Box 310 Kent, Washington 98031 Gentlemen: Your attention is directed to the rate of rental which you pay for premises occupied under Lease No. (HP) 16953 at Kent, Washington. The rental no longer reflects a fair return on market value of the leased property and considering present day values, the rental must be increased to $5 per month, payable annually. Lease No. (NP) 16953 is thus hereby supplemented to provide that effective May 1, 1980, the rental shall be $5 per month, payable annually in advance and future billing will reflect this change. Specifying a rental rate on a monthly or annual basis and payment thereof in advance does not imply nor will it serve to convert said lease to a definite term. It has also been determined that the rate of return on special assess- ments specified in said lease is no longer adequate and, therefore, in the event of future special assessments the rental herein stipulated to be paid shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum on the total amount of the assessment chargeable against the demised premises. This letter will serve as a supplement to Lease No. (NP) 16953 which will continue in effect in accordance with its terms except as hereby supplemented and amended.

O. Box 310 Kent, WA Gentlemen: Your attention is directed to the rate of rental which you pay for premises occupied under lease No. (NP) 16953, at Kent, WA. In view of the economic changes which have occurred during the past several years, the rental in said lease no longer reflects an adequate return on the value of the property occupied under said lease. Considering present day values, the current money market and other related factors, we have concluded that the rental for the subject property must be increased to $30 per year, payable annually in advance. Lease No. (NP) 16953 is thus hereby supplemented to provide that effective May 1, 1977, the rental shall be $30 per year, payable annually in advance and future billing will reflect this change. Specifying a rental rate on a monthly or annual basis and payment thereof in advance does not imply nor will it serve to convert said lease to a definite term. It has also been determined that the rate of return on special assessments specified in said lease is no longer adequate and, therefore, in the event of future special assessments the rental herein stipulated to be paid shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum on the total amount of the assessment chargeable against the demised premises.

GORDON, Manager z M el E Representative C March 13, 1974 TO: Whom It May Concern FROM: Helen Adams, Parks Secretary SUBJECT: NP Lease 16953 While checking the Burlington Northern Lease #NP 16953 , it was discovered that payment had not been made on the lease since April 1956 . The lease requires five dollars for each five year period payable in advance. The payment in 1956 paid the lease through April 1961 . On February 6 , 1974 purchase/order #17392 was written to Burlington Northern for $15 . 00 to pay the lease through April 1976 . On March 8 , 1974 they refunded $10 . 00 of this amount to the City of Kent. A telephone call was placed to Mr . Jim Gordon of Burlington Northern— He returned the call today, stating that we should keep the check. The file has been lost in Saint Paul , Minn- estoa office , and their computer shows that we are paid through April 1976 . He stated it would be cheaper for them if we just kept the check. They will bill us in 1976 for the next five year period. The check is being deposited today to the credit of account 105-533-100-392 . Tacoma, April 1, 1948 Lease No. 16953 Mr. C. V.

The Railway Company has no objections to the construction of a block building at the proposed location, providing, however, that it is understood that it is for an indefinite term only.
