ARTICLE 28
SUBORDINATION OF LEASE
28.1 The rights of Tenant under this Lease shall be and are subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any deeds of trust, mortgage, or mortgages now or hereafter encumbering the Premises, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof. This Article is self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination Tenant shall promptly execute such further instruments as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant, at the option of any mortgagee, agrees to attorn to such mortgagee in the event of a foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof.
ARTICLE 29
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
29.1 Tenant hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of Landlord, in addition to any other representations and warranties made in this Lease, with the knowledge and expectation of Landlord's reliance thereon, as follows:
A. Tenant is a duly formed and validly existing limited liability company and is in good standing in Nevada, and has the full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform under this Lease.
B. The execution and delivery of this Lease, the consummation of the transactions provided for herein and the fulfillment of the terms hereof on the part of Tenant will not result in a breach of any instrument to which Tenant is a party or by which Tenant is bound or of any judgment, decree or order of any court or governmental body or any law, rule or regulation applicable to Tenant.
C. The execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and the taking of all other lawful actions necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, by the persons executing, delivering and performing the same on behalf of Tenant, have been duly and validly authorized (and by their execution hereof or of any document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder such persons individually represent and warrant that they are so authorized), and this Lease and the other instruments contemplated hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Tenant, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
D. Tenant has obtained or shall promptly obtain hereafter any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental authority or private party that is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease by Tenant.
E. Tenant has obtained or shall promptly obtain hereafter any and all Governmental Authorizations that are required to be obtained by Tenant by all applicable Legal Requirements.

ARTICLE 30
SECURITY DEPOSIT
30.1. Simultaneous with the execution hereof, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of Two Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2000.00), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, (subject to collection, however, if made by check), as a "Security Deposit" as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's other funds. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without obligation or liability for payment of income from or interest on the same. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of any Rent or other charges, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount herein stated. Tenant's failure to replenish the Security Deposit shall be a material breach of this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or so much of it as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned to Tenant at the expiration of the Term of this Lease. The making by Tenant of such Security Deposit, or the application thereof by Landlord in the manner provided herein, shall not constitute nor be construed as a limitation upon the exercise of Landlord of any other rights or remedies provided to Landlord under the terms of this Lease in the event of Tenant's default. In the event Landlord sells the Entire Parcel or the Premises, then Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the purchaser of Landlord's interest without liability to Tenant, and upon such assignment, Landlord shall be discharged from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the Commencement Date first written above.
