1.01. Premises. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent and of the other terms, provisions and covenants hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, all that portion of certain real property and the improvements constructed thereon, together with all rights, easements (including that certain non-exclusive right to use that certain parcel of land described on Exhibit “C”) and appurtenances pertaining thereto (the “Premises”) situated with the County of Wayne, State of Michigan, described in Exhibit “A”, and commonly known as 21000 Hayden Drive, Woodhaven, Michigan. Landlord shall retain a non-exclusive, up to 70’ wide, roadway easement over the perimeter of the Premises for ingress and egress to the rail spur. Such easement location shall be mutually agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord agrees to pay for all costs, including but not limited to moving or adding any fencing, required to activate and maintain this easement, and all costs and expenses associated with rail spur. Landlord shall also assume responsibility for the maintenance of all perimeter landscaping and trees located adjacent to any easement. Landlord and Tenant will agree on a fair and equitable basis to either reduce the Rent, or Landlord will transfer to Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost, a like amount of property with similar improvements adjacent to the Premises to replace the property that was taken for the easement.
1.02 Approvals. Tenant shall seek, at its sole cost and expense, using reasonable efforts, to obtain all Approvals on or before November 30, 2001. “Approvals” shall mean the valid and irrevocable grant, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Tenant in its sole discretion, of all necessary permits, licenses, variances, and approvals that are necessary to permit Tenant to operate its Business (as hereinafter defined), all of which shall be without qualification, except such qualification as shall be acceptable to Tenant and shall be no longer subject to appeal (collectively, the “Approvals”). “Business of Tenant” shall mean the storage, sale, auction, and transport of used and salvage vehicles. Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant to obtain such Approvals. Landlord hereby authorizes Tenant to seek and apply for all Approvals in Landlord’s name and on Landlord’s behalf. Tenant shall deliver copies of all applications for Approvals to Landlord and other correspondence regarding Approvals upon request.
1.03 Premises’ Condition. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the date of commencement of the term of this lease, which shall be a date agreed upon by the parties, but in no event later than November 30, 2001 (the “Commencement Date”), the Premises shall be in good repair and condition. Landlord warrants that as of the Commencement Date, the Premises are in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including municipal codes, building codes, and ADA requirements. In addition, Tenant at its own expense no later than fifteen (15) days after receiving all Approvals, shall conduct such investigations as it deems necessary to determine that the Premises are in good operating and working condition. In the event Tenant objects to any property condition, it shall notify in writing the Existing Tenant (defined below) and Landlord as to its objections. Landlord shall cause Existing Tenant to remedy any objectionable conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of the Tenant. Landlord shall also cause Existing Tenant to remove its property from the Premises, janitorial clean the office and shop buildings, power wash the floor, perform any necessary repairs to the buildings, including patching any roof leaks, repairing any problems with electrical and plumbing systems, repairing any damaged walls, and repairing or patching the parking lots upon its vacation of the Premises. Attached to this Lease Agreement as Exhibit “B” is a copy of the E&L Transport Company, LLC (“Existing Tenant”) and Landlord lease amendment on the Premises which reflects E & L Transport Company’s obligation to vacate, clean, and repair the Premises. Landlord guarantees the performance of E & L Transport’s obligations regarding the cleaning and repair of the Premises as set forth in Exhibit “B” and this Section 1.03. Landlord guarantees that the HVAC systems located on the Premises shall be in good working condition for the first 90 days of the first heating and air-

conditioning seasons. Landlord guarantees that all roofs located upon the Premises shall be in good repair and free of leaks for the first 12 months of the Lease. Landlord shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred to satisfy requirements of the City of Woodhaven regarding looping the water main, installation of back flow devices, and repair or replacement of fire hydrants, as referenced in the August 7, 2001 letter to the Woodhaven Planning Commission, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “E”.

