LEASE
THIS LEASE
(this “ Lease
” ) is made and entered into as of the first day of
November, 2005, by and between Levine & Riggle Rental
Company Limited Partnership, an Arizona limited partnership
(“ Lessor ”) , and Adventure Vending
Inc., a Washington corporation (“ Lessee
”).
WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the
mutual agreements, covenants and promises set forth in this Lease
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and validity of which is hereby acknowledged, Lessor
and Lessee agree as follows:
1. Leased Premises: Lessor
leases to Lessee and Lessee accepts and leases from Lessor, upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, that certain real
property located in the City of Chandler, County of
, State of Arizona, more particularly described on Exhibit
“A” attached hereto (the “ Land
” ) and the buildings and other improvements located on
the Land (the “ Improvements ”; the Land
and the Improvements being collectively called the “
Premises ”), which is that certain real property
commonly known as 7170 West Oakland,
County, Chandler, Arizona.
2. Lease Term: This Lease
shall be in effect for a period commencing on November 1, 2005
(the “ Commencement Date ”) and expiring
on midnight October 31, 2007. (the “ Lease
Term ”) unless this Lease shall sooner terminate as
hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease may
be terminated at any time by Lessee upon not less than ninety
(90) days prior written notice to Lessor. At the termination
of this Lease, all items of rent, taxes, insurance, utilities and
other matters shall be adjusted and prorated as of the date of
termination, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, or Lessor shall pay to
Lessee, as the case may be, such sums as shall be required to
accomplish the proration.
3. Rent: Lessee shall,
commencing on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each
month during the Initial Term pay to Lessor as base rent (the
“ Base Rent ” ) the sum of Four Thousand
Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($4,500.00).
4. Payment of Rent: Lessee
shall pay the monthly installments of Base Rent and all other sums
due under this Lease to Lessor, without notice or demand, and
except as expressly set forth in this Lease, without deduction,
abatement or setoff, on the first day of each month during the
Lease Term, at c/o Pacific Companies, 1702 East Highland, Suite
310, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, or at such other place, or to such
other person or persons as Lessor may designate in writing. All
sums due under this Lease shall be payable in current legal tender
of the United States of America. The extension of time for the
payment of any installment of Base Rent or any other sums due
hereunder, or the acceptance by Lessor of any late payment, will
not constitute the waiver of the right of Lessor to insist on
having all other payments due here-under made in the manner and at
the time herein specified. Concurrently with the execution of this
Lease by Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the monthly installment
of Base Rent, together with the taxes thereon referenced in
Paragraph 8(a) below, for the first (1st) month of the
Lease Term.
5. Payment of Expenses:
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it will share common office,
utility, refuse removal and janitorial expenses at the Premises
with Pacific Communications, Inc. ( “ Pacific
” ). Lessee acknowledges that it will receive a monthly
invoice in the form of “ Exhibit B ” attached
hereto (the “ Expense Invoice ” ), which
Expense Invoice will assess expenses to Lessee based on the
percentages set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Lessee agrees to
promptly pay to Lessor the amount set forth on each monthly Expense
Invoice pursuant to the payment instructions set forth on such
Expense Invoice.
6. Late Charges: If any
amount due to Lessor is not received in full by Lessor on or before
ten (10) days after the date any such payment is due, then
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late payment charge in
1
the amount of five percent (5%) of the
amount then due. The parties acknowledge that the damages Lessor
will suffer in the event of late payments would be extremely
difficult to calculate and the parties agree that the foregoing
late payment charge is a reasonable estimate of Lessor’s
probable damages, and as such, constitutes a reasonable charge for
the expenses Lessor will suffer if Lessee fails to pay any such sum
when due, and is not a penalty. No payments need be accepted after
said ten (10) day period unless accompanied by the late
payment charge. This provision shall not be construed to allow or
permit Lessee to make payments after the due date, or to waive any
of Lessor’s rights in connection therewith.
7. Additional Rent: In
addition to Base Rent, all other amounts to be paid by Lessee to
Lessor pursuant to this Lease, if any, shall be deemed to be
Additional Rent, whether or not designated as such and shall be due
and payable upon demand or together with the next succeeding
installment of Base Rent, whichever shall first occur. Lessor shall
have the same remedies for the failure to pay Additional Rent as
for the nonpayment of Base Rent.
8. Taxes:
(a) Occupancy, Sales and Rent
Taxes: In addition to and together with its payments of Base
Rent and Additional Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any
governmental taxes, other than income taxes, now or hereafter
imposed on Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges collected
or paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including, without
limitation, state or local rental, occupancy, sales, transaction
privilege and excise taxes.
