Tenant shall render possession within ten (10) days after such notice issues; and, each party shall be released from all future obligations hereunder, subject to the provision that in the event Tenant is able to use a portion of the premises, Tenant shall pay prorated rental after destruction of a portion of said leased premises. In the event of such termination of this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may rebuild or not, according to its own wishes and needs. 10.3 Loss of Income Insurance. Tenant shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, deliver to Landlord proof of coverage for loss of income insurance; which insurance shall be kept and maintained by Tenant for the first 365 days of this lease term in the same amount of coverage as is presently kept and maintained by Landlord. Thereafter, Tenant shall keep and maintain that same amount of coverage as stated herein for loss of income insurance during the remainder of the lease term, including any extensions and renewals thereof. ARTICLE 11 CONDEMNATION 11.1 Total Condemnation. If either (i) the whole of the Leased Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the whole of the Leased Property renders the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate, Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section 11.3 and Tenant shall thereafter have no obligation to pay Rent for periods arising after the effective date of termination. 11.2 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any Temporary Condemnation of the Leased Property, this Agreement and Tenant's obligations to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as required under this Agreement shall be abated during the time of the Temporary Condemnation. 11.3 Allocation of Award. The total Award from the above referenced Condemnation of the Leased Property shall be distributed proportionally according to the total amount of loss suffered by Landlord and Tenant. Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant. In any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award at its own expense. 13 14 11.4 Effect on Other Leases.

The non-breaching party shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available at law and in equity as a result of the other party's breach of this Agreement. ARTICLE 13 HOLDING OVER 13.1 In the event Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent due Landlord based upon the terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE 14 LANDLORD'S NOTICE OBLIGATIONS; LANDLORD DEFAULT 14.1 Landlord Notice Obligation. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of any matters affecting the Leased Property of which Landlord receives written Notice or actual knowledge and, to the extent Tenant otherwise has no Notice or actual knowledge, Landlord shall be liable and indemnify Tenant for any liabilities arising from the failure to deliver such Notice to Tenant. 14.2 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults and sixty (60) days after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant's First Notice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant may at its election terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder to Landlord. 15 16 ARTICLE 15 PURCHASE RIGHTS 15.1 Option to Purchase. Tenant shall have an option to purchase the Leased Property upon the following terms and conditions: (a) Option to Purchase. Landlord herein grants Tenant an option to purchase the Leased Property for the total purchase price of $650,000. As consideration for the option, Tenant's parent company, Country Maid Financial, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Country Maid"), shall issue to Landlord 650 shares of its Class C Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") which shall be convertible, twelve (12) months after the issuance of the Preferred Stock, into common stock of Country Maid with a value of $130,000 at the time of conversion as stated in the Certificate of Designation of Country Maid, a copy of which is hereby acknowledged received by Landlord. The option is exercisable only during the last sixty (60) days of the fourth five-year term of the Lease. If Tenant elects not to lease the premises for the full twenty-year period, this option to purchase shall become null and void. 15.2 First Refusal Option to Purchase. In the event the Tenant does not exercise its option to purchase the Leased Property as provided in Section 15.1, Tenant shall have a first refusal option to purchase the Leased Property upon the same price, terms and conditions as Landlord shall propose to sell the Leased Property, or upon the same price, terms and conditions of any offer from a third party to purchase the Leased Property which Landlord intends to accept (or has accepted subject to Tenant's right of first refusal herein provided); provided, however, that, if the proposed purchase price is for other than cash, Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Leased Property on cash equivalent terms determined by the agreement of the parties or, if they cannot agree within twenty (20) Business Days, by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association then in effect. If, during the Term, Landlord reaches such agreement with a third party or proposes to offer the Leased Property for sale, Landlord shall promptly give written notice to Tenant of the purchase price and all other material terms and conditions of such agreement or proposed sale and Tenant shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to exercise Tenant's option to purchase by written notice to Landlord thereof. Failure of Tenant to respond within such 60-day period shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to purchase the Leased Property with respect to such offer. 15.3 If Tenant exercises its option under Section 15.2, the sale to Tenant shall be consummated upon the same terms and conditions as contained in such agreement or Landlord's notice of the proposed sale. If Tenant shall not exercise its option to purchase within the time period and in the manner above provided, Landlord shall be free to sell the Leased Property to such third party at the price and upon terms substantially similar to those offered to Tenant; provided however that the purchaser assumes the landlord's obligations of this Lease. The provisions of Sections 15.1 and 15.2 shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and any permitted successors and assigns of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement. This First Refusal Option to Purchase is exercisable during the terms of the Lease, as renewed if elected by Tenant pursuant to Article 2 of this Lease, and within sixty (60) days after the termination of said Lease. ARTICLE 16 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT 16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.4 and Article 19, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement. An assignment of this 16 17 Agreement shall not include any direct or indirect transfer of any interest in Tenant such that Tenant shall cease to be a wholly owned direct or partial sublease or any indirect Subsidiary of TIM or CMFI or any transaction pursuant to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another Entity or pursuant to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other Entity, as if such change in control or transaction were an assignment of this Agreement, and the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit collateral assignments or pledges of the capital stock of Tenant to Lending Institutions otherwise permitted by this Agreement. 