<br />cooperate with Lessee in any such contest to such extent as Lessee may reasonably request, it being
<br />~ understood, however, that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability for the payme t of any costs or
<br />expenses in connection with any proceeding brought by Lessee, and Lessee covenants ; to indemnify and
<br />save Lessor harmless from any such costs or expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any r~fund of any such

<br />Improvements. If all-risk insurance becomes unavailable, then Lessee shall insure the I provements with
<br />such coverage as is customary from time to time for comparable first-class buildings in e Salem, Oregon

<br />Lessee fails to do so within 15 days of the casualty and after 10 days' written notice from essor of its intent
<br />to do so. If the insurance proceeds (the "Proceeds") of any insurance on the Improve ents equal more
<br />than 1% of the replacement cost of the Improvements, then all Proceeds shall be pa' to a bank trust
<br />department (the "Trustee") as trustee for the parties. The Trustee shall be selected by Le sor and approved
<br />by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Proceeds are less than such
