Lessee shall be responsible for any and all injury to any and all persons or property caused directly or indirectly by reason of any and all activities by Lessee on or in connection with the leased property; and further agrees to indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Lessor, its officers, agents, and employees from and against all claims, suits, actions, damages, costs, losses and expenses in any manner resulting from, arising out of, or connected with any such in- jury. 12. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. The provisions of this section supplement other lease provisions that might apply concerning Lessee's obligations, responsibilities and liabilities for environmental pollution, present and future, and for compliance with the laws, regulations or orders of any governmental agency concerning environmental pollution, present and future, on the premises. To the extent that the provisions of this section conflict with any such other provisions, the provisions of this section shall control. Where terms of this section use terms that are found in applicable state and federal environmental pollution laws, those terms shall have the same meaning as they have in those state and federal laws. 2010-639 Page 3 of 9 Lessee acknowledges that Lessee has inspected and investigated the property and otherwise informed itself on the condition of the premises and based upon such inspection and investigation, Lessee is satisfied that the premises does not now contain any amounts of hazardous, toxic, radioactive or other substances for which a property owner or operator maybe made liable under state or federal environmental pollution or health and safety laws. Accordingly, Lessee agrees that as between the Lessor and Lessee, Lessee will assume responsibility and liability as set forth below in the removal and indemnification provision for any release or discharge of hazardous, toxic, radioactive or other dangerous substances regulated under state or federal pollution control laws found hereafter on, in or about the real property. Except as undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting its business, Lessee covenants that during the term of this Lease, Lessee will not generate, store, process or dispose of or release or discharge into the environment hazardous, toxic, radioactive or other dangerous substances on or about the leased premises in any amount, nor will Lessee allow such prohibited activities to take place on the leased property during the lease term. Lessee covenants to report, contain and remove in conformance with applicable state and federal law any releases of hazardous, toxic, radioactive or other substances regulated under state or federal pollution control laws that are found on or in the premises during the term of this Lease or any releases of such materials found off the premises that originated from the premises during the lease term and to be responsible for the cost of removal of such substances. Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the County, its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any claims, demands, causes of action or suits for damages, reimbursement or any other cost of compliance, including, but not limited to, remedial action costs, removal costs, natural resources damages, penalties, punitive damages, interest costs, attorney fees and damages of any kind to third parties, arising from the discharge, release or threatened release on or in the premises of any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substances occurring during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof. For the purposes of this section, any release of hazardous substances discovered on the premises during the term of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred after the execution of this Lease. The obligations, responsibilities and liabilities of this section are continuing obligations, responsibilities and liabilities and shall not be extinguished by the termination of this Lease. 13. PARTIAL TAKING. If a portion of the leased real property is condemned and the paragraph entitled "Total Taking" does not apply, the Lease shall continue on the following terms: A. Lessor shall be entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor as a result of the condemnation. B. Lessor shall proceed as soon as reasonably possible to make such repairs and alterations to the real property as reasonably practicable to return the real property to its condition existing at the time of the condemnation, but in no event shall Lessor be liable for repairs in excess of condemnation proceeds awarded 2010-639 Page 4 of 9 to and received by Lessor. The Lessor may, but shall not be required to, perform alterations prior to the actual taking after the portion to be taken has been finally determined. Rent shall be abated to the extent the real property is untenable during the period of alteration and repair. C. After the date on which title vests in the condemning authority or an earlier date on which alterations or repairs are commenced by Lessor to restore the balance of the property in anticipation of taking, the rent shall be reduced commensurately with the reduction in value of the leased real property as an economic unit on account of the partial taking. If the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of the reduction of rent, the amount shall be determined by arbitration. D. If a portion of the Lessor's real property not included in the leased real property is taken and severance damages are awarded on account of the leased real property, or an award is made for detriment to the leased real property as a result of change of grade of adjacent streets or other activity by a public body not involving a physical taking of any portion of the land, this shall be regarded as a partial condemnation of which subparagraphs (A) and (C) of "Partial Taking" above apply, and the rent shall be reduced to the extent of diminution of value of the real property as though a portion had been physically taken. 14. TOTAL TAKING. If a condemning authority takes all of the leased real property or a portion sufficient to render the real property reasonably unsuitable for the use which the Lessee was then making of the real property, the Lease shall terminate as of the date the title vests in the condemning authority. Lessor shall be entitled to all of the proceeds of condemnation and the Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor as a result of the condemnation. 