(c)    Survival. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

required to be carried by Sublandlord pursuant to Section 10 of the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, naming Sublandlord, Original Tenant and Master Landlord as additional insureds. Such insurance shall provide, among the other things required by the Master Lease, that it may not be canceled or amended except upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Sublandlord and Master Landlord.

11.    Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that because of the unique nature of this subletting, Subtenant shall have no right to sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof or to assign this Sublease without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, and that any attempted subletting or assignment not consented to by Sublandlord shall be null and void, shall be a material default hereunder and shall, at the sole option of Sublandlord and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord, cause this Sublease to immediately terminate but such termination shall not relieve Subtenant of its obligations under this Sublease, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay Rent.

Any sub-subletting shall also be subject to the consent and approval of the Master Landlord and Original Tenant.
12.    Sublandlord’s Consent to Certain Acts. Subtenant agrees that in any case where the provisions of the Master Lease, Original Sublease or this Sublease require the consent or approval of Master Landlord, Original Tenant or Sublandlord prior to the taking of any action, it shall be a condition precedent to the taking of such action that the prior consent or approval of Master Landlord, Original Tenant or Sublandlord, as the case may be, shall have been obtained. Sublandlord agrees that its consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in good faith with respect to obtaining the consent or approval of Master Landlord and/or Original Tenant when the same is required under the terms of the Master Lease or Original Sublease, provided that such cooperation shall in no event be deemed to include any obligation to initiate or otherwise participate in any suit, claim or any other action against Master Landlord. If Sublandlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligation for the payment of money in connection with such cooperation, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant within five (5) business days of demand therefor.
13.    Sublandlord’s Right to Cure Subtenant’s Default. Subtenant shall not cause or suffer any act or omission by any of its Agents or invitees which would cause the Master Lease to be terminated, or forfeited by virtue of any rights of termination, or forfeiture reserved or vested in Master Landlord, or by law or in equity. If Subtenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may remedy such default for the account and at the expense of Subtenant. If Sublandlord makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation for the payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant within five (5) business days of demand therefor.

If to Master Landlord or Original Tenant:
As provided in the Master Lease
Whenever in the Master Lease, a time is specified within which the Sublandlord, as “Tenant” must give Notice following an event, or within which the Sublandlord as “Tenant” must respond to any Notice previously given or made by the Master Landlord or comply with any obligation on the part of the Tenant, such time is hereby changed (as between Sublandlord and Subtenant for the purpose of this Sublease only) by subtracting three (3) business days therefrom, provided that in no event shall Subtenant have fewer than three (3) days to respond or comply. It is the purpose and intent of the foregoing provisions of this Section 18 to provide Sublandlord with time within which to transmit to the Master Landlord any notices or demands received from Subtenant and to transmit to Subtenant any notices or demands received from Master Landlord. Any Notices required to be delivered by either Sublandlord or Subtenant to the other under this Sublease that are not notices

If Master Landlord, or Original Tenant so consents, Subtenant may attorn to Master Landlord in connection any such termination and may execute an attorney agreement in such form as may reasonably be requested by Master Landlord or Original Tenant; provided, however that the attornment does not increase the Rent due under this Sublease, materially or adversely affect the use by Subtenant of the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, materially increase Subtenant’s other obligations under this Sublease or materially decrease Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease. In addition, Sublandlord and Master Landlord and Original Tenant shall not amend or modify the Master Lease or the Original Sublease in any manner so as to materially or adversely affect Subtenant or its interest hereunder, materially increase Subtenant’s obligations hereunder (and any increase in the amount of Rent resulting from such modification shall be deemed material) or materially restrict Subtenant’s rights hereunder, without the prior written consent of Subtenant.

If a Curable Default occurs and Tenant fails to cure the default within the applicable cure period or if any other default occurs, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, elect to terminate this Lease by notice, by lawful entry or otherwise, whereupon Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord a fee of $300 for each non-monetary Curable Default not cured within the applicable cure period. The fee shall be due and payable within 10 days after Landlord’s invoice and if not paid within that time period shall represent a monetary default and is intended to compensate Landlord for the additional time and effort required to address the breach.

