LEASE AGREEMENT

This Lease Agreement (“Lease”, including the preceding Summary of Basic Lease Information referred to herein as the “Summary”), is made by and between SEMAHO, INC., a Colorado corporation (“Landlord”), and DMC GLOBAL INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) as of the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary.

1. REAL PROPERTY, BUILDING AND PREMISES

1.1 Premises, Building and Real Property. Upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 6 of the Summary (the “Premises”), which Premises are located in the Building (as hereinafter defined). The outline of the floor plan of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Premises are a part of the building known as The Views I located and addressed at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx (collectively, the “Building”). The Building, the parking facilities serving the Building from time to time (“Parking Facilities”), the outside plaza areas, land and other improvements surrounding the Building which are designated from time to time by Landlord as common areas appurtenant to or servicing the Building, and the land upon which any of the foregoing are situated, are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Real Property.” Tenant is hereby granted the right to the nonexclusive use of the common corridors and hallways, stairwells, elevators, restrooms and other public or common areas located within the Building and on the Real Property (“Common Areas”). Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to, or to change the location of elements of, the Commons Areas and the Real Property, provided in no event shall such alterations or additions materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use or enjoyment of, or access to, the Premises. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that that the Common Areas shall include throughout the Lease Term a fully-operational café serving prepared hot and cold food options during normal business hours of the Building, consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado.

1.2 Condition of the Premises. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty (express or implied) regarding (a) the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Real Property, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter, if applicable or (b) the suitability or fitness of the Premises, the Building or the Real Property for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that on the Delivery Date (as defined in Section 2.2 below), (i) the Premises shall be delivered in a clean and orderly fashion; and (ii) all Building systems serving the Premises (including HVAC (as defined in Section 6.1.1 below), electricity, roof and lighting) shall be in good working order. Landlord represents that to Landlord’s actual knowledge as of the Date of this Lease, the Premises, Building, and Real Property are in compliance with all applicable Laws (as defined in Section 5.2 below). Any upgrades to Building systems required by Tenant’s specific use shall be deducted from the Construction Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter).

1.3 Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building. For purposes of this Lease, “rentable square feet” shall mean “rentable area” calculated pursuant to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 – 2010 Method B (the “BOMA Standard”). As of the Date of this Lease, the Building contains 169,692 rentable square feet. During the period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending forty-five (45) days thereafter, Tenant shall have the right to have Tenant’s architect verify the rentable square footage of the Premises set forth in Section 6 of the Summary using the BOMA Standard. If the Tenant’s architect disagrees with Landlord’s space measurement as set forth in Section 6 of the Summary, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord in writing of the disagreement within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the 45-day period specified above, and then, for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord of such disagreement, Landlord and Tenant shall cause their respective space measurement consultants to meet and confer in good faith toward a resolution of such disagreement. If during such 30-day period the respective space measurement consultants agree on a final measurement of the Premises, then Landlord and Tenant shall memorialize such final measurement of the rentable square footage of the Premises in writing and such final measurement shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant for purposes of this Section 1.3. If the respective space measurement consultants are unable to agree on a final measurement of the Premises during such 30-day period, then the Landlord and Tenant shall jointly engage a third-party architect who has not previously worked for either of them and each party shall submit their calculation of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the third-party architect. The third-party architect shall be asked to select which calculation, Landlord or Tenant’s, more accurately measures the rentable square footage of the Premises, and such determination shall thereafter be binding on Landlord and Tenant for purposes of this Section 1.3. The cost of the third-party architect shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. If the final measurement of the rentable square footage of the Premises as determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 is different from the square footage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary, then Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease modifying all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease to conform to such corrected rentable square footage (including, without limitation, the amount of the “Rent” (as defined in Section 4.1 below). At any time after the initial Lease Term, Landlord’s discretion, the number of rentable square feet of the Premises and the Building shall be subject to verification from time to time by Landlord’s space measurement consultant in accordance with the BOMA Standard.

2. LEASE TERM

2.1 Initial Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the Date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be for the period of time set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary, and shall terminate upon the expiration of the Lease Term, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that if the Lease Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, then the first Lease Year shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and end on the last day of the twelfth full calendar month thereafter and the second and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month; and further provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the last day of the Lease Term (for example, if the Lease Commencement Date is April 15, the first Lease Year will be April 15 through April 30 of the following year, and each succeeding Lease Year will be May 1 through April 30).

2.2 Delivery Date; Delays and Notice of Lease Term Dates. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Improvements, which Landlord estimates to be January 1, 2019 (the “Estimated Delivery Date”). If the Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) has not occurred on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the Estimated Delivery Date and such delay is within Landlord’s reasonable control, then Tenant shall be entitled to a day for day abatement of Rent for each day accruing between the day following expiration of such 30-day period and the actual Delivery Date, which abatement shall be applied against Rent first due hereunder. If the Delivery Date has not occurred by the date that is ninety (90) days following the Estimated Delivery Date and such delay is within Landlord’s reasonable control, then, in addition to the remedy set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written noticed delivered to Landlord at any time thereafter but prior to the actual Delivery Date. The remedies set forth in this Section 2.2 shall be Tenant’s sole remedies for a delay in the Delivery Date beyond the Estimated Delivery Date. The date upon which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Improvements Substantially Complete pursuant to the terms of the Work Letter is be referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice of Lease Term dates, confirming, among other things, the Lease Commencement Date and the expiration date of this Lease, which notice, if accurate, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt thereof; if Tenant fails to execute and return such notice within such time period, the information contained in such notice shall be deemed correct and binding upon Tenant.

2.3 Option Term. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, the option to extend the Lease Term for one period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written notice (an “Option Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 2.3.2 below. Tenant shall not have the rights contained in this Section 2.3 if, (i) as of the date of the Option Notice or, at Landlord’s option, at any time between the delivery of the Option Notice and the commencement of the applicable Option Term, a Default (as defined in Section 19.1) by Tenant is continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods; or (ii) as of the date of the Option Notice, Tenant does not physically occupy substantially the entire Premises or Tenant has assigned this Lease or sublet more than 25% of the Premises pursuant to Article 14 below, other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 14.7 below).

2.3.1 Option Rent. The Base Rent (as defined in Section 3 below) payable by Tenant during each Option Term shall be equal to the fair market rent for the Premises and the parking passes, if applicable, as of the commencement date of the applicable Option Term (the “Option Rent”). The fair market rent shall be the rental rate, including all escalations, at which renewing tenants, as of the commencement of the applicable Option Term, are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a similar term, which comparable space is located in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado.

2.3.2 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.3 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following manner: (a) Tenant shall deliver an Option Notice to Landlord no later than six (6) months, and not earlier than nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant wishes to exercise its option; and (b) Landlord, after receipt of the Option Notice, shall deliver written notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant setting forth Landlord’s good faith determination of the Option Rent for the Option Term. If Tenant disagrees with the Option Rent set forth in Landlord’s Option Rent Notice, then the Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and confer in good faith to determine the Option Rent. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on Option Rent within thirty (30) days after their initial meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Option Rent shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.3.3 below. Failure of Tenant to timely deliver an Option Notice to Landlord shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s failure to exercise its option to extend and Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its option to extend, the Lease Term, subject to Section 2.3.3 below, shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the Base Rent shall be as indicated in the Option Rent Notice or as determined in accordance with Section 2.3.3, as applicable, and all references herein to the Lease Term shall include the Option Term.

