SierraWest Bancorp
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in a condensed format and, therefore, do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
reflected in the financial statements. The results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications
have been made to prior period amounts to present them on a basis
consistent with classifications for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
2. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various
commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the financial
statements. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a
result of these transactions.
3. SERVICING ASSETS
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 125, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities. In accordance with the accounting standards provided by
this statement, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and
liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control
has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
On January 1, 1997, under provisions of SFAS 125, the Company
recognized servicing assets of $2.2 million. In addition excess
servicing assets of $12.2 million recognized on SBA loan sales made
before January 1, 1997 and mortgage servicing rights of $601 thousand
were reclassified to interest only strips receivable. The fair value of
the Company's interest only strips receivable at June 30, 1997 was
$18.1 million. Interest only strips receivable are classified as other
assets available for sale and are carried at fair value. The servicing
asset is carried at cost, less any required valuation allowance and is
classified as an other asset. The servicing asset is amortized over the
expected remaining life. The Company's amortization of the servicing
asset during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $104 thousand. The
fair value of the Company's servicing asset at June 30, 1997 based on
the current quoted market prices for similar instruments was estimated
at $2.2 million. The carrying value at this same date was also $2.2
million.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" (SFAS 128). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the
fourth quarter of 1997 and will restate at that time earnings per share
(EPS) data for prior periods to conform with SFAS 128. Earlier
application is not permitted.
SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires a
dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution
and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year
periods, basic EPS would have been $0.62 and $0.14 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, basic EPS would have been $1.01 and $0.35,
respectively. Diluted EPS under SFAS 128 would not have been
significantly different than fully diluted EPS currently reported for
the periods.
7
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, which requires that an enterprise report, by
major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets
during the period from nonowner sources, and No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which establishes
annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business
segments and related disclosures about its products, services,
geographic areas, and major customers. Adoption of these statements
will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows. Both statements are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
permitted.
6. RESTRUCTURING
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company engaged an outside
consulting firm to assist in identifying opportunities to reduce
operating expenses and to recommend more efficient methods of
operating. Although this engagement is ongoing, an accrual of $589
thousand was made in the second quarter, representing Management's
estimate of the cost of salaries and benefits payable to terminated
employees. This amount was charged to sundry losses. The actual amount
of these termination costs paid out through June 30, 1997 was $38
thousand. The total number of employees to be terminated in connection
with this reorganization is estimated at approximately thirty,
primarily in the areas of loan production and loan operations, but not
exclusively limited to a specific level or department. Through June 30,
1997, three employees had been terminated.
7. ACQUISITION OF MERCANTILE BANK
On June 30, 1997, the Company acquired Mercantile Bank ("Mercantile")
and merged it with and into SierraWest Bank ("SWB"). Total value
of the cash and stock transaction was $6.7 million, equivalent to
$20.0035 per Mercantile common share. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase. The results of operations of Mercantile have not
been combined with SWB for the six month ended June 30, 1997 since the
acquisition took place on this date. There are no contingent payments,
options or commitments in the acquisition agreement.
Mercantile, a business bank primarily servicing the commercial and real
estate industries, had total assets of $43 million and total equity of
$5 million at the date of the merger. The carrying value of
Mercantile's assets and liabilities at June 30, 1997 was not materially
different than the fair market value at that date. SWB recorded
intangible assets of $1,150 thousand in goodwill and a core deposit
intangible ("CDI") of $737 thousand. The Company intends to amortize
the goodwill over a period of fifteen years and the CDI over five
years, both on a straight-line basis.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company sold its real property in Carson City, Nevada on July 30,
1997. The property will be leased back for the Company's Carson City
branch for an initial term of thirteen years at an annual rate of $134
thousand for the first five years and increasing thereafter. The gross
sales price was $1,625,000. Book value of this property at June 30,
1997 was $1.4 million. The gain on sale is being amortized as a
reduction of future rentals.
On July 24, 1997, the Company's board of directors declared a 5% stock
dividend. The dividend is payable August 29, 1997 to shareholders of
record on August 20, 1997. All earnings per share calculations have
been restated to reflect this dividend.

Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased by $119.5 million from $447.9 million at December 31,
1996, to $567.4 million at June 30, 1997. This increase included increases of
$50.7 million in loans and loans held for sale, net of the allowance for
possible loan and lease losses, $41.0 million in federal funds sold, $16.9
million in investment securities, $7.8 million in other assets and $3.1 million
in cash and due from banks.
Effective June 30, 1997, the Company acquired Mercantile Bank, a business bank
based in Sacramento, California. Included at this date are Mercantile loans and
deposits of $26.9 million and $37.7 million, respectively. Goodwill and other
intangible assets recorded upon the acquisition of Mercantile totaled $1.9
million. Equity increased by $3.3 million as a result of the issuance of 170,790
shares of common stock upon the acquisition. Included in the overall asset
component increases are $8.3 million in federal funds sold, $4.4 million in
investment securities, $465 thousand in other assets and $3.0 million in cash
and due from banks related to the acquisition of Mercantile Bank. Of the
Company's total investment securities, $18.2 million were pledged at June 30,
1997.
The following table summarizes the Company's deposit and loan portfolios as of
June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996 (in thousands).

