If any amount of Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of Tenant, or Tenant shall fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other right or remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate the entire amount of said deposit and apply said entire amount or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Rent or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach or default on the part of Tenant. After application of all or part of said deposit as above provided, Tenant shall forthwith upon demand restore said deposit to the sum of $7,000.00. Should Tenant comply with all of the terms of this Lease and promptly pay all Rent as it comes due, said deposit shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interests under this Lease, to the extent permitted by this Lease), at the end of the Term. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, such amounts from the deposit may be appropriated and shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of all Rent due to Landlord for all periods prior to filing of such bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceeding. Such appropriation or use of the Security Deposit by Landlord shall not constitute an election of remedies or waiver of any remedy to which Landlord’s is legally entitled.

Tenant’s signage shall always conform to governmental restrictions, limitations, or prohibitions. Tenant is solely responsible to ensure its signage is in compliance with any restriction, limitation, or prohibition imposed by any governmental unit. Tenant shall modify its signage at its own expense when required to conform to such regulation. Tenant acknowledges that approval by Landlord of Tenant’s signage does not constitute any representation as to conformance with any existing or future governmental regulation. The sign shall be fabricated, installed, maintained and illuminated at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and the sign and installation thereof shall be in compliance with all governmental requirements, including building and electrical codes. Tenant shall not place any other signs on the exterior of the Building. Tenant shall not affix any sign to the roof of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from any acts or omission of Tenant’s sign contractors. Landlord reserves the right to place signs on the exterior of the Building provided such signs do not interfere with Tenant’s sign. If the Building has sign criteria which has been provided to Tenant prior to signing this Lease, Tenant shall cause any Tenant sign to be in compliance therewith. If Landlord enacts sign criteria after the Tenant has installed its signs, Tenant will comply so long as it is no expense to Tenant and permit’s Tenant’s standard sign package, if any.

Such subordination shall be automatic without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall execute such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such deeds of trust or mortgages as shall be requested by Landlord.

13.4 Remedies. Failure of Tenant to execute any statements or instruments necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section, within ten (10) days after written request so to do by Landlord, shall constitute a default. In the event of such failure, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such statements or instruments, which appointment shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

16.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or transfer this Lease or any interest herein, sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises, or permit the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant, without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Page 10
17. Surrender of Possession. All of Tenant’s installations or additions to the Leased Premises which cannot be removed without damage to the Leased Premises shall, at the option of Landlord, be deemed Landlord’s property; provided, however, that Landlord may elect prior to the termination of this Lease or within ten (10) days thereafter to require Tenant to remove any installation or addition and repair any damage to the Leased Premises at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall remove from the Leased Premises all of Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures and other personal property of every kind whatsoever not becoming Landlord’s property as hereinbefore specified, and in the event of Tenant’s failure to remove such property, all such property, and every interest of Tenant in the same, shall, at the option of Landlord, be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a xxxx of sale without compensation, allowance, or credit to Tenant. Tenant shall nonetheless be liable to Landlord for the cost of removal of all such property. Tenant shall, upon such termination of the Term or of Tenant’s right to possession, return to Landlord the Leased Premises and all equipment and fixtures comprising a part thereof in as good a condition as when Tenant took possession, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty for which Tenant is not legally responsible.
18. Holding Over. Any hold over and acceptance of rent by Landlord beyond the termination of this Lease shall be deemed to establish a month-to-month tenancy on the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as to duration, and except that the monthly rental shall be 150% of the monthly installment of Annual Rent payable for the last calendar month, or fraction thereof, preceding termination of this Lease.
19. Reserved Rights of Landlord. In addition to any other rights reserved by Landlord in this Lease, Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to change the name or address of the Building without notice or liability of Landlord to Tenant; (b) to enter the Leased Premises or any part thereof at all reasonable hours to make inspections, repairs, alterations or additions in or to the Leased Premises or the Building; to exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers or others provided Landlord gives Tenant a 2-hour notice on weekdays and 24-hour notice on weekends, except in a case of an emergency; to display during the last ninety (90) days of the Term without hindrance or molestation by Tenant “For Rent” and similar signs on windows or elsewhere in or on the Leased Premises; and to perform any acts related to the safety, protection, preservation, re-letting, sale or improvements of the Leased Premises or the Building; and (c) during the last ninety (90) days of the Term or any part thereof, if during or prior to that time Tenant vacates the Leased Premises, to enter and decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Leased Premises for re-occupancy. The exercise of any of these reserved rights by Landlord shall never be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Leased Premises and shall never render Landlord liable in any manner to Tenant or to any other person.
20. Damage by Casualty.
20.1 Damage. Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord of any damage caused to the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty. In the event the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under standard fire and extended coverage insurance and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its own cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Leased Premises to the extent of available insurance proceeds. In the event: (a) the Building in which the Leased Premises are located shall be destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by Landlord’s insurance; (b) the Building or the Leased Premises be destroyed or rendered untenantable to an extent in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the floor area; or (c) the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the Leased Premises at the time of the casualty elects, pursuant to such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien, to require the use of part of Landlord’s insurance proceeds to the satisfaction of all or part of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease or to proceed to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of such an election within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such casualty, and if it elects to rebuild and repair shall proceed to do so with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the damage not covered by Landlord’s insurance is caused by an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors or employees, Tenant shall repair such damage promptly at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
20.2 Obligation to Rebuild and Repair. Landlord’s obligation to rebuild and repair under this Section shall in any event be limited to restoring the Leased Premises to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to such casualty, exclusive of any alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant. Tenant agrees that promptly after completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant will proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s own cost and expense to restore, repair, and replace all alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures, trade equipment signs and equipment necessary for Tenant’s business.
20.3 Business Operation; Rent Abatement. During any period of reconstruction or repair of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall continue the operation of its business in the Leased Premises to the extent reasonably practicable. Annual Rent shall be abated or reduced proportionately during any period in which, by reason of such damage or destruction, there is a substantial interference with the operation of Tenant’s business; provided, however, that in the event of damage not covered by Landlord’s insurance and caused by an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors or employees, there shall be no abatement of Annual Rent during any such period.

