Lessee shall maintain the Premises in a clean, orderly and neat fashion and to a standard established for other similar Parks properties (provided that Lessee shall not be responsible for maintaining those portions of the Premises that are City's responsibility to maintain under terms of this Lease), permitting no objectionable odors to be emitted from the Premises and shall neither commit waste nor permit any waste to be committed thereon. Lessee shall not permit any accumulation of trash on or about the Premises. Lessee shall not create or contribute to the creation of a nuisance in or near the Premises.

When the center is not open to the public, the Lessee may also allow the use of the Premises to outside organizations or individuals, provided Lessee has first obtained written authorization from the Superintendent. 6.1.2 The Lessee is authorized to use the Premises for the carrying out of its board meetings and may permit the use of the Premises for regular or special meetings of its committees and subcommittees, and may permit its use for fund raising activities supporting the overall mission of the Lessee without paying a rental fee. 6.1.3 The Lessee may permit use of the Premises on a short-term rental basis to organizations and individuals, or other clients (hereinafter called "Renters"). Lessee shall not use the Premises for any purpose whatsoever other than the uses specifically permitted herein (collectively, the "Permitted Use"). 6.1.4 Renters shall be defined as any private or public individuals or firms that desire to rent space at the center for activities and events that are lawful and consistent with the public purposes stated above. The Lessee will market and process all facility rental requests from such Renters. This includes handling and responding to all calls and written requests, booking the dates, providing the staffing to set up and supervise these events as appropriate, and ensuring the facility is returned to an acceptable condition.

If any lien is so filed against the Premises, Lessee shall either cause the same to be fully discharged and released of record within ten (10) days after City's written demand therefore or, within such period, provide City with cash or other security acceptable to City in an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the amount of the claimed lien as security for its prompt removal. City shall have the right to disburse such security to cause the removal of the lien if City deems such necessary, in City's sole discretion. 6.7 Hazardous Substances .

Lessee acknowledges its understanding that there may be City-planned utility outages affecting the Premises and that such outages may interfere, from time to time, with Lessee's use of the Premises. City shall endeavor to provide Lessee with not less than fortyeight (48) hours prior written notice of any City-planned electricity outage in the Premises.

Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount and validity of any taxes by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving Lessee of its covenant to pay any such taxes. City shall not be subjected to any liability or for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceeding brought by Lessee, and Lessee hereby covenants to indemnify and hold City harmless from any such costs or expenses. The indemnification obligation of this subsection shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 9. Alterations by Lessee . 9.1 Lessee shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises without first submitting to the City professionally prepared plans and specifications for such work and obtaining City's prior written approval thereof.

Except as provided in Section 13 with regard to concurrent negligence, Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold City harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, liens, costs, penalties and expenses (including attorneys' fees, but without waiver of the duty to hold harmless) arising from or out of Lessee's performance of such alterations, additions and improvements, including, but not limited to, all which arise from or out of Lessee's breach of its obligations under terms of this Section 9. 9.2 Alterations . All alterations, additions and improvements (expressly including all light fixtures; heating and ventilation units; floor, window and wall coverings; and electrical wiring), except Lessee's moveable trade fixtures and appliances and equipment not affixed to the Premises (including without limitation: furniture, computers, point of sale systems and registers) shall become the property of City at the expiration or termination of this Lease without any obligation on its part to pay for any of the same. At City's request, Lessee shall execute a deed or bill of sale in favor of City with respect to such alterations and/or improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall remove all or any portion of such alterations and/or improvements on the expiration or termination of this Lease if City specifically so directs, in writing, at the time of City's issuance of its approval thereof. Within ninety (90) days after the completion of any alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises, Lessee shall deliver to City a full set of "as-built" plans of the Premises showing the details of all alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises by Lessee. 10.