Included at June 30, 1997 are SBA and real estate loans held for sale of $9.4
million and $2.0 million, respectively.
9
Loans held for sale decreased $18.1 million, primarily due to the Company's
completion of its first securitization of unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a)
loans in June, 1997. Loans included in the sale were $51.4 million. Related to
this transaction the Company recorded a recourse obligation of $3.3 million.
This represents the present value of projected future losses, discounted using a
risk-free interest rate of 5.65%. In addition the Company's interest only strips
receivable, excluding the fair market value adjustment, increased by
approximately $4 million related to the securitization and discount on loans
decreased by approximately $2.6 million. Included in loans and leases are
discounts on the retained portion of government guaranteed loans of $3.3
million. This compares to $5.6 million at December 31, 1996. The net proceeds
from the transaction have been temporarily invested in federal funds sold. These
proceeds will be used to reduce the Company's out-of-area deposits and to help
fund loan growth.
Total loans at the Company's Sacramento branch increased by $25 million and
total deposits at this branch increased by $21 million during the first half of
1997. Loans and deposits at the Company's northern Nevada branches increased $11
million and $34 million, respectively.
Out-of-area certificates of deposit increased from $45.8 million at December 31,
1996 to $48.4 million at June 30, 1997.
Effective January 1, 1997, upon implementation of SFAS 125, the Company's excess
servicing receivable and purchased servicing rights were reclassified as a
servicing asset for that portion of the receivables that did not exceed
contractually specified servicing fees and interest only strips receivable for
the portion which exceeds contractually specified servicing fees. The amortized
book value of the servicing asset was $2.2 million at June 30, 1997. The
interest only strips receivable are measured like available-for-sale investments
in debt securities under SFAS 115. Included in other assets at June 30, 1997 are
interest only strips receivable with an estimated market value of $18.1 million.
This includes an unrealized gain of $1.5 million.
At June 30, 1997, the unrealized gain on interest only strips receivable and
investment securities available for sale, net of the related tax effect,
included $890 thousand related to the market value adjustment of the interest
only strips receivable. In addition, this balance included an unrealized loss of
$32 thousand related to mutual fund investments and an unrealized gain of $141
thousand related to other investment securities.
Bancorp paid dividends of sixteen cents per share in March 1997 compared to
fifteen cents per share in April 1996. During the six months ended June 30,
1997, $8.5 million of the Bancorp's 8 1/2% convertible debentures were converted
into 852 thousand shares of common stock. This represented the balance of
debentures outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996)
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by 250% from $956
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $3,344 thousand during the
current six month period. Non-interest income increased by $3,104 thousand and
net interest income increased by $2,827 thousand. The positive effect of these
items on net income was offset by a $1,536 thousand increase in the provision
for income taxes, a $1,267 thousand increase in non-interest expense and a $740
thousand increase in the provision for possible loan and lease losses.
Net Interest Income
The yield on average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was 5.90%. This compares to 6.27% for the first six months of 1996. The
decrease reflects an increase in the cost of NOW and Money Market accounts, a
decrease in the percentage of average loans to average interest-earning assets
and a decrease in loan yields. Offsetting the effect of the decrease in yield
was an increase in average interest-earning assets from $307 million during the
first six months of 1996 to $424 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Yields and interest earned, including loan fees for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, were as follows (in thousands except percent amounts):
Six Six

06/30/97 06/30/96
Average loans outstanding (1) $351,192 $260,458
Average yields 10.5% 10.8%
Amount of interest and origination fees earned $18,270 $13,983
(1)Amounts outstanding are the average of daily balances for the periods.
Excluding loan fees of $513 thousand and $492 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, yields on average loans outstanding were 10.2% and
10.4%, respectively. The prime rate (upon which a large portion of the Company's
loan portfolio is based), averaged 8.4% for the 1997 period and 8.3% for the
1996 period. The Company has been aggressive in growing its loan portfolio and
has encountered price competition in its service areas, particularly the
Sacramento and Reno markets. There is strong competition in these markets for
larger, higher quality loans, and the decrease in loan yields reflects this.
The Company has experienced an increase in its overall cost of deposits from
3.47% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 3.64% in the current period.
This includes the effect of an increase in rates paid on the Company's
interest-bearing transaction accounts during the comparison periods, from 2.5%
during the first half of 1996 to 2.9% during the fist six months of 1997. This
increase is consistent with market rates in the Company's service area.
Rates and amounts paid on average deposits including non-interest bearing

Provision for Possible Loan and Lease Losses
In evaluating the Company's loan loss reserve, management considers the credit
risk in the various loan categories in its portfolio. Historically, most of the
Company's loan losses have been in its commercial lending portfolio, which
includes SBA loans and local commercial loans. From inception of its SBA lending
program in 1983, the Company has sustained a relatively low level of losses from
these loans, averaging less than 0.5% of loans outstanding per year. Net losses
in 1995 for these loans were $575 thousand. During 1996, net losses in the SBA
loan portfolio decreased to $27 thousand. For the first half of 1997, net losses
were $394 thousand.
Most of the Company's other commercial loan losses have been for loans to
businesses within the Tahoe basin area and in its Nevada operations. The Company
believes that it has taken steps to minimize its commercial loan losses,
including centralization of lending approval and processing functions. It is
important for the Company to maintain good relations with local business
concerns and, to this end, it supports small local businesses with commercial
loans. It attempts to mitigate this risk through the loan review and approval
process.
The provision for loan losses was $1,400 thousand and $660 thousand for the
first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The provision in both years
includes the effect of growth in the loan portfolio. The increase in provision
in 1997 includes additional amounts to compensate for net loan losses of $563
thousand and reflects revised estimates of potential losses primarily related to
two large loans with a combined reserve of $339 thousand.
The allowance for possible loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was
1.66% at June 30, 1997, 1.41% at December 31, 1996, and 1.62% at June 30, 1996.
Net charge-offs were $563 thousand for the first six months of 1997. This
compares to net recoveries of $109 thousand during the six months ended June 30,
1996. The increase of .25% in the allowance for possible loan and lease losses
as a percentage of loans from December includes .12% related to the acquisition
of Mercantile Bank at June 30, 1997. Unguaranteed loans increased $47.0 million
and $35.6 million in the first half of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The 1997
increase is after the securitization and sale of $51.4 million of unguaranteed
portions of SBA loans. Guaranteed portions of loans at June 30, 1997 totaled
$43.6 million and at June 30, 1996 they totaled $39.7 million. The Company will
monitor its exposure to loan losses each quarter and adjust its level of
provision in the future to reflect changing circumstances. The Company expects
that its existing loan loss reserve will be adequate to provide for losses
inherent in the portfolio.
Of total gross loans and leases at June 30, 1997, $5.7 million were considered
to be impaired. The allowance for possible loan and lease losses included $792
thousand related to these loans. The average recorded investment in impaired
loans during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $5.4 million.
12
The following table sets forth the ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans, the
allowance for possible loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans and the ratio
of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses to total loans, as of the
dates indicated.