21. Default and Remedies.
21.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease, except as to the conditions relating to the delivery or possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant.
21.2 Tenant’s Default. Tenant shall be deemed to be in default upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) Tenant fails to pay when due any amount of Rent and such failure is not cured within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord; or
(b) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant, condition, agreement or provision of this Lease (other than failure to pay Rent) and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant with such notice providing the default and remedy with specificity; provided, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such time period, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences to cure and cures such failure within a reasonable time;
(c) Tenant files a petition seeking any relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or admits the material allegations of any such petition by answer or otherwise, or is dissolved, or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing Tenant’s inability to pay debts as they become due; or
(d) Tenant is in material default more than two (2) times in any Lease Year and thereafter, upon a third default, Landlord shall have the right in its unrestricted discretion to cancel this Lease.
21.3 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon Tenant’s default, after the applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the following remedies:
(a) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant written notice of such termination.
(b) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as provided in subparagraph (a) hereof, Landlord may then or at any time thereafter, reenter the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, and expel or remove therefrom Tenant and any other persons occupying the same, using such force as may be necessary so to do, and again possess and enjoy the Leased Premises, without prejudice to any other remedies that Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default or of such termination.
(c) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, as provided in subparagraph (a) hereof, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by law and by this Lease. The amount of damages which Landlord may recover in the event of such termination shall include: (i) the worth at the time of award (computed by allowing interest at the rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law) of the unpaid rent and charges equivalent to rent earned as of the date of termination hereof; (ii) the worth at the time of the award (computed by allowing interest at the rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month or the maximum rate allowable by law) of the amount by which the unpaid rent and charges equivalent to rent which would have been earned after the date of termination hereof until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award (computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%)) of the amount by which the unpaid rent and charges equivalent to rent for the balance of the Term hereof after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (v) any other amount which Landlord may by law hereafter be permitted to recover from Tenant to compensate Landlord for the detriment caused by Tenant’s default. Landlord agrees to take all reasonable measures to mitigate its damages caused by termination.
(d) After terminating this Lease pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof, Landlord may, without any further demand or notice, remove any and all personal property located on the Leased Premises and place such property in a public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the risk and sole cost and expense of Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not immediately pay the cost of storage of such property after the same has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all thereof at a public or private sale in such a manner and at such times and places as Landlord acting reasonably may deem proper, without notice to or demand upon Tenant.
Page 12
(e) Landlord shall have the right to cause a receiver to be appointed in any action against Tenant to take possession of the Leased Premises and/or to collect the rents or profits derived therefrom. Said receiver may, if it is necessary or convenient in order to collect such rents or profits, conduct the business and may use the same in conducting such business on the Leased Premises. Neither the application for the appointment of such receiver nor the appointment of such receiver shall constitute an election on the part of the Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.
(f) Landlord may at Landlord’s election reenter the Leased Premises, and without terminating this Lease, at any time and from time to time relet the Leased Premises or any part or parts of them for the account and in the name of Tenant or otherwise. Any reletting may be for the remainder of the Term or for a longer or shorter period. Landlord may execute any leases made under this provision either in Landlord’s name or in Tenant’s name and shall be entitled to all rents from the use, operation, or occupancy of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord on the due dates specified in this Lease the equivalent of all sums required of Tenant under this Lease, plus Landlord’s expenses, less the avails of any reletting or attachment. No act by or on behalf of Landlord under this provision shall constitute a termination of this Lease unless Landlord gives Tenant notice of termination.
(g) If Landlord elects to reenter the Leased Premises without termination, as provided in subparagraph (f) hereof, Landlord may at Landlord’s election use Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures or any of such property and fixtures without liability for use or damage, or store them for the account and at the cost of Tenant. The election of one remedy for any one item shall not foreclose an election of any other remedy for another item or for the same item at a later time.
(h) In addition to the remedies for breach of this Lease described herein, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant any and all costs in connection with Tenant’s default hereunder, including without limitation, administrative costs of Landlord associated with Tenant’s default, costs of repairing and/or remodeling the Leased Premises for new tenants and leasing commissions for any leasing agent engaged to relet the Leased Premises.
