Amended Lease the following inadvertently, omitted terms, conditions and
provisions:
Section 21.1 Tenant may use any and all fire equipment, including but not
limited to a fire truck, stationed by Pinal at the Leased Premises to provide
fire protection at the Leased Premises, and Tenant may enter into reciprocal
agreements in the use of said equipment to secure additional fire protection
services for the Leased Premises. The stationing of fire equipment is at the
discretion of Pinal and may be removed by Pinal at any time. If an emergency
arises whereby Pinal needs the fire equipment, Pinal shall have priority over
the use of the fire equipment. Pinal shall determine what constitutes an
emergency. After the emergency, the fire equipment may be returned to the Leased
Premises.

Section 21.2 Tenant shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance and
repair of the fire equipment, without cost to Pinal. Tenants shall maintain

responsible insurance carriers licensed to do business within the State of
Arizona motor vehicle liability insurance with a minimum coverage of a combined
single limit for bodily injury and property damages of not less than One Million

Pinal County, its agents, representatives, directors, officials, employees and
officers as Additional Insureds and shall specify that said insurance shall be

indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pinal, its officials, employees and agents
from all suits, actions, claims, demands, losses, costs or damages of every kind
and description, including any attorneys' fees, arbitration and litigation
expenses, which may be brought or made against or incurred by Pinal on account
of injuries, death or damages received or sustained by any person, persons or
property on account of any negligent or wilful act, omission, neglect or
misconduct of Evergreen, its employees, agents or anyone acting on its behalf
arising out of or caused by or as the result of the use of the fire equipment by
