SECTION 9: INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY 
9.1.    Indemnity. 
9.1.1. The Port, its officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any
injury (including death) to any persons or for damage to any property regardless of how such
injury or damage be caused, sustained or alleged to have been sustained by the City or by

any agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensees or invitees of the City, as a result of any
condition (including existing or future defects in the Premises) or occurrence whatsoever
related in any way to the City's use or occupancy of the Premises and of areas adjacent thereto. 
9.1.2. Except as provided in Section 16, the City shall defend (with counsel
approved by the Port), fully indemnify, and hold entirely free and harmless the Port and its
Commissioners, officers, agents and employees from any and all loss, damages, expenses,

everything whatsoever arising from the condition the Premises or out of the occupancy by the

or damage to any party however caused in or about the Premises or upon the sidewalks adjacent

any fault or negligence by the City or any agent, contractor, licensee, or invitee of the City or of
any officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of any such person; and (d) any failure on the

provided, however, nothing herein shall require the City to indemnify the Port from any
accident, injury, death or damage arising out of the sole negligence of the Port or its
Commissioners, officers, agents and employees. The City agrees that the foregoing indemnity
specifically covers actions brought by its own employees, and thus the City expressly waives its
immunity under industrial insurance, Title 51, as necessary to effectuate this indemnity. 
9.1.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1.2, in the event of
the concurrent negligence of the City, any of its officers, employees, agents, contractors or
licensees on the one hand and the negligence of the Port, its employees, agents, or contractors
on the other hand, which concurrent negligence results in injury or damage to persons or
property of any nature and howsoever caused, and relates to the construction, alteration, repair,
addition to, subtraction from, improvement to or maintenance of the Premises such that RCW
4.24.115 is applicable, the City's obligation to indemnify the Port as set forth in this Section
shall be limited to the extent of the City's negligence and that of any of the City's officers,
agents, employees, contractors or licensees, including the City's proportional share of costs,
court costs, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and expenses incurred in connection with any
claim, action or proceeding brought with respect to such injury or damage. 
9.1.4. THE CITY AND PORT AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS
PROVISION IS THE PRODUCT OF MUTUAL NEGOTIATION. The City's obligations
under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

9.2.1. The City of Seattle maintains a fully funded self-insurance program (see
Exhibit C: City of Seattle Self-Insurance Documentation), approved by the State of
Washington, for the protection and handling of the City's liabilities including injuries to
persons and damage to property. The Port acknowledges, agrees and understands that the City
is self-funded for all of its liability exposures. The City agrees, at its own expense, to maintain,
through its self-funded program, coverage for all of its liability exposures for this license. The
City agrees to provide the Port with at least 30 days prior written notice of any material change
in the City's self-funded program and will provide the Port with a letter of self-insurance as
adequate proof of coverage. The Port further acknowledges, agrees and understands that the
City does not purchase Commercial General Liability insurance and is a self-insured
governmental entity; therefore the City does not have the ability to add the Port as an additional
insured. Should the City elect to cease self-insuring its liability exposures and purchase

Commercial General Liability insurance, the City agrees to add the Port as an additional
insured. 
SECTION 10: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE 
10.1.   Prohibition. The City shall not, in whole or in part, assign, sublet, or license all or
any part of the Premises. The prohibition against assigning, subleasing or licensing contained in
this Section 10 shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment, subleasing or
licensing by operation of law. 
10.2.   Both Parties agree in advance that the City shall permit Low Income Housing
Institute to operate and maintain the facilities as described in Section 4.1; the City shall share
with the Port the signed agreement between the City of Seattle and Low Income Housing
Institute upon the Port's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City acknowledges and
agrees that the agreement between the City and Low Income Housing Institute does not
constitute a subtenant or assignee relationship under the Lease and, as between the Port and the
City, the City shall remain the sole responsible party as tenant under the Lease. 
SECTION 11: DEFAULT 
11.1.   Defaults. Time is of the essence of this Lease. The occurrence of any one or more
of the following events constitutes a default of this Lease by the City with or without notice
from the Port: 
11.1.1. The failure by the City to make any payment of Rent, or any other
payment required by this Lease, when due. 
11.1.2. The failure by the City to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or
agreement to be observed or performed by the City in this Lease. 
11.2.   Remedies. 
11.2.1. Whenever any default continues unremedied in whole or in part for thirty
(30) days after written notice is provided by the Port to the City (or for ten (10) days after
written notice in the case of default for failure to pay any Rent, or other required payment when
due), this Lease and all of the City's rights under it will automatically terminate if the written
notice of default so provides. Upon termination, the Port may reenter the Premises using such
force as may be necessary and remove all persons and property from the Premises. The Port
will be entitled to recover from the City all unpaid Rent or other payments and damages
incurred because of the City's default ("Termination Damages") from the date such
Termination Damages are incurred by the Port until paid. 
11.2.2. If upon any reentry permitted under this Lease, there remains any personal
property upon the Premises, the Port, in its sole discretion, may remove and store the personal
property for the account and at the expense of the City. In the event the Port chooses to remove
and store such property, it shall take reasonable steps to notify the City of the Port's action. All
risks associated with removal and storage shall be the City's. The City shall reimburse the Port
for all expenses incurred in connection with removal and storage as a condition to regaining
possession of the personal property. The Port has the right to sell any property which has been
stored for a period of 30 days or more, unless the City has tendered reimbursement to the Port
for all expenses incurred in removal and storage. The proceeds of sale will be applied first to
the costs of sale (including reasonable attorney's fees), second to the payment of storage
charges, and third to the payment of any other amounts which may then be due and owing from
the City to the Port. The balance of sale proceeds, if any, will then be paid to the City. 
11.2.3. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of the Port
contained in this Lease shall be construed and held to be distinct, separate and cumulative, and
no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and the Port shall have the right to pursue any
one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in
equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. 
SECTION 12: TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR DEFAULT

