(a) Definition. The term "Rent" includes Base Rent, Excess Operating
Expenses and any and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease. All Rent
(plus any applicable taxes thereon) shall be payable to Landlord at the Address
for Payments set forth above, or to such other place or entity as may from time
to time be designated in writing by Landlord, in lawful money of the United

payment. Rent for any partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis based on
a 365-day calendar year. Tenant may make Rent payments by electronic transfer in
accordance with Landlord's instructions.
(b) Base Rent. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay

shall pay Landlord prepaid rent equal to the aggregate Base Rent payable through
the end of the first full calendar month of the Term, based on the Estimated

(c) Security Deposit. Concurrently with its execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall pay Landlord the Security Deposit in order to secure Tenant's faithful
performance under this Lease (without being considered Rent or a measure of
Landlords damages and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of

Security Deposit (or the remaining balance after application under this Lease)
shall be refunded to Tenant within 30 days after the latest of (i) the
Expiration Date; (ii) payment of all Rent due tinder this Lease; (iii) surrender

(a) Calculation, During the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenants
proportionate share of the amount (prorated for any partial calendar year) by
which Operating Expenses for each calendar year exceed Operating Expenses for
the Base Year ("Excess Operating Expenses" or "EOE"). Tenant's proportionate
share is equal to the RSF of the Premises divided by the RSF of the Building.
Operating Expenses are computed o an accrual basis in accordance with sound
accounting principles consistently applied. If the Building is less than fully
occupied or Building Standard services are not provided to the entire Building
during any calendar year (including the Base Year), all Operating Expenses which
vary directly with occupancy shall be "grossed-up" by Landlord as if the
Building had been fully occupied and Building Standard services had been
provided to the entire Building during such calendar year.

(iii) Janitorial service; window cleaning; waste disposal; gas, water
and sewer charges (including add-ons); and landscaping, including all applicable
tools and supplies.
(iv) Property, liability and other insurance coverages carried by
Landlord, including deductibles and an allocation of a portion of the cost of

whatsoever, general and special, extraordinary and ordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, including interest on installment payments, which may be levied or

operation or possession, or substituted, in whole or in part, for a tax
previously in existence by any taxing authority, or paid as rent under any
ground lease. Real estate taxes do not include Landlord's income, franchise or
estate taxes (except to the extent such excluded taxes are assessed in lieu of
taxes included above).
(vi) Compliance with Applicable Law, including license, permit and
inspection fees; and all expenses and fees, including attorneys fees and court
costs, incurred in negotiating or contesting real estate taxes or the validity
and/or applicability of any governmental enactments which may affect Operating

received from such negotiations or contests to the extent originally included in
Operating Expenses (less Landlords costs).
(vii) Security services, to the extent provided or contracted for by
Landlord,
6
(viii) Goods and services purchased from Landlord's subsidiaries and
affiliates to the extent the cost of same is generally consistent with rates
charged by unaffiliated third parties for similar goods and services (except no
such limitation shall apply in emergencies).
(ix) Depreciation (or amortization) of expenditures incurred: (A) to
conform with Applicable Law; (B) to maintain Building Standards; or (C) with the
intention of promoting safe or reducing or controlling increases in Operating
Expenses, such as lighting retrofit and installation of energy management
systems. Such expenditures shall be depreciated or amortized uniformly over a
reasonable period of time determined by Landlord, together with interest on the
tmdepreciated or unamortized balance at the Prime Rate plus 2%.
(x) Electrical services used in the operation, maintenance and use of
the Project; sales, use, excise and other taxes assessed by governmental
authorities on electrical services supplied to the Project, and other costs of
providing electrical services to the Project.
(c) Exclusions. Operating Expenses exclude costs and expenditures in the
following categories:
(i) Leasing commissions, attorneys fees and other expenses related to
leasing tenant space and constructing improvements for the sole benefit of an
individual tenant.
(ii) ABS goods and services furnished to an individual tenant of the
Project which are separately reimbursable directly to Landlord in addition to

