4. RENT; IMPOSITIONS & LEASEHOLD EXCISE TAX
(a) Commencing on the earlier to occur of (i) issuance of a building permit for
Lessee's proposed Improvements, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days after mutual execution
hereof (provided that if Lessee fails to apply for a building permit within ninety (90) days
following mutual execution hereof, the foregoing 120-day period shall be reduced to ninety (90)
days) (hereafter the "Rent Commencement Date"), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in addition to
taxes, assessments, and other charges required to be paid herein by Lessee, Monthly Base Rent

Lessor: City of Auburn Page 4
Lessee: B C Quality Aircraft Maintenance, LLC June 26, 2001
Resolution No. 3366 - Exhibit A
deliver to Lessor the original executed Lease, cash in the amount equal to one (1) month's
Monthly Base Rent (which shall be applied toward the Monthly Base Rent due for the first
month for which Monthly Base Rent is payable hereunder), the cash Security Deposit, and all
insurance certificates evidencing the insurance required to be obtained by Lessee under this
Lease. The term "rent" whenever used herein refers to all amounts required to be paid by Lessee
hereunder. Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or expiration
or termination of the term shall be a prorated amount of the rent for a full calendar month based
upon a thirty (30) day month.
(b) Monthly Base Rent shall be subject to annual increases as provided in Section 5
below.
(c) Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay any and all
Impositions allocable to the Premises. The term "Impositions" shall mean all real estate taxes (to
the extent any portion of the Premises and any improvemerits thereon are subject to real estate
taxes), water and sewer charges, charges for public utilities, local improvement or general or
special benefit district assessments, license and permit fees or other charges which shall or may
during the Term be assessed, levied, charged, confirmed or imposed by any public authority
upon or accrue or become due or payable out of or on account of or become a lien on the
Premises or any part thereof, including without limitation all real property taxes allocable to the
Improvements, or for the use or occupancy of the Premises, and any tax on receipt of rents. The
term "Impositions" shall expressly include statutory leasehold excise tax imposed by Chapter
82.29A RCW on the taxable rent payable by Lessee hereunder, but shall exclude any income tax,
estate, succession, or inheritance taxes. Either Lessee or Lessor may contest the validity or
amount (including the assessed valuation upon the Premises and any exemptions applicable to
any portion thereo fl of any Imposition for which either is responsible in whole or in part, and
which such party in good faith believes is excessive, improper or invalid. In such event, the
payment thereof may be deferred during the pendency of such contest, if diligently prosecuted,
but in no event shall Lessee allow a lien for any unpaid taxes which it is contesting to attach to
the Premises. Each party agrees to join at the other's request in any such contest to the extent
such joinder is prerequisite to such prosecution under statute, regulation or administrative
practice. In connection with a judicial or administrative challenge to any assessment, Lessee
may take advantage of any stay in collection available under statute, regulation, or court or
administrative order or rules. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be so construed as to
allow such items to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit the Premises, or any
part thereof, to be sold by any governmental, city or municipal authority for the nonpayment of
the same. Within ten (10) days after the amount of such contested item is finally determined to
be due, the party liable for such Imposition shall pay the amounts so determined, together with
the penalties, interest and expenses associated with such contest.
(d) It is the intent of Lessee and Lessor that the rent due hereunder shall be absolutely
net to Lessor and that Lessee shall pay all costs expenses regarding the Premises whether
specifically mentioned herein or not.

