STANDARD LEASE PROVISIONS
1. TERM
(a) The Initial Term of this Lease and the Rent (defined below) shall commence on the earliest
of (i) the date that the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed, or (ii) the date the
Tenant Improvements would have been Substantially Completed except for Tenant Delays, or (iii) the
date that Tenant, or any person occupying any of the Premises with Tenant’s permission, commences
business operations from the Premises, or (iv) September 1, 2004 (the “Commencement Date”).
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Initial Term of this Lease
shall be the period shown in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions. As used herein, “Lease
Term” shall mean the Initial Term referred to in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, subject
to any extension of the Initial Term hereof exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions
expressly set forth herein. This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon
execution hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Initial Term
of this Lease. The terms “Tenant Improvements” and “Substantial Completion” or
“Substantially Completed” are defined in the attached Exhibit B Work Letter.
“Tenant Delays” consist of those delays defined in Exhibit B.
(b) The Premises will be delivered to Tenant on the Effective Date for Tenant to commence
construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Exhibit B hereto. In the event Landlord
is delayed for any reason in delivering the Premises to Tenant, this Lease shall not be void or
voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.
Landlord certifies to Tenant that Intrado, Inc., the only other entity that has any right to lease
the Premises, has waived its right to lease the Premises. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall
have the right to access (i) the data center and the mission control room in the Premises on May 1,
2003, at no additional charge to Tenant, for the purpose of installing the Tenant’s telephones,
equipment, and furniture and all related cabling in the data center in the Premises and for testing
equipment and mission critical activities, and (ii) the remainder of the Premises on July 15, 2004,
at no additional charge to Tenant, for the purpose of installing the Tenant’s telephones,
equipment, and furniture and all related cabling in the remainder of the Premises and for testing
equipment and other activities in the Premises (collectively the “Pre-Term Occupancy
Period”). All rules, regulations and obligations of Tenant hereinafter set forth (except for
the payment of Rent, as hereinafter defined) shall apply during the Pre-Term Occupancy Period.
(c) Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare and deliver
to Tenant, Tenant’s Initial Certificate in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the
“Certificate”) which Tenant shall acknowledge by executing a copy and returning it to
Landlord. If Tenant fails to sign and return the Certificate to Landlord within ten (10) days of
its receipt from Landlord, the Certificate as sent by Landlord shall be deemed to have correctly
set forth the Commencement Date and the other matters addressed in the Certificate. Failure of
Landlord to send the Certificate shall have no effect on the Commencement Date.
(d) Tenant shall have two (2) options to renew the lease for an additional five (5) years per
option in accordance with the terms and provisions of Addendum One hereto.
(e) During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written to
Landlord, to convert the Storage Space in the Building to Office Space. In such event, Landlord, in
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to either (i) provide Tenant with a
Conversion Allowance (defined below) and the terms of the Lease as they then relate to the Office
Space shall be the same for the Storage Space as then exists for the remainder of the Office Space
in the Premises, or (ii) Landlord shall not provide Tenant with any allowance for the buildout of
the Storage Space, the cost of any improvements to the Storage Space shall be paid for fully by
Tenant, and the Basic Annual Rent for the Storage Space shall remain the same as currently set
forth in the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Landlord shall not provide Tenant
with any allowance for the buildout of the Storage Space, then, in addition to those matters set
forth in romanette (ii) of the preceding sentence, Tenant shall also pay the same Operating Costs
for the Storage Space as Tenant is then paying for the Office Space and Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for Office Space shall be adjusted accordingly. The Conversion Allowance
(defined below) shall be used and disbursed in accordance with the provisions and procedures set
forth in Exhibit B relating to the Office Space. As used herein, the term “Conversion
Allowance” means the amount equal to the product of (i) forty dollars ($40.00) per square foot
of Rentable Area in the applicable Storage Space, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months remaining in the
Initial Term hereof (without
H-5
regard to any extension of renewal thereof) following the date that
Tenant occupies the Storage Space and the denominator which is one hundred thirty-two (132). The
Lease Term for the Office Space and the Storage Space shall remain coterminous. Tenant shall be
responsible for any costs incurred in the construction of tenant improvements for the Storage Space
in excess of the Conversion Allowance.
2. BASIC ANNUAL RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
(a) Tenant agrees to pay during each month of the Lease Term as Basic Annual Rent for both the
Office Space and the Storage Space (“Basic Annual Rent”) for the Premises the sums shown
for such periods in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. For purposes of this Lease, a “Lease
Year” shall be each twelve (12) calendar month period commencing on the Commencement Date (or
anniversary thereof).
(b) Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, Basic Annual Rent shall be payable in
equal consecutive monthly installments, in advance, without demand, deduction or offset, commencing
on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until
the expiration of the Lease Term. The first full monthly installment of Basic Annual Rent shall be
payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease. The obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and other sums
to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. If the
Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or the Lease Term expires
on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such partial month shall be
calculated on a per diem basis.
(c) Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has paid or will pay Landlord the
security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions as
security for the performance of the provisions hereof by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to
keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to
interest thereon.
If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, without limitation,
the provisions relating to the payment of Rent or the cleaning of the Premises upon the termination
of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of
the Security Deposit (i) for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, (ii) for the
payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Tenant’s default hereunder, or (iii) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default hereunder, including, without limitation, costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises following
a default by Tenant hereunder. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
shall, upon demand therefore, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the
Security Deposit to the appropriate amount, as determined hereunder. If Tenant shall fully perform
every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof
shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest
hereunder) within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, however,
that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in
accordance with Paragraph 3 below has been determined and paid to Landlord in full.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or under Colorado law to the contrary, Tenant hereby waives
Sections 00-00-000 through 00-00-000 of the Colorado Revised Statutes Annotated as such sections of
the Colorado Property Code relate to the Security Deposit under this Lease.
(d) Within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of this Lease, Landlord shall have
the right to remeasure the Premises by delivering written notice to Tenant of such intent to
remeasure (“Remeasurement Notice”). As to space leased by Tenant other than the Storage
Space, Rentable Area shall be determined in accordance with “BOMA” Standard Method for Measuring
Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996. After delivery of such Remeasurement Notice to
Tenant, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, employ Landlord’s architect for the Building
to perform such remeasurement of the Premises (the “Remeasurement Architect”). The
Remeasurement Architect shall remeasure the Premises within forty-five (45) days following the
delivery of the Remeasurement Notice to Tenant. Any such remeasurement of the Premises by the
Remeasurement Architect shall include a Building add-on factor of six percent (6%), excluding the
atrium penetration. The findings of any such remeasurement of the Premises by the Remeasurement
Architect shall be delivered to both Landlord and Tenant. If necessary, the parties shall execute
an amendment reflecting the results of the remeasurement of the Premises, including, if necessary,
a revised Basic Annual Rent for the Premises, a revised Landlord’s Construction Allowance, First Additional TI Allowance and Second Additional TI Allowance, and a revised
Tenant’s
H-6
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space, and any adjustment of Basic
Annual Rent required due to such remeasurement. If Landlord does not deliver the Remeasurement
Notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of this Lease, then
Landlord shall have waived its right to remeasure the Premises under this Paragraph.
3. ADDITIONAL RENT
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the product of the Operating Costs (as defined below) for the
Project during any calendar year falling entirely or partly within the Lease Term multiplied by
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space (“Additional Rent”). If
the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a
day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Additional Rent for such
month or months shall be prorated. The payment for such prorated month shall be calculated by
multiplying the monthly installment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
days of the lease term occurring during said commencement or termination month, as the case may be,
and the denominator being the total number of days occurring in said commencement or termination
month. Also if the Lease Term commences or terminates on a day other than the first day of a
calendar year, then the Additional Rent shall be prorated for such commencement or termination
year, as the case may be, by multiplying each by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of days of the lease term during the commencement or termination year, as the case may be,
and the denominator of which shall be 365. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that
the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(b) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space” is, subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 18, the percentage number described in Item 4(a) of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space represents,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18, a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of square feet of Rentable Area of Office Space in the Premises and the denominator of which is the
number of square feet of Rentable Area in the Project, as determined by Landlord pursuant to
Paragraph 18.
(c) Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year of Landlord’s
estimate of the amount of Operating Costs (“Estimated Operating Costs”) that Landlord will
likely incur for the Project during the coming calendar year, and Landlord shall advise Tenant of
the amount of its Estimated Payments (as defined below) for the coming calendar year. The term
“Estimated Payments” shall be an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
Estimated Operating Costs for any given calendar year. Tenant shall pay such Estimated Payments to
Landlord in advance on the first day of each month. If Landlord determines in its reasonable
opinion that Landlord’s initial determination of Estimated Operating Costs was incorrect, then
Landlord shall have the right to adjust the Estimated Operating Costs and the Estimated Payments as
necessary; provided, however, Landlord shall not have the right to adjust such Estimated Operating
Costs and/or Estimated Payments more than once in any one calendar year or more than twenty percent
(20%) of the Landlord’s initial estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the twenty
percent (20%) cap on increasing the Landlord’s initial estimate in any one year shall not create
any type of cap or otherwise adversely effect or reduce any Operating Cost Reimbursement (defined
below) that Tenant may owe to Landlord hereunder. If Landlord fails to timely notify Tenant prior
to the beginning of a calendar year of the Estimated Operating Costs and Estimated Payments for the
upcoming calendar year, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Estimated Payments for the prior
calendar year until Landlord does notify Tenant of the new Estimated Operating Costs and Estimated
Payments. Within a reasonable period after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant a statement indicating in reasonable detail the actual Operating Costs for the previous
calendar year and the parties shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make any payment or
allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s Estimated Payments to Tenant’s actual share of such
Operating Costs as indicated by such annual statement (“Operating Cost Reimbursement”). Any
payment due Landlord shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written
demand therefor. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against Rent installments next becoming
due under this Paragraph 3(c) or refunded to Tenant, if requested by Tenant. Real Estate
Taxes for each calendar year shall be the Real Estate Taxes that accrue for the year (which, under
the current law, are payable in the following calendar year). A final tax xxxx shall be conclusive
evidence of the amount of Real Estate Taxes, unless Landlord appeals the amount of such Real Estate
Taxes or the assessment of the Building. The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
H-7
(d) “Operating Costs” means all reasonable costs, expenses and obligations incurred or
payable by Landlord in connection with the operation, ownership, management, repair or maintenance
of the Building and the Project during or allocable to the Lease Term, including without
limitation, the following:
(i) All real property taxes, assessments, license fees, excises, levies, charges,
assessments, both general and special assessments, or impositions and other similar
governmental ad valorem or other charges levied on or attributable to the Project or its
ownership, operation or transfer, and all taxes, charges, assessments or similar impositions
imposed in lieu of the same (collectively, “Real Estate Taxes”). Real Estate Taxes
shall also include all taxes, assessments, license fees, excises, levies, charges or similar
impositions imposed by any governmental agency, district, authority or political subdivision
(A) on any interest of Landlord, any mortgagee of Landlord or any interest of Tenant in the
Project, the Premises, or on the occupancy or use of space in the Project or the Premises;
(B) for the provision of amenities, services or rights of use, whether or not exclusive,