2.3.3 Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant exercises its option to extend but objects to Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent as provided in Section 2.3.2 above, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon the Option Rent. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within the 30-day period set forth in Section 2.3.2 above, then within five (5) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Option Rent. If the higher of such estimates does not exceed the lower estimate by more than five percent (5%), then the Option Rent shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, within ten (10) days after the simultaneous submission of good faith estimates, the parties shall select an independent licensed commercial real estate broker with at least ten (10) years of experience in negotiating the leasing of office space in the metropolitan area in which the Building is located (a “Qualified Broker”). The Qualified Broker shall not have previously been engaged by either party within the previous five (5) years. If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Broker, then within a second period of five (5) days, each shall select a Qualified Broker and within five (5) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Brokers shall select a third Qualified Broker and the third Qualified Broker shall determine the Option Rent. If one party shall fail to select a Qualified Broker within the second five (5)-day period, then the Qualified Broker chosen by the other party shall determine the Option Rent. Within twenty (20) days after submission of the matter, the Qualified Broker shall determine the Option Rent by choosing whichever of the estimates submitted by Landlord and Tenant the Qualified Broker judges to be more accurate. The Qualified Broker shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its decision, which shall be final and binding. The fees of the Qualified Broker shall be borne equally by the parties. Each party shall pay the fees of its respective counsel.

3. BASE RENT

Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the management office of the Building (if applicable), or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, monthly installments of base rent as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary (“Base Rent”), in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, except to the extent expressly provided for in this Lease; provided, however, Landlord hereby abates Base Rent (but not Additional Rent, as defined in Section 4.1 below) for the Premises for the first six (6) full months of the Lease Term. In the event Tenant is in Default under this Lease beyond any applicable period of notice and cure, such abatement shall cease as of the date of such default, and, in the event Landlord exercises its remedy to terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s possession of the Premises for such Default as provided in Section, 20 below, Tenant shall immediately repay to Landlord all unamortized sums previously abated hereunder. The Base Rent for the seventh (7^th) full month of the Lease Term, and Tenant’s Share of NNN Charges (as defined in

Section 4.1 below) for the first (1^st) full month of the Lease Term, shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any rental or other payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental or other payment is for a period which is shorter than one month, then the rental or other payment for any such fractional month shall be prorated based on the actual number of days contained in such month.

4. ADDITIONAL RENT

4.1 Additional Rent. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, beginning on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as additional rent during the Lease Term Tenant’s Share of the annual Operating Expenses, Insurance Expenses, Utility Expenses and Tax Expenses allocated to the Building (the “NNN Charges”). Such additional rent, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as “Additional Rent.” The Base Rent and Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as the “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time and place as the Base Rent. In the event the Building is part of a multi-building project, Landlord may allocate Operating Expenses, Insurance Expenses, Utility Expenses and Tax Expenses applicable to the project as a whole among the buildings within such project on an equitable basis, consistently applied, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord hereby represents that the estimated NNN Charges for 2018 are $9.68 per rentable square foot, but such amount is an estimate only and is not a cap on NNN Charges for 2018 or binding on Landlord.

4.2 Definitions. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

4.2.1 “Expense Year” shall mean each calendar year in which any portion of the Lease Term falls, through and including the calendar year in which the Lease Term expires.

4.2.2 “Insurance Expenses” shall mean the cost of insurance carried by Landlord as required under this Lease or otherwise in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be required by any mortgagees or the lessor of any underlying or ground lease affecting the Real Property, including any deductibles thereunder.

4.2.3 “Operating Expenses” shall mean all actual and reasonable expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord incurs or which accrues during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, restoration or operation of the Real Property (other than Insurance Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utility Expenses), and the cost of any capital improvements or other costs (A) which are intended as a labor-saving device or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Real Property, or (B) made to the Real Property after the Lease Commencement Date that are required under any governmental law or regulation enacted or applicable to the Real Property after the Date of this Lease; provided, however, that if any such cost described in (A) or (B) above is a capital expenditure (“Included Capital Items”), such cost shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost) over its useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, consistently applied. If the Building is not fully occupied during any portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses or Utility Expenses (as defined below) for such Expense Year, employing sound accounting and management principles, consistently applied, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses or Utility Expenses that would have been paid had the Building been fully occupied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, the following items shall be excluded from Operating Expenses:

4.2.3.1 Costs of capital repairs, capital replacements, or capital improvements, other than Included Capital Items;

4.2.3.2 Costs of repair or replacement of the foundation, structural elements, exterior walls and the underground utilities of or serving the Premises or the Building;

4.2.3.3 Costs of the design and construction of tenant improvements to the Premises or the premises of other tenants;

4.2.3.7 Any bad debt loss, rent loss, or reserves for bad debts or rent loss;

4.2.3.8 Landlord’s general corporate overhead and general and administrative expenses and other costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity which constitutes the Landlord, as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Real Property, including partnership or corporate accounting and legal matters, costs of defending any lawsuits with any mortgagee (except as the actions of the Tenant may be in issue), costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of the Landlord’s interest in the Building, and costs incurred in connection with any disputes, including but not limited to any disputes between Landlord and its employees, between Landlord and Building management, or between Landlord and other tenants or occupants;

4.2.3.9 The wages and benefits of any employee who does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the Building unless such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect time spent on operating and managing the Building vis-à-vis time spent on matters unrelated to operating and managing the Building;

4.2.3.10 Costs, including permit, license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements made for new tenants in the Building or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants of the Building (excluding, however, such costs relating to any Common Areas of the Building or Parking Facilities);

4.2.3.11 Overhead and profit increment paid to the Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of the Landlord for services in the Building to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such services rendered by qualified, first-class unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis, and then only such excess shall be excluded from Operating Expenses;

4.2.3.12 Costs, other than those incurred in ordinary maintenance and repair, for sculpture, paintings, fountains or other objects of art;

4.2.3.13 Fees and reimbursements payable to Landlord (including its affiliates) for management of the Building which would ordinarily be included in a management fee, in excess of a commercially reasonable management fee that a landlord would have been required to pay to comparable independent established management companies operating other comparable buildings in comparable locations;

4.2.3.14 Costs to repair or rebuild after casualty loss (excluding deductibles under insurance policies carried by Landlord, which deductibles shall be included in Operating Expenses);

4.2.3.15 Any costs expressly excluded from Operating Expenses elsewhere in the Lease;

4.2.3.16 Costs arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, vendors, contractors, or providers of materials or services;

4.2.5 “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts, transaction privilege or any sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Real Property), which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Real Property or Landlord’s interest therein. Tax Expenses shall also include all franchise taxes, and similar taxes, including taxes payable by Landlord and attributable to amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease, including all Base Rent, Additional Rent, operating expense reimbursements and similar amounts. Tax Expenses shall not include any federal or state inheritance, general income, gift or estate taxes.

4.2.6 “Utility Expenses” shall mean the cost of supplying all utilities to the Real Property (other than utilities for which tenants of the Building are separately metered or are otherwise paid separately by tenants of the Building), including utilities for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for the Building and Common Areas.

4.2.7 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9 of the Summary.

