FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This First Amendment to Lease ("Amendment") is made as of the 10th day
of December, 1996 between Ogden Business Park, a Washington Joint Venture
("Lessor"), and Bow-Flex of America, Inc. ("Lessee").
RECITALS
A. Lessor (successor-in-interest to Christensen Group, Inc.) and Lessee
executed that certain Lease Agreement September 16, 1992, with the term
beginning May 1, 1992 (the "Lease"), with respect to certain premises located in
the OGDEN BUSINESS PARK, in the City of Vancouver, Clark County, Washington
which are more particularly described in the Lease (the "Premises").
B. Lessee has asked Lessor to extend the term of the Lease, provide for an
additional lease extension option, and consent to Lessee making certain
alterations to the Premises at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessor is willing
to grant such requests, provided that the parties make certain other amendments
to the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants contained herein,
the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. DEFINITIONS. Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as
provided therefor in the Lease unless otherwise expressly provided herein or
unless the context otherwise requires.
2. AMENDMENTS TO LEASE. The Lease is hereby amended in the following
respects only:
2.1 LEASE TERM. The first sentence of Section 1.4 of the Lease is
hereby deleted and the following is substituted therefor:
The term of this Lease shall commence on May 1, 1992 and end on
April 30, 2002 unless earlier terminated hereunder.
2.2 OPTION TO EXTEND. Sections 1.5 and 1.6 are hereby added to the Lease
following Section 1.4 as follows:
SECTION 1.5. OPTION TO EXTEND. Lessee shall have the option to
extend the Lease term for five (5) additional years, beginning May 1,
2002 and ending on April 30, 2007 (the "Option Period"), provided
Lessee (a) notifies Lessor in writing of its intention to exercise its
option to extend no later than October 31, 2001 and (b) Lessee is not
then in default, has not been in material default during the Lease
term, nor is in default at the commencement of the Option Period, under
the terms of the Lease.
SECTION 1.6. OPTION PERIOD TERMS. The same terms and conditions of
this Lease applicable to the initial Lease term shall be applicable in
the Option Period, except that at the commencement of the Option
Period, the monthly rent will be the greater of (i) the adjusted
monthly rental rate in effect as of September 1, 2001 or (ii) the
monthly "fair market" rental rate for the Premises as determined in
Lessor's sole discretion ("May 2002 Rent") and thereafter such rent
will be adjusted on September 1 of each year as set forth in Section
2.2 of the Lease. In no event shall the rent, as subsequently adjusted,
be less than the May 2002 Rent, and for purposes of such adjustments,
the reference in the second paragraph of Section 2.2 to "the sum set
forth in Paragraph 2 hereof" is hereby amended to reference "the May
2002 Rent." At Tenant's written request at any time after August 31,
2001, Lessor will notify Lessee of the monthly "fair market" rental
rate that it has determined will apply to the Premises as of May 1,
2002.
2.3 RENT ADJUSTMENT. The parties hereby clarify the intended
meaning of the first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 2.2 by
amending it to read as follows:

each month during the next adjustment interval shall bear the same
relationship to the sum set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof as the Consumer
Price Index, U.S. City Average, of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. Index Of All Items for All Urban Consumers -
1982-84 equals 100) (sometimes referred to herein as the "Index") as of
the date of the adjustment bears to the Index as of
the base date. For all adjustments prior to September 1, 1997, the base
year or base date shall be May 1, 1992, for adjustments on September 1,
1997 through September 1, 2001, the base year or base date shall be May
1, 1997, and for adjustments during the Option Period, the base year or
base date shall be May 1, 2002.
2.4 RENT BEGINNING MAY 1, 1997. Effective May 1, 1997, the first
sentence of Section 2.1 is hereby amended to read as follows:
During the term hereof, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, without
deduction or offset by Lessee, rent for the Premises in the sum of
Four Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-One Dollars ($4,991.00) per month.
2.5 COMMON AREA EXPENSES. Effective May 1, 1997, the last sentence in
Section 2.1 and the phrase "including common area charges" in the
fourth sentence of Section 2.2 are hereby deleted.
2.6 ALTERATIONS BY LESSEE. Subject to the requirements of Section
3.6 of the Lease, Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, may remodel
and/or expand the office area of the Premises ("Office Expansion
Improvements"). Prior to commencement of any work relating to the Office
Expansion Improvements, Lessee must obtain Lessor's written approval of
plans, specifications, and elevations, as applicable. Lessor agrees not to
charge an office rental surcharge for such Office Expansion Improvements.
Notwithstanding language to the contrary in Section 3.6 of the Lease, at the
end of the Lease term, in Lessor's sole discretion, Lessor may require Lessee
to remove any or all of the Office Expansion Improvements and restore the
Premises to their condition prior to installation of the Office Expansion
Improvements, all at Lessee's sole cost and expense.
3. NO OTHER CHANGES. All other provisions, terms and conditions of
the Lease, except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, shall remain
unmodified and shall otherwise continue in full force and effect as written.
4. EFFECTIVE DATE. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein,
the provisions of this Amendment are effective on the date set forth above.
