Additionally, the following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this Lease: “Affiliate” means any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question; “Building’s Structure” means the Building’s exterior walls, roof, elevator shafts, footings, foundations, structural portions of load-bearing walls, structural floors and subfloors, and structural columns and beams; “Building’s Systems” means the Building’s HVAC (as defined below), security, life-safety, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems; “Comparison Buildings” means first class office buildings in the Seattle, Washington central business district area; “include”, “includes” or “including” shall be deemed, as the context indicates, to be followed by the words “but (is/are) not limited to” or “without limitation”; “Laws” means all federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules, requirements and regulations, all court orders, governmental directives, and governmental orders and all interpretations of the foregoing, and all restrictive covenants and conditions affecting the Project, and “Law” means any of the foregoing; “Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment” means any of Tenant’s equipment or other property that may be located on the grounds of the Project (other than inside the Premises); and “Tenant Parties” means all of the following persons: Tenant; any assignees claiming by, through, or under Tenant; any subtenants claiming by, through, or under Tenant; and any of their respective agents, contractors, employees, licensees, guests and invitees, and “Tenant Party” means any of the foregoing. “Original Tenant” means the Tenant originally named in this Lease. “Landlord Parties” means all of the following persons: Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagees (as defined below), and any of their respective partners, members, directors, officers, trustees, shareholders, successors and assigns, agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees, guests and invitees, and “Landlord Party” means any of the foregoing.

2. Lease Grant.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises. Tenant shall also have the non-exclusive right to use in common with Landlord and the other tenants of the Project those portions of the Project that are provided by Landlord for use in common with Landlord and the other tenants of the Project, such as entrances, lobbies, restrooms, ground floor corridors, elevators and elevator foyers, loading and unloading areas, plazas, ramps, drives, stairs, and access ways and service ways (collectively, the “Common Areas”).

The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the Building, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the Common Areas, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the Project.

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(b) Must-Take Premises. Effective as of Must-Take Commencement Date, Tenant shall accept delivery of the Must-Take Premises from Landlord and the Must-Take Premises shall become part of the Premises for all purposes hereunder, and all references in this Lease to the “Premises” shall thereafter include the Must-Take Premises. Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent for the Must-Take Premises, and to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in Operating Costs and Taxes (as those terms are defined in Section 4. below) with respect to the Must-Take Premises, shall commence on the Must-Take Commencement Date.

3. Lease Term.

(a) In General. The terms and conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The Commencement Date, Must-Take Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Term of this Lease shall be as set forth in the Basic Lease Information of this Lease. By occupying the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in their condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject to other provisions of this Lease, including the performance of punch-list items that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. Prior to occupying the Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto confirming (1) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the initial Term, (2) that Tenant has accepted the Premises, and (3) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to the Premises (except for punch-list items specified in such letter); however, the failure of the parties to execute such letter shall not defer the Commencement Date or otherwise invalidate this Lease. Occupancy of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease including those requiring the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent (each as defined below).

(b) Termination Right Based on Landlord’s Failure to Timely Deliver the Must-Take Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Premises and/or Must-Take Premises with the Landlord’s Work to be performed therein substantially complete on or before January 1, 2016 (the “Delivery Termination Date”), which date shall not be subject to delays for any reason (including force majeure), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering to Landlord notice thereof at any time before the earlier of (1) fifteen (15) days following the Delivery Termination Date, as such date may be so extended, or (2) the date on which Landlord tenders possession of the Premises and/or Must-Take Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work to be performed therein substantially complete. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Delivery Termination Date shall be extended day-for-day each day Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Must-Take Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work to be performed therein substantially complete due solely to delays caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents (as defined in Exhibit D). The termination right afforded to Tenant under this Section 3(b) shall be Tenant’s sole recourse for Landlord’s failure to timely tender possession of the Must-Take Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work to be performed therein substantially complete on or before the Delivery Termination Date, as such date may be so extended. Time is of essence for the delivery of Tenant’s termination notice under this Section 3(b); accordingly, if Tenant fails to timely deliver such notice, Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease under this Section 3(b) shall expire.

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(c) Beneficial Occupancy. Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Initial Premises prior to the Commencement Date, provided that (A) a certificate of occupancy, or a temporary certificate of occupancy (or the equivalent of either) shall have been issued by the appropriate governmental authorities permitting Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Initial Premises for the Permitted Use, and (B) all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply, other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess plus Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess (as defined below), as though the Commencement Date had occurred.

4. Rent.

(a) Payment. Tenant shall timely pay Rent to Landlord, without notice, demand, deduction or setoff (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), by good and sufficient check drawn on a national banking association delivered to Landlord’s address provided for in the Basic Lease Information, by wire transfer as provided for in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other address or by wiring instructions provided in a notice delivered by Landlord to Tenant, accompanied by all applicable state and local sales or use taxes. The obligations of Tenant to pay Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit H attached hereto, Basic Rent, adjusted as herein provided, shall be payable monthly in advance. The monthly installment of Basic Rent for the first calendar month of the Term for which Basic Rent is due to Landlord hereunder shall be payable within two (2) Business Days following Tenant’s receipt of a fully executed copy of this Lease; thereafter, Basic Rent shall be payable on the first day of each month beginning on the first day of the second full calendar month of the Term for which Basic Rent is due to Landlord. The monthly Basic Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Term shall equal the product of 1/365 of the annual Basic Rent in effect during the partial month and the number of days in the partial month and shall be due on the Commencement Date. Payments of Basic Rent for any fractional calendar month at the end of the Term shall be similarly prorated. Subject to the provisions of Exhibit H attached hereto, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent at the same time and in the same manner as Basic Rent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay Basic Rent, Annual Additional Rent or any other charges hereunder until Tenant receives from Landlord a completed and executed W-9 taxpayer identification form. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant, at Tenant’s option, shall have the right to pay amounts due under this Lease to Landlord via electronic funds transfer, and that Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, if necessary, to establish that manner of payment by Tenant.

(b) Operating Costs; Taxes.

(1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in Operating Costs (as defined below) for each calendar year and partial calendar year falling within the Term over the Operating Costs for the Base Year (the “Operating Costs Excess”). Tenant shall not pay any charges for Operating Costs prior to the end of the Base

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

Year. Landlord may make a good faith estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess to be due by Tenant for any calendar year or part thereof during the Term. During each calendar year or partial calendar year of the Term (after the Base Year), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance concurrently with each monthly installment of Basic Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess for such calendar year or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. From time to time, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess to be due by Tenant and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of the Additional Rent as estimated by Landlord. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Operating Costs are available for each calendar year. “Additional Rent,” as used herein, shall mean, collectively, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess plus Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess (as defined below).

Operating Costs for the Base Year only shall not include market-wide labor-rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including boycotts and strikes; utility rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including conservation surcharges, boycotts, embargoes or other shortages; or amortized costs relating to capital improvements.

Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in Taxes for each calendar year and partial calendar year falling within the Term over the Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”). Tenant shall not pay any charges for Taxes prior to the end of the first Base Year. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tax Excess in the same manner as provided above for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess (both on an estimated and actual basis as provided therein). “Taxes” means taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or fees whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

and assessments (including nongovernmental assessments for common charges under a restrictive covenant or other private agreement that are not treated as part of Operating Costs) now or hereafter attributable to the Project (or its operation), excluding, however, penalties and interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, there shall be excluded from Taxes any excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, documentary transfer taxes, federal or state income, corporate, capital stock, or capital gains taxes, penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay taxes or to file any tax or informational returns and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts, or income attributable to operations at the Project); provided, that if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any Taxes, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Project, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for purposes hereof. If an assessment is payable in installments, Taxes for the year shall include the amount of the installment and any interest due and payable during that year. For purposes of computing Taxes, any special assessment shall be deemed to have been paid in the maximum number of installments permitted by Law, and Taxes shall be deemed to include all interest that would have been payable in connection therewith as a result of paying such special assessment in the maximum number of installments permitted by Law. For all other Taxes, the Taxes for that year shall, at Landlord’s election, include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that year, provided that Landlord’s election shall be applied consistently throughout the Term. If there is a change in Taxes for any year of the Term, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant, as applicable, with a credit or a statement of any deficiency based on the adjustment. Tenant shall pay any such deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the statement from Landlord. Taxes shall include the costs of consultants retained in an effort to lower taxes and all costs incurred in disputing any taxes or in seeking to lower the tax valuation of the Project. For property tax purposes, Tenant waives all rights to protest or appeal the appraised value of the Premises, as well as the Project, and all rights to receive notices of re-appraisement. To the extent the same is in Landlord’s possession, Landlord shall provide a copy of the then-current tax xxxx to Tenant upon request.

(3) By April 1 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Operating Costs for the previous year, in each case adjusted as provided in Section 4(b)(4) below, and of the Taxes for the previous year (the “Operating Costs and Tax Statement”). If Tenant’s estimated payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess and/or Tax Excess, as the case may be, under this Section 4(b) for the year covered by the Operating Costs and Tax Statement exceed Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess and/or Tax Excess, as the case may be, as indicated in the Operating Costs and Tax Statement, then Landlord shall promptly credit or reimburse Tenant for such applicable excess; likewise, if Tenant’s estimated payments of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess or Tax Excess, as the case may be, under this Section 4(b) for such year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs Excess and/or Tax Excess, as the case may be, as indicated in the Operating Costs and Tax Statement, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Operating Costs and Tax Statement. No delay in providing any Operating Costs and Tax Statement shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s Obligations for actual or estimated Operating Costs Excess or Tax Excess.

(4) With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area thereof, or Landlord is not supplying services to one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area thereof, the Operating Costs for such period that vary with the occupancy of the Building shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount that would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area thereof and Landlord had been supplying services to one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable area thereof; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay for services that are not provided to unoccupied portions of the Building, and the terms of the immediately foregoing sentence shall not apply to services are provided to unoccupied portions of the building. If a category of Operating Costs is first incurred in a calendar year after the Base Year, then for purposes of calculating the Operating Costs Excess for such calendar year (and the following calendar years) the Operating Costs for the Base Year shall be deemed to be increased to include the amount that Landlord reasonably estimates would have been incurred by Landlord for such category of Operating Costs in the Base Year if Landlord had incurred such category of Operating Costs in the Base Year. Conversely, if in a calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, Landlord no longer incurs a category of Operating Costs, then for purposes of calculating the Operating Costs Excess for such calendar year (and the following calendar year), Operating Costs for such Base Year shall be deemed to be decreased by the amount that Landlord actually incurred for such category of Operating Costs in the Base Year. The adjustments to the Operating Costs for the Base Year provided for in the preceding two sentences shall not be deemed to require a recalculation of the Operating Costs Excess for any calendar year prior to the calendar year in question.

(5) Tenant may once, within one hundred eighty (180) days after receiving the Operating Costs and Tax Statement, give Landlord notice (the “Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to have Landlord’s records of the Operating Costs and Taxes for the calendar year covered by the Operating Costs and Tax Statement reviewed (the “Review”) for the sole purpose of determining whether the Operating Costs and Tax Statement is accurate; provided that as a condition to Tenant’s exercise of its right of Review set forth in this Section 4(b)(5), Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amount as required by the provisions of this Section 4 in accordance with such Operating Costs and Tax Statement. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of the Review. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent shall be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the State of Washington (working on a non-contingency fee basis) and its fees shall not be contingent in whole or in part, upon the outcome of the review (“Tenant’s Accountant”). Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice (not to exceed thirty (30) days), Landlord shall make available to Tenant’s Accountant during normal business hours all pertinent records with respect to the Operating Costs and Tax Statement for the calendar year that is the subject of the Review Notice and that are reasonably necessary for Tenant’s Accountant to conduct the Review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Building, Tenant’s Accountant may either inspect the records at such other location or Tenant may pay for the reasonable cost of copying

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

and shipping the records. Except as otherwise expressly hereinafter provided, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the Review. Within sixty (60) days after the records are made available to Tenant’s Accountant (the “Objection Period”), Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s Operating Costs and Tax Statement for that year. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice with respect to the Operating Costs and Tax Statement for any calendar year within the one hundred eighty (180) day period described above, or fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the sixty (60) day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Operating Costs and Tax Statement and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Operating Costs and Tax Statement for that year. If Landlord agrees with Tenant’s Objection Notice, then Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant in respect of Operating Costs and Taxes against the Rent next payable under this Lease; provided, that if the Term shall have expired, then any overpayment for which Tenant may otherwise have received a credit shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of said certification at Tenant’s last known address after deducting the amount of Rent and any other payments due. If Landlord disagrees with Tenant’s Objection Notice, then Landlord shall give to Tenant notice thereof within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Objection Notice, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such disagreement, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve the disagreement. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree on the resolution of the disagreement within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of disagreement, then Landlord and Tenant shall jointly choose an independent certified public accountant located in Seattle, Washington who has not represented either Landlord, Tenant, or their respective Affiliates, in the preceding five (5) years to resolve the disagreement, whose determination shall be binding on the parties hereto. If the parties are unable to agree upon such independent certified public accountant, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to petition for the appointment of the independent accountant by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of King County, Washington and the decision of such Judge (and the determination of the accountant appointed by such Judge) shall be final and binding upon the parties, and not subject to appeal of any kind. If the final determination shall disclose that the Operating Costs and Tax Statement for the calendar year in question were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives notice of such final determination, for the reasonable costs of the independent certification or reimburse Tenant (as applicable) the cost of Tenant’s accountant’s review, up to a maximum of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) per review (but each party shall pay the cost of its respective attorney’s fees); otherwise, the cost of the audit and arbitration shall be paid by Tenant. If Operating Costs and/or Taxes for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the payment of Rent next due in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant; provided, however, if the Term shall have expired, then any overpayment for which Tenant may otherwise have received a credit shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of said certification at Tenant’s last known address after deducting the amount of Rent and any other payments due. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Costs and/or Taxes for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof within thirty (30) days. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this provision constitute confidential information of Landlord that shall not be disclosed to anyone other than Tenant’s Accountant and the principals

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

of Tenant who receive the results of such Review. Before making any records available for review, Landlord may require Tenant and Tenant’s Accountant to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement, in which event Tenant shall cause the same to be executed and delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after receiving it from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, the Objection Period shall be reduced by one (1) day for each day by which such execution and delivery follows the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period.

(c) Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Costs and/or Taxes for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of the Project and the retail space tenants (if any) of the Project. The Operating Costs and/or Taxes within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants as determined by Landlord in accordance with sound real estate management principles, consistently applied.

5. Delinquent Payment; Handling Charges. All past due payments required of Tenant hereunder that are not received by Landlord on or before five (5) days after the date the payment is due (i) shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest (such lesser amount is referred to herein as the “Default Rate”); and (ii) Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, may charge Tenant a fee equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the late fee referenced above shall not be charged with respect to the first occurrence (but shall be charged with respect to any subsequent occurrence) during any twelve (12)-month period in which Tenant fails to make payment when due, until five (5) days after Landlord delivers written notice of such delinquency to Tenant.

6. Letter of Credit.

(a) General Provisions. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as collateral for the full performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of this Lease, a standby, unconditional negotiable, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached to this Lease and containing the terms required herein, in the face amount set forth for the Letter of Credit in the Basic Lease Information (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), naming Landlord as beneficiary, issued (or confirmed) by a financial institution acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, permitting multiple and partial draws thereon, and otherwise in form acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in effect (whether through replacement, renewal or extension) in the Letter of Credit Amount through the date (the “Final LC Expiration Date”) that is ninety (90) days after the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term, as it may be extended from time to time. If the Letter of Credit held by Landlord expires before the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

termination or nonrenewal given by the issuing bank), Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord not less than sixty (60) days before the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord. In addition, if, at any time before the Final LC Expiration Date, the financial institution that issued (or confirmed) the Letter of Credit held by Landlord fails to meet the “Minimum Financial Requirement” (as defined below), then, within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, in replacement of such Letter of Credit, a new Letter of Credit issued (or confirmed) by a financial institution that meets the Minimum Financial Requirement and is otherwise acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, whereupon Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit that is being replaced. For purposes hereof, a financial institution shall be deemed to meet the “Minimum Financial Requirement” on a particular date if and only if, as of such date, such financial institution (a) has not been placed into receivership by the FDIC; and (b) has a financial strength that, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, is not less than that which is then generally required by Landlord and its Affiliates as a condition to accepting letters of credit in support of new leases. Any new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension (a “Renewal or Replacement LC”) shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 6, shall be irrevocable, transferable and shall remain in effect (or be automatically renewable) through the Final LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the Letter of Credit that is expiring or being replaced.

