REAL PROPERTY LEASE

 

PARTIES:

STERLING PACIFIC, a partnership (Lessor)

COUNTRY COACH, INC., an Oregon corporation (Tenant)

 

AGREEMENTS:

 

1.                                       PREMISES:  Lessor hereby leases to Tenant approximately 2,200 square feet of offices and 24,600 square feet of industrial building commonly known as 29417 Airport Road, Eugene, Oregon. The area leased as described in the preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Leased Premises.

 

2.                                       TERM.  This lease shall run for a period of One (1) year commencing on November 3, 2003, and terminating at 12 midnight on November 2, 2004. In addition, Tenant shall have the option to renew the term for four additional one year periods as hereinafter provided.

 

3.                                       RENT.  Tenant shall pay as monthly rent for the first year term of this lease NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($9,000.00) per month. Rent payment shall be due on the first day of each month, in advance, except for the first and last month which shall be prorated. In the event rent is not paid by the tenth (10th) day of the month, a late fee of five (5%) percent of the monthly Rent amount shall be added to, and due with, the monthly rent payment. Rent shall be adjusted as set forth below. The rent shall be paid to Lessor at the address hereinafter provided (see paragraph 30) for giving notice to Lessor, or at such other place or to such other person as Lessor may designate in writing. Rent for the renewal option shall be as subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

 

The monthly rent shall be adjusted on the first day of each successive renewal year after the initial term of this lease to reflect changes in the cost of living with an annual cap of three percent (3%). The adjustment shall be made by multiplying the rent in effect immediately preceding the adjustment by a fraction wherein the Index at the adjustment date is the numerator and the Index at the date the rent in effect was established (which date is the first day of the initial term or the adjustment made during the initial term and which date is the first day of the renewal term for the adjustments made during the renewal term) is the denominator. “Index” as used herein as defined as the United States Department of Labor, Consumer Price Index U.S. City Average (CPI-U) (1982-84 -100 for All Urban Consumers).

 

An example of the operation of this provision is as follows:

 

If this lease commences on November 1, 2003, and the Index at that date is 180; and the Index as of November, 2004 is 184; then the rent will be established by the following formula:

 

$9,000 x 184/180 = $9,200. The rent for the period from November 1, 2004 to November 1, 2005 shall be the amount of $9,200 per month.

 

If the Index information is not available at the date of any adjustment to be made hereunder, the adjustment shall be made as soon as such information is available, retroactive to the effective date, and any adjustment in the rent shall be paid by Tenant to Lessor forthwith upon the furnishing of such information from Lessor to Tenant. In the event the Index becomes unavailable for any reason, the adjustment provided herein shall be based upon the most comparable index then available from the United States Department of Labor.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, in no event shall the monthly rent be reduced below the amount of NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($9,000.00).

Such termination shall, at the election of Lessor, also terminate any sublease by Tenant, whether or not Lessor has theretofore consent to such sublease.

 

c. Lessor may elect to relet the Leased Premises.

 

The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to, and shall not exclude, any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity. The ten (10) day grace period for the payment of amounts coming due hereunder is in recognition of the ten (10) day grace period for the payment of rent provided by the statutes of the state of Oregon; and shall not be construed as an addition to, or an extension of, such grace period provided the statute.

a. Any amount by which Tenant’s total obligations under this lease exceed the reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises as at the date of default, for the remaining term of the lease.

 

b. The reasonable costs of reentry and reletting, including, but not limited to, any expense of cleaning, repairing, altering, remodeling, refurbishing, removing Tenant’s property, or any other expense incurred in recovering possession of the Leased Premises or reletting the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, court costs, broker’s commissions and advertising expense.

Lessor shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the damage or destruction within which to decide whether the repairs or reconstruction shall be made. If Lessor decides to repair or reconstruct, this lease shall continue in full force and effect, however, if the extent of the damage prevents, or will prevent, the Tenant from using the leased premises for its manufacturing operation for a period of 90 days from the date of the damage, then the Tenant shall have the option to terminate the lease immediately. If Lessor elects to repair or reconstruct, the repairs or reconstruction shall be commenced without undue delay and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion. In any event, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction of the rent from the date of such damage or destruction until the repair or reconstruction is completed in an amount proportionate to the extent to which said damage or destruction and the making of repairs interferes with the occupancy by the Tenant of the Leased Premises.

 

19.                                 TAKING FOR PUBLIC USE.  If the Leased Premises, in whole or in part, are taken or condemned for public use (an agreed sale to a public or quasi-public corporation or utility after threat of condemnation constitutes a taking for public use), all compensation awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall be according to the working laws in effect in the state of Oregon at the time of the taking or condemnation.