(iii) Repairs required because of casualty or condemnation damage to
the extent of insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Landlord.
(iv) Except as provided in Paragraph 7(b)(ix), depreciation,
amortization, interest payments on any encumbrances on the Project and the cost
of capital improvements or additions and replacements.
(d) Estimated Monthly Payments. During each calendar year of the Term after
the Base Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in advance concurrently with each
monthly payment of Base Rent, 1/12th of Landlord's good-faith estimate of the
EOE to be payable by Tenant for such calendar year. By April 30th of the next
calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish Tenant
a statement of actual Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year. Provided
no uncured Event of Default then exists hereunder (and no condition exists
which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an Event of
Default), Landlord shall promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant for the prior
calendar year (or, at Landlord's option, apply such amount against Rent due or
to become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall, within 30 days of Landlord's
invoice, pay Landlord any underpayment for the prior calendar year. The
foregoing obligations shall survive the Expiration Date. Landlord may alter its
billing procedures at any time, including adjusting estimated EOE based on
actual or expected increases in Operating Expenses. In no event shall Base Rent
be reduced if Operating Expenses for any calendar year are less than Operating
Expenses for the Base Year.

(e) (see footnote below)(3)
8. LANDLORD SERVICES.
(a) Basic Services. Landlord shall as an Operating Expense, furnish the
following services to the Premises (to which services Landlord may at any time
and from time to time make reasonable cha ages): (i) running tap water from the
local utility at the supply points provided for general tenant use; (ii)
heating, ventilating and air conditioning / "HVA C") 01 weekdays between 8:00
a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, excluding
generally recognized business holidays; (iii) janitorial service 5 days per week
(excluding holidays); (iv) exterior window washing; (v) non-exclusive passenger
elevators sufficient for ingress and egress to the Premises, subject to proper
authorization and the Rules and Regulations; (vi) routine maintenance of the
Common and Service Areas; and (vii) replacement of Building Standard light
bulbs, tubes and ballasts.
(b) Electrical Service.
(i) Landlord shall furnish Building Standard electrical service to the
Premises sufficient to operate customary lighting, office machines and other
equipment of similar low electrical consumption. Landlord may, at any time and
from time to time, calculate Tenant's actual electrical consumption in the
Premises either by a survey conducted by a reputable consultant selected by
Landlord, or through separate meters installed, maintained and read by Landlord,
all at Tenant's expense. The cost of ABS electrical consumption shall be paid by
Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 8(d).
(ii) Landlord reserves the right to select the provider of electrical
services to the Building and/or the Project. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, Landlord shall have the continuing right, upon 30 days written
notice, to change such utility provider and install a submeter for the Premises
at Tenant's expense. All charges and expenses incurred by Landlord due to any
such changes in electrical services, including maintenance, repairs,
installation and related costs, shall be incltided in the electrical services
costs referenced in Paragraph 7(h)(x), unless paid directly by Tenant.
(3)(e) Right to Audit. Within 60 days (the "Audit Election Period")
after Landlord furnishes its statement of actual Operating Expenses for any
calendar year (including the Base Year), Tenant may, at its expense during
Landlords normal business hours, elect to audit Landlords Operating
Expenses for such calendar year only, subject to the following conditions:
(i) the audit shall be prepared by a certified public accounting firm of
recognized national standing; (ii) in no event shall any audit be performed
by a firm retained on a 'contingency fee' basis; (iii) the audit shall
commence within 30 days after Landlord makes Landlords hooks and records
available to Tenant's auditor and shall conclude within 60 days after
commencement; (iv) the audit shall be conducted where Landlord maintains
its books and records and shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct
of Landlord's business; (v) Tenant and its accounting firm shall treat any
audit in a confidential manner and shall each execute Landlord's
confidentiality agreement for Landlord's benefit prior to commencing the
audit; (vi) the accounting firm's audit report shall, at no charge to
Landlord, be submitted in draft form for Landlords review and approval
before the final approved audit report is delivered to Landlord; and (vii)
there is no uncured Event of Default under this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such an audit to the
extent Landlord furnishes to Tenant an audit report for the calendar year
in question prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm of
recognized national standing (whether originally prepared for Landlord or
another party). This paragraph shall not he construed to limit or xxxxx
Tenant's obligation to pay Rent when due, including estimated EOE. Landlord
shall credit any overpayment determined by the approved audit against the
next sums due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refund
such overpayment directly to Tenant. Likewise, Tenant shall pay Landlord
any underpayment determined by the approved audit within 30 days of
determination. The foregoing obligations shall survive the Expiration Date.