Resolution No. 3366 - Exhibit A
5. ANNUAL PERIODIC RENT ADJUSTMENTS
(a) Monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted on January lst of every year beginning
January 1, 2002 during the lease term, per this Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted on each fifth (St") year, commencing on January l, 2007, to
equal the "fair market rental value" of the Premises, pursuant to the procedure set forth in
Section 5(d) below. No annual or fifth (51") year adjustment, however, shall reduce the amount
of Monthly Base Rent below the amount of the respective Monthly Base Rent that is being
adjusted.
(b) Definitions: The adjusted Monthly Base Rent shall be determined in accordance
with the formula set forth in Section 5(c) below. In applying the formula, the following
definitions apply:
(1) "Bureau" means the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
or any successor agency.
(2) "Price Index" means the Consumer Price Index for the month of August
for all Urban Consumers, All Items (Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton) issued from time to time by the
Bureau, or any other measure hereafter employed by the Bureau in lieu of the price index that
measures the cost of living or if said Bureau should cease to issue such indices and any other
agency of the United States should perform substantially the same function, then the indices
issued by such other agency.
(c) The adjusted Monthly Base Rent shall be determined by multiplying the Monthly
Base Rent being adjusted by a multiplier equal to the change in the Price Index since the last
adjustment, computed as follows:
(Percentage change in Price Index) x(current Monthly Base Rent) _(Adjusted Monthly Base Rent)
(d) Each five (5) years, commencing on January 1, 2007, the Monthly Base Rent shall
be revised based upon an appraisal establishing fair market rental value of the Premises,
excluding, however, the rental value of any Improvements constructed by Lessee. Lessor will
retain and pay the costs of an MAI appraiser. The annual adjustment formula set forth in
Sections 5(b) &(c) shall not be applied each such fifth (5`h) year. Lessor may, at its discretion,
utilize an appraisal completed within 12 months prior to the date of the periodic five year
adjustment. Additionally, this appraisal may be used by Lessor for setting rates for leases other
than this Lease. In the event the Lessee disagrees with Lessor's appraisals, the Lessee may, at
his or her own expense, retain a second appraisal. Lessor and Lessee will then attempt to
negotiate a lease rate. If these negotiations are unsuccessful, the lease rate shall be determined
pursuant to the following process:
(i) If said appraisers should fail to agree, but the difference in their conclusions as to
Fair Market Rental Value is ten percent (10%) or less of the lower of the two appraisals,
the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed the average of the two.
Lessor: City of Auburn Page 6
Lessee: B C Quality Aircraft Maintenance, LLC June 26, 2001
Resolution No. 3366 - Exhibit A
(ii) If the two appraisers should fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value,
and the difference between the two appraisals exceeds ten percent (10%), then the
two appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third M.A.I. qualified appraiser, and
in case of their failure to agree on a third appraiser within ten (10) days after their
individual determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, either party may apply
to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for the county in which the Premises
are situated, requesting said Judge to appoint the third M.A.I. qualified appraiser.
The third appraiser so appointed shall promptly determine the Fair Market Rental
Value of the Premises and the average of the appraisals of the two closest
appraisers shall be final, conclusive and binding upon both parties. The fees and
expenses of said third appraiser or the one appraiser Landlord and Tenant agree
upon, shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall
pay the fees and expenses of their respective appraiser. All M.A.I. appraisers
appointed or selected pursuant to this subsection shall have at least ten (10) years
experience appraising commercial properties in the greater Seattle metropolitan
area. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the new Monthly Base
Rent be adjusted to reduce the amount of Monthly Base Rent below the amount of
the respective Monthly Base Rent that is being adjusted.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Simultaneously with Lessee's execution and delivery of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor, as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Lessee of its obligations under this
Lease, the amount of $434.40 which is equal to one (1) month's worth of Monthly Base Rent
payable at the initial rate set forth in Section 4(a) above. If Lessee is in default hereunder, Lessor
may, but without obligation to do so, use all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure the
default or to compensate Lessor for all damages sustained by Lessor in connection therewith.
Lessee shall, immediately on demand, pay to Lessor a sum equal to the portion of the Security
Deposit so applied or used to replenish the amount of the Security Deposit held to increase such
deposit to the amount initially deposited with Lessor. At any time after Lessee has defaulted
hereunder, Lessor may require an increase in the amount of the Security Deposit required
hereunder for the then balance of the Term and Lessee shall, immediately on demand, pay to
Lessor such additional sums. As soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of this
Lease, Lessor shall return the Security Deposit to Lessee, less such amounts as are reasonably
necessary, as determined by Lessor, to remedy Lessee's default(s) hereunder or to otherwise
restore the Premises to a clean and safe condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If the cost
to restore the Premises exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall promptly
deliver to Lessor any and all of such excess sums. Lessor shall not be required to keep the
Security Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required by law, Lessee shall
not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event or circumstance shall Lessee have
the right to any use of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Lessee may not use the Security
Deposit as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder. Lessor may elect, in
Lessor: City of Auburn Page 7
Lessee: B C Quality Aircraft Maintenance, LLC June 26, 2001
Resolution No. 3366 - Exhibit A
Lessor's sole discretion, and if Lessee has not been in material default during the first twenty-
four (24) months of the Term hereof, to refund the Security Deposit to Lessee at the end of the
twenty-fourth (24th) Lease month.
7. LATE CHARGES
Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payments of rent or any other sums due hereunder
will cause the Lessor to incur costs not otherwise contemplated by this Lease. Accordingly, if
any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee is not received by the Lessor within ten
(10) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall pay the Lessor a late charge equal to 12% of the overdue amount. The parties agree
that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the Lessor will incur
by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by the Lessor shall in no
event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
the Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event
that a late charge is payable in this Lease or otherwise, whether or not collected, for three (3)
installments of rent in any 12-month period, then rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease to the contrary. In addition to the late charges provided for in this section, interest shall
accrue on rent, or any other sums due hereunder, at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 and
1/2%) per month from the date due until paid.
8. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS; DISPOSITION AT END OF LEASE
During the Term of this Lease, all improvements located on the Premises, including
without limitation, all additions, alterations, and improvements thereto or replacements thereof
and all appurtenant fixtures, machinery, and equipment installed therein, shall be the property of
Lessee. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all improvements and all additions,
alterations, and improvements thereto or replacements thereof and all appurtenant fixtures,
machinery, and equipment installed therein, shall automatically become the property of Lessor.
Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or upon termination of Lessee's right to
possession, Lessee shall remove at its expense all personal property which may have been placed
upon the Premises by Lessee. Any such property not so removed from the Premises shall, at the
election of Lessor, be retained by Lessor or may be removed and stored by Lessor at Lessee's
expense and Lessor shall recover any costs and expenses from the Lessee resulting therefrom.
In the event that Tenant makes sewer system improvements, whether located on or off of
the Premises, any rights of Tenant to reimbursement for such sewer system improvements shall
be determined by a separate sewer system latecomers agreement ("Latecomers Agreement"),
which Latecomers Agreement shall be in the standard form used by the City of Auburn. Upon
completion of any such sewer system improvements, the sewer system improvements shall
attach to and become a part of the Premises.