(b) Drawings under Letter of Credit. Upon an Event of Default by Tenant or, if Landlord is prohibited by applicable Laws from providing notice to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of this Lease, then upon any such failure by Tenant and lapse of the specified cure period without the necessity of providing notice to Tenant, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy provided in this Lease or by applicable Laws, draw on the Letter of Credit and use all or part of the proceeds to (a) satisfy any amounts due to Landlord from Tenant, and (b) satisfy any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by Tenant’s failure to so comply. In addition, if Tenant fails to furnish a Renewal or Replacement LC complying with all of the provisions of this Section 6 when required hereunder, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 (the “LC Proceeds Account”).

(c) Use of Proceeds by Landlord. The proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall constitute Landlord’s sole and separate property (and not Tenant’s property or the property of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate) and Landlord may, immediately upon any draw (and without notice to Tenant), apply or offset the proceeds of the Letter of Credit against (a) any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due; (b) all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of this Lease; (c) any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease (including attorneys’ fees), which costs the Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse; and (d) any other reasonable amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with this Lease and that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse under this Lease or under applicable Laws. Provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within sixty (60) days after the Final LC Expiration Date, the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied as provided above; provided, however, that if, before the

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

expiration of such sixty (60) day period, a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s creditors, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, then such payment shall not be required until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed, in each case pursuant to a final court order not subject to appeal or any stay pending appeal.

(d) Additional Covenants of Tenant. If, for any reason, the amount of the Letter of Credit becomes less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 6, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, such failure shall constitute an incurable Default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable Laws, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit, provided that nothing herein shall affect Tenant’s rights and remedies after the Letter of Credit is drawn if Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw on the Letter of Credit or to apply any portion of the proceeds thereof. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that, in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, nor any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof under the provisions of this Lease by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

(e) Nature of Letter of Credit. Landlord and Tenant (a) acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof, any substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof (including the LC Proceeds Account) be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any Law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”); (b) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof, any substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit and shall not be subject to the Security Deposit Laws; and (c) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of all provisions of Law, now or hereafter in effect, which (i) establish the time frame by which Landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that Landlord may claim from the security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent,

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified above in this Section 6 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease or the acts or omission of Tenant or any other Tenant Parties, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease.

(f) Transfer of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time with notice to Tenant but without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, but only as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease or in connection with Landlord’s financing of the Property or the Project. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor arising after such transfer, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. Landlord shall remain liable to Tenant, however, for the refund of any prior withdrawals from the Letter of Credit as and to the extent such refund is required under this Lease or applicable Laws, but only to the extent that such refundable amount has not been transferred to the Landlord’s successor in interest. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the issuing or confirming financial institution such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying such financial institution’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

7. Landlord’s Obligations.

(a) Services. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant (1) domestic water at those points of supply provided for general use of tenants of the Building; (2) heated and refrigerated air-conditioning (“HVAC”); (3) janitorial service to the Premises five (5) days per week other than Holidays (as defined below), for Building-standard installations and such window washing as may from time to time be reasonably required; (4) passenger elevators for ingress and egress to the floor on which the Premises are located, in common with other tenants, provided that Landlord may reasonably limit the number of operating elevators during nonbusiness hours and Holidays; and (5) electrical current during normal business hours for equipment that does not require more than 110 volts and whose electrical energy consumption does not exceed normal office usage. Subject to the provisions of Section 15 below, Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas of the Building in reasonably good order and condition. If Tenant desires any of the services specified in clause (2) of this Section 7(a) above, (A) at any time other than between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays (other than Holidays), and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (other than Holidays) or (B) on Sunday or Holidays, then such services shall be supplied to Tenant on weekdays upon the request of Tenant delivered to Landlord before 2:00 p.m. and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays upon request of Tenant delivered to Landlord before 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding such extra usage, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such services at the Building’s then-prevailing rates then charged by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. As

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

of the date of this Lease, the current rate for after-hours HVAC service is $70.00 per hour (subject to change from time-to-time following 30-day written notice to Tenant). The costs incurred by Landlord in providing after-hours HVAC service to Tenant shall include Landlord’s actual costs (without markup) for electricity, water, sewage, water treatment, labor, metering, filtering, and maintenance reasonably allocated by Landlord to providing such service. “Holidays” means New Year’s Day, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Xx. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

(b) Excess Utility Use. Landlord shall not be required to furnish electrical current for equipment that requires more than 110 volts or other equipment whose electrical energy consumption exceeds normal office usage. If Tenant’s requirements for or consumption of electricity exceed the electricity to be provided by Landlord as described in Section 7(a) above, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make reasonable efforts to supply such service through the then-existing feeders and risers serving the Building and the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual, reasonable cost of such service within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Landlord may determine the amount of such additional consumption and potential consumption by any verifiable method, including installation of a separate meter in the Premises installed, maintained, and read by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall not install any electrical equipment requiring special wiring or requiring voltage in excess of 110 volts unless approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not install any electrical equipment requiring voltage in excess of Building capacity unless approved in advance by Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. The use of electricity in the Premises shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders and risers to, or wiring in, the Premises. Any risers or wiring required to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements shall, upon Tenant’s written request, be installed by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, if, in Landlord’s judgment, the same are necessary and shall not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs, or expenses, or interfere with or disturb other tenants of the Building. If Tenant uses machines or equipment in the Premises (other than typical desktop computers, lap top computers (which are currently used by all Tenant employees), scanners, fax machines, communal printers, and desktop printers and similar desktop equipment) that materially and unreasonably affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-conditioning system or otherwise overload any utility, then after 30 days’ notice to Tenant, Landlord may install supplemental air-conditioning units or other supplemental equipment in the Premises, and the reasonable, actual, out of pocket cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation, use, and maintenance, in each case plus an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of such cost, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence.

(c) Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord shall repair and maintain in good order, repair and condition, the cost of which shall be included in Operating Costs to the extent permitted in Section 4 above, the Building’s Structure, the Building’s Systems and the common areas of the Building and Project (but not including any non-base building facilities installed in the Premises); provided, however, to the extent such maintenance and repairs are caused by the willful act of any Tenant Party, then subject to the waiver of subrogation provision in this Lease,

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs, which payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Landlord shall commence to make all repairs under this Section as soon as reasonably possible after Landlord learns of the need for such repairs but in any event within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of the need for such repairs. Except as set forth herein, there shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making or failing to make any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project. Tenant hereby waives and releases any right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any Law now or hereafter in effect.

(d) Restoration of Services; Abatement. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore any service required of it that becomes unavailable; however, such unavailability shall not render Landlord liable for any damages caused thereby, be a constructive eviction of Tenant, constitute a breach of any implied warranty, constitute a breach of any covenant (provided Landlord uses such reasonable efforts), or, except as provided in the next sentence, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If, however, Tenant is prevented from using the Premises because of the unavailability of any such service for a period of three (3) consecutive Business Days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written notice regarding such unavailability, the restoration of which is within Landlord’s reasonable control, and such unavailability was not caused by a Tenant Party, a governmental directive or cause beyond Landlord’s control, then Tenant shall, as its exclusive remedy, be entitled to a reasonable abatement of Rent for each consecutive day (after such three Business Day period) that Tenant is so prevented from using the Premises.

(e) General Abatement. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure by Landlord to provide services, access to the Premises, or parking, to the extent Landlord is obligated to provide the same under this Lease, or due to the presence of any Hazardous Materials (other than Hazardous Materials brought on to the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant’s Agent) (any such set of circumstances to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for three (3) consecutive Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “Eligibility Period”), then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Rent for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period because of an event described in Sections 14 or 15 of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.

8. Improvements; Alterations; Repairs; Maintenance.

(a) Improvements; Alterations. All alterations, improvements, betterments and other physical additions in or to the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) shall be installed at Tenant’s expense only in accordance with plans and specifications that have been previously submitted to and approved by Landlord, which approval shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section 8(a), and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, except with respect to the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D), which shall be governed by the terms and conditions thereof, and Cables (as defined below), which shall be installed, maintained, replaced and removed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 25 below. Except as provided in this Lease, no Alterations may be made without Landlord’s prior written consent to such Alterations and the plans and specifications, and the construction means and methods, therefor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, Landlord may withhold its consent to any alteration or addition that would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the (1) Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), (2) exterior appearance of the Building, (3) appearance of the Common Areas or elevator lobby areas, or (4) provision of services to other occupants of the Building. If Landlord consents to Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions with respect thereto as are reasonably appropriate, including (A) requiring Tenant to furnish (i) [deleted], (ii) insurance against liabilities that may arise out of such work, and (iii) plans and specifications, and permits for such work, and (B) requiring (at the time that Landlord provides its consent to such Alterations) Tenant to remove any and all such Alterations (including fixtures) in or to the Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (the terms set forth in Section 3.5 of the Tenant Work Letter shall govern with respect to Landlord’s notification to Tenant of any Tenant Improvements that Landlord will require to be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease). Tenant’s plans and specifications and construction means and methods shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord any documents and information requested by Landlord in connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder. Tenant shall not paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering, or advertising media of any type that is intended to be viewed from the exterior of the Premises (as reasonably determined by Landlord) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. All Alterations shall be constructed, maintained, and used by Tenant, at its risk and expense, in accordance with all Laws and the Landlord’s then current contractor rules and regulations; Landlord’s consent to or approval of any Alterations (or the plans therefor) shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord, nor Landlord’s acceptance, that the same comply with sound architectural and/or engineering practices, or with all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring all such compliance. If, as a result of Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (as opposed to a general office use) or the making of any Alterations to the Premises and/or installation of any Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Section 8(a), Section 25 below, or the Tenant Work Letter, respectively, any other alterations, improvements, betterments or other

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

physical additions shall be required to be made to any part of the Premises or the Project to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law, including the requirements of the Disabilities Act (as defined below), the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), or the orders or requirements imposed by any health officer, fire marshal or building inspector, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs incurred to effect such compliance. If the required alteration, improvement, betterment or other physical addition will not affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems, Tenant shall perform such work subject to this Section 8(a). If the required alteration, improvement, betterment or other physical addition will affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems, Landlord shall have the right to perform such work and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs plus five percent (5%) for overhead, which shall be payable within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of any invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a) to the contrary, Tenant may make non structural Alterations to the interior of the Premises (collectively, the “Acceptable Changes” and individually, each an “Acceptable Change”) without Landlord’s consent, provided that, with respect to each such Acceptable Change: (A) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of such Acceptable Change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof; (B) the aggregate cost of such Acceptable Change along with all other Acceptable Changes during any twelve (12) consecutive month period does not exceed Seventy-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00); (C) such Acceptable Change is performed by or on behalf of Tenant in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8; (D) such Acceptable Change does not require the issuance of a building permit or other governmental approval; (E) such Acceptable Change would not have an adverse effect (in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) on the Building’s Structure, the Building’s Systems (including the Building’s restrooms and mechanical rooms), or the provision of utilities or services to occupants of the Building; (F) such Acceptable Change cannot be seen from outside the Premises; and (G) such Acceptable Change is performed by qualified contractors and subcontractors that normally and regularly perform similar work in the Comparison Buildings.

(b) Repairs; Maintenance. Tenant shall at its sole expense maintain the interior, nonstructural portion of the Premises in a clean, safe, and operable condition, and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste (as defined by applicable law) or damage to any portion of the Premises. Additionally, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition and in accordance with all Laws and the equipment manufacturer’s suggested service programs, all interior portions of the Premises, Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment and all areas, improvements and systems located in and exclusively serving the Premises. If Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of such damage and notice from Landlord, then Landlord may make the same at Tenant’s cost. If any such damage occurs outside the Premises, then Landlord may elect to repair such damage at Tenant’s expense using Landlord’s usual contractor for such work and at competitive rates, rather than having Tenant repair such damage. The cost of all maintenance, repair or replacement work performed by Landlord under this Section 8 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. In the event that Tenant’s waiver of subrogation as provided in this Lease does not apply to the following, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not include making: (a) any repair or improvement necessitated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or servants; (b) any repair or improvement caused by Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant; or (c) any structural repairs, improvements or alterations to the Premises or the Building.

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(c) Performance of Work. All work described in this Section 8 shall be performed only by Landlord’s usual contractor for such work at competitive rates or by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage naming Landlord, Landlord’s property management company, Landlord’s asset management company and such other persons or entities as Landlord may designate in writing to Tenant from time to time as additional insureds using ISO additional insured endorsement CG 20 11 (or a substitute satisfactory to Landlord providing equivalent coverage), and under the commercial umbrella, if any, against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of all persons performing work or supplying materials prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable Laws. All such work shall be performed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Building (including the Premises, the Building’s Structure and the Building’s Systems). All such work that may affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems must be approved by the Building’s engineer of record, at Tenant’s expense and, at Landlord’s election, must be performed by Landlord’s usual contractor for such work at competitive rates. All work affecting the roof of the Building must be performed by Landlord’s roofing contractor at competitive rates and no such work will be permitted if it would void or reduce the warranty on the roof.

(d) Mechanic’s Liens. All work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party shall be deemed authorized and ordered by Tenant only, and Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s liens to be filed against the Premises or the Project in connection therewith. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who performed such work. If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing thereof to Tenant (or such earlier time period as may be necessary to prevent the forfeiture of the Premises, the Project or any interest of Landlord therein or the imposition of a civil or criminal fine with respect thereto), either (1) pay the amount of the lien and cause the lien to be released of record, or (2) diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim, and any reasonable amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that their relationship is and shall be solely that of “landlord-tenant” (thereby excluding a relationship of “owner-contractor,” “owner-agent” or other similar relationships). Accordingly, all materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter contracting with Tenant, any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant or with any other Tenant Party for the furnishing of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment with respect to any portion of the Premises, at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Term, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same. Nothing herein shall be deemed a

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

consent by Landlord to any liens being placed upon the Premises, the Project or Landlord’s interest therein due to any work performed by or for Tenant or deemed to give any contractor or subcontractor or materialman any right or interest in any funds held by Landlord to reimburse Tenant for any portion of the cost of such work. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents and representatives from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in any way arising from or relating to the failure by any Tenant Party to pay for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

(e) Tenant’s Security System. Tenant shall have the right, at its own expense, to install its own card-reader security system (“Tenant’s Security System”) in the Premises, which Tenant’s Security System shall be installed as an Alteration pursuant to the terms of this Section 8, or as a Tenant Improvement pursuant and subject to the terms of Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall coordinate the installation and operation of Tenant’s Security System with Landlord to assure that Tenant’s Security System is compatible with the Building systems and equipment; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Security System be permitted to connect to the Building’s security systems. Tenant shall be solely responsible for monitoring and operating Tenant’s Security System. Neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable for, and Landlord and the Landlord Parties are hereby released from any responsibility for any damage either to person or property sustained or incurred by Tenant in connection with the operation and/or failure such Tenant’s Security System.

9. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use and shall comply with, and cause each other Tenant Party to comply with, all Laws relating to the Tenant’s particular use of the Premises and will not commit waste (as defined by applicable law), overload the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. The population density within the Premises as a whole shall at no time exceed one person for each one hundred and twenty (120) rentable square feet in the Premises. Tenant shall not conduct second or third shift operations within the Premises; however, Tenant may use the Premises after normal business hours, so long as Tenant is not generally conducting business from the Premises after normal business hours. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, as between Landlord and Tenant, (a) Tenant shall bear the risk of complying with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, any Laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations, and guidelines promulgated under such Laws, as amended from time to time (the “Disabilities Acts”) in the Premises, and (b) Landlord shall bear the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts in the Common Areas of the Building, other than compliance that is necessitated by the (1) use of the Premises for other than the Permitted Use, (2) as a result of any Alterations, including any Tenant Improvements, made by or on behalf of a Tenant Party (all of which risk and responsibility shall be borne by Tenant), or (3) as a result of any trade fixtures, furniture, equipment or other personal property to be installed in the Premises. The Premises shall not be used for any use that is disreputable, creates extraordinary fire or other hazards, or results in an increased rate of insurance on the Building or its contents, or for the storage of any Hazardous Materials (other than typical office supplies [e.g., photocopier toner] and then only in compliance with all Laws). Landlord shall comply with any applicable Laws relating to the physical condition of all parts of the Building outside the Premises, and the cost of the same shall be included in Operating Costs to the extent

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

consistent with Section 4(b)(2) above. Tenant shall not use any substantial portion of the Premises for a “call center,” any other telemarketing use, or any credit processing use. If, solely because of a Tenant Party’s acts (other than in connection with the express permitted use) or because Tenant vacates the Premises, the rate of insurance on the Building or its contents increases, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence, and acceptance of such payment shall not waive any of Landlord’s other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and control each other Tenant Party so as not to create any nuisance (as defined by applicable law) or unreasonably interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the Building.

10. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) Transfers. Except as provided in Section 10(h) below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, (1) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of law, (2) permit any other entity to become Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, (3) [deleted], (4) sublet any portion of the Premises, (5) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Premises, or (6) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in clauses (1) through (6) of this Section 10(a) above being a “Transfer”). For the purpose of this Lease, any sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock through any public exchange, or redemption or issuance of additional stock of any class shall not be deemed a Transfer, assignment, or subletting of the Lease or the Premises.

(b) Consent Standards. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises, provided that (1) the proposed transferee (A) is creditworthy, (B) has a good reputation in the business community, (C) will use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use (thus, excluding, without limitation, uses for credit processing and telemarketing) and will not use the Premises in any manner that would conflict with any exclusive use agreement or other similar agreement entered into by Landlord with any other tenant of the Building or Project, (D) will not use the Premises, Building or Project in a manner that would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises, Building or Project, (E) is not a governmental entity, or subdivision or agency thereof or person that is or may be entitled to claim sovereign immunity, (F) is not another occupant of the Building or Project, (G) is not a person or entity with whom Landlord is then, or has been within the six-month period prior to the time Tenant seeks to enter into such assignment or subletting, negotiating to lease space in the Building or Project or any Affiliate of any such person or entity, and (H) has been approved by all of Landlord’s Mortgagees (as defined below) having the right to approve the proposed transferee, and (2) payment for the Transfer is not determined in whole or in part based upon the net income or profits of the proposed transferee; otherwise, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion. Additionally, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion to any proposed Transfer if any Event of Default by Tenant then exists.

(c) Request for Consent. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information about

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information; general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness and character and such additional information as Landlord may reasonably request. In connection with any request for consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation, Landlord’s review and processing fees and its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with considering any request for consent to a Transfer, in an aggregate amount not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($2,500.00) in the aggregate, but such limitation of fees shall only apply to the extent such Transfer is in the ordinary course of business. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that a proposed Transfer shall not be considered “in the ordinary course of business” if such Transfer involves the review of documentation by Landlord on more than two (2) occasions.

(d) Conditions to Consent. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly assumes Tenant’s obligations hereunder; however, any transferee of less than all of the space in the Premises shall be liable only for obligations under this Lease that are properly allocable to the space subject to the Transfer for the period of the Transfer. No Transfer shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor; provided, however, that if Tenant is nonetheless deemed to be a surety by remaining liable hereunder, Tenant hereby waives all applicable suretyship defenses. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent. Tenant authorizes its transferees to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Tenant shall pay for the cost of any demising walls or other improvements necessitated by a proposed subletting or assignment.

(e) Attornment by Subtenants. Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, reentry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then-executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (1) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant, (3) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not approved by Landlord or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment, (4) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant that is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement, or (5) obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10(e). The provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.

(f) Cancellation. Except in connection with Permitted Transfers, Landlord may, within thirty (30) days after submission of Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting, cancel this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned as of the date the proposed Transfer is to be effective. If Landlord cancels this Lease as to any portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall cease for such portion of the Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent accrued through the cancellation date relating to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person) without liability to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, within three (3) days after receipt of such cancelation notice from Landlord, rescind its request for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting, in which case, Landlord’s cancelation notice shall be deemed null and void.

(g) Additional Compensation. Except in connection with Permitted Transfers, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (1) all compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer less the actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Tenant with unaffiliated third parties (i.e., brokerage commissions, attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of such Transfer, and tenant finish work) and other economic concessions or services provided to the transferee, in connection with such Transfer over (2) the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby.

(h) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 10(a) above, Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (each a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (each a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord so long as (1) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by such entity; and (2) the Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) of such entity is not less than $10,000,000.00:

(1) an Affiliate of Tenant;

(2) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities;

(3) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, stock or other ownership interest; or

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(4) Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer. Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant (unless Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition) hereunder, and the Permitted Transferee shall expressly assume in a writing for the benefit of Landlord in a commercially reasonable instrument executed and delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the assignment, all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use, and the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee may not violate any other agreements affecting the Premises, the Building or the Project. No later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (i) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Transfers, (ii) documentation establishing Tenant’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Transfer, and (iii) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets that would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP, including goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Any subsequent Transfer by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Section 10.

All of Tenant’s insurance shall be primary insurance as to all claims occurring within or about the Premises and provide that any insurance carried by any of the Additional Insureds is excess over, and non-contributing with, any insurance of Tenant with respect to claims occurring within or about the Premises. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates of such insurance at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant first enters upon or occupies the Premises, and at least fifteen (15) days prior to each renewal of said insurance (and such liability insurance certificates or other evidence shall include an endorsement or policy excerpt showing that Tenant’s coverage is primary and non-contributing with respect to any insurance afforded to any of the Additional Insureds). Tenant shall endeavor to notify Landlord and each of Landlord’s Mortgagees at least forty-five (45) days before cancellation or material reduction of any such insurance policies (ten [10] days in the event of nonpayment of premiums).

If the use or occupancy of the Premises includes any activity or matter that is or may be excluded from coverage under a commercial general liability policy (e.g., the sale, service or consumption of alcoholic beverages), Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require. All such insurance policies shall be in form, and issued by companies with an A.M. Best rating of A-VII or better. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing insurance requirements or to deliver to Landlord the certificates or evidence of coverage required herein within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s written request, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy available pursuant to this Lease or otherwise, may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice from Landlord, together with reasonable supporting evidence, the premium costs thereof, plus an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of such cost. Landlord shall have no interest in any insurance proceeds Tenant receives for Tenant’s personal property. During the Term, Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy or policies of insurance for the repair or replacement of the insured

property, subject to the terms set forth in Section 15(d), below. Landlord shall have no interest in any insurance proceeds Tenant receives for Tenant’s personal property. Tenant’s policies shall not be contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord shall carry on the Building.

(b) Landlord’s Insurance. Throughout the Term, Landlord shall maintain, as a minimum, the following insurance policies from an insurance company rated at least A-VII or better in Best’s Insurance Reports: (1) “special form” (1) property insurance for at least ninety percent (90%) of the Building’s replacement value (excluding property required to be insured by Tenant and the costs of excavation, foundations, underground utilities and footings), less a commercially reasonable deductible and/or self-insured retention if Landlord so chooses, and (2) commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) general aggregate for damages because of personal injury, bodily injury or death, or property damages or destruction (including loss of use thereof). Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem appropriate or as required by any of Landlord’s Mortgagees. The cost of all insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Project shall be included in Operating Costs, and any deductibles shall also be included in Operating Costs. The foregoing insurance policies and any other insurance carried by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord’s sole control, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder.

(c) No Subrogation; Waiver of Property Claims. The following waivers in this Section 11(c) are intended to be cumulative, rather than mutually exclusive.

(1) Intentionally Omitted.

(2) Property Insurance Policies. Each of Landlord and Tenant waives any claim it might have against the other (and in the case of Tenant’s waiver, against the other Additional Insureds) for any damage to, or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of, any property, to the extent the same is insured against under any property insurance policies of the types described in Section 11(a) above that cover the Project, the Premises, Landlord’s or Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements, or business (or if the insurance required under this Lease had been carried, would have been insured against), regardless of whether the negligence of the other party caused such loss or damage. Additionally, Tenant waives any claim it may have against the Additional Insureds for any loss to the extent such loss or damage is caused by a terrorist act. Each party shall cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier’s rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party as provided hereinabove. For the purposes of this Section 11(c)(2). any deductible with respect to a party’s property insurance shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by such party under, valid and collectible policies of insurance.

(d) Waiver. Except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Parties, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property (subject to the waiver as subrogation in Section 11(c)(2), above) or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not be liable for, and are

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Nothing in this Section 11(d) shall limit the provisions of Section 11(c) above or Section 26(b) below.

(e) Indemnities. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11(e) below, Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all claims, losses, demands, liabilities, actions, penalties, judgments, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”) suffered or imposed upon or against any Landlord Party arising from or in connection with (1) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under any Tenant Party, (2) any occurrence in the Premises, or (3) the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or removal of any property of any Tenant Party located in or about the Project, including Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment, if any, and (4) any breach by Tenant of any representation, covenant or other term contained in this Lease, whether occurring before, during or after the expiration of the Term. The foregoing indemnity is intended to apply regardless of any active or passive negligence or fault of the Landlord Parties, even when Landlord or its representatives and agents are jointly, comparatively, contributively, or concurrently negligent with Tenant, and regardless of whether liability without fault or strict liability may be imposed upon the Landlord Parties; however, with respect to Landlord or any Landlord Party, Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not apply (i) to the extent any Claim arises from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Party and is not for any reason (other than Tenant’s failure to carry the insurance required under Section 11(a) above) paid for by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, or (ii) to the extent such obligations are prohibited by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the concurrent negligence of any of the Tenant Parties on the one hand and that of any of the Landlord Parties on the other hand, which concurrent negligence results in injury or damage to persons or property and relates to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to or maintenance of the Premises, Common Areas or any other portion of the Project, Tenant’s obligation to indemnify the Landlord Parties as set forth in this Section 11(e) shall be limited to the extent of Tenant’s negligence, and that of the Tenant Parties, including Tenant’s proportional share of costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred in connection with any Claims arising from such injury or damage. Landlord shall defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant’s agents, officers, directors, employees, and contractors (collectively, the “Tenant Parties”) from and against all Claims incurred by or on behalf of any person, entity, or governmental authority occasioned by or arising out of: (a) injuries occurring in the Common Areas or any other portion of the Building outside the Premises to the extent the same is covered by insurance carried by Landlord under the terms of this Lease the cost of which is included in Operating Costs; (b) any intentional conduct or negligence of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, or independent contractors; (c) any breach by Landlord of any representation, covenant or other term contained in this Lease, whether occurring before, during or after the expiration of the Term. Landlord’s indemnity shall not apply to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under any Tenant Party. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Lease only as to claims arising out of events that occur prior to termination of the Lease. The indemnities set forth in this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease and shall not terminate or be waived, diminished or affected in any manner by any abatement or apportionment of Rent under any provision of this

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

Lease. If any proceeding is filed for which indemnity is required hereunder, the indemnifying party agrees, upon request therefor, to defend the indemnified party in such proceeding at its sole cost utilizing counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnities set forth herein are intended to specifically cover actions brought by the indemnifying party’s own employees. Such indemnities are specifically and expressly intended to constitute waivers by the indemnifying party of its immunity, if any, under Washington’s Industrial Insurance Act (Title 51 RCW, as amended, and under any substitute or replacement statute), to the extent necessary to provide the other party with a full and complete indemnity from claims made by the indemnifying party and its employees, to the extent provided herein. This waiver and agreement was specifically negotiated by Landlord and Tenant and is solely for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their successors and assigns and is not intended as a waiver of Tenant’s rights of immunity under said industrial insurance for any other purpose.

12. Subordination; Attornment; Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee.

(a) Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (each, a “Mortgage”) that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any such Mortgage, beneficiary under any such deed of trust or other security instrument is referred to herein as a “Landlord’s Mortgagee”), provided that upon any foreclosure of any such Mortgage or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, Landlord’s successor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the Rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant. Any Landlord’s Mortgagee may elect, at any time, unilaterally, to make this Lease superior to its Mortgage or other interest in the Premises by so notifying Tenant in writing. The provisions of this Section 12(a) shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord (or such other person designated by Landlord) within ten (10) business days after request therefor such reasonable documentation, in recordable form if required, as a Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence the subordination of this Lease to such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage (including a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement) or, if the Landlord’s Mortgagee so elects, the subordination of such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Mortgage to this Lease.

(b) Attornment. Tenant shall attorn to any person succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such person’s request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such person may reasonably request.

(c) Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

(d) Landlord’s Mortgagee’s Protection Provisions. If a Landlord’s Mortgagee or any successor in interest thereto shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, neither such Landlord’s Mortgagee nor any such successor in interest shall be: (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Landlord), other than with respect to defaults that continue after Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor-in-interest has succeeded to the interest of Landlord hereunder (and then only with respect to the period of time following such succession); (2) bound by, or subject to any offset rights with respect to, any Rent that Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor (including Landlord), and all such Rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (3) bound by any Security Deposit or advance rental deposit made by Tenant that is not delivered or paid over to such Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest and with respect to which Tenant shall look solely to Landlord for refund or reimbursement; (4) bound by any termination, amendment or modification of this Lease made without such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s consent and written approval, except for the express extension, termination and expansion rights set forth in Exhibits I, J, and K, respectively, and those terminations, amendments and modifications permitted to be made by Landlord without such Landlord’s Mortgagee’s consent pursuant to the terms of the loan and/or lease documents between Landlord and such Landlord’s Mortgagee; (5) subject to the defenses or counterclaims that Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord); (6) subject to the credits or offsets that Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord) except for those offset rights (A) that do not pertain to any Rent that Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor (including Landlord), (B) that are expressly provided in this Lease, (C) that relate to periods of time following the acquisition of the Building by such Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest, and (D) for which Tenant has provided written notice to such Landlord’s Mortgagee and provided such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity (up to thirty (30) days) to cure the event giving rise to such offset event; and (7) bound by any covenant to perform (including any covenant to complete) any renovation or construction in the Premises or to pay any sums to Tenant in connection therewith, in either case arising or accruing prior to the date of the conveyance of Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Neither a Landlord’s Mortgagee nor any successor in interest thereto shall have any liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise prior to the date such Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this Lease or after such Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest ceases to own an interest in the Project. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require a Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest thereto to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant’s agreements set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modification of the documents evidencing and securing any loan.

13. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Project that are attached hereto as Exhibit C. Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the Project and related facilities, provided that such changes are applicable to all tenants of the Project, will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and are enforced by Landlord in a nondiscriminatory manner. Tenant shall be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by each Tenant Party (and any modification thereto of which Tenant has received notice). No such rules shall materially enlarge Tenant’s obligations under the Lease or materially limit Tenant’s rights and remedies under the Lease, including (without limitation) Tenant’s use of the Premises. The Lease provisions shall control and supersede any contradictory or inconsistent provisions contained in the rules and regulations.

14. Condemnation.

(a) Total Taking. If the entire Building or Premises are taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the Taking.