service, without regard to whether such services were formerly provided by governmental or
quasi-governmental agencies to property owners or occupants at no cost or at minimal cost;
and (C) related to any transportation plan, fund or system instituted within the geographic
area of the Project or otherwise applicable to the Premises, the Project or any portion
thereof. Real Estate Taxes shall not include any estate, inheritance successor, transfer,
gift, franchise, corporation, income or profit tax imposed by the State or federal
government on Landlord unless such income, franchise, transfer or profit taxes are in
substitution for any Real Estate Taxes payable hereunder; and
(ii) The cost of utilities (including taxes and other charges incurred in connection
therewith) provided to the Premises, the Building or the Project, fuel, supplies, equipment,
tools, materials, service contracts, janitorial services, waste and refuse disposal,

insurance for up to the full replacement cost of the Project and such other insurance as is
customarily carried by operators of other similar class office buildings in the city in
which the Project is located, to the extent carried by Landlord in its reasonable
discretion, and the deductible portion of any insured loss otherwise covered by such
insurance); the cost of compensation, including employment, welfare and social security
taxes, paid vacation days, disability, pension, medical and other fringe benefits of all

installments or upon demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent to be allocated to
monthly Operating Costs.
(h) Tenant shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency or earlier, all taxes and assessments
(i) levied against any personal property, tenant improvements or trade fixtures of Tenant in or
about the Premises and (ii) based upon this Lease or any document to which Tenant is a party
creating or transferring an interest in this Lease or an estate in all or any portion of the
Premises. If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if
the assessed value of the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such
personal property or trade fixtures, Tenant shall upon demand reimburse Landlord for the taxes and
assessments so levied against Landlord, or such taxes, levies and assessments resulting from such
increase in assessed value.
(i) Any delay or failure of Landlord in (i) delivering notice of the Estimated Payments, or
any other estimate or statement described in Paragraph 3, or (ii) computing or billing
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space or the Estimated Payments shall
not constitute a waiver of its right to require an
H-10
increase in Additional Rent, or in any way impair, the continuing obligations of Tenant under
this Paragraph 3. In the event of any dispute as to any Additional Rent due under this
Paragraph 3, an officer of Tenant or Tenant’s certified public accountant or vendor with
similar qualifications shall have the right after reasonable notice and at reasonable times to
inspect Landlord’s accounting records at Landlord’s accounting office. Notwithstanding the
foregoing Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not hire a certified public accountant
or vendor with similar qualifications under the previous sentence who is being paid on a
contingency-fee or other similar basis. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such
Additional Rent, upon Tenant’s written request therefor, a certification as to the proper amount of
Operating Costs and the amount due to or payable by Tenant shall be made by an independent
certified public accountant mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant
cannot mutually agree to an independent certified public accountant, then the parties agree that
Landlord shall choose an independent certified public accountant to conduct the certification as to
the proper amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space due by Tenant
for the period in question; provided, however, such certified public accountant shall not be the
accountant who conducted Landlord’s initial calculation of Operating Costs to which Tenant is now
objecting. Such certification shall be final and conclusive as to all parties. If the certification
reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office for
the period in question, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant’s next payment of
Operating Costs or, at the request of Tenant, promptly refund such excess to Tenant and conversely,
if Tenant has underpaid Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space, Tenant
shall promptly pay such additional Operating Costs to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of
such certification and the investigation with respect thereto and no adjustments in Tenant’s favor
shall be made unless it is determined that Landlord’s original statement was in error in Landlord’s
favor by more than five percent (5%). Tenant waives the right to dispute any matter relating to the
calculation of Operating Costs or Additional Rent under this Paragraph 3 if any claim or
dispute is not asserted in writing to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery
to Tenant of the original billing statement with respect thereto.
(j) Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final
determination is made of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space for the
year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the
Estimated Payments paid, and conversely, any overpayment made by Tenant shall be promptly refunded
to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt. If Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has
overpaid its share of Operating Costs for the year, such matter is not in dispute, and Landlord
fails to timely refund Tenant such overpayment, then and only then, Tenant may offset such
overpayment against the next installment of Rent due Landlord. If there is a dispute regarding an
overpayment of Operating Costs pursuant to this paragraph, then such matter shall be subject to
expedited arbitration as set forth in Addendum Six of this Lease. If the Arbitrator(s) (defined in
Addendum Six above), following such expedited arbitration, determine(s) that Landlord owes Tenant
such overpayment and Landlord does not refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days
following the Arbitrator(s)’ ruling, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount of the
overpayment that Landlord owes Tenant as set forth in the ruling of the Arbitrator(s) together with
interest at the Default Rate against Rent.
(k) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for Controllable Operating Costs in any year to the
extent they have increased by more than four percent (4%) per annum, compounded annually on a
cumulative basis from the first calendar year during the Lease Term. For purposes of this Lease,
Controllable Operating Costs shall mean all Operating Costs except for taxes, insurance premiums
and utility costs and all costs and expenses for security for the Building and the Project.
Controllable Operating Costs shall be determined on an aggregate basis and not on an individual
basis, and the cap on Controllable Operating Costs shall be determined on Operating Costs as they
have been adjusted for vacancy or usage pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
(l) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and provided that during the first year of
the Initial Term, Tenant electrical and HVAC usage for the Office Space in the Premises is typical
for an office tenant in Longmont, Colorado, then for the first twelve (12) months of the Initial
Term, Tenant shall not pay any portion of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for the
Office Space in the Premises.
(m) Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 1(e) of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible
and liable for only HVAC, electrical and janitorial costs in the Storage Space and such amounts
shall also be “Additional Rent”. The Rentable Area of the Storage Space shall not be
included for determining Tenant’s Office Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall separately meter the HVAC
H-11
and electricity usage for the Premises, and the cost of separately metering the HVAC and
electricity usage for the Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but may be paid out
of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance.
(n) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the electricity for the Office Space and
Storage Space are separately metered. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that it shall pass through
to Tenant the actual electrical costs for the Premises and will not xxxx-up such electrical costs
for the Premises. Other utilities for the Premises, including gas, water and sewer, are all
prorated among all the tenants of the Project according to each tenant’s proportionate share of the
Project and Landlord shall not xxxx-up such other bills for the Premises.
(o) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish, to
the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish which generally would be produced by the
use of the Premises for general office purposes.
(p) Tenant shall be responsible for its own janitorial services within the Premises and Tenant
shall provide such janitorial services to the Premises Monday through Friday (except state and
federal holidays) during the Lease Term. The janitorial services for the Premises shall be
comparable to other janitorial services being provided to similar tenants in the Building.
(q) The Basic Annual Rent, as adjusted pursuant to Paragraphs 2, 3 and 7, and other
amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, are sometimes collectively referred to
as, and shall constitute, “Rent”.
4. IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS
(a) Landlord’s sole construction obligation under this Lease is set forth in Section 19(aa) of
this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements (“Alterations”) on or
behalf of Tenant to the Premises or the Project without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Tenant, may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, but with prior written notice to
Landlord and provided that Tenant complies with all Building rules and regulations affecting
Alterations promulgated in accordance with Section 19(t), install cosmetic, non-structural
alterations to the interior of the Premises costing $50,000.00 or less in any calendar year,
provided the same do not affect the Building systems, including, without limitation, the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC or life-safety systems of the Building. Tenant shall make no
Alterations to the Premises, including, without limitation any Alterations (i) which will adversely
impact the Building’s mechanical, electrical or heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems,
or (ii) which will adversely impact the structure of the Building, or (iii) which are visible from
the exterior of the Premises (subject to Addendum Four, excluding Tenant’s generators), or (iv)
which will result in the penetration or puncturing of the roof, without first obtaining Landlord’s
prior written consent or approval to such Alterations (which consent or approval shall be in the
Landlord’s reasonable discretion and shall not be unreasonably delayed. All Alterations shall be
constructed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and
specifications for any Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Landlord may monitor construction of the
Alterations. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall
be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and
specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Landlord
shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to instruct Tenant to remove those improvements
or Alterations from the Premises (but not the Tenant Improvements which were approved by Landlord
as set forth in the Final Plans) which (i) were not approved in advance by Landlord, (ii) were not
built in conformance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, or (iii) Landlord
specified during its review of plans and specifications for Alterations would need to be removed by
Tenant upon the expiration of this Lease. If Landlord approved the construction of Alterations,
then Tenant shall not be obligated to remove such Alterations at the expiration of this Lease,
unless Landlord specified to Tenant at the time of such approval that Tenant would be required to
remove such Alterations upon the expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its approval with respect to what improvements or Alterations Landlord may
require Tenant to remove at the expiration of the Lease. If upon the termination of this Lease
Landlord requires Tenant to remove any or all of such Alterations from the Premises, then Tenant,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly remove such Alterations and improvements and
Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises to its
H-12
original condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Any
Alterations remaining in the Premises following the expiration of the Lease Term or following the
surrender of the Premises from Tenant to Landlord, shall become the property of Landlord unless
Landlord notifies Tenant otherwise. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reimbursement
or other payment at the termination of the Lease or otherwise for any Alterations to the Premises.
Tenant shall assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens and shall
provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation and other coverage in amounts and from
an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for
bodily injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations and upon
Landlord’s reasonable request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from all such
contractors and subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
Tenant be required to remove any of the initial Tenant Improvements constructed in the Premises in
accordance with Exhibit B hereto.
(c) Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any and all liens
arising out of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, any Alterations, work performed,
materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not,
within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of
record by payment or posting of a bond in a form and issued by a surety acceptable to Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such lien to be released by such
means as it shall deem proper (including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to
such lien); in such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all amounts so paid by Landlord in
connection therewith, together with all of Landlord’s costs and expenses, with interest thereon at
the Default Rate (defined below) and Tenant shall indemnify each and all of the Landlord
Indemnitees (defined below) against any damages, losses or costs arising out of any such claim.

