4.4 ALLOCATION OF ELECTRICAL COSTS.
Landlord shall be solely responsible for and shall promptly pay all

All Additional Rent invoices shall include complete copies of all
invoices, statements and documents supporting the Electrical Costs being billed,

Rent in full within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Backup Invoices.
Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse the Landlord for such invoice that
Tenant does not receive with Backup Invoices within one hundred fifty (150) days
after the date the expense relating to such Electrical Cost was paid.
4.6 CALCULATION OF TENANT'S PRO RATA SHARE.
It is the intent of the parties that Tenant's "Pro Rata Share" of the
Electrical Costs shall be determined to the extent reasonably and economically
feasible based upon metering data provided by meter(s) to be installed by
Landlord. If such meters cannot be reasonably installed to provide all of the
necessary allocation data or if such meter(s) cannot be installed for a period
of time after the Commencement Date, the parties will work together in good
faith to agree to an allocation method to complete the allocation required
hereunder. If the parties cannot agree on an allocation method, the parties will
revert to the allocation method used prior to Landlord's acquisition of the
Premises.
4.7 INSPECTION OF RECORDS.
Tenant may, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to
the Landlord, inspect the Landlord's records for all Electrical Costs incurred
during the preceding calendar year at the Landlord's general offices or at such
other location reasonably designated by the Landlord at any time during
reasonable business hours within one (1) year after the end of said calendar
year. If said inspection reveals an overpayment of Electrical Costs, the
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant any such overpayment within thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice of determination, and of the amount, of such
overpayment. If said inspection reveals that the Landlord misstated Electrical
Costs (singularly or collectively) by more than five percent (5%), the Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for all costs reasonably incurred in making such
inspection within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of determination, and
of the amount, of any such misstatement. The Landlord's expenses for any
calendar year shall be deemed correct if Tenant does not give the Landlord
written notice of any such overpayment or underpayment within the one (1) year
period provided.
4.8 DATE AND FORM OF RENT PAYMENTS.
Rent payments shall commence on April 6, 2001 and shall be paid each
month in advance. Each Rent payment subsequent to such initial payment of Base
Rent shall be made
4

on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. Rent shall be payable
at the Landlord's address set forth in this Lease or such different address as
Landlord shall provide to Tenant by written notice. In the event Tenant fails to
pay Rent on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month, in addition to any
other remedy Landlord may have, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of
five percent (5%) of the amount of the late payment.
4.9 PARTIAL PAYMENTS.
Acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment of Base Rent shall not
constitute a waiver of the obligation of the Tenant to pay the full amount of
the Rent payment then due, or abrogate any late charge accruing.
4.10 RENT PRORATION.
For any fractional month occurring during the Term, the Base Rent and
any adjustments to the Base Rent payable for the fractional month shall be
prorated based on the ratio that the number of days in the fractional month
bears to the total number of days in that calendar month.
4.11 EARLY TERMINATION.
Tenant may terminate this Lease as to the entire Premises or as to the
Phase 1&2 Building, with no further obligation except for those continuing
representations, warranties, and indemnities set forth herein, upon thirty (30)
calendar days written notice to Landlord. In the event of early termination as
to less than the entire Premises, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect as to the remaining portion of the Premises and Base Rent shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Base Rent then applicable by the percentage derived
by dividing the total square footage of floor area of the buildings continuing
to be rented by Tenant by the total square footage of floor area of the
buildings originally leased to Tenant hereunder. If Tenant terminates this Lease
only as to the Phase 1&2 Building, such termination does not relieve Tenant of
its obligations under this Lease as to the remainder of the Premises . In the
event of such termination, the parties will work together in good faith to
resolve any issues as to the continuation, separation or allocation of common
Utilities or other shared requirements for xxx Xxxxx 0&0 Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxx will

6.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Lease shall benefit and bind the successors and permitted assigns
of Landlord and Tenant, except to the extent that Landlord may lease back all or
part of the Premises from Tenant as a subtenant pursuant to a sublease or other

Tenant may not assign or sublet all or a part of this Lease unless
Tenant first obtains the consent of Landlord. Landlord's consent may not be

on the Premises; (ii) such assignee or subtenant lacks the requisite financial
ability to perform the obligations set forth herein as determined by Landlord;

Landlord may sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Premises without the
consent of Tenant. If Landlord should sell or transfer Landlord's interest in
the Premises, then effective with the date of the sale or transfer, Landlord

subsequent mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises, together with any
renewals, modifications or extensions of subsequent mortgages or deeds of trust.
If Tenant has not defaulted under this Lease, Tenant's tenancy and Tenant's
rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed, nor shall this Lease be
affected, by any default under Landlord's mortgage or deed of trust, and any
successor to Landlord shall be bound by the Landlord's obligations under this
Lease. In the event of foreclosure or enforcement of any mortgage or deed of
trust, Tenant's rights and tenancy shall survive and this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect. This subordination is self-operative without the need
for any further document or instrument. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall
execute instruments that are reasonably required to subordinate this Lease to
mortgages or deeds of trust made by Landlord. Before entering any subsequent
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises, Landlord shall cause such
subsequent mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary to enter into a written
non-disturbance agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

If (i) any material portion of the buildings on the Premises, (ii)
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the parking area of the Premises, or (iii) any
portion of the Premises that materially and adversely affects the ingress and
egress, is permanently condemned or taken under any governmental law, ordinance
or regulation, by right of eminent domain, by inverse condemnation, or by deed
in lieu, then Tenant may, at Tenant's option and upon written notice to
Landlord, cancel this Lease effective when the physical taking shall occur. For
purposes of this Section 7.5, a "material" portion of the building means such
portion of the building as would render the remaining portion of the building
insufficient for Tenant's continuing needs. Upon receipt of notice of any
proposed condemnation, the receiving party shall promptly notify the other
party. If, prior to the physical taking, Tenant fails to exercise Tenant's
option to cancel, then this Lease shall continue and the Rent for the unexpired
Term shall be reduced as may be equitable under all of the circumstances. Except
as set forth in this Lease, Landlord reserves all rights to damages to the
Premises for any taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Premises.
Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority
compensation for any loss of Tenant's leasehold value in the Premises, losses
for moving expenses, interruption of or damage to Tenant's business, loss of
value, and cost of removal of stock, furniture, and fixtures owned by Tenant.
7.6 DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES.
In the event the Premises are damaged in part, rendering a portion
thereof unusable by Tenant for its business, or destroyed, Landlord agrees to
rebuild or repair the Premises to the extent insurance proceeds are available,
provided the cost of rebuilding or repairing the damage or destruction does not
exceed $10,000,000. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed due to no fault of
Tenant, Base Rent shall be partially abated as follows. Tenant shall remain
responsible for the Base Rent for the undamaged portion of the Premises, if any,
in an amount that is determined by multiplying Base Rent by the fraction that is
derived by dividing
12
14
the total undamaged floor area Tenant occupies by the total floor area of the
Premises. In the event that the cost of rebuilding or repairing the damage or
destruction exceeds $10,000,000, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and
both parties shall be released from any further liability hereunder. If the
Premises suffer substantial damage or destruction due to no fault of Tenant that
materially impairs Tenant's ability to operate its business on the Premises,
either party may terminate this Lease in its entirety by delivering a written
notice of termination to the other party within sixty (60) of such event, which
shall be effective upon receipt.
8. DEFAULT BY TENANT OR LANDLORD.
8.1 DEFAULT BY TENANT.
Tenant shall be in default under this Lease if any of the following
occur: (i) Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other payment required to be
paid by Tenant under this Lease and the failure shall not be cured within ten
(10) calendar days after delivery of written notice to Tenant of the failure;
(ii) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other covenant, agreement or
condition which Tenant is required to perform or observe, including without
limitation the proper performance of Tenant's obligations under Section 5,
above, and the failure shall not be cured within thirty (30) calendar days after
delivery of written notice to Tenant of the failure (or, if the cure cannot be
effected within the thirty day period, then within the additional period of time
as may be required to cure the default provided Tenant is diligently and
continuously pursuing the cure to completion); (iii) Tenant is named as a debtor
in any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; (iv) substantially all of
Tenant's assets are placed in receivership or are subjected to attachment or
other judiciary seizure; (v) Tenant makes or suffers a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors; or (vi) Tenant vacates or abandons all or a
substantial portion of the Premises.
8.2 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD.
In the event of Tenant's default as set forth in Section 8.1, Landlord
shall have the remedies set forth in this Lease by the giving of prior written
notice to Tenant at any time during the continuance of the event of default.
Landlord's remedies are cumulative and not alternative remedies.
8.2.1 LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.
Landlord shall have all remedies available at law or in equity.
8.2.2 TERMINATION OF LEASE.
In the event of a Tenant default, in addition to all other rights
and remedies available to Landlord in law and equity, Landlord may (i) change
the locks and lock the doors to the Premises and exclude Tenant from the
Premises, (ii) enter the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom
without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages for the removal,
(iii) declare the Lease fully or partially terminated, (iv) commence litigation
for the Rent due and to become due under the Lease, and for any damages
sustained by Landlord, (v) continue the Lease in effect and relet the Premises
on such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, and (vi) hold the
Tenant liable for the Rent, the reasonable cost
13
15
of obtaining possession of the Premises, the reasonable cost of reletting the
Premises (including broker's commissions), and the reasonable cost of any
repairs and alterations necessary to prepare the Premises for reletting, less
the Rents actually received from the reletting, if any.
8.2.3 ADVANCE.
In the event of Tenant's default, Landlord may remedy the default
for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may perform or have a
third party perform the services necessary to remedy such default and Tenant
will be obligated to pay as Additional Rent the reasonable costs incurred by
Landlord for such services. Neither the performance of such obligations by
Landlord or the payment of such costs by Tenant shall cure such default by
Tenant. Tenant shall remain in default until it actually resumes performance of
such obligations and provides Landlord with adequate assurances, as determined
by Landlord, that such performance will continue as required hereunder. If
Landlord at any time, by reason of the default, is compelled to pay, or elects
to pay, any money or do any act which will require the payment of any money, or
is compelled to incur any expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
instituting or prosecuting any action or proceeding to enforce Landlord's rights
under this Lease, the money paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of
payment, shall be Additional Rent and shall be due from Tenant to Landlord as
Rent.
8.3 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.
Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to
perform or observe any covenant, agreement or condition which Landlord is
required to perform or observe and the failure shall not be cured within thirty
(30) calendar days after delivery of written notice to Landlord by Tenant of the
failure (or, if the cure cannot be effected within the thirty day period, then
within the additional period of time as may be required to cure the default
provided Landlord is diligently and continuously pursuing the cure to
completion).
8.4 REMEDIES OF TENANT.
In the event of Landlord's default as set forth in Section 8.3, Tenant
shall have all rights provided at law or in equity, except Tenant expressly
waives any right to the abatement or withholding of rent payable to Landlord
under this Lease. Tenant's obligation to pay rent is independent of all other
rights, and Tenant may not withhold rent payments to Landlord or pay Rent to
other parties or into any escrow or holding account because of the default or
alleged default of Landlord.
9. TERMINATION OF LEASE.
9.1 EVENTS OF TERMINATION.
This Lease shall terminate upon the occurrence of one or more of the
following events: (i) by mutual written agreement of Landlord and Tenant; (ii)
by Landlord pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease; (iii) by Tenant
pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease; (iv) upon expiration of the
Term; or (v) by reason of Section 7.5 or 7.6 relating to condemnation or
damage/destruction of the Premises.
9.2 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.
14
16
Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord. If possession is not immediately
surrendered, Landlord may, in compliance with the laws of the state in which the
Premises are located, re-enter and repossess the Premises and remove all persons
or property.
9.3 HOLDING OVER.
If Tenant fails to deliver actual possession of the Premises to Landlord
upon termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have all remedies available at
law or in equity to a lessor of real property in the State of the Premises'
location, plus one of the following remedies: (i) Landlord may recover damages
from Tenant in an amount equal to (a) the Rent applicable immediately prior to
termination for each full or partial month that Tenant fails to deliver actual
possession of the Premises to Landlord, and (b) all damages sustained by
Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to deliver actual possession of the
Premises to Landlord; or (ii) Landlord may accept Tenant's failure to deliver
actual possession of the Premises to Landlord as an irrevocable offer to renew
this Lease for a month-to-month period.
9.4 CONDITION OF PREMISES UPON TERMINATION.
Tenant, upon termination or abandonment of this Lease or termination of
Tenant's right of possession, agrees as follows:
9.4.1 REMOVAL OF PROPERTY.
Tenant, at Tenant's option, may remove personal property
belonging to Tenant that Tenant placed on the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date, which was not transferred to Landlord as part of its purchase of the
Premises, provided that Tenant shall comply with the restoration requirements
set forth in Section 9.4.2 with respect to such removed personal property.
Except as permitted by this Lease, Tenant shall not remove any alterations,
improvements or additions made to the Premises by Tenant or others or remove any
personal property that was acquired and installed by Tenant after the date
Landlord acquired the Premises from Tenant, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent may be withheld for any reason or for no reason. Tenant
shall immediately remove, in a good and workmanlike manner, (i) all personal
property of Tenant installed by Tenant subsequent to the Commencement Date, and
(ii) the alterations, improvements and additions made to the Premises by Tenant
subsequent to the Commencement Date as Landlord may request in writing to be
removed. All damage occasioned by the removal shall be promptly repaired by
Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with Section 9.4.2. If
Tenant fails to remove any property, Landlord may (i) accept the title to the
property without credit or compensation to Tenant, or (ii) remove and store the
property, at Tenant's expense, in any reasonable manner that Landlord may
choose.
9.4.2 RESTORATION OF PREMISES.
Tenant shall restore the Premises to a broom clean condition and
in the condition existing on the Commencement Date, with the exception of (i)
ordinary wear and tear, and (ii) alterations, improvements and additions which
Landlord approved in writing prior to installation and which Landlord has not
directed Tenant in writing to remove. If Tenant fails to properly
15
17
restore the Premises, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, may restore the Premises in
any reasonable manner that Landlord may choose.
10. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES.
10.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
Except as expressly provided in this Lease, each party's rights and
remedies described in this Lease are cumulative and not alternative remedies.
10.2 NONWAIVER OF REMEDIES.
A waiver of any condition stated in this Lease shall not be implied by
any neglect of a party to enforce any remedy available by reason of the failure
to observe or perform the condition. A waiver by a party shall not affect any
condition other than the one specified in the waiver and a waiver shall waive a
specified condition only for the time and in the manner specifically stated in
the waiver. The acceptance by Landlord of rent or other money from Tenant after
termination of the Lease, after termination of Tenant's right of possession,
after the occurrence of a default, or after institution of any remedy by
Landlord shall not alter, diminish, affect or waive the Lease termination,
termination of possession, default or remedy.
10.3 INDEMNIFICATION.
To the extent caused by an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's
officers, directors, employees, invitees, guests, agents, contractors,
customers, clients or licensees, during and/or after the Term of this Lease,
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, and Landlord's
officers, directors, agents and employees from any liabilities, damages and
expenses (including attorney fees) with regard to claims by third parties
arising out of or relating to (i) the Premises, or (ii) Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises, except to the extent caused by Landlord's negligent
or willful acts or omissions.
10.4 TENANT'S HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INDEMNIFICATION.
During and after the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs (including costs of
remediation or clean-up and any proceedings related thereto), claims, judgments,
damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation,
diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use
of rentable or useable space or any amenity of the Premises, damages arising
from any adverse impact on marketing of space, and sums paid in settlement of
claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or
after the Term as a result of: (i) Tenant's breach of the obligations stated in
Section 5.12 regarding Hazardous Material; (ii) governmental investigation or
review of the Premises due to Tenant's operations on the Premises; or (iii)
Tenant's negligent or willful acts or omissions that impact existing
environmental contamination on or around the Premises ("INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATION"). The Indemnification Obligations includes, without limitation,
costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any
cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state,
or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous
Material present in the soil or ground water on or under the Premises, and,
without limiting the preceding, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the
Premises caused or
16
18
permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises, Tenant shall
promptly take all actions at Tenant's sole expense as are necessary to return
the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any
Hazardous Material to the Premises.
10.5 EFFECT OF LANDLORD'S INSURANCE ON TENANT'S OBLIGATION.
From time to time and without obligation to do so, Landlord may purchase
insurance against damage or liability arising out of or related to the Premises,
other than as required herein. The purchase or failure to purchase such
insurance shall not release or waive the obligations of Tenant set forth in this
Lease. Tenant waives all claims on insurance purchased by Landlord.
10.6 DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
If the parties disagree regarding the performance of this Lease, then
the parties agree to engage in direct discussions to settle the dispute. If the
disagreement cannot be settled by direct discussions, then the parties agree to
first endeavor to settle the disagreement in an amicable manner by mediation
pursuant the American Arbitration Association's Commercial Mediation Rules.
Thereafter, any unresolved disagreement arising from or relating to this Lease
or a breach of this Lease shall be resolved as provided by law. The provisions
of this Section 10.6 shall not apply to disputes arising from Tenant's default
in the performance of any obligation to pay rent or any other tax or assessment.
10.7 ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS.
If a party is in default under this Lease, then the defaulting party
shall pay to the other party reasonable attorney fees and costs (i) incurred by
the other party after default and referral to an attorney and (ii) incurred by
the prevailing party in any litigation.
10.8 INTERPRETATION.
This Lease shall be governed by the law of the State of Idaho. The
courts in the State of Idaho shall have exclusive jurisdiction. The invalidity
of any portion of this Lease shall not affect the validity of any other portion
of this Lease. This Lease constitutes the entire, completely integrated
agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior memoranda, correspondence,
conversations and negotiations.