canceled by either party, except after thirty (30) days prior to written notice by certified mail,

shall have no liability for premiums; and be written by insurance companies having a Best's
rating of "A" and "X" or equivalent, which insurance companies shall otherwise be reasonably
acceptable to Lessor.
(d) Lessee shall furnish Lessor with evidences of the insurance required to be carried
by Lessee hereunder along with copies of policies and a copy of the amendatory endorsements,
including but not necessarily limited to the additional insured endorsement, evidencing the
insurance requirements of the Lessee.
(e) Policy limits shall be adjusted every five (5) years, commencing on January l,
2007, considering levels of inflation, risk of loss, premium expenses, and other relevant factors
in Lessor's commercially reasonable discretion.
(f) Lessor and Lessee hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery
against each other for any loss of, or damage to, either parties' property to the extent that such
loss or damage is insured by an insurance policy required to be in effect at the time of such loss
or damage or which is actually carried by such party. Each party shall obtain any special
endorsements, if required by its insurer, whereby the insurer waives its rights of subrogation
against the other party. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the
parties hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of
any insurance carrier.
10. INDEMNIFICATION/HOLD HARMLESS
The Lessee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lessor, its officers, officials,
employees and volunteers from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for
Lessor: City of Auburn Page 9
Lessee: B C Quality Aircraft Maintenance, LLC June 26, 2001
Resolution No. 3366 - Exhibit A