earlier termination of this Lease. Such rights of Landlord shall be in addition to all other
remedies provided herein or by law.

Premises, including, without limitation, lavatory, shower, toilet, wash basin and kitchen
facilities and supplemental heating and air conditioning systems (including all plumbing connected

forty-five (45) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord may at its option make such
repairs or replacements, and Tenant shall upon demand pay Landlord for the cost thereof. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s contractors shall not in any way make
Landlord liable or responsible for the condition, quality or function of such contractors or their
work or
H-13

matters. Additionally, any contractors selected by Tenant must meet the criteria for contractors
required by the property manager of the Building. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

regulation or order (collectively, “Law” or “Laws”) and Tenant shall, upon written
notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental
authority to be a violation of Law. If any Law shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or
occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to (i) modification
or other maintenance of the Premises, the Building or the Project, or (ii) the use, alteration or
occupancy thereof, Tenant shall comply with such Law at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; Tenant shall be solely liable and responsible for

any time such Premises is not in compliance with any and all Laws, Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense, shall make such repairs and/or replacements to the Premises (subject to Landlord’s
reasonable approval) so that the Premises is in compliance with any and all such Laws. This Lease

or the Project and all covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Premises, the Building
or the Project, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s execution of any subordination agreements
requested by a mortgagee of the Premises, the Building or the Project. If the Building (excluding
the Premises) or Common Areas are determined by applicable governmental agencies to not be in
compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to the Project as of the Commencement Date, then
Landlord shall be fully responsible, at its sole cost and expense (which shall not be included in
Operating Costs), for making all alterations and repairs to the Building (excluding the Premises)

foregoing sentence, if there is a “new” Legal Requirement (a Legal Requirement first enacted or
made applicable to the Project after the Commencement Date of this Lease) affecting the Building
(excluding the Premises) or the Common Areas, and governmental agencies require Landlord to make
capital expenditures or repairs to the Building (excluding the Premises) or the Common Areas, the
invoiced cost and expense of such capital expenditures or repairs shall be an Operating Cost which
shall be reimbursed by the tenants (in their pro rata shares) in the Project over GAAP according to
each tenant’s proportionate share of Operating Costs. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements
H-14
(including any “grandfather” provisions pertaining thereto), Landlord agrees to maintain the
Building (except the Premises) and Common Areas in compliance with all Legal Requirements.
(c) Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy the Premises in violation of the certificates

occupied hi violation of such certificate or certificates of occupancy or restrictive covenants.
Tenant shall, upon five (5) days’ notice from Landlord or any such governmental agency, immediately
discontinue such use of the Premises (and otherwise remedy such violation). The failure by Tenant
to discontinue such use shall be considered a default under this Lease and Landlord shall have the
right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided herein or by Law. Any statement in this
Lease of the nature of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises shall not be deemed
or construed to constitute a representation or guaranty by Landlord that such business will
continue to be lawful or permissible under any certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or
the Premises, or otherwise permitted by Law.

the Premises, or any portion thereof, by Tenant, its assignees, subtenants, and their
respective agents, servants, employees, representatives and contractors (collectively

The Landlord’s Report reflects the existence of asbestos in the floor adhesive in the
Building, and prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements,
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, using accepted industry standards, shall remove such
asbestos from the Building as reflected in the Landlord’s Report. Such removal of the
asbestos in the floor adhesive in the Building shall be performed in compliance with all
Hazardous Materials Laws and per the remediation plan set forth in the Landlord’s Report.

