NOW, THEREFORE, the City and IJLC agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. LEASED PREMISES. Subject to the following terms acid cenditions, the City hereby
leases to ULC, and ULC hereby leases from the City, the following described premises
(the "Property"), to wit:
Approximately 3.6 acres on the City parklands, commonly known as the Russell Road
Soccer Fields in Kent, Washington., which is further described in Exhibit A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
2. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be 42 (forty-two) years, unless earlier terminated as
provided herein, beginning November 1, 1998 and expiring on October 31, 2040.
3. CONSIDERATION FOR THIS LEASE.
A. As consideration for this lease and in lieu of market value lease payments for the
land, ULC Shall:
1. Pay the City one dollar per year during the term of this lease.
2. Construct an ice skating facility containing one sheet of ice on the
Property as set forth in the site plan and survey attached hereto as Exhibit
B, which is incorporated herein by this reference (hereinafter "Building
A") in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Lease.
During the term of this Lease, title to Building A will remain vested in
ULC. Upon termination or expiration of this Lease, however, Building A,
and Building B as identified in this agreement, if constructed, along with
fixtures and all other improvements on the Property, excluding equipment
and personal property, shall become the property of the City. ULC agrees
to execute any and all documents necessary to complete this conveyance
as may be necessary to comply with the Statute of Frauds. The parties
agree that this Lease shall suffice as an adequate "bill of sale" for Building
m
A on termination or expiration of this Lease in the event ULC does not
execute one.
co
3. Provide the City with use of the facility and its programs for organized
City purposes ("City Use"). City Use includes use by third parties
- designated by the City, including but not limited to schools. The City will
`-' have City Use of the facility on weekdays only (Monday through Friday)
f from September 1 through May 30 of any given year between the hours of
9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., excluding holidays. The City shall not be entitled
� to monetary compensation by ULC should the City not use the facility
during any or all of the dates and times allocated to it as provided herein.
City Use of the facility will be at no charge, including professional
instruction; however, equipment (i.e. skates) will be charged to the user.
Any changes in these City Use times and dates must be agreed upon in
writing by both parties. City Use (including City designated third party
use) will include learn-to-skate activities, but will not include public open
skate, organized hockey, or figure skating activities.
B. ULC estimates that the value of the above consideration paid by ULC will be
approximately one million six hundred thousand dollars ($t,600,000) over the life
of the lease. The amortized benefit to the City from such consideration under this
Lease will thus be approximately forty thousand ($40,000) per year, which shall
be deemed advance payments of rent hereunder. Further, ULC shall pay quarterly
to the City on the fifteenth day of the month following the end of each quarter, the
amount of State Leasehold Tax owing, as though the rent for the Property were
forty thousand ($40,000) per year. The State Leasehold Tax owing will begin
Ito
accruing on the beginning of the first full month following the month of issuance
of the building permit for Building A as identified in Section 4. ULC will be
responsible for any and all leasehold tax assessments that may be made by the
state and will indemnify and hold the City harmless from the same.
4. BUILDINGS TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY.
A. Building A. Within thirty (30) months of the beginning of the lease term, ULC
shall have constructed and opened for business Building A which shall be an ice
skating facility as set forth in Exhibit B. The ice skating facility shall be
developed as follows:
1. Building A will comply with all City codes. The size of Building A will
be approximately 40,000 square feet. The Building A design shall include
landscaping adequate to screen or otherwise enhance the appearance of the
building. The design shall also include an attractive entry area.
Cl)
C. 2. Prior to the beginning of major construction of Building A, ULC shall
provide either a performance bond acceptable to the City, an assignment
n of funds, or a letter of credit in the amount of seventy-five thousand
dollars ($75,000) to be held in a financial institution to be selected by
ULC.
r�
r� 3. ULC shall promptly pay all costs for construction, including permits.
c� ULC may, pursuant to permits duly obtained, remove dirt, grade the
Property, remove trees, and otherwise prepare and maintain the Property
in accordance with the overall purposes of this lease and as it deems
proper, subject to permit requirements. Any amounts received by ULC in
the course of such salvage activity may be used to reduce the cost of
capital improvements upon the Property.
4. ULC will consult with the City Director of Parks and Recreation during all
phases of design and construction of the facility to ensure an aesthetically
pleasing and quality designed and constructed facility on its park land.
5. Following constriction, all building maintenance and operations,
including utility expenses, shall be the responsibility of ULC.
B. Building B Option. Subject to permitting and zoning requirements, ULC shall
have the option to construct and operate a second ice arena building on the
Property containing a second sheet of ice, identified herein as Building B, similar
to that as proposed in Exhibit B. If this option is exercised and Building B is
completed and open for business, this lease will be extended by the number of
years of the original lease term that have expired at the time of receipt of all
necessary permits for the construction of Building B, but in no event shall the
exercise of this option by ULC extend the lease term beyond ten years. Prior to