Lessee shall at its own expense, at all times, keep the Premises and areas immediately adjacent thereto, including the paved exterior walkways and entry ways that surround the perimeter of the building in a neat, clean, safe, and sanitary condition; and keep the glass of all windows and doors serving the building and the areas identified in the foregoing sentence clean and presentable. Lessee shall furnish all cleaning supplies and materials needed to operate such areas in the manner prescribed in this Lease. Lessee shall be responsible for all services necessary to meet the Lessee's obligation to maintain the Premises and keep the paved exterior walkways and entry ways that surround the building free of litter and clean of spills resulting from Lessee's operations. Lessee may utilize its own staff to meet this obligation, but shall contract for a professional cleaning service, if in the opinion of the City, such service is necessary to adequately maintain such areas. The Lessee will seek the approval by the City of any such professional cleaning service prior to entering into such arrangement. The City's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.3 Failure to Comply with Custodial Service Obligation. If, Lessee fails to meet the obligations of Section 10.2, and after City has provided written notice of Lessee's failure to comply with that Section, the City may in its sole discretion, elect to perform said work, or may contract for an outside service. In the event that the City elects to perform the work or contract with an outside service, Lessee shall promptly reimburse the City for its actual and reasonable cost thereof as an Additional Charge. 10.4 Major Repairs. All major repairs necessary to maintain the Premises and excluded areas in a reasonably good operating condition, as determined by City, shall be performed by City at its expense. Major repairs include the structural aspects and exterior of the Premises, the Common Areas, graffiti clean up, and the heating, ventilation, utility, electric and plumbing and other systems and equipment serving the Premises. The foregoing sentence does not extend to maintenance occasioned by an act or omission of Lessee or its officers, agents, employees, or contractors. Except in the event of City's gross negligence or intentional misconduct, there shall be no abatement or reduction of rent arising by reason of City's making of repairs, alterations or improvements. 10.5 Prohibition Against Installation or Integration of Any Work of Visual Art on Premises Without City's Consent . City reserves to and for itself the right to approve or disapprove of the installation or integration on or in the Premises of any "work of visual art," as that term is defined in the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, as now existing or as later amended, and to approve or disapprove of each and every agreement regarding any such installation or integration. Lessee shall not install on or integrate into, or permit any other person or entity to install on or integrate into, the Premises any such work of visual art without City's prior, express, written consent. City's consent to the installation of any such art work may be granted upon one or more conditions, or withheld at the City's discretion. 10.6 Lessee's Indemnification of City Against Liability under Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 . Lessee shall protect, defend, and hold City harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions or causes of action, damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising as a consequence of (a) the installation or integration of any work of visual art on or into the Premises; or (b) the destruction, distortion, mutilation or other modification of the art work that results by reason of its removal; or (c) any breach of Subsection 10.5 of this Lease; or (d) any violation of the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, as now existing or hereafter amended; by Lessee or any of its officers, employees or agents.

Lessee may install approved permanent exterior signage. Temporary signs or banners not more than twenty-four (24) square feet in size may be displayed on or about the Premises to advertise a special event beginning two (2) weeks immediately before the event advertised, through the conclusion of such event. New exterior signage shall include the Premises' name, Lessee's name and the Parks logo and shall be constructed in a style and size consistent with the Parks sign policy. Preexisting internal and external signage that has been installed prior to the execution of this lease are exempt from this requirement. 11.3 Recognition . Lessee shall include a statement and the Parks logo in its printed materials stating, in effect, that: "We would like to thank Seattle Parks and Recreation for providing a location for Hutchinson Community Center." 12. Surrender of Premises . 