Tenant. Following the Commencement Date, the Building shall comply with all Hazardous
Materials Laws.

expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the
charges of such contractor(s), the consulting engineer, and Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.
(iv) Each of the covenants and agreements of Tenant set forth in this Paragraph
6(g) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
7. UTILITIES AND SERVICES
(a) Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord shall furnish, or cause to be
furnished to the Premises, Tenant’s Total Proportionate Share of the Building’s Electricity
(defined below) and Tenant’s Total Proportionate Share of Building’s HVAC (defined below), subject
to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set forth therein and in this Lease.
Landlord acknowledges and agrees that as of the Commencement Date, the Building contains (i) a 10
megahertz feeder for electricity (“Building’s Electricity”), and (ii) 2600 tons of cooling
capacity (“Building’s HVAC”). During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use
Tenant’s Total Proportionate Share of the Building’s Electricity and the Building’s HVAC in the
Premises.
(b) Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord and to comply with all
regulations and requirements which Landlord may from time to time prescribe for the use of the
utilities and services described herein. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of
any other tenant, or its assignees, subtenants, employees, or their respective invitees, licensees,
agents or other representatives to comply with such regulations and requirements.
(c) If Tenant requires utilities or services in quantities greater than Tenant’s Total
Proportionate Share of the Building’s Electricity and/or the Building’s HVAC, then Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, upon receipt of a written statement therefor, Landlord’s charge for such use. In the
event that Tenant shall require additional (i)
H-16
electric current, in excess of the Building’s Electricity, or (ii) water or gas in excess of
Tenant’s Total Proportionate Share for water or gas for Tenant’s use in the Premises, and if, in
Landlord’s judgment, such excess requirements cannot be furnished unless additional risers,
conduits, feeders, switchboards and/or appurtenances are installed in the Building, subject to the
conditions stated below, Landlord shall proceed to install the same at the sole cost of Tenant,
payable upon demand in advance. The installation of such facilities shall be conditioned upon
Landlord’s consent, and a determination that the installation and use thereof (i) shall be
permitted by applicable Law and insurance regulations, (ii) shall not cause permanent damage or
injury to the Building or adversely affect the value of the Building or the Project, and (iii)
shall not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or interfere with or disturb other
tenants in the Building. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall, upon reasonable prior notice by
Tenant, furnish to the Premises additional elevator, heating, air conditioning and/or cleaning
services upon such reasonable terms and conditions as shall be determined by Landlord, including
payment of Landlord’s charge therefor. In the case of any additional utilities or services to be
provided in this paragraph, Landlord may require a switch and metering system to be installed so as
to measure the amount of such additional utilities or services. The cost of installation,
maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant upon demand.
(d) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any damages,
abatement or reduction of Rent, or other liability by reason of any failure to furnish any services
or utilities described herein for any reason (other than Landlord’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct), including, without limitation, when caused by accident, breakage, repairs, Alterations
or other improvements to the Project, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor
disputes of any character, governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action,
inability to obtain electricity, water or fuel, or any other cause beyond Landlord’s control.
Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate with the energy conservation efforts of governmental
agencies or utility suppliers. No such failure, stoppage or interruption of any such utility or
service shall be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor shall the same relieve Tenant from any
obligation to perform any covenant or agreement under this Lease. In the event of any failure,
stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to restore all
services promptly. No representation is made by Landlord with respect to the adequacy or fitness of
the Building’s ventilating, air conditioning or other systems to maintain temperatures as may be
required for the operation of any computer, data processing or other special equipment of Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 7 to the contrary, if an interruption or
cessation of a utility service to the Premises from a cause within the reasonable control of
Landlord results in the Premises being unusable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenant’s business,
then Basic Annual Rent and Operating Costs shall be abated commencing on that date which is five
(5) business days following the date Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of such
interruption and continuing until either such utility service to the Premises is restored or the
Premises is again usable for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Additionally, if an interruption or
cessation of a utility service to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises from a cause within
the reasonable control of Landlord results in more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises being
unusable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenant’s business for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease for the entire Premises
by providing Landlord with written notice of such termination following such one hundred eighty
(180) day period but prior to the restoration of utility services to the Premises or portion of the
Premises being affected. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, if the interruption
or cessation of utility services is caused by fire or other casualty, or by condemnation, then this
paragraph shall not apply and the provisions of Paragraph 9 (in the event of a fire or
other casualty) or Paragraph 10 (in the event of a condemnation) shall prevail in
determining Tenant’s rights to abatement of Rent and Tenant shall not have a right to terminate
this Lease under this Paragraph 7(d).
(e) Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory
modifications to the above standards for utilities and services.
8. NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD; INSURANCE
(a) Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage suffered by Tenant or to any
person or property occurring or incurred in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project from
any cause, UNLESS SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD
INDEMNITEE (DEFINED BELOW), BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED BY THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH LANDLORD INDEMNITEE (DEFINED BELOW), Without limiting
the foregoing, neither Landlord nor any of its partners, officers, trustees, affiliates, directors,
employees, contractors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Affiliates”) shall be
liable for
H-17

