Complex which are made available on a non-exclusive basis for general use in common of

time to change the location or character of and to make alterations of or additions to the
Common Areas, and to repair and reconstruct the Common Areas.

the Primary Lease
Term commences, or any anniversary thereof, and ending on the preceding date one (1) year later.
F. “Premises” shall mean those certain premises located on the Third Floor of
the Building known as Suite 380 comprised of approximately 2,638 rentable square feet of space
as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and being part of the Building located

“Building”).
G. “Primaiy Lease Term ” shall mean a term of three (3) years.
H. “Rentable Area” shall mean approximately 63,754 rentable square feet of
space which is all rentable space in the Building. If there is a significant change in

modification to Building design, or similar cause which causes a reduction or increase thereto
on a permanent basis, Landlord shall make such adjustment in the computation as shall be
necessary
to provide for any such change. Tenant agrees that the Rentable Area may be recalculated
in the event that the Building is remeasured. Notwithstanding such remeasurement, unless
otherwise provided in this Lease, any statement of square footage that may have
been used in calculating Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is an approximation which
Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and the Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share based
thereon is not subject to revisions during the Primary Lease Term whether or not the actual
square footage is more

footage of space then being leased by Tenant (including any additional space) by
the Rentable Area and the resulting percentage shall become Tenant’s Pro Rata Share.
In consideration of the payment of Rent and the keeping and performance of the covenants
and agreements by Tenant, as hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby leases and demises unto

B. Notwithstanding the date set forth above, if Landlord is to complete any work in the
Premises and has
not done so on or before said date, the date in (A) above shall be delayed by
the number of days by which Landlord’s Work (as that term is defined in Paragraph 4 below)
was so delayed and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms. The delay of said date shall be in full satisfaction of any claims Tenant might
otherwise have as a result of such delay. If in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, the Lease commencement would occur on other than the first day of a calendar
month, the Lease Commencement Date shall
be delayed until the first day of the next calendar month and the Primary Lease Term shall be
measured from said
date; provided, however, during any period prior to such delayed Lease
Commencement Date, all terms and provisions set forth in this Lease shall commence on such
earlier date. In order to place in writing the exact dates of
commencement and termination of the term of this Lease, the parties agree to execute a
supplemental agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F, to become a
part hereof, setting forth the commencement and termination dates of the Term of this Lease
as determined under the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
C. Tenant will not be required to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent prior to January 1,2005.
3. RENT
A. Tenant shall begin to pay the Base Rent on the date the Primary Lease Term commences and

has in the payment of Base Rent. Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment of Base
Rent at the time it delivers the executed Lease to Landlord for signature. The Base Rent,
Additional Rent and all other amounts due to be paid under this Lease may
be referred to herein collectively as “Rent”.

Period | Monthly Base Rent | |||
0110112005-1213112005 |
$ | 3,187.58 | ||
0000000000-1213112006 |

4. COMPLETION OR REMODELING OF THE PREMISES
A. If Landlord has agreed to complete finish work in the Premises, such work shall be
initially completed
in accordance with Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Work Agreement”) and
such work may
be referred to herein as “Landlord’s Work”. Other than as set forth in the Work Agreement,
Landlord shall have no obligation for completion or remodeling of the Premises and the Tenant
shall accept the Premises in its “as is” condition on the Lease Commencement Date. If
Landlord is to complete or remodel the Premises and if the Premises are not “Ready for
Occupancy” as hereinafter defined on the date the Primary Lease Term is to begin, other than due
to delays caused by Tenant, its agents or employees, Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent, its
Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses, and other sums owing hereunder shall not commence until
the Premises are Ready for Occupancy; provided, however, this Lease and all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements herein
contained other than Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent and other sums owing hereunder
shall be in full force and effect. If Tenant takes possession of all or any part of the
Premises prior to the date the Premises are Ready for Occupancy for the purpose of
conducting its usual business therein, Tenant shall pay all Base Rent and other amounts
owing hereunder. “Ready for Occupancy” as used herein shall mean the date that
Landlord has substantially completed the Premises or any remodeling work to be performed by
Landlord to the extent agreed to in
the Work Agreement. The certificate of the architect (or other representative
of the Landlord) in charge of supervising the completion or remodeling of the Premises
shall control conclusively the date upon which the Premises are Ready for Occupancy, and
the obligation to pay Rent begins. In addition to the above, if Landlord is delayed in
delivering the Premises to Tenant due to the failure of a prior occupant to vacate the same,
then the obligation for the payment of Rent and the commencement of the Primary Lease
Term hereof shall also be postponed and such postponement shall be in full satisfaction of
all claims which Tenant might otherwise have by reason of such delay of delivery.
B. Except as may be provided in the Work Agreement attached hereto, taking possession of the
Premises
by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant that the Premises as of the date of taking
possession were in
the condition agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant and as acknowledgment of satisfactory
completion of the
Landlord’s Work.

B. Tenantshall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of any increases in Operating
Expenses in Operating Expenses in excess of Base Operating Expenses during each calendar year
of the Primary Lease Term and any extension thereof. All amounts required to be paid by Tenant
shall be paid within krty (30) days following billing therefor by Landlord.
Beginning with the first month of the Primary Lease Term and continuing each month
thereafter during the Primary Lease Term, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
at the same time
as the Base Rent is paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1112) of Landlord’s estimate (as
determined by Landlord’s Accountants) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the projected increases in
Operating Expenses for the particular calendar year in excess of the Base Operating Expenses,
with a final adjustment to be made between the parties at a later date for said calendar year.
(1) As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar year during the
Primary Lease Term,
or any extension thereof, including the first calendar year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a
statement prepared by a
representative of Landlord setting forth the exact amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the
increase, if any, in the Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed over the Base
Operating Expenses. Beginning with said statement for the second calendar year, it shall also
set forth the difference, if any, between Tenant’s actual Pro Rata Share of the increase in
Operating Expenses for such calendar year just completed over the Base Operating
Expenses and the estimated amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such increases on the basis of
which Tenant’s monthly Rent was computed for such particular calendar year. Each such statement
shall also set forth the projected increase, if any, in Operating Expenses for the new
calendar year over the Base Operating Expenses and the corresponding increase in Tenant’s
monthly Rent for such new calendar year above the Rent paid by Tenant for the immediately
preceding calendar year computed in accordance with the foregoing provisions; provided, however,
in no event will the rental to be paid by Tenant hereunder ever be less than the Base Rent as it is
to be adjusted for such
calendar year. To the extent that Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the
period covered by such statement is different from the estimated amount upon which Tenant
paid Rent during the calendar year just completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
difference in cash within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of such statement from
Landlord or receive a credit on the next month’s rental owing hereunder, as the case may be. Until
Tenant receives such statement, Tenant’s monthly Rent for the new calendar year shall continue to
be paid at the rate paid for the particular calendar year just completed, but Tenant shall
commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installments of Rent on the basis of such statement
beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such
statement. Moreover, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or deduct from the Rent,
as the case may be, on the date required for the first payment of Rent, as adjusted, the
difference, if any, between the monthly installments of Rent so adjusted for the new calendar
year and the monthly installments of Rent actually paid during the new calendar year.