 14





cured any such previous breaches after notice from Landlord, and within the applicable cure period), then Landlord may there-after, without further notice, exercise any remedies permitted by this Section 14 or by law, including termination of this Lease. Each right and remedy provided Landlord in this Lease is cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy provided in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The exercise by Landlord or any one or more such rights or remedies will not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies.

Insurance Default. If Tenant fails to maintain the required insurance, it is a Curable Default and the cure period is three business days after the date the failure occurs.
Estoppel or Subordination Default. If Tenant fails to provide the requested estoppel certificate (Section 15.3) or subordination agreement (Section 15.1) within the time period provided, it shall be a Curable Default and the cure period shall be three business days from the second request.

The above sums shall be due and payable immediately upon notice from Landlord without regard to whether the cost or expense was incurred before or after the termination of this Lease.

(d)Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 14.3.
14.5    Non-Termination of Lease. No act of Landlord other than a written declaration of termination of Lease shall serve to terminate this Lease. If there is a default hereunder and Tenant fails to cure it within any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and relet the Premises for Tenant’s account, without terminating the Lease. If Landlord reenters the Premises and does not elect to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month during the remaining Term representing the difference between the Rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease and the rent collected from the Premises by Landlord for such month. Separate actions may be maintained by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages which, at the commencement of any action, are then due and payable to Landlord under this Section 14 without waiting until the end of the Term of this Lease.
14.6    Reletting. If Tenant’s right of possession has been terminated (with or without termination of this Lease), Landlord may at any time, and from time to time, relet the Premises in whole or in part either in its own name or as agent of Tenant for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the then-current Term. All rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any amounts other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and of alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due hereunder. Upon a reletting of the Premises, Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any sums received by Landlord in excess of amounts payable in accordance with this Lease.
14.7    Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, Landlord may cure the default, at Tenant’s expense, immediately and without notice if Landlord believes the default creates a risk of damage to persons, property or the interests of others, or in any other case only upon Tenant’s failure to remedy such default within the applicable cure period, if any. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs of the cure with interest at the Default Rate.
14.8    Unpaid Sums and Service Charge. Any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall bear interest at 12% per annum (the “Default Rate”), calculated from the date due or expended until the date of payment. In addition, if any payment of Rent is not paid within 10 days of its 


 16





due date, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to the greater of $250 or 10% of the overdue amount as liquidated damages for Landlord’s extra expense and handling of such past due account.

If Landlord fails to cure the default within the cure period, Tenant shall have all rights and remedies available at law and in equity other than the right to terminate the Lease or any offsets against Rent. 
15.    PROTECTION OF LENDERS
15.1    Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any financing now existing or hereafter placed upon the Project by Landlord, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to interest thereon and all modifications thereof (each, a “Mortgage”). This provision shall be self-operative.

15.2    Attornment. If Landlord’s interest in the Premises is acquired by any ground lessor, holder of a Mortgage, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, or transferee thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease.

Tenant shall, within 10 days of demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) the commencement and the expiration date of the Term; (ii) the amount of Base Rent and the date to which it has been paid; (iii) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned or amended in any way (or specifying the date and terms of each agreement so affecting this Lease) and that no part of the Premises has been sublet (or to the extent such is not the case, a copy of any sublease); (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or if such is not the case, the extent and nature of such default); (v) on the date of such certification, there are no existing defenses or claims which Tenant has against Landlord (or if such is not the case, the extent and nature of such defenses or claims); (vi) the amount of the Security Deposit held by Landlord; and (vii) any other information a mortgagee or purchaser may reasonably request. It is intended that any such statement shall be binding upon Tenant and may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or mortgagee. If Tenant fails to provide the requested estoppel within 10 days after receipt of the request, in addition the provisions of Section 14: (a) Tenant shall be deemed to have given a certificate as above provided, without modification, and shall be conclusively deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee, and (b) Landlord may impose a fee of $100 per day for each day of delay in providing the statement by Tenant after the 10 day period. The estoppel certificate shall run to the benefit of all those Landlord specifies as addressees.
15.4    Notice. Tenant shall give written notice of any failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any