 

20.                                 PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE.  Lessee shall obtain and maintain in force a policy or policies of fire insurance on the Leased Premises and in such amounts sufficient to cover replacement value. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, insure all personal property and fixtures of Tenant located upon the Leased Premises for their full insurable value.

 

21.                                 TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.  Subject to the provisions contained in this paragraph relating to reimbursement, Lessor shall pay all real property taxes and assessments upon the Leased Premises. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for the full amount of the real property taxes within 30 days after receipt of written notice from Lessor of payment of such taxes and assessments. Real property taxes and assessments for the first and last partial fiscal years of this lease shall be prorated between Lessor and Tenant as at the commencement date and as at the termination date of this lease.

 

Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes on personal property of Tenant located upon the Leased Premises. Tenant shall, upon written request of Lessor, reimburse Lessor for any portion of the real property taxes attributable to trade fixtures or other improvements attached to or constructed upon the Leased Premises by Tenant.

 

If a new charge or fee relating to the ownership or use of the Leased Premises or the receipt of rental therefrom or in lieu of real property taxes is assessed or imposed, then, to the extent permitted by law, Tenant shall pay such charge or fee. Tenant, however, shall have no obligation to pay any income, profits, or franchise tax levied on the net income derived by Lessor from this lease.

 

22.                                 OPTION & NOTICE TO RENEW.  Provided that Tenant is not in default at the time of the giving of notice of the exercise of the option to renew, or at the

 

6



 

commencement date of the renewed term, Tenant shall have an option to renew this lease for four (4) additional periods of one (1) year by giving written notice thereof to Lessor not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the initial term, or current term, of this lease. Such renewed term(s) shall be upon the identical terms and conditions contained in this for the initial term except that the rent shall be at a rate established by the CPI formula previously stated.

 

23.                                 RIGHT OF REFUSAL.  If, during any term of this lease Lessor is prepared to accept a bona fide offer to purchase the building and the real property of which the Leased Premises are a part, Lessor shall give written notice to Tenant of the terms of such purchase offer and Tenant shall have a period of seven days from the date of receipt of such notice within which to elect to purchase on the identical terms and conditions of such offer, by giving written notice of such elections to Lessor. In the event Tenant fails to give such timely written notice of such election to purchase, Lessor may sell the building and real property, upon terms not more favorable to the purchaser than contained in such notice.

 

24.                                 MORTGAGE PRIORITY.  This lease is and shall be prior to any mortgage or deed of trust (“Encumbrance”) recorded prior to or after the date of this lease and affecting the Leased Premises. However, if any lender holding an Encumbrance recorded after the date of this lease requires that this lease be subordinate to the Encumbrance, then Tenant agrees that the lease shall be subordinate to the Encumbrance if the holder thereof agrees in writing with Tenant that as long as Tenant performs Tenant’s obligations under this lease no foreclosure, deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or sale pursuant to the terms of the Encumbrance, or other steps or procedures taken under the Encumbrance shall affect Tenant’s rights under this lease. If the foregoing condition is met, Tenant shall execute the written agreement and any other documents required by the holder of the Encumbrance to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph. If the Leased Premises are sold as a result of foreclosure of any Encumbrances thereon, or otherwise transferred by Lessor or any successor, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser or transferee.

 

25.                                 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.  Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Lessor, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), stating the dates to which the rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant, stating whether or not Lessor is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this lease and, if so, specifying each default, and stating the address to which notices to Tenant shall be sent.

 

26.                                 LATE CHARGE.  If any payment coming due from Tenant to Lessor is not received by Lessor within ten (10) days from the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment coming due, but in no event shall such late charge exceed any maximum charge now or hereafter established by law. Lessor’s right to collect any late charge shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lessor hereunder or at law or in equity.

 

27.                                 CONDITIONS.  If Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of Tenant’s creditors of all or any portion of the assets of Tenant; or if Tenant proposes or consents to a composition with unsecured creditors of Tenant; or if any

 

7



 

interest of Tenant hereunder is levied upon by legal process for the enforcement of any debt of Tenant, individually or jointly; or if Tenant becomes insolvent; Lessor shall have the right to terminate this lease by giving written notice of termination to Tenant. Specifically, the time periods for curing defaults provided in the paragraph of this lease relating to default shall not be applicable to the provisions of this paragraph.

 

28.                                 HOLDING OVER.  If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the term of this lease, or an extended terms, such holding over shall be deemed to create a tenancy at will which may be terminated after first providing 60-day prior written notice by either party.

 

29.                                 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS.  Each of the parties releases the other, and the agents, employees and successors of such other party, from all claims, demands and liabilities arising from unintentional acts or omissions of the other party which result in loss for which the party sustaining such loss is indemnified under a policy or policies of insurance.