12.1 General Matters . At the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, Lessee shall return the Premises to City in the same condition in which received on the Commencement Date and agreed upon by both parties pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Lease (or, if altered, then the Premises shall be returned in such altered condition unless otherwise directed by City pursuant to Section 9), reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation damages not resulting from or contributed to by negligence of Lessee, excepted. Prior to such return, Lessee shall remove its moveable trade fixtures and appliances and equipment that have not been attached to the Premises, and shall repair any damage resulting from their removal. In no event shall Lessee remove floor coverings; heating or ventilating equipment; lighting equipment or fixtures; or floor, window or wall coverings, unless otherwise specifically directed by City in writing at the time when City's approval of their installation is issued. Lessee's obligations under this Section 12 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, Lessee shall indemnify, defend (using legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City) and save City, City's officers, agents, employees and contractors, and other occupants of the Premises harmless from all claims, suits, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities and expenses (including City's actual and reasonable personnel and overhead costs and attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims, regardless of whether such claims involve litigation) resulting from any actual or alleged injury (including death) of any person or from any actual or alleged loss of or damage to, any property arising out of or in connection with (i) Lessee's occupation, use or improvement of the Premises, or that of any of its employees, agents or contractors, (ii) Lessee's breach of its obligations hereunder, or (iii) any act or omission of Lessee or any subtenant, licensee, assignee or concessionaire of Lessee, or of any officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of any of the same in or about the Premises. Lessee agrees that the foregoing indemnity specifically covers actions brought by its own employees. This indemnity with respect to acts or omissions during the Lease Term shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity is specifically and expressly intended to, constitute a waiver of Lessee's immunity under Washington's Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide City with a full and complete indemnity from claims made by Lessee and its employees, to the extent of their negligence. Lessee shall promptly notify City of casualties or accidents occurring in or about the Premises. CITY AND LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13. 13.2 Lessee's Release of Claims . Lessee hereby fully and completely waives and releases all claims against City to the extent a loss or damage is covered by insurance for any losses or other damages sustained by Lessee or any person claiming through Lessee resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises, including but not limited to any defect in or failure of Building equipment; any failure to make repairs; any defect, failure, surge in, or interruption of Building facilities or services; any defect in or failure of Common Areas; broken glass; water leakage; the collapse of any Building component; or any act, omission or negligence of co-tenants, licensees or any other persons or occupants of the Premises. 13.3 Limitation of Lessee's Indemnification . In compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Lease, all provisions of this Lease pursuant to which City or Lessee (the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify the other (the "Indemnitee") against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project, development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Premises, (i) shall not apply to damages caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Indemnitee, its agents or employees, and (ii) to the extent caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee's agents or employees, and (b) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitor's agents or employees, shall apply only to the extent of the Indemnitor's negligence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the limitations on indemnity set forth in this section shall automatically and without further act by either City or Lessee be deemed amended so as to remove any of the restrictions contained in this section no longer required by then applicable law. 14. Insurance. 14.1 Lessee's Insurance Coverages and Limits . Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, and cause its Subtenant(s), if any, to maintain in full force and effect the following minimum limits of insurance throughout the entire Lease Term: 14.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) written on an occurrence form at least as broad as ISO CG 00 01, with Minimum Limits of Liability: $1,000,000 per Occurrence $2,000,000 General Aggregate $2,000,000 Products/Completed Operations Aggregate $1,000,000 Personal/Advertising Injury Liability $ 1,000,000 Damage to Premises Rented to You Employers Liability / Washington Stop $1,000,000 Each Accident / Each Disease / Policy Limit Alternatively, may be evidenced as Employer's Liability insurance under Part B of a Workers Compensation insurance policy.