(2) In addition to the above, if, during any particular calendar year,
there is a change in the information on which Landlord’s Accountants based the estimate
upon which Tenant is then making its estimated Rent payments so that such estimate furnished to
Tenant is no longer accurate, Landlord shall be permitted to revise such estimate by notifying
Tenant and there shall be such adjustments made in the monthly Rent on the first day of
the month following the serving of such statement on Tenant as shall be necessary by
either increasing or
decreasing, as the case may be, the amount of monthly Rent then being paid by Tenant
for the balance of the calendar year (but in no event shall any decrease result in a reduction
of the Rent below the Base Rent and all amounts of Additional Rent, as adjusted for such
calendar year), as well as an appropriate adjustment in cash based upon the amount theretofore
paid by Tenant during such particular calendar year pursuant to the prior estimate.
(3) In the event the Rentable Area is not fully occupied during any particular
calendar year, Landlord’s Accountants may adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected
by the occupancy rates for the particular calendar year, or portion thereof, as the case may be,
to reflect an occupancy of not less than ninety-five percent (95%)of such Rentable Area.
(4) If the calendar year is not concurrent with the Lease Year, Landlord shall,
at any time during the Primary Lease Term, or any extension thereof, make all adjustments
provided for in this Paragraph 5 with an appropriate proration for the Lease Year in which
the Primary Lease Term or any extension begins or ends. In addition, Landlord may elect at
any time during the Primary Lease Term or any extensions thereof to make all
adjustments provided for in this Paragraph 5 on a Fiscal Year basis with an appropriate
proration for the calendar year in which such conversion is made and in which the term ends and
all references in ths Lease to calendar year shall thereafter be deemed to refer to “Fiscal
Year”.
(5) Landlord’s and Tenant’s responsibilities with respect to the Operating Expense
adjustment described herein shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease.
C. If Tenant shall dispute the amount of an adjustment submitted by
Landlord’s Accountants or the proposed estimate on the basis of which Tenant’s Rent is
to be adjusted as provided in subparagraph B above, Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice of such objection within thn-ty (30) days after Landlord’s Accountants advise Tenant of
such adjustment or proposed increase or decrease. If Tenant does not give Landlord such written
notice within such time, Tenant shall have waived its right to dispute the amounts so
determined. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant shall have the right to engage its own certified
public accountants (“Tenant’s Accountants”) for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the
statement complained of or the reasonableness of the estimated increase or decrease. If
Tenant’s Accountants determine that an error has been made, Landlord’s Accountants and
Tenant’s Accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which the parties settle
the dispute by judicial action or
in such other manner as they agree. All costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining its own accountants
shall be paid for
by Tenant unless Tenant’s Accountants disclose an error, acknowledged by Landlord’s Accountants
(or found to
have occurred in a judicial action), of more than seven percent (7%) in the
computation of the total amount of Operating Expenses as set forth in the statement submitted
by Landlord’s Accountants which is challenged in which event Landlord shall pay the reasonable
costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such audit but excluding any such costs billed on a
contingency fee basis. Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute over any particular
statement, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the amount of the adjusted monthly
installments of Rent determined by Landlord’s Accountants until the adjustment has been
determined to be incorrect as aforesaid. If it shall be determined that any portion
of the Operating Expenses were not properly chargeable to Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly
credit or refund the appropriate sum to Tenant. Delay by Landlord or Landlord’s
Accountants in submitting any statement contemplated herein for any calendar year shall not
affect the provisions of this Paragraph
5 or constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights as set forth herein for said calendar year
or any subsequent calendar years during the Primary Lease Term and any extensions thereof. All
information disclosed to or discovered by Tenant or Tenant’s Accountants must be kept
strictly confidential and may not be disclosed except in a judicial action or required
securities disclosure or governmental action including audits. Once the Operating Expenses have
been determined by Landlord and a statement delivered to Tenant and if no objections have been
made by Tenant, or
if an objection was timely made by Tenant prior to the expiration of the objection period, the
matters have been
finally determined, then Tenant shall not be permitted to object to the finally determined
statement in subsequent years.
D. Notwithstanding anythmg contained herein to the contrary, if any lease entered into by
Landlord with any tenant in the Building is on a so-called “net” basis, or provides for a
separate basis of computation for any Operating Expenses with respect to its leased premises,
then, to the extent that Landlord’s Accountants determine that an adjustment should be made in
making the computations herein provided for, Landlord’s Accountants, shall
be permitted to modify the computation of Rentable Area and Operating Expenses for a particular
calendar year in order to eliminate or otherwise modify any such expenses which are paid for in
whole or in part by such tenant. Furthermore, in making any computations contemplated hereby,
Landlord’s Accountants shall also be permitted to
9
make such adjustments and modifications to the provisions of this Paragraph as shall be
reasonably necessary to achieve the intention of the parties hereto.
E. “Landlord’s Accountants” shall mean that individual or fm employed by
Landlord &om time to time to keep the books and records for the Building andor to prepare the
federal and state income tax returns for Landlord with respect to the Building, all of
which books and records shall be certified to by an appropriate representative of
Landlord.

Landlord for reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in providing services for Excess Usage, which
costs are subject
to change from time to time. Such costs will include Landlord’s costs for materials,
additional wear and tear on equipment, utilities and labor (including h g e and overhead
costs). Computation of Landlord’s cost for providing such services will be made by
Landlord’s engineer. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all costs of
supplementing the Building HVAC System andor extending or supplementing any electrical
service after completion of Landlord’s Work, if any, as Landlord may determine is necessary,
as a result of Tenant’s Excess Usage. Prior to installation or use by Tenant of any equipment
which will result in Excess Usage or operation of the Premises for extended hours on an ongoing
basis, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such intended installation or use and obtain Landlord’s
consent therefor. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord, at its option or upon written request
of Tenant, may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a check meter andlor flow meter
to assist in determining the cost to Landlord of Tenant’s Excess Usage. If Tenant desires
electric current and/or heated or cooled air to the Premises during periods other than Ordinary
Business Hours, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to supply the same, but at the expense of
Tenant, at Landlord’s standard rate as established by it, from time to time, for such
services. Not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice shall be given by Tenant to
Landlord of Tenant’s desire
for such services. It is also understood and agreed that Tenant shall pay the cost of
replacing light bulbs andor tubes and ballast used in all lighting in the Premises other than
Building Standard lighting.
C. If Tenant requires janitorial services other than those provided to other tenants
of the Building generally, Tenant shall separately pay for such services monthly within thirty
(30) days of billing by Landlord, or Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, separately contract for
such services with the same company furnishing janitorial services to Landlord. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and such
rules, regulations and requirements as Landlord may impose (including but not limited to the
requirements that such janitors be bonded and insured), to employ janitors, other than those
employed by Landlord, to perform such additional services.
D. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for failure to
supply any such heating, air conditioning, elevator, electrical, janitorial, lighting or
other services, or during any period Landlord is required to reduce or curtail such services
pursuant to any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, including regulations of any utility now
or hereafter in force or effect, it being understood that Landlord may discontinue, reduce, or
curtail such services, or any of them (either temporarily or permanently), at such times as
it may be necessary by reason of accident, repairs, alterations, improvements, strikes,
lockouts, riots, acts of God, application of applicable laws, statutes, or rules and
regulations or due to any other happening beyond the control of Landlord. In the
event of any interruption, reduction, or discontinuance of Landlord’s services (either temporary
or permanent), Landlord shall not
be liable for damages to person or property as a result thereof nor shall the occurrence of any
such event in any way
be construed as an eviction of Tenant; or cause or permit an abatement, reduction or setoff of
Rent; or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
E. Tenant agrees to notify promptly the Landlord or its representative of any accidents or
defects in the Building of which Tenant becomes aware including defects in pipes, electric wiring
and HVAC equipment. In addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prompt notification of any
matter or condition which may cause injury
or damage to the Building or any person or property therein.
F. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the
Lease term to contract
for utility services from any company providing such services as Landlord may select in its
sole opinion. Local telephone service will initially be provided by Qwest. Such selection
right includes the right to control or limit access to any companies providing electricity
service, telephone service or any other service utilized by the Building systems. Additionally,
Landlord shall have sole control of the roof top and central service points from
which Tenant’s electrical or telecommunication services, including computers, are to be
attached. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs of all such connections related to
Tenant’s telephone or telecommunication services.
G. In the event that Tenant wishes to utilize the services of a telephone,
telecommunications, or other utility provider that is not providing service to the Building as of
the date of Tenant’s execution of this Lease,
which may be referred to as an alternate service provider or
“ASP”, no such ASP
shall be permitted to provide
services to Tenant or install lines or other equipment to or within the Building without the prior
written consent of
Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion and execution of
Landlord’s form of license agreement, which, among other things will set forth the
location of cables and wires, require the ASP to be responsible for installation and
repairs, not be assignable or transferable and contain an indemnity of Landlord. If
11
Landlord consents to the ASP providing services to the Building, such access shall not
be exclusive, Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the ASP’s
provision of its services, including, without limitation, the costs of installation, materials
and service. Prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the ASP, the ASP
shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance verifications, financial
statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably deems to be necessary to protect its
financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the
ASP. The ASP must agree to compensate Landlord for: (i) the right to enter the Building;
(ii) the amounts determined by Landlord for space used in the Building for storage and
maintenance of the ASP’s equipment; (iii) for all costs that may be incurred by Landlord in
arranging for access by the ASP’s personnel and security for the ASP’s equipment; and (iv) any
other such costs and expenses as Landlord may incur related to the ASP. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that all telephone, telecommunications and other services desired by
Tenant from an ASP shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation or liability in the event any service
by the ASP is interrupted, curtailed, or discontinued, and it shall be the sole obligation of
Tenant at its expense to obtain substitute service. A default by the ASP shall be deemed a
default under this Lease. The provisions of this subparagraph G. may be enforced
solely by Tenant and Landlord, and are not for the benefit of any other party (including, without
limitation, any telephone or telecommunications provider) and no party shall be deemed a third
party beneficiary hereof.
7. QUET ENJOYMENT
So long as Tenant complies with the provisions hereof and subject to the provisions of this
Lease, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
by Landlord or any other person lawfitlly claiming through or under Landlord.
8. DEPOSIT
It is agreed that, concurrentlywith the execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with
Landlord and will keep on deposit at all times during the term of this Lease, the Security
Deposit, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, as security for the payment by Tenant of
all Rent and other amounts herein agreed to be paid and for
the faithful performance of all the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease. If, at any
time during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any provision
of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right
to use said deposit, or so much thereof as necessary, in payment of any Rent or other amount in
default as aforesaid,
in reimbursement of any expense incurred by Landlord, and in payment of any damages incurred by
Landlord by
reason of Tenant’s default. In such event, Tenant shall, on written demand of Landlord, forthwith
remit to Landlord
a sufficient amount in cash to restore said deposit to an amount equal to: (i) the Base
Rent if Tenant’s default occurs thereafter, plus the monthly amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of Operating Expenses then payable by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 5.B. hereof, times (ii)
the number of months’ worth of Base Rent represented by the initial deposit. In the event said
deposit has not been utilized as aforesaid, said deposit, or as much thereof as has
not been utilized for such purposes, shall be refunded to Tenant or to whomever is then the
holder of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, without interest, sixty (60) days after full
performance of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right
to commingle said deposit with other funds of Landlord. At Landlord’s election, Landlord
may elect to have the Security Deposit held by Landlord’s manager in a separate security
deposit trust, trustee or escrow account established and maintained by such manager with
respect to certain security deposits of tenants withm the Building. Unless Tenant is so
notified, (i) Landlord will hold the Security Deposit and be responsible for its return; (ii)
Tenant may request return of the Security Deposit by giving Landlord written notice in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease, addressed to Landlord as provided in this Lease;
and (iii) Landlord’s manager, if there is one, agrees that
in the event of a dispute over the ownership of the Security Deposit, the manager will
not wrongfUlly withhold Landlord’s true name and current mailing address from Tenant.
Landlord may deliver the funds deposited herein by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord’s
interest in the Premises in the event such interest be sold and, thereupon, Landlord shall be
discharged from further liability with respect to such deposit. Tenant agrees that if a
Mortgagee
(as defined in Paragraph 2 1) succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises by reason of
foreclosure or deed in lieu
of foreclosure, Tenant shall have no claim against said Mortgagee for the Security Deposit,
or any portion thereof, unless such Mortgagee has actually received the same from Landlord. If
claims of Landlord exceed said deposit, Tenant shall remain liable for the balance of such
claims.
9. CHARACTER OF OCCUPANCY
Tenant covenants and agrees to occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no
other purpose, and to use them in a careful, safe and proper manner; to pay on demand for any
damage to the Premises caused by misuse
or abuse thereof by Tenant, Tenant’s agents or employees, or of any other person entering upon
the Premises under
express or implied invitation of Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with
all laws, codes, rules and regulations of the United States, the State of Colorado, or any
applicable municipality, governmental or quasi- governmental entity, including those relating
to pollution, hazardous and toxic material control and/or environmental contamination
(“Applicable Laws”) now in effect, or which may hereafter be in effect, (i) which shall impose
any duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to the occupation or alteration of the Premises;
(ii) regarding the physical condition of the Premises, but only to the extent the Applicable
Laws pertain to the particular manner in which Tenant uses the Premises; or (iii) that do not
relate to the physical condition of the Premises but relate to the lawful use of the Premises
and with which only the occupant can comply, such as laws governing maximum occupancy. Tenant
shall not commit waste or suffer or permit waste to be committed or permit any nuisance
on or in the Premises. Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall not
store, keep, use, sell dispose of or offer for sale in, upon or from the Premises any article or
substance which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to time covering
the Building. Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall not keep, store,
generate or dispose of on, in or from the Premises, the Building, or the Building Complex any
substance which may
be deemed a hazardous substance, toxic material, hazardous, toxic or infectious waste
under any state, local or federal rule, statute, law, regulation or ordinance as may be
promulgated or amended from time to time, except for limited quantities used or stored in
the Premises required in connection with routine office operation and maintenance (and
then only in compliance with any Applicable Laws).
10. MAINTENANCE, ALTERATIONS AND REENTRY BY LANDLORD
A. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be required
to make any improvements or repairs of any kind or character to the Premises during the
Primary Lease Term, or any extension thereof, except: (i) such repairs to HVAC, mechanical,
life safety and electrical systems in the Premises (to the extent such systems are Building
Standard) as may be deemed necessary by Landlord for normal maintenance operations of the
Building and/or Building Complex; and (ii) upkeep, maintenance and repairs to all Common Areas
in the Building and/or Building Complex so long as the need for any such repair is not
the result of Tenant’s negligence.