(b) Personal Property Taxes:
Lessee shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority, not later
than ten (10) days prior to delinquency, all personal property
taxes assessed against any personal property of Lessee located on
or used in connection with the Premises.
(c) Real Property Taxes:
Lessee shall pay all real property taxes and assessments
(including, but not limited to water, irrigation project, sewer,
street, paving and other improvement lien assessments) against the
Premises. Lessee shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated
annual amount of such real estate taxes and assessments to Lessor,
together with and at the same time that each monthly installment of
Base Rent is due pursuant to Paragraphs 4 and 5 above. From
time to time, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of the most
current tax assessment against the Premises, together with
Lessor’s computation of the monthly amount of such tax to be
paid by Lessee. At the end of each full tax year during the term of
this Lease and again at the expiration or termination of this
Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall calculate the actual tax paid or
owing for the Premises, and Lessee shall be credited or charged, as
the case may be, for such adjustments as may be necessary by reason
of any difference between the actual amounts determined by Lessor
to have been paid or owing for the Premises (or the pro-rata
portion of such amount notwithstanding that payment to the taxing
authority may not then be due) and the amount of such taxes
actually paid by Lessee to Lessor.
9. Use of Leased Premises:
Lessee may occupy and use the Premises throughout the Lease Term
for any legal and lawful business purpose and for no other purpose
whatsoever (the “ Use ” ). Lessee shall
not use or occupy or permit the Premises to be used or occupied,
nor to do or permit anything to be done in or on the Premises, in a
manner which will in any way make void or voidable any insurance
then in force with respect thereto. Further, Lessee shall not use
or occupy the Premises, nor permit anything to be done in or on the
Premises which will cause or be likely to cause structural damage
to the Improvements or any part thereof, or which will constitute a
public or private nuisance, or which will violate the rights of
adjoining landowners and Lessee shall not use or occupy or permit
the Premises to be used or occupied in any manner which will
violate any laws. Throughout the Lease Term, Lessee, at its sole
cost and expense, shall promptly remove any violation and shall
promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances,
orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state,
and municipal governments or any other body exercising functions
similar to those of any of the foregoing which may be related to
the Premises, or any part thereof, or to the use or manner of use
of the Premises, or any part thereof. Lessee shall not do or suffer
any waste, damage, disfigurement or injury to the Premises or any
part thereof.

10. Intentionally
Omitted.
11. Alterations and
Improvements: Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s
sole cost and expense, to make alterations and improvements to the
Premises, provided that Lessee first obtains Lessor’s written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In
seeking such approval, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the plans and
specifications therefor and the names and addresses of contractors
being used to make such improvements. All improvements shall be
made in a lien-free manner, in compliance with all applicable
governmental regulations and in conformance with plans and
specifications approved by Lessor. Lessee shall give Lessor at
least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date of
commencement of any construction on the Premises. All alterations,
improvements, additions and fixtures made or installed by Lessee
shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and shall become the property of Lessor,
unless Lessor shall, either prior to the expiration or termination
of this Lease, or within ten (10) days after the termination
or expiration of this Lease, give written notice to Lessee
directing Lessee to remove the same or such of the same as shall be
specified by Lessor, and all damage occasioned in connection with
such removal shall be repaired by Lessee at its sole cost and
expense.
12. Maintenance and
Repairs:
(a) Lessee’s
Maintenance: Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall
maintain in good order and repair (making all necessary
replacements, renewals, and alterations, thereto) the interior of
the Premises and any improvements now existing or hereafter made
upon the Premises by Lessee, and all furnishings, fixtures and
equipment located therein, in a good, safe, sanitary and neat
manner. Lessee’s maintenance obligations shall include,
without limitation, any and all interior and non-structural walls;
all water, drain, sewer, heating, electrical and other pipes, lines
or ducts in the Premises; all fixtures, electrical and lighting
facilities; all windows, doors, plate glass, window and door
frames; and any Lessee signage in or about the Premises. Lessee
shall keep all drainage pipes in the Premises free and open and
will protect water, heating and other pipes within the Premises so
that they will not freeze or become clogged, and will repair all
leaks, and will also repair all damage caused by leaks or otherwise
by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this
paragraph. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense for its pro
rata share as set forth below, perform all ordinary maintenance and
repair of the HVAC system serving the Premises as is customary and
reasonable, under a net lease, to maintain it in good order and
repair. All maintenance and repair work shall comply with
applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. Lessee shall further
keep and maintain any sidewalk area in front of the Premises. If
any of the foregoing are common facilities shared with Pacific,
such cost and expenses related to such common facilities shall be
shared on a pro rata basis with Pacific and invoiced to Lessee and
Pacific pursuant to Paragraph 5 above.
