LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is entered into this 26th day of February, 1998,
between Flatiron Park Company, hereinafter called "Lessor," and SpectraLink,
Corporation, hereinafter called "Lessee."
1. Introduction. The Lessor has the legal right to lease the real
property and improvements (hereinafter called "Premises") described in Exhibit
"A," which exhibit is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The
Premises comprise a portion of 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx. The
parties now desire to enter into an agreement providing for the Lessee's lease
of the Premises, and this document sets forth in writing the terms of their
agreement.
2. Premises, Term of Lease, Rental. The Lessor hereby leases the
Premises to the Lessee, and the Lessee hereby leases the Premises from the
Lessor, for a term commencing at 12:01 A.M. on the 1st day of April, 1998 and
ending at 11:59 P.M. on the 31st day of March, 2001, unless sooner terminated
as herein set forth. The Lessee agrees to pay Lessor as rent for the Premises
according to the terms of the RENT SCHEDULE in paragraph 31 of this lease. Said
rent is payable, in advance, by 12:00 noon on the first day of each and every
month of the term hereof at the office of the Lessor.
In the event that the tenancy commences on a date other than the
first day of a month, the rent for the first and last months of the tenancy
shall be prorated and paid on the date of commencement and the first day of the
last month, respectively.
3. Condition of Premises. The Lessor, shall deliver the Premises to
Lessee clean and free of debris on the Lease commencement date (unless the
Lessee is already in possession) and the Lessor warrants to the Lessee that the
plumbing, lighting, air-conditioning, and heating in the Premises shall be in
good operating condition on the Lease commencement
1
2
date. In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been violated,
then it shall be the obligation of the Lessor, after receipt of written notice
from the Lessee setting forth with the specificity nature of the violation, to
promptly rectify such violation. The Lessee's failure to give such written
notice within thirty (30) days after the Lease commencement date shall cause
the conclusive presumption that the Lessor has complied with all of the
Lessor's obligations hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph shall
be of no force or effect if, prior to this date, the Lessee was an occupant of
the Premises. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the Lessee
accepts the Premises in the condition existing as of the Lease commencement
date or the date that the Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is
earlier, and the Lessee hereby waives any and all warranties of condition or
habitability, suitability for occupancy, use, or habitation, merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, whether express or implied, relating to the
Premises.
4. Use of Premises. The Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not
without Lessor's previous written consent, use, suffer or permit the Premises,
or any part thereof, to be used for any purpose other than that of conducting
thereon an electronic research and development and manufacturing business.
Lessee acknowledges that its use of the Premises is subject to all applicable
zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises, and further subject to any covenants or
restrictions of record (a copy of such covenants and restrictions are attached
as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by reference). Lessee shall have no right to
grant utility easements or rights of way on the Premises or to permit the
construction or location on the Premises of utility equipment or infrastructure
without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee further agrees that no materials
(including toxic chemicals) other than trash and rubbish in sanitary containers
approved by Lessor will be placed outside the building. No vehicles of any kind
will be parked on the Premises except in the designated parking areas. No
vehicles will be parked at
2

the loading docks other than while being actively loaded or unloaded. No
vehicles, trailers, or other equipment of Lessee or its agents, employees, or
invitees shall be parked overnight on the Premises without the written
permission of Lessor.
5. Assignment. It is expressly understood and agreed by the Lessee
that the Lessee's leasehold interest may not be assigned or sublet in whole or
in part without in each case having first obtained the written consent of the
Lessor. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
6. Access to Premises. It is expressly understood and agreed by the
Lessee that the Lessor or their agents shall have free access at all reasonable
hours to the Premises for the purpose of examining the same or exhibiting the
same to prospective buyers or lessees (Lessor will use reasonable efforts to
screen all prospective buyers or Lessees to determine that they are not
competitors of Lessee and will give Lessee 24 hour notice before exhibiting the
Premises) or for making repairs on the Premises which the Lessor may desire to
make, or for accessing, servicing or installing utility equipment, transmission
lines, or other infrastructure on the Premises, Lessor will make reasonably
diligent efforts not to disturb Lessee's business during any Lessor's access.
Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means that Lessor may deem
necessary and proper to enter any portion of the Premises in an emergency, and
such entry shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a
forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises or an eviction,
actual or constructive, of the Lessee from the Premises.