B. Tenant covenants and agrees to permit Landlord at any time to enter the
Premises to examine and inspect the same or, if Landlord so elects, to perform any obligations
of Tenant hereunder which Tenant shall fail to perform or to perform such cleaning, maintenance,
janitorial services, repairs, additions, or alterations as Landlord may deem necessary or proper
for the safety, improvement, or preservation of the Premises or of other portions of
the Building and/or Building Complex or as may be required by governmental authorities
through any code, rule, regulation, ordinance, andlor law. Any such reentry shall not constitute
an eviction or entitle Tenant to abatement of
Rent. Furthermore, Landlord shall at all times have the right at Landlord’s election to make
such alterations or
change in other portions of the Building and/or Building Complex as Landlord may
from time to time deem necessary and desirable as long as such alterations and changes do not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and
13
occupancy of the Premises. Landlord may use one or more of the street entrances to the
Building Complex and such public areas thereof as may be necessary, in Landlord’s determination to
complete such alterations or changes.
11. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS BY TENANT
A. Tenant covenants and agrees not to make any alterations in or additions to
the Premises
(subsequent to the work in the Premises performed by Landlord pursuant to the
Work Agreement), including installation of any equipment or machinery therein which
requires modification of or additions to any existing electrical outlets or which would
increase Tenant’s usage of electricity beyond Tenant’s Standard Electrical Usage
(all such alterations are referred to herein collectively as “Alterations”) without in
each such instance first obtaining the written consent of Landlord. Landlord’s consent to
any Alterations by Tenant or 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 govemmental agencies or authorities now in
effect or which may hereafter be in effect. Tenant, at its expense, shall pay all engineering
and design costs incurred by Landlord attributable to the Alterations and obtain all necessary
governmental permits and certificates required for any Alterations to which Landlord has
consented and shall cause such Alterations to be completed in compliance therewith and with all
applicable laws and requirements of public authorities and all applicable requirements of
Landlord’s insurance carriers. All Alterations which Tenant is permitted to make shall
be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal
in quality to the original installations in the Premises. All repair and maintenance work
required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph B below and any
Alterations permitted by Landlord pursuant to the provisions hereof, including, but not
limited to, any installations desired by Tenant for Tenant’s telegraphic, telephonic or
electrical connections, shall be done at Tenant’s expense by Landlord’s employees or, with
Landlord’s consent, by persons requested by Tenant and authorized in writing by Landlord;
provided, however,
if such work is performed by persons who are not employees of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon receipt
of billing therefor, the costs for supervision and control of such persons as Landlord may
determine to be necessary.
If Landlord authorizes persons requested by Tenant to perform such work, prior to the commencement
of any such
work, on request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates issued by
insurance companies qualified to do business in the State of Colorado, evidencing that
workers’ compensation, commercial general liability insurance, and property damage insurance,
all in the amounts, with companies and on forms satisfactory to Landlord, are in force and
effect and maintained by all contractors and subcontractors engaged by Tenant to perform such
work. All such policies shall name Landlord and any Mortgagee (as defined in Paragraph 21) as
an additional insured. Each such certificate shall provide that the same may not be canceled or
modified without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and such Mortgagee. Further,
Landlord and such Mortgagee shall have the right to post notices
in the Premises in locations which will be visible by parties performing any work on
the Premises stating that Landlord is not responsible for the payment for such work and setting
forth such other information as Landlord may deem necessary. Alterations, repair and
maintenance work shall be performed in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere
with, delay, or impose any additional expense upon Landlord in the maintenance or
operation of the Building or upon other tenants’ use of their premises.
B. Tenant shall keep the Premises in as good order, condition, and repair and in an orderly
state, as when they were entered upon, loss by fire or other casualty or ordinary wear
excepted. Subject to Landlord’s obligation to make repairs in the event of certain
casualties, as set forth in Paragraph 18 below, Landlord shall have
no obligation for the repair or replacement of any portion of the interior of the Premises
which is damaged or wears out during the term hereof regardless of the cause therefor,
including but not limited to, carpeting, draperies, window
coverings, wall coverings, painting or any of Tenant’s property or betterments in the Premises.
C. All Alterations and permanent fixtures installed in the Premises,
including, by way of iliustration
and not by limitation, all partitions, paneling, carpeting, drapes or other window
coverings, and light fixtures (but not including movable office furniture not attached to the
Building), shall be deemed a part of the real estate and the property of Landlord and shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof without
molestation, disturbance or injury at the end of the Primary Lease Term, or any extension
thereof, whether by lapse
of time or otherwise, unless Landlord by notice given to Tenant no later than fifteen
(15) days prior to the end of the term shall elect to have Tenant remove all or
any of the Alterations, and in such event, Tenant shall promptly remove at Tenant’s expense
the Alterations specified by Landlord and restore the Premises to their condition prior to
the malung of the same, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
D. All Alterations, movable furniture and personal effects of Tenant not
removed from the Premises upon the vacation, abandonment thereof or upon the expiration
or termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed to
have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed
or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant or any other person and
without obligation to account therefor and Tenant shall pay Landlord all expenses incurred in
connection with the disposition of such property. Tenant shall pay Landlord all expenses
incurred in connection with removal of such property, including, but not limited
to, the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of such property.
Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Lease.
12. MECHANIC’S LIENS
Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all costs for work done by Tenant or caused to be done
by Tenant on the Premises (including work performed by Landlord or its contractor at Tenant’s
request following the commencement of the Primary Lease Term) of a character which will or may
result in liens on Landlord’s interest therein and Tenant will keep the Premises free and clear
of all mechanics’ liens, and other liens on account of work done for Tenant or persons claiming
under it, excluding any finish work performed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Agreement.
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and save Landlord harmless of and fiom 811 liability,
loss, damage, costs, or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, on account of any claims of
any nature whatsoever including claims or liens of laborers or materialmen or others for
work performed for or materials or supplies furnished to Tenant or persons claiming under
Tenant. Should Tenant receive any notice of intent to file a lien, Tenant shall deliver a copy
of such notice to Landlord and shall promptly resolve the claim. Should any liens be filed or
recorded against the Premises or any action affecting the title thereto be commenced as a result
of such work (which term includes the supplying of materials), Tenant shall cause such liens to be removed of
record within five (5) days after the filing or recording of such liens. If Tenant desires to contest any claim of
lien, Tenant shall furnish
to Landlord adequate security of at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of
the claim, plus estimated costs and interest, or at Tenant’s option, file a bond with the
appropriate court and obtain a release of the lien pursuant to Section 00-00-000, C.R.S. If
a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of any lien for any amount is entered,
Tenant shall pay and satisfy the same at once. If Tenant shall be in default in paying any
charge for which a mechanic’s lien or suit to foreclose the lien has been recorded or filed and shall not
have given Landlord
security as aforesaid, Landlord may (but without being required to do so) pay such lien or claim
and any costs, and
the amount so paid, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith,
shall be immediately due from Tenant to Landlord.