(b) Lessor’s
Maintenance: Lessor shall maintain and repair throughout the
term of the Lease the structural portions of the roof and the roof
membrane, the surfaces of exterior walls, the structural portions
of the Improvements and the foundation, and the pipes, utility and
sewer lines, serving the exterior of the Improvements to the
Premises. All maintenance and repair work shall comply with
applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.
13. Access: Lessor and its
authorized representatives shall have, at all reasonable times,
upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours advance written
notice (except in the event of an emergency, in which event only
such notice as may be reasonable under the circumstances shall be
required), the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to
exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or lessees,
to make any necessary repairs to the Premises, or to perform any
work (i) which may be necessary to comply with any laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations of any public authority, or
(ii) that Lessor may deem necessary to prevent waste or
deterioration in connection with the Premises if Lessee does not
make or cause such repairs to be made or performed or cause such
work to be performed promptly after receipt of a written request
from Lessor. Lessor shall have the right at all times to retain a
key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon or about the
Premises, excluding Lessee’s vaults, safes and
files.

contractors, attorneys, accountants and representatives of the
referenced person and the predecessors, heirs, successors and
assigns of any such person (collectively, “
Representatives ” ); (ii) the term “
Lessor Parties ” means Lessor and Lessor’s
Representatives; (iii) the term “ Indemnify
” means indemnify, defend and hold free and harmless for,

4
Damage
” will have the same meanings as in the form of
commercial general insurance policy issued by Insurance Services
Office, Inc. most recently prior to the date of the injury or loss
in question.
(iv) Intentionally
Omitted
(v) Duty to Defend.
Lessee’s duty to defend Lessor Parties is separate and
independent of Lessee’s duty to Indemnify Lessor Parties.
Lessee’s duty to defend includes Claims for which Lessor
Parties may be liable without fault or may be strictly liable.
Lessee’s duty to defend applies regardless of whether issues
of negligence, liability, fault, default or other obligation on the
part of Lessee Parties have been determined. Lessee’s duty to
defend applies immediately, regardless of whether Lessor Parties
have paid any sums or incurred any detriment arising out of or
relating, directly or indirectly, to any Claims. It is the express
intention of Lessor and Lessee that Lessor Parties will be entitled
to obtain summary adjudication regarding Lessee’s duty to
defend Lessor Parties at any stage of any Claim within the scope of
this Paragraph 14 .
(vi) Obligations Independent of
Insurance. The indemnification provided in this Paragraph
14 shall not be construed or interpreted as in any way
restricting, limiting or modifying Lessee’s insurance or
other obligations under this Lease, and the provisions of this
Paragraph 14 are independent of Lessee’s insurance and
other obligations. Lessee’s compliance with the insurance
requirements and other obligations under this Lease does not in any
way restrict, limit or modify Lessee’s indemnification
obligations under this Lease.
(vii) Survival. The
provisions of this Paragraph 14 will survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease until all Claims against
Lessor Parties involving any of the indemnified or waived matters
are fully and finally barred by the applicable statutes of
limitations.
(b) Waiver of
Subrogation.
Lessor and Lessee each hereby waive
any rights one may have against the other and their respective
Representatives, on account of any loss or damage occasioned to
Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, or their respective property,
the Premises, its contents or to other portions of the Premises,
arising from any risk covered by any policy of property insurance
then in effect. In addition, Lessor and Lessee, for themselves and
on behalf of their respective insurance companies, waive any right
of subrogation that any such insurance company may have against
Lessor, Lessor’s lender, any other tenant of the Premises, or
Lessee, and their respective Representatives as the case may be. It
is the intent of the parties that with respect to any loss from a
named peril required to be covered under a policy of property
insurance, the parties shall look solely to their respective
insurance company for recovery. The foregoing waivers of
subrogation shall be operative only so long as available in the
State of Illinois and provided further that no policy of insurance
is invalidated thereby.
(c) Lessee’s Insurance.
From and after the Commencement Date, Lessee shall carry, at
Lessee’s sole cost and expense, the following types of
insurance, in the amounts specified or in such higher amounts as
requested by Lessor and which are customary in the Phoenix
