W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Lessee hereto does hereby lease real property described as follows:

LOCATED in the First Civil District of Loudon County in the Sugarlimb Industrial Park adjacent to the present premises owned by Malibu Boats, and being more particularly described as follows:

Areas #2 and #3 as shown on a survey entitled “New Mold & Dry Storage Facility” (Malibu Boats), prepared by C2RL, Inc. Engineers dated July 12, 2004 (Job No. 5202), as prepared by Christopher J. Soro, TRLS #17672, a copy of which map is attached to this lease agreement as Exhibit 1, and incorporated within this agreement. Also included herein is Area #1, but conditioned, however, as provided herein.

WHEREAS, Lessee is in great need of expansion, and the area in which it may expand is limited, with Lessors desiring to accommodate Lessee to the extent possible, but being limited by a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) flowage easement and archaeological resources related to the site; and

WHEREAS, a Warranty Deed, Lease, and Easement Agreement providing for the expansion, and related documents, are being executed contemporaneously, accomplishing arrangements and setting forth the terms and conditions of the overall agreement; and

1

WHEREAS, on the aforementioned survey, there are areas indicated as Area #2, Area #3, Area #4 (already under a separate agreement), and Area #1, provisions and conditions for which are included in this lease agreement; and

WHEREAS, Area #2 is an area over which Lessee, by previous arrangements has taken possession and control, and has paved and fenced it, with it being subject to and a part of the TVA Flowage Easement (the said Area #2 being south of and contiguous with what is designated as Area #4, and being fenced and located on an elevated area down behind Lessee’s real property (the said Area #4 being a recently paved driveway being further described as connecting from Kimberly Way westwardly to the boat launching ramp on the Tennessee River, which driveway is for the purpose of launching boats for testing purposes, etc.; and

WHEREAS, Area #2 also is a paved strip connecting to the Area #4 paved driveway, said Area #2 has an approximate 100 foot “mouth” at its connection to the Area #4 driveway, with the entrance driveway “narrowing” from the mouth and averaging 75-100 feet in depth, and with the Area #4 itself being a strip of “storage” area with a general average width of approximately 175 feet and extending in a generally southerly direction (slight dogleg left) approximately 545 feet to the terminus of the “cul-de-sac”; and

WHEREAS, Area #3 is a rectangular parcel presently in a vegetative state, contiguous (to Area #2) in the flood zone bordering on Watts Bar lake, which joins with and is contiguous with Area #2, the said Area #3 extending contiguous to the west boundary of Area #2 an average of approximately 305 feet deep along the Tennessee River, and being an average of approximately 160 feet wide; and

WHEREAS, Areas #2 and #3 comprise the “premises” for this lease; and

2

WHEREAS, Area #1 is an area planned to be a recreational soccer field for the City of Loudon, located between the access easement (Area #4) on the south and the property of Kimberly-Clark on the north, the said area having dimensions of approximately 380 feet in length and approximately 230 feet in width.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Duration: The term and duration of this lease shall be for a time period commencing on the 1st day of November, 2005, and continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years, with automatic one (1) year renewals thereafter, unless sooner terminated, in accordance with the lease. Either party may give notice of termination of the lease for any reason one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of any term.

2. Rent: The Lessee shall pay and the Lessors shall accept for rental of the Premises the sum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00), payable annually, in advance. Rental payment shall be waived during the duration of the lease upon completion of activities relating to the construction of a soccer field and improvements noted in item #3 below by Lessee.

3. Use: Lessee agrees that Areas #1 and #2, which are subject to the TVA flowage easement, shall be used for the open storage of company products. Lessee is strictly prohibited from locating permanent or temporary structures on the property, and is further prohibited from grading or disturbing the terrain other than for general maintenance purposes, unless previously approved by Lessors and TVA.

Area #1 is planned as a soccer field which will continue to be owned by Lessors, but which is to be constructed by Lessee in accordance with the plans and specifications shown on Exhibit 1 herein, which shall include a concessions building, including bathrooms and storage areas (again, which are included on the aforesaid plans for Area #1). The use of the property for

3

a soccer field is conditioned and subject to agreement being obtained from the Tennessee Valley Authority. If approved by TVA, the field is to be constructed by Lessee within one (1) year from the time of notice from Lessors that TVA approval has been rendered, with the entire project to be completed within three (3) years, in phases by Lessee as necessary.

In this regard, a Phase 1 archaeological study is to be prepared by Lessors, and if a decision is made by TVA that a Phase II study is required, then Lessors, at their option, may abandon this project as being too expensive. If Lessors fail to obtain authorization to construct said recreational facility, Lessors’ responsibility under this Lease pertaining to construction of the soccer field is terminated. However, if final approval is obtained from TVA, then upon notice to Lessee, construction is to be started within a reasonable time, and primary construction of the field is to be completed within one (1) year.

4. Condition: Lessee acknowledges that it has fully inspected said premises prior to the execution of this lease and accepts same in their present state of repair and condition.

5. Maintenance and Repairs: All maintenance and repairs needed in or on the premises during the term of this lease or the renewal term shall be the obligation of the Lessee.