(b) Partial Taking – Tenant’s Rights. If any part of the Building becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting on a permanent basis its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the Taking. If this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s sole cost, to restore the Premises as soon as reasonably possible to a complete unit consistent with the condition of the Premises existing prior to the condemnation.

(c) Partial Taking – Landlord’s Rights. If any material portion, but less than all, of the Building becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds arising from a Taking to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering notice thereof to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, then this Lease will continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Rent shall xxxxx as provided in the last sentence of Section 14(b) above.

(d) Temporary Taking. If all or any portion of the Premises becomes subject to a Taking for a limited period of time, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, including the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other amounts required hereunder. If any such temporary Taking terminates prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition prior to such temporary Taking, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such temporary Taking, except that Tenant shall be entitled to receive the portion of such award that (1) compensates Tenant for its loss of use of the Premises within the Term and (2) reimburses Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant to restore the Premises as required by this Section 14(d).

(e) Award. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the Land, the Building, and other improvements taken; however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord’s award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant’s personal property that Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs, loss of business, and other claims it may have.

15. Fire or Other Casualty.

(a) Repair Estimate. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(b) Tenant’s Rights. If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately prior to such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused by such Casualty cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of repairs (the “Repair Period”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.

(c) Landlord’s Rights. If a Casualty damages the Premises or a material portion of the Building and (1) Landlord estimates that the damage to the Premises cannot be repaired within the Repair Period; (2) the damage to the Premises exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term; (3) regardless of the extent of damage to the Premises, the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies or Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring the Building would be uneconomical; or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.

(d) Repair Obligation. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as had existed immediately prior to such Casualty; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any alterations, additions, improvements or betterments within the Premises, including any Tenant Improvements or other Alterations (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense), or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Building. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this Section 15, Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the insurance policies providing coverage for all alterations, additions, improvements and betterments in the Premises, including the Tenant Improvements and all other Alterations (and, if Tenant has failed to maintain insurance on such items as required by this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the proceeds Landlord would have received had Tenant maintained insurance on such items as required by this Lease).

(e) Abatement of Rent. If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated in the proportion of the rentable square footage of the Premises made untenantable thereby to the total rentable square footage of the Premises from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord’s repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be) unless a Tenant Party caused such damage, in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent without abatement.

16. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises or in or on the Building or Project. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and Landlord elects to pay the same, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following request therefor, the part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder; however, Landlord shall not pay such amount if Tenant notifies Landlord that it will contest the validity or amount of such taxes before Landlord makes such payment, and thereafter diligently proceeds with such contest in accordance with Law and if the nonpayment thereof does not pose a threat of loss or seizure of the Project or interest of Landlord therein or impose any fee or penalty against Landlord.

17. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall be an “Event of Default”:

(a) Payment Default. Tenant’s failure to pay Rent within five (5) days after Landlord has delivered notice to Tenant that the same is due; however, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Tenant fails to pay Rent when due and, during the twelve (12)-month interval preceding such failure, Landlord has given Tenant notice of failure to pay Rent on two (2) or more occasions;

(b) Abandonment. Tenant abandons the Premises or any substantial portion thereof;

(c) Subordination. Tenant fails to provide any documentation evidencing subordination of this Lease after request therefor pursuant to Section 12(a) above and such failure continues for five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of a second request for such documentation from Landlord’s or Landlord’s Mortgagees;

(d) Estoppel. Tenant fails to provide any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord pursuant to Section 26(e) below and such failure continues for five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s second request for such estoppel certificate;

Tenant fails to pay and release of record, or diligently contest and bond around, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Project for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant, within the time and in the manner required by Section 8(d) above;

(g) Misrepresentation. Any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements or other materials provided by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in connection with negotiating this Lease or in connection with any Transfer under Section 10 above;

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(h) OFAC/FCPA Representation. Tenant is or becomes in breach of Section 26(w) below;

(i) Other Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 17 or elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant’s failure to perform, comply with, or observe any other agreement or obligation of Tenant under this Lease and the continuance of such failure for a period of more than thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice thereof or such shorter period expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease (provided, if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more time is reasonably required in order to cure, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred and such failure may be cured if Tenant commences to cure such failure within such period and thereafter reasonably and diligently pursues the cure thereof to completion, such period in no event to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s original default notice); and

(j) Insolvency. The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall include, for the purpose of this Section 17(j), any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) (1) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (2) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law; (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease; (4) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant’s capital structure; or (5) in any assignment for the benefit of creditors proceeding; however, if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof.

18. Remedies. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, take any one or more of the following actions in accordance with procedures under applicable law:

(a) Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice thereof, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (1) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination, (2) all amounts due under Section 19(a) below, and (3) an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published on the date this Lease is terminated by The Wall Street Journal, Northwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates” plus two percent (2%), minus (B) the then-present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted.

(b) Termination of Possession. Terminate Tenant’s right to possess the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice thereof to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (1) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (2) all amounts due from time to time under Section 19(a) below, and (3) all Rent and other net sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period, after deducting all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises. If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 18(b), Landlord may, after ten (10) days notice to Tenant, remove all of Tenant’s property from the Premises and store the same in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant,

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

without becoming guilty of trespass, or liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned thereby. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a lease term different from the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises); however, Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other portions of the Building or Project and Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any prospective tenant proposed by Tenant unless such proposed tenant meets all of Landlord’s then-existing leasing criteria. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of any consideration obtained by reletting over the Rent due hereunder. Reentry by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant’s obligations hereunder for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring an action against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of the Term. Unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected to terminate this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to dispossess or exclude Tenant from the Premises shall be deemed to be taken under this Section 18(b). If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 18(b), it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease under Section 18(a) above.

(c) Perform Acts on Behalf of Tenant. Perform any act Tenant is obligated to perform under the terms of this Lease (and enter upon the Premises in connection therewith if necessary) in Tenant’s name and on Tenant’s behalf, without being liable for any claim for damages therefor, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable, actual, out of pocket expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (including collection costs and legal expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate.

In connection with any remedy exercised by Landlord, Landlord shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, mitigate damages.

19. Payment by Tenant; Non-Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) Payment by Tenant. After Lease termination by Landlord after any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, actual, out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs and expenses) in (1) obtaining possession of the Premises, (2) removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property, and (3) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into the condition required under this Lease, and in addition, upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable actual out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord in (A) acceptable to a new tenant, (4) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any part of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (B) performing Tenant’s obligations that Tenant failed to perform, and (C) enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the default.

(b) No Waiver. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord’s rights regarding such Event of Default. No waiver by either party of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive such party’s rights regarding any future violation of such term. Landlord’s acceptance of any partial payment of Rent shall not waive Landlord’s rights with regard to the remaining portion of the Rent that is due, regardless of any endorsement or other statement on any instrument delivered in payment of Rent or any writing delivered in connection therewith; accordingly, Landlord’s acceptance of a partial payment of Rent shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction of the full amount of the Rent that is due.

(c) Cumulative Remedies. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (1) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord or Tenant may have at law or in equity, (2) shall be cumulative, and (3) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord or Tenant may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord or Tenant shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude such party from exercising any other remedies in the future.

20. Surrender of Premises. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises with all improvements located therein in good repair and condition, free of Hazardous Materials placed on the Premises by Tenant during the Term, with all Cables removed if requested by Landlord under the provisions of Section 25 below, broom-clean, reasonable wear and tear (and condemnation and Casualty damage not caused by Tenant, as to which Sections 14 and 15 above, respectively, shall control) excepted, and shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant may remove all unattached trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture, and personal property placed in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or Project (including Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment, if any) by Tenant (but Tenant may not remove any such item that was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord unless Landlord requires such removal). Tenant shall remove all Alterations identified for removal as set forth in Section 8(a), above, and additionally, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall remove such trade fixtures, personal property, equipment (including Tenant’s Off-Premises Equipment, if any), and furniture as Landlord may request. All items not so removed shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord without additional payment to Tenant or credit against Rent be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

21. Holding Over. If Tenant, or anyone claiming under Tenant, fails to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, then Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over Tenant shall pay Rent at a monthly rate equal to 150% of the Basic Rent plus Additional Rent payable during the last calendar month of the Term for the first month of such holdover period, and two hundred percent (200%) thereafter, calculated and pro-rated on a daily basis, and Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. No holding over by Tenant after the end of the Term shall be construed to extend this

Lease. If Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liabilities resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holding over with the express written consent of Landlord shall constitute this Lease a lease from month-to-month (and shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease for any further term or an extension of the Term), and Tenant shall pay Rent at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Basic Rent plus the Additional Rent payable during the last calendar month of the Term, calculated and prorated on a daily basis, and Tenant shall otherwise be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 21 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

22. Certain Rights Reserved by Landlord. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not materially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to, use or occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall have the following rights:

(a) Building Operations. To decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Project, or any part thereof; to enter upon the Premises (after giving Tenant not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice thereof, except in cases of real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities; to change the name of the Building; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building. Subject to the terms set forth in Section 8(e) above, noise, dust or vibration or other incidents of construction, shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, affect this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.

(b) Security. To take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for the security of the Building and its occupants; evacuating the Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily denying access to the Building; and closing the Building after normal business hours and on Sundays and Holidays, subject, however, to Tenant’s right to enter when the Building is closed after normal business hours under such reasonable regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time;

(c) Current and Prospective Insurers, Purchasers, Investors and Mortgagees. To enter the Premises or any portion thereof at all reasonable hours upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (which may be written, delivered by e-mail or oral) to show the Premises or any portion thereof to current or prospective insurers, purchasers, investors or mortgagees and their respective brokers; and

(d) Prospective Tenants. At any time during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (or earlier if Tenant has notified Landlord in writing that it does not desire to renew the Term) to enter the Premises or any portion thereof at all reasonable hours to show the Premises or any portion thereof to prospective tenants and their brokers.

Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord as provided herein shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or detainer of, or a constructive eviction of Tenant from, any portion of the Premises, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages or abatement of Rent in connection with such entry.

23. Intentionally Omitted.

24. Interior Signage. Landlord shall (A) install one (1) Building standard identification sign identifying Tenant on the multi-tenant floor directory and (B) display Tenant’s name on the directory board for the Building located in the lobby of the Building. Landlord shall pay for the cost of the initial installation of such permitted signage, and Tenant shall pay for the cost of any changes thereto (which changes shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Tenant may install identification signage at the entrance to the Premises, subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in Landlord’s sign criteria (if any) to the contrary, (1) with respect to identification signage at the main entrance to the Premises, Landlord hereby consents to, and Tenant shall be permitted to use, Tenant’s then-current trademarked name(s), colors, letters, font and logo, and (2) Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent for any promotional or advertising signs or displays within the interior of the Premises (but only to the extent that the same are not intended to be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord).

25. Telecommunications and Communications.

(a) Tenant’s Telecommunications Providers. Tenant and its telecommunications companies, including local exchange telecommunications companies and alternative access vendor services companies, shall have no right of access to and within the Building or any other portion of the Project, for the installation and operation of telecommunications systems, including voice, video, data, Internet, and any other services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless, and any other transmission systems (“Telecommunications Services”), for part or all of Tenant’s telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any other location without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and subject to the prior execution and delivery of an access agreement on Landlord’s standard form. All providers of Telecommunications Services shall be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Building, applicable Laws and Landlord’s policies and practices for the Building. Tenant

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to provide or arrange for any Telecommunications Services and that Landlord shall have no liability to any Tenant Party in connection with the installation, operation or maintenance of Telecommunications Services or any equipment or facilities relating thereto. Tenant, at its cost and for its own account, shall be solely responsible for obtaining all Telecommunications Services.

(b) Cable Work. Tenant may install, maintain, replace and remove (collectively, the “Cable Work”) and use any communications or computer wires, cables, fibers, connections and related telecommunications equipment and/or other facilities for telecommunications (collectively, “Cable(s)”) within or serving the Premises, provided: (1) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, shall use an experienced, licensed and qualified contractor approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall comply with provisions of Section 8 above and shall not interfere with the use of any then-existing Cables within or serving the Building, (2) an acceptable number of spare Cables and space for additional Cables shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Building, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, (3) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Cables therefor (including riser Cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (4) the Cables shall be clearly marked with adhesive plastic labels (or plastic tags attached to such Cables with wire) to show Tenant’s name, suite number, telephone number and the name of the person to contact in the case of an emergency (A) every four feet (4’) outside the Premises (including the electrical room risers and other Common Areas), and (B) at the Cables’ termination point(s), and (5) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord shall at all times maintain exclusive control over all risers (including their use) in the Building. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Cables located in or serving the Premises that are installed by or on behalf of Tenant in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any applicable Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition, within three (3) days after receipt of notice by Tenant or such longer period of time as is reasonably necessary.

(c) Landlord’s Reserved Rights. Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to) (i) install new Cables at the Building, (ii) create additional space for Cables at the Building, and (iii) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of the allocation and periodic re allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Cables now or hereafter installed at the Building by Landlord, Tenant or any other person. Such rights shall not be in limitation of other rights that may be available to Landlord by Law, in equity or otherwise. If Landlord exercises any such rights, Landlord may charge Tenant for such costs attributable to Tenant, or may include those costs and all other such costs in Operating Costs (including, costs for acquiring and installing Cables and risers to accommodate new Cables and spare Cables, any associated computerized system and software for maintaining records of Cable connections, and the fees of any consulting engineers and other experts); provided, any capital expenditures included in Operating Costs hereunder shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost) over the period of time prescribed by Section 4(b) above.

(d) Removal Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall remove any or all Cables within or serving the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to remove any such Cables, or violates any other provision of this Section 25, Landlord may, after twenty (20)-days’ notice to Tenant, remove such Cables or remedy such other violation, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease, at Law or in equity), which amount plus five percent (5%) thereof shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord in each instance (which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion), grant to any third party a security interest in, or lien on, any Cables, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, and without limiting the provisions of Section 25(a) above, except to the extent arising from the intentional or negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that the Tenant’s use of any Cable will be free from the following (collectively, “Cable Problems”): (1) any eavesdropping or wiretapping by unauthorized parties, (2) any failure of any Cable to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (3) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Cables or by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Building to conform to any requirements for the Cables or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Cable by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Cable Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Cable Problems. The provisions of this Section 25 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

26. Miscellaneous.

(a) Landlord Transfer. Landlord may transfer any portion of the Project and any of its rights under this Lease, in the Project and in any other property referred to herein. If Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder arising after the date of transfer, provided that the assignee assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising from and after the transfer date.

(b) Landlord’s Liability. The liability of the Landlord Parties to Tenant (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant) under the terms of this Lease or any matter relating to or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or other areas of the Project shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor and shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Project, including rents and issue of the Building, as well as any insurance proceeds which Landlord receives (following payment of any outstanding liens and/or mortgages, whether attributable to sales or insurance proceeds or otherwise). Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest in the Project for the recovery of any judgment against any Landlord Party. No Landlord Party shall be personally liable for any such judgment, award or deficiency after execution thereon and Tenant hereby waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.