condemnation as set forth in Paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Lease) for (i) any damage to
Tenant’s property stored with or entrusted to Affiliates of Landlord, (ii) loss of or damage to any
property by theft or any other wrongful or illegal act, or (iii) any injury or damage to persons or
property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain
which may leak from any part of the Building or the Project or from the pipes, appliances,
appurtenances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other
place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever or from the acts or omissions of
other tenants, occupants or other visitors to the Building or the Project or from any other cause
whatsoever, (iv) any diminution or shutting off of light, at or view by any structure which may be
erected on lands adjacent to the Building, whether within or outside of the Project, or (v) any
latent or other defect in the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall give prompt
notice to Landlord in the event of (i) the occurrence of a fire or accident in the Premises or in
the Building, or (ii) the discovery of a defect therein or in the fixtures or equipment thereof
This Paragraph 8(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its
designated property management company, and their respective partners, members, affiliates and
subsidiaries, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, servants,
partners, representatives, insurers and agents (collectively, “Landlord Indemnities”) for,
from and against all liabilities, claims, penalties, costs, damages or injuries to persons, damages
to property, losses, liens, causes of action, suits, judgments and expenses (including court costs,
attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and costs of investigation), of any nature, kind or
description of any person or entity, directly or indirectly arising out of, caused by, or resulting
from (in whole or part) (1) Tenant’s construction of or use, occupancy or enjoyment of the
Premises, (2) any activity, work or other things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant and its
agents and employees in or about the Premises, (3) any breach or default in the performance of any
of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (4) any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct
of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, employees, business invitees or licensees, or (5) any
damage to Tenant’s property, or the property of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, business
invitees or licensees, located in or about the Premises (collectively, “Liabilities”); EVEN
IF SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEE, BUT NOT TO THE
EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH
LANDLORD INDEMNITEE. This Paragraph 8(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
(c) Tenant shall promptly advise Landlord in writing of any action, administrative or legal
proceeding or investigation as to which this indemnification may apply, and Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense, shall assume on behalf of each and every Landlord Indemnitee and conduct with due
diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
provided, however, that any Landlord Indemnitee shall have the right, at its option, to be
represented therein by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense. In the event
of failure by Tenant to fully perform in accordance with this Paragraph, Landlord, at its option,
and without relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder, may so perform, but all costs and
expenses so incurred by Landlord in that event shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, together
with interest on the same from the date any such expense was paid by Landlord until reimbursed by
Tenant, at the rate of interest provided to be paid on judgments, by the law of the jurisdiction to
which the interpretation of this Lease is subject. The indemnification provided in Paragraph 8(b)
shall not be limited to damages, compensation or benefits payable under insurance policies,
workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employees’ benefit acts. Landlord and
Landlord’s Indemnities shall cooperate fully with Tenant in the defense of any claims under this
paragraph of the Lease.
(d) Insurance.
(i) Tenant at all times during the Lease Term shall, at its own expense, keep in full
force and effect (A) commercial general liability insurance providing coverage against
bodily injury and disease, including death resulting therefrom, bodily injury and property
damage to a combined single limit of $3,000,000 to one or more than one person as the result
of any one accident or occurrence, which shall include provision for contractual liability
coverage insuring Tenant for the performance of its indemnity obligations set forth in this
Paragraph 8 of this Lease, (B) worker’s compensation insurance to the statutory
limit, if any, and employer’s liability insurance to the limit of $500,000 per occurrence,
and (C) All Risk or special purpose personal property insurance covering full replacement
value of all of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and improvements in the Premises.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if there is
H-18
any flooding of the Premises or the Building that Tenant shall be solely and fully
responsible and liable for all of Tenant’s business losses related to such flooding and for
any damage to Tenant’s property, equipment, furniture and other items located in the
Premises. Landlord and its designated property management firm shall be named an additional
insured on each of said policies (excluding the worker’s compensation policy) and said
policies shall be issued by an insurance company or companies authorized to do business in
Colorado and which have policyholder ratings not lower than “A-” and financial ratings not
lower than “VII” in Best’s Insurance Guide (latest edition in effect as of the Date of Lease
and subsequently in effect as of the date of renewal of the required policies). EACH OF SAID
POLICIES SHALL ALSO INCLUDE A WAIVER OF SUBROGATION PROVISION OR ENDORSEMENT IN FAVOR OF
LANDLORD, AND AN ENDORSEMENT PROVIDING THAT LANDLORD SHALL RECEIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR
WRITTEN NOTICE OF ANY CANCELLATION OF, NONRF,NEWAL OF, REDUCTION OF COVERAGE OR MATERIAL
CHANGE IN COVERAGE ON SAID POLICIES. Tenant hereby waives its right of recovery against any
Landlord Indemnitee of any amounts paid by Tenant or on Tenant’s behalf to satisfy
applicable worker’s compensation laws. The policies or duly executed certificates showing
the material terns for the same, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the
premiums therefor, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the
Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
expiration of the tern of such coverage. If certificates are supplied rather than the
policies themselves, Tenant shall allow Landlord, at all reasonable times, to inspect the
policies of insurance required herein.
(ii) It is expressly understood and agreed that the coverages required represent
Landlord’s minimum requirements and such are not to be construed to void or limit Tenant’s
obligations contained in this Lease, including without limitation Tenant’s indemnity
obligations hereunder. Neither shall (A) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any
insurance company carrying Tenant, (B) the failure of any insurance company to pay claims
occurring nor (C) any exclusion from or insufficiency of coverage be held to affect, negate
or waive any of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Paragraph 8 and
Paragraph 6(g)(ii) or any other provision of this Lease. With respect to insurance
coverages, except worker’s compensation, maintained hereunder by Tenant and insurance
coverages separately obtained by Landlord, all insurance coverages afforded by policies of
insurance maintained by Tenant shall be primary insurance as such coverages apply to
Landlord, and such insurance coverages separately maintained by Landlord shall be excess,
and Tenant shall have its insurance policies so endorsed. The amount of liability insurance
under insurance policies maintained by Tenant shall not be reduced by the existence of
insurance coverage under policies separately maintained by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for any premiums, assessments, penalties, deductible assumptions, retentions,
audits, retrospective adjustments or any other kind of payment due under its policies.
(iii) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises without delivering the certificates of
insurance shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations to provide the required
coverages. If Tenant provides to Landlord a certificate that does not evidence the coverages
required herein, or that is faulty in any respect, such shall not constitute a waiver of
Tenant’s obligations to provide the proper insurance.
(iv) Throughout the Lease Term, Landlord agrees to maintain (i) fire and extended
coverage insurance on the insurable portions of Building and the remainder of the Project in
an amount not less than the fair replacement value thereof, subject to reasonable
deductibles (ii) boiler and machinery insurance amounts and with deductibles that would be
considered standard for similar class office building in the city in which the Project is
located and (iii) commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit
coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. All such insurance shall be obtained from
insurers Landlord reasonably believes to be financially responsible in light of the risks
being insured. The premiums for any such insurance shall be a part of Operating Costs.
(e) Mutual Waivers of Recovery. Landlord, Tenant, and all parties claiming under them,
each mutually release and discharge each other from responsibility for that portion of any loss or
damage paid or reimbursed by an insurer of Landlord or Tenant under any fire, extended coverage or
other property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to its Premises or by Landlord
with respect to the Building or the Project (or which would have been paid had the insurance
required to be maintained hereunder been in full force and effect), no matter how caused, including
negligence, and each waives any right of recovery from the other including, but not
H-19
limited to, claims for contribution or indemnity, which might otherwise exist on account
thereof. Any fire, extended coverage or property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect
to the Premises, or Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project, shall contain, in the
case of Tenant’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Landlord,
and in the case of Landlord’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor
of Tenant, or, in the event that such insurers cannot or shall not include or attach such waiver of
subrogation provision or endorsement, Tenant and Landlord shall obtain the approval and consent of
their respective insurers, in writing, to the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify,
protect, defend and hold harmless each and all of the Landlord Indemnitees from and against any
claim, suit or cause of action asserted or brought by Tenant’s insurers for, on behalf of, or in
the name of Tenant, including, but not limited to, claims for contribution, indemnity or
subrogation, brought in contravention of this paragraph. The mutual releases, discharges and
waivers contained in this provision shall apply EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE TO WHICH THIS PROVISION
APPLIES IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR TENANT.
(f) Business Interruption. Landlord shall not be responsible for, and Tenant releases
and discharges Landlord from, and Tenant further waives any right of recovery from Landlord for,
any loss for or from business interruption or loss of use of the Premises suffered by Tenant in
connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, EVEN IF SUCH LOSS IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN
PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD.
(g) Adjustment of Claims. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and Landlord’s insurers
in the adjustment of any insurance claim pertaining to the Building or the Project or Landlord’s
use thereof.
(h) Increase in Landlord’s Insurance Costs. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord any
increase in premiums for Landlord’s insurance policies resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of
the Premises.
(i) Failure to Maintain Insurance. Any failure of Tenant to obtain and maintain the
insurance policies and coverages required hereunder or failure by Tenant to meet any of the
insurance requirements of this Lease shall constitute an event of default hereunder, and such
failure shall entitle Landlord to pursue, exercise or obtain any of the remedies provided for in
Paragraph 12(b), and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any loss suffered by Landlord
as a result of such failure. In the event of failure by Tenant to maintain the insurance policies
and coverages required by this Lease or to meet any of the insurance requirements of this Lease,
Landlord, at its option, and without relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder, may obtain said
insurance policies and coverages or perform any other insurance obligation of Tenant, but all costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining such insurance or performing Tenant’s insurance
obligations shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, together with interest on same from the date
any such cost or expense was paid by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant, at the rate of interest
provided to be paid on judgments, by the law of the jurisdiction to which the interpretation of
this Lease is subject.
9. FIRE OR CASUALTY
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 9, in the event the Premises, or
access thereto, is wholly or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall (to the
extent permitted by Law and covenants, conditions and restrictions then applicable to the Project)
rebuild, repair or restore the Premises and access thereto to substantially the same condition as
existing immediately prior to such destruction and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Landlord’s obligation to rebuild, repair or restore the
Premises shall not apply to any personal property, above-standard tenant improvements or other
items installed or contained in the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever
to rebuild, repair or restore the Premises with respect to any damage or destruction occurring
during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension of the term.
(b) Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease in any of the following cases of damage or
destruction to the Premises, the Building or the Project: (i) where the cost of rebuilding,
repairing and restoring (collectively, “Restoration”) of the Building or the Project,
would, regardless of the lack of damage to the Premises or access thereto, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord, exceed thirty percent (30%) of the then replacement cost of the Building; (ii)
where, in the case of any damage or destruction to any portion of the Building or the Project by
uninsured casualty, the cost of Restoration of the Building or the Project, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord,
H-20
exceeds $2,000,000; or (iii) where, in the case of any damage or destruction to the Premises