16.2 If the Leased Property or any part thereof are sublet all Rent and payments from the sublessee shall be paid to the Tenant. Tenant shall remain responsible for the full payment of Rent as provided in Article 3. 16.3 No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder). No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use. 16.4 Permitted Sublease. Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord, sublease space at the Leased Property for newsstand, gift shop, parking garage, health club, restaurant, bar or commissary purposes or similar concessions in furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases do not demise, in the aggregate, in excess of 50% of the square footage of the Leased Property, will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee may reasonably require. ARTICLE 17 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES 17.1 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior Notice by either party, the party receiving such Notice shall furnish to the other an Officer's Certificate certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the modifications), the date to which the Rent has been paid, that no Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or an Event of Default shall exist, specifying in reasonable detail the nature thereof, and the steps being taken to remedy the same, and such additional information as the requesting party may reasonably request. Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by the requesting party, its lenders and any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Property or the leasehold estate. ARTICLE 18 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO INSPECT 18.1 Tenant shall permit Landlord and its authorized representatives to inspect the Leased Property during usual business hours without notice for the purposes of checking the maintenance and repair of the premises as Tenant is permitted or required to make pursuant to the terms of this Lease and also for the purpose of checking and determining the gross receipts of the Leased Property upon which the percentage rent payable to Landlord pursuant to Article 3 is determined, provided that any inspection 17 18 of the premises or Tenant's financial records by Landlord or its representatives will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and operation of the Leased Property and further provided that in the event of an emergency, Landlord and its representatives shall have the right to inspect at times other than during usual business hours, and, without notice. Tenant will keep upon the leased premises a record of its daily receipts and revenues from the operation of the motel and hospitality facility which shall be at all times made available to Landlord or its representatives to determine the accuracy of said receipts and the percentage rent payable by Tenant to Landlord. 18.2 Daily Income. Tenant shall each day deliver or fax to Landlord a copy of its daily written report of income which is sent from the leased premises to Tenant's principal office. In the event Tenant does not hereafter send a written report of daily revenue or income to its office or to another person, firm, or corporation, Tenant shall each day fax or deliver to Landlord a written statement verified by the manager or assistant manager of said leased premises accurately showing said daily results. ARTICLE 19 LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES 19.1 Leasehold Mortgages Authorized. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on one or more occasions, without Landlord's prior consent, Tenant may grant one or more Leasehold Mortgages or security interest on its leasehold in the Leased Property to one or more Lending Institutions to secure Indebtedness. 19.2 Notices to Landlord. Promptly upon the granting of any Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant or the applicable Leasehold Mortgagee shall give Notice to Landlord, such Notice to identify the name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee and to be accompanied by a copy of the applicable Leasehold Mortgage, as recorded. In the event of a change of address of a Leasehold Mortgagee or of any amendment to or assignment of a Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant or the applicable Leasehold Mortgagee shall promptly provide Notice of such new address, amendment or assignment to Landlord, together with a copy of each such amendment or assignment. 19.3 Cure by Leasehold Mortgagee. Any Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right, at any time during the Term hereof, while this Agreement is in full force and effect, to do any act required by Tenant hereunder, and all such acts done or performed shall be effective as to prevent a forfeiture of Tenant's rights hereunder as if the same had been done or performed by Tenant. ARTICLE 20 MOTEL AND HOSPITALITY FACILITY MORTGAGES 20.1 Landlord's Responsibilities. Landlord is solely responsible to pay any and all Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgages and Liens encumbering the Leased Property at the commencement of the Lease ("Encumbrances"). Without the written consent of the Tenant, Landlord will not further encumber the Leased Property. 20.2 Subordination of Lease. Any and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and all renewals and extensions thereof, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which were in effect at the commencement of the Lease. 18 19 ARTICLE 21 MISCELLANEOUS 21.1 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any term contained in this Agreement or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. 21.2 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant, now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by such party of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies. 21.3 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein. 21.4 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord's interest in the Leased Property. 21.5 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer. 21.6 Quiet Enjoyment.
