other charges which may be due or owing or otherwise in default of the Lease.
Tenant shall repay Landlord the Voltage Allowance and Additional Financed Allowance, as additional rent and along with monthly Base Rent, in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, amortized over the remaining term of the Lease, which principal amount shall incur interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. In the event Tenant is in default at any time under the Lease, the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued interest on the Voltage Allowance and Additional Financed Allowance shall be immediately due and payable.
Page 12
C.Base Rent. Beginning as of the Expansion Commencement Date and continuing through the remainder of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent with respect to the Premises as follows:
Period (Months) | Monthly Base Rent for Existing Space | Monthly Base Rent for Expansion Space | Total Monthly Base Rent | ||||||||
Expansion Commencement Date - 11/30/17* | $12,652.20 | Abated | $12,652.20 | ||||||||
12/1/17 - 12/31/17 | $12,652.20 | $1,867.50 | $14,519.70 | ||||||||
1/1/18 - 9/30/18 | $14,731.27 | $1,867.50 | $16,598.77 | ||||||||
10/1/18 - 12/31/18 | $14,731.27 | $1,923.53 | $16,654.80 | ||||||||
1/1/19 - 9/30/19 | $15,173.20 | $1,923.53 | $17,096.73 | ||||||||
10/1/19 - 12/31/19 | $15,173.20 | $1,981.24 | $17,154.44 | ||||||||
1/1/20 - 9/30/20 | $15,628.40 | $1,981.24 | $17,609.64 | ||||||||
10/1/20 - 12/31/20 | $15,628.40 | $2,040.68 | $17,669.08 | ||||||||

As reflected above, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent for the first (1st) two (2) full months with respect to the Expansion Space, commencing with the Expansion Space Commencement Date (the “Expansion Space Free Rent Period”) resulting in an abatement of monthly Base Rent in the amount of $1,867.50 per month. If the Lease is terminated during such Expansion Space Free Rent Period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such rent abatement after the date of termination nor shall Tenant be entitled to assert any right to rent abatement after such termination against any sums due Landlord. The rent abatement granted under this Section is solely for the benefit of the entity executing this Amendment as tenant and is not transferable to any assignee or subtenant. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease which results in early termination pursuant to the provisions hereof, then as a part of the recovery to which Landlord shall be entitled shall be included a portion of such rent which was abated under the provisions of this Section, which portion shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of rent which was abated under this Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the term of the Lease at the time of such default and the denominator of which is the number |
E.
Page 13
of months during the term of the Lease that Tenant is obligated to pay monthly Base Rent with respect to the Expansion Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Free Rent Period, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of operating expenses and real property taxes |

G.Addresses for Landlord. From and after the date hereof, the address for notices to Landlord shall be as follows: 101 East 6th Street, Suite 350, Vancouver, Washington 98660, Attn: Lance Killian.

B.Counterparts; Facsimile and Scanned Email Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and when each party has signed and delivered at least one such executed counterpart to the other party, then each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, and, when taken together with the other signed counterpart, shall constitute one agreement which shall be binding upon and effective as to all signatory parties. Facsimile and scanned e mail signatures shall operate as originals for all purposes under this Amendment.

AMENDMENT NO. 3 OF LEASE
This Amendment No. 3 of Lease (this “Amendment”) is made as of ____7/31__________, 2018, between Broadway Investors II, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Landlord”), and AbSci, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Hudson Building Office Lease dated August 11, 2016, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 of Lease dated January 20, 2017, and that certain Amendment No. 2 of Lease dated November 27, 2017 (collectively, the “Lease”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease, except as provided in this Amendment.
B. Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant that certain space containing approximately 7,248 rentable square feet in Suite 300 and Suite 320 of the building with an address of 101 E. Sixth Street, Vancouver, Washington 98660 (“Building”), and more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”).
C. In connection with the Lease, The Souther Company, an Oregon corporation, David Souther, an individual, and John Souther, an individual (collectively, “Guarantors”), executed that certain Guaranty (the “Guaranty”). Landlord, Tenant, and Guarantors desire to, among other things, provided for the delivery by Tenant to Landlord of a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in exchange for a release of the Guarantors’ liability under the Guaranty in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Amendment of Lease.