or access thereto by uninsured casualty, the cost of Restoration of the Premises or access thereto,
in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the replacement cost of the
Premises. Any such termination shall be made by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant
given within sixty (60) days of the date of such damage or destruction. If this Lease is not
terminated by Landlord and as the result of any damage or destruction, the Premises, or a portion
thereof, are rendered untenantable, the Basic Annual Rent and any Additional Rent shall xxxxx
(based upon the extent to which such damage and Restoration materially interfere with Tenant’s
business in the Premises from the time of the casualty); provided, however, Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease if more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises are rendered
untenantable for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of damage or destruction
(the “180 Day Period”) by delivering written notice to Landlord of its intent to terminate
this Lease after the 180 Day Period, but prior to the substantial completion of the Restoration of
the Premises. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of’ damage to
or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
10. EMINENT DOMAIN
In the event the whole of the Premises, the Building or the Project shall be taken under the
power of eminent domain, or sold to prevent the exercise thereof (collectively, a
“Taking”), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such Taking. In the
event a Taking of a portion of the Project, the Building or the Premises shall, in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord, substantially interfere with Landlord’s operation thereof, Landlord may
terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant given at any time within sixty
(60) days following the date of such Taking. For purposes of this Lease, the date of Taking shall
be the earlier of the date of transfer of title resulting from such Taking or the date of transfer
of possession resulting from such Taking. In the event that a portion of the Premises is so taken
and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall, with reasonable diligence, use commercially
reasonable efforts to proceed to restore (to the extent permitted by Law and covenants, conditions
and restrictions then applicable to the Project) the Premises (other than Tenant’s personal
property and fixtures, and above-standard tenant improvements) to a complete, functioning unit. In
such case, the Basic Annual Rent shall be reduced proportionately based on the portion of the
Premises so taken. If all or any portion of the Premises is the subject of a temporary Taking, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform each of its
obligations under this Lease; in such case, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award
allocable to the temporary Taking of the Premises. Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not
assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for, and hereby assigns to Landlord,
any compensation in connection with any such Taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the
entire amount of any award therefor, without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant.
Nothing contained in this Paragraph 10 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or
prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the condemning authority for the Taking of personal
property, fixtures, above standard tenant improvements of Tenant or for relocation or moving
expenses recoverable by Tenant from the condemning authority. This Paragraph 10 shall be
Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Taking.
11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law
or otherwise, assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its
interest in this Lease or in the Premises or grant any license in or suffer any person other than
Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof without obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such
attempted assignment, subletting, license, mortgage, hypothecation, other encumbrance or other use
or occupancy without the consent of Landlord shall be null and void and of no effect. Any mortgage,
hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the
Premises and any grant of a license or sufferance of any person other than Tenant or its employees
to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof shall be deemed to be an “assignment” of this
Lease. In addition, as used in this Paragraph 11, the term “Tenant” shall also mean
any entity that has guaranteed Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and the restrictions
applicable to Tenant contained herein shall also be applicable to such guarantor. Landlord’s
agreement to not unreasonably withhold its consent shall only apply to the first assignment or
sublease under the Lease. Provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing under this
Lease, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to
assign all or part of the Premises to an Affiliate (defined below) of Tenant without Landlord’s
prior written consent, so long as it is to an Affiliate whose character and
H-21
business is consistent with the standard of the Building and the financial strength of the
Affiliate is equal to that of the Tenant at the time the Lease is executed.. The term
“Affiliate” shall mean any of the following: (i) an entity into which Tenant is merged or
consolidated or to an entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets at the Premises are
transferred; or (ii) an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
Tenant. The term “controlled by” or “commnon controlled with” shall mean the possession, direct or
indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such
controlled person or entity; the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent
(51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of
its affairs, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity shall
be presumed to constitute such control.
(b) Except for an initial public offering by Tenant, a change of more than 51% in the internal
ownership of Tenant shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, if the change in internal
ownership does not affect the character or business of Tenant and if the financial strength of
Tenant following such change of internal ownership is equal to or greater to that of the Tenant at
the time this Lease was executed, then Landlord shall automatically consent to such change in
internal control of Tenant.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no permitted assignment or
subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a
consent to any subletting or assignment. Consent by Landlord to one subletting or assignment shall
not be deemed to constitute a consent to any other or subsequent attempted subletting or
assignment. If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any
portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing
to Landlord all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee, all pertinent
information relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, and all such financial information as
Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant. Any approved
assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(d) At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the information specified
in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, and if such sublease or assignment is less than the
remainder of the Lease Term, then Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to terminate this
Lease as to the portion of the Premises so proposed to be subleased or assigned (which may include
all of the Premises), with a proportionate abatement in the Rent payable hereunder if an existing
tenant in the Building has a need for such subleased or assigned space.
(e) Tenant acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a
proposed assignment or sublease in any of the following instances:
(i) The assignee or sublessee is not, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, less
creditworthy than the Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease;
(ii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not the same as
set forth in this Lease or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(iii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would materially
increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Building;
(iv) Occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in the good faith
judgment of Landlord, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord, the Building or the
Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Building, or similar matters;
(v) The assignee or sublessee is a current tenant or subtenant within the Building or
Project;
(vi) The identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good
faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Building or
Project; or
H-22
(vii) In the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease
controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease.
The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its
consent to such assignment or sublease.
(f) Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall at all times during the initial term and any subsequent
renewals or extensions remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for
compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. In the event that the Rent due
and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease
or assignment, plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the Rent
payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord, as additional
rent hereunder, one-half of all such excess Rent and other excess consideration within ten (10)
days following receipt thereof by Tenant.
(g) If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises is subleased (whether in whole or in part),
or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold interest, or grant
of any concession or license within the Premises, or if the Premises are occupied in whole or in
part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect Rent
from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was
hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the
preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next Rent payable hereunder; and all such
Rent collected by Tenant shall be held in deposit for Landlord and immediately forwarded to
Landlord. No such transaction or collection of Rent or application thereof by Landlord, however,
shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by
Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.
(h) Should Tenant request of Landlord the right to assign or sublet its rights under this
Lease, Landlord shall charge Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of Landlord’s
legal fees up to a maximum amount of Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($750.00).
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event this Lease is
assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all
monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such
assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of
Landlord and shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant’s estate within the meaning of
the Bankruptcy Code. All such money and other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall
be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.
12. DEFAULT
(a) Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default
(herein so called) by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to make any payment of Rent,
Operating Costs or any other sums of money due pursuant to the Lease and such monetary default
continues to exist in full or part at the expiration of five (5) days after written notice is given
by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written
notice to Tenant three (3) times within any Lease Year and in the event Tenant fails to timely pay
Rent or any other sums for a fourth time during any Lease Year, then Tenant shall be in default for
such late payment and Landlord shall have no obligation or duty to provide notice of such
non-payment to Tenant prior to declaring an event of default under this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall
fail to comply with or observe any other provision of this Lease and such failure shall continue
for twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant (or, in the case of Tenant’s failure to comply
with or observe any other single provision of this Lease more than ten (10) times during the Lease
Term, upon the occurrence of the eleventh and all subsequent such failures, without notice from
Landlord); (iii) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant or
any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as
amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, and such
petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing, or Tenant or any guarantor of
Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed
thereunder; (v) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets
of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s
H-23
obligations hereunder, and such appointment shall not be vacated or otherwise terminated, and
the action in which such appointment was ordered dismissed, within sixty (60) days of filing; (vi)
Tenant shall fail to take possession of or shall desert, abandon or vacate the Premises; (vii) the
death of any guarantor; or (viii) the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or
(v) of this Paragraph (without regard to any cure periods contained therein), and the
failure thereafter of Tenant (A) to timely and fully make any payment of Rent or any other sum of
money due hereunder or (B) to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be
performed or observed by it hereunder. Notwithstanding the language in this Paragraph 12(a)(vi),
Tenant’s vacation of the Premises shall not constitute an event of default under the Lease if prior
to vacating the Premises, Tenant has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to (a)
insure that Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled with respect to the
Premises as a result of such vacancy, (b) insure that the Premises are secured and not subject to
vandalism, and (c) insure that the Premises will be properly maintained after such vacation. Tenant
shall inspect the Premises at least once each month and report monthly in writing to Landlord on
the condition of the Premises.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this Lease,
whether enumerated in this Paragraph or not, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or
more of the following remedies without any notice (except as expressly prescribed herein) or demand
for possession whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby
specifically waives notice and demand for payment of rent or other obligations due and waives any
and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable law):
(i) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the
Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon termination of the
Lease hereunder, Landlord may without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for
possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel
or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part
thereof, by force, if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of
damages therefor, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all
loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through
inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise, specifically including