 18





deed of trust encumbering the Project whose name and address has been furnished to Tenant and such parties shall have the right but no obligation to cure the default on Landlord’s behalf. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such non-performance within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the cure.
16.    LIABILITY

In addition, if Landlord sells or otherwise transfers the Project to a new owner, the transferring Landlord shall not thereafter be named or sought after in any matter related to the Project relating to the time period after the transfer and responsibility for those matters shall automatically transfer to the new owner.
16.2    Tenant’s Business Interruption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s personal property or its business or any loss of income therefrom, whether such injury or loss results from conditions arising upon the Premises or the Project, or from other sources or places including any interruption of services and utilities or any casualty, condemnation, whether the cause of such injury or loss or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Landlord or Tenant.
16.3    WCM. If this Lease is signed by Washington Capital Management, Inc. (“WCM”), WCM signs the Lease in a representative capacity as manager of the limited liability company which is Landlord.

Tenant hereby appoints as its agent to receive the service of all dispossessory proceedings or proceedings to seize Tenant’s personal property and notices thereunder the person in charge of or occupying the Premises at the time, and, if no person shall be in charge of occupying the same, then such service may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance of the Premises. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a forwarding address following expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall be relieved of any obligation to forward any funds or items to Tenant.
17.2    Non-Waiver/Accord. Failure of Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances, upon strict performance of any term of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any provision of this Lease unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. Tenant specifically acknowledges that where Tenant has received a notice of default (whether Rent or non-rent), no acceptance by Landlord of Rent shall be deemed a waiver of such notice, and, acceptance by Landlord of partial Rent shall be deemed to waive or cure any Rent default. Landlord may, in its discretion, after receipt of partial payment of Rent, refund same and continue any pending 


 19





action to collect the full amount due, or may modify its demand to the unpaid portion. In either event, the default shall be deemed uncured until the full amount is paid in good funds. Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent and other charges stipulated herein shall be deemed to be on account of the earliest stipulated Rent or other charges. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord’s acceptance of such check or payment shall be without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or pursue any other remedy to which it is entitled.
17.3    Brokers. Except as specified in Section 1, if any, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord, it has not engaged any broker, finder or other person entitled to any commission or fee in respect of the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Lease, and Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against any claims for such commission arising out of agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Tenant. If any new leases, modifications to this Lease or other agreements are made between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall not have any obligation to pay any brokerage or finders fees to persons engaged by Tenant.
17.4    Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Lease supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements; the provisions of this Lease are intended by Landlord and Tenant as the final expression of their agreement; this Lease constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and no representations, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. No provisions of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by instrument in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant, or their respective successors in interest, concurrently with or subsequent to the date of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor anyone representing Landlord has made statements of any kind whatsoever on which Tenant has relied in entering into this Lease. Tenant has relied solely on its independent investigation and its own business judgment in entering into this Lease. Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and the remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
17.5    Force Majeure. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, time periods for Landlord’s or Tenant’s performance under any provisions of this Lease (except for the payment of money) shall be extended for periods of time during which the non-performing party’s performance is prevented due to circumstances beyond the party’s control, including strikes, embargoes, governmental regulations, inclement weather and other acts of God, war or other strife and no such delay in Landlord’s performance shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.
17.6    Tenant’s Audit Right. Tenant shall have the right to audit the current year’s expense statement issued by or on behalf of Landlord by written notice given to Landlord within 60 days after receipt of that statement. Such audit shall be conducted in the offices of Landlord’s property manager at the cost of Tenant. Tenant shall keep all of the information disclosed in the course of such audit confidential, and shall require all of its consultants to agree in writing directed to Landlord to keep all such information confidential. Tenant agrees that such audits shall not be permitted to be conducted on a contingency fee basis.
17.7    Heirs and Assigns. This Lease binds any party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Landlord or Tenant. However, Landlord shall have no obligations to Tenant’s successor unless the rights or interests of Tenant’s successor are acquired in accordance with the terms of this Lease including the restriction on assignment and subletting. If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each shall be deemed to be joint and several.