Operating Expenses during the Audit Election Period, Landlord's Operating
Expenses for the applicable calendar year shall be deemed approved for all
purposes, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or contest the
same.
8
(iii) If submetering is installed for the Premises, Landlord may
charge for Tenant's actual electrical consumption monthly in al-rears at
commercially reasonable rates determined by Landlord, except as to electricity
directly purchased by Tenant from third party providers. Even if the Premises
are submetered, Tenant shall remain obligated to pay its proportionate share of
the cost of electrical services as provided in Paragraph 7(b)(x), except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against electrical services costs eqtial to
that portion of the amounts actually paid by Tenant separately and directly to
Landlord which are attributable to Building Standard electrical services
submetered to the Premises.
(c) Parking. Landlord shall provide the Parking Permits described in Pa
agraph 1, which shall allow "in-c udout" privileges to the designated parking
facilities or areas using parking access cards or permits, as applicable. No
deductions from the monthly charge shall be made for days on which the pai-ld ~g
facilities are not used by Tenant. Landlord shall have the continuing right to
change the designation of such parking facilities or areas. Tenant, its
employees, contractors and invitees, shall at all times comply with the
applicable parking rules issued from time to time. Neither Tenant nor its
employees shall use any parking spaces designated for visitors or other
occupants of the Project. Tenant shall, within 15 days of Landlord's written
request, furnish Landlord a complete list of license plate numbers for all
vehicles operated by any Tenant Party. Tenant's sole remedy for any period
during which Tenant's use of any Parking Permit is precluded for any reason
shall be abatement of parking charges for such precluded permits.
(d) ABS Services. Building Standard services are furnished based upon
Building Standard (i) leasehold improvements; (ii) population density; (iii)
electrical consumption; (iv) electrical design capacity; and (v) hours of
operation (not to exceed 280 hours per month), and any other applicable
qualifications set forth in this Lease. "ABS" means over and above Building
Standard (including related modifications and equipment changes). All requests
for ABS services, whether HVAC, electrical, janitorial or other services, shall
be made in writing and are subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which
may include, as a condition to such approval, the imposition of restrictions or
other requirements by Landlord. Landlord shall install any equipment or other
modifications necessary to furnish any approved ABS services, all at Tenant's
expense (including all related consulting, acquisition, installation and
maintenance costs). Unless otherwise specified in this Lease, Tenant shall,
within 15 days of invoicing, pay the foregoing expenses and Landlord's
then-quoted standard charges for any ABS services furnished to or necessitated
by any Tenant Party. Landlord may withhold its consent to any ABS services or,
having previously granted consent, terminate or suspend any ABS services (and
remove any i-elated equipment or modifications at Tenant's expense), if (A)
Landlord determines the provision or continuation of such ABS services is
unnecessary or could damage the Building or Project Systems, create a dangerous
condition, entail unreasonable Alterations or expense, or disturb other tenants
in the Building; or (B) there exists an Event of Default or other condition
which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an Event of
Default. ABS HVAC shall be furnished upon Tenant's written request given no
later than 12:00 noon of the preceding business day.
(e) Service Interruptions. Upon interruption of any service furnished by
Landlord under this Lease (a "Service Interruption") other than a Service
Interruption for scheduled maintenance, tests and inspections, Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord, in which event Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to restore such service to the Premises. No Service
Interruption shall (i) constitute a breach by Landlord under this Lease; (ii)
relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease (except as provided below); or
(iii) be deemed a constructive eviction of Tenant from the Premises. Commencing
on the 4 consecutive business day of any Service Interruption within Landlord's
control, and except to the extent such Service Interruption is caused by a
Tenant Party, Tenant shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to an equitable
diminution of Base Rent based upon the pro rata portion of the Premises rendered
unfit for occupancy for the Permitted Use. In the event of any conflict between
this Paragraph 8(e) and the casualty and condemnation provisions of Paragraphs
15 and 16, the latter shall control. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE PRECEDING
SENTENCE, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY PARAGRAPH 13(f), TENANT WAIVES
ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE LANDLORD PARTIES ARISING FROM SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.