If the guaranteed portions of loans on nonaccrual status, which total $1.2
million, are excluded from the calculations, the ratio of nonaccrual loans to
total loans at June 30, 1997, declines to 1.2% and the allowance for possible
loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans increase to 141.4%. At June 30, 1996,
excluding guaranteed portions of loans on nonaccrual, these same ratios are 1.3%
and 122.3%.
The following table sets forth the amount of the Company's nonperforming loans
as of the dates indicated (amounts in thousands).

Other........................... 938 1,561 1,061 207 9
Restructured loans (in compliance
with modified terms)............. 748 62 275 78 194
The performance of the Company's loan portfolio is evaluated regularly by
management. The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status when any installment
of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in management's
opinion, the loan is well secured and the collection of principal and interest
is probable. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status even if principal or interest
is less than 90 days past due if management determines the ultimate collection
of principal or interest on the loan to be unlikely. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status, the Company's general policy is to reverse and charge against
current income previously accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on such
loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and
future collection of principal is deemed by management to be probable.
Although the level of nonperforming assets will depend on the future economic
environment, as of July 31, 1997, in addition to the assets disclosed in the
above chart, management of the Company has identified approximately $66 thousand
in potential problem loans about which it has serious doubts as to the ability
of the borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms and which may become
nonperforming assets, based on known information about possible credit problems
of the borrower.
Interest income on nonaccrual loans which would have been recognized if all such
loans had been current in accordance with their original terms totaled $323
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Interest income actually
recognized on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $131
thousand based on cash collections.

In allocating the Company's loan loss reserve, management has considered the
credit risk in the various loan categories in its portfolio. While every effort
has been made to allocate the reserve to specific categories of loans,
management believes that any breakdown or allocation of the loan loss reserve
into loan categories lends an appearance of exactness which does not exist, in
that the reserve is utilized as a single unallocated reserve available for
losses on all types of loans.
15
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income increased $3,104 thousand during the first six months of
1997 compared to the previous year's first six months.
Included in 1997 is a gain of approximately $2.6 million generated from the sale
and securitization of unguaranteed portions of SBA loans.
The net gain on the sale of government guaranteed loans increased from a loss of
$4 thousand during the first half of 1996 to $350 thousand for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Sales of government guaranteed loans were $14,936 thousand
in 1997 compared to $134 thousand in 1996. Of these sales, $9,176 thousand were
related to the sale of Business & Industry ("B & I") loans and $5,760 thousand
were related to the sale of SBA 7(a) loans. Because B&I loans tend to have a
lower yield than SBA loans, the Company intends to sell the government
guaranteed portion of the B&I loans it originates. SBA loan sales were made in
1997 primarily to facilitate the securitization.
Income related to the Company's servicing assets and interest only strips
receivable, net of the amortization of these assets, decreased by $196 thousand
from $2,111 thousand during the first six months of 1996 to $1,915 thousand for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. This decline includes payments on existing
loans, including normal amortization and prepayments.
Offsetting the decline in net servicing income was an increase in service charge
income of $294 thousand. This resulted from an increase in demand deposits and a
change in the structure of service charges effective February 1, 1997.
In the first half of 1997, the Company incurred a loss of $79 thousand on the
sale of mutual fund shares. This compares to a $6 thousand loss on the sale of
securities in 1996.
Non-interest Expense
The following table compares the various elements of non-interest expense as an
annualized percentage of total assets for the first six months of 1997 and 1996

------- ------- ------
$12,097 $10,830 $1,267 11.7%
======= ======= ======
The increase in salaries and benefits includes an increase of $468 thousand in
commission and incentive expense, resulting primarily from an increase in SBA
and B&I loan originations. Included in this increase are incentives of $74
thousand incurred as a result of the securitization. Salaries and benefits
include an accrual of $253 thousand for incentive payments to the Company's
senior management. There was no such accrual during the same period of 1996. The
rise in occupancy and equipment is primarily attributable to maintenance and
repair costs on an expanded computer hardware and data communications network,
as well as depreciation on an increased base of fixed assets. Included in
advertising expense is the cost of printing new product brochures totaling
approximately $50 thousand. Legal fees incurred in 1996 related primarily to a
litigation matter that was resolved in the Company's favor.
During the first quarter of 1997 the Company engaged an outside consulting
firm to assist in identifying opportunities to reduce operating expenses and to
recommend more efficient methods of operating. The increase in consulting costs
is primarily related to this engagement. Total cost of this engagement is
expected to be approximately $600 thousand, of which $257 thousand is included
in consulting expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a result of
this ongoing engagement, sundry losses in 1997 reflect an accrual of $589
thousand for the estimated salaries and benefits payable related to a reduction
in staffing.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes have been made at the prevailing statutory rates and
include the effect of items which are classified as permanent differences for
federal and state income tax. The provision for income taxes was $2,103 thousand
and $567 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
representing 38.6% and 37.2% of income before taxation for the respective
periods.
Results of Operations (Three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996)
Net income increased by $1,789 thousand from $388 thousand for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 to $2,177 thousand for the current quarter. The increase
included a $2,889 thousand increase in non-interest income and an increase of
$1,581 thousand in net interest income. Offsetting these items were increases of
$1,179 thousand in provision for income taxes, $800 thousand in provision for
possible loan and lease losses, and $702 thousand in non-interest expense.
17
Net Interest Income
The yield on net interest earning assets decreased from 6.29% during the second
quarter of 1996 to 5.93% during the three months ended June 30, 1997. As in the
six month comparison, yield was negatively affected by a decrease in the
percentage of loans to interest-earning assets, an increase in the average rate
paid on interest-bearing deposits, and a decrease in loan yields. This decline
in yield was offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets from $314
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $439 million for the current
period.
Yields and interest earned, including loan fees for the three months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (in thousands except percent amounts):
Three Three

