6. COMMON AREA, INSURANCE AND COMMON AREA CHARGES:
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and Tenant's employees, agents,
customers and invitees the right, during the term hereof, to use, in
common with others granted the use thereof, the appropriate Common
Areas within the limits of the Site. Landlord shall operate, manage
and maintain, during the term of this Lease, all Common Areas within
the Site. The manner in which such areas and facilities shall be
maintained and the expenditures therefor shall be at the sole
discretion of Landlord. The use of such areas and facilities shall
be subject to such reasonable regulations as Landlord shall make
from time to time. Tenant agrees to cause its employees to park in
such areas as may be designated by Landlord for employee parking.
(b) From the Date of the Lease and throughout the Lease Term, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, a "Common Area Charge,"
which shall be Tenant's proportionate share of all costs and
expenses of every kind and nature paid or incurred by Landlord in
operating, maintaining and repairing the Common Areas and insuring
the Site. Such costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited
to, costs of repairing, maintaining and replacing all common area
improvements; providing public liability, property damage, fire and
extended coverage and such other insurance as Landlord deems
appropriate; personal property taxes, fire protection and fire
hydrant charges, water and sewer charges, utility charges, licenses
and permit fees. Tenant's Common Area Charge shall include fees for
management of the Building or the Premises. Tenant's Common Area
Charge shall be determined by multiplying the total cost incurred by
Landlord by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of square feet of floor area of the Premises and the denominator of
which shall be the gross leasable area of the Building. Inclusive
with the taxes and assessments to be paid by Tenant pursuant to
Paragraph 18 of this Lease, Landlord estimates that the Common Area
Charge to Tenant to be paid during the first year of the Lease Term
shall be $3.85 per square foot leased.
(c) Pursuant to Paragraph 5 above, Tenant's Common Area Charge shall be
paid in monthly installments on the first day of each month, with
Tenant's payment of Base Rent, in an amount to be estimated by
Landlord, which estimate shall be subject to change by Landlord from
time to time. Following the end of the period used by Landlord in
estimating Landlord's cost, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement of the actual amount of Tenant's proportionate share of
such Common Area Charge for such period. Within ten (10) days
thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall remit to
Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the estimated
amounts paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant's Common Area
Charge for such period as shown by such statement. Landlord shall
allow Tenant, upon written request, to review any and all supporting
documentation used by Landlord in arriving at the Common Area
Charge. Since it is unlikely that the Davenport City Assessor will
break out the assessment between the building and the Exterior
Premises, for purposes of computing the real estate taxes relating
to the Additional Premises, the completed cost of the land and
improvements for the Exterior Premises as a percentage of the total
cost of the land and building cost of the project (computed
separately for land and improvements) shall be multiplied by the
assessed value to determine the proportional share of the real
estate taxes attributable to the Exterior Premises.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant's
Common Area charge shall include 100% of any and all costs or
expenses relating to maintenance of the Exterior Premises and the
surrounding area as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
(e) For the purposes of this Agreement, Lessee's pro-rata share of the
Common Area Charge shall be calculated using Lessee's leased square
footage of its interior Premises, set forth herein as 5,952 SF, as
the numerator and the total leaseable square footage of the project,
set forth herein as 24,456 square feet, as the denominator. The
2,175 square feet of space in the lower level shall not be included
in computing Tenant's share of the Common Area Charge. Lessee's
pro-rata share of the interior Premises is 24.34%. In addition,
Tenant's Common Area Charge shall include 100% of the charges and
expenses relating to the Exterior Premises.
7. PAST DUE RENTS: If Tenant shall fail to pay any Base Rent, Additional
Rents or other charges within ten (10) days after the same become due and
payable, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date
thereof to the date of payment at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum ("Default Interest Rate"), provided, however, that such Default
Interest Rate shall not exceed the maximum legal rate of interest allowed
to be charged to Tenant under any applicable law of the State of Iowa.
8. PLACE OF PAYMENTS: All payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord
shall be made payable to the order of the Landlord, and all such payments
shall be delivered to Landlord's Address.

demands, actions, proceedings, judgments and damages (including
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind or nature by
anyone whomsoever arising or growing out of any breach or
non-performance by Tenant of the covenants contained in this
Paragraph.