7. Alterations. Lessee shall not make any alterations, additions, or
improvements including, but not limited to painting and signs, in or to the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably
withheld. In particular, and not by way of limitation, Lessee agrees that: (a)
Lessee will submit to Lessor all plans for signs to be erected, substituted,

constructed or permitted to remain on the Premises; (c) No apparatus of any
kind may be added to the exterior of the building by Lessee; and (d) No locks

additions, or improvements that the Lessee shall desire to make and which
require the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to the Lessor in written
form with scaled, detailed plans showing modifications of all electrical,
heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, plumbing and other systems as well as
modifications to walls, permanent partitions, doors and other structures, and
the Lessee shall furnish as-built scaled plans upon the completion of the
modifications. Lessee agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with any alterations, additions, or
improvements desired by Lessee, including, without limitation, the cost of any
additional construction, modifications, or improvements mandated under federal,
state, or local law as a result of Lessee's alterations, additions, or
improvements.
8. Landlord Not Liable. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages
occasioned by failure to keep the Premises in repair, and shall not be liable
for any damage done or occasioned by or from electrical current, plumbing, gas,
water, steam, or sewage, or the bursting, leaking, running or failure of
operation of any radiator, tank, water closet, wash stand, waste pipe, air
conditioning, or any other apparatus, above, upon, or about the Premises or the
Building, nor the damage occasioned by water, snow, or ice being upon any
sidewalk or entrance way, or being upon or coming through the roof, sky light,
trap door or any other opening in the Premises or the Building, nor from loss
suffered by fire, regardless of origin, wind, rain, flood or other elements,
nor from any damage arising from the action or negligence of Lessee or other
occupants of the Building or of any owners or occupants of its adjacent or
contiguous property. Lessee hereby releases, discharges, and agrees to
indemnify Lessor of and from any and all claims, demands, and liability for
any loss, damage, injury, or
4
5
other casualty to property, whether it be that of either of the parties hereto
or of third persons, whether they be third persons of Lessee or agents or
employees of Lessee, caused by, arising from, or happening in connection with
Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises or Lessee's use of any equipment,
facilities, or property in, on, or adjacent to the Premises or the Building.
Not-withstanding anything else in this Paragraph 8, if any of the damages are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents,
employees, guests, or invitees, Lessor is liable and Lessee does not indemnify
Lessor for claims related to such acts or omissions.
9. Additional Areas. It is expressly understood and agreed by Lessee
that if the Lessor shall furnish any automobile parking spaces, common areas,
or any other facilities, equipment or appliances outside of and in addition to
the Lessee's Premises, the same shall be deemed gratuitously furnished by the
Lessor and that if any person shall use the same, such person does so at his or
her own risk and upon the express understanding and stipulation that the Lessor
shall not be liable for any loss of property through theft, casualty, or
otherwise, or for any damage or injury whatsoever to person or property.
Maintenance of such additional areas for normal wear and tear shall be the
responsibility of Lessor, but Lessee agrees to be responsible for any
additional damage caused by its agents, employees, guests or invitees.
10. Additional Rent.
10.1 Utilities. Whenever possible, all utility services to the leased
premises, including, without limitation, gas, electricity, telecommunications,
water, and sewer, shall be contracted directly in the name of the Lessee, and
the Lessee shall be solely responsible for the direct payment of all utility
fees and service charges for such utilities. If, for any reason, it is not
possible for the Lessee to contract directly for any utility service, and the
cost of such service is billed to the Lessor, the Lessee shall pay Lessor
additional annual rent equal to the full amount of such utility fees and
service charges paid by Lessor. Where such a utility
5
6
service is metered by a common meter, the Lessor shall apportion the total cost
among the tenants serviced by such meter, taking into account the area leased,
type of business conducted, and any other factors deemed relevant by the
Lessor. Such apportionment shall be made in the Lessor's sole, good faith
judgment, and shall be final and binding upon Lessee.
10.2 Operating Expenses. In addition, the Lessee shall pay Lessor
additional annual rent equal to the cost of all operating expenses for the
Building multiplied by 50% percent. Operating expenses shall be limited to: (a)
taxes, assessments and governmental taxes, whether federal, state, county or
municipal, which are levied on or charged against the Premises and any other
taxes and assessments attributable to the Premises and its operation excluding,
however, federal and state income taxes; (b) all insurance premiums paid by the
Lessor attributable to the Premises; (c) all expenses incurred in connection
with the maintenance, operation, and repair of the Building, associated
equipment, adjacent walks, parking areas, and landscaped areas; (d) Building
and cleaning supplies and materials; (e) the cost of all charges for cleaning,
maintenance and service contracts, trash collection, snow removal, and other
services with independent contractors; (f) the reasonable amortization of any
capital improvements which are made or installed by Lessor after the
commencement of this Lease for the purpose of saving labor or otherwise
reducing applicable operating expenses; (g) all other costs and expenses
reasonably necessary in the operation and maintenance of a first class
Building; (h) the cost of all common area utility and service charges for the
Premises, including, without limitation, gas, electricity, water, and sewer.