Following the execution of this lease but prior to the Commencement Date, the parties may attach additional Exhibits consisting of photographs or videos of the Premises’ parking areas that the parties deem useful in depicting the condition of the parking areas as of the Commencement Date.
1.04 Environmental Matters. Existing Tenant shall deliver to Tenant the existing environmental reports concerning the Premises and Existing Tenant updated Phase I environmental site assessment. In the event Existing Tenant conducts any further environmental studies, copies of such studies will be promptly provided to Tenant. Landlord represents that the Premises comply in all material respects with Environmental Requirements (as defined in Section 16.04) and that no action, proceeding, or claim is pending or threatened involving the Premises concerning any Hazardous Material (as defined in Section 16.04). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises or duty to comply with all laws be deemed an acceptance of Hazardous Material in, on, or about the Premises or the soil, surface water, or groundwater thereof, or acceptance of any responsibility or liability for such Hazardous Materials, except where such Hazardous Material is caused to exist by Tenant or its employees or agents after the Commencement Date.
1.05 Lease Termination. In the event Tenant does not obtain the Approvals or is not satisfied, in its sole discretion, as to the Premises’ condition or environmental matters by November 30, 2001, then thereafter, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, after which this Lease shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. If Tenant does not terminate the lease as set forth above by November 30, 2001, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant of its failure to terminate, and Tenant’s time to terminate the lease shall continue until (ten) 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Following the expiration of Tenant’s additional ten (10) days to terminate the lease without a ratification or termination of the lease by Tenant, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, after which this Lease shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
1.06 Existing Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Existing Tenant currently holds a leasehold interest and first right of refusal in the Premises pursuant to a lease agreement dated June 1, 2000 (the “Leasehold”). The lease agreement for the existing Leasehold is due to expire on May 31, 2005, with two (2) successive five (5) year options for Existing Tenant to extend the Leasehold. Pursuant to an amendment to the June 1, 2000 leasehold, Existing Tenant has agreed to vacate the Premises prior to October 1, 2001, remove all of its personal properties from the Premises, and terminate its lease and first right of refusal with respect to the premises described in Exhibit “A”. Existing Tenant will continue to lease an approximate 10-acre parcel of Woodhaven property described in Exhibit “D”. In the event Landlord does not deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant by November 30, 2001, Tenant may seek specific performance against Landlord, or may terminate this lease after which this lease shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. In the event this lease terminates due to Landlord’s failure to deliver exclusive possession to Tenant, Landlord shall, in addition to Tenant’s Security Deposit, promptly reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in pursuing Approvals and investigating the Premises’ condition and environmental matters. “Exclusive possession” shall mean vacant, broom-clean with no rights or claims of possession by any party except Tenant.
1.07 Underground Storage Tanks. Landlord shall, at its sole cost, deactivate all underground storage tanks (“UST’s”) located on the Premises, and remove from the Premises all above-ground equipment and accessories associated with the UST’s such that the UST’s will not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall have no obligations, financial or otherwise, associated with the care, maintenance, or condition of the UST’s and their related equipment and accessories.

Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from retention of possession by Tenant, including the loss of any proposed subsequent tenant for any portion of the Premises, so long as Landlord provides prior written notice to Tenant of the possibility or likelihood of such damages. The provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry as herein set forth; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this Lease for a breach of any of the terms, covenants, or obligations herein on Tenant’s part to be performed.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default described in Section 13.01 hereof or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever.
9
(i) Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, without terminating Lease;
(ii) Upon any termination of this Lease or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises in such event with or without process of law and to repossess Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, Tenant hereby waiving and right to claim damage for such re-entry and expulsion, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law,
(iii) Upon any termination of this Lease Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus the sum of an amount equal to the then present value of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the residue of the Term, less any sums received by Landlord for reletting the Premises.
(iv) Upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession only without termination of the Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidence of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as provided in subsection (ii) above, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent including any amounts treated as additional rent, hereunder for the full Term. In any such case Tenant shall pay forthwith to Landlord if Landlord so elects, a sum equal to the present value of the entire amount of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, for the residue of the stated Term plus any other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term. Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting, less the Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including attorney’s fees and brokers commissions), shall offset rent to be paid by the Tenant.
(v) Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the Premises, with or without process of law, if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that Tenant is not acting within a commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which Tenant is responsible hereunder and correct the same, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, on demand, as additional rent, for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus affecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;
(c) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damage occurring to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions or covenants herein contained. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord or any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions or covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of rental payments or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing, Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default. If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant in Tenant’s obligations under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with an attorney
10
concerning, or to enforce or defend, any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay any attorney’s fees so incurred.
(d) Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages due to any default by Tenant.
ARTICLE 14:
SUBORDINATION, ESTOPPEL, AND LIENS
14.01 Subordination. (a) As of the Effective Date of this Lease, the Premises are not encumbered by a mortgage. However, Landlord reserves the right to grant a mortgage or mortgages on Landlord’s interest therein and this Lease. Tenant shall, upon the written request of Landlord, subordinate this Lease to the lien of any mortgage upon the Premises, provided that the holder of any such mortgage (“Mortgagee”) shall enter into a written agreement which shall, among other things, provide that:
(i) In the event of foreclosure or other action taken under the mortgage by Mortgagee, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall not be disturbed or diminished, but shall continue in full force and effect so long as Tenant complies with the terms hereof;
(ii) In no event shall any term or provision of this Lease be altered; and
(iii) In all events, the right to purchase referenced in Article 17 shall survive any foreclosure of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property.
Such agreement shall be substantially in the form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. As used herein, mortgage shall include mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or other similar instruments, and any modifications or extensions of same.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 17, should Landlord sell, convey or transfer its interest in the Premises or should any Mortgagee of Landlord succeed to Landlord’s interest through foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, then Tenant shall attorn to such succeeding party as its Landlord under this Lease promptly upon any such succession, provided that such succeeding party assumes all of Landlord’s duties and obligations under this Lease and agrees not to disturb Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder in accordance with this Article 14 as long as Tenant is not in material default beyond any cure period hereunder.
14.02 Estoppel. Within twenty (20) days after the request by either party, the other party agrees to deliver to the requesting party and to any potential mortgagee, assignee or purchaser of the requesting party’s interest in the Property an estoppel certificate, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, whether same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications), that, to the certifying party or, to the reasonable knowledge and belief, there are no defenses or offsets thereto (or stating those claimed by the certifying party), that there are no defaults by the certifying party or, to the reasonable knowledge and belief of the certifying party, on the part of the requesting party (or, if such defaults exist, stating their nature); provided, however, that no such estoppel certificate shall be deemed to amend or modify this Lease.
14.03 Liens. Tenant shall have no authority to create or place a leasehold mortgage upon the Premises. Tenant shall not in any manner bind the interest of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each such claim shall effect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises on which any lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its leasehold interest in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the Leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Premises or under the terms of this Lease. Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens or any other liens which may be imposed by law affecting Landlord’s or it mortgagee’s interest in the Premises to be placed upon the Premises, and in case of the filing of any such lien Tenant
11
will promptly pay or bond over same. If any such lien shall remain in force and effect for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, Landlord shall have the right and privilege at Landlord’s option of paying and discharging the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional indebtedness hereunder due from Tenant to Landlord and shall be repaid to Landlord immediately on rendition of a bill thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest any such lien in good faith and with all due diligence so long as any such contest, or action taken in connection therewith, protects the interest of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee in the Premises and Landlord any such mortgagee are, by the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, furnished such protection and indemnification against any loss, cost or expense related to any such lien and the contest thereof as are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and any such mortgagee. Landlord hereby waives any contractual, statutory or other Landlord’s lien on Tenant’s furniture, wares, supplies, equipment, inventory and Tenant’s other property.

9/14/01 REVISION
AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between Donald C. Hayden, as Trustee of the Donald C. Hayden Revocable Living Trust dated 10/8/71, as amended (“Landlord”), and E. and L. Transport Company L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company (“Tenant”) dated as of this 14th day of Sept, 2001.
RECITAL
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant currently holds a leasehold interest and first right of refusal in the property described in Exhibit A (the “Original Premises”) pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated June 1, 2000 (the “Lease”). The Lease is due to expire on May 31, 2005, with two successive five year options to extend the Lease. Tenant has agreed to vacate the Copart Premises (as defined herein) before October 1, 2001, and remove all of its personal property from the Copart Premises. Tenant will continue to lease and have exclusive possession of an approximate 10 acre parcel on the Woodhaven property described in Exhibit B (the “E. and L. Premises”), “Exclusive Possession” shall mean vacant with no rights or claims of possession by any party except Tenant. Tenant shall also have a non exclusive easement to utilize the area described in Exhibit C as a means of ingress and egress (the “Non-Exclusive Ingress and Egress Easement”).
Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease Amendment Landlord is entering into a Lease Agreement with Copart Inc. (the “Copart Lease”), providing for the Exclusive Possession and leasing of a portion of the premises formerly leased by Tenant. The parcel of property leased to Copart is described in Exhibit D (the “Copart Premises”). Copart also has a non exclusive easement to utilize the area described in Exhibit C as a means of ingress and egress. The Copart Lease requires Copart to maintain and clear the easement roadway of snow. It is anticipated that Tenant’s use of the non-exclusive ingress and egress easement will be insignificant compared to Copart’s use. In the event the Tenant's usage becomes significant in relationship to Copart’s usage, then Tenant agrees to contribute to the maintenance and snow clearing on a reasonable and fair basis with Copart.
NOW THEREFORE, the Landlord and Tenant agrees as follows:
1. The recitals and prefatory phrases set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Lease Amendment in their entirety by this reference as is fully set forth herein.
2. Section 1.01 of the Lease is amended by deleting the existing property descriptions set forth therein and replacing said descriptions with the legal descriptions set forth in Exhibit B and Exhibit C. All references to the “Premises” in the Lease shall hereinafter be deemed to be references to the “E. and L. Premises” and the “Non-Exclusive Ingress and Egress Easement”. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that as of the date Copart takes possession of the Copart Premises pursuant to the Copart Lease (the “Lease
1
Commencement Date”), Tenant shall have no responsibility, obligation or liabilities relating to the Copart Premises.
In addition the following paragraph shall be added to Section 1.01. Tenant will vacate the Copart Premises before October 1, 2001. Tenant will remove all of its personal property from the Copart Premises, clean the office and shop buildings, and power wash the shop floor, all to the extent required under the Lease. Tenant will perform any necessary repairs to the buildings, including patching any roof leaks, fixing any problems with the electrical and plumbing systems, and fixing any damaged walls, all to the extent required under the Lease.