but not limited to all Costs of Reletting (hereinafter defined) and any deficiency that may
arise by reason of any reletting. The Landlord shall take all reasonable measures to
mitigate damages suffered in such event.
(ii) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant or any
other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, by force, if
necessary, without having any civil or criminal liability therefor and without terminating
this Lease. Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises or any
part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise,
without notice to Tenant for such term or terms which may be greater or less than the period
which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and on such conditions
(which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord in its absolute
discretion may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason
of such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand all Costs of Reletting and any
deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall not be responsible or
liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to
collect any rent due upon any such reletting. No such re-entry or tatting of 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 termination is given to Tenant.
(iii) Enter upon the Premises by force if necessary without having any civil or
criminal liability therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terns of
this Lease and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expense which Landlord
may incur in thus affecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease together
with interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to (i) the highest lawful rate of
interest allowed by Colorado or federal law, or (ii) twelve percent (12%) and Tenant further
agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such
action.
(iv) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof, in which event,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (i) all rent accrued hereunder through the date of
termination, (ii) all Costs of Reletting, and (iii) an amount equal to (A) the total rent
that Tenant would have been required to pay for
H-24
the remainder of the Lease Term discounted to present value minus (B) the then present
fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted.
In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny Tenant access thereto, Landlord or its
agent may, at the expense and liability of the Tenant, alter or change any or all locks or other
security devices controlling access to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind to
Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant a key or grant Tenant access to the
Premises so long as Tenant is in default under this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to recover
possession of the Premises, terminate this Lease, or recover any actual, incidental, consequential,
punitive, statutory or other damages or award of attorneys’ fees, by reason of Landlord’s
alteration or change of any lock or other security device and the resulting exclusion from the
Premises of the Tenant or Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, invitees or
any other persons from the Premises. Landlord may, without notice, remove and either dispose of or
store, at Tenant’s expense, any property belonging to Tenant that remains in the Premises after
Landlord has regained possession thereof. Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this
subparagraph of this Lease supersedes applicable statutory provisions of the Colorado Revised
Statutes and Tenant further warrants and represents that it hereby knowingly waives any rights it
may have thereunder.
(c) For purposes of this Lease, the term “Costs of Reletting” shall mean all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the reletting of the
Premises, including without limitation the cost of cleaning, renovation, repairs, decoration and
alteration of the Premises for a new tenant or tenants, advertisement, marketing, brokerage and
legal fees, the cost of protecting or caring for the Premises while vacant, the cost of removing
and storing any property located on the Premises, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the
vacancy of the Premises and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord including tenant
inducements such as the cost of moving the new tenant or tenants and the cost of assuming any
portion of the existing lease(s) of the new tenant(s).
(d) Except as otherwise herein provided, no repossession or re-entering on the Premises or any
part thereof pursuant to subparagraph (b) hereof or otherwise shall relieve Tenant or any
Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such
repossession or re-entering. Notwithstanding any such repossession or re-entering on the Premises
or any part thereof by reason of the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant will pay to Landlord
the Basic Annual Rent and other rent or other sum required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease.
(e) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement,
applicable law or in equity. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall
be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the
violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the other covenants,
agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at
law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce 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.
(f) This Paragraph shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such enforcement is not
prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby
render unenforceable any other portion. To the extent any provision of applicable law requires some
action by Landlord to evidence or effect the termination of this Lease or to evidence the
termination of Tenant’s right of occupancy, Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that written notice by
Landlord to any of Tenant’s agents, servants or employees, which specifically sets forth Landlord’s
intention to terminate, shall be sufficient to evidence and effect the termination herein provided
for.
13. ACCESS; CONSTRUCTION
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will implement a security plan for the protection of
classified information. Such plan shall be reasonably approved by Landlord and any right of access
to the Premises shall be consistent with such plan. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that some of
the information and data possessed by Tenant is governed by The Arms Export Control Act and the
International Traffic in Arms Control Regulations (“ITAR”). Access to areas in which ITAR
information or data resides shall be subject to conformance with the ITAR
H-25
regulations and Landlord
and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to comply with such regulations. Landlord
reserves the right to use the roof and exterior walls of the Premises and the area beneath,
adjacent to and above the Premises, together with the right to install, use, maintain, repair,
replace and relocate equipment, machinery, meters, pipes, ducts, plumbing, conduits and wiring
through the Premises, which serve other portions of the Building or the Project in a manner and in
locations which do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. In addition,
Landlord shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations of Landlord or Tenant,
including, without limitation, machine rooms, telephone rooms and electrical closets. Tenant agrees
that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which materially interfere
with or which threaten to materially interfere with Landlord’s free access thereto, or materially
interfere with the moving of Landlord’s equipment to or from the enclosures containing said
installations. Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (except in the event of an
emergency, when no notice shall be necessary), Landlord reserves and shall at any time and all
times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service and
any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to exhibit the Premises to
prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility, to alter,
improve, restore, rebuild or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building, or to do any
other act permitted or contemplated to be done by Landlord hereunder, all without being deemed
guilty of an eviction of Tenant and without liability for abatement of Rent or otherwise. For such
purposes, Landlord may also erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably
required by the character of the work to be performed. Landlord shall conduct all such inspections
and/or improvements, alterations and repairs so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably practical
and without additional expense to Landlord, any interruption of or interference with the business
of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or
interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and
any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of such purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and
retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises (excluding
Tenant’s vaults and safes, access to which shall be provided by Tenant upon Landlord’s reasonable
request). Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper in
an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises or any portion thereof, and Landlord shall
have the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to provide whatever access control measures it
deems reasonably necessary to the Project, without any interruption or abatement in the payment of
Rent by Tenant. Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means shall not
under any circumstances be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the
Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. No provision of this
Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, Alterations or decorations
to the Premises or the Project except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
14. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
15. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
16. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
(a) Tenant agrees that this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be subject and
subordinate to any and all deeds of trust, security interests, mortgages, master leases, ground
leases or other security documents and any and all modifications, renewals, extensions,
consolidations and replacements thereof (collectively, “Security Documents”) which now or
hereafter constitute a lien upon or affect the Project, the Building or the Premises. Such
subordination shall be effective without the necessity of the execution by Tenant of any additional
document for the purpose of evidencing or effecting such subordination. In addition, Landlord shall
have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such Security Documents to this Lease
and in such case, in the event of the termination or transfer of Landlord’s estate or interest in
the Project by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents, Tenant
shall, notwithstanding such subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in
interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in interest. Furthermore, Tenant shall within
fifteen (15) days of demand therefor execute any instruments or other documents which may be
required by Landlord or the holder of any Security Document and specifically shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor a subordination of lease or
subordination of deed of trust, in the form required by the holder of the Security Document
requesting the document; the failure to do so by Tenant within such time period shall be a material
default hereunder; provided, however, the new landlord or the holder of any Security Document shall
agree that Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed as long as Tenant is not
in default under this Lease.
H-26
(b) If any proceeding is brought for default under any ground or master lease to which this
Lease is subject or in the event of foreclosure or the exercise of the power of sale under any
mortgage, deed of trust or other Security Document made by Landlord covering the Premises, at the
election of such ground lessor, master lessor or purchaser at foreclosure, Tenant shall attorn to
and recognize the same as Landlord under this Lease, provided such successor expressly agrees in
writing to be bound to all future obligations by the terms of this Lease, and if so requested,
Tenant shall enter into a new lease with that successor on the same terms and conditions as are
contained in this Lease (for the unexpired term of this Lease then remaining),
(c) In addition to any statutory lien for Rent in Landlord’s favor, Landlord (the secured
party for purposes hereof) shall have and Tenant (the debtor for purposes hereof) hereby grants to
Landlord, an express contract lien and a continuing security interest to secure the payment of all
Rent due hereunder from Tenant, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory
and other personal property of Tenant (and any transferees or other occupants of the Premises)
presently or hereafter situated on the Premises and upon all proceeds of any insurance which may
accrue to Tenant by reason of damage or destruction of any such property. In the event of a default
under this Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law,
all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises is
located, including without limitation the right to sell the property described in this paragraph at
public or private sale upon ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant, which notice Tenant hereby agrees is
adequate and reasonable. Tenant hereby agrees to execute such other instruments necessary or
desirable in Landlord’s discretion to perfect the security interest hereby created. Any statutory
lien for Rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition
and supplementary thereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease and the security interest
granted herein serve as a financing statement, and a copy or photographic or other reproduction of
this paragraph of this Lease may be filed of record by Landlord and have the same force and effect
as the original. Tenant warrants and represents that the collateral subject to the security
interest granted herein is not purchased or used by Tenant for personal, family or household
purposes. Tenant further warrants and represents to Landlord that the lien granted herein
constitutes a first and superior lien and that Tenant will not allow the placing of any other lien
upon any of the property described in this paragraph without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(d) Tenant shall, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior notice by Landlord, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying to those facts for which
certification has been requested by Landlord or any current or prospective purchaser, holder of any
Security Document, ground lessor or master lessor, including, but without limitation, that (i) 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), (ii) the dates to
which the Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid, if any,
and (iii) whether or not to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance
of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such
default of which Tenant may have knowledge. The form of the statement attached hereto as
Exhibit E is hereby approved by Tenant for use pursuant to this subparagraph (d);
however, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to use other forms for such purpose.
Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such statement within such time shall, at the option of
Landlord, constitute a material default under this Lease and, in any event, shall be conclusive
upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord in any such certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for
execution. Any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 16 may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser of the fee of the Building or the Project or any mortgagee, ground lessor or
other like encumbrancer thereof or any assignee of any such encumbrance upon the Building or the
Project.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contra y in this Article 16, with respect to any
future first lien mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens entered into by Landlord and any
mortgagee and/or beneficiary of any deed of trust or other lien (landlord’s mortgagee), Landlord
shall use best efforts to obtain within sixty (60) days of original occupancy by Tenant or within
sixty (60) days from the date same are entered into (as the case may be), a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Landlord’s mortgagee for the benefit of Tenant that
will be executed and delivered by Landlord’s mortgagee to Tenant. Landlord represents and warrants
to Tenant that as of the effective date of this Lease, there is no lender or mortgagee with a lien
against the Building.
H-27
17. SALE BY LANDLORD; TENANT’S REMEDIES; NONRECOURSE LIABILITY
(a) In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building or the Project, Landlord
shall be released from any and all liability under this Lease. If the Security Deposit has been
made by Tenant prior to such
sale or conveyance, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser, and upon
delivery to Tenant of notice thereof, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability in
reference thereto.
(b) Landlord shall not be in default of any obligation of Landlord hereunder unless Landlord
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice of such failure from Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall
not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. All obligations of Landlord under this
Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not
thereafter. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions;
and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this
Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
(c) Any liability of Landlord for a default by Landlord under this Lease, or a breach by
Landlord of any of its obligations under the Lease, shall be limited solely to its interest in the
Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection
with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. Tenant’s
sole and exclusive remedy for a default or breach of this Lease by Landlord shall be either (i) an
action for damages, or (ii) an action for injunctive relief; Tenant hereby waiving and agreeing
that Tenant shall have no offset rights or right to terminate this Lease on account of any breach
or default by Landlord under this Lease. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Landlord ever be
liable for punitive, consequential or special damages under this Lease and Tenant waives any rights
it may have to such damages under this Lease in the event of a breach or default by Landlord under
this Lease.
(d) As a condition to the effectiveness of any notice of default given by Tenant to Landlord,
Tenant shall also concurrently give such notice under the provisions of Paragraph 17(b) to
each beneficiary under a Security Document encumbering the Project of whom Tenant has received
written notice (such notice to specify the address of the beneficiary). In the event Landlord shall
fail to cure any breach or default within the time period specified in subparagraph (b),
then prior to the pursuit of any remedy therefor by Tenant, each such beneficiary shall have an
additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if such default cannot reasonably
be cured within such period, then each such beneficiary shall have such additional time as shall be
necessary to cure such default, provided that within such thirty (30) day period, such beneficiary
has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies available to it which are necessary to cure
such default (including, without limitation, as appropriate, commencement of foreclosure
proceedings).
18. PARKING; COMMON AREAS
(a) Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the number of non-reserved parking spaces
located in the parking areas of the Project specified in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions for
the parking of operational motor vehicles used by Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors and
visitors only. Landlord reserves the right, at any time upon written notice to Tenant, to designate
the location of Tenant’s parking spaces as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. The
use of such spaces shall be subject to the rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to
time for the use of the parking areas. Landlord further reserves the right to make such changes to
the parking system as Landlord may deem necessary or reasonable from time to time (i.e., Landlord
may provide for one or a combination of parking systems, including, without limitation,
self-parking, single or double stall parking spaces, and valet assisted parking); provided,
however, any such changes shall not materially and adversely effect Tenant’s right to use the
number of non-reserved parking spaces located in the parking areas of the Project as set forth
above. Tenant agrees that Tenant, its officers and employees shall not be entitled to park in any
reserved or specially assigned areas designated by Landlord from time to time in the Project’s
parking areas. Landlord may require execution of an agreement with respect to the use of such
parking areas by Tenant and/or its officers and employees in form satisfactory to Landlord as a
condition of any such use by Tenant, its officers and employees. A default by Tenant, its officers
or employees in the payment of such charges, the compliance with such rules and regulations, or the
performance of such agreement(s) shall constitute a material
H-28
default by Tenant hereunder. Tenant
shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s
officers, employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in
areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any
of the prohibited activities described in this Paragraph, then Landlord shall have the right,
without notice, in addition to such other
rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge
the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.
(b) Subject to subparagraph (c) below and the remaining provisions of this Lease,
Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right, in common with others, to the use of such entrances,
lobbies, restrooms, elevators, ramps, drives, stairs, and similar access ways and service ways and
other common areas and facilities in and adjacent to the Building and the Project as are designated
from time to time by Landlord for the general nonexclusive use of Landlord, Tenant and the other
tenants of the Project and their respective employees, agents, representatives, licensees and
invitees (“Common Areas”). The use of such Common Areas shall be subject to the rules and
regulations contained herein and the provisions of any covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Building or the Project. Tenant shall keep all of the Common Areas free and clear of
any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or resulting from Tenant’s operations, and shall
use the Common Areas only for normal activities, parking and ingress and egress by Tenant and its
employees, agents, representatives, licensees and invitees to and from the Premises, the Building
or the Project. If, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, unauthorized persons are using the
Common Areas by reason of the presence of Tenant in the Premises, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord,
shall correct such situation by appropriate action or proceedings against all such unauthorized
persons. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Landlord at any time to remove any such
unauthorized persons from said areas or to prevent the use of any of said areas by unauthorized
persons. Landlord reserves the right to make such changes, alterations, additions, deletions,
improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building, the Project (including the Premises)
and the Common Areas as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, including, without
limitation, constructing new buildings and making changes in the location, size, shape and number
of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading areas, landscaped areas and
walkways; provided, however, that there shall be no unreasonable permanent obstruction of access to
or use of the Premises resulting therefrom. In the event that the Project is not completed on the
date of execution of this Lease, Landlord shall have the sole judgment and discretion to determine
the architecture, design, appearance, construction, workmanship, materials and equipment with
respect to construction of the Project. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the
contrary, the Common Areas shall not in any event be deemed to be a portion of or included within
the Premises leased to Tenant and the Premises shall not be deemed to be a portion of the Common
Areas. This Lease is granted subject to the terms hereof, the rights and interests of third parties
under existing liens, ground leases, easements and encumbrances affecting such property, all zoning
regulations, rules, ordinances, building restrictions and other laws and regulations now in effect
or hereafter adopted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project or any part
thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord specifically
reserves the right to redefine the term “Project” for purposes of allocating and
calculating Operating Costs so as to include or exclude areas as Landlord shall from time to time
determine or specify (and any such determination or specification shall be without prejudice to
Landlord’s right to revise thereafter such determination or specification). In addition, Landlord
shall have the right to contract or otherwise arrange for amenities, services or utilities (the
cost of which is included within Operating Costs) to be on a common or shared basis to both the
Project (i.e., the area with respect to which Operating Costs are determined) and adjacent areas
not included within the Project, so long as the basis on which the cost of such amenities, services
or utilities is allocated to the Project is determined on an arms-length basis or some other basis
reasonably determined by Landlord. In the case where the definition of the Project is revised for
purposes of the allocation or determination of Operating Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
Operating Costs for Office Space shall be appropriately revised to equal the percentage share of
all Rentable Area contained within the Project (as then defined) represented by the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that in no event shall Tenant’s Proportionate Share
of Operating Costs for Office Space increase due to Landlord redefining the term “Project.”
Landlord shall have the sole right to determine which portions of the Project and other areas, if
any, shall be served by common management, operation, maintenance and repair. Landlord shall also
have the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate and prorate any portion or portions of the
Operating Costs on a building-by-building basis, on an aggregate basis of all buildings in the
Project, or any other reasonable manner, and if allocated on a building-by-building basis, then
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space shall, as to the portion of the
Operating Costs so allocated, be based on the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the
Rentable Area of the Building.
H-29
19. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any legal action or proceeding brought by either
party against the other arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
(including, without limitation, court costs and expert witness fees) incurred in such action.
Such amounts shall be included in any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
(b) Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or of any breach by
Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof, or of any subsequent
breach by Tenant. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s
consent or approval under this Lease shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of
Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord
or Landlord’s agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of
the Premises, unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of the keys to any employee or
agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
The acceptance of any Rent by Landlord following a breach of this Lease by Tenant shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach unless such waiver is expressly
stated in a writing signed by Landlord.
(c) Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, disapproval or
certificate (“Notice”) required or desired to be given under this Lease shall be in writing
and given by certified mail, return receipt requested, by personal delivery or by Federal Express
or a similar nationwide overnight delivery service providing a receipt for delivery. Notices may
not be given by facsimile. The date of giving any Notice shall be deemed to be the date upon which
delivery is actually made by one of the methods described in this Section 19(c) (or
attempted if said delivery is refused or rejected). If a Notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday
or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. All notices, demands,
requests, consents, approvals, disapprovals, or certificates shall be addressed at the address
specified in Item 14 of the Basic Lease Provisions or to such other addresses as may be specified
by written notice from Landlord to Tenant and if to Tenant, at the Premises. Either party may
change its address by giving reasonable advance written Notice of its new address in accordance
with the methods described in this Paragraph; provided, however, no notice of either party’s change
of address shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after the addressee’s actual receipt thereof.
(d) Access Control. During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide security
personnel, equipment, procedures and systems as shall Landlord shall deem appropriate for a similar
class office building in the Denver, Colorado area, or as Landlord is required as set forth in
other leases in the Building. While the Project and the Premises may have certain security devices,
security systems, security personnel, or security patrol, Tenant shall take all necessary
precautions to safeguard its personnel and property, because there is no security system, security
device, security personnel, or patrol service available to completely protect Tenants from criminal
actions. No assurances, guarantees or representations can be given as to any protection afforded by

a copy thereof to each of the parties personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt

made in the same manner as set forth above. By agreement in writing, Landlord and Tenant may extend
the time to reach agreement either before or after the expiration thereof.
