Landlord and Tenant each certify to the other, that as of the date hereof, to the best of their actual knowledge, (i) no defenses or offsets exist to the enforcement of the Lease by either party, (ii) neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default in the performance of the Lease or any provisions contained therein, and (iii) neither Tenant nor Landlord has committed any breach of the Lease, nor has any default occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default or a breach by Tenant or Landlord under the Lease. Tenant’s actual knowledge, for the purposes of this Section 12.1, shall mean the actual knowledge, without any review of file materials or any other duty of inquiry, of James Mann, Facilities Manager. Landlord’s actual knowledge, for the purposes of this Section 12.1, shall mean the actual knowledge, without any review of file materials or any other duty of inquiry, of Barb Congleton at Wright Runstad & Company.

6.3    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Washington.
 
6.4    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