4.3 Payment of Additional Rent.

Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated NNN Charges for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.1). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated NNN Charges set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.3.2 Statement of Actual Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement“) which shall state the Operating Expenses, Insurance Expenses, Utility Expenses and Tax Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of the NNN Charges. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due (or within thirty (30) days of receipt if the Lease Term has expired prior to Tenant’s receipt of the Statement), the full amount of Tenant’s Share of the NNN Charges for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, already paid by Tenant during such Expense Year as Estimated NNN Charges. In the event an overpayment is by Tenant is reflected in the Statement, such overpayment will be credited against the next installments of NNN Charges due, or in the event the Lease Term has expired, then any overpayment will be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Statement. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement or the Estimated Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

4.3.3 Tenant Audit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the amount of NNN Charges as reflected on a Statement increases by more than 2% from those of the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant may review Landlord’s records of the NNN Charges reflected on such Statement, provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of its intent to conduct an audit of such NNN Charges within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Statement pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above (the “Audit Election Period”); (b) there is no uncured Default under this Lease then in existence; (c) the audit shall be prepared by a reputable, independent certified public accounting firm selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, who shall not be compensated on a contingency fee basis; (d) the audit shall commence within thirty (30) days after Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant’s auditor and shall conclude within sixty (60) days after commencement; (e) the audit shall be conducted during Landlord’s normal business hours at the location where Landlord maintains its books and records, and shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord’s business; (f) Tenant and its audit firm shall treat any audit in a confidential manner and shall each execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement for Landlord’s benefit prior to commencing the audit; (g) the audit firm’s audit report shall, at no charge to Landlord, be submitted in draft form for Landlord’s review and comment before the final approved audit report is delivered to Landlord (which review and comment shall be within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of the same), and Landlord shall have the right to point out errors or make suggestions with respect to such audit report, and any appropriate comments or clarifications by Landlord which are accepted by Tenant’s auditor shall be incorporated into the final audit report, it being the intention of the parties that Landlord’s right to review is intended to prevent errors and avoid disputes and not to unduly influence Tenant’s auditor in the preparation of the final audit report; and (h) at the conclusion of any audit, Tenant and its employees, auditors and agents shall return all copies of supporting documentation made in connection with such audit. In the event that any final audit report reflects that Landlord has overstated NNN Charges by more than 5%, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such audit, not to exceed $2,500.00. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit, suspend, or xxxxx Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when due. Landlord shall credit any overpayment determined by the audit report against the next Rent due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refund such overpayment directly to Tenant within thirty (30) days of determination. Likewise, Tenant shall pay Landlord any underpayment determined by the final approved audit report within thirty (30) days of determination. The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not give written notice of its election to audit during the Audit Election Period, Landlord’s NNN Charges for the applicable calendar year as set forth in the applicable Statement shall be deemed approved for all purposes, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or contest the same. The right to audit granted hereunder shall not be available to any subtenant under a sublease of the Premises.

4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when: (a) said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord; (b) said taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Real Property (including the Parking Facilities); or (c) said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

5. USE OF PREMISES

5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for general office purposes consistent with the character of the Building, and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without Landlord’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

5.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises, the Building, the Parking Facilities or any other Common Areas, the Real Property or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the rules and regulations reasonably established by Landlord for the Real Property (the “Rules and Regulations”), or in violation of any federal, state or local laws, statute, ordinances, rules or regulations, or any recorded covenants, conditions and

restrictions or ground or underlying leases affecting the Real Property (collectively, “Laws”). The current Rules and Regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof. Tenant shall not use or allow Tenant Parties (as defined in Section 10.1 below) to use any part of the Premises, the Building or the Real Property for the storage, use, treatment, manufacture or sale of any Hazardous Material (as defined in Section 29.3 below).

5.3 Compliance With Laws. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any Law now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all Laws applicable to Tenant’s use and operation of the Premises (including without limitation the Americans With Disabilities Act), other than the making of structural changes or changes to the Systems and Equipment, the Building, or Common Areas, which changes will be made by Landlord at its expense, but subject to reimbursement as an Operating Expense to the extent permitted by Article 4; however, if such changes are required due to Tenant’s Alterations, the Improvements or the particular nature of Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, reimburse Landlord for the actual cost thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor. Tenant shall comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Building and such other reasonable rules and regulations (or modifications thereto) adopted by Landlord from time to time. The Rules and Regulations will be applied in an equitable manner as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with all Rules and Regulations.

5.4 Tenant’s Security Responsibilities. Tenant shall (a) lock the doors to the Premises and take other reasonable steps to secure the Premises and the personal property of Tenant and any Tenant Parties in the Common Areas and Parking Facilities of the Building and Real Property, from unlawful intrusion, theft, fire and other hazards; (b) keep and maintain in good working order all security and safety devices installed in the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant (such as locks, smoke detectors and burglar alarms); and (c) reasonably cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the Building on Building safety matters. Tenant acknowledges that (i) any security or safety measures employed by Landlord are for the protection of Landlord’s own interests; (ii) Landlord is not a guarantor of the security or safety of the Tenant Parties or their property; (iii) such security and safety matters are the responsibility of Tenant and local law enforcement authorities; and (iv) in no event shall Landlord be liable for damages, losses, claims, injury to persons or property or causes of action arising out of any theft, burglary, trespass or other entry into the Premises, the Building or the Real Property, except to the extent a result of Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.

6. SERVICES AND UTILITIES

6.1 Standard Tenant Services. Landlord shall provide the following services on all days during the Lease Term, unless otherwise stated below.

6.1.1 Subject to all Laws and governmental guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord shall provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) when necessary for normal comfort for normal office use in the Premises, consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado, from Monday through Friday, during the period from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HVAC service will not be supplied on the date of observation of New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day (and the Friday following Thanksgiving Day), Christmas Day and other locally or nationally recognized holidays (collectively, the “Holidays”).

6.1.2 Landlord shall provide adequate electrical wiring and facilities for normal general office use, and electricity at levels consistent with normal general office use, consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado. Such electricity may, upon Tenant’s request, be separately metered at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in such event, Tenant shall make payment directly to the entity providing such electricity. In the event the Premises is not separately metered, electricity (including for the HVAC System) shall be measured by a general meter and Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, upon billing by Landlord its pro rata portion of such metered charges based upon Landlord’s good faith allocation of such electrical costs, which allocation shall be based on Tenant’s Share. Such costs may be estimated monthly and reconciled promptly following the end of each Expense Year.

6.1.3 Landlord shall provide hot and cold city water from the regular Building outlets for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes.

6.1.4 Landlord shall provide janitorial services in the Premises consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado, except the date of observation of the Holidays, in and about the Premises and Common Areas.

6.1.5 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive automatic passenger elevator service, if the Building has an elevator, at all times, except in the event of an emergency.

6.1.6 Landlord shall provide window washing services for the exterior surface of the Building’s perimeter windows only, at intervals consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield (in no event less than biannually). Tenant shall be responsible for the cleaning of all other glass surfaces within the Premises.

6.1.7 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive freight elevator service subject to scheduling by Landlord.

6.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other than normal fractional horsepower office machines, or equipment or lighting other than building standard lights in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the electricity or water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If Tenant uses electricity, water or heat or air conditioning in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in

order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption, and Landlord may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord, on demand, including the cost of such additional metering devices. If Tenant desires to use HVAC during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease, if any, Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice, as Landlord shall from time to time establish as appropriate, of Tenant’s desired use and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at a reasonable hourly cost to Tenant, which cost may include Landlord’s reasonable allocation of the costs for electricity, water, sewage, water treatment, labor, metering, filtering, equipment depreciation, wear and tear and maintenance to provide such service. The current after-hours rate as of the Date of this Lease is $50.00 per hour. Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord for such use of additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any HVAC or other service necessary to accommodate a computer server room will be deemed to constitute an overstandard use and will be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2.

6.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord shall not be liable for any damages incurred by Tenant, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any utility or service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof (a “Service Failure”); and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. However, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive days as a result of a Service Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to correct, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 6th consecutive day of the Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated.