Operating costs shall not include the cost of any work or service performed
specially by the Lessor for any lessee at the cost of such lessee, damages
caused by Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct, depreciation (except
as provided in "f" above), or financing costs (including interest or principal
amortization) paid by Lessor.

10.3 Payment of Additional Rent. Such additional rent shall be paid at
monthly intervals in advance within fifteen days after receipt of statements of
charges and/or estimated charges from Landlord. At the end of each calendar
year, or, at Lessor's option, at any other more frequent interval, Lessor shall
provide an accounting of the utility fees and service charges for the leased
premises paid by Lessor, if any, total operating expenses for the Building,
Lessee's share of operating expenses, and Lessee's payments toward such amounts
during the year or interval. During the thirty-day period following such
accounting, Lessor shall pay any excess to the Lessee if payments exceed
expenses, and the Lessee shall pay additional rent to Lessor if expenses exceed
payments.
11. Personal Property Taxes. The Lessee shall pay and discharge all
personal property taxes which are levied, assessed, imposed or charged upon its
personal property and inventory or which arise out of or result from the
activities carried on by the Lessee at or upon the leased Premises.
12. Insurance. The Lessee shall, at its expense, acquire a general
liability insurance policy effective as of the date of this Lease Agreement.
Said policy shall be acquired from a company qualified and permitted to do
business in the State of Colorado. Said policy shall be in the minimum total
amounts of $1,000,000.00 combined single limits for bodily injury and property
damage. Said policy shall be maintained in full force and effect during the
entire lease term and shall contain a provision prohibiting cancellation
thereof without at least ten (10) days' notice to the Lessor, who shall be a
named insured. A copy of the Policy and Current Declaration of coverage shall
be provided to the Lessor within ten (10) days after commencement of the lease
and each renewal date.
The Lessor shall maintain on the Building and other improvements (but
not Lessee's personal property, fixtures, equipment, and tenant improvements)
in which the Premises are located a policy of standard fire and extended
coverage insurance to the extent of at least
7
8
ninety percent (90%) of full replacement value. The insurance policy shall be
issued in the names of Lessor and Lessor's lender, as their interest appear,
and any proceeds shall be made payable to Lessor. The cost of such insurance
shall be passed on to the Lessee as part of the operating expenses for the
Building.
The parties release each other, and their respective authorized
representatives, from any claims for damages arising out of or incident to the
perils insured against or under the insurance policies carried by the parties
and in force at the time of such damage, whether due to the negligence of
Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, or invitees. The parties shall,
upon obtaining the policies of insurance required herein, give notice to the
insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation
is contained in this Agreement.
13. Indemnification. The Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold the
Lessor harmless from any claims, damages, liens, or judgments that may be
filed, entered or asserted against it by virtue of the Lessee's use of the
Premises or by virtue of any act of the Lessee, its agents, servants or
employees.
14. Condemnation. If all or a substantial part of the Premises is
taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use (or any transfer is made in
lieu thereof), and the part thereof which remains is not suitable for the
Lessee's business use, then this Lease shall, upon written notice from Lessee,
terminate as of the date that title is taken by the condemnor. Lessor shall,
after the taking of all or any portion of the Premises, provide the same amount
of square feet of usable building space for Lessee's operations in the immediate
vicinity of the Premises, and, in the event Lessor cannot do so, Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease, but shall not receive payment in any
form of compensation. All compensation awarded upon any such condemnation or
taking shall go to the Lessor except that the Lessee shall be
8
9
entitled to that part of the total award, if any, specifically allocated to the
value of the Lessee's fixtures so taken.
15. Release of Liens. Lessee expressly covenants and agrees that it
will, during the term hereof, promptly remove or release, by the posting of a
bond or otherwise, as required or permitted by law, any lien attached to or
upon the Premises or any portion thereof by reason of any act or omission on
the part of the Lessee, and it hereby expressly agrees to save and hold
harmless the Lessor from or against any such lien or claim of lien. In the
event any such lien does attach, or any claim of lien is made against the
Premises, which may be occasioned by any act or omission upon the part of the
Lessee, and it is not thus removed or released within thirty (30) days after
notice thereof, Lessor, in its sole discretion, (but nothing herein contained
shall be construed as requiring it so to do) may pay and discharge the said
lien and relieve the said demised Premises from any such lien, and the Lessee
agrees to pay and reimburse Lessor upon demand for or on account of any expense
which may be incurred by Lessor in connection with such lien of claim,
including reasonable attorney's fees.