15
13. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
A. Tenant shall neither sublet any part of the Premises nor assign ths Lease or any interest
herein without the written consent of Landlord !&st being obtained, which consent, as to any
subletting of less than twenty- five percent (25%) of the Premises, will not be unreasonably
withheld provided that: (i) Tenant has complied with the provision of subparagraph C below and
Landlord has declined to exercise its rights thereunder; (ii) the proposed subtenant or assignee
is engaged in a business and the Premises will be used in a manner which is in keeping with
the then standards of the Building and does not conflict with any exclusive use rights granted to
any other tenant;
(iii) the proposed subtenant or assignee has reasonable financial worth in light of the
responsibilities involved and
Tenant shall have provided Landlord with reasonable evidence thereof; (iv) Tenant is not in
default hereunder at the time it makes its request for such consent; (v) the proposed subtenant
or assignee is not a governmental or quasi- governmental agency; (vi) the proposed subtenant or
assignee is not a tenant under, or is not currently negotiating, a lease with Landlord in any
building owned by Landlord in the Denver metropolitan area (including the Building); or
(vii) the rent under such sublease or assignment is not less than the Rent to be paid by
Tenant for such space under the Lease and is not less than 85% of the rental rate then being
offered by Landlord for similar space in the Building. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges that if the use of the Premises by any proposed subtenant or
assignee would require compliance by Landlord and the Building with any current or future laws
to a greater extent than that required prior to the proposed occupancy by such subtenant or
assignee, Landlord, at its sole option, may refuse to grant such consent, unless, as an express
condition thereof, Tenant andlor such assignee or subtenant bears the entire cost of such greater
compliance. A sale by Tenant of all or substantially
all of its assets or all or substantially all of its stock, if Tenant is a publicly traded
corporation, a merger of Tenant with another corporation, the transfer of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the stock in a corporate tenant whose stock is not publicly traded, or transfer
of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the beneficial ownership interests in
a tenant shall constitute an assignment hereunder.
B. If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied
by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect the Rent from the
assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved,
but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed an acceptance of
the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as the Tenant hereof or a release of Tenant from fixther
performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Consent by
Landlord to any one assignment or sublease shall not in any way be construed as relieving Tenant
from obtaining the Landlord’s express written consent to any fixther assignment or sublease.
Notwithstanding the consent of Landlord
to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall not be relieved from its primary obligations
hereunder to Landlord, including, but not limited to the payment of all Base Rent and
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses. Landlord’s consent to any requested sublease or
assignment shall not waive Landlord’s right to refuse to consent to any other such request or to
terminate this Lease if such request is made, all as provided herein. If Tenant collects any
rental or other amounts &om a subtenant or assignee in excess of the Base Rent and the Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share
of Operating Expenses for any monthly period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on a monthly basis,
as and when
Tenant receives the same, all such excess amounts received by Tenant.
C. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 13 to the contrary, in the
event Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to sublet all or a portion of the Premises or to
assign its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) consent to such
sublease or assignment in its sole discretion (except if covered by Subsection A.
above); (ii) refuse to grant such consent in Landlord’s sole discretion (except if
covered by Subsection A. above); or (iii) refuse to grant such consent and terminate this Lease
as to the portion of the Premises with respect to which such consent was requested; provided,
however, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent and elects to terminate the Lease as to such
portion of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right within fifteen (15) days after notice of
Landlord’s exercise of its right to terminate to withdraw Tenant’s request for such consent and
remain
in
possession of the Premises under the terms and conditions hereof. In the
event the Lease is terminated as set forth herein, such termination shall be effective as of the
date set forth in a written notice &om Landlord to Tenant, which date shall in no event be more
than thirty (30) days following such notice.
D. Tenant hereby agrees that in the event it desires to sublease all or any portion of the
Premises or assign this Lease to any party, in whole or in part, Tenant shall notify Landlord not
less than sixty (60) days prior to the date Tenant desires to sublease such portion of the
Premises or assign this Lease (“Tenant’s Notice”). Tenant’s
Notice shall set forth the description of the portion of the Premises to be so sublet or assigned
and the terms and conditions on which Tenant desires to sublet the Premises or assign this Lease.
Landlord shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of Tenant’s Notice within
which to exercise Landlord’s rights pursuant to subparagraph C above. If Landlord consents to
such sublease or assignment and if for any reason Tenant is unable to sublet said portion of the
Premises or assign the applicable portion of its interest in this Lease on the terms and
conditions contained in Tenant’s Notice, within one hundred twenty (120) days following
its original notice to Landlord, Tenant agrees to re-offer the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions hereof
prior to leasing or assigning the same to any third party.
E. All documents utilized by Tenant to evidence any subletting or assignment to
which Landlord has consented shall be subject to prior approval by Landlord or its
counsel. Tenant shall pay on demand all of Landlord’s costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in determining whether or not to consent to any
requested sublease or assignment and in reviewing and approving such documentation.
F. Landlord and Tenant understand that notwithstanding certain provisions to the
contrary contained herein, a trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States may have certain rights to assume or assign this Lease. If a trustee in bankruptcy
is entitled to assume control over Tenant’s rights under this Lease and assigns such rights to
any h d party, the Base Rent to be paid hereunder by such party shall be increased
to the then current Base Rent (if greater than then being paid for the Premises) which Landlord
would charge for comparable space in the Building as of the date of such third party’s occupancy of the
Premises. Landlord and Tenant fwther understand that in any event Landlord is entitled under
the Bankruptcy Code to adequate assurance of future performance of the terms and provisions of
ths Lease. For purposes of any such assumption or assignment, the parties hereto agree that the
term “Adequate Assurance” shall include at least the following:
(1) In order to assure Landlord that the proposed assignee will have the resources
with which to pay the Rent called for herein, any proposed assignee must have demonstrated to Landlord’s
satisfaction a net worth (as defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied) at least as great as the net worth of Tenant on the date this Lease became effective increased by seven percent
(7%), compounded annually, for each year &om the Lease Commencement Date through the date of the proposed
assignment. The financial condition and resources of Tenant were a material inducement to
Landlord in entering into this Lease.
(2) Any proposed assignee of this Lease must assume and agree to be personally bound by the
terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease.
14. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
Tenant shall neither hold nor attempt to hold Landlord liable for any injury or damage,
either proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by fxe, water, steam, or any repairs,
alterations, injury, accident, or any other cause to the Premises, to any fhiture, fixtures,
Tenant improvements, or other personal property of Tenant kept or stored in the Premises, or in
other parts of the Building and/or the Building Complex not herein demised, whether by
17
reason of the negligence or default of the owners or occupants thereof or any other
person or otherwise and the keeping or storing of all property of Tenant in the Building,
the Building Complex andlor Premises shall be at the sole risk of Tenant.
15. INDEMNITY OF LANDLORD
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and save Landlord, its agents and employees
harmless of and from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, fines, penalties, judgments, or obligations that the Landlord may sustain or
on account of injuries to the person or property of Landlord, its agents
or employees or of any other tenant in the Building or Building Complex or to any other person
rightfully in said
Building or Building Complex for any purpose whatsoever, where the injuries are caused by
the negligence or misconduct by the Tenant, Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, subtenants,
assignees or of any other person entering upon the Premises under express or implied
invitation of Tenant or where such injuries are the result of the violation of the provisions
of this Lease by any of such persons. This indemnity shall survive termination or
expiration of this Lease.
16. SURRENDER AND NOTICE
Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall
promptly quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises broom clean, in good order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear and loss by fire
or other casualty excepted unless due to the negligence of Tenant, and Tenant shall remove
all of its movable M t u r e and other effects and such Alterations, as Landlord shall require
Tenant to remove as described in Paragraph 1 I hereof. In the event Tenant
fails to vacate the Premises on a timely basis as required, Tenant shall be responsible to
Landlord for all costs and damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such failure, including,
but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to third parties who were to have
occupied the Premises. Tenant’s obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or other
termination of this Lease. All movable h t u r e and personal effects of Tenant not
removed from the Premises upon the vacation or abandonment of the Premises, or upon the
termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
abandoned, and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord
without notice to Tenant and without obligation to account therefor, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all expenses incurred in connection with disposition of such property.