of Premises, or from the conduct of Lessee's business, or from any activity, work or thing done,
permitted, or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises, except only such injury or damage as
shall have been occasioned by the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Solely
for the purpose of effectuating Lessee's indemnification obligations under this Lease, and not for
the benefit of any third parties (including but not limited to employees of Lessee), Lessee
specifically and expressly waives any immunity that may be granted it under applicable federal,
state or local Worker Compensation Acts, Disability Benefit Acts or other employee benefit acts.
Furthermore, the indemnification obligations under this Lease shall not be limited in any way by
any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable to or for any
third party under Worker Compensation Acts, Disability Benefit Acts or other employee benefit
acts. The parties acknowledge that the foregoing provisions of this Section have been
specifically and mutually negotiated between the parties.

of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed to , substantially their condition prior to said
damage or destruction. All such work shall be carried out in accordance with plans and
specifications prepared by a licensed architect or architects approve by Lessor (acting
reasonably) if such an architect is reasonably required given the scope and nature of the work.

assigned, mortgaged, transferred or encumbered, nor shall all or any part of the Premises be
sublet (each of which, a"Transfer") without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor may
withhold or condition in its sole discretion. If Lessee is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, or any other entity, any transfer of a controlling ownership or voting interest

exchange or is traded over-the-counter). Any assignee or subtenant (each, a"Transferee") shall
assume all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable with
Lessee hereunder. Consent of the Lessor to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the
necessity for consent to any subsequent Transfer. In connection with each request for consent to
a Transfer, Lessee shall pay the reasonable cost of processing same, including reasonable
attorneys fees, upon demand of Lessor. If Lessor consents to any proposed Transfer, Lessee may
enter into the same, but only upon the specific terms and conditions set forth in Lessee's Request
for Consent; any such Transfer shall be subject to, and in full compliance with, all of the terms
and provisions of this Lease; the consent by Lessor to any Transfer shall not relieve Lessee of
any obligation under this Lease; Lessor may require the Lessee and the Transferee to execute a

provided that (i) each such subtenant maintains the insurance coverage required to be maintained
by Lessee hereunder; (ii) a copy of the documentation effecting such sublease shall be delivered
to Lessor as soon as reasonably possible after the effective date thereof, (iii) the subtenant shall
be deemed to have agreed to comply with all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease applicable
to the sublet premises; and (iv) each such sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to

investigations, proceedings or requirements; attorney fees in investigation, at trial or
administrative proceeding, or on appeal; witness or consultant costs; or any other liability to the
extent that such liability arises from a violation, or from the failure to satisfy a requirement of

damages incurred by Lessee as a result thereof, be construed as an eviction of Lessee, result in an
abatement of rent, or relieve Lessee from its obligation to perform or observe any covenant or
agreement contained in this Lease.

detainer/eviction statutes).
(c) Upon any default under this Lease, Lessor may reenter the Premises in the manner
then provided by law, and remove or put out Lessee or any other persons found therein. No such

notice of such intention is given to Lessee.
(d) Lessor may elect to re-let the Premises or any part thereof upon such terms and
conditions, including rent, term and remodeling or renovation, as Lessor in its sole discretion

persons or property therefrom, securing new Lessees, and, if Lessor maintains and operates the
Premises, the costs thereof); second, to pay any indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor other than rent;
third, to the rent due and unpaid hereunder; and fourth, the residue, if any, shall be held by
Lessor and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Lessee to Lessor as the same may

notice to Lessee of such election. If Lessor elects to terminate the Lease, Lessor shall have the
right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons, and to take possession of and remove all
equipment and fixtures of Lessee in the Premises, in the manner then provided by law. Lessee
hereby waives all damages that may be caused by Lessor's reentering and taking possession of
the Premises or removing or storing the property thereof, and Lessee shall save Lessor harmless
therefrom, and no such reentry shall be considered a forcible entry. If Lessar so elects to
terminate the Lease, Lessor may also recover from Lessee:
(I) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been
earned at the time of termination;
(II) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount
of rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(III) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
for the balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of rental loss that the
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
(IV) Any other amount necessary to compensate the Lessor for all the
detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under the Lease
or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and
(V) At Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing that may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