(I) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord’s reentry to perform acts of maintenance of preservation of or in connection with efforts to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect Tenant’s interest under this Lease shall not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, and until Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Landlord may enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies hereunder including, without limitation, the right to recover from Tenant as ii becomes due hereunder all rent, additional rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant under the terms hereof. Any reletting by Landlord of the Leased Premises, or any part or parts of them, shall be for the account and in the name of Tenant or otherwise. Any reletting may be for the remainder of the Term or for a longer or shorter period. Landlord may execute any lease made under this provision either in Landlord’s name or in Tenant’s name and shall be entitled to all rents from the use, operation or occupancy of the Leased Premises to be applied toward any amounts due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder.
(j) Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect Landlord’s right to defense and indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease.
(k) In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease and to a decree compelling performance of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease and to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity.
21.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord with a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
21.5 No Election; No Waiver. The failure of Landlord to terminate this Lease at any time during Tenant’s default shall be deemed only an indulgence by Landlord for that particular default and shall not be construed to be a waiver of the rights of Landlord as to any further or subsequent default. No reentry or reletting of the Leased Premises shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given by Landlord to Tenant; and notwithstanding any such reletting without such termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease in the event that at such time Tenant remains in default hereunder. The failure of Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that Landlord may have and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
Page 13
21.6 Attorneys’ Fees. If at any time, including after expiration of the Term, either party is required to to enforce any of the provisions herein, the non-prevailing party in any allegation, suit or action, agrees, to pay all costs of the prevailing party in such action or actions, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees on any appeal. Notices shall be given to the addresses set forth in Section 24 (Notices) of this Lease. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section shall survive any termination of the Lease.
21.7 Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.
21.8 Remedies Cumulative. Either party may pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to ii under the laws or judicial decisions of Idaho. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all rights and remedies shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law or equity. Likewise, the exercise of any remedy provided for herein or allowed by law or equity shall not be to the exclusion of any other remedy.
21.9 Waiver of Counterclaims and Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive their right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use of or occupancy of said Leased Premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. Tenant shall not raise or make any counterclaim or counterclaims or claims for set-off, recoupment or deduction of rent in a summary proceeding for nonpayment of rent or other action or summary proceeding based on termination, holdover or other default in which Landlord seeks repossession of the Leased Premises from Tenant.
22. Bankruptcy.
22.1 Chapter 7. In the event Tenant becomes a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and Tenant or Tenant’s trustee elects to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of Sections 22.2, 22.3 and 22.5 are satisfied. If Tenant or Tenant’s trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such sixty (60) day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected. Immediately thereupon Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant’s trustee, and this Lease, upon the election of Landlord, shall terminate, but Landlord’s right to be compensated for damages in any such proceeding shall survive whether or not this Lease is terminated.
22.2 Chapter 11. In the event Tenant becomes a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code which is converted to Chapter 11, Tenant’s trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or transfer thereto, or Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession, shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. In the event that Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has failed to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within the time periods (excluding grace periods) required for such performance, no election by Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be permitted or effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(a) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured all defaults under the Lease or has provided Landlord with Assurance (as defined below) that it will cure all defaults susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption and that it will cure all other defaults under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act promptly after the date of such assumption.
(b) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated or has provided Landlord with Assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption it will compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession.
(c) Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with Assurance of the future performance of each of the obligations under this Lease of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession, and if Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided such Assurance, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent hereunder, an amount equal to six (6) monthly installment payments of the Annual Rent, which shall be applied to the last installments of Annual Rent that shall become due under this Lease, provided all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall have been complied with. The obligations imposed upon Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this paragraph shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.