06/30/97 06/30/96

Amount of interest and origination fees earned $9,580 $7,201
(1) Amounts outstanding are the average of daily balances for the periods.
Excluding loan fees of $206 thousand and $230 thousand for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, yields on average loans outstanding
were 10.2% and 10.4%. The prime rate (upon which a large portion of the
Company's loan portfolio is based) was 8.25% for the 1996 quarter and 8.5% for
the current quarter.
Consistent with the six-month comparison, loan yields have declined primarily
due to increased competition in the Company's service areas.
Rates and amounts paid on average deposits, including non-interest bearing
deposits for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, were as follows (in
thousands except percent amounts):

The Company prices its deposits consistent with market conditions in its service

18
Provision for Possible Loan and Lease Losses
The provision of $950 thousand in the second quarter of 1997 includes net
charge-offs of $374 thousand, significant growth in the Company's loan portfolio
and revised estimates of potential losses on two large credits. In the second
quarter of 1996, a provision of $150 thousand was deemed sufficient in light of
net recoveries of $96 thousand.
Non-interest Income
The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to the
securitization, which is discussed in the six-month comparison.
In the second quarter of 1997, sales of government guaranteed loans were $12,098
thousand, generating net gain of $257 thousand. There were no sales in the
second quarter of 1996.
Net servicing income decreased from $1,037 thousand during the second quarter of
1996 to $994 thousand in the current quarter.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $1,390 thousand and $211 thousand for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing 39.0% and
35.2%, of income before taxation for the respective periods. The 1996 percentage
is somewhat lower than in 1997 as 1996 pretax income includes a higher
percentage of tax exempt income.

SierraWest Bancorp
10-Q Filing
June 30, 1997
Part II.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
During 1987, SierraWest Bank ("the Bank"), took title, through
foreclosure, of a property located in Placer County which
subsequent to the Bank's sale of the property was determined to be
contaminated with a form of hydrocarbons. At the time it owned the
property, the Bank became aware of and investigated the status of
certain underground tanks that had existed on the property. The
Bank hired a consultant to study the tanks and properly seal them.
Several years later, and after resale of the property,
contamination was observed in the area of at least one of the
buried tanks and along an adjoining riverbank of the Yuba River.
The Bank, at the time of resale of the property, was not aware of
this contamination adjoining the tanks but was aware of the
existence of the tanks and disclosed this to its purchaser.
A formal plan of remediation has not been approved by the County
of Placer or the State Regional Water Quality Board but is being
drafted by a consultant. As a result of the discovery of the
contamination, two civil lawsuits were instituted against the Bank
and other prior owners by the current owner of the property,
Rainbow Holding Company, who is also the Bank's borrower. One of
the actions, the state court matter, was dismissed by agreement of
the parties. The other matter, filed in the summer of 1995 in the
U.S. District Court, Eastern District of California, is in
mediation. Informal mediation has occurred in June and July of
1997. A status hearing is set for September in the U.S. District
Court.
The Bank's external and internal counsel on this matter believe
that the Bank's share of the cost of remediation and the costs of
defense will not be material to the Bank's or the Company's
performance and will be within existing reserves established by
the Bank for this matter. It is also expected that clean-up of the
property will be undertaken during the spring of 1998 following
approval of a work plan.
In addition, the Company is subject to some minor pending and
threatened legal actions which arise out of the normal course of
business and, in the opinion of Management and the Company's
General Counsel, the disposition of these claims currently pending
will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

required by, and otherwise comply with, the terms of Section 6045(c). Escrow
Agent further agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer, Seller and their respective

cooperate in effecting such an exchange transaction if requested to do so by

property and without extending the Close of Escrow. In the event of such
exchange, Buyer shall indemnify and fully hold Seller harmless from any and all
liabilities, losses and expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by Seller
arising from such exchange, which liabilities, losses and expenses would not
have been incurred if there had not been an exchange of properties. This
indemnity and hold harmless shall survive the Closing. The inability of Buyer to
effect an exchange shall not relieve Buyer of the obligation to timely purchase
the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.

conditions herein set forth and the Lessee covenants as a material part of the
consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms,
covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed.