The limits of liability described above are minimum limits of liability only. Regardless of provisions to the contrary under the terms of any insurance policy maintained by Lessee, the specification of any such minimum limits shall neither be (1) intended to establish a maximum limit of liability to be maintained by Lessee as respects this Agreement, nor (2) construed as limiting the liability of any of Lessee's insurers, which must continue to be governed by the stated limits of liability of the relevant insurance policies. 14.1.2 Automobile Liability insurance at least as broad as ISO CA 00 01 including coverage for owned, nonowned, leased or hired vehicles as applicable, with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury and property damage. 14.1.3 Workers' Compensation insurance securing Lessee's liability for industrial injury to its employees in accordance with the provisions of Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington. 14.1.4 Property Insurance under which the Lessee's furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and inventory ("Business Personal Property") and all alterations, additions and improvements that Lessee makes to the Premises are insured throughout the Lease Term in an amount not less than the replacement cost new thereof, against the following hazards: (i) loss from the perils of fire and other risks of direct physical loss (excluding earthquake), not less broad than provided by the insurance industry standard "Causes of Loss Special Form (ISO form CP 1030 or equivalent); (ii) loss or damage from water leakage or sprinkler systems now or hereafter installed in or on the Premises; (iii) loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels, or above-ground oil or gasoline storage tanks or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed on the Premises; (iv) loss from business interruption or extra expense, with sufficient coverage to provide for the payment of Rent and Additional Charge and other fixed costs during any interruption of Lessee's business. City shall be named as a loss payee as respects property insurance covering the alterations, additions and improvements under such policy. 14.1.5 During such time as Lessee is engaged in the performance of tenant improvements or other renovation of the Premises, the Lessee shall maintain in full force and effect "All Risks" Builder's Risk Property insurance or equivalent for the portion of the Premises under renovation, including fire and flood, on a replacement cost new basis subject to a deductible of no more than $50,000 each loss. It shall be Lessee's responsibility to properly coordinate with the City's Risk Management Division for the placement of Builder's Risk Property insurance prior to any new construction on, or structural alteration of, the Premises. 14.1.6 In the event that the City deems insurance to be inadequate to protect Lessee and the City, Lessee shall increase coverages and/or liability limits as the City shall deem reasonably adequate within sixty (60) days after the date of written notice. 14.2 City's Property Insurance Coverage and Limits . 14.2.1 City will maintain at its expense Property Insurance or self-insurance under which the Premises, excluding Lessee's Business Personal Property and tenant improvements, are insured throughout the Lease Term in an amount not less than the replacement cost new thereof, against the following hazards: (i) loss from the perils of fire and other risks of direct physical loss (including earthquake), not less broad than provided by the insurance industry standard "Causes of Loss Special Form (ISO form CP 1030 or equivalent); (ii) loss or damage from water leakage or sprinkler systems now or hereafter installed in or on the Premises; (iii) loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels, or above-ground oil or gasoline storage tanks or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed on the Premises. City's Property Insurance currently is subject to a $250,000 deductible for most claims. Lessee shall be responsible to pay the deductible to the proportional extent to which the loss or damage is attributable to Lessee's negligent acts. 14.2.2 The City may change the terms of its insurance in Sections 15.2 at any time based on market conditions, with no compensation due to the Lessee. 14.3 General Requirements for Lessee's Insurance . 14.3.1 The CGL insurance and, in addition, Excess and/or Umbrella liability insurance, if any, shall include "The City of Seattle, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers" as additional insureds. Lessee's insurance shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance maintained by or available to the City. The term "insurance" in this paragraph shall include insurance, self-insurance (whether funded or unfunded), alternative risk transfer techniques, capital market solutions or any other form of risk financing. 14.3.2 Coverage shall not be cancelled without forty-five (45) day written notice of such cancellation, except ten (10) day written notice as respects cancellation for non-payment of premium, to the City at its notice address except as may otherwise be specified in Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 48.18.290 (Cancellation by insurer.). The City and the Lessee mutually agree that for the purpose of RCW 48.18.290 (1) (e), for both liability and property insurance the City is deemed to be a "mortgagee, pledge, or other person shown by (the required insurance policies) to have an interest in any loss which may occur thereunder." 14.3.3 Each insurance policy required hereunder shall be (1) subject to reasonable approval by City that it conforms with the requirements of this Section, and (2) be issued by an insurer rated A--: VII or higher in the thencurrent A. M. Best's Key Rating Guide and licensed to do business in the State of Washington unless procured under the provisions of chapter 48.15 RCW (Unauthorized insurers). 