A. Letter of Credit. Concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, Tenant must deliver to Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) which conforms in form and substance to the attached Schedule “1” (or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and which:
(a) is issued by a United States federal or state chartered bank (“Issuer”) that: (i) is either a member of the New York Clearing House Association or is a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) has total assets of at least $10,000,000,000 as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“Total Assets”), or such lesser amount as accepted by Landlord in its sole discretion, and (iii) has a rating (“CAMELS Rating”) of 2 or higher under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (“UFIRS”) adopted by the Federal Financial Institution Council (“FFIEC”) and the Office of Banks and Real Estate, Bureau of Banks and Trust Companies (“Bureau”);
(b) names Landlord as beneficiary thereunder;
(c) has a term ending not less than one (1) year after the date of issuance;
(d) automatically renews for one-year periods unless Issuer notifies beneficiary in writing, at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date, that Issuer elects not to renew the Letter of Credit;
Page 20
(e) provides for payment to beneficiary of immediately available funds (denominated in United States dollars) in the amount of $250,000.00 within three (3) banking days after presentation of the Sight Draft substantially conforming to the form attached as Exhibit “A” to the Letter of Credit;
(f) provides that draws may be presented, and are payable, at Issuer’s letterhead office, or by facsimile or email to the addresses set forth on Issuer’s letterhead, if any, or such other facsimile number or email address provided to beneficiary;
(g) is payable in sight drafts which only require the beneficiary to state that the draw is payable to the order of beneficiary;
(h) permits partial and multiple draws;
(i) permits multiple transfers by beneficiary;
(j) waives any rights Issuer may have, at law or otherwise, to subrogate to any claims beneficiary may have against applicant or applicant may have against beneficiary; and
(k) is governed by INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES ISP98 (INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 590).
The Letter of Credit (as transferred, extended, renewed or replaced) must be maintained during the entire Lease Term, as extended or renewed, and for a period of sixty (60) days thereafter.
B. Transfer; Fees. Landlord may freely transfer the Letter of Credit in connection with an assignment of the Lease without: (i) Tenant’s consent, (ii) restriction on the number of transfers or (iii) condition, other than presentment to Issuer of the original Letter of Credit and a duly executed transfer document conforming to the form attached as Exhibit “B” to the Letter of Credit. Tenant is solely responsible for any bank fees or charges imposed by Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Letter of Credit or any transfer, renewal, extension or replacement thereof. If Tenant fails to timely pay such transfer fee, Landlord may, at its option and without notice to Tenant, elect to pay any transfer fees to Issuer when due, and upon payment, such amount will become immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent under the Lease.
C. Definition of Draw Event. “Draw Event” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) Tenant fails to pay fully any item of Rent as and when due;
(b) Tenant: (i) breaches or fails to timely perform any of its other obligations under the Lease, (ii) the breach or failure continues for a period of ten (10) days without regard to any cure period granted under the Lease and without regard to whether such breach or failure is determined (upon occurrence or at any later time) to be an Event of Default and (iii) Tenant has either failed to commence cure of the breach or failure or, if cure has been commenced, is not diligently pursuing such cure;
(c) Tenant fails to timely cause the Letter of Credit to be renewed or replaced as required in Section 1.E. below;
(d) An Issuer Quality Event as described in Section 1.F. below;
(e) An Event of Default under Section 10 of the Lease; or
Page 21
(f) Tenant holds over or remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term or termination of the Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent.
D. Draw and Use of Draw Proceeds. Immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more Draw Events, and at any time thereafter, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part (if partial draw is made, Landlord may make multiple draws), as Landlord may determine in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. The term “Draw Proceeds” means the cash proceeds of any draw or draws made by Landlord under the Letter of Credit. Any delays by Landlord in drawing on the Letter of Credit or using the Draw Proceeds will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit or the Draw Proceeds. Landlord will hold the Draw Proceeds in its own name and may co-mingle the Draw Proceeds with other accounts of Landlord or invest them as Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Issuer’s failure to timely honor a draw request shall be an Event of Default under the Lease.
In addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, use and apply all or any portion of the Draw Proceeds to pay Landlord for any one or more of the following:
(a) Rent or any other sum which is past due, due or becomes due, or to which Landlord is otherwise entitled under the terms of the Lease, whether due to the passage of time, the existence of a default or otherwise (including, without limitation, late payment fees or charges and any amounts which Landlord is or would be allowed to collect under the Lease, and without deducting therefrom any offset for proceeds of any potential reletting or other potential mitigation which has not in fact occurred at the time of the draw);
(b) any and all amounts incurred or expended by Landlord in connection with the exercise and pursuit of any one or more of Landlord’s rights or remedies under the Lease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs;
(c) any and all amounts incurred or expended by Landlord in obtaining the Draw Proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs; or
(d) any and all other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to or incurred by Landlord as a result of any Event of Default, Draw Event or other breach, failure or default by Tenant under the Lease.
To the extent that Draw Proceeds exceed the amounts so applied, such excess Draw Proceeds will be deemed paid to Landlord to establish a credit on Landlord’s books in the amount of such excess, which credit may be applied by Landlord thereafter (in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), to any of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under the Lease as and when they become due. Following any use or application of the Draw Proceeds, Tenant, if requested by Landlord in writing, must, within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s request, cause a replacement Letter of Credit complying with Section 1.A. above to be issued and delivered to Landlord; provided, however, that the amount of the replacement Letter of Credit will be an amount equal to the original amount of the Letter of Credit (as set forth in Section 1.A.(e) above) less any unapplied Draw Proceeds on the date the replacement Letter of Credit is issued. Upon Landlord’s receipt of the replacement Letter of Credit, Landlord will deliver the prior original Letter of Credit to Issuer for cancellation (if not theretofore fully drawn) and any unapplied Draw Proceeds will be applied in accordance with Sections 1.D.(a), (b), (c) and (d) above.
Page 22
If it is determined or adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding, that Landlord was not entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit, Tenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, cause Landlord to: (i) deliver the prior original Letter of Credit to Issuer for cancellation (if not theretofore fully drawn), (ii) return to Issuer the amount of the Draw Proceeds which the court, or other dispute resolution authority, determines Landlord was not entitled to draw and (iii) reimburse Tenant for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and interest expenses actually incurred by Tenant as a direct result of Landlord’s draw on the Letter of Credit (including without limitation the costs and expenses of providing a replacement Letter of Credit and any attorneys’ fees and expenses); provided, however, Tenant may exercise its exclusive remedy only after Tenant has: (y) cured all defaults under the Lease, if any, and (z) caused a replacement Letter of Credit complying with Section 1.A. above to be issued and delivered to Landlord. Landlord will not be liable for any other actual damages or any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred by Tenant in connection with either a draw by Landlord on the Letter of Credit or the use or application by Landlord of the Draw Proceeds. Nothing in the Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon Tenant any property rights or interest in any Draw Proceeds.
E. Renewal and Replacement. The Letter of Credit must provide that it will be automatically renewed unless Issuer provides written notice of nonrenewal to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit. If written notice of nonrenewal is received from Issuer, Tenant must renew the Letter of Credit or replace it with a new Letter of Credit, at least thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the then-current Letter of Credit. Any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit must meet the criteria set forth in Section 1.A. above, and must have a term commencing at least one day prior to the stated expiration date of the immediately prior Letter of Credit. Failure to provide a renewal or replacement Letter of Credit as provided above will, at Landlord’s election, be an Event of Default under the Lease.
F. Issuer Quality Event. If an Issuer Quality Event occurs, Tenant, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice from Landlord, must, at its own cost and expense, provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit meeting all of the requirements of Section 1.A. above. Failure to timely provide a replacement Letter of Credit shall, at Landlord’s election, be an Event of Default under the Lease. The term “Issuer Quality Event” means the Issuer fails to meet criteria set forth in Section 1.A.(a) above.
G. Additional Agreements of Tenant. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and Issuer, and Tenant has no right to submit a draw to Issuer under the Letter of Credit;
(b) Tenant is not a third-party beneficiary of such contract, and Landlord’s ability to either draw under the Letter of Credit for the full or any partial amount thereof or to apply Draw Proceeds may not, in any way, be conditioned, restricted, limited, altered, impaired or discharged by virtue of any Laws to the contrary, including, but not limited to, any Laws that restrict, limit, alter, impair, discharge or otherwise affect any liability that Tenant may have under the Lease or any claim that Landlord has or may have against Tenant;
(c) neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds will be or become the property of Tenant, and Tenant does not and will not have any property right or interest therein;
Page 23
(d) Tenant is not entitled to any interest on any Draw Proceeds;
(e) neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds constitute an advance payment of Rent, security deposit or rental deposit;
(f) neither the Letter of Credit nor any Draw Proceeds constitute a measure of Landlord’s damages resulting from any Draw Event, Event of Default or other breach, failure or default (past, present or future) under the Lease; and
(g) Tenant will cooperate with Landlord, at Tenant’s own expense, in promptly executing and delivering to Landlord all modifications, amendments, renewals, extensions and replacements of the Letter of Credit, as Landlord may reasonably request.
H. Restrictions on Tenant Actions. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights and claims that it may otherwise have at law or in equity, to contest, enjoin, interfere with, restrict or limit, in any way whatsoever, any requests or demands by Landlord to Issuer for a draw or payment to Landlord under the Letter of Credit. If Tenant, or any person or entity on Tenant’s behalf or at Tenant’s discretion, brings any proceeding or action to contest, enjoin, interfere with, restrict or limit, in any way whatsoever, any one or more draw requests or payments under the Letter of Credit, Tenant will be liable for any and all direct and indirect damages resulting therefrom or arising in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Nothing contained in this Section 1.H. shall preclude Tenant from instituting legal proceedings against Landlord for damages in connection with a wrongful draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord so long as such legal proceedings do not in any way contest, enjoin, interfere, restrict or limit Landlord’s draw request under the Letter of Credit.
I. Cancellation After End of Term. Provided that no Draw Event, Event of Default, or other breach or default under the Lease then exists, Landlord will deliver the Letter of Credit to the Issuer for cancellation within sixty (60) days after Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration of the Term.
2. Conditional Release of Guarantors. Upon Tenant’s deposit with Landlord of the Letter of Credit as required herein, Guarantors shall be deemed to be released from liability under the Guaranty, and Landlord shall send written notice to Guarantors of such release.
3. Tenant Representations
Tenant represents and warrants that:
A. Due Authorization. Tenant has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment without the consent of any other person or entity;
B. No Assignment. Tenant has not assigned the Lease, or sublet the Premises;
C. No Default. Tenant is not in default of the Lease and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not in default of the Lease;
D. Binding Effect. The Lease is binding on Tenant and is in full force and effect, and Tenant has no defenses to the enforcement of the Lease; and
E. Real Estate Brokers. There is no real estate broker or agent who is or may be entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the representation of Tenant in this Amendment and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and
Page 24
expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of such Tenant’s discussions, negotiations and/or dealings with any real estate broker or agent.
4. Generali Provisions
A. Attorneys’ Fees. If a suit or an action is instituted in connection with any dispute arising out of this Amendment or the Lease or to enforce any rights hereunder or thereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation for and the participation in any legal proceedings (including, without limitation, any arbitration proceedings or court proceedings, whether at trial or on any appeal or review), in addition to all other costs or damages allowed.
B. Counterparts; Facsimile and Scanned Email Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and when each party has signed and delivered at least one such executed counterpart to the other party, then each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, and, when taken together with the other signed counterpart, shall constitute one agreement which shall be binding upon and effective as to all signatory parties. Facsimile and scanned e mail signatures shall operate as originals for all purposes under this Amendment.
C. Effect of Amendment. The Lease is unmodified except as expressly set forth in this Amendment. Except for the modifications to the Lease set forth in this Amendment, the Lease remains in full force and effect. To the extent any provision of the Lease conflicts with or is in any way inconsistent with this Amendment, the Lease is deemed to conform to the terms and provisions of this Amendment.
D. Binding Effect. The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. No amendment, modification or supplement to this Amendment shall be binding upon the parties unless in writing and executed by Landlord and Tenant.
E. Integration. This Amendment contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters described herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements between them with respect to such matters.
F. Submission of Amendment. The submission of this Amendment for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to execute this Amendment by Landlord. This Amendment shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant. No act or omission of any officer, employee or agent of Landlord or Tenant shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.