6.4 Additional Services. Landlord shall also have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional services which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, lamp replacement, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant, as Additional Rent, shall pay to Landlord upon billing, the sum of all actual costs to Landlord of such additional services.

6.5 Access. Except in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have access to the Building and the Parking Facilities twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, subject to such card-key or other security system as Landlord may establish from time to time.

7. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord, then Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s actual and reasonable costs or expenses, including Landlord’s overhead, arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice for same. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense and/or terminate this Lease or vacate the Premises under any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect. Landlord shall be responsible for all structural, exterior, roof, Building systems, Common Areas and Parking Facilities repair and maintenance during the Lease Term consistent with the standards maintained in other first-class office buildings in the Interlocken area of Broomfield, Colorado, the cost of which may be included in Operating Expenses to the extent provided in Section 4 of this Lease.

8. ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. The construction of the initial Improvements to the Premises, if any, shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to perform non-structural, interior Alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s consent, provided that (a) the cost of such Alterations does not exceed $20,000.00 in any one instance, (b) such Alterations are cosmetic in nature and do not require a permit, and (c) such Alterations are not visible from the exterior of the Premises or the Building (“Minor Alterations”). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any Minor Alterations not less than ten (10) days prior to commencement of the same.

8.2 Manner of Construction. Tenant shall have obtained Landlord’s approval of all plans, specifications, drawings, contractors and subcontractors prior to the commencement of Tenant’s construction of any Alterations; provided, however, a contractor of Landlord’s selection shall perform all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning work, and such work shall be performed at Tenant’s cost, which cost shall not exceed a competitive market rate for such services. Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in a reasonable amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require. Further, to the extent Landlord’s personnel is reasonably required to oversee Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its agent an oversight fee of $150.00 per hour. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable Laws and pursuant to a valid building permit (if applicable), issued by the appropriate governmental authorities, in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations and in a diligent, good and workmanlike manner. If such Alterations trigger a legal requirement upon Landlord to make any Alterations or improvements to the Building or Common Areas, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the cost of such Building or Common Area improvement. If, following such written notice, Tenant elects to proceed with the Alteration triggering such Building or Common Area improvement, then Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, reimburse Landlord for the actual cost thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of

governmental agencies or authorities. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion (or equivalent) to be posted (if applicable) and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County in which the Building is located in accordance with all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall deliver to the Building management office a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, to the extent applicable.

8.3 Landlord’s Property/Removal. All Alterations and fixtures which may be made, installed or placed in or about the Premises from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord upon installation; however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant at the time of approval of such Alterations (or within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of any Minor Alterations) and the initial Improvements constructed and installed pursuant to the Work Letter, require Tenant at Tenant’s expense to remove any such Alterations (including Minor Alterations), initial Improvements or fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the required removal of any Alterations, Minor Alterations, initial Improvements or fixtures, Landlord may do so and may charge the actual cost thereof to Tenant. This Section 8.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

8.4 Landlord’s Liability for Alterations. Landlord’s approval of any Alterations shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for Tenant’s use. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not an architect or engineer, and that the Alterations will be designed and/or constructed using independent architects, engineers, and contractors. Accordingly, Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that the applicable construction documents will comply with Laws or be free from errors or omissions, or that the Alterations will be free from defects, and Landlord will have no liability therefor.

8.5 Transmitter and Cables. Subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tenant at its sole expense may erect, maintain and operate a transmitter or antennae atop the Building; and install connecting cable, conduits and other electrical equipment within the shafts, ducts, and conduit in the Building. Tenant shall maintain all such equipment in good condition and repair at all times, shall remove it at the end of the Lease Term and shall repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

9. COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Real Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed within twenty (20) days after the date on which Tenant receives notice of such lien, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant upon demand.

10. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and Landlord’s partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs (collectively, “Indemnified Claims”), arising or resulting from (a) any negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or licensees, in or about the Premises, the Building or the Real Property (collectively, “Tenant Parties”); (b) any occurrence within the Premises except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors; and/or (c) any default by Tenant of any obligations on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere on the Real Property from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

10.2 Tenant’s Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain the following insurance coverages in the following amounts.

10.2.1 Commercial general liability (CGL) insurance and, if necessary, commercial umbrella insurance, on an occurrence basis, with a limit of not less than $3,000,000 each occurrence. CGL insurance shall be written on ISO occurrence form CG 00 01 01 96 (or a substitute form providing equivalent coverage) and shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury and advertising injury, liability assumed under an insured contract and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Sections 10.1 and 29.2 of this Lease. Landlord shall be included as an insured under the CGL policy, using ISO additional insured endorsement CG 20 11 or a substitute providing equivalent coverage, and under the commercial umbrella, if any. This insurance shall apply as primary insurance with respect to any other insurance or self-insurance programs afforded to Landlord. There shall be no endorsement or modification of the CGL to make it excess over other available insurance; alternatively, if the CGL states that it is excess or pro rata, the policy shall be endorsed to be primary with respect to the additional insured. Tenant waives all rights against Landlord and its agents, officers, directors and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by the commercial general liability or commercial umbrella liability insurance maintained pursuant to this agreement.

10.2.2 Commercial property insurance covering (a) all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, and (b) the Improvements and Alterations. Such insurance shall cover the perils insured under the ISO special causes of loss form (CP 10 30) and shall include coverage for vandalism and malicious mischief, terrorism coverage for both certified and non-certified acts of terrorism, water damage, sprinkler

leakage coverage, boiler and machinery (systems breakdown) and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage. The amount insured shall equal the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items. Any coinsurance requirement in the policy shall be eliminated through the attachment of an agreed amount endorsement, the activation of an agreed value option, or as is otherwise appropriate under the particular policy form. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damage to or loss of personal property sustained by Tenant, whether or not it is insured, even if such loss is caused by the negligence of Landlord, its employees, officers, directors or agents. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any recovery of damages against each other (including their employees, officers, directors, agents, or representatives) for loss or damage to the Building, tenant improvements and betterments, fixtures, equipment, and any other personal property to the extent covered by the commercial property insurance required above. If the commercial property insurance purchased by Tenant as required above does not allow the insured to waive rights of recovery against others prior to loss, Tenant shall cause them to be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation as required above.

10.2.3 Business income, business interruption and extra expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any business interruption or consequential loss sustained by Tenant, whether or not it is insured, even if such loss is caused by the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees, directors officers or contractors.

10.2.4 Worker’s compensation insurance providing statutory benefits to Tenant’s employees, employers liability insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident or $1,000,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease. Tenant waives all rights against Landlord and its agents, officers, directors, and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by the worker’s compensation and employers liability obtained by Tenant. Tenant shall obtain an endorsement to effect this waiver.

10.3 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease and Landlord makes no representation or guaranty that the insurance required under this Lease shall be sufficient or adequate to protect Tenant. All insurance shall (a) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State where the Building is located; and (b) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and the other additional insureds thereunder designated by Landlord. In addition, the insurance described in Section 10.2.1 above shall (i) name Landlord, any mortgage holder, and any other party specified by Landlord, as an additional insured; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance required by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; and (iv) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause acceptable to Landlord. The insurance described in Section 10.2.2 shall name Landlord and any other party specified by Landlord as loss-payee as to all items referred to in clause (b) of Section 10.2.2 and the insurance described in Sections 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 shall have deductibles reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver all policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before Landlord’s delivery of the Premises to Tenant or the Lease Commencement Date, whichever first occurs, and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. All policies and certificates shall provide that Landlord will be given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the insurer of any cancellation, termination, non-renewal or any material change in coverage as required in this Lease. The words “endeavor to” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives” shall be deleted from the policy or certificate form’s cancellation provision. Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may deny Tenant the right to occupy the Premises until such time as Tenant makes such deliveries (which denial shall have no effect upon the Lease Commencement Date) and/or procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of the bills therefor.