 20





17.8    Waiver of Self-Help. Tenant waives any statutory or common law right to self-help, including any right to make repairs to the Building or common areas.
17.9    Other Taxes. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all personal property taxes on Tenant’s property.
17.10    Adjustment. Landlord reserves the right to adjust the rentable area of the Premises set forth in Section 1 based on any future measurement of the Premises and Building by Landlord in accordance with commercially reasonable standards uniformly applied and if such area is adjusted, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Share, and the Security Deposit shall be automatically adjusted based on the new measurement.
17.11    Right to Change Public Spaces. Landlord reserves the right at any time, without thereby creating an actual or constructive eviction or incurring any liability to Tenant, to (a) close temporarily any common areas to make repairs or changes or to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, and (b) change the arrangement or location of public areas of the Project not contained within the Premises or any part thereof, including entrances, passageways, parking lots and other public service portions of the Project; provided that Tenant is not prevented from having access to the Premises.
17.12    Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for money damages by reason of any refusal, withholding or delaying by Landlord of any consent, approval or statement of satisfaction, and in such event, Tenant’s only remedies therefore shall be an action for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment, to enforce any right to such consent. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any requests by Tenant for consent.
17.13    Financial Statements. Within 20 days after written request from Landlord, but not more than two times per year, Tenant shall provide the most recent financial statements and tax returns for Tenant and any guarantor, assignee, or subtenant. The information shall remain confidential, subject to review by potential purchasers and lenders, who shall be instructed to maintain such confidentiality.
17.14    No Reservation/Counterparts. The submission of this Lease for examination, or for execution by Tenant, does not constitute a reservation or option to Lease the Premises and this Lease becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant. At Landlord’s election, this Lease may be executed in counterparts and when all counterparts are executed, the counterparts shall constitute a single binding instrument.
17.15    Authority. If Tenant is an entity rather than a person, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said entity or its constituents represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any entity resolutions or consents requested by Landlord to evidence such authority. Where Tenant is comprised of more than one person or entity, all covenants and obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be the joint and several covenants and obligations of each person or entity comprising Tenant. Any action permitted or required of Landlord under this Lease may, at Landlord’s election, be performed by Landlord’s property manager on Landlord’s behalf.
17.16    Relocation. Landlord shall have the option to relocate Tenant to other space of approximately the same size elsewhere in the Building, exercisable on 60 days written notice to Tenant. If Landlord exercises the option, (a) Landlord will arrange for the movers and pay the cost of the move, including the reprinting of stationary and including the cost of reconnecting the phone lines and 