16. Repair and Maintenance. The Lessor shall be responsible for all
repair, maintenance, and replacements required to maintain and keep the
Building in good condition and shall receive reimbursement of such costs as
part of the operating expenses for the Building; provided, however, that the
Lessee shall be wholly responsible for replacement of cracked or broken glass,
replacement of all incandescent and fluorescent lights and maintenance of all
light fixtures on the Premises and all damage to the Building resulting from
acts or omissions of the Lessee, its agents, employees or invitees. The Lessee
shall not be responsible for maintenance or repair resulting from acts or
omissions of other tenants, their agents, employees, or invitees.
17. Compliance With Laws and Regulation. The Lessee shall comply with
all laws and regulations of governmental entities, agencies or authorities
having jurisdiction over
9
10
the Premises and the uses made therein. The Lessee shall not permit a nuisance
to exist on the leased Premises.
18. Payments to Lessor. Until notice to the contrary is given to the
Lessee, all payments to be made to the Lessor hereunder shall be made by
delivering the same at the address of the Lessor as set forth in Paragraph 19
hereof so that payment is received by the Lessor on or before the due date.
19. Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given to a party
hereunder, said notice shall be in writing and shall be given to the party
entitled thereto by delivering a copy thereof to the party entitled thereto or
by mailing a copy thereof to the party entitled thereto by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested. If such notice is given by delivering
a copy to the person entitled thereto, said notice shall be complete and

20. Surrender of Premises. The Lessee shall, upon the termination of
this lease, whether said termination occurs due to the expiration of the lease
term or otherwise, surrender the Premises in as good a condition as when
entered upon, subject only to ordinary wear and tear. Upon the surrender of the
Premises, the Lessee shall, if it is not then in default hereunder, have the
right to remove its inventory, furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures from
the leased Premises provided that it repair all damage done to the leased
Premises in accomplishing said removal so as to leave the Premises in the same
condition as when entered upon, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
21. This paragraph intentionally left blank.
22. Premises Damages or Destroyed. In the event the Premises are
damaged or rendered wholly or partially unusable by fire, flood, windstorm,
explosion or any other casualty, then the rights and obligations of the parties
shall be as follows:
Lessor shall a) within ten days of the Casualty give Lessee a good
faith estimate of the time to repair or replace the damaged Premises, b) and if
reasonably possible complete the repair or replace said premises within 120
from date of the damage. In the event the repairs or replacements will not be
or are not completed within 120 days, the Lessee may at its option terminate
this lease, and all the Lessee's obligation for further rent payments shall
cease as of the date of said termination. Rent shall not be abated unless more
than 20 percent of the interior floor space in the Premises is rendered
untenantable and the total repairs are not completed in 30 days, in which event
there shall be an abatement of rent from the casualty date in proportion to the
portion of the interior floor space rendered untenantable. In no event shall
there be an abatement of rent if the damage is caused by any casualty on the
Premises as a result of acts or omissions of the Lessee.
The parties recognize that the Lessee on most occasions will be
storing valuable materials and equipment within the Premises. In the event the
Premises are so damaged by
11
12
such casualty that Lessee's property would be endangered by exposure to the
elements, and in the further event that Lessee desires to complete emergency
repairs, the restoration of any alterations to the Premises occasioned by
emergency repairs shall also be borne by the Lessee. Lessor shall have no
obligation to make such emergency repairs nor any liability for damage directly
or indirectly caused to Lessee's property by such casualty.
23. Default and Abandonment. If the Lessee defaults in any of its
obligations hereunder and fails to correct said default within ten days after
written notice thereof from the Lessor, or, if such breach is not in payment of
money, has not within said ten-day period of time commenced substantial efforts
to cure said breach and thereafter continued its efforts to cure said breach
with due diligence, or, if the Lessee abandons the Premises, which shall be
conclusively deemed to occur if Lessee makes no use of the Premises for fifteen
consecutive days during the term of this lease (except in the case of causality
to this Premises or any other reason not within the control of Lessee, in
which case Lessor has no such right), then the Lessor shall have the right to
declare this agreement terminated and to re-enter and take immediate possession
of the demised Premises, or, without in any way being obligated so to do, the
Lessor may elect to retake possession of said Premises and rent the same for
such rent and pursuant to such conditions as the Lessor believes best, making
such changes and repairs as may be required, and giving credit for the amount
of rent so received less all expenses for reletting, advertising, cleaning,
removal or storage of Lessee's property, and repairs, and in such event, said
Lessee shall be liable for the balance of the rent herein reserved until the
expiration of the term of this lease.