10.4 Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all reasonable insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises to the extent notice of such requirements is specifically delivered in writing by Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, and such conduct or use does not cease within two (2) business days after written notice is delivery by Landlord to Tenant, then Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Landlord agrees to maintain property insurance coverage on the Building at full replacement cost during the Lease Term.

10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage, worker’s compensation insurance and loss of income and extra expense insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage if such loss or damage is insurable under the property damage or loss of income and extra expense insurance required to be maintained hereunder (this waiver extends to deductibles under such insurance).

11. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas of the Building serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell and core of such Common Areas and the Premises (collectively, the “Base, Shell and Core”) to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by Law, the holder of a mortgage on the Real Property, the lessor of a ground or underlying lease, or any other modifications to the Common Areas reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or other casualty, Tenant shall assign to

Landlord all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant as to items of property described in clause (b) of Section 10.2.2, and Landlord shall return the Improvements and Alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of the damage. In the event any damage to the Building or Common Area occurs as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Parties, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, promptly on demand, for the costs incurred by Landlord in repairing such damage and the provisions of Section 10.5 regarding Landlord’s deductible shall not apply to such reimbursement obligation. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from damage resulting from fire or other casualty or Landlord’s repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent to the extent Landlord is reimbursed from the proceeds of rental interruption insurance purchased by Landlord as part of Operating Expenses, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (a) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (b) the holder of any mortgage on the Real Property or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Real Property shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; (c) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies; or (d) such damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term.

11.3 Tenant’s Option to Terminate. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of this Lease, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date Tenant learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Tenant may so elect only if the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (a) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of casualty; or (b) such damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term.

11.4 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property, and any statute, regulation or case law of the State of Colorado with respect to termination rights arising from damage or destruction shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Real Property.

12. NONWAIVER

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of a party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently. Any waiver by a party of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and then only for the time and in the manner specifically stated in such waiver. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term.

13. CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Real Property, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection with such taking, provided that Tenant shall have the right to make a separate claim for moving expenses or other claims permitted by applicable Law, but only to the extent such claims do not reduce Landlord’s award. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to any Colorado law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect, to seek termination of this Lease in the event of a taking.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord does not exercise its rights under Section 14.4 below, assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of Law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall

notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (a) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (b) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (c) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including a calculation of the Transfer Premium (as defined in Section 14.3 below) in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and a copy of all operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, and (d) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. If there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.1, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, in no event to exceed $1,500, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed Transfer or otherwise has breached its obligations under this Article 14, Tenant’s and such Transferee’s only remedy shall be to seek a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and, to the extent permitted by Law, such proposed Transferee waives all other remedies against Landlord, including without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages or to terminate this Lease.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent: (a) the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building, or would be a significantly less prestigious occupant of the Building than Tenant; (b) the Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease; (c) the Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; (d) the Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space; (e) the Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested; (f) the proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease; (g) the terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); (h) the proposed Transferee (i) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice; or (i) Landlord has not received assurances acceptable to Landlord that all past due amounts owing by Tenant to Landlord, if any, will be paid and all defaults on the part of Tenant, if any, will be cured prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer.

14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt from Transferee, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant from such Transferee. For purposes hereof, “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (a) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, and (b) any brokerage commissions, free rent, concessions, or similar inducements in connection with the Transfer (collectively, the “Subleasing Costs”). Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the one-time right in connection with any Transfer and at a reasonable time to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof, subject to a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord’s costs of such audit.

14.4 Landlord’s Option to Recapture Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, and except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 14.7 below), Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space from Tenant. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the effective date of the proposed Transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord delivers a recapture notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its Transfer Notice by delivering written notice of such rescission to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s recapture notice, in which event Tenant’s recapture notice shall be deemed null and void, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the entire Premises.

14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease.

14.6 Additional Transfers. Intentionally deleted.

14.7 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, to assign or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to any affiliate of Tenant (a “Permitted Transfer”). For purposes of this Section, an “affiliate” of Tenant shall mean any entity which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or an entity into which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; provided, however, that such affiliate must either (a) have a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the Date of this Lease, or (b) in Landlord’s commercially reasonable opinion, have sufficient assets to perform its obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Lease. For purpose of the definition of “affiliate,” the word “control” (including “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any corporation, partnership, or association, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of a particular corporation, partnership or association, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise. Tenant’s right hereunder are further conditioned on: (i) Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) any such affiliate shall assume and be bound by all obligations of Tenant for payment of all amounts of rental and other sums and the performance of all covenants required by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; (iii) any such affiliate intends to operate the Premises in accordance with the usage restrictions of this Lease; and (iv) not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of such transaction and copies of the documents evidencing such transaction and such other evidence as Landlord may reasonably require to establish that such transaction falls within the terms and provisions of this Section.

15. SURRENDER OF PREMISES AND REMOVAL OF TENANT’S PROPERTY

No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, broom clean condition, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all debris and rubbish, such items of furniture, equipment, and cabling installed by or at the request of Tenant that is not contained in protective conduit or metal raceway, other articles of personal property owned by Tenant and any property Landlord requires Tenant to remove pursuant to Section 8.3. Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any unused portion of Tenant’s Security Deposit may be applied to offset Landlord’s costs set forth in the preceding sentence. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s personal property from the Premises within 30 days after written notice, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) deem all or any part of Tenant’s personal property to be abandoned, and title to Tenant’s personal property (except with respect to any Hazardous Material) shall be deemed to be immediately vested in Landlord with no obligation on the part of Landlord to compensate Tenant for such property.

16. HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, provided that Base Rent shall at a monthly rate equal to the sum of 150% of the Base Rent due for the month immediately preceding the holdover. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Such holdover shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease Term and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, in addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant, or to perform improvements for a new tenant, as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within fifteen (15) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s inability to deliver possession, or perform improvements, such failure shall constitute a Default by Tenant hereunder; and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, any actual damages incurred by Landlord, directly or indirectly, by reason of Tenant’s remaining in possession after the expiration or termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at Law.

17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in such form as may be reasonably required by Landlord or any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Real Property, indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested.

18. SUBORDINATION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property and the Building, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lender or holder of any mortgage or trust deed upon any foreclosure, to the purchaser upon any foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of a ground or underlying lease upon the termination thereof, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such lender, purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such lender, purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm such attornment and/or the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases, so long as such instrument contains commercially reasonable non-disturbance language.

19. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

19.1 Tenant Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant hereunder (a “Default”):

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof when due hereunder within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such failure to pay; provided, however, Tenant shall only be entitled to two (2) such notices per calendar year, and thereafter any failure to pay Rent or any other charge when due shall be an automatic Default; or

19.1.2 Any failure by Tenant (other than a failure pursuant to Section 19.1.1 or 19.1.4) to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible; or

19.1.3 The entry of an order for relief with respect to Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease, the insolvency of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease or the inability of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease to pay its debts when due, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s or any guarantor’s assets or Tenant’s interest under this Lease that is not discharged within sixty (60) days; or

19.1.4 The failure of Tenant to execute any documents referenced in Article 17 or 18 within the time periods set forth in those Articles.

