demand, shall constitute a breech of this lease. Should Tenant comply with all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and promptly pay all of the
rental herein provided for as it falls due, and all other sums payable by Tenant

assessment, Tenant may defer payment thereof so long as the validity or the
amount thereof is contested by Tenant in good faith, in which case Tenant shall

blanket coverage of Tenant. A renewal policy shall be procured not less than ten
(10) days prior to the expiration of any policy. Each original policy or a
certified copy thereof, or a satisfactory certificate of the insurer evidencing
insurance carried with proof of payment of the premium shall be deposited with

all of its personal property. Tenant agrees to pay a reasonable cleaning charge
should it be necessary for Landlord to restore or cause to be restored the
premises to the same condition as when said premises were delivered to Tenant.
16. HOLDOVER: Should the Landlord permit Tenant to holdover the leased
premises or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term of this Lease,
then and unless otherwise agreed in writing, such holding over shall constitute
a tenancy from month-to-month only, and shall in no event be construed as a
renewal of this Lease and all provisions of this Lease not inconsistent with a
tenancy from month-to-month shall remain in full force and effect. During the
month-to-month tenancy, Tenant agrees to give Landlord thirty (30) days prior
written notice of its intent to vacate premises. Tenant agrees to vacate the
premises upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord. The rental

the covenants and conditions hereof except default in payment of rent, Landlord

paid by Landlord by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with any covenant
agreement, obligation or provision of this Lease, or in defending any action to
which Landlord may be subjected by reason of any such failure for any reason of
this Lease, shall be deemed to be additional rent for the leased premises and
shall be due and payable to Landlord on demand. The acceptance by Landlord of
any installment of fixes rent, or of any additional rent due under this or any
other paragraph of this lease, shall not be a waiver of any other rent then due
nor of the right to demand the performance of any other obligation of the Tenant
under this Lease. Interest shall be paid to Landlord on all sums advanced by
Landlord at an annual interest rate of 2% over the prime rate charged by First
Security Bank of Utah.
If Tenant shall make default in Fulfillment of any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease (other than the covenants for the payment of rent or
other amounts) and any such default shall continue for a period of fifteen (15)
days after notice, then Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by

surrender the leased premises.

file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or if Tenant shall file any petition or

amendment thereto hereafter made, seeking to effect its reorganization or a
composition with its creditors, or if any proceedings based on the insolvency of
Tenant or relating to bankruptcy proceedings, a receiver or trustee shall be
appointed for Tenant or if any proceedings shall be commenced for the
reorganization of Tenant or if Tenant shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its obligations generally as they become due, then Landlord, in addition to
any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of
re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the premises. Such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost of and for the account of Tenant. Landlord may elect to re-enter, as herein
provided, or Landlord may take possession pursuant to this Lease and relet said
premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
such other terms and conditions as Landlord in the exercise of Landlord's sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make repairs to said premises.

Landlord, in addition to any indebtedness due hereunder, the costs and expenses
of such reletting including advertising costs, brokerages fees, any reasonable
attorney's fees incurred and the cost of such repairs incurred by Landlord, and

arm's-length basis. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by
such reletting and such rents shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the new

construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless the
termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction or stated
specifically by the Landlord in writing addressed to Tenant. Should Landlord at
any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy
Landlord may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may
incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the premises
including reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and storage charges. In no
event, shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of

Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, this paragraph does not apply
to disputes or claims arising under Section 78, Chapter 36, of the Utah Code.

party to this Lease to perform any obligations hereunder, other than Tenant's

restriction or any similar cause beyond the control of the party so failing to
perform, to the extent and for the period that such continues.
