-4-
[PAGE 40]
Landlord shall have the right to require the Tenant to remove such fixtures at the Tenant’s cost
upon such termination of this lease.

14. LANDLORD’S RIGHTS - TENANT’S DEFAULT.
(a) The Landlord may give the Tenant five (5) days’ notice of intention to
terminate this lease in any of the following circumstances:
(i) If the Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any covenant
of this lease (other than the covenants for the payment of Rent) and if such default
is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof given by the
Landlord; or, if such default shall be of such nature that it cannot be cured
completely within such 15-day period, if the Tenant shall not have promptly
commenced within such 15-day period or shall not thereafter proceed with
reasonable diligence and in good faith to remedy such default.
(ii) If the Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, make a general
assignment for the benefit of the creditors, or take the benefit of any insolvency act,
or if a permanent receiver or trustee in bankruptcy shall be appointed for the
Tenant’s property and such appointment is not vacated within ninety (90) days. For
these purposes, the “Tenant” shall mean the Tenant then in possession of the Leased
Property.
(iii) If the Leased Property becomes vacant or deserted for a period of
thirty (30) days.
(iv) If this lease shall be assigned or the Leased Property sublet other
than in accordance with the terms of this lease and such default is not cured within
fifteen (15) days after notice.
(v) If the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of the Rent and such
default is not cured within ten (10) business days after mailing of written notice
thereof by the Landlord.
(b) If the Landlord shall give the five (5) days’ notice of termination provided
in subparagraph (a), then at the expiration of such period, this lease shall terminate as
completely as if that were the date herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the term of
this lease, and the Tenant shall then surrender the Leased Property to the Landlord. If this
lease shall so terminate, it shall be lawful for the Landlord, at its option, without formal
demand or notice of any kind, to reenter the Leased Property by an unlawful detainer action
-5-
[PAGE 41]
or by any other means and to remove the Tenant therefrom without being liable for any
damages therefor. Upon the termination of this lease, as herein provided, the Landlord
shall have the right, at its election, to terminate any sublease then in effect, without consent
of the sublessee concerned.
(c) The Tenant shall remain liable for all its obligations under this lease, despite
the Landlord’s reentry, and the Landlord may re-rent or use the Leased Property as agent
for the Tenant, if the Landlord so elects. The Tenant waives any legal requirement for
notice of intention to reenter and any right of redemption.
(d) Nothing in this article shall be deemed to require the Landlord to give the
Tenant any notice, other than such notice as may be required by statute, prior to the
commencement of an unlawful detainer action for nonpayment of any Rent, it being
intended that the five-day notice is only for the purpose of creating a conditional limitation
hereunder pursuant to which this lease shall terminate.
(e) If the lease shall terminate as provided in this article, the Landlord shall
have the right, at its election at any time, to recover from the Tenant the amount by which
the Rent and charges equivalent to the Rent reserved herein for the balance of the term
shall exceed the reasonable rental value of the Leased Property for the same period.
(f) Time is of the essence of this lease with respect to the performance by the
Tenant of its obligations hereunder.
15. PERFORMANCE OF TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS. If the Tenant shall be in a default
hereunder, the Landlord may cure such default on behalf of the Tenant, in which event the Tenant
shall reimburse the Landlord for all sums paid to effect such cure, together with interest at the rate
of 110% per annum of the “Prime Rate of Interest” charged by Wells Fargo Bank Minneapolis,
N.A. (the rate of interest charged by said Bank to its most credit-worthy commercial corporate
customers on unsecured commercial loans of ninety (90) days or less duration from time to time
during the interval between such due date and the date of payment) and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
In order to collect such reimbursement, the Landlord shall have all the remedies available under
this lease for a default in the payment of the Rent.
16. RIGHT OF ENTRY. The Landlord and its representative may enter the Leased
Property, at any reasonable time, for the purpose of inspecting the Leased Property, performing
any work which the Landlord elects to undertake made necessary by reason of the Tenant’s default
under the terms of this lease, exhibiting the Leased Property for sale, lease, or mortgage financing,
or posting notices of non-responsibility under any mechanic’s lien law. Except in an emergency,
the Landlord, while exercising this right of entry, will not interfere with the operations or business
activities of the Tenant.
17. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY LOSS. In case of damage by fire or other casualty to
the building in which the Leased Property is located, if the damage is so extensive as to amount
practically to the total destruction of the Leased Property or of such building, this lease shall cease,
-6-
[PAGE 42]
and the Rent shall be apportioned to the time of the damage. In all other cases where the Leased
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty without the fault of the Tenant, the Landlord shall
repair the damage with reasonable dispatch, and if the damage has rendered the Leased Property
untenantable, in whole or in part, there shall be an apportionment of the Rent until the damage has
been repaired. In determining what constitutes reasonable dispatch, consideration shall be given
in delays caused by strikes, adjustment of insurance, and other causes beyond the Landlord’s
control.
18. INSURANCE.
(a) The Landlord shall keep the building containing the Leased Property
insured against loss or damage by fire with all risk policy endorsement in an amount
sufficient to prevent the Landlord from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the
applicable policies but, in any event, in an amount not less than 80% of the full insurable
value as determined from time to time. The term “full insurance value” shall mean actual
replacement cost (exclusive of the cost of excavation, foundations, and footings below the
basement floor) without deduction for physical depreciation. Such insurance shall be
issued by financially responsible insurers duly authorized to do business in this state.
(b) During the term of this lease, the Tenant shall keep the Leased Property
insured, at its sole cost and expense, against claims for personal injury or property damage
under a policy of general public liability insurance, with limits of at least $500,000 per
occurrence with a general aggregate limit of $1,000,000. Such policies shall name the
Landlord and the Tenant as the insureds. Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, the
Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord certificates of insurance certifying that such insurance
is in full force and effect. On the anniversary date of such insurance policies thereafter,
during the term of this lease, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord certificates of
insurance certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect.
(c) The Tenant shall be responsible for insuring all of its personal property,
furniture, fixtures and equipment located in the Leased Property in such amounts and upon
such terms as it determines.
19. DENIAL OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS. The Landlord and the Tenant and all parties
claiming under them hereby mutually release and discharge each other from all claims and
liabilities arising from or caused by any hazard covered by insurance on the Leased Property, or
covered by insurance in connection with property on or activities conducted on the Leased
Property regardless of the cause of the damage or loss.
20. TERMINATION OF LEASE UPON CONDEMNATION. If the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, is taken by eminent domain, this lease shall expire on the date when the Leased
Property shall be so taken, and the Rent shall be apportioned as of that date. No part of any award
shall belong to the Tenant, except any portion of the award attributable to any trade fixtures or
equipment of the Tenant taken by the public authority.
-7-
[PAGE 43]
21. EASEMENTS. The Landlord shall have the right to grant easements in areas of the
Leased Property for the installation of utilities, provided that the use of such easement areas for
such purposes does not interfere substantially with the operation of the Tenant’s business. The
Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or abatement of the Rent if the use of such
easement does not interfere substantially with the operations of the Tenant’s business.
22. RIGHTS TO ASSIGN AND SUBLEASE. The Tenant may sublet all or portions of the
Leased Property for the remainder of the term with the approval of the Landlord, which approval
the Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, provided that the business or occupation of the
subtenant is not extra hazardous, disreputable, or illegal, and provided further that the Tenant shall
remain primarily liable for the payments of the Rent herein reserved and for the performance of
all the other terms of this lease required to be performed by the Tenant.
23. NOTICE. Any notice under this lease must be in writing and must be sent by
registered or certified mail to the last address of the party to whom the notice is to be given, as
designated by such party in writing. The Landlord hereby designates its address as 207 West Main
Avenue, West Fargo, North Dakota 58078. The Tenant hereby designated its address as 109 3rd
St E, West Fargo, North Dakota 58078.
24. CONSTRUCTION.
(a) This lease shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of North Dakota.
(b) The covenants, terms, conditions, provisions, and undertaking in this lease
or in any renewals thereof shall extend to and be binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns of the respective parties hereto, as if they were in
every case named and expressed, and shall be construed as covenants running with the
land; and wherever reference is made to either of the parties hereto, it shall be held to
include and apply also to the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of
such party, as if in each and every case so expressed.
(c) The parties agree to execute and deliver any instruments in writing
necessary to carry out any agreement, term, condition, or assurance in this lease whenever
occasion shall arise and request for such instruments shall be made.
(d) The specified remedies to which the Landlord may resort under the terms
of this lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or
means of redress to which the Landlord may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or
threatened breach by the Tenant of any provision or provisions of this lease.
(e) This lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and cannot be
changed or terminated orally.
-8-
[PAGE 44]
(f) This lease may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing
and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification,
or discharge is sought.

remainder of this lease shall continue in full force and effect.