Any notice required under this Section 19.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under C.R.S. 13-40-104(1) or any similar or successor Law.

19.2 Landlord Default. Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice to Landlord (and any mortgagee of whom Tenant has been notified in writing) from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Tenant agrees that, prior to commencing a legal action against Landlord for failure to cure such default as provided in the preceding sentence, any mortgagee which received notice of such default shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure such default (unless such cure would take longer and such mortgagee has commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period). Upon any such uncured default by Landlord and any mortgagee which received notice of such default, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided in law or at equity; provided, however: (a) Tenant shall have no right to offset or xxxxx Rent in the event of any default by Landlord under this Lease, except to the extent offset rights are specifically provided to Tenant in this Lease; (b) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease; (c) Tenant’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the extent (i) Tenant has expressly waived in this Lease any of such rights or remedies and/or (ii) this Lease otherwise expressly limits Tenant’s rights or remedies; and (d) Landlord will not be liable for any consequential damages.

20. LANDLORD REMEDIES

20.1 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon any Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand (except as provided in Article 19) to pursue any of its rights and remedies at law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following remedies:

20.1.1 Without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Premises in accordance with applicable Law;

20.1.2 Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises as Landlord may reasonable see fit without thereby voiding or terminating this Lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized, at Tenant’s expense, to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to the Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord;

20.1.3 Terminate this Lease;

20.1.4 Remove and store, at Tenant’s expense, all the property in the Premises using such lawful force as may be necessary;

20.1.5 Cure such Default for Tenant at Tenant’s expense (plus a 5% administrative fee);

20.1.6 Offset any payment of sums Landlord would otherwise be obligated to pay to Tenant under this Lease or any other agreement against sums due Landlord from Tenant;

20.1.7 Require all future payments to be made by cashier’s check, money order, or wire transfer after the first time any check is returned for insufficient funds, or the second time any sum due hereunder is more than five (5) days late during a calendar year;

20.1.8 Apply any Security Deposit as permitted under this Lease; and/or

20.1.9 Recover such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Law, including any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom, subject to Landlord’s duty to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord’s damages.

20.1.10 No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless specifically stated in such notice. Landlord reserves the right following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice, in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in such notice.

20.2 Measure of Damages.

20.2.1 Calculation. If Landlord either terminates this Lease or terminates Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately surrender and vacate the Premises and pay Landlord on demand: (a) all Rent accrued through the end of the month in which the termination becomes effective; (b) interest on all unpaid Rent from the date due at a rate equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or the highest interest rate permitted by applicable Law; (c) all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in enforcing its rights and remedies under this Lease, including all reasonable legal expenses; (d) Costs of Reletting (as defined below); and (e) all Landlord’s Rental Damages (as defined below). In the event that Landlord relets the Premises for an amount greater than the Rent due during the Lease Term, Tenant shall not receive a credit for any such excess.

20.2.2 Definitions. “Costs of Reletting” shall include commercially reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting all or any portion of the Premises including, without limitation, the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, inventory, or other property, repairing and/or demolishing the Premises, removing and/or replacing Tenant’s signage and other fixtures, making the Premises ready for a new tenant, including the cost of advertising, commissions, architectural fees, legal fees, and leasehold improvements, and any allowances and/or concessions provided by Landlord. “Landlord’s Rental Damages” shall mean the total Rent which Landlord would have received under this Lease (had Tenant made all such Lease payments as required) for the remainder of the Lease Term minus the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves would be reasonably avoided pursuant to Section 20.4. below, or, if the Premises are relet, the actual rental value (not to be less than the Rent due during the Lease Term), both discounted to present value at the Prime Rate in effect upon the date of determination. For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building is located as such bank’s prime or base rate.

20.3 Tenant Not Relieved from Liabilities. Unless expressly provided in this Lease, the repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall not be relieved of its liabilities under this Lease, nor be entitled to any damages hereunder, based upon minor or immaterial errors in the exercise of Landlord’s remedies. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at law or in equity. If Tenant fails to pay any amount when due hereunder (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Landlord shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid item of Rent from the date initially due (without regard to any applicable grace period) at a rate equal to the rate set forth in Article 25 below. However, in no event shall the charges permitted under this Section 20.3 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered interest under applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. If any payment by Tenant of an amount deemed to be interest results in Tenant having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by Law, then it is the express intent of Landlord and Tenant that all the excess amounts collected by Landlord be credited against the other amounts owing by Tenant under this Lease. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s keys to the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall hold the Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and indemnify and defend such parties against, all claims that arise out of or in connection with a breach of this Lease, specifically including any violation of applicable Laws or Contamination (defined in Article 29) caused by Tenant.

20.4 Mitigation of Damages. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages by reletting the Premises. Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to do so if Landlord refuses to lease the Premises to a prospective new tenant with respect to whom Landlord would be entitled to withhold its consent pursuant to Article 14, or who (a) is an affiliate, parent, or subsidiary of Tenant; (b) is not acceptable to any mortgagee of Landlord; or (c) is unwilling to accept lease terms then proposed by Landlord, including: (i) leasing for a shorter term than remains under this Lease; (ii) re-configuring or combining the Premises with other space, (iii) taking all or only a part of the Premises; and/or (iv) substantially changing the use of the Premises. Notwithstanding Landlord’s duty to mitigate its damages as provided herein, Landlord shall not be obligated (1) to give any priority to reletting Tenant’s space in connection with its leasing of space in the Building or any complex of which the Building is a part, or (2) to accept below market rental rates for the Premises or any rate that would negatively impact the market rates for the Building. Listing the Premises with a broker in a manner consistent with the foregoing shall constitute prima facie evidence of reasonable efforts on the part of Landlord to relet the Premises.

20.5 Landlord’s Lien. Intentionally deleted.

20.6 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord or Tenant in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

21. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

22. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Concurrent with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount set forth in Section 11 of the Summary. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Lease Term. If Tenant Defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, to cure Tenant’s Default hereunder, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s Default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a Default under this Lease. Landlord shall return the Security Deposit (less any portion thereof used, applied or retained by Landlord as permitted herein) to Tenant within forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of all provisions of Law (other than C.R.S. 00-00-000, which will apply except as modified by this Article 22), now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises.

23. SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER PREMISES

Intentionally deleted.

24. SIGNS

24.1 Premises Identification and Building Directory Signage.

The location, quality, design, style, and size of such signage shall be consistent with the Landlord’s Building standard signage program and will comply with all applicable Laws (including the receipt of any necessary permits). Any change in Tenant’s signage shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

25. LATE CHARGES

If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee when said amount is due, then (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to seven percent (7%) of the amount due (but in no event shall such charge be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law) plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder, and (b) such unpaid amounts shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the prime rate established from time to time by the largest federally chartered banking institution in the State where the Building is located plus five percent (5%) per annum, provided that in no case shall such rate be higher than the highest rate permitted by applicable Law. The late charge and interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.

26. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT

All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, within the applicable notice and cure period for such performance that is required by the terms of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its right based upon any Default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the sums incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant’s reimbursement obligations under this Article 26 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent, shall not be deemed an unlawful entry, or an actual or constructive eviction, and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of

the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby, except to the extent a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

Landlord shall provide reasonable alternative parking arrangements during following any such closure or restriction. Any parking rates charged by Landlord for Tenant’s parking passes shall be exclusive of any parking tax or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking, which taxes and/or charges shall be paid directly by Tenant or the parking users, or, if directly imposed against Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such taxes and/or charges concurrent with its payment of the parking rates described herein.

