        8.3   Abatement.    Lessee's obligations pursuant to Sections 8.1 shall abate until such time as Lessee has secured
all necessary governmental authority or permits needed to lawful conduct its operations on the Premises as contemplated by this Lease. Lessee's obligations under Section 8.1 shall also abate

  Condemnation  

        10.1 Eminent Domain; Cancellation.    If, at any time during the term of this Lease, all or any portion of the
Premises is taken, appropriated or condemned by reason of eminent domain, this Lease shall cease as of the date when possession may be legally taken. However, in the event of a partial taking, Lessee
may, at its option and if practical to do so, remain in possession of the part of the Premises remaining, for the remainder of the term of this Lease. Lessor shall notify Lessee immediately of any
proceeding instituted to condemn the Premises. In the event of condemnation, Lessee shall have the right to participate by intervening or otherwise in any condemnation claim or action respecting the
Premises, and shall be entitled to such condemnation award as Lessee's separate interest in the Premises may be established in the condemnation proceeding. No part of any award granted to Lessor shall
belong to Lessee, but Lessee shall be entitled to any award granted to Lessee on account of the taking of its separate interest in the Premises. 

ARTICLE XI
  Option to Extend  

        11.1 Option.    For the considerations herein contained, Lessor hereby grants to Lessee, provided Lessee is current
in the performance of all obligations under the terms of this Lease, and not in breach thereof, an exclusive option to extend the term of this Lease on a year to year basis, commencing on
May 1, 2006. In order to exercise such option to extend, Lessee shall give notice to Lessor of its election to exercise the option to extend, on or before January 1st of
each year after May 1, 2005. If Lessee fails to give notice of its election to exercise the option by that date, the option to extend shall thereupon terminate and shall be of no further force
and effect. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the extended term, except that the royalty price per ton, as set forth in Section 3.1 shall be adjusted
based upon changes in the market price of pink and red landscape rock and fines, and also taking into consideration the going rate for other leased pink and red landscape rock and fines operations in
Clark County. 

ARTICLE XII

shall fail to pay within thirty calendar days after the date when due any monthly royalty payment required under Article III; or 

        (b)   Lessee
shall fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease, and such default shall have continued for a period
of thirty calendar days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee, specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied. 

        12.2 Lessor's Right to Terminate.    Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease, pursuant to the
following:

termination to Lessee, which shall become effective immediately upon the giving of such notice. 

        12.3 Surrender of Possession.    Immediately upon termination of this Lease, either as a result of Lessee's default

        12.4 Additional Remedies.    In addition to or in substitution for the foregoing remedies, Lessor shall have all
such other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity on account of Lessee's default, including the right to enforce a landlord's lien. All rights and remedies accruing to Lessor shall be
cumulative; that is, Lessor may pursue all rights that the law and this Lease afford to it, in whatever order the Lessor desires and the law permits without being compelled to resort to any one remedy
in advance of any other. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as precluding Lessor from having any remedy that may be necessary to preserve its rights and its interest in the Premises and this
Lease. 

ARTICLE XIII

        13.1 Assignments Prohibited.    Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any interest herein, without the prior