Provided Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice and otherwise complies with
the provisions of this Paragraph, Landlord's consent shall not be required with
respect to Alterations which do not exceed the lesser of $10,000 or $1.00 per
RSF in the Premises in aggregate cost in any 12 month period. In no event shall

approval. All Alterations shall be constructed at Tenant's expense (plus a

good and workmanlike manner, and otherwise in compliance with Applicable Law,
the Rules and Regulations, Building Standard construction criteria and
Landlord's other reasonable requirements. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is
no an architect or engineer, and that the Alterations will be designed and/or
constructed by Land lord using independent architects, engineers and contractors
(except for Alterations for which Landlord's prior written consent is not
required, which shall be constructed by Tenant using Landlord's approved
contractors). Accordingly, Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that the
applicable construction documents will comply with Applicable Law or be free
from errors or omissions, nor that the Alterations will be free from defects,
and Landlord will have no liability therefor. Upon completion, Tenant shall at
its expense, provide Landlord with "as built" plans on Landlord's CAD system (or
other format requested by Landlord).
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT.
(a) Transfer. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent in
each instance in accordance with Paragraph 12(c), convey, assign or encumber
this Lease or any interest herein, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by
operation of law, including the merger or conversion of Tenant with or into
another entity, or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, or permit the use
or occupancy of any part of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant
(collectively, "Transfer"). If Tenant is other than an individual, any change in
"control" of Tenant shall constitute a Transfer, and the surviving party in
control shall be the Transferee. "control" means the direct or indirect power to
direct or cause direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether
through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Conversely,
Tenant shall not sublease space from, or assume the lease obligations of,
another tenant in the Project without Landlord's prior written consent,
Following any Transfer, Tenant (and any guarantors) shall remain fully liable
under this Lease, as then or thereafter amended with or without notice to or
consent of Tenant (or any guarantors), and Landlord may proceed directly under
this Lease against Tenant (or any guarantor) without first proceeding against
any other party. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any proposed
12
Transfer at least 30 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the
proposed Transfer, which notice shall include a complete detailed written
description of the Transfer; the name, address, business and intended use of the
Transferee; a current audited financial statement for the Transferee certified
by recognized accounting firm; a copy of the proposed Transfer document;
appropriate evidence of the existence, good standing and signature authority of
the Transferee in the State; and such other pertinent information as Landlord
reasonably requests, together with Landlord's then-quoted Transfer processing
fee. If the proposed Transferee is subject to any new requirements tinder
Applicable Law (including ADA), (i) Tenant shall be liable for any costs or
expenses to comply with such requirements, and (ii) to the extent such
requirements require Alterations, Tenant shall deliver for Landlord's approval
plans and specifications complying with such additional requirements and
acceptable security assuring timely, lien-free completion of construction. If
the aggregate consideration paid to Tenant for a Transfer exceeds that payable
by Tenant under this Lease (prorated according to the Transferred interest),
then Tenant shall, within 15 days after receipt, pay such excess to Landlord.(9)
(b) Landlord's Options. Within 30 days after receipt of all required
Transfer information, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its election
(i) to consent to the Transfer; or (ii) to terminate this Lease as of the
effective date of the Transfer as to the space covered by such Transfer for the
remainder of the Term, in which event Tenant shall, subject to Paragraph 18, be
relieved of its obligations accruing after the termination date with respect to
the terminated interest; or (iii) not to consent to the Transfer, in which event
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Landlord fails to timely
make such election, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (iii) above.
Any Transfer occurring without Landlord's consent shall be void and shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder. In any event, all renewal and
expansion options and other preferential rights tinder this Lease are personal
to the original Tenant under this Lease and shall not be exercisable by any
Transferee. Neither Landlord's acceptance of any name for listing on the
Building directory or other signage, nor Landlord's acceptance of Rent from any
Transferee, shall be deemed, or substitute for, Landlord's consent to a
Transfer.
(c) Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any
Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 12(b)(iii). Landlord shall not be deemed to have
unreasonably withheld consent if: (i) Transferee's financial condition is not
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or does not evidence Transferee's ability to
pay its obligations (including those undertaken in connection with the Transfer)
when due; (ii) the net worth of Transferee (plus any guarantor) is less than
that of Tenant (plus any guarantor) as of the Date of Lease or the effective
date of Transfer whichever is greater; (iii) Transferee refuses to provide
additional security required by Landlord as a result of a change in financial
creditworthiness or legal structure, such as increased security deposit,
guaranties, etc.; (iv) Transferee's use of the Premises conflicts with the
Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the
Building; (v) the rise, nature, business, activities or reputation in the
business community of Transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) are
not acceptable to Landlord;
(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall consent to a
Transfer to an Affiliate (as defined below) unless: (i) Transferee's use of
the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights
granted to any other tenant in the Building; (ii) the use, nature,
business, activities or reputation in the business community of Transferee
(or its principals, employees or invitees) are not acceptable to Landlord;
(iii) either the Transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in
connection therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust (or
pension fund) qualification tests applicable to Landlord or its affiliates;
(iv) an uncured Event of Default exists under this Lease (or a condition
exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an
Event of Default); (v) Transferee is an occupant of, or Landlord is
otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with Transferee for, other premises
in the Project; (vi) Transferee is or has been involved in a dispute or
litigation with any Landlord Party; or (vii) Transferee fails to execute
Landlord's then-standard form of consent document, which will contain, in