Lessee shall use the Premises in its capacity as and for the purpose of
a financial institution, including offices and any services reasonably related

this Lease, Lessor may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the
payment of any rent or other sum in default, the repair of any damage to the
Premises caused by Lessee or the payment of any other amount which Lessor may
spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Lessee's default or to

released from liability for the return of the Security Deposit or the accounting
therefor.
4. INITIAL LEASE TERM; RENEWAL LEASE TERM.
A. Initial Lease Term.
The initial term of this Lease shall commence on July 30, 1997 and
shall end on July 31, 2010. The parties hereto acknowledge that certain
obligations under various paragraphs of this Lease may commence prior to the
Lease term, including, but not limited to, occupancy, construction, hold
harmless obligations, liability insurance, and other obligations and the parties
agree to be bound by this Lease prior to commencement of the actual Lease term.
B. Optional Renewal Lease Term (Option To Renew).
Provided Lessee is not in default under this Lease when due and proper
exercise of the option is made, Lessee shall have a single option to renew and
extend the term of this Lease for an additional five (5) year period on the
terms then in effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall
2
provide Lessor written notice of Lessee's intention to extend the term at least
One Hundred Twenty (120) days in advance, but no more than One Hundred Eighty
(180) days in advance of the expiration of the initial term. In the event notice
to exercise said option is not received as provided above, then the option shall
automatically lapse and be of no further effect. Should the option be exercised
as stated above, the Rent during the option period will be as set forth in
Paragraph 3(B), above.
5. PROHIBITED USES OF PREMISES.
Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which is not within the permitted
use of the premises which will in any way increase the existing rate of or
affect any fire or other insurance upon the Premises or any of its contents, or
cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Premises or any part
thereof or any of its contents. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be
done in or about the Premises which will in any way allow the Premises to be
used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose; nor shall
Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on, or about the Premises.
Lessee shall not commit or allow to be committed any waste in or upon the
Premises. Lessee shall not keep animals or birds within the Premises and shall
not bring bicycles, motorcycles or other vehicles into areas not designated as
authorized for same.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW BY LESSEE.
Lessee shall not use the Premises, or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises, which will in any way conflict with any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter
be enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations
or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force and with the
requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar bodies now or
hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy
of the Premises excluding structural changes not related to or affected by
Lessee's improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee, whether
Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive
of that fact as between the Lessor and Lessee.
7. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS BY LESSEE AND ITS AGENTS.
Lessee shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions or
improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof without first obtaining
the prior written consent of Lessor, that consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. Lessee shall obtain all permits and approvals required for any such
alterations. Any alterations, additions or improvements to or of said Premises,
including, but not limited to, wall covering, paneling and built-in cabinet
work, but excepting movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall at once become a
part of the realty and belong to the Lessor and shall be surrendered with the
Premises. In the event Lessor consents in
3
writing to the making of any alterations, additions or improvements to the
Premises by Lessee, the same shall be made by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and
expense. Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to remove any or all
alterations, additions, improvements and partitions made by Lessee and restore
the Premises to the condition existing as of the commencement date by the
termination of this Lease, or a reasonable period thereafter, all at Lessee's
expense.
8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS BY LESSEE.
A. This Lease is intended to impose the obligation to perform and
the cost to complete all routine maintenance obligations upon
Lessee and to keep the Premises in good, sanitary and orderly
condition at all times. This shall include both the interior
and exterior of the building and the exterior landscaping, and
all building systems, including the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning system. Lessee shall keep in effect a
maintenance program with a licensed contractor which provides
for such routine maintenance of the HVAC system as is
recommended by the manufacturer.
B. By entry hereunder, Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted
the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition and
repair.
C. Lessee shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease hereof, surrender the Premises to the Lessor at the
end of the term (or renewal term) in good condition, broom
clean, ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond
the reasonable control of Lessee fully excepted.
D. Except as otherwise set forth in this lease, Lessor shall
repair and maintain the structural portions of the Premises,
including the exterior walls and roof, unless such maintenance
and repairs are caused in part or in whole by the act,
neglect, fault or omission of any duty by the Lessee, its
agents, servants, employees, invitees, or any damage caused by
breaking and entering, in which case Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the actual cost of such maintenance and repairs. On an
annual lease basis, Lessee shall contract with a duly licensed
service or maintenance contractor who shall inspect and
certify that the roof is watertight. In the event that the
structural repairs are not covered under Paragraph 13, they
shall be repaired or replaced by Lessor and amortized over 39
years and the pro rata portion shall be added to the rental
set forth in Paragraph 3 as additional rent. Lessor shall
advise the Lessee of the additional rental due in writing with
supporting documentation. Lessor shall not be liable for any
failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance
unless such failure shall persist for any unreasonable time
after written notice of the need of such repairs or
maintenance is given to Lessor by Lessee. Except as provided
in this Lease, there shall be no abatement of rent and no
liability of Lessor by reason of any injury to or
interference with Lessee's business arising from the making of
any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion
of the Premises or the Premises
4
or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.
Lessee waives the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense
under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in
effect.
9. LIENS.
Lessee shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises
are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials
furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Lessee. Lessor may require,
at Lessor's sole option, that Lessee shall provide to Lessor, at Lessee's sole
cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of any improvements, additions, or
alterations in the Premises which the Lessee desires to make, to insure Lessor
against any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure
completion of the work.
10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Transfer by merger or acquisition of SierraWest by another
financial institution (with the approval of appropriate
banking regulators) shall not be deemed an action coming
within this Paragraph or requiring the approval of Lessor.
B. Except as set forth in subparagraph A, above, Lessee shall not
either voluntarily, or by operation of law, assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any
interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any
part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto,
or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants and
invitees of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or
any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation
or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent
to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use
by another person. Consent to any such assignment or
subletting shall in no way relieve Lessee of any liability
under this Lease. Any such assignment or subletting without
