agents, contractors, employees or invitees except those liabilities arising out of the duties
and responsibilities of Landlord as set forth in this Lease, or liabilities arising from the

nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise.
13.5 No Representation: Landlord makes no representation that the
limits of liability specified to be carried by Tenant under the terms hereof are adequate to
protect Tenant; if Tenant deems this insurance to be inadequate, Tenant shall, at its own
expense, provide such additional insurance as necessary.
14.0 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO PREMISES: If the Demised Premises
are damaged by fire or other casualty, then Landlord may, at Landlord's option, exercised
in writing within thirty (30) days of written notice of damage from Tenant, elect to

improvements. Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent in fair proportion to the

occupancy and use. Provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to an
abatement of rent if such damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or Tenant's employees or invitees.
15.0 CONDEMNATION:
15.1 Entire Taking: If all of the Demised Premises or such portions of
the Building as may be required for the reasonable use of the Demised Premises are
taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date title
vests in the condemning authority. In the event of a taking of a material part of but less
than all of the Building, where Landlord shall determine that the remaining portions of the
Building cannot be economically and effectively used by it (whether on account of
physical, economic, aesthetic or other reasons) or where Landlord determines the
Building should be restored in such a way as to materially alter the Premises, Landlord
shall forward a written notice to Tenant of such determination not more than sixty (60)
days after the date of taking. The term of this Lease shall expire upon such date as
Landlord shall specify in such notice but not earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of
such notice.
15.2 Partial Taking: Subject to the provisions of the preceding section
15.1, in case of taking of a part of the Demised Premises or a portion of the Building not
required for the reasonable use of the Demised Premises, then this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, and the Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion
by which the floor area of the Demised Premises is reduced, such Rent reduction to be
14
iAsharedVegal assistanNower leaseslcity of yakima ste 880 lease.doc
7/15/2013
effective as of the date title to such portion vests in the condemning authority. If a portion
of the Demised Premises shall be so taken which in Tenant's reasonable judgment
renders the remainder of the Demised Premises unsuitable for continued occupancy by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord
no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking, and the term of this Lease shall
expire upon such date as Tenant shall specify in such notice not later than sixty (60) days
after the date of such notice.
15.3 Awards and Damages: Landlord reserves all rights to damages to
the Premises for any partial, constructive or entire taking by eminent domain, and Tenant

for termination of the leasehold interest or interference with Tenant's business. Tenant
shall have the right, however, to claim and recover from the condemning authority
compensation for any loss to which Tenant may be put for Tenant's moving expenses,
business interruption or taking of Tenant's personal property and leasehold improvements
paid for by Tenant (not including Tenant's leasehold interest) provided that such damages
may be claimed only if they are awarded separately in the eminent domain proceedings
and not out of or as part of the damages recoverable by Landlord.
16.0 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING;
16.1 Neither Tenant nor its successors or assigns shall transfer, assign,
mortgage or encumber this Lease, by operation of law or otherwise, or sublet or permit
the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, to be used by others, without the prior written
consent of Landlord in each instance. If Tenant is a corporation whose shares are not
regularly traded on a public stock exchange, or if Tenant is a limited liability company, any
transfer of any of Tenant's issued and outstanding capital stock or any issuance of
additional capital stock, or any transfer of membership units, as a result of which the
majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock or membership units of Tenant is held
by a corporation, firm, or person or persons who do not hold a majority of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Tenant on the date hereof, shall be deemed an assignment
under this section 16. If Tenant is a partnership, then any transfer of an interest in the
partnership resulting in the withdrawal of a partner or the addition of a new partner, and
regardless of whether it results in a change of management, shall be deemed an
assignment under this section 16 unless each withdrawing partner and each new
partner, as the case may be, acknowledge in writing his /her /its liability for the
performance of Tenant's obligation hereunder for the balance of the lease term and such
writing is delivered to Landlord at or prior to the effective date of said transfer. Any
attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgaging or encumbering of this Lease in
violation of the foregoing shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person. No
15
is \shared \legal assistant \tower leases \city of yakima ste 880 lease doc
7/15/2013
permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this
Lease.
16.1.1 If, without complying with the provisions of section 16.1 above, this
Lease is transferred or assigned by Tenant, or if the Demised Premises, or any
part thereof, are sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether as a
result of any act or omission by Tenant, or by operation of law or otherwise,
Landlord, whether before or after the occurrence of an event of default, may, in
addition to, and not in diminution of or substitution for, any other rights and
remedies under this Lease or pursuant to law to which Landlord may be entitled as
a result thereof, collect rent from the transferee, assignee, subtenant or occupant
and apply the net amount collected to the basic rent and additional charges herein
reserved, but no such transfer, assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection
shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this section or the acceptance of the
transferee, assignee, subtenant, or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant
from the further performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.
16.1.2 Transfers Incident to Corporate Mergers, Reorganizations, etc.:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant has the
right to assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises in whole or in part to any
subsidiary, affiliate or successor corporation or partnership, without Landlord's
consent, upon giving Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice of such
assignment or subletting. A "subsidiary" of Tenant shall mean any corporation or
limited liability company not less than fifty percent (50 %) of whose outstanding
voting stock or voting membership units shall at the time be owned, directly or
indirectly, by Tenant. An "affiliate" of Tenant shall mean any corporation or limited
liability company which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under
common control with Tenant. For purpose of the definition of "affiliate ", the word
"control" (including "controlled by" and "under common control with "), as used with
respect to any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or association
shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policy of a particular corporation, limited liability
company, partnership or association, whether through the ownership of voting
securities or by contract or otherwise. A "successor corporation or partnership"
shall mean any corporation, limited liability company or partnership into which
Tenant is merged or with which Tenant is consolidated or to which all or a
substantial portion of Tenant's assets are transferred.
16.2 The consent by Landlord to any assignment, transfer, or subletting to
any party, including a subsidiary, affiliate or successor corporation, limited liability
company or partnership shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from the
16
iAshared \legal assistant \tower leases \city of yakima ste 880 lease.doc
7/15/2013
terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, nor shall the collection or
acceptance of rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute
a waiver or release of Tenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor
shall any such assignment or subletting be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the
consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting. In the event that
the Tenant defaults hereunder, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord the rent due from any
subtenant of Tenant and hereby authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly
to Landlord.
Tenant shall not mortgage or encumber this Lease without the prior written
consent of Landlord.