14.3.4 Any deductible or self-insured retention ("S.I.R.") must be disclosed to, and shall be subject to reasonable approval by, the City. Lessee shall cooperate to provide such information as the City may reasonably deem to be necessary to assess the risk bearing capacity of the Lessee to sustain such deductible or S.I.R. The cost of any claim falling within a deductible or S.I.R. shall be the responsibility of Lessee. If a deductible or S.I.R. for CGL or equivalent insurance is not "fronted" by an insurer but is funded and/or administered by Lessee or a contracted third party claims administrator, Lessee agrees to defend and indemnify the City to the same extent as the City would be protected as an additional insured for primary and noncontributory limits of liability as required herein by an insurer. 14.4 Waiver of Subrogation . Unless such waiver would void the property insurance coverage to be provided pursuant to this section, the City and Lessee waive all subrogation rights each may have against the other, or any subtenant, for damages caused by fire or other perils to the extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to this section or other property insurance applicable to the Premises. 14.5 Evidence of Insurance . On or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter not later than the last business day prior to the expiration date of each such policy, the following documents must be delivered to City at its notice address as evidence of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Lessee: 14.5.1 Certification of insurance documenting compliance with the coverage, minimum limits and general requirements specified herein; and 14.5.2 A copy of the policy's declarations pages, showing the insuring company, policy effective dates, limits of liability and the Schedule of Forms and Endorsements specifying all endorsements listed on the policy including any company-specific or manuscript endorsements; 14.5.3 A copy of the CGL insurance policy provision(s) documenting the City of Seattle and its officers, elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds (whether on ISO Form CG 20 26 or an equivalent additional insured or blanket additional insured policy wording), showing the policy number, and the original signature and printed name of the representative of the insurance company authorized to sign such endorsement; 14.5.4 Pending receipt of the documentation specified in this Section 14, Lessee may provide a copy of a current complete binder. An ACORD certificate of insurance will not be accepted in lieu thereof. Original certification of insurance shall be issued to: Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation Contracts Administration and Support Office ATTN: Suzanne Simmons, Grants and Contracts Coordinator 800 Maynard Ave S, 3 rd Floor Seattle, Washington, 98134 14.5.5 Assumption of Property Risk. The placement and storage of Lessee's Business Personal Property in or about the Premises shall be the responsibility, and at the sole risk, of Lessee. 14.5.6 Adjustments of Claims: The Lessee shall provide for the prompt and efficient handling of all claims for bodily injury, property damage or theft arising out of the activities of the Lessee under this Agreement. 14.5.7 Lessee's Responsibility: The procuring of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the Lessee's liability under the Lease. 15. Assignment or Sublease. 15.1 Lessee shall not sublet or encumber the whole or any part of the Premises, nor shall this Lease or any interest thereunder be assignable or transferable by operation of law or by any process or proceeding of any court or otherwise without the prior written consent of City, whose consent shall be given or withheld in its sole discretion. The granting of consent to a given transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the consent requirement as to future transfers. Any assignment or sublease, without City's prior written consent, at City's option, shall be void. No assignment or sublease shall release Lessee from primary liability hereunder. Each assignment and sublease shall be by an instrument in writing in form satisfactory to City. If Lessee is a corporation, then any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or any direct or indirect change, in the ownership of, or power to vote the majority of, Lessee's outstanding voting stock, shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Lease. If Lessee is a partnership, then a change in general partners in, or voting or decision-making control of, the partnership shall also constitute an assignment. This provision does not preclude Lessee from subcontracting out for routine maintenance and programming services. 16. Assignment by City . If City sells or otherwise transfers the Premises, or if City assigns its interest in this Lease, such purchaser, transferee, or assignee thereof shall be deemed to have assumed City's obligations under this Lease arising after the date of such transfer, and City shall thereupon be relieved of all liabilities under this Lease arising thereafter, but this Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. Lessee shall attorn to City's successor, which assumes and agrees to perform all of City's obligations under this Lease. 17. Destruction . If the Premises are rendered partially or totally untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within twenty-four (24) months from the date of the occurrence, then if insurance proceeds or self-insurance coverages are available to pay the full cost of the repairs (except for the deductible amounts) City shall repair the Premises with due diligence; otherwise City may elect to terminate this Lease. Rent and Additional Charges shall be abated in the proportion that the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole thereof, as the City determines, for the period from the date of the casualty to the completion of the repairs. If the damage to the Premises is uninsured or cannot be repaired within twenty-four (24) months from the date of the occurrence, City or Lessee may terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the other. If thirty percent (30%) or more of the Building is destroyed or damaged, then regardless of whether the Premises are damaged or not, Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to City. City shall advise Lessee of City's election to terminate by giving notice to Lessee thereof within thirty (30) days after the occurrence. In the event of damage by casualty, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to its own personal property. Except in the event of City's gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Lease, City shall not be liable to Lessee for damages, compensation or other sums for inconvenience, loss of business or disruption arising from any repairs to or restoration of any portion of the Premises. 