such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of the
Lessor, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease.
In the event Lessor shall consent to a sublease or assignment
hereunder, Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable fees, not to
exceed Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00), incurred in
connection with the processing of documents necessary to the
giving of such consent.
11. HOLD HARMLESS.
Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor against and from any
and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises or from the conduct of
its business or from any activity, work, or other things done, permitted or
suffered by the Lessee in or about the Premises, and shall further indemnify and
hold harmless Lessor against and from any and all claims arising from any
5
breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Lessee's part to be
performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or negligence
of the Lessee, or any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of Lessee, and
from all costs, attorney's fees, and liabilities incurred in or about the
defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon and in
case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of such claim,
Lessee, upon notice from Lessor, shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury
to persons in, on, or about the Premises, from any cause other than Lessor's
negligence; and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against
Lessor. Lessee shall give prompt notice to Lessor in case of casualty or
accidents on the Premises.
Lessor or its agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage to
persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas,
electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Premises or from
the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein, or from the roof, street or
subsurface, or from any other place resulting from dampness or any other cause
whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Lessor, its agents,
servants or employees. Lessor or its agents shall not be liable for interference
with the light, air, or for any latent defect in the Premises.
12. SUBROGATION.
As long as their respective insurers so permit, Lessor and Lessee
hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for
any loss insured by fire, extended coverage and other property insurance
policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties. Each party shall
apply to their insurers to obtain said waivers. Each party shall obtain any
special endorsements, if required by their insurer to evidence compliance with
the aforementioned waiver.
13. INSURANCE.
A. Liability Insurance.
Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance insuring
Lessor and Lessee against any liability arising out of the ownership, use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such
insurance shall be in the amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or
death of one person in any one accident or occurrence and in the amount of not
less than $2,000,000.00 for injury or death of more than one (1) person in any
one (1) accident or occurrence. Such insurance shall further insure Lessor and
Lessee against liability for property damage of at least $100,000.00. The limit
of any such insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of the Lessee
hereunder. Lessee may provide this insurance under a blanket policy, provided
that said insurance shall have a Lessor's protective liability endorsement
attached thereto. If Lessee shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance,
Lessor may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain same, but at the
expense of Lessee. Insurance required hereunder shall
6
be in companies rated A- or better in "Best's Insurance Guide". Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor copies of policies of liability insurance required herein or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses satisfactory to Lessor. No policy shall be cancelable or subject
to reduction of coverage. All such policies shall be written as primary policies
not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Lessor may carry.
B. Casualty Insurance.
Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease "All Risk" property insurance insuring the Premises against
fire, lightning, vandalism and malicious mischief in an amount equal to the full
replacement cost thereof. Lessor shall be named as loss payee under such
policy(ies). Such insurance shall be applied toward the restoration of the
Premises.
C. Earthquake Coverage.
Lessee shall obtain suitable earthquake coverage, either as separate
policy of insurance or as an endorsement to the policy set forth in
subparagraphs A or B, above. Said coverage shall insure the Premises in an
amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof. Lessor shall be named as loss
payee under such policy(ies). Such insurance shall be applied toward the
restoration of the Premises.
14. COST OF UTILITIES AND RELATED SERVICES.
The cost of water, power, heat, air conditioning, sewer and trash
removal and janitorial services, as well as any and all other services such as
alarm, security, and fire control, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
together with any applicable taxes thereon.
15. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all
real and/or personal taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Premises
and which become due and payable during the term hereof. Lessee further agrees
to pay any tax or levy due upon any or all of Lessee's leasehold improvements,
equipment, furniture, fixtures, and any other personal property located in or
upon the Premises. By this Lease, Lessor hereby expressly and irrevocably grants
to Lessee the right to dispute, in any reasonable manner chosen by Lessee, any
assessment, levy, revaluation or redetermination related to the taxes or
assessments due under this provision as assessed by any governmental or
quasi-governmental agency in the name of Lessor.
16. RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and
regulations that Lessor shall from time to time reasonably promulgate and/or
modify.
7
17. HOLDING OVER.
If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration of the term hereof with the express written consent of
Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month-to-month at a rental equal
to One Hundred Twenty-Five Percent (125.00%) of the amount of the last Monthly
Rent, plus all other charges payable hereunder, and upon such holdover all the
terms hereof are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
18. ENTRY BY LESSOR.
After notifying Lessee and providing Lessee with the opportunity to
deactivate alarms and security devices, Lessor reserves and shall have at any
reasonable time the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to submit
said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of
non-responsibility, to repair the Premises and any portion of the Premises of
which the Premises are a part that Lessor may deem necessary or desirable,
without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other
necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to
be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be
unreasonably blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the
Lessee shall not be unreasonably interfered with. For security purposes, Lessee
may require that an attendant or employee supervise or monitor the actions of
Lessor, its agents or materialmen. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages or
for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Lessee's business, any
loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss
occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Lessor shall at all
times have and retain a key with which to unlock the main doors in and about the
Premises, excluding Lessee's vaults, safes and files, and Lessor shall have the
right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem proper to open said doors
in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to
Lessee except for any failure to exercise due care for Lessee's property and any
entry to the Premises obtained by Lessor by any of said means, or otherwise,
shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Lessee
from the Premises or any portion thereof.
19. LESSEE'S DEFAULT.
In the event that Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations in the
time and manner required hereunder, Lessor may at any time thereafter, in its
sole discretion, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in
the exercise of a right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such
default or breach exercise any and all remedies as hereafter set forth in the
following paragraph.
20. REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT.
This Lease is subject to the limitations that if, at any time during
the Lease term, an "Event of Default", as defined, shall occur, then upon such
Event of Default and the expiration of the
8
period of time prescribed in any required notice and prior to Lessee's curing an
existing default, Lessor shall, at its option without additional notice to
Lessee and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies hereunder or by