construction of Building B, ULC shall be required to provide a performance bond
as required and in the amount set forth in paragraph 4 for construction of Building
A.

RESTRICTIONS. ULC agrees that it will use and occupy the Property primarily for the
purpose of providing an ice skating facility. ULC further agrees that neither it nor its
successors or assigns shall use the Property for any purpose whatsoever other than
skating or activities incident thereto without previously obtaining the express written
consent of the City or use the Property inconsistently with any zoning regulations. ULC
may provide for other compatible ancillary uses in conjunction with an ice skating
facility such as a restaurant, pro-shop, video arcade, game room, in-line skating and other
similar uses as long as the premises is used primarily for an ice skating facility. In the
event ULC or its successors or assigns wish to use the Property for other athletic, sports,
or recreational activities as the primary use of the facility, the City agrees it will consider
allowing such use, so long as it is consistent with other uses of Russell Road Park
facilities and so long as such proposed use is a legally permitted use within the zoning
district compliments and does not compete with existing City park use or uses. Under
these circumstances, the City shall not unreasonably withhold consent for such athletic,
sports, and recreational activities. In the event ULC or its successors or assigns wish to
use the Property for any other purpose (other than for athletic, sports or recreational
-� activities), the City may withhold its consent to do so for any reason whatsoever. Any
change in use approved by the City shall not interfere with the City's rights to the facility
established in paragraph 3(A)(3).

defaults are cured or waived; and (iii) all non-monetary defaults, other than by the
City and other than defaults that are "impossible" to cure as defined herein, then
existing with regard to the Lease herein are cured or waived, or such Assignee or
any designee or assignee therefore shall be diligently attempting to cure all such
non-monetary defaults and the said defaults are reasonably capable of being cured
in the manner then being diligently pursued, then the City shall execute and
deliver to such Assignee or such designee or assignee a new lease agreement