12. SIGNS: Tenant may, at its own cost and expense, install a suitable
identification sign on the Building of such size, design and character as
permitted by the Declaration of Protective Covenants for Crow Valley

all real estate taxes and assessments, both general and special,
levied against the Real Estate, Building and all other improvements
which may be added thereto or constructed within the Site. Tenant's
proportionate share shall be the total amount of such taxes and
assessments multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of square feet of floor area within the Premises and
the denominator of which shall be the gross leasable area of the
existing Building within the Site at the time such taxes were levied
or assessed. Should any governmental taxing authority levy, assess

taxes and assessments for the current tax year, as reasonably
estimated by Landlord based upon the prior year's tax assessments.
If Tenant's proportionate share of taxes with respect to any tax
year is less than the total amount theretofore paid by Tenant for
such period, the excess shall be credited against the payments with
respect to real estate taxes next becoming due. If Tenant's
proportionate share of taxes for any tax year exceeds the total
amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such period, Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor, pay
to Landlord the difference between the estimated amount paid by
Tenant and Tenant's actual proportionate share of real estate taxes
and assessments.

rebuilt or repaired and are untenantable in whole or in part
following the damage, and the damage or destruction was not caused
or contributed to by act or negligence of Tenant, its agents,
employees, invitees or those for whom Tenant is responsible, the
rent payable under this Lease during the period for which the
Premises are untenantable shall be abated to such an extent as may
be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event that
Lessor fails to complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within
one hundred twenty (120) working days from the date of written
notification by Tenant to Landlord of the destruction, Tenant may at
its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of
termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations under
this Lease shall cease to exist.
24. DEFAULT:
(a) If Tenant shall fail (i) to pay, when due, any rental, charge or
other sum payable hereunder within ten (10) days after written
notice shall have been given to Tenant; or (ii) to correct any
default with respect to Paragraph 5 hereof within five (5) days
after written notice of such default shall have been given to
Tenant; or (iii) to keep, observe or perform any of the other terms,
covenants and conditions herein to be kept, observed and performed
by Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after written notice shall
have been given to Tenant specifying the nature of such other
default, or if such other default so specified shall be of such
nature that the same cannot be reasonably cured or remedied within
said thirty (30) day period, if Tenant shall not in good faith have
commenced the curing or remedying of such default within such thirty
(30) day period and shall not thereafter continuously and diligently
proceed therewith to completion; or (iv) if Tenant should make
default with respect to any other Lease between Landlord and Tenant,
then and in any one or more of such events (herein referred to as an
"Event of Default") Landlord shall have the rights and remedies as
hereinafter set forth.
(b) No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall
be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding any such re-entry without termination, Landlord
reserves the right to elect to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach.
(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and shall not be cured in the
manner as herein provided (unless Tenant is not entitled to an
opportunity to cure such default), Landlord and Tenant covenant and
agree that Landlord shall immediately have the following rights and
remedies: (i) to immediately re-enter the Premises by summary
proceedings, if necessary, and to dispossess Tenant and all other
occupants thereof and to remove and dispose of all property therein
or to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost and for the account of Tenant without Landlord being deemed
guilty or trespass or becoming liable for any loss of damage which
may arise out of such action, except for any such property in which
a prior security interest has been granted; (ii) to cancel and
terminate this Lease upon three (3) days notice to Tenant stating
that this Lease and the term hereof shall expire and terminate on
the date specified in such notice, and upon such specified notice,
this Lease and all rights of the Tenant under this Lease shall
expire and terminate as if that date were the date definitely fixed
in this Lease for the termination of the term; (iii) to cancel and
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises only, and in
the event of such election, Tenant shall immediately quit and
surrender possession of the Premises only but Tenant shall remain
liable for damages as hereinafter provided. Landlord shall have the
right, at its election, to pursue any and/or all of such rights
together with any other right or remedy which may be available to
Landlord under any statute or rule of law then in effect.
(d) The rights and remedies herein reserved by or granted to Landlord
and Tenant are distinct, separate and cumulative, and the exercise
of any one of them shall not be deemed to preclude, waive or
prejudice their right to exercise any or all others.
(e) In the event of any litigation or formal legal proceeding between
the parties to this Lease, Landlord and Tenant specifically covenant
and agree that the prevailing party in such litigation shall be
entitled to recover, in addition to other damages, all court costs,
expenses and reasonable attorney's fees that it may actually incur
in enforcing the terms of this Lease, and the parties expressly
waive any statute, rule of law or public policy to the contrary and
further covenant and agree that they shall confirm such waiver in
writing at the time of commencement of any such action proceeding or
counterclaim.