Any remediation of Contamination caused by a Tenant Party or its contractors or invitees which is required by Law or which is deemed necessary by Landlord, in Landlord’s opinion, shall be performed by Landlord and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus a 5% administrative fee. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and the Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including testing, remediation and consultant and reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from (a) any Contamination on or about the Premises, Building or Real Property caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties; or (b) any breach of this Article 29 by Tenant.

29.3 Definitions.

For purposes of this Lease, claims arising from Contamination shall include diminution in value, restrictions on use, adverse impact on leasing space, and all costs of site investigation, remediation, removal, and restoration work, including response costs under CERCLA and similar statutes.

29.4 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant (i) Landlord has not received any notice that the Building or Real Property is contaminated by any Hazardous Materials; and (ii) to Landlord’s actual knowledge, no portion of the Real Property is being used for the treatment, storage, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any applicable Laws.

Tenant shall have no liability with respect to any Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Real Property, except to the extent caused by a Tenant Party or its contractors or invitees.

30.9 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease; therefore, in the event of an ambiguity in, or dispute regarding the interpretation of, this Lease, the interpretation of this Lease shall not be resolved by any rule of interpretation providing for interpretation against the party who caused the uncertainty to exist or against the draftsman.

Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent, provided, that Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant’s business operations in the Premises. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations.

31. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

31.1 Grant of Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 31, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an ongoing right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) to lease all, or a portion of, any space on the 3^rd floor in the Building (the “First Refusal Space”).

31.2 Procedure for Offer. If Landlord receives a bona fide written offer from an unaffiliated third party for the lease of all or any portion of the First Refusal Space (each, a “Bona Fide Offer”), and Landlord is willing to accept the Bona Fide Offer, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (the “First Refusal Notice”) of the Bona Fide Offer, and shall offer to lease to Tenant the First Refusal Space on the same terms and conditions of the Bona Fide Offer (collectively, the “Bona Fide Offer Terms”).

31.3 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal with respect to the applicable First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice, then within five business days after delivery of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right of first refusal with respect to the entire First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice on the Bona Fide Offer Terms (each, a “ROFR Exercise Notice”). Tenant must elect to exercise its Right of First Refusal, if at all, with respect to all of the First Refusal Space offered by Landlord to Tenant in the First Refusal Notice. Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion of the space offered in the First Refusal Notice, even if the space described in the First Refusal Notice comprises an area larger than the First Refusal Space or an area that does not comprise the entire First Refusal Space. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the 5-business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the First Refusal Space offered to Tenant in the First Refusal Notice to the unaffiliated third party on the applicable Bona Fide Offer Terms; provided, however, that in the event the economic terms of the deal with such unaffiliated third party change such that the economic terms (inclusive of tenant improvement allowance, rent concessions, etc.) is decreased by 10% or more, Landlord shall once again offer such First Refusal Space to Tenant on the new economic terms in accordance with this Section 31.

31.4 Other Terms and Conditions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the First Refusal Notice, Tenant shall take the First Refusal Space in its “AS IS” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation for free rent, leasehold improvements or for any other tenant inducements for the First Refusal Space. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the First Refusal Notice, the term of the lease for the applicable portion of the First Refusal Space, and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent for such First Refusal Space, shall commence upon the date of delivery of the First Refusal Space to Tenant and shall terminate on the date set forth in the First Refusal Notice.

31.5 Limitations. Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Refusal Space, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any Right of First Refusal by Tenant, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, (a) a Default by Tenant is continuing, or (b) Tenant shall have assigned this Lease or subleased to all or any portion of the Premises to any Transferee, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

31.6 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease any applicable First Refusal Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall, within 15 days after Tenant’s exercise thereof and delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a lease amendment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both parties, execute an amendment to this Lease for such First Refusal Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Refusal Notice and this Article 31.

On or before the date that is fifteen (15) days following the date Tenant approves, or is deemed to have approved, the Space Plans (the “Working Drawings Delivery Deadline”), Landlord shall provide to Tenant for its approval final working drawings, prepared by the Architect and Landlord’s preferred engineering group consisting of MDP Engineering, of all improvements that Tenant wishes to have installed in the Premises; such working drawings shall include the partition layout, ceiling plan, electrical outlets and switches, telephone outlets, drawings for any modifications to the mechanical, electrical, life safety and plumbing and any other systems of the Building, and detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the improvements called for under this Exhibit in accordance with all applicable Laws and suitable for permitting and construction.

3.2 Approval Process. Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted working drawings within five (5) business days after Landlord’s submission thereof. If Tenant disapproves of such working drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall, within three (3) business days after such notice, revise such working drawings in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit the revised working drawings to Tenant for its review and approval. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted working drawings within two (2) business days after its receipt thereof. This process shall be repeated until the working drawings have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it disapproves of the initial working drawings within five (5) business days (or, in the case of resubmitted working drawings, within two (2) business days) after the submission thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the working drawings in question.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the working drawings approved by Tenant and Landlord shall also be submitted by the Architect to Landlord’s Building architect, Kieding, to perform a “Peer Review” of such working drawings before the same are distributed to any contractors for bidding and pricing. Once Kieding has approved such working drawings, the same may be distributed to contractors for bidding in accordance with Section 4 below.

3.3 Landlord’s Approval; Performance of the Improvements. If any of the proposed construction work in the Premises will affect the Building’s structure or the Building’s systems, then the working drawings pertaining thereto must be approved by the Building’s engineer of record. Tenant’s approval of such working drawings shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (%4) they comply with all applicable Laws, and (%4) such working drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of the improvements and associated work in a good and workmanlike manner. As used herein, “Working Drawings” means the final working drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant and Kieding, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto, and “Improvements” means all improvements to be constructed in the Premises in accordance with and as indicated on the Working Drawings, together with any work required by governmental authorities to be made to other areas of the Building as a result of the improvements indicated by the Working Drawings. Landlord’s approval of the Working Drawings shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any applicable Laws, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord thereto.

B-1

Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, sign the Working Drawings to evidence its review and approval thereof. After the Working Drawings have been approved, Landlord shall cause the Improvements to be performed in accordance with the Working Drawings, in a good and workmanlike manner, lien-free, and in accordance with all applicable Laws. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SPACE PLANS, THE WORKING DRAWINGS OR THE IMPROVEMENTS (OR ANY OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE ARCHITECT, TENANT’S CONTRACTOR OR ANY OF THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS). ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD WITH RESPECT THERETO, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, MARKETABILITY, QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY NEGATED AND WAIVED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS. LANDLORD WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, OR HAVE CONTROL OR CHARGE OVER, THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE ARCHITECT OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. LANDLORD IS NOT ACTING AS A CONTRACTOR AND IS NOT GUARANTEEING THE SPACE PLANS, THE WORKING DRAWINGS OR THE IMPROVEMENTS.

4. Bidding of the Improvements; Performance of the Improvements. Prior to commencing the Improvements, Landlord shall competitively bid the Improvements to not less than three contractors selected by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant. Tenant may recommend a contractor to be included in the bidding process, so long as such contractor meets Landlord’s standard of qualifications and is otherwise approved by Landlord. Such bids shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant. If the estimated Total Construction Costs (as defined in Section 9 below) are expected to exceed the Construction Allowance, Tenant shall be allowed to review the submitted bids from such contractors to value engineer any of the Improvements requested by Tenant. In such case, Tenant shall notify Landlord of any items in the Working Drawings that Tenant desires to change within two (2) business days after Landlord’s submission thereof to Tenant. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its election within such two (2) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the bids. Within five (5) business days following Landlord’s submission of the initial construction bids to Tenant under the foregoing provisions (if applicable), Tenant shall have completed all of the following items: (a) finalized with Landlord’s Representative and the proposed contractor, the pricing of any requested revisions to the bids for the Improvements, and (b) approved in writing any overage in the Total Construction Costs in excess of the Construction Allowance, failing which each day after such five (5) business day period shall constitute a Tenant Delay Day (as defined in Section 6 below).

