insurance required under this Lease. LESSEE further agrees to cause such
repair, reconstruction or replacement or affected property with due diligence.
19. DEFAULT, TERMINATION & FORFEITURE
A. The failure by LESSEE to pay rent in the amounts and at the times specified
herein, or the failure by LESSEE to otherwise comply with any term, provision or
condition of this Lease, shall constitute grounds for termination of this Lease and
forfeiture of all rent paid by LESSEE to the time of termination. This Lease and
tenancy shall terminate and rent paid shall be forfeited for cause as specified
above on written notice by LESSOR to LESSEE stating the amount of rent in
default or otherwise stating accurately the manner in which LESSEE fails or has
failed to comply with this Lease. LESSEE shall make full payment or otherwise
comply with this Lease in the manner specified in the notice within thirty (30)
days (except three (3) days for payment of rent) from LESSEE's receipt of such
notice, otherwise this Lease and tenancy shall be terminated and rent forfeited.

or mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested addressed to LESSEE at
its address stated below LESSEE's signature to this Lease or such other address
as the parties may advise each other in writing. It is further agreed that after

Lease. Notices shall be deemed received three (3) days after mailing to
LESSEE at the address below LESSEE's signature to this Lease or such other
address as the parties may advise each other in writing,
B. As additional and not alternative remedy, optional with LESSOR and upon
thirty (30) days written notice to LESSEE, should LESSEE be in default
hereunder other than default in the payment of rent, LESSOR may cure or
correct the same and the cost of such action by LESSOR shall immediately
become due and payable from LESSEE, together with late fees on said sum at a
rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, and the non-payment of said sum by
LESSEE shall be adequate grounds for LESSOR to invoke the other remedies as
provided in this Lease.
C. Upon termination of this Lease for any reason, LESSEE shall immediately
surrender the premises to the LESSOR in good condition and repair, ordinary
wear and usage excepted; and LESSEE shall remove all of LESSEE'S personal
property, trade fixtures, equipment or improvements removable by prior
agreement with LESSOR from the premises and shall repair any damage to the
premises caused by such removal. Any personal property of LESSEE, or
anyone claiming under LESSEE, which shall remain upon the premises at the
expiration or termination of this Lease shall be deemed to have been abandoned
and may be retained by LESSOR as LESSOR'S property or disposed of by
LESSOR in such manner as LESSOR sees fit without compensation to any party
and any expense of said disposal will be paid by LESSEE.

in the event LESSEE makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a
receiver otherwise is appointed for LESSEE, or in the event LESSEE's leasehold
estate is subjected to execution to satisfy any judgement against LESSEE, then
in that event LESSOR may immediately or at any time thereafter without notice
or demand enter into and upon the premises or any part thereof and repossess
the same and expel LESSEE or any person upon the premises and remove their
effects, and thereupon this Lease and the tenancy hereby created shall
absolutely terminate, without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be

PARTIES: Congdon Development Company, LLC, a Washington
limited liability company, hereinafter "Lessor,"
Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field, an agency of the
City of Yakima and Yakima County, Washington,
hereinafter "Lessee when referencing the entity, and the
"Ai:tperV'when referencing its public function.
RECITALS, Lessor owns certain vacant real property in close
proximity to Lessee, being Yakima County Assessor's
Paxcels 181334-44001, 181334-42002, and 181336-33001,
comprising approximately 100.38 acres (the "Property").
The legal description for the Property is set forth on the
attached Exhibit "N'. For several years Lessor and
Lessee have been working in good faith towards a means
by which Lessee could acquire the Property for utilization
in conjunction with future development of the Airport,
together with protection of land users and occupants from
the inherent hazards of aviation. In order to provide
Lessee the opportunity to obtain Federal Aviation
Administration ('FAA!) approval and funding for this
acquisition, the parties have agreed to enter into a
landlord/tenant relationship with regard to the Property,
granting Lessee the option of purchasing the Property
during the lease term if, and when, FAA approval and
funding is forthcoming, all in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth hereinbelow.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Description of Leased Property: The real estate situate in the
County of Yakima, State of Washington, consisting of approximately 100,38 acres,
more or less, and more particularly described on the attached Exhibit "A" attached
hereto, shall be referred to herein as the "Property."
2. Term of Lease: TMs Lease shall commence on May 1, 2007, and,
shall terminate at midnight on May 31, 2010, provided, however, that the Lease
shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms, subject to the parties'
rights to terminate as set forth in Paragraph 11, below.
