5.2 MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT ADJUSTMENTS.
At the option of Landlord, on each anniversary of this Lease, including all

terms hereof by the Percentage increase in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Consumer Price Index, "All Urban Consumers," "All Items" 1967 = 100, for the
Denver Metropolitan Area ("Index"). It is acknowledged that the "Minimum Monthly
Rent" set forth herein is based upon the "All Items" Index published for the

shall be accomplished by multiplying the "Minimum Monthly Rent" established in
Paragraph 5.1 above by twelve (12) (the "Minimum Yearly Rent"), and then
multiplying the Minimum Yearly Rental by a fraction (the denominator of said
fraction being the Base Index, the numerator of the fraction being the most
recently published corresponding Index preceding the first day of the lease year

twelve (12) to arrive at the new Minimum Monthly Rent. The increased Minimum
Monthly Rent, as so determined, shall commence as of the first day of the month
immediately following the annual anniversary date and shall continue in equal
monthly installments until readjusted as herein provided. In the event said
Index ceases to be made available, Landlord shall use as a basis of calculation

Expenses is EIGHT AND 83/100's PERCENT (8.83%). If the Total Leasable Area of
the Building or Rentable Area of the Premises should change during the term
hereof, Landlord will adjust Tenant's percentage accordingly.

Additional Rent, $1,220.00 per month, which sum shall be held, without liability
for interest, in escrow ("Operating Expense Escrow"), so that Landlord shall
have a sufficient amount available for the payment of all Operating expenses

installment thereof as it falls due. In the case of special assessments which

(a) To terminate this Lease in which event Tenant shall immediately

29.3 CERTAIN DAMAGES.
In the event that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as
permitted in Paragraph 29.2(a), but on the contrary, elects to take possession
as provided in Paragraph 29.2(b) and terminate Tenant's right to possession of
the Premises, Tenant will pay to Landlord, at Landlord's election, damages based
upon one of the following calculations:

reasonable expenses in connection with such
reletting, including, without limitation, all

alteration and repair costs, and expenses of
preparation for such reletting.

part of the Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such
reletting and the expenses incurred in connection with such reletting as
provided in this paragraph will be made in determining the net proceeds from
such reletting, and any rent concessions will be equally apportioned over the
term of the new lease. Tenant will pay such rent and other sums to Landlord
monthly on the day on which the Rent would have been payable under this Lease if
possession had not been retaken and Landlord will be entitled to receive such
rent and other sums from Tenant on each such day.
(b) ACCELERATED RENT. An amount equal to Rent and other amounts which would
have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term less the net proceeds, if
any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to such
termination, after deducting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with such
reletting, including, without limitation, (the expenses enumerated in Paragraph
29.3(a), which amounts shall be the total of the following:
(i) The amount, at the time the award of damages is
calculated, of the unpaid Rent which had been earned
at the time Tenant's right to possession was
terminated together with interest at the rate set
forth in Paragraph 31 herein;
(ii) The amount, at the time the award of damages is
calculated, of the unpaid Rent which accrues
after the time Tenant's right to possession was
terminated to the date of such award, together
with interest at the rate set forth in Paragraph
31 herein, less the amount of such rental loss
that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided;
(iii) The amount, at the time the award of damages
is calculated, of the unpaid Rent that will
accrue after such date until the end of the term
of this Lease in effect at the time Tenant's
right to possession was terminated, less the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided, which amount
shall be computed by discounting such amount at
the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Kansas City, Missouri, at the time of award plus
one (1%) percent; and
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease
or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom.

on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an

that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and
Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies
which Landlord may have against Tenant.

the term of this Lease or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the payment
of such money, it being agreed that after the commencement of a suit, Landlord
may receive and collect any sums of Rent due, and the payment if such sums of
money whether as Rent or otherwise, shall not waive said notice, or in any
manner affect any pending suit or judgment theretofore or subsequently obtained.
In any event, and regardless of whether a suit at law or in equity is
commenced, and in addition to any sums due hereunder. Tenant shall be obligated
to pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses, including without
limitation all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, suffered or incurred
as a result of any breach of Tenant's obligations hereunder.

determination of Landlord, has abandoned the Premises, Landlord shall have the
right to remove all of the Tenant's property from the Premises and dispose of
said property in such manner as determined best by Landlord, all at the cost and
expense of Tenant and without liability of Landlord for the actions so taken.
No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power shall be
considered to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence thereof. The
acceptance of Rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach
of any of the covenants herein contained or of any of the rights of Landlord to
any remedies herein given.
30. NO IMPLIED WAIVER

of any covenant or agreement herein or to exercise any option, right, power or
remedy contained in the Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment thereof for the future. No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Rent due under this
Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent due
hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's
right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy that may be
provided for in this Lease.

any right or privilege connected therewith, or allow any other person except
agents and employees of Tenant to occupy the Premises or any part thereof
without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in the exercise of Landlord's reasonable discretion. For

constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding any such assignment or sublease
hereof, Tenant shall be fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released
from performing its terms, covenants, and conditions.