5. Change Orders. Tenant may initiate changes in the Improvements. Each such change (a “Change Order”) must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; however, if such requested Change Order would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) (a) the Building’s structure or the Building’s systems (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), (b) the exterior appearance of the Building, or (c) the appearance of the Building’s common areas or elevator lobby areas, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord shall, upon completion of the Improvements, cause to be prepared accurate architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing “as‑built” plans of the Improvements as constructed, which plans shall be incorporated into this Exhibit B by this reference for all purposes. If Tenant requests any changes to the Improvements described in the Space Plans or the Working Drawings, then Landlord shall inform Tenant in writing of the estimated increased costs and delay, if any, to the expected completion date of the Improvements. Tenant shall have a period of three (3) days to notify Landlord in writing if it does not wish to proceed with the changes. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that it does not wish to proceed with the changes, or fails to respond with such 3-day period, Tenant’s request for changes shall be null and void and Landlord shall not proceed with such changes. If Tenant timely elects to proceed with the changes, such increased costs and any additional design costs incurred in connection therewith as the result of any such change shall be added to the Total Construction Costs, and any such delay caused thereby shall be deemed a Tenant Delay Day.

6. Definitions. As used herein, a “Tenant Delay Day” means each day of delay in the performance of the Improvements that occurs (a) because Tenant fails to timely furnish any information or deliver or approve any required documents, pricing estimates, construction bids, and the like beyond the timeframes set forth herein, (b) because of any change by Tenant to the Space Plans or Working Drawings, (c) because Tenant fails to attend any meeting with Landlord, the Architect, any design professional, or any contractor, or their respective employees or representatives, as may be required or scheduled hereunder or otherwise necessary in connection with the preparation or completion of any construction documents, or in connection with the performance of the Improvements, (d) because of any specification by Tenant of materials or installations in addition to or other than Landlord’s standard finish-out materials or any materials that are not readily available, or (e) because Tenant or its employees, agents, or contractors otherwise delays completion of the Improvements. As used herein “Substantial Completion,” “Substantially Completed,” and any derivations thereof mean the Improvements in the Premises is substantially completed (as evidenced by receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy or equivalent) in accordance with the Working Drawings. Substantial Completion shall have occurred even though minor details of construction, decoration and mechanical adjustments remain to be completed and are identified on a punchlist pursuant to Section 7 below.

7. Walk-Through; Punchlist. When Landlord considers the Improvements in the Premises to be Substantially Completed, Landlord will notify Tenant and, within three (3) business days thereafter, Landlord’s representative and Tenant’s representative shall conduct a walk-through of the Premises and identify any necessary touch-up work, repairs and minor completion items that are necessary for final completion of the Improvements. Neither Landlord’s representative nor Tenant’s representative shall unreasonably withhold his or her agreement on punchlist items. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the contractor performing the Improvements to complete all punchlist items within thirty (30) days after agreement thereon; however, Landlord shall not be obligated to engage overtime labor in order to complete such items.

8. Construction Contract Warranty. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the warranty provided by any contractor performing the Improvements on Tenant’s behalf.

9. Excess Costs. Tenant shall pay the entire amount by which the Total Construction Costs (as hereinafter defined) exceed the Construction Allowance (such excess amount being referred to herein as the “Excess Amount”). Upon approval of the Working Drawings and Landlord’s selection of a contractor, Tenant shall promptly (a) execute a work order agreement prepared by Landlord which identifies such drawings and itemizes the Total Construction Costs and sets forth the Construction Allowance, and (b) pay to Landlord 90% of Landlord’s estimate of the Excess Amount. Upon Substantial Completion of the Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i)

B-1

any remaining unpaid portion of the Excess Amount, and (ii) any additional costs incurred by Landlord in performing the Improvements because of an event specified in the definition of Tenant Delay Day, within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. In the event of default of payment of any portion of the Excess Amount, Landlord (in addition to all other remedies) shall have the same rights as for an event of Default under the Lease. As used herein, “Total Construction Costs” means (1) the entire cost of performing the Improvements (including preparation of the Space Plans and Working Drawings and the final “as-built” plan of the Improvements, costs of construction labor and materials, engineering fees, related taxes and insurance costs, licenses, permits, certifications, surveys and other approvals required by applicable Law), and (2) the Construction Supervision Fee referenced in Section 10 below.

10. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $50.00 per rentable square foot contained in the Premises (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Improvements. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Construction Allowance shall not be disbursed to Tenant in cash, but shall be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Total Construction Costs, if, as, and when the cost of the Improvements is actually incurred and paid by Landlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Tenant’s election, a portion of the Construction Allowance remaining after payment of the cost of the Improvements (not to exceed $5.00 per rentable square foot contained in the Premises) may be disbursed by Landlord to Tenant for the following items and costs (collectively the “Allowance Items”): (a) costs incurred in connection with the purchase and/or installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises, and (b) moving expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with its move into the Premises. The portion of the Construction Allowance that may be used for the items described in this paragraph is referred to herein as the “Discretionary Allowance.”

Landlord shall make disbursements of the Discretionary Allowance to Tenant for the Allowance Items as follows: Subsequent to the Lease Commencement Date and continuing until the Allowance Deadline (as hereinafter defined), Tenant may make one single request from Landlord for that portion of the Discretionary Allowance to which Tenant is entitled by delivering a written request therefor to Landlord, which request shall include copies of invoices paid or to be paid by Tenant and with executed mechanic’s liens in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, when applicable, from any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, materialmen and/or vendors. Within forty-five (45) days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made payable to Tenant, in the amount of the Discretionary Allowance so requested; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be required to make more than one disbursement of the Discretionary Allowance.

The Construction Allowance must be used (that is, the Improvements must be fully complete and the Construction Allowance (including the portion consisting of the Discretionary Allowance) requested by Tenant, if not already applied by Landlord to the Total Construction Costs) on or before the date that is two (2) months after Substantial Completion (the “Allowance Deadline”), or such Construction Allowance or remaining portion thereof shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto, time being of the essence with respect thereto.

11. Construction Management. Landlord or its agent shall supervise the Improvements, make disbursements required to be made to the contractor, act as a liaison between the contractor and Tenant, and coordinate the relationship between the Improvements, the Building and the Building’s systems. In consideration for Landlord’s construction supervision services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to three percent (3%) of the hard construction costs included in the Improvements (the “Construction Supervision Fee”), which shall be deducted from the Construction Allowance.

12. Construction Representatives. Landlord’s and Tenant’s representatives for coordination of construction and approval of change orders will be as follows, provided that either party may change its representative upon written notice to the other:



Landlord’s Representative:	Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Senior Project Manager c/o Xxxxxxxxxxxx 0000 XXX Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 80111 Telephone: (000) 000-0000



Tenant’s Representative:	Xxxxx Nowell c/o DMC Global Xxx. Xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx Telephone: (000) 000-0000

13. Miscellaneous. To the extent not inconsistent with this Exhibit, the alteration provisions contained in the Lease shall govern the performance of the Improvements and Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective rights and obligations regarding the improvements installed pursuant thereto.
