the thirty (30) days. Upon completion of construction, the RFA shall promptly provide
the City with as -built plans and specifications. The City's consent and approval shall
not be required for any routine maintenance or repair of improvements made by the
RFA pursuant to its obligation to maintain the Premises in good order and repair that
does not result in the construction, alteration, replacement, removal, or major repair of
any improvements on the Premises. The provisions of this section do not obviate any
permit requirements that may apply to the proposed activity.
7.2. Ownership of Improvements. On the termination of the Lease, all RFA -initiated
improvements shall become the property of the City without payment by the City.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1. The RFA agrees that it will protect, save, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the City,
its officials, employees, volunteers and agents from any and all demands, claims, suits,
actions, judgments, or liabilities for injury or death of any person, or for loss or damage
to property, arising as a result of accidents, injuries, or other occurrences on the
Premises or on City's Property, occasioned by either the negligent or willful conduct
of the RFA, its agents or any person or entity holding under the RFA or any person or
entity on the Premises or on the City's property as a result of RFA's activity, regardless
of who the injured party may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold the RFA harmless for any and all
demands, claims, judgments, or liability for loss or damage arising from the City's
negligent, reckless and/or willful acts (including those of the City's employees,
officials, or agents).
It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided
herein constitutes the RFA's waiver of immunity under Industrial Insurance, Title 51
RCW, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. This waiver has been mutually
negotiated and agreed to by the RFA and City. The provisions of this section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

judgments, orders, or damages resulting from hazardous substances on the Premises
caused in whole or in part by the activity of the RFA, its agents, subtenants, or any
other person or entity on the Premises during any period of time that the RFA has
occupied all or a portion of the Premises during the term of the Lease. The City shall,
to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold RFA harmless from any and all
Fire Station 52 Lease Agreement Page 3 of 10
claims, demands, judgments, orders or damages resulting from hazardous substances
on the Property caused by the City.

("MTCA"), RCW 70.105D.010 et seq.
8.4. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Lease.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
9.1. The RFA shall not sell, convey, mortgage, assign, pledge, sublet, or otherwise transfer
or encumber all or any part of the RFA's interest in this Lease or the Premises without
the City's prior written consent which may not be unreasonably withheld by the City.
In the event of such consent, each permitted transferee shall assume all obligations
under this Lease. No assignment, sublet, or transfer shall release, discharge, or
otherwise affect the liability of RFA. The consolidation of the RFA with another entity
or the formation of a regional fire authority in which the RFA is a participating
jurisdiction shall not constitute an assignment under this Lease. The City's consent
shall not be required for a sublease of the premises to another governmental entity
providing services that directly support and benefit the operation of the regional RFA.
10. INSURANCE.
10.1. During the term of this Lease and any extension thereof, the City shall maintain an
insurance policy on the Premises in the amount of the replacement cost, for damage
from fire; earthquake; and other perils. Said insurance policy shall also insure the

proceeds on a claim against said insurance policy for damage shall be used to repair
damage to the building so insured and to repair or replace any damaged personal
property provided by the City.
10.2. The RFA shall be responsible for maintaining its own fire and hazard insurance on
RFA -owned personal property and leasehold improvements placed within and on the
Premises by the RFA.
10.3. The RFA shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Lease, insurance against
claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in
connection with this Lease by the RFA, its agents, representatives, employees or
subcontractors.

or Premises may be interfered with or prevented because of fire, earthquake, flood, storm,
landslide, act of war, vandalism, theft or other extraordinary casualty ("Casualty").
Fire Station 52 Lease Agreement Page 4 of 10
11.1. Material Damage. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or any Casualty
which cannot, despite diligent, good faith efforts be repaired or restored within one
hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which such damage occurs, then RFA
may elect to terminate the Lease effective as of the date of such damage or destruction.
Within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage, the parties shall determine how
long the repair and restoration will take. After that determination has been made, RFA
shall have a period of thirty (30) days to terminate the Lease by giving written notice
to the City.
11.2. Repair after Damage. If the RFA does not give notice of the RFA's election to
terminate as provided in subsection 11.1, then the City shall, subject to the provisions
of this Section, immediately commence and diligently pursue the completion of the
repair of such damage so that the Premises are restored to a condition of similar quality,
character and utility for the RFA's purposes. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if the Premises are not repaired and restored within one hundred
twenty (120) days from the date of the damage, the RFA may cancel the Lease at any
time before the City completes the repairs and delivers the restored Premises to the
RFA. If the RFA does not so terminate, the City shall continue to restore the Premises.
The RFA shall have no claim against the City for any direct, incidental or consequential
damages arising from the City's failure to commence or complete any repairs to the
Premises. In no event shall the City be obligated to spend more money on the repair
than is provided by insurance proceeds in subsection 11.1.
11.3. Uninsured Damage. If damage or destruction is caused by a peril not required to be
insured against hereunder and for which insurance proceeds are not available, either
the City or RFA may terminate this Lease by thirty (30) days written notice to the other
of its election to do so, and the Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of such
date unless the other party agrees in writing to pay for such repairs or restoration.

occurrence of any of the following:

paid during the balance of the Term, unless the City gives a written notice of
termination to the RFA or termination is decreed by legal proceedings.

condition; of any subsequent breach or default of the same; or of any other term,
covenant, or condition of this Lease. The City's acceptance of a rental payment shall
not be construed to be a waiver of any preceding or existing breach other than the failure

cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to the City by law