(d) Tenant’s obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes hereunder shall be limited to its pro-rata share of the tax statement for the parcel in which the E. and L. Premises are located, currently the property which has a property identification number of 59 075 99 0001 000 (the “Total Tax Parcel”). Tenant’s pro-rata share will be calculated as follows: (a) if the property included in the Total Tax Parcel other than the E. and L. Premises remains unimproved, then Tenant’s pro-rata share shall be 9.03% (10.01 acres/110.9 acres), or (b) if any portion of the property included in the Total Tax Parcel is improved, Tenant’s pro-rata share shall be 9.03% of only the land value of the Total Tax Parcel. In the event that the E. and L.

Tenant reaffirms its obligations to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord under Section 16.02 of the Lease to the extent that such obligations relate to Tenant’s occupancy of the Original Premises from June 1, 2000 until the Lease Commencement Date (“Section 16.02 Obligations”). Landlord hereby waives and releases Tenant from and agrees to indemnify Tenant from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, obligations, liabilities, costs or expenses associated with environmental, health and safety matters other than the Section 16.02 Obligations.
10. This Lease Amendment shall be effective and operational if and only if the Copart Lease becomes effective on the Lease Commencement Date. In the event the Copart Lease does not become effective by December 15, 2001, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Amendment and market the property to other assignees or subtenants.

Re: Proposed Coparts Auto Auction Site
Site Plan Application # SP 01-10
Special Use Application # SU 01-06
I have reviewed the above referenced applications and have the following comments:
There are no new utilities planned according to the plan submitted by the applicant, however, there are some issues with the existing utilities the applicant should be made aware of:
The existing watermain through the site is an unlooped watermain which exceeds the city’s current requirement for unlooped watermains by a considerable distance. The proponent should verify that adequate water is available for their operations and fire protection needs. If not, the proponent may have to install additional watermain to complete the loop.
The Water & Sewer Department will require proper back flow devices, in accordance with current State laws and City ordinances.
There are some on-site fine hydrants which need some work on them. The Water & Sewer Department can be contacted for further information.
Also, the applicant should be made aware that a large portion of the site is a flood plain. The flood plain should be shown on the site plan. An MDEQ permit is required for occupation of or work within a flood plain.
If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

RE: Pavement condition at E & L site, Woodhaven, MT
Gentlemen,
In response to your request I participated in a walk through at the above referenced site on August 29, 2001 in order to determine the present condition of the asphalt pavement. Upon visual inspection I observed a large amount of structural cracks anywhere from 1/4” to 3/4” in width which can easily be repaired with hot rubber joint sealing. There are various areas throughout the property which are alligatored and delaminated due to normal wear and tear and can be repaired either through surface patching or removal and replacement. Most of the pavement is 15 to 20 years old and will need to be restored in the next several years. Asphalt thickness is generally 3” average, there is a heavy duty area that was paved around 1989 or 1990 which was cement stabilized and paved with 6” asphalt and is in excellent condition showing only the structural cracking previously mentioned. The property has a high water table, which is the main cause of the existing pavement damage, but there are large underground storm lines and drain tile present to help minimize the potential damage from water infiltration. Water damage appears to be more prevalent at the southwest end of the property. Generally speaking the pavement is in mostly good condition with a few isolated areas. The design thickness in the standard duty areas was intended only for parking cars and will most likely deteriorate at a faster than normal rate if it is being used by heavy equipment on a daily basis. I trust this report answers any questions you may have. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
Respectfully,
Dave Coppola – Al’s Asphalt Paving