law, have the following rights and remedies.
A. In the event Lessee has abandoned the leased Premises, the Lease
shall continue in effect unless Lessor elects to terminate Lessee's
right to possession by written notice. Lessor may enforce all its
rights and remedies under the Lease, including the right to recover
rent as it becomes due. In no event shall Lessor's acts of maintenance
or preservation of the leased Premises, or Lessor's exercise of its
rights under any other Agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or the
appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Lessor to protect its
interest under this Lease, be deemed to constitute a termination of
Lessee's right to possession. Lessor may take whatever actions provided
herein, or as permitted by law, without terminating this Lease, and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect until and only if,
Lessor gives to Lessee written notice of its election to terminate this
Lease.
B. Lessor may elect, by written notice to Lessee, to terminate this
Lease at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and, in
such event Lessor may, at Lessor's option, declare this Lease and
Lessee's right to possession terminated, reenter the leased Premises,
remove Lessee's property therefrom without Court Order and, at Lessee's
expense, eject all persons from the property and recover damages from
Lessee as hereafter provided. If re-entry is made after abandonment by
Lessee, Lessor may consider any property belonging to Lessee and left
on the leased Premises to have been abandoned. Lessor may utilize or
dispose of such property without liability. Any such re-entry will be
permitted by Lessee without hindrance; and Lessor shall not thereby be
liable in damage for such re-entry or be guilty of trespass or forcible
entry.
C. At Lessee's expense, Lessor may elect to petition the First Judicial
District Court of the State of Nevada for, and be entitled as a matter
of right to, the appointment of a receiver who shall be vested with
such powers and authority as may be necessary to fully protect all the
rights herein granted to Lessor. Such receiver may take possession of
any buildings, improvements, building equipment, and personal property
belonging to Lessee and used in the conduct of the business then being
carried on by Lessee upon the leased Premises without compensation to
Lessee.
D. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease and Lessee's
right to possession in accordance with Subparagraph 22.B, or the same
are terminated by operation of law, Lessor may recover as damages from
Lessee the following:
(1) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent or
other sums due hereunder which had been earned at the time of
termination of the Lease; and
9
(2) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent and other sums due hereunder which would have
been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss of rent and
other sums due that Lessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; and
(3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent and other sums due hereunder for the balance of
the Lease term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
loss of such rent and other sums that Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; and
(4) Any other amounts, including attorney's fees and court
costs, necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment
proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform Lessee's
obligation under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course
of things would be likely to result therefrom.
E. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in
Subparagraphs 22(D)(1) and (2) above, shall be computed by allowing
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The "worth at the
time of award" of the amount referred to in Subparagraph 22(D)(3)
above, is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one
percent (1%).
F. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's breach of
this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to recover
damages under the foregoing provisions.
G. Nothing herein affects the right of Lessor to indemnification for
liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal
injuries or property damage as may be provided elsewhere in this Lease.
H. The foregoing remedies of Lessor shall be cumulative, or
alternative, as Lessor determines, and shall be in addition to all
rights and remedies now and hereafter provided or allowed by law.
I. No termination of this Lease shall cause a merger of the estates of
Lessor and Lessee, unless Lessor so elects.
J. An "Event of Default" hereunder shall be deemed to be any one (1) or
more of the following:
(1) If Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
10
(2) If any petition shall be filed against Lessee in any court, whether or
not pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any State, if any
bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement, or insolvency
proceedings, and Lessee shall thereafter be adjudicated bankrupt, and if such
proceeding shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the institution
of the same, except that such time shall be extended while such proceeding is
being diligently defended against by Lessee; or, if any such petition shall be
so filed by Lessee; or
(3) If Lessee shall fail to pay when due any rent due hereunder, and such
failure shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee; or
(4) If Lessee shall fail to pay any charge or sum required hereunder, and
such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee; or
(5) If Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other requirement of
this Lease and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after written
notice to Lessee, except if Lessee has commenced and is diligently proceeding to
cure the same.
21. DEFAULT BY LESSOR.
Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform
obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later
than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder
of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and
address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying
wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if
the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor
commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Lessee have the
right to terminate this Lease as a result of Lessor's default and Lessee's
remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.
22. RECONSTRUCTION.
In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered
by extended coverage insurance carried by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 13,
Lessor agrees to forthwith repair same upon receipt of such insurance proceeds,
and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Lessee shall
be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the Rent from the date of damage and
while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon
the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably
interfere with the business carried on by the Lessee in the Premises. If the
damage is due to the fault or neglect of Lessee or its employees, there shall be
no abatement of rent.
11
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
Lessor shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or
restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under
this Lease occurs during the last twenty-four months of the term of this Lease
or any extension thereof.
Lessor shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any leasehold
improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Lessee.
23. EMINENT DOMAIN.
If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be taken
or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of
eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, within
sixty (60) days after said taking, to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days
written notice. If either less than or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Premises are taken (and neither party elects to terminate as herein
provided), the Rent thereafter to be paid shall
12
be equitably reduced. In the event of any taking or appropriation whatsoever,
Lessor shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements which may be
given and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of any
unexpired term of this Lease.
24. PARKING AND COMMON AREAS.
Lessee and its employees, guests and invitees shall have the exclusive
use and control of all parking allowed on the Premises. Lessee may restrict
parking in any lawful and reasonable manner to insure that the parking is used
for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lessee, Lessee's employees, guests and
invitees. Lessee shall maintain the parking lot; driveways; parking lot
striping; parking lot traffic control signage; parking lot curbing and guttering
and related parking lot items in reasonable condition at all times and shall
engage in a periodic parking lot maintenance program to keep said items in good
and proper condition. Lessee shall perform any removal of snow, mud or water
necessary as a result of accumulation at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall be