15. SALE IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION - DEDICATION TO THE PUBLIC. Sale of all or part of the leased real property to a purchaser with the power of eminent domain in the face of a threat or probability of the exercise of the power shall be treated for the purpose of this Paragraph as a taking by condemnation. Dedication to the public, sale, or transfer of all or a portion of the real property of Lessor to the State of Oregon, its political subdivisions or United States of America, shall be treated as a total or partial taking, as applicable. 16. LIENS. A. Except with respect to activities for which the Lessor is responsible, the Lessee shall pay as due all claims for work done on and for services rendered or material furnished to the leased real property and shall keep the real property free from any liens. If Lessee fails to pay any such claims or to discharge any lien, Lessor may do so and collect the cost as additional rent. Any amount so added shall bear interest at the rate of nine per cent (9%) per annum from the date expended by Lessor and shall be payable on demand. Such action by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy which Lessor may have on account of Lessee's default. B. Lessee may withhold payment of any claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lessor's property interests are not 2010-639 Page 5 of 9 jeopardized. If a lien is filed as a result of nonpayment, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after knowledge of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien or deposit with Lessor cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other surety satisfactory to Lessor in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs, attorney fees and other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under a lien. 17. INSURANCE. A. It is expressly understood that Lessor shall not be responsible for carrying insurance on any property owned by Lessee. B. Lessee will be required to carry fire and casualty insurance on Lessee's personal property on the Premises. C. Lessee shall carry commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis; with a combined single limit of not Tess than $500,000 each occurrence, with an annual aggregate limit of $1,000,000. Lessee shall provide Lessor with a certificate of insurance, as well as an endorsement, naming Deschutes County, its officers, agents, and employees and volunteers as an additional insured. There shall be no cancellation, termination, material change, or reduction of limits of the insurance coverage during the term of this lease. 18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE. If the Lessee, through voluntary sale or transfer, or through enforcement of contract, foreclosure, tax sale, or other valid legal proceeding, shall cease to be the owner of the commercial business situated on the real property described in this Lease, and is unable to furnish adequate proof of ability to redeem or otherwise reestablish title to said improvements, this Lease shall be subject to cancellation. But, if the person to whom such commercial business shall have been transferred in either manner above provided, is reasonably qualified as a Lessee, and is willing that his future occupancy of the real property shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, his continued occupancy of the real property shall be authorized by a Lease to him, which shall be for the unexpired term of this Lease, unless the parties agree to a new Lease term. Lessee may sublease the use of the real property covered under this Lease and the operation of concessions and facilities authorized in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease subject to the written consent of the Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Lessee shall continue to be responsible for compliance with all conditions of this Lease by persons to whom such real property may be sublet. 19. DEFAULT. The following shall be events of default: A. Failure of Lessee to pay any rent or other charge within ten (10) days after it is due. B. Failure of Lessee to comply with any term or condition or fulfill any obligation of the Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice is mailed by Lessor specifying the nature of the default with reasonable particularity. If the default is 2010-639 Page 6 of 9 in such a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within the thirty (30) day period, this provision shall be complied with if Lessee begins correction of the default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence and in good faith to effect the remedy as soon as practicable, so long as a full cure of said default is made within ninety (90) days of the original written notice. 20. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. A. In the event of a default, the Lease may be terminated at the option of the Lessor by notice in writing to Lessee. The notice may be given at any time after the grace period for default given under the paragraph entitled "Default." If the property is abandoned by Lessee in connection with a default, termination shall be automatic and without notice. B. In any of the above set out cases or events, the Lessor, or those having the Lessor's estate in the real property, lawfully at its option, may enter into and upon said demised real property and every part thereof, and repossess the same of Lessor's former estate, and expel said Lessee and those claiming by and through or under Lessee, and remove Lessee's effects at Lessee's expense, forcibly if necessary, and store the same, without being deemed guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which otherwise might be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant.

Upon abandonment, termination, revocation or cancellation of this Lease, the Lessee shall surrender the real property to Lessor in the same condition as the real property was on the date of possession, except, that nothing in this lease shall be construed as to relieve lessee of lessees' affirmative obligation to surrender said premises in a condition which complies with all local, state or federal environmental laws, regulations and orders applicable at the time of surrender.

Lessee's obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or the termination of the Lease. 23. NOTICES.