6. Assignment or Subletting: Lessee will not assign this lease or sublet the premises, in whole or in part, without first obtaining the written consent of Lessors, and providing further, in the event of assignment or subletting, Lessee shall not thereby be relieved of its obligations as contained herein.

7. Taxes, Maintenance, Repair and Replacements: Lessee, at no expense to Lessors, will keep the premises in good order and condition and shall promptly make all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen. Lessee will not do or permit any act or thing which might materially impair the condition of the

4

premises or any part thereof, or commit or permit any waste on the premises or any part thereof. Lessee shall also pay and be responsible for all charges and assessments and any other governmental public utility charges that may or could be assessed or charged against the premises during the term of this lease. Lessee hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance, renovation, and management of the premises. This paragraph is subject to any contrary provisions that may be contained in this agreement.

8. Insurance: Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain throughout the term of this lease, public liability insurance covering the premises, with limits of liability not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for one person and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for two or more persons in any one accident or occurrence for bodily injury or death and not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for property damage. Property insurance policies shall include the Lessors as loss payees with the Lessee as their interests may appear, and the liability policy shall include the Lessors as additional insureds with the Lessee. Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessors duplicate originals of all such insurance policies maintained on a current basis during the term of the lease.

9. Indemnification: Lessee covenants and agrees with the Lessors that during the entire term of this Lease, the Lessee will indemnify and save harmless the Lessors against any and all claims, debts, demands or obligations which may be made against it, or against its title in the premises, notwithstanding that joint or concurrent liability may be imposed upon it by statute, ordinance or any governmental enactment of authority, arising by reason of the use of the premises, (notwithstanding that joint or concurrent liability may be imposed upon it by statute, ordinance or any governmental enactment of authority, arising by reason of the use of the premises) with the Lessee’s permission, including the Lessee’s employees, invitees, licensees,

5

agents and customers, occurring in or in connection with the premises; and if it becomes necessary for the Lessors to defend any action seeking to impose such liability, the Lessee will pay all costs of court and attorney’s fees reasonably incurred by Lessors in effecting such defense, in addition to any other sums which Lessors may be called upon to pay by reason of the entry of a judgment against the Lessors in the litigation in which such claim is asserted. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Lessee to incur any debt or obligations binding on the Lessors or Lessors’ title or estate to the premises.

10. Default: If the rent payable to Lessors herein, or any part thereof, shall at any time be in arrears or unpaid for more than thirty (30) days, or if the Lessee shall fail to keep and perform any of the covenants, agreements or conditions of this lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed, and shall fail to promptly begin and expeditiously proceed to correct such failure for thirty (30) days after notice of such default has been given to Lessee by Lessors in writing, it shall be lawful for Lessors to again enter the premises and have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this lease had not been made, and thereupon all rights of Lessee under this lease shall cease and be void, without prejudice, however, to the right of Lessors to recover from Lessee all rent and/or damage occasioned and due up to the time of such repossession and thereafter during the remainder of the term of this lease. Lessors shall have the option but not the obligation to relet the premises.

11. Covenants of Lessors: Lessors represent and covenant that they have the full right and authority to execute this lease for the term thereof and upon the conditions herein stated, and that for so long as Lessee keeps and performs all of its obligations to be performed, it shall have quiet, peaceful, undisturbed and continuous possession of the premises for the term of this lease. This covenant of Lessors shall not extend to any interruption of Lessee’s possession

6

or use occasioned by the failure of Lessee to comply with the provisions of any law, ordinance, regulation or regulations of any governmental authority or authorities having jurisdiction over the premises or Lessee’s use thereof.

12. Right of Entry: Lessors or their duly authorized representatives shall have the right to enter upon the premises at all reasonable times to examine the condition and use thereof, provided that such right shall be exercised so as not to interfere with the Lessee and the conduct of the Lessee’s business on the premises.

13. Amendments: This lease may not be amended, modified, altered or changed in any respect whatsoever, except by a further agreement in writing duly executed by the parties hereto.

14. Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the practice and the same may not be amended or modified orally. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties are merged in this Agreement which alone fully and completely expresses their understandings, provided that, should any single provision or provisions of the agreement be declared invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be impaired.

15. Bankruptcy: It is agreed and understood that an adjudication by a Court of Bankruptcy that Lessee is bankruptcy or an adjudication by a Court of Equity that Lessee is insolvent, resulting in the appointment of a permanent receiver for Lessee’s business, shall be deemed a breach of this lease, and thereupon Ipso facto and without entry or other action by Lessors, this lease shall become and be terminated and notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease, Lessors shall forthwith upon such termination be entitled to recover damages for such breach in an amount equal to the amount of rent reserved under this Lease for the residue of said term.

7

16. After Expiration of Lease: Should Lessee continue to occupy said premises after the expiration of the term or renewal term of this lease, such tenancy shall be at the will and pleasure of Lessors only and not a tenancy from term to term or from year to year.

17. Notices: Whenever either party desires to give notice to the other, including change of address, it shall be considered as legally given if sent by registered or certified mail in the case of Lessors to:
