SECTION 9 . If the premises or any part thereof shall, during the term of this Lease, be substantially or totally or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty, then this Lease and the term hereof shall forthwith come to an end, and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder thereafter accruing, except as provided in Section 6.c. ; and, if the premises shall, during such term, be partially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, then the rent herein reserved (or a fair or just proportion thereof, according to the nature or extent of the destruction or damage sustained and to the extent of Lessee' s continued use thereof) shall be abated provided the premises are occupied and usable by Lessee until the premises shall have been by the Lessor rebuilt or restored.

SECTION 11. The default of the Lessee for more than fifteen (15) days after prior written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee in the payment of any installment of rent, or in the performance of any duty or obligation herein set forth (except if such default is of such character as to require more than fifteen (15) days to cure and Lessee is using diligence to cure such default) , shall at the election of the Lessor terminate this Lease and the term hereby granted; and, upon such termination, the Lessee shall quit and surrender the premises forthwith and the Lessor shall have the right to enter and take possession of the premises.

Should Lessor default in any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the quiet possession of the Lessee, the Lessee shall forward written notice of such default as hereinafter provided, and Lessor agrees that if it be in default as set forth in such notice, it will cure such default within fifteen (15) days after the date of receiving such notice, or in the event such default of such character as to require more than fifteen (15) days to cure, the Lessor will use diligence to cure such default. If, however, after due notice to the Lessor of an opportunity to cure the same, the Lessor shall refuse to cure or make good any such default, the Lessee may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights and obligations will then cease, including, without limitation, the payment of rentals. SECTION 12 . Time of the performance of the duties and obligations of the parties is of the essence of this Lease and the strict performance by the Lessee of its duties and obligations, and each of them, is a condition precedent to its right to continue in possession of the premises. SECTION 13 . Lessee shall have the right to place an exterior sign on the premises in such form and at such location as is acceptable to Lessor, and, provided such sign is permitted by the local authorities, and upon termination of the Lease, to remove Lessee's contents, provided that all other leasehold improvements 6 910431 shall be deemed to be the property of the Lessor, and provided further, that Lessee restores the premises to its former condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, at the termination of this Lease. SECTION 14. Any notice required hereunder or by law to be given to the Lessor shall be mailed to Lessor at 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631, or such other address, upon notice to Lessee by Lessor; any notice required hereunder to be given to Lessee may be mailed to Lessee at 814-816 Ninth Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631, or affixed to the door of the premises or such other address upon notice to Lessor by Lessee. SECTION 15. The Lessee may not, without the prior written consent of the Lessor first obtained, assign the term hereby demised, or let or underlet, or permit said premises to be used by others for hire; provided such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld as to a tenant comparable to Lessee, and, that Lessee shall remain fully responsible for the payments of rent and the performance of all conditions of this Lease. SECTION 16. Anything contained in this section or any other sections of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lessor and the Lessee each hereby releases the other from any and all liability or responsibility (to the other or to anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage to the leased premises or to the fixtures, goods, wares, merchandise or any other property thereon or therein for which it is protected by an existing policy or policies of insurance caused by fire or any of the extended coverage or supplementary contract casualties, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible. It is agreed that the insurance policies of both parties shall contain a clause or endorsement providing for said waiver of subrogation and that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair such policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. SECTION 17. The Lessee may install fixtures, equipment, and appliances for the conduct of its business upon the leased premises, and shall be permitted to make such installment as soon as practicable, provided Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any loss or damage to the fixtures, equipment, or appliances so installed except as directly caused by the negligence of the Lessor or its employees. The Lessee agrees to hold the Lessor harmless from all claims and demands of third persons in any manner relating to such installation. The aforesaid fixtures, equipment, and appliances may be affixed to the building and the Lessee may remove the same at will, provided however, that the premises, shall, at the request of the Lessor be restored to the original condition at the expense of the Lessee at the 7 910437 conclusion of the term or any extension of this Lease. The property not removed by Lessee shall become the property of the Lessor. SECTION 18. Lessee agrees to abide by and uphold reasonable rules of Lessor for the use of the premises, building, and parking lots owned by Lessor, including rules relating to security and emergency procedures established from time to time by Lessor. SECTION 19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be required to discharge or remove any lien, encumbrance, or charge referred to in subparagraph j . of Section 6 hereof, so long as Lessee shall contest, in good faith and at its own expense, the existence, the amount, or the validity thereof, or the extent of its liability therefor, by appropriate proceedings which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent (i. ) the collection of, or other realization upon the lien, encumbrance, or charge so contested, (ii. ) the sale, forfeiture, or loss of the premises, or any part thereof, or the rent or any additional rent, or any portion thereof, to satisfy the same, (iii. ) any reference for the use and occupancy of the premises or any part thereof, and (iv. ) any interference with the payment of the rent or any additional rent, or any portion thereof. While any such proceedings are pending, Lessor shall not have the right to pay, remove, or cause to be discharged the lien, encumbrance, or charge thereby being contested. Lessee further agrees that each such contest shall be promptly prosecuted to a final conclusion, that it will pay and save Lessor harmless against, any and all losses, judgments, decrees, and costs (including all reasonable attorney' s fees and expenses) in connection therewith, and that it will, promptly after final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged, or imposed or be determined to be payable therein, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs, and expenses thereon or in connection therewith, and perform all acts, the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such costs shall subject Lessor to any risk of civil liability, and Lessee shall give reasonable security to Lessor as may be demanded by Lessor to insure payment of any lien, encumbrance, or charge contested as provided in this paragraph and to prevent any such sale or forfeiture by reason of such contest. SECTION 20. All covenants, promises, representations, and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon, apply and inure to the benefit of the successor and assigns of the respective parties hereto. SECTION 21. This Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, all prior conversations, discussions, and correspondence between the 8 3j0437 parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein being merged herein.