delegated as Lessor's agent to pursue any adjoining landowner who may improperly
cause any damage to the parking lots or additional expense to Lessee related to
the parking areas.
25. SIGNS. Signage and sign installation shall be in accordance with those
specifications and requirements as approved periodically by Lessor, in Lessor's
reasonable discretion. Current signage now on, upon and within the exterior and
interior of the Premises, and replacement signage in comparable appearance and
size, is deemed acceptable to Lessor and shall be deemed to satisfy the Lessor's
criteria during the term of the Lease as set forth in Paragraph 3. Upon
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall, at its sole
expense, remove all signage and repair any damage caused by such removal;
provided, however, Lessee, at its option, may leave electrical connections and
monument or wall sign metal holder(s).
26. REMOVAL OF BANK EQUIPMENT. At the conclusion of the Lease, Lessee, at
its option, may remove the following bank equipment from the Premises:
A. All moveable desks, furniture, chairs, bookcases and counters.
B. All bank equipment including the vault door, automatic cash
dispensing machines, night depository drop boxes, drive thru
teller equipment and safe deposit boxes and their "nests".
C. All security devices, security cameras, sensors and detectors.
Lessee shall repair all damage caused by the removal of such equipment, and
shall patch and spot paint any holes or openings left in the exterior walls of
the Premises by such removal. However, this provision shall not be construed to
require Lessee to repaint the interior or exterior of the Premises or recarpet
the Premises so long as only reasonable wear and tear is experienced.
13
27. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
A. Plats and Riders.
Clauses, plats, riders, addendums and all exhibits referred to
herein, if any are incorporated herein.
B. Waiver.
The waiver by Lessor of any term, covenant or condition herein
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition
or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder
by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default
by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than
the failure of the Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding default at the time
of the acceptance of such rent.
C. Marginal Headings.
The marginal headings and titles to the paragraphs of this
Lease are not a part of the Lease and shall have no effect upon the
construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
D. Time.
Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
provisions in which performance is a factor.
E. Successors and Assigns.
The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to the
provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
F. Recordation.
Lessee shall not record this Lease. A short form memorandum
hereof may be recorded at the request of Lessor.
G. Quiet Possession.
Upon Lessee paying the rent reserved hereunder and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed
14
hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the
entire term hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.
H. Late Charges and Return Check Fee.
Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which
may be imposed upon Lessor by terms of any mortgage or trust deed
covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any
sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's
designee within Ten (10) days after the rent is due, the Lessee shall
pay to Lessor a late charge equal to the maximum amount permitted by
law and in the absence of any governing law, ten percent of such
overdue amount, plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor by reason
of Lessee's failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due
hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a
fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by
reason of the late payment by tenant. Acceptance of such late charges
by the Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Should a check
that has been issued by Lessee to Lessor in payment of any sums due
hereunder fail to clear, for whatever reason, Lessee agrees to pay
Lessor a Fifteen Dollar ($15.00) return check charge fee. Lessor may,
at Lessor's sole discretion and upon written or oral notice to Lessee,
require Lessee to issue cashier's checks or other appropriate forms of
collected funds to Lessor in payment of any sums due to Lessor by
Lessee hereunder.
I. Prior Agreements.
This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties
hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease,
and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matters
shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be
amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the
parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease
shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by
both parties hereto.
J. Inability to Perform.
This Lease and the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall
not be affected or impaired because the Lessor is unable to fulfill any
of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such
inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles, acts
of God, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Lessor.
15
K. Partial Invalidity.
Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid,
void, or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other
provision hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force
and effect.
L. Cumulative Remedies.
No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but
shall, whenever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law
or in equity.
M. Choice of Law.
This Lease shall be governed by laws of the State of Nevada.
N. Attorneys' Fees.
In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either
party against the other under this Lease the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover for the fees of its attorneys in such action or
proceeding, including costs of appeal, if any, in such amount as the
court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees. In addition, should it
be necessary for Lessor to employ legal counsel to enforce any of the
provisions herein contained, Lessee agrees to pay all attorneys' fees
and court costs reasonably incurred.
O. Sale of Premises by Lessor.
In the event of any sale of the Premises by Lessor, Lessor
shall be and is hereby entirely relieved of all liability under any and
all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this
Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after
the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any
subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further
agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or
between the parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed
to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Lessor
under this Lease.
P. Subordination and Attornment.
Upon request of the Lessor, Lessee will in writing subordinate
its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, to
any bank, insurance company or other lending institution, now or
hereafter in force against the Premises, and to all advances made or
hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. In the event any
proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the
exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made
by the Lessor covering the Premises, the Lessee shall attorn to the
purchaser
16
upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
Lessor under this Lease.
Q. Estoppel Certificate.
Lessor and Lessee agree from time to time within thirty (30)
days after request from the other, to deliver to the requesting party,
or such party's designee, an estoppel certificate stating that this
Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been
paid, the unexpired portion of this Lease, and that there are no
uncured defaults under the Lease by Lessor or Lessee except as
specified in the certificate. Failure by the receiving party to execute
and deliver such certificate shall constitute an acknowledgment by such
party that the statements included are true and correct without
exception. Lessor and Lessee intend that any statement delivered
pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee,
beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Premises or any
interest therein. The parties agree that the obligation to furnish such
estoppel certificates in a timely fashion is a material inducement for
the execution of the Lease. Lessor agrees from time to time within
thirty (30) days after request by Lessee to execute lien releases or
other similar documents required by any equipment lender or lessor in
connection with Lessee's leasing or acquisition of equipment, furniture
or other personal property for use at the Premises.
R. Notices.
All notices and demands which may or are to be required or
permitted to be given by either party on the other hereunder shall be
in writing. All notices and demands by the Lessor to the Lessee shall
be sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Lessee
at the Premises, and to the address hereinbelow, or to such other place
as Lessee may from time to time designate in a notice to the Lessor.