(d) Such assumption will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Leased Premises. For purposes of this Section 23, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that “Assurance” shall mean no less than: Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and there shall have been deposited with Landlord, or the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or Tenant’s trustee or debtor-in-possession shall have been granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to cure the defaults under this Lease, monetary and/or nonmonetary, within the time periods set forth above.
22.3 Subsequent Petitions. In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with Section 23.2, and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or files or has filed against it a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all right of Tenant hereunder, by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of either of such events.
22.4 Adequate Assurance. If Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 23.1 or 23.2 for the purposes of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all cash proceeds of such assignment. As used herein, “adequate assurance of future performance” shall mean that no less than each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(a) The proposed assignee has furnished Landlord with either (i) a current financial statement audited by a certified public accountant indicating a net worth and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee of guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons with a net worth which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to secure the Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and information with respect to the proposed assignee’s management ability, expertise and experience in Tenant’s business and Landlord has reasonably determined that the proposed assignee has the management expertise and experience to operate the business conducted on the Leased Premises.
(b) Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from others required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit Landlord to consent to such assignment without violating the terms of any such agreements.
22.5 Use and Occupancy Charges. When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obliged to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Leased Premises, such charges shall not be less than the Annual Rent, Tenant’s pro rata share of all Operating Expenses, and such other amounts of Rent hereunder.
22.6 No Transfer In Bankruptcy Without Consent. Neither the whole nor any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or its estate in the Leased Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant unless Landlord shall have consented to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of installment payments of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Landlord nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent.
23. Condemnation.
23.1 If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, then the Term hereof shall cease as of the day of the vesting of title or as of the day possession shall be so taken, whichever is earlier.
23.2 If only a portion of the Leased Premises or the Building of which it is part shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, or if any or all of the buildings, parking facilities, Common Areas, or common or public facilities located within the Landlord Parcel are so taken, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this Lease, effective as of the day of the vesting of title or as of the day possession shall be so taken, whichever is earlier, upon giving written notice thereof to Tenant, but if Landlord does not elect to so terminate this Lease, it shall restore the Leased Premises to an architectural unit as nearly like its condition prior to such taking as shall be practicable; but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work, if any, to be done by Landlord in originally constructing the Leased Premises. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its election either to terminate or to rebuild not later than ninety (90) days after any such taking. If this Lease is not terminated, as hereinbefore provided, all of the terms hereof shall continue in effect, but the Annual Rent, or a fair and just proportion thereof, according to the nature and extent of the damage to the Leased Premises, shall be suspended or abated until Landlord’s work is completed and Tenant shall, upon the completion by Landlord of the restoration of the Leased Premises as aforesaid, do all work required of Tenant to occupy the Leased Premises including the restoration and replacement of all improvements, alterations, additions, fixtures, signs, trade equipment, furniture, furnishings and other installations necessary for Tenant’s business.
Page 15
23.3 All damages whatsoever awarded for such taking, whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any amounts specifically awarded to it for the taking of its trade furniture or fixtures.
23.4 If this Lease is so terminated, all Rent shall be prorated to the date of termination.

27.8 It is understood that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, agreements and understanding, whether verbal or reduced to writing, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. Tenant does not rely and has not relied upon any written or printed marketing materials, brochures, or representations prepared by or made by either Landlord or agent of Landlord, or any other person. All such representations or materials are superseded by this Lease.
27.9 Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building as Landlord, in the exercise of its sole business judgment, determines.

There are no other representations or warranties between the parties and all reliance with respect to representations is solely upon representations and agreements contained in this document.
27.10 The laws of the State of Idaho shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.

Tenant has not relied upon any representation of Landlord or its agents, other than any items contained in this Lease, as an inducement to enter into this Lease. No alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by each party.

27.14 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties herein shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
