☐ Tenant work is required under Exhibit C.

No work may begin until the responsible party completes the plans, consent, permit, contractor, insurance, lien-protection, access, schedule, inspection, closeout, ownership, removal, restoration, and surrender requirements in Exhibit C or G.

6.3 Landlord Access

Exhibit G shall state the purposes, notice, hours, emergency procedure, escorts, confidentiality, security, interference limits, restoration, and cost allocation for Landlord access. This Lease grants no unrestricted entry right.

• leasehold financing, lender notices, and cure rights;
• subordination, nondisturbance, and attornment; and

If Exhibit H is incomplete, Tenant may not transfer an interest or occupancy right without Landlord's written consent, and the Lease creates no recapture, transfer-profit, leasehold-lien, or automatic-release right.

8. Defaults, Remedies, Possession, and Property

8.1 Default Schedule

Exhibit I shall identify each monetary and nonmonetary default, notice, cure, extended-cure standard, evidence, recurrence treatment, waiver rule, and consequence.

8.2 Remedies

Exhibit I shall state each selected monetary remedy, termination right, possession route, mitigation or reletting treatment, fee provision, security application, performance remedy, property-handling procedure, and evidence requirement.

This Lease grants Landlord no contractual right to dispossess Tenant through lockout, property removal, essential-service interruption, access obstruction, or another possession self-help method. Possession shall change only by Tenant's documented voluntary surrender or through the lawful process identified by Idaho counsel in Exhibit I.

A separate cure provision may allow Landlord to perform a specifically identified maintenance or safety obligation and charge a documented, allocated cost. That cure provision does not authorize interference with possession.

No future-rent acceleration, automatic fee award, administrative surcharge, confession of judgment, injunction, specific performance, liquidated damages, waiver of redemption, or exclusive remedy applies unless a completed, counsel-approved provision expressly and lawfully provides it.

8.3 Tenant Remedies

Exhibit K shall state the required surrender condition, removal and restoration duties, closeout evidence, keys and credentials, data and records, regulated materials, final meter readings, inspection process, continuing access, security reconciliation, and surviving obligations.

Holdover treatment:

☐ consensual periodic tenancy only under a separate signed writing

☐ completed holdover rent and damage provision in Exhibit K

No fixed holdover premium, periodic tenancy, or damages multiplier applies unless Exhibit K expressly provides it after counsel reviews the circumstances and controlling law.

11. Dispute Process

11.1 Governing Law

The parties select Idaho law after reviewing the Property, Premises, parties, use, performance locations, and any mandatory or overriding requirement.

11.2 Forum

Any rider shall identify scope, provider, rules, seat, excluded possession or property proceedings, interim-relief route, arbitrator count, fees, confidentiality, discovery, hearing, review, and judgment procedure.

11.4 Jury Provision

Consent to arbitration is not treated as authority for a standalone waiver in court litigation.

11.5 Fees and Costs

☐ each party bears its own fees and costs

☐ counsel-approved fee provision: [________________________________]

☐ a tribunal may allocate fees only under authority independently applicable to the dispute

12. General Terms

12.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers

The Lease and completed attachments are the parties' entire written agreement concerning the Premises. An amendment or waiver must be in a writing authenticated by the parties against whom it is enforced. A waiver of one event does not waive another event.

12.3 Counterparts and Signature Process

☐ wet signatures

☐ identified electronic-signature process: [________________________________]

Counsel shall confirm any formality applicable to the term, property, parties, guarantees, acknowledgments, recording, and attachments. This clause does not itself make an electronic copy an original for every filing or recording purpose.