 21





computers, and (b) a new floor plan shall be attached to this Lease and become a part hereof, and (c) all other provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
17.17    Utility Deregulation, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have sole control over the determination of which utility providers serve the Project, and Landlord shall have no obligation to give access or easement rights or otherwise allow onto the Project any utility providers except those approved by Landlord. If, for any reason, Landlord permits Tenant to purchase utility services from a provider other than Landlord’s designated company(ies), such provider shall be considered a contractor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall allow Landlord to purchase such utility service from Tenant’s provider at Tenant’s rate or at such lower rate as can be negotiated by the aggregation of Landlord’s tenants’ requirements for such utility.
17.18    Clean Air Act. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any portion of the Premises or the Building accessible for smoking. If Tenant wishes to make any portion of the Premises accessible to smoking, Tenant shall make all improvements necessary to comply with all applicable governmental regulations. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s indemnity contained in this Lease includes claims based on the presence of tobacco smoke as a result of the activities of Tenant, its employees, agents or guests.
17.19    Choice of Law and Venue. This Lease shall be governed by the law of the state where the Project is located and the parties agree that venue shall lie in King County, Washington.
17.20    Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Unless Landlord elects otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Lease constitute proprietary information of Landlord that Tenant will keep confidential. Tenant’s disclosure of the terms of this Lease could adversely affect Landlord’s ability to negotiate other leases and/or impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant will not directly or indirectly disclose the terms or conditions of this Lease to any person or entity other than Tenant’s employees, agents, lenders, attorneys or accountants who have a legitimate need to know such information and who also agree to keep the same confidential.
17.21    Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of any of the following applicable to the Project and any subsequent changes thereto: (a) CC&R’S, REA’s or other covenants recorded against the Project and any design guidelines referenced therein and any amendments thereto, and (b) any transportation management plan adopted for the Project and all amendments thereto.
17.22    Landlord’s Access. Landlord or its agents may enter the Premises to show the Premises to potential lenders, tenants or other parties, to make repairs, alterations or improvements, to inspect and conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant’s compliance with this Lease and applicable law; or for any other purpose Landlord deems necessary. Landlord shall give Tenant prior notice of such entry, except in the case of emergency. Landlord may place customary “For Sale” or “For Lease” signs in and about the Premises and Project.
17.23    Quiet Possession. If Tenant pays the Rent and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy the Premises for the full Term against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
17.24    Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation between the parties hereto, declaratory or otherwise to enforce this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay the costs thereof and attorneys’ fees actually incurred by the prevailing party, in such suit, at trial and on appeal. In addition, if Landlord engages counsel to enforce the terms of this Lease, including for the purpose of preparing a delinquency notice, Tenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord tor all costs incurred before the


 22





subject default is considered cured. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any other requests for Landlord’s consent.
17.25    Interpretation. The captions of sections or subsections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms and provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. The masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall each include the other. In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the Premises with Tenant’s expressed or implied permission. References to “including” shall mean “including without limitation”.
17.26    No Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease without prior written consent from Landlord. However, Landlord may require that a “Short Form” memorandum of this Lease executed by both parties be recorded.
17.27    Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to request a jury trial in any proceeding or counterclaim arising out of this Lease or Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. Tenant agrees that if Landlord commences any summary proceeding for non-payment of Rent or possession of the Premises, Tenant waives all right to interpose any counterclaim in such proceeding. Tenant further waives any right to remove said summary proceeding to any other court or consolidate said summary proceeding with any other action, whether brought before or after the summary proceeding.
17.30    Survival. The obligations of each party applicable to time periods prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease, including Landlord’s right to indemnification and defense from claims arising from matters occurring prior to termination even though the claim is asserted against Landlord after termination, and payment of amounts not finally calculated by the expiration/termination date.
17.31    Holding Over. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises upon termination or expiration of this Lease, and if Tenant obtains Landlord’s written consent to Tenant’s continued occupancy, then Tenant’s occupancy shall be deemed to be a month to month tenancy, with Base Rent due at a rate one and one half times the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder during the calendar month immediately preceding such termination or expiration (the “Latest Rate”) and Landlord may terminate such month to month tenancy upon 30 days notice to Tenant. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises upon termination or expiration of this Lease and if Tenant does not obtain Landlord’s written consent to Tenant’s continued occupancy, then Tenant shall be deemed a trespasser and shall be liable to Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord as a result thereof, together with Base Rate at a rate double the Latest Rate.
17.32    ERISA Contingency. If Exhibit E is attached to this Lease, then this Lease is contingent upon Tenant executing the ERISA Certificate set forth in Exhibit E and taking any other actions requested by Landlord to verify that this Lease is not a prohibited transaction under ERISA. Landlord will rely on the statements by Tenant contained in Exhibit E in agreeing to enter into this Lease. As a result, if Landlord later learns that any of the statements by Tenant on Exhibit E were not correct when made or are no longer correct, then (a) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.2, it shall be deemed an incurable default by Tenant under the Lease and Landlord may immediately terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to collect the damages described in Section 14, and (b) Tenant shall indemnity, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all damages, costs, or liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection with the false statements.


 23





17.33    Inducements. Any agreement by Landlord for possession of the Premises without the payment or reduced payment of Rent or other charges or for the giving or paying by Landlord to or for Tenant of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Tenant's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as “Inducement Provisions” are conditioned upon Tenant's full and faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant during the Term. If Tenant defaults hereunder and fails to cure the default within any applicable cure period, any Rent, other charges, bonus, inducement or consideration abated, given or paid by Landlord under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord and recoverable by Landlord as Additional Rent due under this Lease, notwithstanding any subsequent cure by Tenant.

B-1






CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

Landlord and BLUE CANYON TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Tenant”) are parties to the Lease dated January 17, 2014, as amended (the “Master Lease”), respecting the Premises therein described. Tenant desires to sublease all of the Premises (the “Sublease Premises”) to CWB HOLDINGS, INC., a Colorado corporation (“Subtenant”) in accordance with the terms of the foregoing, attached Sublease (the “Sublease”). Tenant and Subtenant request Landlord’s consent to the Sublease. Capitalized terms herein which are not defined shall have the definitions contained in the Master Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease, such consent being subject to and upon the following terms and conditions to which Tenant and Subtenant hereby agree:
1.The Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease, and all provisions thereof, including any subordination, attornment and nondisturbance terms, and Subtenant is bound by the Sublease to comply with the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. The Sublease constitutes the entire agreement between Tenant and Subtenant. There are no other oral or written agreements between the two parties with respect to the Sublease Premises.
2.The Master Lease is an agreement solely between Landlord and Tenant, and any and all rights and remedies of Subtenant, if any, shall be solely against Tenant. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Master Lease and the terms of the Sublease, the Master Lease shall prevail. Nothing is this Paragraph shall limit or negate the maintenance or other obligations of the Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease.
3.Subtenant does hereby expressly assume and agree to be bound by and to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Landlord, every obligation of Tenant under the Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises to the extent, applicable to Subtenant’s occupancy of the Sublease Premises (expressly excluding the rental rate and length of term which shall be governed by the Sublease). Notwithstanding the Sublease, or Landlord’s consent to it, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of rents and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant under the Master Lease.
4.The acceptance of rents by Landlord from Tenant, or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provisions of the Master Lease.
5.Subtenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord from any cause, including but not limited to damage to Subtenants business or property. Subtenant also waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord. Except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs (including attorneys’ fees) and damages arising in connection with the Sublease or the actions or omissions of Subtenant, its


Consent to Sublease, Page 1





agents, employees and invitees, including, without limitation, all Hazardous Materials placed on the property during the term of the Sublease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant is subject to the obligations of Section 6.4 of the Master Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials (as defined in the Master Lease) brought onto the Premises by Subtenant.
6.This Consent shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment and shall not relieve Tenant or any person claiming under or through Tenant of the obligation to obtain the consent of Landlord to any future assignment or sublease (including, without limitation, any future assignment of the Sublease or sublease of any portion of the Sublease Premises).
7.Any act or omission of Subtenant or anyone claiming under or through Subtenant that violates any of the provisions of the Master Lease shall be deemed a violation of the Master Lease by Tenant.

14.The prevailing party in any action brought in reference to this Consent shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs.

Sublandlord shall hold the Security Deposit as security for the performance of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease.

Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that Sublandlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage caused by the act or omission of Subtenant or Subtenant’s officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, or invitees, including future rent payments. If Sublandlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) business days after demand by Sublandlord, deposit with Sublandlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and any failure to do shall be a material default under this Sublease. If Subtenant performs every provision of this Sublease to be performed by Subtenant, the unused portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Subtenant or the last assignee of Subtenant’s interest under this Sublease within thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of the Term.