12.1.   Condemnation. 
12.1.1. Total Taking. In the case of a taking by eminent domain of either all of the
Premises or such portion of the Premises of which the Premises are a part as shall, in the Port's
sole judgment, be required for reasonable use of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of such taking. If the City is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease on
said date, any Rent prepaid by the City shall, to the extent allocable to any period subsequent to
the effective date of the termination, be promptly refunded to the City. 
12.1.2. Partial Taking. In the case of a taking of a portion of the Premises which
are not, in the Port's sole judgment, required for reasonable use of the Premises, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. 
12.1.3. Damages. The Port reserves all right to the entire damage award or
payment for taking by eminent domain, and the City waives all claim whatsoever against the
Port and/or the authority exercising eminent domain for damages for termination of its
leasehold. The Port and the City further agree that all decisions regarding how the eminent
domain proceeding should be handled shall be made in the sole discretion of the Port
(specifically including any response to a motion for order adjudicating public use and necessity
or any request for immediate possession), and the City shall take no actions or steps which
interfere with the Port's ability to control the handling of the eminent domain proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall be considered to be a waiver or
assignment by the City of any right to relocation assistance payments or relocation advisory
services which may be available in connection with the eminent domain proceeding. 
12.1.4. Eminent Domain. The term "eminent domain" as used in this Section 12.1
shall include taking or damaging of property by, through or under any governmental or quasigovernmental
authority and the purchase or acquisition in lieu thereof. 
12.2.   Court Decree. In the event that any court having jurisdiction in the matter shall
render a decision which has become final and which will prevent the performance by the Port of
any of its obligations under this Lease, then either party hereto may terminate this Lease by
written notice, and all rights and obligations hereunder (with the exception of any undischarged
rights and obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination) shall thereupon
terminate. The City is not entitled to any compensation at termination for the bargain value of
the leasehold. 
SECTION 13: ACCESS 
13.1.   Access to Premises. The Port shall have the right to show the Premises at all
reasonable times with prior notice to the City to any prospective purchasers, tenants or
mortgagees of the same. The Port may enter upon the Premises, or any part thereof, for the
purpose of ascertaining the condition of the Premises or whether the City is observing and
performing the obligations assumed by it under this Lease, all without hindrance or molestation
from the City. The above-mentioned rights of entry shall be exercisable upon request made on
reasonable advance notice to the City (except that no notice shall be required in the event of an
emergency) or an authorized employee or agent of the City at the Premises, which notice may
be given orally. 
SECTION 14: NONWAIVER; RIGHT TO PERFORM 
14.1.   No Waiver of Breach. The failure of the Port to insist in any one or more
instances, upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, or to exercise any
option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver of or relinquishment for the future of
the performance of such covenant, or the right to exercise such option, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect. The receipt by the Port of the Rent or fees, with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach,
and no waiver by the Port of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in writing and signed by the Port. The consent or approval of the Port to or of any act
by the City requiring the Port's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary the Port's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the City. 
SECTION 15: SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER

15.1.   Surrender. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, the City shall
promptly: (i) surrender possession of the Premises to the Port in the same condition in which
received, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (ii) deliver to the Port all keys that it may have
to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may leave in place the layer of gravel
it spread across the Premises.  If the Premises are not surrendered as provided in this Section,
the City shall indemnify and hold the Port harmless against loss or liability resulting from the
delay by the City in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims
made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. 
15.2.   Holding Over. If the City, with the consent of the Port, holds over after the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, the resulting tenancy will, unless otherwise
mutually agreed, be for an indefinite period of time on a month-to-month basis, and the City 
will continue to be bound by all of the provisions of this Lease. 
SECTION 16: ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS 
16.1.   Definitions. "Law or Regulation" as used herein shall mean any environmentally
related local, state or federal law, regulation, ordinance or order (including without limitation
any final order of any court of competent jurisdiction), now or hereafter in effect. "Hazardous
Substances" as used herein shall mean any substance or material defined or designated as a
hazardous or toxic substance, hazardous or dangerous waste, or other pollutant or contaminant,
by any Law or Regulation. 
16.2.   Hazardous Substances. The City shall not allow the presence in or about the
Premises of any Hazardous Substance in any manner that could be a detriment to the Premises
or in violation of any Law or Regulation. The City shall not allow any Hazardous Substances to

waters, soils, underground waters or air. The City shall provide the Port with the City's USEPA
Waste Generator Number, if any, and with copies of all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), 
Generator Annual Dangerous Waste Reports, environmentally related regulatory permits or
approvals (including revisions or renewals) and any correspondence the City receives from, or
provides to, any governmental unit or agency in connection with the City's handling of
Hazardous Substances or the presence, or possible presence, of any Hazardous Substance on the 
Premises.

any Law or Regulation concerning the presence, use, handling, or storing of Hazardous
Substances, the City shall promptly take such action as is necessary to mitigate and correct the
violation. If the City does not act in a prudent and prompt manner, the Port reserves the right,
but not the obligation, to come onto the Premises, to act in place of the City (the City hereby
appoints the Port as its agent for such purposes) and to take such action as the Port deems
necessary to ensure compliance or to mitigate the violation. If the Port has a reasonable belief
that the City is in violation of any Law or Regulation, or that the City's actions or inactions
present a threat of violation or a threat of damage to the Premises, the Port reserves the right to
enter onto the Premises and take such corrective or mitigating action as the Port deems
necessary. All costs and expenses incurred by the Port in connection with any such actions shall
become immediately due and payable by the City upon presentation of an invoice therefor. 
16.4.   Inspection; Test Results. The Port shall have access to the Premises to conduct an
annual environmental inspection. In addition, the City shall permit the Port access to the
Premises at any time upon reasonable notice for the purpose of conducting environmental
testing at the Port's expense. The City shall not conduct or permit others to conduct
environmental testing on the Premises without first obtaining the Port's written consent. The
City shall promptly inform the Port of the existence of any environmental study, evaluation,
investigation or results of any environmental testing conducted on the Premises whenever the
same becomes known to the City, and the City shall provide copies to the Port. 
16.5.   Removal of Hazardous Substances. Prior to vacation of the Premises, in addition
to all other requirements under this Lease, the City shall remove any Hazardous Substances 
placed on the Premises during the term of this Lease or the City's possession of the Premises,
and shall demonstrate such removal to the Port's satisfaction.

Hazardous Substances on the Premises, including but not limited to, costs of clean-up or other
remedial activities, fines or penalties assessed directly against the Port, injuries to third persons
or other properties, and loss of revenues resulting from an inability to re-lease or market the

Lease, The City agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Port free and harmless from any and
all claims, causes of action, notices of intent to sue, regulatory demands, liabilities, fines,
penalties, losses, and expenses, including without limitation cleanup or other remedial costs
(and including attorneys' fees, costs and all other reasonable litigation expenses when incurred
and whether incurred in defense of actual litigation or in reasonable anticipation of litigation)
(collectively, "Environmental Claims"), arising from the existence or discovery of any
Hazardous Substance on the Premises, or the migration of any Hazardous Substance from the
Premises to other properties or into the surrounding environment, whether (i) made,
commenced or incurred during the term of this Lease, or (ii) made, commenced or incurred
after the expiration or termination of this Lease if arising out of events occurring during the
term of this Lease. 
16.8.   Stormwater Management. The City acknowledges that the Premises are subject to
the requirements of the City of Seattle ordinance regarding stormwater drainage, source control
and Citywide Best Management Practices, and other applicable City requirements, as well as
the Clean Water Act and Washington State Department of Ecology ("Ecology") stormwater
regulations and permits. The City will comply with all applicable City, state, and federal
stormwater regulatory requirements, including the preparation of and compliance with state
Ecology's Phase I Municipal Permit or the Industrial General Stormwater Permit, if applicable.