3. Rent: Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as rent for the Property the sum of
$5,000.00 per year payable on, or before, June 1 of each year during the lease,
beginning June 1, 2007, for the 2007-08 lease year, provided, however, that the
Lease price shall increase five percent (5%) per annum on each anniversary, May 1,
of the Lease, commencing May 1, 2008.
4. Taxes, Assessments and Utilities- Lessee agrees to pay all real
estate taxes and assessments levied against the Property, and Lessee agrees to pay
for all utilities, water, and other services used on or in connection with the said
Property, as well as all personal property taxes and other charges to Federal, State
or Municipal governments or agencies, incurred in connection therewith, all of the
same to be paid promptly when due.
5. Care and Maintenance of the Property: Lessee has inspected the
property and accepts it in its present condition. Lessee shall not commit or permit
waste, damage or injury to the Property. Lessee shall keep the grounds in good
order and not let or permit any rubbish to be deposited upon it. Lessee shall make
no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Property without Lessor's
prior written consent.
F. Indemnity, ProveLt-y—fLiability Insurance: Lessee agrees to and
shall defend, indemnify, and save Lessor harmless from any and all loss, liability
and expense of any kind which may be incurred by reason of any accident, damage,
or injury arising from or in any way growing out of the use, misuse, or neglect of the
subject Property; provided that such indemnity shall not apply to any act of Lessor
or negligence on the part of Lessor. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of
casualties or accidents occurring on the Property. Lessee shall carry general
liability insurance coverage with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence,
covering the Property, and including coverage for anyone injured on the Property.
All liability insurance policies shall name Lessor as an additional insured and the
property insurance shall name Lessor as the sole named insured and shall be with
companies and with loss-payee clauses reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Copies of
all policies or certificates evidencing such insurance shall be delivered to Lessor by
Lessee prior to Lessee's occupancy of the Property. All policies shall bear
endorsements requiring thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor prior to any change
or cancellation.
7. Hazardous Substances: Lessor hereby represents that to the best of
Lessor's actual knowledge, the Property is not now contaminated with any
hazardous substance and Lessor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessee
harmless from any and all loss, liability, damage, expense, injury and Claims of any
sort whatsoever, involving directly or indirectly the presence on, or under, or the
discharge or release from the Property of any hazardous substance occurring prior
to the commencement date of this Lease. Lessee agrees that it shall not dispose of
or otherwise allow the release of any hazardous substance in, on or under the
Property, except that Lessee may during the term of this Lease bring onto and use
on the Property those chemicals that are customarily used to control weeds and
noxious plants, provided that all such chemicals are used and disposed of in a
manner which fully complies with all applicable federal, state or local statutes,
regulations, rules or ordinances now or hereafter in effect, including, but not limited
to, Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act ("CERCLA") and the Washington Model Toxic Control Act, RCW Chapter
70.105D. Lessee acknowledges that it will be solely responsible for all costs and
expenses related to the clean-up of hazardous materials on the premises resulting
from Lessee's use or possession of the Property. The phrase "to the best of Lessor's
actual knowledge" shall mean the actual knowledge of Clifford Adams.
8. Encumbrances - Liens: Lessor shall timely discharge any
mortgages, encumbrances or other liabilities created by Lessor affecting the
Property. Lessee shall not suffer or create any hens of any kind against the
Property,
9. Assignment - Subletting, Lessee shall not assign or otherwise
transfer any interest in this Lease or any part of the Property, without first
obtaining Lessor's written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. No transfer shall relieve Lessee of any liability under this Lease
notwithstanding Lessor's consent to such transfer. Consent to any transfer shall
not operate as a waiver of the necessity for Lessor's consent to any subsequent
transfer. In the event such approval is sought, Lessor also hereby notifies Lessee
that the reason the below market rental rate of $5,000 per year, for over 100 acres,
has been chosen is in the interest of allowing Lessee to pursue necessary approvals
and funding sources during the lease term in order to purchase the Property, not to
create an additional profit source for Lessee through assignment or subletting,
Therefore, Lessor shall require, as a condition to assignment or subletting that
rents in excess of $5,000 per year for any such assignment or subletting be assigned
to Lessor.
10. ti on to Purchase: Provided that Lessee is not in default
hereunder, during the Lease term Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the right and
option to purchase the subject Property, under the following terms and conditions:
10.1 The Purchase Price shall be Two Mllion Seven Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($2,750,000.00), payable all cash at closing, subject to
adjustments as follows, and provided, that Lessor will agree to consider, in good
faith, reasonable terms for an installment purchase offered by Lessee, at an interest
rate mutually agreeable, over a term not to exceed five years.
10. 1. 1 The purchase price shall be increased three percent (3%)
on each anniversary, May 1, of the Lease, commencing May 1, 2008.