25. ACCESS TO PREMISES: Landlord and its authorized representatives shall
have the right to enter upon the Premises during all regular business
hours for the purpose of inspecting or exhibiting the same to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees and tenants. Within one hundred eighty (180) days
from the expiration of the initial Lease Term or any extended term,
Landlord may place on the Site "For Lease", "To Let" or "For Rent" signs
of reasonable size which signs shall not be removed, obliterated or
hidden by Tenant.
26. SUBORDINATION: Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease be and the same
is subject and subordinate at all times to all covenants, restrictions,
easements and ground and underlying leases now or hereafter affecting the
fee title of the Premises and to all modifications, amendments and
supplements thereto. At Landlord's option, this Lease be and the same is
subject and subordinate at all times to all mortgages or any other method
of financing or refinancing in any amounts, and all advances thereon,
which may now or hereafter be placed against or affect any or all of the
Real Estate and/or the Premises and/or the Building and any or all of the
improvements, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
participations, replacements and extensions thereof. The aforesaid
provisions shall be self-operative and no further instrument or
subordination shall be necessary unless required by any such ground or
underlying lessors or mortgagees. Should Landlord or mortgagees desire
confirmation of such subordination, the Tenant, within ten (10) days
following Landlord's written request therefor, agrees to execute and
deliver, without charge, any and all documents (in form acceptable to
such ground or underlying lessors or mortgagees) subordinating this Lease
and the Tenant's rights hereunder. Should any such mortgagees request
that the Lease be made superior, rather than subordinate, to any such
ground or underlying lease and/or mortgage, then Tenant, within ten (10)
days following Landlord's written request therefor, agrees to execute and
deliver, without charge, any and all documents (in form acceptable to
such ground or underlying lessors or mortgagees) effectuating such
priority.
27. ATTORNMENT: Tenant agrees that in the event of a sale, transfer, or
assignment of the Landlord's interest in the Premises, or in the event
that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of or for the
exercise of any power of sale under any mortgage made by Landlord the
Premises, to attorn to and to recognize such transferee, purchaser,
ground or underlying lessor or mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease
upon written notice of same.
28. QUIET ENJOYMENT: If Tenant timely pays the rents reserved and performs
all of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the
Tenant's part to be performed, then Tenant shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term, subject to the
terms of this Lease, and to any mortgages, ground or underlying leases,
agreements and encumbrances to which this Lease is or may be
subordinated.
29. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS: The provisions of this Paragraph shall be applicable
if there shall occur any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes, inability
to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor or acts
of God, governmental restrictions, regulations or controls, enemy or
hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty or
other conditions similar or dissimilar to those enumerated in this
Paragraph beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to
perform. If Landlord or Tenant shall, as a direct result of any of the
above mentioned events, fail to timely perform any obligation on its part
to be performed, then such failure shall be excused and not be a breach
of this Lease by the party in question, but only to the extent and for
the time occasioned by such event. The provisions of this Paragraph shall
not apply to Tenant's obligation to pay when due, the Base Rent or any
Additional Rent or sums or charges; and in addition lack of funds and
inability to procure financing shall not be deemed to be an event beyond
the reasonable control of Tenant. In the event of such an unavoidable
delay and as a condition precedent of Tenant claiming or relying upon
such delay, Tenant shall give notice in writing describing such event to
Landlord within ten (10) days after the occurrence of same.