17. INSURANCE
A. Subject to reimbursement as provided in Paragraph 5 herein, Landlord shall maintain
casualty insurance on the shell and core of the Building, on the Premises to the extent of

B. Tenant shall obtain and maintain throughout the term of this Lease special form

Prior to occupancy of the Premises, and thereafter from time to time, Tenant shall deliver
certificates evidencing that such insurance, as required under this Paragraph 17, is
in force and effect. The limits of said insurance shall not, under any circumstances, limit the
liability of Tenant hereunder.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby
mutually waive and release their respective rights of recovery against each other,
their officers, agents and employees occurring as a result of the use and occupancy of the
Premises for: (i) any loss of its property capable of being insured against by special form
insurance coverage whether carried or not, excluding from such waiver, in the case
of the Landlord, the deductible amounts under any applicable special form insurance; (ii) all
loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of or due to any interruption of business
(regardless of the cause therefor), increased or additional costs of operation of business
or other costs or expenses whether similar or dissimilar which are capable
of being insured against under business interruption insurance whether or not carried.
Each party shall apply to its insurers to obtain such waivers and obtain any special
endorsements, if required by their insurance to evidence compliance with the aforementioned
waiver and shall bear the cost therefore.
18. CASUALTY AND RESTORATION OF PREMISES
A. If the Premises or the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty as to
render the Premises wholly untenantable and if such damage shall be so great that an architect,
in good standing, selected by Landlord shall certify in writing to Landlord and Tenant within
ninety (90) days of said casualty that the Premises, with the exercise of reasonable
diligence, cannot be made fit for occupancy within one hundred eighty (180) business
days from the happening thereof, then this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of the
occurrence of such damage and Tenant shall thereupon surrender to Landlord the Premises and all
interest therein hereunder and Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises and
remove Tenant therefrom. Tenant shall pay Rent, duly apportioned, up to the time of such
termination of this Lease. If, however, the damage shall be such that said architect shall
certify within said ninety (90) day period that the Premises can be made tenantable within said
one hundred eighty (180) clay period, then, except as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall
repair the damage so done (to the extent of the Building Standard tenant finish allowance then provided by Landlord to tenants
in the Building) with all reasonable speed.
B. If the Premises shall be slightly damaged by fire or other casualty, but not so as to
render the same wholly untenantable or to require a repair period in excess of one hundred
eighty (180) days, then, Landlord, after receiving notice in writing of the occurrence of the
casualty, except as hereafter provided, shall cause the same to be repaired to the extent of the
Building Standard tenant finish then provided by Landlord to tenants in the Building with
reasonable promptness. If the estimated repair period as established in accordance with the
provisions of subparagraph A above exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days, then the provisions of
subparagraph A shall control notwithstanding the fact that the Premises are not wholly
untenantable.
C. In case the Building throughout shall be so injured or damaged,
whether by fire or otherwise (though said Premises may not be affected, or if affected, can be repaired within said
one hundred eighty (180) days), that, within ninety (90) days after the happening of such
injury, Landlord shall decide not to reconstruct or rebuild said Building, then, notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, upon notice in writing to that effect given by
Landlord to Tenant within said ninety (90) days, Tenant shall pay the Rent, properly apportioned
up to such date, this Lease shall terminate from the date of delivery of said written notice, and
both parties hereto shall be £xxxx and discharged of all further obligations hereunder.
19
D. Provided that the casualty is not the fault of Tenant, Tenant’s
agents, servants, or employees, Tenant’s Rent shall xxxxx during any such period of Landlord’s repair and restoration, but only
to the extent of any recovery by Landlord under its rental insurance related to the Premises
in the same proportion that the part of the Premises rendered untenantable bears to the
whole.
E. If the Lease is not terminated as provided above, Tenant shall, at its
expense, replace or hlly repair Tenant’s personal property and alterations installed by
Tenant in the Premises existing on the date of occurrence of the casualty and Tenant
shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing Tenant’s personal property and other debris from
the Premises to facilitate making repairs.
19. CONDEMNATION
If the entire Premises or substantially all of the Premises or any portion of the
Building which shall render Premises untenantable shall be taken by right of eminent domain or by
condemnation or shall be conveyed in lieu of any such taking, then this Lease, at the option of
either Landlord or Tenant exercised by either party giving written notice to the other of such
termination within thirty (30) days after such taking or conveyance, shall forthwith cease and
terminate and the Rent shall be duly apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance.
Tenant thereupon shall surrender the Premises and all interest therein under this Lease to
Landlord and Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises or remove Tenant therefrom.
In the event less than all of the Premises shall be taken by such proceeding,
Landlord shall promptly repair the Premises as nearly as possible to its condition immediately
prior to said taking, unless Landlord elects not to reconstruct or rebuild as described in subparagraph
C of Paragraph 18 above. In the event of any such taking or conveyance, Landlord shall receive the
entire award or consideration for the portion of the Building so taken whether the award is
compensation for diminution in value for the leasehold, for
the taking of the fee, or as severance, damage or otherwise; provided, however, if this Lease is
terminated as a result of the condemnation and as long as Tenant’s award does not reduce Landlord’s award or
compensation, then Tenant shall be entitled to any separate award made to Tenant for the
following: (i) for loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures which it cannot remove, and (ii)
relocation and removal expenses.
20. DEFAULT BY TENANT
A. Each one of the following events is herein referred to as an “Event of Defaulty’:
(1) Any failure by Tenant to pay the Rent or any other monetary sums required to be paid
hereunder on the date such sums are due.
(2) Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises.
(3) This Lease or the estate of Tenant hereunder shall be transferred to or shall pass to
or devolve upon any other person or party except in the manner set forth in Paragraph 13.
(4) This Lease or the Premises or any part thereof shall be taken upon execution
or by other process of law directed against Tenant or shall be taken upon or subject to any
attachment at the instance of any creditor of or claimant against Tenant and said attachment
shall not be discharged or disposed of within fifteen (15)days after the levy
thereof
(5) The filing of any petition or the commencement of any case or proceeding by
the Tenant under any provision or chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, the Federal Bankruptcy
Code, or any other federal or state law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization or the adjudication that the
Tenant is insolvent or bankrupt or the entry of an order for relief under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code with respect to Tenant.
(6) The filing of any petition or the commencement of any case or proceeding described in
subparagraph (5) above against the Tenant, unless such petition and all proceedings
initiated thereby are dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date of such filing; the filing
of an answer by Tenant admitting the allegations of any such petition; the appointment of or
taking possession by a custodian, trustee or receiver for all or any assets of the Tenant,
unless such appointment is vacated or dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date of such
appointment.
(7) The insolvency of the Tenant or the execution by the Tenant of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors; the convening by Tenant of a meeting of its creditors, or any class
thereof, for purposes of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts;
or the failure of the Tenant generally to pay its debts as they mature.
(8) The admission in writing by Tenant, or any partner of Tenant if Tenant is a
partnership, that it is unable to pay his debts as they mature or he is generally not paying his
debts as they mature.
(9) Tenant shall fail to accept possession of the Premises on the date the Primary Lease Term commences.