The limitations of liability contained in this Section 26(b) shall apply equally and inure to the benefit of the Landlord Parties, present and future advisors, beneficiaries, participants, representatives and their respective constituent partners, members, shareholders, trustees, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future general or limited partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), member of Landlord (if Landlord is a limited liability company) or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner or member of Landlord is a trust) have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, nor shall negative capital account of any constituent partner or member in Landlord (or in a constituent member or partner of Landlord) nor any obligation of any constituent member or partner of Landlord (or in any other constituent member or partner of Landlord) to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to Landlord (or to any constituent member or partner of Landlord), at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Landlord or such other constituent member or partner (and neither Tenant nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account of such a member’s or partner’s obligation to restore or contribute). Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, no Landlord Party shall be liable for any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or for any form of special or consequential damage, in each case however occurring. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any further limitation of liability that might otherwise apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions of this Section 26(b) shall be deemed to release any insurance carrier that insures Landlord’s liability to Tenant or to third parties from any obligation to make any payment to Tenant pursuant to any such insurance policy, it being agreed that any release of Landlord for any obligation to Tenant is not intended to and does not release Landlord’s insurance carrier from the obligation of paying such loss on Landlord’s behalf. The provisions of this Section 26(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(c) Force Majeure. Other than for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease that can be performed by the payment of money (e.g., payment of Rent and maintenance of insurance), whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by either party hereto, such party shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts or activities, Laws or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever that are beyond the control of such party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 26(c) shall (1) permit Tenant to holdover in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or (2) excuse any obligation to pay Rent, any of Tenant’s obligations under Section 9 above, or Section 26(u) below, or any of Tenant’s obligations whose nonperformance would interfere with any other occupant’s use, occupancy or enjoyment of its respective premises or the Project.

(d) Brokerage. Neither Landlord nor Tenant has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease, other than Colliers International (representing Tenant) and Urbis Partners, LLC (representing Landlord), whose commissions (if any) shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate written agreements. Each party acknowledges receipt of a copy of the pamphlet described in RCW 18.86.030(f) entitled “The Law of Real Estate Agency,” as required by Washington Law. Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liens and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party.

(e) Estoppel Certificates. From time to time, Tenant shall furnish to any person designated by Landlord (which may include Landlord), within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s request therefor, an estoppel certificate signed by Tenant in favor of such party, confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations as to this Lease as may be reasonably requested. Unless otherwise required by a Landlord’s Mortgagee or a prospective purchaser or mortgagee of, or investor in, the Project, the form of estoppel certificate to be signed by Tenant shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord such signed estoppel certificate and/or statement within such required time period, then after a second notice from Landlord specifying that the failure to respond within five (5) days shall be deemed an admission (so long as Landlord has made the following statements in good faith), Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee and any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or investor, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (1) this Lease and the guaranty thereof, if any, is in full force and effect; (2) the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) not more than one (1) monthly installment of Basic Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent or other charges; and (5) Landlord is not in default under this Lease.

All notices shall be effective upon delivery to the address of the addressee (even if such addressee refuses delivery thereof). The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.

(g) Separability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future Laws, then the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and in lieu of such clause or provision, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible, which clause or provision shall be legal, valid, and enforceable.

(h) Amendments; Binding Effect; No Electronic Records. This Lease may not be amended except by instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by a party unless such waiver is in writing signed by such party, and no custom or practice that may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of a party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof. The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors in interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and, other than Landlord’s Mortgagee, no third-party shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary hereof.

(i) Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. It is understood and agreed that this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its and their respective ownership of the Landlord’s interest hereunder.

(j) No Merger. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof if the same person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, this Lease or any interest in this Lease and the fee estate in the leasehold Premises or any interest in such fee estate.

(k) Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings relating thereto. Except for those set forth in this Lease, no representations, warranties, or agreements have been made by Landlord or Tenant to the other with respect to this Lease or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant in connection therewith. The normal rule of construction that any ambiguities be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

(l) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.

(m) Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Washington.

(n) Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord, and any recordation by Tenant shall be a material breach of this Lease that cannot be cured. Tenant grants to Landlord a power of attorney to execute and record a release releasing any such recorded instrument of record that was recorded without the prior consent of Landlord.

(p) Joint and Several Liability. If Tenant is comprised of more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and severally liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. All unperformed obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed at the end of the Term shall survive the end of the Term, including payment obligations with respect to Rent, all indemnity obligations and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

(q) Financial Reports. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant will furnish Tenant’s most recent audited financial statements (including any notes to them) to Landlord, or, if no such audited statements have been prepared, such other financial statements (and notes to them) as may have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or, failing those, Tenant’s internally prepared financial statements. If and when Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, Tenant does not need to comply with the terms of this Section, and Landlord may review Tenant’s publicly available financial statements. Landlord will not disclose any aspect of Tenant’s financial statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except (1) to a Landlord’s Mortgagee or prospective mortgagees or purchasers of, or investors in, the Project, (2) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant, and/or (3) if required by Law or court order. Tenant shall not be required to deliver the financial statements required under this Section 26(q) more than once in any 12-month period unless requested by a Landlord’s Mortgagee or a prospective mortgagee or purchaser of, or investor in, the Project or an Event of Default occurs.

(r) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Prevailing Party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. The term, “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment or abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense.

(s) Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges that the content of this Lease and any related documents are confidential information. Tenant shall keep such confidential information strictly confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant’s financial, legal, and space planning consultants and to investors, lenders, consultants, accountants and assignees, or to the extent that disclosure is mandated by applicable Laws, the Securities Exchange Commission or the rules of any stock exchange upon which Tenant’s (or Tenant’s parent’s) shares are from time to time traded; provided, however, to the extent that this Lease is placed in the public domain as a result of Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission or with the requirements of applicable Laws (and not as a result of Tenant’s breach of the terms of this Section 26(s)), then the terms of this Section 26(s) shall no longer be applicable to this Lease. Tenant shall be liable for any disclosures made in violation of this Section 26(s) by Tenant or by any entity or individual to whom the terms and conditions of this Lease were disclosed or made available by Tenant. The consent by Landlord to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Landlord of any prohibition against any future disclosure.

(t) Authority. Tenant (if a corporation, partnership or other business entity) hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the State of Washington, that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so, and that Landlord owns and holds fee title in and to the Building, the Premises, and the Land enabling Landlord to enter into an enforceable lease with Tenant on the terms and conditions contained herein.

(u) Hazardous Materials.

(1) The term “Hazardous Materials” means any substance, material, or waste that is now or hereafter classified or considered to be hazardous, toxic, or dangerous under any Law relating to pollution or the protection or regulation of human health, natural resources or the environment, or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health or safety of persons on the Premises or in the Project.

(2) Tenant shall not use, generate, store, or dispose of, or permit the use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises or the Project except in a manner and quantity necessary for the ordinary performance of Tenant’s business, and then in compliance with all Laws. If Tenant breaches its obligations under this Section 26(u). Landlord may upon five (5) days prior notice to Tenant, or such shorter time required by Law or in order to minimize any hazard to person or property, take any and all action reasonably appropriate to remedy the same, including taking all appropriate action to clean-up or remediate any contamination resulting from Tenant’s use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, and Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord an amount equal to Landlord’s costs plus five percent (5%) for overhead which shall be payable within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, together with supporting evidence. Notwithstanding Landlord’s indemnity contained in Section 11(d) above, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and its representatives and agents from and against any and all Claims (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, cost of clean-up investigation and remediation) arising from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 26(u). To the extent that Landlord is held strictly liable by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction due to Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, Tenant’s obligation to Landlord under the foregoing indemnification shall likewise be without regard to fault on Tenant’s part.

(3) Landlord will, at its sole expense, remove or remediate any Hazardous Materials in the Premises or the Project, in violation of any Laws, caused by Landlord or the Landlord Parties, which shall in no event include any Hazardous Materials introduced into the Premises during the term of the Prior Lease by Tenant (or Tenant’s predecessors-in-interest under the Prior Lease) or any Tenant Party. To the extent Hazards Materials are present in the Premises or the Project, in violation of any Laws and such presence is caused by another tenant of the Project, then Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any rights it may have against such tenant to remove or remediate. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from and against any liability, obligation, damage or costs, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, resulting directly or indirectly from any use, presence, removal or disposal of any Hazardous Materials to the extent such liability, obligation, damage or costs was a result of actions caused or knowingly permitted by Landlord or a Landlord Party.

it shall be considered an Event of Default under this Lease as to which there shall be no right to notice or an opportunity to cure, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies set forth in this Lease including, without limitation, immediate termination of this Lease. To the best of Landlord’s knowledge Landlord is not a person or entity with whom Tenant is restricted from doing business with under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including, but not limited to, those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any related statute, Executive Order (including, but not limited to, the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other similar governmental action.

(x) Survival of Obligations. Any obligations of the parties accruing prior to the end of the Term shall survive, and the parties shall promptly perform all such obligations whether or not this Lease has expired or earlier terminated.

(y) Intentionally Omitted.

(z) Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion.

(aa) Business Days. For purposes of this Lease, “Business Days” means all calendar days other than Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. If the date for performance of any covenant or obligation under this Lease shall fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the date for performance thereof shall be deemed to be the next following Business Day.

(bb) Terms; Captions. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. The captions of Sections are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of such Sections.

Wherever this Lease requires Tenant to comply with any Law, rule, regulation, program, procedure or other requirement or prohibits Tenant from engaging in any particular conduct, this Lease shall be deemed also to require Tenant to cause each of its employees, licensees, invitees and subtenants, and any other person claiming by, through or under Tenant, to comply with such requirement or refrain from engaging in such conduct, as the case may be.

(cc) Bicycle Parking. In connection with this Lease, Landlord shall provide bicycle parking racks for bicycle parking. Landlord may elect to provide such bicycle parking racks at the Building or at the adjacent office building located at 0000 0^xx Xxxxxx (the “Adjacent Building”), which Adjacent Building is owned by an affiliate of Landlord. Tenant’s use of such bicycle parking racks shall be for the parking of bicycles only, and shall be in common with the other tenants and occupants of the Building and the Adjacent Building on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that such Adjacent Building is ever no longer owned by an affiliate of Landlord, or by Landlord, then Landlord shall have no further obligation to provide any such bicycle parking at the Adjacent Building, and shall instead provide bicycle parking racks in an area(s) of the Project solely determined by Landlord, and Tenant’s use of such bicycle parking racks shall be for the parking of bicycles only, and shall be in common with the other tenants and occupants of the Building on a first-come, first-served basis. The rate payable by Tenant for the use of such bicycle parking racks shall be the prevailing rate charged from time to time for other patrons of the bicycle parking racks. The bicycle parking provided to Tenant pursuant to this Section 26(cc) is provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such use may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval, which will not be withheld in connection with any sublease or assignment carried out in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The cost of the operation, maintenance and repair of such bicycle parking area(s) shall be included in the Operating Expenses to the extent consistent the terms set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the bicycle parking racks will be secure, but Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of such bicycle parking racks. Tenant further assumes the risk that any safety and security devices, services and programs which Landlord elects, in its sole discretion, to provide may not be effective, or may malfunction or be circumvented by an unauthorized third party, and Tenant shall, in addition to its other insurance obligations under this Lease, obtain its own insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against losses related to such occurrences.

(dd) Removal of Property. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may, from time to time and any time during the Term, elect to finance or lease furniture, fixtures and/or equipment to be used by Tenant in the Premises. In the event of any such furniture, fixtures and/or equipment loan/lease, upon request of the equipment lender/lessor, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, enter into a commercially reasonable form of waiver agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord whereby Landlord shall waive its rights under this Lease with respect to such furniture, fixtures and/or equipment.

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter (“Tenant Work Letter”) shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to “the Lease” shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit D.

SECTION 1

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES

1.1 In General. Landlord shall deliver, and Tenant shall accept, the base, shell and core of (i) the Premises and (ii) the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located (collectively, the “Base, Shell and Core”) in its current “AS-IS” condition and configuration existing as of the date of the Lease. Tenant shall install in the Premises certain “Tenant Improvements” (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter. Except for Landlord’s obligation to disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance as described below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, Building or any other portion of the Project.

1.2 Landlord Work. Notwithstanding the terms set forth in Section 1.1, above, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost, cause the work delineated on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Landlord’s Work”) to be completed.

1.3 Construction Phases. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Tenant Improvements will be constructed in phases, with the Tenant Improvements in the Initial Premises to be constructed by Tenant following Landlord’s delivery of the Initial Premises to Tenant, and the Tenant Improvements in the Must-Take Premises to be constructed by Tenant following Landlord’s delivery of the Must-Take Premises to Tenant. All references herein to “Premises” shall mean the Initial Premises or the Must-Take Premises, as applicable.

SECTION 2

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance.

2.1.1 In General. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of up to, but not exceeding, $55.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements that are permanently affixed to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount that exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

EXHIBIT D

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

2.1.2 Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance. In addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 2.1.1, above, Tenant shall, only if so elected by Tenant in writing prior to the Substantial Completion (as defined below) of the Tenant Improvements and only to the extent the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 2.1.1, above, be entitled to a one-time additional allowance increase in an amount not to exceed $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Additional Improvement Allowance”) to be used solely for hard costs in the construction of the Tenant Improvements. In the event Tenant exercises its right to use all or any portion of the Additional Improvement Allowance, the monthly Basic Rent for the Premises for the initial Lease Term shall be increased by an amount equal to the “Additional Monthly Basic Rent,” as that term is defined below, in order to repay the Additional Improvement Allowance to Landlord. The “Additional Monthly Basic Rent” shall be determined as the missing component of an annuity, which annuity shall have (i) the amount of the Additional Improvement Allowance utilized by Tenant as the present value amount, (ii) ninety (90) as the number of payments, (iii) 0.667, which is equal to eight percent (8%) divided by twelve (12) months per year, as the monthly interest factor, and (iv) the Additional Monthly Basic Rent as the missing component of the annuity. In the event Tenant uses all or any portion of the Additional Improvement Allowance, then all references in this Tenant Work Letter to the “Tenant Improvement Allowance” (other than for purposes of Section 2.1.3, below) shall be deemed to include the Additional Improvement Allowance utilized by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and hereby agrees to pay to Landlord the full amount of the Additional Improvement Allowance requested by Tenant and disbursed by Landlord as provided herein (including interest, as provided herein above), and accordingly, hereby further agrees that in no event shall any provision of this Lease relating to any abatement, reduction, cessation or other modification of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, Section 7, Section 14, Section 15 and Exhibit H of this Lease) be deemed to affect, modify, reduce or otherwise apply with respect to Tenant’s obligation to pay the Additional Improvement Allowance to Landlord, and which obligation shall continue to survive any early termination of this Lease until the full amount of the Additional Improvement Allowance requested by Tenant and disbursed by Landlord (including interest as provided herein) has been paid to Landlord.

2.1.3 Tenant Improvement Excess. In the event that following the completion of the construction of Tenant Improvements in both portions of the Premises (i.e., the Initial Premises and the Must-Take Premises), the total aggregate final cost of the design, permitting, supervision and construction of the Tenant Improvements (including any increase in such final costs due to any revisions, changes, or substitutions made to any of the Construction Documents or the Tenant Improvements) (collectively, the “Total Construction Cost”), is less than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (which, for purposes of this Section 2.1.3, shall not include the Additional Improvement Allowance), then Tenant may elect, by written notice to Landlord for Landlord to provide Tenant with a credit (the “Construction Cost Credit”) against the payment of Basic Rent next due and owing for the Premises in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Tenant Improvement Allowance and (ii) the Total Construction Cost; provided, however, in no event shall the Construction Cost Credit exceed an amount equal to $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises. If the Tenant Improvement Allowance is not fully used (either to pay for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, as defined below, or as a Construction Cost Credit) within ninety (90) days following the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, then any such unused amount shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights thereto.