18. Eminent Domain . 18.1 Taking . If all of the Premises are taken by Eminent Domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the date Lessee is required to vacate the Premises and all Rent and Additional Charges shall be paid to that date. The term "Eminent Domain" shall include the taking or damaging of property by, through or under any governmental or statutory authority, and any purchase or acquisition in lieu thereof, whether the damaging or taking is by government or any other person. If a taking of any part of the Premises by Eminent Domain renders the remainder thereof unusable for the business of Lessee, in the reasonable judgment of City, the Lease may, at the option of either party, be terminated by written notice given to the other party not more than thirty (30) days after City gives Lessee written notice of the taking, and such termination shall be effective as of the date when Lessee is required to vacate the portion of the Premises so taken. If this Lease is so terminated, all Rent and Additional Charges shall be paid to the date of termination. Whenever any portion of the Premises is taken by Eminent Domain and this Lease is not terminated, City, at its expense, shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore, to the extent of available proceeds and to the extent it is reasonably prudent to do so, the remainder of the Premises to the condition they were in immediately prior to such taking, and Lessee, at its expense, shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to restore its personal property and all improvements made by it to the Premises to the same condition they were in immediately prior to such taking, to the extent award is available therefor. The Rent and Additional Charges payable hereunder shall be reduced from the date Lessee is required to partially vacate the Premises in the same proportion that the Rentable Area taken bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises prior to taking. 18.2 Award . Except as otherwise provided below, City reserves all right to the entire damage award or payment for any taking by Eminent Domain, and Lessee waives all claim whatsoever against City for damages for termination of its leasehold interest in the Premises or for interference with its business. Lessee hereby grants and assigns to City any right Lessee may now have or hereafter acquire to such damages and agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment as City, from time to time, may request. Lessee, however, shall have the right to claim from the condemning authority all compensation that may be recoverable by Lessee on account of any loss incurred by Lessee in moving Lessee's merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment and the cost of restoring its personal property and improvements made by it to the Premises. 19. Default by Lessee . 19.1 Definition . If Lessee violates, breaches, or fails to keep or perform any term, provision, covenant, or any obligation of this Lease; or if Lessee files or is the subject of a petition in bankruptcy, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for Lessee's assets or if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if Lessee is adjudicated insolvent, or becomes subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law whether domestic or foreign, or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise; then Lessee shall be deemed in default ("Default"). 19.2 City Remedies . If Lessee has defaulted and such Default continues or has not been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Superintendent within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been provided to Lessee, then City shall have the following nonexclusive rights and remedies at its option: (1) to cure such default on Lessee's behalf and at Lessee's sole expense and to charge Lessee for all actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by City in effecting such cure as an Additional Charge; (2) to terminate this Lease; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's obligation (other than monetary obligations and other than vacation or abandonment of the Premises) is such that more than thirty (30) days is required for performance, then Lessee shall not be in default if it commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. 19.3 Reentry by City Upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease, City may reenter the Premises, take possession thereof, and remove all persons therefrom, for which actions Lessee shall have no claim thereon or hereunder. Lessee shall be liable and shall reimburse City upon demand for all actual and reasonable costs and expenses of every kind and nature incurred in retaking possession of the Premises. If City retakes the Premises, City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein and may place the same in storage at any place selected by City, including a public warehouse, at the expense and risk of Lessee. City shall have the right to sell such stored property, after reasonable prior notice to Lessee or such owner(s), after it has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied first, to the cost of such sale; second, to the payment of the charges for storage, if any; and third, to the payment of any other sums of money that may be due from Lessee to City; the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. 