5.Possession and Condition of Premises. Possession of the Subleased Premises shall be delivered to Subtenant on the Sublease Commencement Date. It shall be the sole responsibility of Subtenant to obtain all zoning and occupancy permits and approvals required by any governmental entity for Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and the granting of such permits and approvals shall not be a condition of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease. If possession of the Subleased Premises is not delivered to Subtenant on the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant and the Sublease Commencement Date shall be postponed to the date on which Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Sublandlord shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection the enforcement of Master Landlord’s obligations as set forth in the the Master Lease; and (ii) Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any such out-of-pocket expenses Sublandlord actually incurs in connection with such enforcement at the request of Subtenant.
(b)Subordination. This Sublease is and shall be subject to and subordinate in all respects to the Master Lease and to all of its terms, covenants and conditions. Should

Sublandlord’s election not to exercise this right in the event of any one default shall not be deemed a waiver of Sublandlord’s right to enforce tills remedy in respect of any future default.
8.Indemnity.
(a)Subtenant Indemnity. Except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its Agents, Subtenant shall protect, indemnify and save and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all losses, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) of every kind and nature whatsoever, incurred by Sublandlord by reason of or arising out of (i) any accident, death, injury or damage which shall happen in, on, or in connection with, the Subleased Premises or any part thereof on or after the Sublease Commencement Date, or arising out of the condition, occupancy, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or operation of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof on or after the Sublease Commencement Date, (ii) any event of default under the Master Lease or this Sublease on Subtenant’s part, including without limitation the release by Subtenant or its Agents of any Hazardous Materials at, on, within, under, about or from the Subleased Premises, the Building, or the Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Subleased Premises, or elsewhere in connection with the transportation of Hazardous Materials to or from the Subleased Premises in violation of any Environmental Laws, or (iii) failure by Subtenant to vacate the Subleased Premises and surrender the Subleased Premises in the condition required under this Sublease on or before the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Sublease.

Subtenant shall provide and maintain during the Term, with an insurance company acceptable to Sublandlord and Master Landlord, all insurance required to be carried by Sublandlord pursuant to Section 10 of the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, naming Sublandlord and Master Landlord as additional insureds. Such insurance shall provide, among the other things required by the Master Lease, that it may not be canceled or amended except upon thirty (30) days notice to Sublandlord and Master Landlord. On or before the date which is one (1) day prior to the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord and Master Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the foregoing requirements.
10.Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that because of the unique nature of this subletting Subtenant shall have no right to sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof or to assign this Sublease without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in Sublandlord’s reasonable judgment, and that any attempted subletting or assignment not consented to by Sublandlord shall be null and void, shall be a material default hereunder and shall, at the sole option of Sublandlord and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord, cause this Sublease to immediately terminate but such termination shall not relieve Subtenant of its obligations under this Sublease, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent. In the event that Sublandlord consents to a subletting by Subtenant, Subtenant shall, during the term of such sub-subletting, pay all Base Rent hereunder directly to Sublandlord notwithstanding any other provisions of this Sublease to the contrary. Any sub-subletting shall be subject to the consent and approval of the Master Landlord.
11.Sub landlord’s Consent to Certain Acts. Subtenant agrees that in any case where the provisions of the Master Lease or this Sublease require the consent or approval of Master Landlord or Sublandlord prior to the taking of any action, it shall be a condition precedent to the taking of such action that the prior consent or approval of Master Landlord or Sublandlord, as the case may be, shall have been obtained. Sublandlord agrees that its consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in good faith with respect to obtaining the consent or approval of Master Landlord when the same is required under the terms of the Master Lease, provided that such cooperation shall in no event be deemed 


 7

If Sublandlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligation for the payment of money in connection with such cooperation, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant within five (5) business days of demand therefor.
12.Sublandlord’s Right to Cure Subtenant's Default. Subtenant shall not cause or suffer any act or omission by any of its Agents or invitees which would cause the Master Lease to be terminated, or forfeited by virtue of any rights of termination, or forfeiture reserved or vested in Master Landlord, or by law or in equity. If Subtenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may remedy such default for the account and at the expense of Subtenant. If Sublandlord makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation for the payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant within five (5) business days of demand therefor.
13.Brokerage Fees. Sublandlord is represented in this transaction by Jessica Cashmore and Neil Littmann of The Colorado Group, Inc. (“Sublandlord’s Broker”).