2.2.1.4 The cost of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core work when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

2.2.1.5 The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by applicable Laws and building codes (collectively, “Code”);

2.2.1.8 The Coordination Fee (as defined below); and

Other disbursement items, including design fees, permit fees, etc. shall be consolidated into single invoice with a summary of individual line items with reasonable level of backup as required. Payments shall be net 30 from date of submittal. Landlord’s obligation to disburse installments of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be subject to the following requirements: (i) inspection by Landlord of the Premises and Landlord’s determination in its reasonable judgment that the portion of the Tenant Improvement work that is the subject of the applicable Payment Application has been completed in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and applicable Code (provided, however, that such determination shall in no way constitute Landlord’s endorsement or certification that such work has in fact been constructed in conformance with the Approved Working Drawings or applicable Code), and that any repairs to the Premises necessitated by such portion of the Tenant Improvement work have been made to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord; (ii) receipt by Landlord of appropriate individual receipts and invoices for the total amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items included in the portion of the Tenant Improvement work that is the subject of the applicable Payment Application; (iii) conditional lien waivers from the Contractor and all other Tenant Agents (as defined below) furnishing labor or materials with respect to the portion of the Tenant Improvement work that is the subject of the Payment Application and unconditional lien waivers with respect to all portions of the Tenant Improvement work for which payment has been received (whether from Landlord or Tenant) from the Contractor and all other Tenant Agents furnishing labor or materials with respect to such Tenant Improvement work and upon Landlord’s request based upon reasonable cause, from individual laborers, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (iv) receipt by Landlord of all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord shall disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance in installments, with checks issued by Landlord to Tenant in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount requested in the Payment Application less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of which shall be referred to as the “Landlord’s Final Retention”) and (B) the remaining amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (not including the Landlord Final Retention).

2.2.2.2 Final Retention. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided Landlord does not reasonably and in good faith dispute the payment of the Landlord’s Final Retention to Tenant based upon noncompliance of any work with the Approved Working Drawings, Landlord’s Final Retention shall be disbursed to or on behalf of Tenant within thirty (30) days after each and every one of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) receipt by Landlord of a final Payment Application (the “Final Payment Application”) from Tenant requesting the Landlord’s Final Retention; (ii) inspection by Landlord of the Premises and Landlord’s determination that the Tenant Improvement work has been completed (including all punch-list items) in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and applicable Code (provided, however, that such determination shall in no way constitute Landlord’s endorsement or certification that the work has in fact been constructed in conformance with the Approved Working Drawings or applicable Code), and that any repairs to

2.2.2.3 Other Terms. Landlord shall only be obligated to make disbursements from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items. Tenant’s submission to Landlord of a Payment Application shall be deemed to be Tenant’s acceptance and approval of the work furnished and/or materials supplied as set forth in such Payment Application and shall further be deemed Tenant’s certification that the work for which disbursement is being requested has been completed in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and applicable Code, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s rights against the Contractor or any other of Tenant’s Agents with respect to, or approval of, such work and/or materials.

2.2.2.4. Failure to Disburse tenant Improvement Allowance. If Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to deliver notice (the “Payment Notice”) thereof to Landlord. If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver notice to Tenant within such thirty (30) day period explaining Landlord’s reasons that Landlord believes that the amounts described in Tenant’s Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (“Refusal Notice”), Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount so owed to Tenant by Landlord but not paid by Landlord (or if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice but only with respect to a portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice and Landlord fails to pay such undisputed amount as required by the next succeeding sentence, the undisputed amount so owed to Tenant), together with interest at the Interest Rate from the last day of such thirty (30) day period until the date of offset, against Tenant’s next obligations to pay Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice disputing a portion of the amount set forth in Tenant’s Payment Notice, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, the undisputed portion of the amount set forth in the Payment Notice. However, if there is an Event of Default under Section 17 of this Lease at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable, Tenant shall not be entitled to such offset until such Event of Default is cured. If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the disputed amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Refusal Notice, Tenant may commence an action with respect to such disputed amounts. If Tenant prevails in any such action, the award shall include interest at the Interest Rate calculated from the date of funding by Tenant, if any, or the date such amount was otherwise due to Tenant, as the case may be, until the date of Landlord’s payment of such award. Similarly, if Tenant prevails in any such arbitration, Tenant shall be entitled to apply such award as a credit against Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent, and the award shall include interest at the Default Rate calculated from the date of funding by Tenant, if any, until the date of Tenant’s application of such amounts as a credit against Rent.

2.3 Standard Tenant Improvement Package. Landlord has established specifications for the Building standard components (the “Specifications”) to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Standard Improvement Package”), which Specifications have been received and reviewed by Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall comply with the Specifications for all Tenant Improvement components that have been pre-stocked by Landlord. With respect to all other Tenant Improvement components, Tenant shall utilize materials and finishes that are not of lesser quality than the Specifications. Landlord may make changes to the Specifications for the Standard Improvement Package from time to time.

2.4 Space Planning Allowance. Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for an initial space plan for the Premises in an amount not to exceed Fifteen Cents ($0.15) per rentable square foot of the Premises, which amount shall not be deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

PARKING

(1) Tenant Parking Passes. Tenant shall have the option, at Tenant’s sole election, to license from Landlord throughout the Term of the Lease a total of one (1) parking pass for each 2,000 rentable square feet of the Premises, which pass shall be for parking in non-exclusive, unreserved, first-come first-served parking spaces (collectively, “Tenant Parking Passes”) in the Project’s parking facilities (the “Parking Facility”), subject to such terms, conditions and regulations as are from time to time applicable to patrons of the Parking Facility. Nothing herein shall require Tenant to purchase any Tenant Parking Passes. The rate payable by Tenant for Tenant Parking Passes shall be the rate charged from time to time to patrons of the Parking Facility for other non-exclusive, unreserved, first-come, first-served parking spaces (plus all applicable taxes), which as of the date of this Lease is $334.00 per pass per month.

(2) Conditions on Use. The use by Tenant, its employees, suppliers, shippers or customers and invitees, of the Parking Facility shall be on the terms and conditions reasonably established by Landlord (or Landlord’s agent), and shall be subject to such other agreement between Landlord and Tenant as may hereinafter be established. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated for such activities by Landlord. Tenant shall not store or permit its employees to store any automobiles in the Parking Facility, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Except for emergency repairs, Tenant and its employees shall not perform any work on any automobiles while located in the Parking Facility or on the Property. If it is necessary for Tenant or its employees to leave an automobile in the Parking Facility, overnight, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior notice thereof designating the license plate number and model of such automobile. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the reasonable cost to Tenant, which cost shall be payable within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice from Landlord, together with reasonable supporting evidence. Tenant shall have no right to assign or sublicense any of its rights in the Tenant Parking Passes, except as part of a permitted assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s rights hereunder (including termination of any parking agreement related thereto) with respect to any of the Tenant Parking Passes that Tenant desires to sublicense or assign except as part of a permitted assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises. Landlord may, in its discretion, allocate and assign parking spaces in the Parking Facility among Tenant and other tenants and occupants in the Project so long as Tenant’s right to the Tenant Parking Passes remains unaffected. Landlord shall also have the right from time to time to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations regarding the Parking Facility, the Tenant Parking Passes and the use thereof, including rules and regulations controlling the flow of traffic to and from various areas of the Parking Facility, the angle and direction of parking and the like. Tenant shall comply with and cause its employees to comply with all such rules and regulations, all reasonable additions and amendments thereto, and the terms and provisions hereof. Landlord may elect to provide parking cards or keys to control access to the Parking Facility. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with one (1) card or key for each of the Tenant Parking Passes, provided that

EXHIBIT G

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant or its employees to place a deposit on such access cards or keys and to pay a fee for any lost or damaged cards or keys. Tenant’s use of the Parking Facility shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall have no liability for any personal injury or damage or theft of any vehicles or other property occurring in the Parking Facility, regardless of whether such loss or theft occurs when the Parking Facility or other areas therein are locked or otherwise secured. Except as caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons using the Parking Facility, or automobiles or other property therein, it being agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the parking spaces in the Parking Facility shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Facility and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close off or restrict access to the Parking Facility or relocate Tenant’s parking to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance of the Project, for purposes of permitting or facilitating construction, repair, maintenance, alteration or improvements with respect to the Parking Facility, or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located at the Project or at the location of the Parking Facility, as the case may be, or if required as a result of any Force Majeure events. If, for any reason, Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with the use all or any portion of the Tenant Parking Passes for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive Business Days, then Tenant’s obligation to pay for such Tenant Parking Passes shall be abated commencing on the expiration of such three (3) business-day period and continuing until Tenant’s use thereof is restored, which abatement shall be in full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord because of Landlord’s failure or inability to provide Tenant with such parking spaces. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no deductions or allowances shall be made for any days when Tenant and/or any of its employees does not utilize the Parking Facility or any of the Tenant Parking Passes. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator, in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord or the parking operator, as applicable, the standard parking agreement used by Landlord or the parking operator for the Parking Facility. Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of any such parking operator, except as otherwise provided in this Lease.

RENT ABATEMENT PROVISION

The Basic Rent with respect to the Initial Premises shall be conditionally abated during the period commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending on June 30, 2015. The total amount of such abatement with respect to the Initial Premises shall be $405,009.00 (i.e., $67,501.50 per month). In addition, the Basic Rent with respect to the Must-Take Premises shall be conditionally abated for the first five (5) full months of the Term following the Must-Take Commencement Date. The total amount of such abatement with respect to the Must-Take Premises shall be $163,267.50 (i.e., $32,653.50 per month). As provided in this Lease, Tenant shall, concurrently with its execution of this Lease, pay to Landlord Basic Rent for the seventh (7^th) month of the Term; thereafter, Tenant shall make Basic Rent payments as otherwise provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding such abatement of Basic Rent (a) all other sums due under this Lease, including Additional Rent, shall be payable as provided in this Lease, and (b) any increases in Basic Rent set forth in this Lease shall occur on the dates scheduled therefor. The amount of Basic Rent conditionally abated pursuant to this Exhibit H shall be referred to herein as the “Abated Rent”.

The Abated Rent provided for in this Exhibit H is conditioned upon Tenant’s full and timely performance of all of its obligations under this Lease. If at any time during the Term an Event of Default by Tenant occurs and this Lease is terminated as a result thereof, then the abatement of Basic Rent provided for in this Exhibit H shall immediately become void, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts due to Landlord under this Lease, the full amount of the Abated Rent.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if Tenant elects to utilize the Additional Improvement Allowance provided in Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, the abatement of Basic Rent provided for herein shall not apply to Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Monthly Basic Rent, and that Tenant shall be required to commence making monthly payments of Additional Monthly Basic Rent on the later to occur of (i) the Commencement Date and (ii) the date upon which Tenant exercises its right to utilize such Additional Improvement Allowance.

At any time prior to the expiration of the periods to which such Abated Rent shall apply, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Rent Credit Option”), in lieu of all or any portion of the Abated Rent, to elect by notice to Tenant (the “Rent Credit Election Notice”) to disburse to Tenant an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Basic Rent that would have otherwise been abated pursuant to this Lease during the period specified in the Rent Credit Election Notice (the “Abated Base Rent Payment Amount”), and (ii) the Abated Base Rent Income Tax Amount, as that term is defined below, if any, either in a lump sum on or before the first day of the first calendar month of the period specified in the Rent Credit Notice or in monthly installments in an amount equal to the Basic Rent due for each calendar month during the period specified in the Rent Credit Notice on or before the first day of each such calendar month. Within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s receipt of the notice that Landlord has elected to exercise the Rent Credit Option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written opinion from Tenant’s tax department to Landlord (which opinion shall be certified as true and correct on behalf of Tenant by Tenant’s chief financial officer) setting forth with reasonably particularity

the income tax liability, if any, that Tenant would incur strictly as a result of receiving the payment of the Abated Base Rent Payment Amount (the “Abated Base Rent Income Tax Amount”) together with Tenant’s corresponding obligation to pay Basic Rent for the Premises, and Tenant’s failure to provide such written opinion with the foregoing ten (10) business day period shall result in Landlord having no obligation to pay the Abated Base Rent Income Tax Amount. If Landlord exercises the Rent Credit Option, and so long as Landlord disburses said amount(s) as set forth hereinabove, then during the period specified in the Rent Credit Election Notice (a) the abatement of Basic Rent set forth herein shall be of no force or effect and (b) Tenant shall pay all of the Basic Rent due under this Lease at the time and in the manner set forth in the Basic Lease Information of this Lease, without regard to any Abated Rent. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord, including reasonable amendments to this Lease, to permit Landlord to exercise the Rent Credit Option in a manner reasonably required by Landlord or any Landlord’s Mortgagee.

EXTENSION OPTION

(1) Option Term. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Tenant shall have one (1) option (an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”). If Tenant properly exercises the Extension Option, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect during the Option Term, including provisions regarding payment of Rent, which shall remain payable on the terms herein set forth, except that (a) the Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term shall be as calculated in accordance with Section 3 and Section 4 below, (b) Tenant shall continue to possess and occupy the Premises in their existing condition, “as is” as of the commencement of such Option Term, and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair, remodel, improve or alter the Premises, to perform any other construction or other work of improvement upon the Premises or the Project (other than as set forth in this Lease), and (c) Tenant shall have no further rights to extend the Term of this Lease after the expiration of the Option Term.

(2) Exercise. To exercise the Extension Option, Tenant must deliver an irrevocable, unconditional binding notice to Landlord (“Exercise Notice”) not sooner than fifteen (15) months, nor later than nine (9) months, prior to the Expiration Date, the time of such exercise being of the essence. If Tenant fails to timely give its notice of exercise with respect to the Extension Option, Tenant will be deemed to have waived the Extension Option.

(3) Market Rate Calculation. The Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises during the Option Term shall be the Market Rate (as defined below) for the Premises, valued as of the commencement of the Option Term, determined in the manner hereinafter provided. As used in this Exhibit I, the term “Market Rate” shall mean the annual amount of Basic Rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space under then-prevailing ordinary rental market practices (e.g., not pursuant to extraordinary rental, promotional deals or other concessions to tenants that deviate from what is the then-prevailing ordinary practice), at arm’s length, that is comparable to the Premises within the Building or in Comparison Buildings, based upon binding lease transactions for tenants in the Comparison Buildings that, where possible, commence or are to commence within six (6) months prior to or within six (6) months after the commencement of the Option Term (the “Comparison Leases”). Rental rates payable under Comparison Leases shall be adjusted to account for variations between this Lease and the Comparison Leases with respect to: (a) the length of the Option Term compared to the renewal or extension term of the Comparison Leases; (b) rental structure, including, rental rates per rentable square foot (including type, gross or net, and if gross, adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, annual rent adjustments, escalation provisions, all other payments and escalations; (c) the size of the Premises compared to the size of the premises of the Comparison Leases; (d) free rent, moving expenses and other cash payments, allowances or other monetary concessions affecting the rental rate; (e) the age and quality of construction of the buildings; and (f) leasehold improvements and/or allowances, taking into account the value of existing leasehold improvements to the existing tenant.

EXHIBIT I

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(4) Basic Rent Determination. The Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises during the Option Term shall be determined as follows:

(a) If Tenant provides Landlord with its Exercise Notice, then, prior to the commencement of the Option Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a good faith written proposal of the Market Rate. Within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of Landlord’s proposal, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (1) that Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposal or (2) that Tenant elects to submit the determination of Market Rate to arbitration in accordance with Section 4(b) below. If Tenant does not give Landlord a timely notice in response to Landlord’s proposal, Landlord’s proposal of Market Rate shall be binding upon Tenant.

(b) In the event Tenant elects to submit the determination of Market Rate to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rate using reasonable good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s objection to Landlord’s Market Rate (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Market Rate within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections (4)(b)(i) through (4)(b)(vii) below.

(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker, appraiser or attorney who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of the Comparison Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate, is the closest to the actual Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section (3), above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed the “Advocate Arbitrators”.

(ii) The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that neither the Landlord or Tenant or either party’s Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior to subsequent to his or her appearance. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel.

(iii) The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator reach a decision as to Market Rate and determine whether the Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of Market Rate as submitted pursuant Section 4(b), above, is closest to Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators and simultaneously publish a ruling (“Award”) indicating whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate is closest to the Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators. Following notification of the Award, the Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate determination, whichever is selected by the arbitrators as being closest to Market rent shall become the then applicable Market Rate.

EXHIBIT I

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

(iv) The Award issued by the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(v) If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section (4)(b)(4)(i), above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator.

(vi) If the two Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section (4)(b)(4)(i) above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator.