The Lessee shall pay unto the Lessor additional rent for late rent
payments as to all rental payments not made on or before the fifth (5th) day of
the month in which they are due, said additional rent to be five percent (5%)
of the rent payment so delinquent for each month or fraction thereof that such
payment is late; however the Lessor shall give Lessee 24 hours
12
13
notice before imposing said late fee. The parties agree that this late charge
is reasonable liquidated damages taking into account the time spent by Lessor,
its agents and employees because of such late rent payments, processing and
accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Lessor under the
trust deed covering the Premises.
In the event of a default by the Lessee in the performance of any of
its duties and obligations hereunder, the Lessee shall pay all costs incurred
by the Lessor in the enforcement of the provisions of this lease (including
this provision) as against said Lessee, said costs to include reasonable
attorneys' fees whether or not litigation is commenced.
24. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration of this lease and without the execution of a new lease, it
shall be deemed to be occupying said Premises as Lessee from month to month
at a rent equal to one and one half times the monthly rental being paid by it
at the time of said expiration of lease.
25. Bankruptcy. If at any time during the term hereof the Lessee
shall file a voluntary petition in Bankruptcy, or if an involuntary petition in
Bankruptcy shall be filed against Lessee if the same shall not be dismissed
within sixty (60) days, or if the Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if a receiver shall be appointed for Lessee, then the Lessor may,
at its option, in any of such events, immediately take possession of the
demised Premises and terminate this lease. Upon such termination, all
installments of rent earned to the date of termination and unpaid shall at once
become due and payable, and in addition thereto Lessor shall have all rights
provided by the Bankruptcy Code relative to the proof of claims on an
anticipatory breach on an executory contract.
26. Rent Regulations. If the rent to be paid by the Lessee to the
Lessor hereunder, whether pursuant to Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 24, is subject
to regulation by law, then the rent to be so paid shall be the maximum rental
permitted by said laws but in no event
13
14
in excess of the rent provided for or determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease Agreement.
27. Meaning of Words. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary
intention, all words used herein in one gender shall extend to and include
the other gender; all words in the singular number shall extend to and include
the plural; and all words used in the plural number shall extend to and include
the singular.
28. Remedies Not Exclusive. It is agreed that each and every one of
the rights, remedies and benefits provided by this lease shall be cumulative,
and shall not be exclusive of any other of said rights, remedies and benefits,
or of any other rights, remedies and benefits allowed by law.
29. Waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by the
Lessor shall not be construed as a waiver of a further breach of the same.
30. Lease Binding. The covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in this lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Lessor and
Lessee and their respective heirs, personal representatives and successors,
and except as otherwise provided in this lease, their assigns.

32. Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
lease, Lessor covenants that so long as the rental is current for the demised
Premises and there is no default in any of the covenants to be performed by
Lessee, the Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the demised
Premises for the entire term of this lease and any renewals thereof.
33. Subordination. This lease is and shall be subordinate to any
mortgage, deed of trust, or other security agreement now of record or recorded
after the date of this lease affecting the Premises. Such subordination is
effective without any further act of Lessee. Lessee shall from time to time on
request from Lessor execute and deliver any documents that may be required by a
lender to effectuate any subordination. If Lessee fails to execute and deliver
such documents, Lessee irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee's
special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such documents on Lessee's
behalf. Lessor will use reasonable effort to get a non-disturbance agreement
from applicable lenders.
34. Security Deposit. On execution of this lease, Lessee shall
deposit with Lessor $8,048.00 to be held by Lessor without liability for
interest, as a security deposit for the performance by Lessee of all its
obligations under this lease. If Lessee is in default, Lessor can use the
security deposit, or any portion of it, to cure the default or to compensate
Lessor for all damage sustained by Lessor resulting from Lessee's default.
Lessee shall, within fifteen (15) days of demand pay such amount to Lessor as
is necessary to restore the security deposit to the amount set forth above. At
the expiration or termination of this lease, Lessor shall return to Lessee that
portion of the security deposit remaining after application of such amounts as
are necessary to compensate Lessor for Lessee's defaults, if any.
35. Additional Rent and Interest. Any monetary obligations of Lessee
to Lessor under the terms of this lease shall be deemed to be rent. Any amount
due to Lessor under any of the provisions of this lease shall bear interest
from the date due at fifteen (15%) percent per annum, provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges nor any amounts
16
17
upon which late charges are paid. Payment of such interest shall not cure or
excuse any default by Lessee.
36. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
37. Prohibition on Animals. Lessee, its employees, authorized
representatives, and invitees shall not permit any access to or use of the
Premises or any part of the Premises by any animals, whether domestic or
agricultural. Any such use shall constitute a default under this lease, and
Lessee shall be fully responsible for any damages caused thereby.