(10) Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other agreements, terms, covenants, or
conditions hereof on Tenant’s part to be performed and such non-performance shall continue for a period of
thrrty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant or, if such performance cannot be reasonably
had within such thuty (30) day period, Tenant shall not in good faith have commenced such performance within
such thrrty (30) day period and shall not diligently proceed therewith to
completion; provided, however, if Tenant fails to perform any of the other agreements, covenants or conditions hereof repeatedly during the term of this Lease,
Tenant shall no longer have the opportunity to cure any subsequent failure and an Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon such failure.
B. If any one or more Event of Default shall happen, then Landlord shall have the right, at
Landlord’s election, then or at any time thereafter, either:
(1) (a) Without demand or notice, to reenter and take possession of the Premises or any
part thereof and repossess the same as Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those
claiming through or under Tenant and remove the effects of both or either, without being deemed
guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or
preceding breach of covenants or conditions. Should Landlord elect to reenter, as provided in this subparagraph (I), or should Landlord take possession pursuant
to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord, may, fiom time to
time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the
Building of which the Premises are a part, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name but for the account
of Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions and upon
such other terms (which may include concessions of fiee rent and alteration and repair of the
Premises) as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine and Landlord may collect and
receive the rents therefor. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to
relet the Premises, or any part
21
thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting;
provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. No such
reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on
Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant. No notice fiom Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or
similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice
specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right following any such reentry andlor
reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in
which event the Lease will terminate as specified in said notice.
(b) If Landlord elects to take possession of the Premises as provided in this
subparagraph (1) without terminating the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) the
Rent and other sums as herein provided, which would be payable hereunder if such repossession
had not occurred, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses
incurred in connection with such reletting, including, but without limitation, all
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of
employees, alterations, remodeling, and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such
reletting. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing term or
the premises covered thereby include other premises not part of the Premises, a fair apportionment
of the rent received from such reletting and expenses incurred in connection therewith, as provided aforesaid, will be made in determining
the net proceeds received fiom such reletting. In addition, in determining the net proceeds fiom such reletting,
any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay such
amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the rent and all other amounts owing hereunder would have been payable if
possession had not been retaken and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same from Tenant on
each such day; or
(2) To give Tenant written notice of intention to terminate this Lease on the date of
such given notice or on any later date specified therein and, on the date specified
in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall cease and the Lease shall
thereupon be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability hereunder as hereinafter provided, as
if the expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the term herein originally
demised. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph
(2), Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other
sums which would have been owing by Tenant hereunder for the balance of the term had this Lease
not been terminated less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord
subsequent to such termination, after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with
such reletting, including, but without limitation, the expenses enumerated above. Landlord
shall be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which Rent and
other amounts would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated and
Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same fiom Tenant on each such day. Alternatively, at
the option of Landlord, in the event this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover forthwith against Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty an
amount equal to the worth at the time of termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of
Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the term hereof over the then Reasonable Rental
Value of the Premises for the same period plus all amounts incurred by Landlord in order to obtain possession of
the Premises and relet the same, including attorneys’ fees, reletting expenses, alterations and
repair costs, brokerage commissions and all other like amounts. It is agreed that the
“Reasonable Rental Value” shall be the amount of rental which Landlord can obtain as rent for
the remaining balance of the term.
C. Suit or suits for the recovery of the Rents and other amounts and damages
set forth hereinabove may be brought by Landlord, fiom time to time, at Landlord’s
election, and nothing herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon
this Lease or the term hereof would have expired had there been no such default by Tenant or no
such termination, as the case may be. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this
Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, suits for injunctive relief and
specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any
one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise
by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall
be considered cumulative and non-exclusive. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
collecting any Rent
or other amount and damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or to
enforce any provision of the Lease, shall also be recoverable by Landlord fiom Tenant. Further, if an action is
brought pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to
recover fiom the other party any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such
prevailing party in connection with such action.
D. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any
agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon
a breach thereof and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such
breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant,
or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof to be performed or complied
with by Tenant and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered, or modified, except by written
instrument executed by Landlord. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease but
each and every agreement, term, covenant, and condition hereof shall continue in full force and
effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. Notwithstanding
any termination of this Lease, the same shall continue in full force and effect as to any
provisions which require observance or performance by Landlord or Tenant subsequent to such
termination.
E. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 20 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to
prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, or dissolution proceeding
an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law governing such a proceeding
and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal
to, or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, referred to in any of the
preceding provisions of this Paragraph. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph
to the contrary, any such proceeding or action involving bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a
receiver or trustee, as set forth above, shall be considered to be an Event of Default only
when such proceeding, action, or remedy shall be taken or brought by or against the then holder
of the leasehold estate under this Lease.
F. Any Rents or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within five (5) days after
due shall thereafter bear interest at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum until paid. Further, in the event any Rents or other amounts owing hereunder are not paid
within five (5) days after written notice, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur
additional administrative expenses, the amount of which will be difficult if not impossible to
determine. Accordingly, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional, one-time late charge for any
such late payment in the amount of five percent (5%) of such payment. Any amounts paid by
Landlord to cure any defaults of Tenant hereunder, which Landlord shall have the right but not
the obligation to do, shall, if not repaid by Tenant within five (5) days of demand by Landlord,
thereafter bear interest at the rate of three percentage points over the Prime Rate or the
highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is lower, until paid. Prime Rate, as
used herein, shall mean the three percent (3%) in excess of the rate published in the Western
Edition of The Wall Street Journal under “Money Rates.” If for any reason the Prime Rate is no
longer published in The Wall Street Journal, then Landlord shall select another financial publication and reasonably equivalent
announced rate as was announced in The Wall Street Journal.
23
G. Tenant and Landlord hereby waive (to the extent allowed by law) any and all rights
to a trial by jury in suit or suits brought to enforce any provision of this Lease or arising out of
or concerning the provisions of this Lease.
21. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD
In the event of any alleged default on the part of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall give
written notice to Landlord in the manner herein set forth and shall afford Landlord a reasonable
opportunity to cure any such default. Notice to Landlord of any such alleged default shall be
ineffective unless notice is simultaneously delivered to any holder of a Mortgage and/or Trust
Deed affecting all or any portion of the Building Complex (“Mortgagees”), as hereafter provided.
Tenant agrees to give all Mortgagees, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any
notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been
notified, in writing, (by way of notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the
address of such Mortgagees. Tenant M e r agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such
default with the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagees shall have an additional
thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that
time, then such additional time as may be necessary, if within such tlurty (30) days, any
Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default
(including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect
such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued. In no event will Landlord or any Mortgagee be responsible for
any consequential damages incurred by Tenant as a result of any default, including, but not
limited to, lost profits or interruption of business as a result of any alleged default by Landlord
hereunder.
22. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
A. This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust
(now or hereafter placed upon the Building and/or Building Complex, or any portion thereof),
including any amendment, modification, or restatement of any of such documents, and to any and
all advances made under any mortgage or deed of trust and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof Tenant agrees that with respect to any of
the foregoing documents, no documentation, other than this Lease, shall be required to evidence
such subordination.
B. If any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust shall elect to have this Lease superior to
the lien of the holder’s mortgage or deed of trust and shall give written notice thereof to
Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease
is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust of the date of recording thereof.
C. In conhation of such subordination or superior position, as the case may be,
Tenant agrees to execute such documents as may be required by Landlord or its Mortgagee to
evidence the subordination of its interest herein to any of the documents described above, or
to evidence that this Lease is prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, as the case
may be, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after written demand, Tenant does hereby make,
constitute, and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name,
place, and stead, to do so.
D. Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to all successor owners of the
Building, whether or not such ownership is acquired as a result of a sale, through foreclosure
of a deed of trust or mortgage, or otherwise.
23. HOLDING OVER: TENANCY MONTH-TO-MONTH
If, after the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall remain in possession of the
Premises and continue to pay Rent, and Landlord shall accept such Rent, without any express
written agreement as to such holding over, then such holding over shall be deemed and taken to
be a holding upon a tenancy fiom month-to-month, subject to all the terms and conditions
hereof on the part of Tenant to be observed and performed and at a monthly Rent equivalent to one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly installmentspaid by Tenant immediately prior to such
expiration or the Current Market Rental Rate for the Premises, whichever is greater. All such Rent shall be
payable in advance on the same day of each calendar month. Such month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by either
party by not less than ten (10) days’ notice prior to the end of any such monthly period. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as obligating Landlord to accept any rental tendered by Tenant after the expiration of the
term hereof or as relieving Tenant of its liability pursuant to Paragraph 16 and any holdover
without Landlord’s consent shall be deemed a default hereunder entitling Landlord to all of
its rights and remedies set forth in Paragraph 20 above, including, without limitation, its
right to recover consequential damages resulting &om said holdover.
24. PAYMENTS AFTER TERMINATION
No payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the termination of this Lease, in any
manner, or after giving of any notice (other than a demand for payment of money) by Landlord to
Tenant shall reinstate, continue, or extend the term of this Lease or affect any notice given to
Tenant prior to the payment of such money, it being agreed that after the service of notice or
the commencement of a suit or other final judgment granting Landlord possession of the
Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any sums of Rent due or any other sums of money due
under the terms of this Lease or otherwise exercise Landlord’s rights and remedies hereunder and
the payment of such sums of money, whether as Rent or otherwise, shall not waive said notice or
in any manner affect any pending suit or judgment theretofore obtained.
25. STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE
Tenant agrees at any time and fiom time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’
prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a
statement in writing certifymg that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), that there have been no defaults thereunder by
Landlord or Tenant (or, if there have been defaults, setting forth the nature thereof), the date
to which the Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and such other information as Landlord may request. It is intended that
any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser
of all or any portion of Landlord’s interest herein or a holder of any mortgage or
deed of trust encumbering the Building Complex. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and
effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (ii) there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and (iii) not more than one (1) month’s rent has
been paid in advance. Further, upon request, Tenant will supply to Landlord a corporate or
partnership resolution, as the case may be, certifying that the party signing said statement of
Tenant is properly authorized to do so.
26. HAZARDO US SUBSTANCES
Except for hazardous substances customarily used for normal office purposes, Tenant
shall be prohibited fiom storing, handling, andlor disposing of hazardous substances or
environmental pollutants, as those terms are defined under federal, state, or local
environmental statutes, ordinances, or regulations in or about the Premises.
25
Landlord represents to Tenant that no hazardous substances or environmental pollutants,
including asbestos (except for hazardous substances customarily used for normal office purposes) which
violate federal, state or local environmental statutes, ordinances, or regulations by their
presence are located in the Premises as of the date of the Lease. In the event Tenant violates
this provision, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all
claims, liabilities, judgments, loss, cost or damage including clean-up costs, fines,
penalties, and attorneys’ fees, arising from the use, storage
and or disposal of hazardous
substances. Tenant’s liability for all loss, cost, or damage arising from such use, storage,
and or disposal shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
27. MISCELLANEOUS
A. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only
the owner or owners of the Building at the time in question and, in the event of any transfer or
transfers of the title thereto, Landlord herein named (and in the case of any subsequent
transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically released, from and after the
date of such transfer or conveyance, of all liability as respects the performance of any
covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the
hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such transfer in which Tenant has an interest
shall be turned over to the grantee and any amount then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord or
the then grantor under any provisions of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant.
B. The termination or mutual cancellation of this Lease shall not work a merger, and such
termination or mutual cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all subleases and
subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
C. The
Tenant agrees that, for the purposes of completing or making repairs or
alterations in any portion of the Building, Landlord may use one or more of the street entrances,
the halls, passageways, and elevators of the Building.
D. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord
and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant shall not be entitled to any setoff of
the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord if Landlord fails to perform its
obligations set forth herein; provided, however, the foregoing shall in no way impair the
right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by
Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any
holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building and or Building Complex or any portion
thereof and an opportunity granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violation as
provided in Paragraph 2 1 above.
E. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Lease, then and in
that event it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not
be affected thereby and it is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of
each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable there be added
as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.
F. The caption of each paragraph is added as a matter of convenience only and
shall be considered of no effect in the construction of any provision or provisions of this Lease.
G. Except as herein specifically set forth, all terms, conditions, and covenants to
be observed and performed by the parties hereto shall be applicable to and binding upon their
respective heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns. The terms, conditions,
and covenants hereof shall also be considered to be covenants running with the land
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
H. Tenant and the party executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent to
Landlord that such party is authorized to do so by requisite action of the board of directors
or partners, as the case may be, and agree, upon request, to deliver to Landlord a resolution or
similar document or opinion of counsel to that effect.
I. If there are more than one entity or person which or who are the Tenant under
this Lease, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.
J. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the term hereof,
including, but not limited to, any agreement to accept surrender of the Premises or to amend or
modify this Lease, shall be deemed to be binding on Landlord, unless such act or thing shall be by a partner or officer of
Landlord, as the case may be, or a party designated in writing by Landlord as so authorized to
act. The delivery of keys to Landlord, or Landlord’s agents, employees, or officers shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a
surrender of the Premises. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than
the monthly Rent and all other amounts owing, as herein stipulated, shall be deemed to be other
than on account of the earliest stipulated rent or other amounts nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment
as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy
available to Landlord.
K. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the
Building and/or Building Complex, to increase the size of the Building and/or Building Complex
by adding additional real property thereto, to construct other buildings or improvements on any
portion of the Building and/or Building complex or to change the location and/or character of or
to make alterations of or additions to the Building and/or Building Complex. In the event any
such additional buildings are constructed or Landlord increases the size of the Building and/or
Building Complex, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an Amendment to Lease which
incorporates such modifications, additions, and adjustments to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, if
necessary. Tenant shall not use the Building’s and/or Building Complex’s name for any purpose
other than as a part of its business address. Any use of such name in the designation of
Tenant’s business shall constitute a default under this Lease.
L. Tenant covenants and agrees that no diminution of light, air, or view of or from the
Building, or any other building (whether or not constructed or owned by Landlord) shall entitle
Tenant to any reduction of Rent or other charges under this Lease, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any way
affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
M. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord’s
liability under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Building.
N. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any statements,
representations, agreements, or warranties by Landlord, its agents or employees, except such as
are expressed herein and that no amendment or modification of this Lease shall be valid or
binding unless expressed in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner as the
execution of this Lease.
27
O. Tenant agrees to make such modifications and amendments of this Lease as may
hereafter be required to conform to any lender’s requirements, so long as such modifications or amendments
will not increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder or materially alter its rights as set forth herein.
P. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not
constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or
otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
Q. This Lease shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado.
R. As part of the services Landlord provides hereunder, Landlord may elect to
provide a concierge or security guard for more efficient operation of the Building, and the cost
therefor shall be included as an Operating Expense. Landlord is not obligated to provide such