10.1.2 The purchase price shall be increased by the "value.
added" for the extension of any sewer, water, or other utilities to the Property or for
any improvements made to the Property, not made by Lessee, between the effective
date of this agreement and the closing date. If the parties are unable to agree upon
the "value-added" for any such utilities or improvements, the increase in the
purchase price shall be determined by appraisal. Lessee shall first submit its figure
for value-added to Lessor from its appraiser, and if Lessor disagrees it shall obtain
its own appraisal, the two appraisers chosen by the parties shall select a third
appraiser who shall also calculate the valve-added, and the party coming closest to
the third appraiser shall prevail with respect to its determination of value-added,
and the non-prevailing party shall also be responsible for payment of the third
appraisers fee. In the event Lessee gives notice of its intent to purchase hereunder
it shall, at the same time, deliver its appraisers calculation of the "value- added ",
and Lessor shall notify Lessee within fifteen (16) days whether it accepts Lessee's
figure.
10,2 As a condition for the exercise of Lessee's option to
purchase hereunder, Lessee shall diligently pursue all reasonably necessary
approvals and financing means to purchase the Property within the Lease term, or
any extension thereof, shall give the attainment of all such approvals its highest
priority in terms of land acquisitions, and shall submit semi- annual written
progress reports to Lessor, beginning June 1, 2007, with regard to steps taken, and
to be taken, to secure such approvals, and a timetable for their completion. In the
event Lessee should reasonably determine during the Lease term that it will be
unable to procure the necessary approvals and/or financing for acquisition of the
Property, it shall provide written notice thereof to Lessor, in which event either
party may treat such notice as grounds for immediate termination of the Lease
under Paragraph 11.
10.3 To exercise the purchase option, Lessee shall notify
Lessor in writing, within forty-five (45) days of the intended closing date,
whereupon Lessor shall immediately apply for a preliminary commitment for an
ALTA Standard Form Owners Policy with a mutually agreeable title company.
Said preliminary commitment and the title policy to be issued shall contain no
exception other than those provided for in said standard form and conveyance shall
be by Statutory Warranty Deed. Closing shall occur at the mutually agreed upon
title company, dosing costs to be apportioned between the parties as is the custom
in Yakima County, Washington, with Lessor paying for the standard policy of title
insurance, real estate excise tax due on the transaction, and any additional costs or
taxes that may be due should the property be removed from Open Space, or similar
classification.
10.4 Lessee's option to purchase shall not preclude Lessor from
negotiating purchase and sale of the subject Property with other parties. If Lessor
receives a written offer to purchase during the Lease term, or any extension thereof,
and before receipt of notice of Lessee's exercise of its option rights, which Lessor
wishes to accept, it shall give Lessee thirty (30) days written notice of Lessors intent
to accept, within which time Lessee may give notice of its exercise of its option to
purchase under the terms set forth hereinabove. If Lessee fails to give such notice,
or closing thereon does not occur within forty-five (45) days thereof, through no fault
of Lessor, then Lessor shall be permitted to complete closing on the third party
offer, provided such closing occurs within ninety (90) days of Lessors notification to
Lessee of its intent to accept such offer. Upon any such third party sale, this Lease
shall terminate, and Lessee and any persons deriving rights or interests in the
Property through Lessee shall be required to immediately vacate and surrender
possession of the Property to Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
subsection 10.4 shall not be exercisable by Lessor prior to October 1, 2008, in order
to provide Lessee with reasonable time to seek financing to purchase the Property.
M Default - Cancellation Righ . Lessor may cancel this lease for any
breach of the terms hereof by giving Lessee thirty (30) days within which to cure the
breach or default following written notice of the breach or default claimed by Lessor.
The parties may also cancel the lease by providing written notice to the other party
of intent to terminate the Lease at the end of the then current term, or extension
thereof, with such notice to be delivered not less than ninety (90) days prior to the
end of the then current term, provided, however, that should Lessee reasonably
determine during the Lease term that it will be unable to procure necessary
approvals and/or financing for acquisition of the Property, providing written notice
thereof to Lessor, pursuant to Subparagraph 10.2 above, then either party may
treat such notice as grounds fax immediate termination of the Lease. Upon
cancellation, Lessee and any persons deriving rights or interests in the Property
through Lessee shall immediately vacate and surrender possession of the Property
to Lessor.
12. Inspection: Lessor and its authorized representatives shall have the
right to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times for Purposes of inspection,
13, Notices: All notices required under this Lease to be given to either
party shall be effective if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
pre-paid, and properly addressed to the parties at the address shown below their
signature lines hereto or as the sa3,ne may be changed from time to time upon
written notice to the other party. Such notices shall be effective as of the date of