30. SURRENDER OF PREMISES: Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
Lease Term, Tenant agrees to quit and surrender the Premises,
broom-clean, in good condition and repair, reasonable use, wear and tear,
natural deterioration and insured casualty excepted, together with all
keys and combinations to locks, safes and vaults and all improvements,
alterations, additions, signs, trade fixtures, lighting fixtures and
equipment at any time made or installed in, upon or to the interior or
exterior of the Premises, except personal property, all of which shall,
at Landlord's option, then become the property of Landlord without any
claim by Tenant, but the surrender of such property to Landlord shall not
be deemed to be a payment of rent or in lieu of any rent reserved
hereunder. Before surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall remove all of
Tenant's personal property and, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall also
remove any alterations, additions, signs, trade fixtures and other
fixtures, equipment and decorations at any time made or installed by
Tenant in, upon or to the interior or exterior of the Premises, and
Tenant further agrees to repair any damage caused thereby. If Tenant
shall fail to remove any of Tenant's said personal property and any
alterations, additions, signs, trade fixtures and other fixtures,
equipment and decorations demanded by Landlord to be removed, said
property shall, at the option of Landlord, either be deemed abandoned and
become the exclusive property of Landlord, or Landlord shall have the
right to remove and store said property, at the expense of Tenant,
without further notice to or demand upon Tenant and hold Tenant
responsible for any and all charges and expenses incurred by Landlord
therefor. If Tenant shall leave any of said property on the Premises with
Landlord's consent, then Tenant shall have no further responsibilities
with respect to said property. If the Premises be not surrendered as and
when aforesaid and after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a three (3)
day notice to quit, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss or
liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the same,
including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding occupant
founded on such delay. Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
31. HOLDING OVER: Should Tenant remain in possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the Lease Term (or any renewal term hereof) without the
execution of a new lease, such holding over shall be deemed to have
created and be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month terminable on
thirty (30) days written notice by either party to the other, at a
monthly rental equal to the sum of (i) One and one-half times the monthly
installment of Base Rent payable during the last month of the Lease Term,
and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's proportionate share of real
estate taxes and assessments payable for the last Lease Year of the Lease
Term, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of
the Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim or counterclaims in a summary
proceeding or other action based on holdover except for mandatory or
compulsory counterclaims under the procedural laws of the state where the
Premises are located.
32. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES: Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed,
construed or implied as creating the relationship of principal and agent,
partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties
hereto, other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
33. NO WAIVER: The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict
performance of any provisions of this Lease, or the failure of Landlord
or Tenant to exercise any right, option or remedy hereby reserved shall
not be construed as a future waiver of any such provision, right, option
or remedy or as a waiver of a subsequent breach thereof.
34. NOTICES: Every notice, demand, request or other communications which may
be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and
shall be sent by United States Certified or Registered Mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be addressed:
(a) if to Landlord, to the Landlord's Address, and
(b) if to Tenant, to Tenant's Address; and the same shall be deemed
delivered when deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid,
or sent via federal express or other comparable overnight delivery
service. Either party may designate, by written notice to the other
party, any other address for such purposes.
35. RECORDING: Tenant agrees not to record this Lease or any memorandum
thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord.
36. PARTIAL INVALIDITY: If any provision of this Lease or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held void or
invalid, then the remainder of this Lease or the application of such
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
held void or invalid shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of
this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
37. PROVISIONS BINDING: Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease,
all covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Each
provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to
be both a covenant and a condition, and if there shall be more than one
Tenant, they shall all be bound, jointly and severally, by the provisions
of this Lease.
38. MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) This Lease, including the Exhibits and Riders attached hereto, sets
forth the entire agreement between the parties.
(b) All prior conversations or writings between the parties hereto or
their representatives are merged herein and extinguished.
(c) This Lease shall not be modified except by a writing signed by the
parties, nor may this Lease be cancelled by Tenant or the Premises
surrendered except with the express written authorization of
Landlord unless otherwise specifically provided herein.
(d) The initial submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall be
deemed submitted solely for Tenant's consideration and not for
acceptance and execution. Such submissions shall have no binding
force and effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of
the Premises, and shall not confer any rights or impose any
obligations upon either party. The submission by Landlord of this
Lease for execution by Tenant and the actual execution and delivery
thereof by Tenant to Landlord shall similarly have no binding force
and effect unless and until Landlord shall have executed this Lease
and a counterpart thereof shall have been delivered to Tenant.
(e) If any provision contained in any attached Rider or Exhibit is
inconsistent or in conflict with any printed provisions of this
Lease, the provision contained in such Rider or Exhibit shall
supersede said printed provision and shall be paramount and
superior.
(f) The captions, numbers and index appearing herein are inserted only
as a matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit,
construe or describe the scope or intent of any Paragraph, nor in
any way affect this Lease.
39. CONSENTS: Wherever in this Lease express provision is made that Tenant is
required to procure Landlord's written permission, consent or approval,
such written permission, consent or approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to any
damages for any withholding or delay of any such permission, consent or
approval, it being understood and agreed that Tenant's sole and only
remedies shall be limited to an action for summary judgment, an
injunction or declaratory judgment.
40. REGULATORY APPROVAL: Tenant's obligations hereunder are subject to
regulatory approval of this Lease by the Iowa Department of Banking.
41. COUNTERPARTS: This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have respectively signed and sealed this
Lease as of the date and year set forth below.