(vii) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

(c) Until the matter is resolved by agreement between the parties or a decision is rendered in any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Exhibit I, Tenant’s monthly payments of Basic Rent shall be in an amount equal to Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate. Within ten (10) Business Days following the resolution of such dispute by the parties or the decision of the arbitrator, as applicable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, the amount of any deficiency or excess, as the case may be, in the Basic Rent theretofore paid.

(5) Rights Personal to Tenant. The Extension Option is personal to, may be exercised only by, the Original Tenant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer under the terms of Section 10(h) of this Lease, shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily to, or exercised by, any person other than the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee, and shall only be exercisable if the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee occupies not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises at the time Landlord or such Permitted Transferee receives the Exercise Notice and at the commencement date of the Option Term. If the Original Tenant shall transfer this Lease (or any interest therein), or any portion of the Premises (other than a transfer of its entire interest in this Lease or the Premises to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer), then simultaneously with such transfer Tenant’s Extension Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. No transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (or any interest therein) or any portion of the Premises (other than a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer) shall have any right to extend the Term pursuant to this Exhibit I.

(6) Conditions of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything in this Exhibit I to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred (and has not been cured within the applicable notice and cure period) on or prior to the date Tenant’s Exercise Notice is received by Landlord or at any time thereafter until the commencement of the Option Term, Landlord shall have the right,

in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease (but not the obligation), to unilaterally revoke Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, in which case this Lease shall expire on the Expiration Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and Tenant shall have no further rights under this Lease to renew or extend the Term.

EARLY TERMINATION OPTION

(1) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit J, and provided that Tenant has not exercised the Right of First Offer set forth in Exhibit K of this Lease at any time on or after April 30, 2018, Tenant shall have the one-time right (the “Early Termination Option”) to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit J. The “Termination Date” shall mean April 30, 2020. Tenant shall have the right to cause the Early Termination Option to apply to only a portion of the Premises, in accordance with the terms set forth below. In the event that Tenant does exercise its rights under Exhibit K of this Lease to lease any First Offer Space at any time on or after April 30, 2018, then this Exhibit J shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(2) Exercise of Termination Option. Tenant may exercise the Early Termination Option only by (i) delivering to Landlord an irrevocable notice of such exercise (the “Termination Notice”) no later than April 30, 2019, and (ii) paying to Landlord the Termination Payment (as that term is defined below). For purposes hereof, the “Termination Payment” shall be an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (including, without limitation, any Additional Improvement Allowance), (B) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of the Abated Rent provided to Tenant as set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto, (C) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of the leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, (D) interest on the amounts in items (A), (B) and (C) above, computed based on an eight percent (8%) annual interest rate, and (E) an amount equal to two (2) months of the Basic Rent that would have otherwise been applicable to the Premises immediately following the Termination Date.

In addition, in the event that Tenant has exercised the Right of First Offer prior to April 30, 2018, then with respect to the First Offer Space leased pursuant to any such exercise, the Termination Payment shall also include an amount equal to the sum of (I) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of any improvement allowance provided by Landlord to Tenant in connection with the First Offer Space, (II) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of any abated rent (if any) provided to Tenant in connection with the First Offer Space, (III) the unamortized amount as of the Termination Date of the leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the First Offer Space, (IV) interest on the amounts in items (I), (II) and (III) above, computed based on an eight percent (8%) annual interest rate, and (V) an amount equal to two (2) months of the Basic Rent that would have otherwise been applicable to the First Offer Space immediately following the Termination Date.

The Termination Payment shall be payable to Landlord no later than twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice. The amounts in (A), (B) and (C), above, with respect to the Initial Premises, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period commencing on the first day of the seventh (7^th) full calendar month of the initial Term and ending on the last day of the initial Term, and the amounts in (A), (B) and (C), above, with respect to the Must-Take Premises, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period

commencing on the first day of the sixth (6^th) full calendar month following the Must-Take Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the initial Term. The amounts in (I), (II) and (III), above, with respect to any First Offer Space, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period commencing on the first day of the Term of the First Offer Space and ending on the last day of the initial Term.

(3) Effectiveness of Termination. If Tenant timely exercises the Termination Option and timely pays the Termination Payment, then effective as of the Termination Date, the Lease with respect to the entire Premises shall end and expire, and Tenant’s estate in and possession of the entire Premises shall terminate and be wholly extinguished with the same force and effect as if such date were initially set forth in the Lease as the Expiration Date. On the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and deliver vacant possession of the entire Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease as if such date were the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to surrender, vacate and deliver to Landlord possession of the entire Premises in such condition on the Termination Date, then Tenant shall be deemed to be a holdover in the entire Premises and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and remedies at law and in equity (including, without limitation, its rights and remedies under Section 22 of this Lease). In the event that Tenant exercises such Termination Option, then effective as of the date of Tenant’s Termination Notice, Tenant’s rights under Exhibit K (Right of First Offer) shall automatically terminate, and Exhibit K of this Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(4) Rights Personal to Tenant. The Early Termination Option is personal to, may be exercised only by, the Original Tenant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer under the terms of Section 10(h) of this Lease, shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily to, or exercised by, any person other than the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee. If the Original Tenant shall transfer this Lease (or any interest therein), or any portion of the Premises (other than a transfer of its entire interest in this Lease or the Premises to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer), then simultaneously with such transfer Tenant’s Extension Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. No transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (or any interest therein) or any portion of the Premises (other than a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer) shall have any right to terminate the Term pursuant to this Exhibit J.

EXHIBIT K

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

(1) Right of First Offer. So long as there is at least two (2) years remaining on the Term, as may be extended by Tenant (the “First Offer Period”), Tenant shall have an on-going right of first offer (“Right of First Offer”) to lease any space located on the first (1^st) floor of the Building shown on the demising plans in Schedule 1 attached hereto (each such space a “First Offer Space”), in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit K in the event that the First Offer Space becomes “available for lease to third parties” (as defined below) and Landlord receives a request for proposal, a letter of intent, or a similar offer for the leasing of such space from a qualified third party (a “Third Party Offer”). For purposes hereof, a First Offer Space shall become “available for lease to third parties” if (a) Landlord is free to lease the space to the general public unencumbered by any renewal rights, extension rights, expansion rights, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or other similar rights in favor of other tenants in the Project, whether or not the renewal or extension of the existing tenant’s lease is pursuant to an express written provision in such tenant’s lease, and without regard to whether such renewal or extension is characterized by the parties thereto as a “renewal”, “extension” or “new lease”; and (b) Landlord intends to market the space to the general public (i.e., the space will not be occupied by Landlord, any of its Affiliates or successors, or by an existing tenant of the space (all of the foregoing described in clauses (a) and

(b)	being herein collectively referred to as “Superior Rights”).

(2) First Offer Notice. Landlord shall give Tenant notice (a “First Offer Notice”) at such time as (i) First Offer Space will or has become available to third parties (as such availability is determined by Landlord), and/or (ii) Landlord receives a Third Party Offer for such First Offer Space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the applicable First Offer Space. A First Offer Notice may be conditioned on the failure of a holder of Superior Rights to lease all or any portion of the First Offer Space identified in such First Offer Notice. The First Offer Notice shall set forth the material economic terms upon which Landlord would be prepared to lease such First Offer Space to Tenant for the remainder of the Term (the “Economic Terms”), including, without limitation (a) the anticipated date upon which possession of such First Offer Space will be available (the “Anticipated Delivery Date”), (b) the tenant improvements, if any, Landlord proposes to install, and/or tenant improvements allowance Landlord proposes to pay, if any, for such First Offer Space, if any, (c) a good faith proposal of the First Offer Rent (as defined below) for such First Offer Space, and (d) any other material economic conditions or provisions relating to the leasing of such First Offer Space that vary from the provisions of this Lease. The term of the lease for the First Offer Space shall terminate concurrently with the Term of this Lease.

(3) First Offer Rent. The Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent”) during the First Offer Term (as defined below) shall be the Market Rate (as defined below) for the First Offer Space, valued as of the commencement of the First Offer Term, determined in the manner hereinafter provided. As used in this Exhibit K, the term “Market Rate” shall mean the annual amount of Basic Rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the First Offer Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space under then-prevailing ordinary rental market practices (e.g., not pursuant to extraordinary

EXHIBIT K

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

rental, promotional deals or other concessions to tenants that deviate from what is the then-prevailing ordinary practice), at arm’s length, that is comparable to the First Offer Space within the Building or in Comparison Buildings, based upon binding lease transactions for tenants in the Comparison Buildings that, where possible, commence or are to commence within six (6) months prior to or within six (6) months after the commencement of the First Offer Term (as used in this Exhibit K, the “Comparison Leases”). Rental rates payable under Comparison Leases shall be adjusted to account for variations between this Lease and the Comparison Leases with respect to: (a) the length of the First Offer Term compared to the renewal or extension term of the Comparison Leases; (b) rental structure, including, rental rates per rentable square foot (including type, gross or net, and if gross, adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, annual rent adjustments, escalation provisions, all other payments and escalations; (c) the size of the First Offer Space compared to the size of the premises of the Comparison Leases; (d) free rent, moving expenses and other cash payments, allowances or other monetary concessions affecting the rental rate; (e) the age and quality of construction of the buildings; and (f) leasehold improvements and/or allowances, taking into account the value of existing leasehold improvements to the existing tenant.

(4) Procedure for Acceptance. On or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a First Offer Notice (the “Election Date”), Tenant may, at its option, deliver an irrevocable, unqualified, unconditional notice to Landlord electing to lease the First Offer Space identified in such First Offer Notice upon the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice (“Tenant’s Election Notice”), which Tenant’s Election Notice shall affirmatively state that Tenant is either (A) accepting Landlord’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice) as the First Offer Rent, or (B) rejecting Landlord’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice) as the First Offer Rent, and if Tenant rejects Landlord’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice), then the parties shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 9 below, and the Market Rate shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 9 below. Tenant may exercise its Right of First Offer only with respect to all of the First Offer Space identified in such First Offer Notice and only upon the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice. If Tenant does not deliver Tenant’s Election Notice to Landlord on or before the Election Date, then Tenant shall have no further rights hereunder to lease the First Offer Space identified in a First Offer Notice. Time is of the essence of this provision and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will have no obligation to lease to Tenant any First Offer Space identified in a First Offer Notice if Tenant does not deliver Tenant’s Election Notice to Landlord on or before the Election Date. Any qualified or conditional acceptance by Tenant of a First Offer Notice shall be deemed to be a counter-offer to, and a rejection of, such First Offer Notice. If Tenant’s Election Notice is not a written, unqualified, unconditional, irrevocable acceptance of the First Offer Notice, or is not delivered on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Election Date, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected the First Offer Notice. If Tenant rejects or is deemed to have rejected a First Offer Notice for any reason, the Right of First Offer shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the First Offer Space identified therein and Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease all or any portion of such First Offer Space to any person on any terms and conditions Landlord desires (including terms and conditions more favorable than the terms and conditions set forth in such First Offer Notice); provided, however, in the event that Landlord fails to enter into a lease with a third-party for all or any portion of such First Offer Space within six (6) months following the date on which Tenant rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) a First

EXHIBIT K

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

Offer Notice, then Tenant’s Right of First Offer with respect to such First Offer Space shall automatically renew and Landlord shall again be obligated to provide Tenant with a First Offer Notice for such First Offer Space in the event that such First Offer Space becomes available for lease to third parties and Landlord has received a Third Party Offer for such First Offer Space.

(5) Amendment to Lease. If Tenant delivers a Tenant’s Election Notice prior to the Election Date, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease to add the First Offer Space upon the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice, and to modify the applicable provisions of this Lease to reflect the changes in the Rent, area of the Premises, Tenant’s Proportionate Share and other appropriate terms.

(6) Additional Conditions of Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision of this Exhibit K to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred either at the time a First Offer Notice would otherwise be required to be sent under this Exhibit K, or any other time following Tenant’s exercise of its right to lease First Offer Space and prior to the date upon which possession of such First Offer Space is to be delivered to Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit K, and in such event Landlord shall not be required to deliver the First Offer Notice or to deliver possession of such First Offer Space to Tenant. If not earlier terminated, the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit K shall automatically terminate on the Expiration Date. Nothing contained in this Exhibit K shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord to refrain from negotiating with the existing tenant of the First Offer Space, to withhold the First Offer Space from the market, or to take any other action or omit to take any other action in order to make the First Offer Space available to Tenant.

(7) Additional Security. In the event that Tenant elects to exercise its Right of First Offer, Landlord shall have the right to review Tenant’s audited financial statements (as provided in Section 26(q) of this Lease), and thereafter, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide Landlord with additional financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s rent obligations with respect to the First Offer Space. Such determination to be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in comparable transactions in the Comparison Building upon tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant, with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants. In the event that Landlord requires such additional financial security, then Tenant shall deliver such additional financial security to Landlord on or before the date on which Landlord delivers the First Offer Space to Tenant.

(8) Rights Personal to Tenant. The Right of First Offer is personal to, may be exercised only by, the Original Tenant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer under the terms of Section 10(h) of this Lease, shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily to, or exercised by, any person other than the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee, and shall only be exercisable if the Original Tenant or such Permitted Transferee occupies not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises at the time of such exercise and at the time the First Offer Space identified therein is to be added to the Premises as provided in this Exhibit K. If the Original Tenant shall transfer this Lease (or any interest therein), or any

EXHIBIT K

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

portion of the Premises (other than a transfer of its entire interest in this Lease or the Premises to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer), then simultaneously with such transfer Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. No transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (or any interest therein) or any portion of the Premises (other than a Permitted Transferee to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or the Premises has been transferred in a Permitted Transfer) shall have any right to lease First Offer Space pursuant to this Exhibit K.

(9) Determination of First Offer Rent. In the event that Tenant exercises the Right of First Offer, but the Tenant’s Election Notice contains Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice), then the Market Rate for purposes of this Exhibit K shall be determined as follows:

(a) Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rate using reasonable good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s objection to Landlord’s Market Rate determination (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Market Rate for the First Offer Space within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 9(b) through 9(h) below.

(b) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker, appraiser or attorney who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of the Comparison Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate, is the closest to the actual Market Rate for the First Offer Space as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section (3), above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed the “Advocate Arbitrators”.

(c) The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that neither the Landlord or Tenant or either party’s Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior to subsequent to his or her appearance. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel.

(d) The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator reach a decision as to Market Rate and determine whether the Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of Market Rate as submitted pursuant Section 9(a), above, is closest to Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators and simultaneously publish a ruling (“Award”) indicating whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate is closest to the Market Rate as

EXHIBIT K

Second & Spring

Avalara, Inc.

determined by the arbitrators. Following notification of the Award, the Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate determination, whichever is selected by the arbitrators as being closest to Market rent shall become the then applicable Market Rate.

(e) The Award issued by the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(f) If either Landlord or Tenant fail to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section (9)(b), above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator.

(g) If the two Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section (9)(b) above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator.

(vii) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

Re:	Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No. SVBSF

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned (“Beneficiary”) is the beneficiary under Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No. SVBSF issued by Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) upon the request of (together with all amendments issued to such letter of credit, the “Standby L/C”). Beneficiary cannot locate the executed original of the Standby L/C (the “Original Standby L/C”) and has requested that Bank issue a certified true copy of the Standby L/C (“Certified True Copy”) to replace the Original Standby L/C.

In consideration of Bank’s willingness to issue the Certified True Copy, Beneficiary agrees as follows:

2.	Beneficiary represents and warrants that it has not encumbered, assigned, or otherwise transferred its interest in the Standby L/C or delivered the Original Standby L/C to any other person or entity.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO LEASE

THIS RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO LEASE (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 14, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between W2007 SEATTLE OFFICE 0000 XXXXX XXXXXX REALTY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), and AVALARA, INC., a Washington corporation (“Avalara”).