19.4 Vacation or Abandonment. If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises in their entirety and fails to reoccupy them within thirty (30) days after City (1) delivers a notice to Lessee's notice address set forth in Section 1.8 above demanding such reoccupancy and (2) mails by certified or registered mail a copy of the notice to any forwarding address given by Lessee to City in writing, Lessee shall be in default under this Lease. 19.5 City's Non-exclusive Remedies upon Termination due to Default of Lessee . Notwithstanding any reentry by City and anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event of the termination of this Lease due to the Default of Lessee, the liability of Lessee for all sums due under this Lease provided herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term of this Lease. Lessee shall also be liable to City for any other amount (excluding consequential or specific damages) necessary to compensate City for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such Default, and any costs incurred in authorizing others the use and occupancy of the Premises and in preparing the Premises for such use and occupancy, and such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of Washington. The provisions of this Subsection 19.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 20. City's Remedies Cumulative; Waiver . City's rights and remedies hereunder are not exclusive, but cumulative, and City's exercise of any right or remedy due to a default or breach by Lessee shall not be deemed a waiver of, or alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy that City may have under this Lease or by law or in equity. Neither the acceptance of rent nor any other act or omission of City at any time or times after the happening of any event authorizing the cancellation or forfeiture of this Lease shall operate as a waiver of any past or future violation, breach or failure to keep or perform any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or to deprive City of its right to cancel or forfeit this Lease, upon the written notice provided for herein, at any time that cause for cancellation or forfeiture may exist, or be construed so as to estop City at any future time from promptly exercising any other option, right or remedy that it may have under any term or provision of this Lease. 21. Default by City . City shall be in default if City fails to perform its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of nonperformance from Lessee; provided, that if the default cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, City shall not be in default if City commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. Upon City's default, Lessee may pursue any remedies at law or in equity that may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of Washington. 22. Termination for Convenience . Notwithstanding anything else in this Lease to the contrary, the City may, at any time and without liability of any kind to Lessee, terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessee if the City determines that the Premises are required for a different public purpose. 23. Attorneys' Fees . If either party retains the services of an attorney in connection with enforcing the terms of this Lease, each party agrees to bear its own attorneys' fees and costs. 24. Access by City . City and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any reasonable time to examine the same, and to show them to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements, additions or improvements to the Premises as City may deem necessary or desirable. If Lessee is not personally present to permit entry and an entry is necessary in an emergency, City may enter the same by master key or may forcibly enter the same, without rendering City liable therefor, except in the event of City's gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to impose upon City any duty of repair or other obligation not specifically stated in this Lease. Lessee shall change the locks to the Premises only through City and upon paying City for all actual and reasonable costs related thereto. 25. Holding Over . Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto, any holding over by Lessee after the expiration of the Lease Term, whether or not consented to by City, shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Either party may terminate any holdover tenancy by written notice delivered to the other party not later than twenty (20) days prior to the end of the final month. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease without City's written consent, Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City from all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant arising out of such failure. Lessee's obligations under this paragraph shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease. 26. Notices . Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be given in writing to the party's address set forth in Subsections 1.6 and 1.7 hereof by any of the following means: (a) personal service; (b) commercial or legal courier; or (c) registered or certified, first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Such addresses may be changed by notice to the other parties given in the same manner as above provided. Notices shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of actual receipt, as evidenced by the deliverer's affidavit, the recipient's acknowledgment of receipt, or the courier's receipt, except in the event of attempted delivery during the recipient's normal business hours at the proper address by an agent of a party or by commercial or legal courier or the U.S. Postal Service but refused acceptance, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of the day of attempted delivery, as evidenced by the messenger's affidavit of inability to deliver stating the time, date, place and manner in which such delivery was attempted and the manner in which such delivery was refused, or on the day immediately following deposit with such courier or, if sent pursuant to subsection (c), forty-eight (48) hours following deposit in the U.S. mail. 27. Successors or Assigns . All of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements of this Lease shall extend to and be binding upon City, Lessee and, subject to the terms of Sections 14 and 16, their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns, and upon any person or persons coming into ownership or possession of any interest in the Premises by operation of law or otherwise. 