Whenever in the Master Lease, a time is specified within which the Sublandlord, as “Tenant” must give Notice following an event, or within which the Sublandlord as “Tenant” must respond to any Notice previously given or made by the Master Landlord or comply with any obligation on the pail of the Tenant, such time is hereby changed (as between Sublandlord and Subtenant for the purpose of this Sublease only) by subtracting three (3) business days therefrom, provided that in no event shall Subtenant have fewer than three (3) days to respond or comply. It is the purpose and intent of the foregoing provisions of this Section 18 to provide Sublandlord with time within which to transmit to the Master Landlord any notices or demands received from Subtenant and to transmit to Subtenant any notices or demands received from Master Landlord. Any Notices required to be delivered by either Sublandlord or Subtenant to the other under this Sublease that are not notices to or from Master Landlord under the Master Lease shall be given in a manner, and at the times provided, in this Sublease, without reference to the subtraction of days as provided in this Section 18.

19.Termination of Master Lease; Modification of Master Lease. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, during the Term, and provided that Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord shall not voluntarily terminate the Master Lease or take any action that would give the Master Landlord the right to terminate the Master Lease unless and until Master Landlord has agreed in writing to continue this Sublease in full force and effect as a direct lease between Master Landlord and Subtenant upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease for the balance of the Term hereof. If Master Landlord so consents, Subtenant shall attorn to Master Landlord in connection with any such termination and shall execute an attornment agreement in such form as may reasonably be requested by Master Landlord; provided, however, that the attornment agreement does not increase the Base Rent or Common Expenses due under this Sublease, materially or adversely affect the use by Subtenant of the Subleased Premises in accordance with 


 10





the terms of this Sublease, materially increase Subtenant's other obligations under this Sublease or materially decrease Subtenant's rights under this Sublease. In addition, Sublandlord and Master Landlord shall not amend or modify the Master Lease in any manner so as to materially or adversely affect Subtenant or its interest hereunder, materially increase Subtenant's obligations hereunder (and any increase in the amount of Base Rent and Common Expenses resulting from such modification shall be deemed material) or materially restrict Subtenant's rights hereunder, without the prior written consent of Subtenant.

Sublandlord agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Subtenant from any and all claims of liability asserted against Subtenant by a third party, including without limitation Master Landlord or any agency or instrumentality of the federal, state or local government, for bodily injury, including death, physical damage to or loss of use of property or cleanup activities to the extent required by applicable law (remedial or removal), arising from any Existing Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Subleased Premises.
(b)Subtenant Warranties. Except for small amounts of Hazardous Materials that may be generated by Subtenant or its Agents in connection with Subtenant’s use permitted hereunder (which, if applicable, shall be stored, used, generated and disposed of by Subtenant in compliance with the Master Lease and in compliance with all laws applicable to such Hazardous Materials), Subtenant warrants and represents:
(i)It is not engaged in any action resulting in generating, transporting, storing, trading or disposing of Hazardous Materials, and Subtenant agrees not to do so under this Sublease and will not knowingly permit others to engage in such a business at the Subleased Premises; and
(ii)It will not knowingly permit any person to use the Subleased Premises for disposal of Hazardous Materials.
(c)Subtenant Duties.

22.Counterparts and Facsimile. This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, which shall, when so executed and taken together, have the same force and effect as though all signatures appeared on a single document. At Sublandlord’s option, this Sublease may be executed and delivered by all or any of the parties hereto by facsimile, provided that the originally executed counterpart shall be delivered by hand or by overnight courier promptly thereafter.
23.Consent of Master Landlord: Master Lease Termination. This Sublease shall be contingent upon, and irrespective of execution by Sublandlord and Subtenant shall not be effective without, receiving a consent to this Sublease in substantial conformity with the Consent of Master Landlord attached hereto within fifteen (15) days after execution of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant.

Any Master Lease Termination and Lease would need to be mutually agreed upon between the Master Landlord, the Sublandlord and the Subtenant, and would not result in Subtenant’s loss of use of the Subleased Premises for the term set forth herein. Such Master Lease Termination and Lease, if any, must agreed upon by August 1, 2018, or the parties obligations to cooperate with such hereunder shall have expired and this Sublease (subject to Landlord’s Consent) shall continue in full force and effect for the Term.