A. Owner is the owner of that certain office building commonly known as 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx (the “1111 3^rd Building”) and located at 0000 0^xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. The 1111 3^rd Building and the land upon which such office building is located are referred to herein as the “Property”. The Property is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

B. An affiliate of owner, W2007 Seattle Office Second and Spring Building Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner Affiliate”), and Avalara have entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated concurrently herewith (the “Second & Spring Lease”) with respect to Owner Affiliate’s leasing to Avalara, and Avalara’s leasing from Owner Affiliate, of a total of approximately 36,420 rentable square feet of space (the “Second & Spring Premises”), located in the office building commonly known as “Second & Spring” (together with the land, which is improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements upon which such office building is located, the “Second & Spring Property”), and whose street address is 0000 0^xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, which Second & Spring Premises is more particularly described in the Second & Spring Lease.

C. In connection with Avalara’s lease of the Second & Spring Premises pursuant to the Second & Spring Lease, Owner desires to grant Avalara a right of first offer to lease certain space in the 1111 3^rd Building on, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Owner and Avalara hereby agree as follows:

1. Right of First Offer.

1.1 First Offer Space. So long as there are at least two (2) years remaining in the Term under the Second & Spring Lease, Owner hereby grants to Avalara an on-going right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to available space located on the sixth (6^th) and seventh (7^th) floors of the 1111 3^rd Building. Such right of first offer shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement in the event that the First Offer Space becomes “available for lease to third parties” (as defined below) and Owner receives a request for proposal, a letter of intent, or a similar offer for the leasing of such space from a qualified third party (a “Third Party Offer”). For purposes hereof, a First Offer Space shall become “available for lease to third parties” if (a) Owner is free to lease the space to the general public unencumbered by any renewal rights, extension rights, expansion rights, rights of first offer (granted prior to the date hereof), rights of first refusal (granted prior to the date hereof) or other similar rights (granted prior to the date hereof) in favor of other tenants in the Project, whether or not the renewal or extension of the existing tenant’s lease is pursuant to an express written provision in such tenant’s lease, and without regard to whether


		1

such renewal or extension is characterized by the parties thereto as a “renewal”, “extension” or “new lease”; and (b) Owner intends to market the space to the general public (i.e., the space will not be occupied by Owner, any of its affiliates or successors, or by an existing tenant of the space) (all of the foregoing described in clauses (a) and (b) being herein collectively referred to as “Superior Rights”).

1.2 First Offer Notice. Owner shall give Avalara notice (a “First Offer Notice”) at such time as a First Offer Space will or has become available to third parties (as such availability is determined by Owner) pursuant to the terms of Avalara’s Right of First Offer, as set forth in this Agreement. A First Offer Notice may be conditioned on the failure of a holder of Superior Rights to lease all or any portion of the First Offer Space identified in such First Offer Notice. The First Offer Notice shall set forth the material economic terms upon which Owner would be prepared to lease such First Offer Space to Avalara for the remainder of the Term (the “Economic Terms”), including, without limitation (a) the anticipated date upon which possession of such First Offer Space will be available (the “Anticipated Delivery Date”), (b) the tenant improvements, if any, Owner proposes to install, and/or tenant improvements allowance Owner proposes to pay, if any, for such First Offer Space, if any, (c) a good faith proposal of the First Offer Rent (as defined below) for such First Offer Space, and (d) any other material economic conditions or provisions relating to the leasing of such First Offer Space that vary from the provisions of this Agreement. The term of the lease for the First Offer Space shall terminate on the date provided for such termination in the First Offer Notice.

1.3 First Offer Rent. The basic rent (“Basic Rent”) payable by Avalara for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent”) during the First Offer Term (as defined below) shall be the Market Rate (as defined below) for the First Offer Space, valued as of the commencement of the First Offer Term, determined in the manner hereinafter provided. As used in this Agreement, the term “Market Rate” shall mean the annual amount of basic rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the First Offer Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space under then-prevailing ordinary rental market practices (e.g., not pursuant to extraordinary rental, promotional deals or other concessions to tenants that deviate from what is the then-prevailing ordinary practice), at arm’s length, that is comparable to the First Offer Space within the Building or in other, first class office buildings in the Seattle, Washington central business district area (“Comparison Buildings”), based upon binding lease transactions for tenants in the Comparison Buildings that, where possible, commence or are to commence within six (6) months prior to or within six (6) months after the commencement of the First Offer Term (as used in this Agreement, the “Comparison Leases”). Rental rates payable under Comparison Leases shall be adjusted to account for variations between this Agreement and the Comparison Leases with respect to: (a) the length of the First Offer Term compared to the term of the Comparison Leases; (b) rental structure, including, rental rates per rentable square foot (including type, gross or net, and if gross, adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, annual rent adjustments, escalation provisions, all other payments and escalations; (c) the size of the First Offer Space compared to the size of the premises of the Comparison Leases; (d) free rent, moving expenses and other cash payments, allowances or other monetary concessions affecting the rental rate; (e) the age and quality of construction of the buildings; and (f) leasehold improvements and/or allowances, taking into account the value of existing leasehold improvements to the existing tenant.


		2

1.4 Procedure for Acceptance. On or before the date that is five (5) business days after Avalara’s receipt of a First Offer Notice (the “Election Date”), Avalara may, at its option, deliver an irrevocable, unqualified, unconditional notice to Owner electing to lease the First Offer Space identified in such First Offer Notice upon the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice (“Avalara’s Election Notice”), and Avalara’s Election Notice shall affirmatively state that Avalara is either (A) accepting Owner’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice) as the First Offer Rent, or (B) rejecting Owner’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice) as the First Offer Rent, and if Avalara rejects Owner’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice), then the parties shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 1.10 below, and the Market Rate shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.10 below. Avalara may exercise its Right of First Offer only with respect to all of the First Offer Space identified in the First Offer Notice and only upon the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice. If Avalara does not deliver Avalara’s Election Notice to Owner on or before the Election Date, then Avalara shall have no further rights hereunder to lease the First Offer Space identified in the First Offer Notice. Time is of the essence of this provision and Avalara acknowledges and agrees that Owner will have no obligation to lease to Avalara any First Offer Space identified in a First Offer Notice if Avalara does not deliver Avalara’s Election Notice to Owner on or before the Election Date. Any qualified or conditional acceptance by Avalara of a First Offer Notice shall be deemed to be a counter-offer to, and a rejection of, such First Offer Notice. If Avalara’s Election Notice is not a written, unqualified, unconditional, irrevocable acceptance of the First Offer Notice, or is not delivered on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Election Date, then Avalara shall be deemed to have rejected the First Offer Notice. If Avalara rejects or is deemed to have rejected a First Offer Notice for any reason, the Right of First Offer shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the First Offer Space identified therein and Owner shall thereafter have the right to lease all or any portion of such First Offer Space to any person on any terms and conditions Owner desires (including terms and conditions more favorable than the terms and conditions set forth in such First Offer Notice); provided, however, in the event that Owner fails to enter into a lease with a third-party for all or any portion of such First Offer Space within six (6) months following the date on which Avalara rejects (or is deemed to have rejected) a First Offer Notice, then Avalara’s Right of First Offer with respect to such First Offer Space shall automatically renew and Owner shall again be obligated to provide Avalara with a First Offer Notice in the event that such First Offer Space becomes available for lease to third parties and Owner has received a Third Party Offer for such First Offer Space.

1.5 New Lease. If Avalara timely exercises Avalara’s right of first offer to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Owner and Avalara shall within thirty (30) days thereafter execute a new lease (the “First Offer Space Lease”) for such First Offer Space, which First Offer Space Lease shall be in substantially the same form as the Second & Spring Lease (with appropriate modifications thereto as reasonably determined by Owner to reflect the particulars of the First Offer Space and the 1111 3^rd Building, as compared to the Second & Spring Premises and the Second & Spring Property, and the Right of First Offer and the Early Termination Option, as defined in the Second & Spring Lease, shall not be included in the First Offer Space Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an otherwise valid exercise of Avalara’s Right of First Offer shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether the First Offer Space Lease is timely signed by Owner and Avalara. Avalara’s lease of such First Offer Space shall be upon the express terms set forth in the First Offer Notice, but otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth in the First Offer Space Lease, and this Agreement. Avalara shall commence payment of rent for such First Offer Space, and the term of such First Offer Space (the “First Offer Term”) shall commence, upon the date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Avalara (the “First Offer Commencement Date”) and terminate on the date provided for such termination in the First Offer Notice.


		3

1.6 Additional Conditions of Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Second & Spring Lease) under the terms of the Second & Spring Lease has occurred either at the time a First Offer Notice would otherwise be required to be sent under this Agreement, or any other time following Avalara’s exercise of its right to lease First Offer Space and prior to the date upon which possession of such First Offer Space is to be delivered to Avalara, and such Event of Default has not been cured by Avalara within the applicable notice and cure period, Owner shall have, in addition to all of Owner’s other rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the right to terminate Avalara’s rights under this Agreement, and in such event Owner shall not be required to deliver the First Offer Notice or to deliver possession of such First Offer Space to Avalara. If not earlier terminated, the rights of Avalara pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that is two (2) years prior to the “Expiration Date” of the Second & Spring Lease. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Owner to refrain from negotiating with any existing tenant of the First Offer Space, to withhold the First Offer Space from the market, or to take any other action or omit to take any other action in order to make the First Offer Space available to Avalara.

1.7 Lease Security. In the event that Avalara elects to exercise its Right of First Offer, Owner shall have the right to review Avalara’s audited financial statements (as provided in Section 26(q) of the Second & Spring Lease), and thereafter, Owner shall have the right to require that Avalara provide Owner with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Avalara’s rent obligations with respect to the First Offer Space. Such determination to be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in comparable transactions in the Comparison Building upon tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Avalara, with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Avalara and such other tenants. In the event that Owner requires such financial security, then Avalara shall deliver such additional financial security to Owner concurrently with Avalara’s execution of the First Offer Space Lease.

1.8 Rights Personal to Avalara. The Right of First Offer (i) is personal to, and may only be exercised by, Avalara or by a “Permitted Transferee” (as that term is defined in the Second & Spring Lease) to whom Avalara’s entire interest in the Second & Spring Lease has been transferred in a “Permitted Transfer” under the terms of Section 10(h) of the Second & Spring Lease, (ii) is not assignable separate and apart from an assignment of Avalara’s (or a Permitted Transferee’s) entire interest in the Second & Spring Lease in a Permitted Transfer, (iii) shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily to, or exercised by, any person other than Avalara or such Permitted Transferee, and (iv) shall only be exercisable if Avalara or such Permitted Transferee occupies one hundred percent (100%) of the Second & Spring Premises at the time of such exercise.


		4

1.9 Termination of Right of First Offer. The Right of First Offer shall only apply to the extent the Property continues to be owned by W2007 Seattle Office 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Realty, LLC (or by an affiliate of W2007 Seattle Office 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Realty, LLC or by an affiliate of the landlord under the Second & Spring Lease), and in the event that the Property is no longer owned by W2007 Seattle Office 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Realty, LLC (or by an affiliate of W2007 Seattle Office 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Realty, LLC or by an affiliate of the landlord under the Second & Spring Lease) (including, without limitation, in connection with a foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof or similar proceeding, by any Owner’s lender or other mortgagee, or any nominee or designee of Owner’s lender or other mortgagee or their respective successors and assigns), then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. In addition, in the event that (i) the Second & Spring Lease shall terminate for any reason, or (ii) Avalara delivers to Owner’s Affiliate a “Termination Notice” in connection with the “Early Termination Option” (as both of those terms are defined in the Second & Spring Lease), then this Agreement shall automatically terminate concurrently therewith. As used in this Section 1.9, “affiliate” means an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with the entity in question.

1.10 Determination of First Offer Rent. In the event that Avalara exercises the Right of First Offer, but Avalara’s Election Notice contains Avalara’s rejection of Owner’s Market Rate determination (as set forth in the First Offer Notice), then the Market Rate for purposes of this Agreement shall be determined as follows:

1.10.1 Owner and Avalara shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rate using reasonable good-faith efforts. If Owner and Avalara fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Avalara’s objection to Owner’s Market Rate determination (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Market Rate for the First Offer Space within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 1.10.2 through 1.10.8 below.

1.10.2 Owner and Avalara shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker, appraiser or attorney who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing (or appraisal, as the case may be) of space in the Comparison Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Owner’s or Avalara’s submitted Market Rate is the closest to the actual Market Rate for the First Offer Space as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 1.3, above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Owner and Avalara may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Owner and Avalara shall be deemed the “Advocate Arbitrators”.

1.10.3 The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that neither the Owner or Avalara or either party’s Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior to subsequent to his or her appearance. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Owner’s counsel and Avalara’s counsel.


		5

1.10.4 The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator reach a decision as to Market Rate and determine whether the Owner’s or Avalara’s determination of Market Rate as submitted pursuant Section 1.10.1, above, is closest to Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators and simultaneously publish a ruling (“Award”) indicating whether Owner’s or Avalara’s submitted Market Rate is closest to the Market Rate as determined by the arbitrators. Following notification of the Award, the Owner’s or Avalara’s submitted Market Rate determination, whichever is selected by the arbitrators as being closest to Market Rate, shall become the then applicable Market Rate.

1.10.5 The Award issued by the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Owner and Avalara.

1.10.6 If either Owner or Avalara fail to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section 1.10.2, above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator.

1.10.7 If the two Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of King County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section 1.10.2 above, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator.

1.10.8 The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Owner and Avalara equally.

In the event that the Market Rate has not been determined as of the First Offer Commencement Date, Avalara shall pay monthly Basic Rent for the First Offer Space at the rate set forth in the First Offer Notice until such time as the Market Rate has been determined pursuant to this Section 1.10. Upon such determination, the Basic Rent for the First Offer Space shall be retroactively adjusted to the First Offer Commencement Date. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Basic Rent by Avalara, Avalara shall pay Owner the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Basic Rent by Avalara, Owner shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Basic Rent due under the First Offer Space Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Basic Rent otherwise attributable to the First Offer Space.

2. Independent Consideration. Avalara shall deliver independent consideration to Owner in the form of a check from Avalara in the amount of Ten and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($10.00) (the “Independent Consideration”). Owner and Avalara hereby mutually acknowledge and agree that said sum represents adequate bargained for consideration for Owner’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Avalara’s Right of First Offer as provided herein. Said sum is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Agreement, and is nonrefundable to Avalara in all events. The obligation of Avalara to pay the Independent Consideration to Owner is unconditional and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.


		6

3. Defaults. Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default by the applicable party and shall permit the non-defaulting party, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement:

3.1 The failure by any party hereto to perform any of the terms, agreements or conditions set forth in this Agreement, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days, after receipt of written notice of such failure from the other party; or

3.2 A party files for bankruptcy or has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or a request for the appointment of a receiver filed against it, where such involuntary petition or request is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing.

4. Miscellaneous.

4.1 Brokerage. Neither Owner nor Avalara has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Agreement, other than Colliers International (representing Avalara) and Urbis Partners, LLC (representing Owner), whose commissions (if any) shall be paid by Owner pursuant to separate written agreements. Each party acknowledges receipt of a copy of the pamphlet described in RCW 18.86.030(f) entitled “The Law of Real Estate Agency,” as required by Washington Law. Avalara and Owner shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liens and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party.

4.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or altered except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties.

4.5 Entire Agreement.

4.8 Recording. Avalara shall not record this Agreement or any memorandum of this Agreement without the prior consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld or denied in the sole and absolute discretion of Owner, and any recordation by Avalara shall be a material breach of this Agreement that cannot be cured. Avalara grants to Owner a power of attorney to execute and record a release releasing any such recorded instrument of record that was recorded without the prior consent of Owner.

4.9 Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are to remain confidential and may not be disclosed to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without the other’s prior consent; however, each party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement if required by Law or court order, and to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners and to existing or prospective lenders and prospective purchasers of all or any portion of the Property provided same are advised of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure).