time during the term of this Lease, the Tenant shall have entered into a Lease of storage
space in the basement of The Tower Building or other storage areas of the Building
Complex, said Storage Lease and this Lease are agreed to be so integrated that any
default of the Tenant in the payment of rents or other charges under the Storage Lease
will automatically constitute a default under the terms of this Lease, and any default of the
Tenant in the payment of rents or other charges under this Lease shall automatically
constitute a default under the terms of said Storage Lease. It is further understood and
agreed that in the event of the termination of this Lease, either by mutual agreement of
the parties, by expiration of the term or otherwise (whether voluntary or Involuntary), the
Storage Lease shall automatically terminate as of the same date, but not the converse,

of commercial office space.

18.1 Cumulative Remedies: All rights of Landlord herein enumerated
shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. In
addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to restrain

to Tenant within which to cure any other default hereunder which is capable of being

17
is \shared \legal assistant \tower leases \city of yakima ste 880 lease doc
7/15/2013
Tenant commences to cure within ten (10) days and for so long as Tenant is diligently
prosecuting the cure thereof. It is further agreed that after service of notice as above set

Landlord's costs and expenses including attorneys fees not to exceed Two Hundred
Dollars ($200.00) for the preparation and service of such notice.
18.3 Abandonment: Abandonment means an absence from the
Demised Premises of five (5) days or more while Tenant is in default or Landlord
otherwise reasonably determines that Tenant has abandoned the Demised Premises and
its interest under this Lease. Abandonment by Tenant shall be considered a default with
no right to cure allowing Landlord to re -enter the Demised Premises under section 18.4.
18.4 Landlord's Re- entry: Upon an uncured default of this Lease by
Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may enter the Demised Premises or any part thereof and
expel, remove or put out Tenant or any other persons who may be thereon, together with
all personal property found therein, or Landlord may terminate this Lease, or it may from
time to time, without terminating this Lease and as agent of Tenant, relet the Demised
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term less than or
extending beyond the term hereof) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other
terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right
to repair, remodel and change the Demised Premises with Tenant remaining liable for
any deficiency computed as provided in section 18.5. Landlord's option to relet the
Demised Premises pursuant to section 18.5 shall not require It to relet the Demised
Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building. In the case of any default,
re -entry and /or dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, all Rent and
Additional Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re -entry
or dispossession, together with such expenses as Landlord may reasonably incur for
attorneys fees, advertising expenses, brokerage fees and /or putting the Demised

and including, but not limited to, attorneys fees, advertising fees and brokerage fees and
to the payment of any repairs, remodeling and changes in the Demised Premises; third,

after so applying said Rents there is any deficiency in the Rent or Additional Rent to be
paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord monthly on

iAshared \legal assistant \tower leases \city of yakima ste 880 lease.doc
7/15/2013
the dates specified herein, and any payment made or suits brought to collect the amount
of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to
collect the deficiency for any subsequent month. Subject to Landlord's duty to mitigate
damages, which duty shall be limited in the event of other vacant space in the Building
during the continuance of such default, the failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any
part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability hereunder nor shall
Landlord be liable for failure to relet or, in the event of reletting, for failure to collect the
Rent thereof, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of net Rents
collected over sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. No such re -entry or
taking possession of the Demised Premises shall be construed as an election on
Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any
time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach and default.
Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any default, in addition to
any other remedy it may have, it may recover from Tenant the amount of Rent and
Additional Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the Term as it may have been
extended in excess of the then fair market rental value of the Demised Premises for the
same period plus all court costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in

and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed
of trust secured by the Building. Accordingly, in the event that any installment of Rent,
Additional Rent or other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall not be received
by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days of the due date thereof, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an administrative handling charge of five percent (5 %) of the
amount thereof for each late payment. Acceptance of such administrative handling
charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect
to such overdue amounts nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies granted in this Lease.
Any Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable by Tenant under this
Lease which shall not be paid upon the due date thereof shall bear interest at a rate equal
to three (3) percentage points above the prime rate of interest published or announced
from time to time by Key Bank of Washington, or its successor or, in the absence of an
established prime rate, five (5) percentage points over that bank's rate of one (1) year

applicable laws calculated from the original due date thereof to the date of payment.

other sums payable by Tenant, time periods for Tenant's or Landlord's performance

beyond Tenant's or Landlord's reasonable control.

AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. '�—L
For Meeting of: 8/20/2013
ITEM TITLE: Resolution concerning Administration; authorizing the City
Manager to execute a Lease Agreement between The Tower,
LLC and the City of Yakima to provide office space to house
the Capitol Theatre staff.
SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Cutter, City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City leases space from The Tower, LLC in the downtown Tower building to provide office
space for the Capitol Theatre staff members. Due to reductions in staff support for the Capitol
Theatre and in an effort to reduce Theatre operating overhead, the City and The Tower, LLC
have agreed upon a reduced lease space within the Tower building that will adequately house
the Capitol Theatre staff and also reduce the cost of leased space from $37,000 annually to
$21,888 annually. The new Lease will replace the previous agreement and will allow the
Theatre staff to remain in the premises they previously occupied, but with a reduction in the
leased area and in the monthly rent.
