Late payments of rent and any other amount due hereunder shall further accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum commencing on the first day that the applicable payment is past due and ending on the day the entire payment is received by Lessor. 3. Rent Adjustments. The monthly rent shall be adjusted on April 1st of each year during the term of this Lease to reflect the cost of inflation in the following manner.

The rent is based upon the formula used by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources as it pertains to nonwater-dependent uses on property leased to the City of Port Orchard.

In addition to the rental amount, the Lessee will be responsible to pay before delinquency any personal property taxes, real estate taxes, real estate assessments, and leasehold excise taxes, if any, related to the Premises. 7.

Lessee is granted one option to extend the term of this Lease for an additional five year period ("Option Period"), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, that said right to extend for such Option Period (" 'on") may be exercised only in the event Lessee is not in default either at the time said Option right is exercised nor at the time such Option Period is to commence, nor has ever been in default during the time of the Lease. The words "Lease Term" or "Term," as used in this Lease, shall mean the term of this Lease as extended by Lessee pursuant to this Section. 2. EXERCISE OIL OPTION. To exercise the Option described in this Section above, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing (" EL ") no later than ninety (go) calendar days prior to the expiration of the initial Lease term. 3. CONTVDMG EFFECT. In the event Lessee properly exercises its Option right as provided herein and the term of this Lease is extended as provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the Option Period, (except the Option right then exercised), including but not limited to Lessee's obligation to pay rent and other charges and expenses provided for in the Lease and provided, that (1) no rental concession, reduced or free rent, tenant improvement allowance or other concessions shall be due or payable to Lessee during or with respect to such Option Period; (2) rent during the Option Period shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, but in no event shall the rent for the first year of the Option Period be less than the rent payable in the last year of the previous Lease term. 4. RENT DURING OPTION PERIOD. (a) In the event Lessee validly exercises its Option as herein provided, the rent shall be adjusted to the then current market rate for the Premises, determined as of the commencement date of the Option Period, as follows: Within thirty (3o) days after Lessor receives Lessee's Election, Lessor shall provide Lessee with Lessor's determination of the fair market rent for the Option Period ("Lessor's Determination"). Lessee shall provide notice to Lessor within ten (io) days after receipt of such notice from Lessor as to whether Lessee accepts Lessor's Determination. In the event Lessee does not agree to Lessor's Determination, Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon rent for the Premises for the Option Period, such rent to be the fair market rental value of the Premises for the Option Period. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rent for the Option Period by the date forty five (45) days prior to the commencement of the option, Peninsula Feed Lease No. 0 2-I'1-'-IL.. Page 13 of 6 then within ten (1o) days thereafter each party, at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a real estate broker with at least ten (1o) years full-time commercial real estate experience in Kitsap County to appraise and set rent for the Option Period. If a party does not appoint a broker within ten (io) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set rent for the Option Period. If each party shall have so appointed a broker, the two broker(s) shall meet promptly and attempt to set the rent for the Option Period. If the two broker(s) are unable to agree within thirty (3o) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third broker meeting the qualifications herein stated within ten (1o) days after the last day the two broker(s) are given to set rent. If the two broker(s) are unable to agree on the third broker within such ten (1o) day period, either of the parties to this Lease, by giving five (5) days' notice to the other party, may apply to the then presiding judge of the Superior Court of the Kitsap County for the selection of a third broker meeting the qualifications stated in this Section. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker's fee. The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party. (b) Within thirty (3o) days after the selection of the third broker, a majority of the broker(s) shall set rent for the Option Period. If a majority of the broker(s) are unable to set rent within the stipulated period of time, the three appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be the rent for the Premises during the Option Period. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal is/are more than ten percent (io%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2), and the resulting quotient shall be rent for the Premises during the Option Period. (c) For purposes of the appraisal, the term "fair market rental value" shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the commencement date of the Option Period, as rent to a ready and willing Lessor of premises comparable to the Premises in Kitsap County, if such premises were exposed for Lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time; including any rent increases over the Option Period to the extent normal under then current market conditions. In no event shall there be deducted from such fair market rental value, the value of any concessions, including without limitation tenant improvements, commissions, free rent and/or "downtime". In no event shall the fair market rental value for any applicable Option Period be less than the rent in effect during the month immediately preceding the commencement of such Option Period. (d) Any delay or failure of Lessor in computing or billing for the rent adjustment hereinabove provided, shall not constitute a waiver of or in any way impair the Lessee's obligation to pay such rent adjustment hereunder. In the event of any such delay or failure Peninsula Feed Lease No. '. Page 14 of 6 of Lessor to notify Lessee of the rent adjustment, Lessee shall continue paying the rent due prior to the applicable adjustment until notified by Lessor of the rent adjustment.