PROPOSED
KENT PARK
ICE ARENA
Lynnwood's Sno-King Ice Arena, Inc.is pleased to present the following for your
consideration:We propose to design,build,and operate a full service ice arena on the land
commonly known as the Russel Road soccer fields. (Approximately 5 acres of Kent
paddand.) If acceptable,the ice arena would be constructed as a first-class,stateof--the-
art facility,with all related amenities in-house. It would be our intent to design,construct,
and operate,a single sheet ice arena facility with total construction costs estimated
between$3,500,000.00 and$4,000,000.00.
cv
ICE ARENA DESIGN
0
0
rn
The design of the ice arena will depend upon the natural surroundings of the site.
However, every effort will be made to create a final design that will be in harmony with the
parks other facilities. In addition, great care will be taken to add significant trees and
o landscaping to the site whenever possible. It will be our intent to construct a first-class
N
facility with all related amenities in-house. We will utilize a steel frame building, exterior
walls of tiR-up concrete and split face masonry block, and a entrance featuring glass
curtainwall. The design will be based on a pair of ice rinks adjacent to a two-story amenity
core. The project would be constructed in two phases, with the second phase contingent
upon increased demand.
Phase 1: The main arena will feature a National Hockey League (NHL) regulation sized
(200 feet by 85 feet) skating rink with seating for at least 1200 spectators (appx. 30,000
square feet). The arena will be adjacent to a two story amenity core containing skaters'
lobby, restaurant1snac k bar, pro shop, dressing rooms, referee rooms, offices,
concessions, and miscellaneous ancillary space (appx 15,000 square feet). The facility
will be made available to the general public for open skating sessions, hockey and figure
skating. All amenities and refrigeration will be designed so as to accommodate expansion
should demand necessitate a second skating rink. We estimate the cost to complete
phase 1 of the facility to be between$3,500,000.00 to$4,000,000.00.
Phase 2: If demonstrated demand exceeds capacity for the single sheet arena, then a
second skating rink will be added adjacent which will share the aforementioned amenity
core and mechanical rooms. The second NHL ice sheet will be designed to supplement
the main arena and will provide only minimal seating. if constructed, the 22,000 square
foot addition would increase the total cast by approximately $2,500,000.00 bringing the
overall cost to$6,000,000.00 to$8,500,000.00 for the two-sheet facility.
110
BENEFITS TO KENT:
1.) FULL SERVICE ICE ARENA IN COMMUNITY.
Due to high costs associated with developing public ice arenas,few communities can
afford to provide ice skating for their citizens. Through this cooperative agreement,
Kent would become only the third community to have a public ice arena in the greater
Seattle area,and the fast to get a new public ice arena in over 21 years.
2.) NO COST.
Other than providing the land according to the terms of the land lease below, Kent
would incur no costs associated with building and operating the new arena.
3.) KENT SCHOOL PROGRAMS.
m
As additional consideration we will make available a Kent School program whereby
schools may elect to bring students to the ice arena on weekdays for ice-skating and
o Instruction. The ice arena will be available between 9:00 AM. and 11:00 A.M. during
every school day for the use of Kent Schools. These times, if purchased
Q' independently,would cost approximately$100,000.00 for each school year. The only
cost to Kent Schools would be for the rental of ice skates (if needed). No Ice rental,
admission fee or group instruction fee will be charged during these sessions.
0 4.) EXPERIENCED OPERATORIESTABLISHED PROGRAMS.
0
cv .
Lynnwood's Sno-King Ice Arena has been serving the needs of the community for
over 20 years. Current ownership has operated the facility since late 1989. As such,
we are experienced in ice arena operations and have a multitude of diverse programs
that can be immediately implemented in Kent. Learn to Skate School, Family rates,
Cheapskate sessions, Christian Skate night, Skate for DAR.E., Teen night, youth
hockey, adult hockey, learn to play hockey dinics, figure skating, competitions, and
birthday party packages represent a few of the programs which can be organized in
the new arena.
Further, as an experienced operator, we know the financial aspects of the ice arena
business. When current ownership purchased Lynnwood's Sno-King Ice Arena,Inc.in
1989,the corporation was in chapter 11 reorganization. By 1990,we had successfully
reorganized the business paying all creditors in full together with 10% interest from
their original invoice due date. For our efforts we were awarded the Small Business
Award in 1993 from the South Snohomish County Chamber of Commerce.
5.) IMMEDIATE DEVELOPMENT.
Lynnwood's Sno-King Ice Arena,Inc.is actively looking for properly upon which
to construct a new facility. We have already completed appraisals and
preliminary financing Information. We are ready, willing and able to begin
development immediately with a targeted opening date In the fall of 1999.
110
6.) 2530 NEW JOBS IN COMMUNITY.
The ice arena would bring 25 to 30 new Jobs to the community on a year around
basis.
7.) CLEAN,HEALTHY FAMILY ACTIVITY.
Ice-skating is a clean, healthy family activity that would fit nicely with the existing sports
fields in the park.
8.) OPERATOR COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
As a community oriented business we recognize our responsibility to support other
interest groups in the area. As such, it is our policy to accommodate donation
requests whenever possible. At Lynnwood's Sno-KGng Ice Arena we receive and
process hundreds of donation requests each year. Attached Is a list of some of the

LAND LEASE TERMS
In consideration of the aforementioned improvements we would request a 40 year
land lease for the sum of One Dollar($1.00)per year. In the event a second ice sheet
Is constructed we would request that the term be re-negotiated to Insure adequate
time to recoup our additional Investment. Because drainage and soil conditions are
C, of critical Importance to an Ice arena,we would request that the final Agreement be
contingent upon a soil Inspection. We would request the right to share the park's
`" adjacent parking facilities (the Ice arena Is a heavy winter use and would
o compliment the predominately summer demand in the park). Finally, as power
o costs are crucial to the ongoing operation, we would like the opportunity to
rn
purchase power from the City (assuming the City rates are significantly less than
normal commercial rates.)through the lease document