28. Authority and Liability . Lessee warrants that this Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee, and that Lessee has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Lease and perform its obligations hereunder. Lessee covenants to provide City with evidence of its authority and the authorization of this Lease upon request. All persons and entities named as Lessee herein shall be jointly and severally liable for Lessee's liabilities, covenants and agreements under this Lease. 29. Partial Invalidity . If any court determines that any provision of this Lease or the application hereof to any person or circumstance is, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each other term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 30. Force Majeure . Neither City nor Lessee shall be deemed in default hereof nor liable for damages arising from its failure to perform its duties or obligations hereunder if such is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to an act of Nature, act of civil or military authority, fire, flood, windstorm, earthquake, strike or labor disturbance, civil commotion, delay in transportation, governmental delay, or war; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not excuse Lessee from the timely payment of Rent and Additional Charges due hereunder, when due. 31. Counterparts . This parties may execute this Lease in counterparts, which, taken together, constitute the entire Lease. 32. Headings . The section headings used in this Lease are used for purposes of convenience and do not alter in any manner the content of the sections. 33. Context . Whenever appropriate from the context, the use of any gender shall include any other or all genders, and the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. 34. Execution by City and Lessee; Effective Date . Neither City nor Lessee shall be deemed to have made an offer to the other party by furnishing the other party with a copy of this Lease with particulars inserted. No contractual or other rights shall exist or be created between City and Lessee until all parties hereto have executed this Lease and the appropriate legislative authority approves it. This Lease shall become effective on the date (the "Effective Date") on which this Lease is executed by City and Lessee and approved by the Seattle City Council. City shall have no liability to Lessee and shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Lessee if this Lease is legislatively disapproved. 35. Time of Essence; Time Calculation Method . Time is of the essence with respect to this Lease. Except as otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Lease to the word "day" means a "calendar day"; provided, however, that if the final day for any action required hereunder is a Saturday, Sunday or City holiday, such action shall not be required until the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or City holiday. Any reference in this Lease to the word "month" means "calendar month." 36. Continuous Operation . Lessee shall keep the Premises open and use them to transact business with the public daily during hours as designated below or as otherwise may be designated by the Superintendent. Subject to the Superintendent's prior reasonable approval, Lessee may, upon posting a written notice to the public of not less than one (1) week in duration prior to any approved closure, close the Premises or a portion thereof for a reasonable period for repairs or any approved remodeling, or for taking inventory. Lessee shall close to accommodate reasonable operational requirements of City's business, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessee, and Lessee shall immediately close in the case of any emergency as determined by the Superintendent; provided, however, that if Lessee shall close pursuant to this sentence at the direction of City, and if Lessee remains closed at the direction of City for more than three (3) days, then Lessee's Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated for the duration of the closure in the proportion that the number of days of the closure bears to the number of days of the month. Lessee shall furnish an approved sign at the Premises entrance advising the public of any approved closure, unless closed at the direction of City. Approved hours of operation of the business conducted on the Premises are as follows:
37. Standards . Lessee recognizes that, although it is operating its facilities as an independent operator, Parks is organized and exists for the purpose of maintaining park and recreation facilities for the use and enjoyment of the general public. Lessee, its agents and employees, will devote their efforts toward rendering courteous service to the public as though they were employees of the City, with a view of adding to the enjoyment of the patrons of this recreational facility. Lessee shall operate and conduct the facilities on the Premises in a businesslike manner, and will not permit any conduct on the part of Lessee's employees, which would be detrimental to City's operations. 38. City's Control of Premises and Vicinity . All common and other facilities provided by City in or about the Premises are subject to the City's exclusive control and management by City. Accordingly, City may do any and all of the following (among other activities in support of Parks or other municipal objectives), all without incurring any liability whatsoever to Lessee: 38.1 Change of Vicinity .