of Tenant under this Lease accruing after the date of Transfer. The term

common control with Tenant.

therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust (or pension fund)

passage of time or giving of notice, would become an Event of Default); (viii)

17
EXTENT PROVIDED BY PARAGRAPH 13(1), TENANT SHALL INDEMMFY AND DEFEND LANDLORD
PARTIES AGAINST CLAIMS ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THIS LEASE.
(c) Election of Remedies. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights and
remedies, as well as any other rights or remedies available tinder Applicable
Law, without (i) judicial process; (ii) further notice to Tenant; (iii)
incurring liability of any kind to Tenant, including liability for trespass or
conversion; (iv) constituting an eviction of Tenant; (v) releasing Tenant or any
guarantor from any obligation under this Lease; (vi) waiting until the
Expiration Date; or (vii) prejudicing any other right or remedy of Landlord. All
such rights and remedies, together with any rights and remedies available under
Applicable Law, are cumulative with no exercise of any one or more of them
prohibiting or waiving the exercise of any other. Landlord may, at any time
after terminating Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating
this Lease, elect to terminate this Lease and thereupon pursue any and all other
rights and remedies otherwise available upon such latter election.
(d) Measure of Damages. If Landlord either terminates this Lease or
terminates Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating this
Lease, Tenant shall immediately surrender and vacate the Premises and pay
Landlord (i) the cost of recovering the Premises; (ii) all Rent accrued through
the end of the month in which the termination becomes effective; (iii) all
expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in enforcing its rights and remedies
under this Lease, including attorneys' fees, court costs and interest at the
Default Rate; (iv) "Landlord's Reletting Expenses" equal to commercially
reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting all or
any portion of the Premises, including the cost of removing and storing Tenant's
FF&E or other property, repairing and/or demolishing the Premises, removing
and/or replacing Tenant's signage and other fixtures, making the Premises ready
for a new tenant, including the cost of advertising, commissions, architectural
fees and leasehold improvements (even if amortized over a new lease term which
exceeds the balance of the Term), and any allowances and/or concessions provided
by Landlord; a id (v) "Landlord's Rental Damages" equal to the amount (never
less than zero) by which (A) the total Rent payable by Tenant for the portion of
the Term that is or would be remaining after the month in which the termination
becomes effective exceeds (B) the Fair Rental Value of the Premises for such
period. In calculating Landlord's Rental Damages, each monthly payment of Rent
and Fair Rental Value shall be discounted at the Prime Rate from its respective
due date to its present value as of the date of termination. The "Fair Rental
Value" is the total rental that would be received from a comparable tenant for a
comparable lease of premises in the Building of equivalent quality, size,
condition, remaining lease term and location as the Premises, taking into
account rental rates and concessions then generally prevailing in the market
place, the period of time the Premises are reasonably expected to remain vacant
before commencement of rental payments by a suitable new tenant, and all other
relevant factors. If any portion of the Premises is relet, the Fair Rental Value
for such relet portion shall be calculated based upon the rental receivable by
Landlord for the applicable reletting term. The "Prime Rate" is the "prime" rate
then published by Citibank, N.A., its successors or assigns, or another major
financial institution selected by Landlord. Until the earlier of the termination
of this Lease or the final determination of all damages under this Lease, all
Rent payable under this Lease shall continue to accrue and be payable when due
during the Term. Once the aggregate amount of damages is determined as provided
above, the unpaid balance, if any, shall thereafter accrue interest at the
Default Rate until paid in full.
(e) Mitigation of Damages. Upon termination of Tenant's right to possess
the Premises, Landlord shall, to the extent required by Applicable Law (and no
further), use objectively reasonable efforts to mitigate damages by reletting
the Premises. Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to do so if Landlord
refuses to lease the Premises to a prospective new tenant with respect to whom
Landlord would be entitled to withhold its consent pursuant to Paragraph 12(c),
or who (i) is an affiliate, parent or subsidiary of Tenant; (ii) is not
acceptable to Landlord's Mortgagee(s); (iii) requires improvements to the
Premises to be made at Landlord's expense; or (iv) is unwilling to accept lease
terms then proposed by Landlord, including: (A) leasing for a shorter or longer
term than remains under this Lease, (B) re-configuring or combining the Premises
with other space, (C) taking all or only a part of the Premises, and/or (D)
changing the use of the Premises.
(f) Attorneys' Fees. In any dispute regarding this Lease, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and
expenses from the other party.
18
(g) Landlord's Lien. To secure Tenant's obligations under this Lease,
'Tenant grants Landlord a contractual security interest on all of Tenant's FF&E
now or hereafter situated in the Premises and all proceeds therefrom, including
insurance proceeds (collectively, "Collateral"). No Collateral shall be removed
from the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent until all of Tenant's
obligations are fully satisfied (except in the ordinary course of business and
then only if replaced with items of same value and quality). Upon any Event of
Default, Landlord may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and in
addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Premises and take
possession of any Collateral without being held liable for trespass or
conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, after giving Tenant at
least 5 days written notice (or more if required by Applicable Law) of the time
and place of such sale. Such notice may be sent with or without return receipt
requested. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, any Landlord Party may purchase
any Collateral at such sale. The proceeds from such sale, less Landlord's
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses, shall be
credited against Tenant's obligations. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant (or
as otherwise required by Applicable Law) and any deficiency shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Upon request, Tenant shall execute and deliver
to Landlord a financing statement sufficient to perfect the foregoing security
interest or Landlord may file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement, as
permitted under Applicable Law.
(h) Force Majeure. Time is of the essence. If either party is unable to
perform any obligation under this Lease due to unavailability of materials or
equipment, strikes or other labor difficulties, governmental restrictions,
casualties or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control, such
obligation shall be stayed for the duration of such condition. This Paragraph
shall not affect or postpone the payment of Rent or other amounts due, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the attached Construction Agreement (if any).
18. END OF TERM.
(a) Surrender. Upon the earlier of the Expiration Date or Landlord's
termination of Tenant's right of possession of the Premises, Tenant shall

improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises, including all built--in
fixtures and cabling, shall become Landlord's property; and (ii) provided there
is no uncured Event of Default, Tenant shall, at its expense, immediately remove
all of Tenant's FF&E from the Premises. However, except as otherwise expressly
provided in writing by Landlord at the time of installation, Landlord may, at
Tenant's expense, remove from the Premises (or require to be removed by Tenant
or an approved third party contractor) any or all Alterations, cabling and/or
ABS leasehold improvements. Tenant shall, within 30 days after Landlord's
invoice, reimburse Landlord for the cost to restore the Premises and otherwise
repair any damage caused by any of the foregoing removal work. All of Tenant's
foregoing obligations shall survive the Expiration Date. If Tenant's FF&E is not
timely removed, Landlord may, upon 10 days written notice to Tenant's address
(which notice Tenant agrees shall be deemed "reasonable"), and to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) treat such property as abandoned by
Tenant with full rights of ownership in Landlord; (ii) remove and store such
property at Tenant's expense with reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord upon
demand; and/or (iii) sell or dispose of such property without delivering any
proceeds to Tenant. Tenant Waives all Claims against the Landlord Parties
arising from any right available to Tenant under Applicable Law restricting
Landlord's foregoing rights, and the right to assert any Claim against Landlord
for the value or use of any property abandoned by Tenant in the Premises.
(c) Hold Over, If any Tenant Party remains in possession of the Premises
after the Expiration Date, whether or not with Landlord's consent but without
executing a new lease ("Hold Over"), the Term shall not be extended, nor shall
any rights or remedies of Landlord be adversely affected, even if Landlord
thereafter accepts Rent. Instead, during the Hold Over, Tenant shall be deemed a
tenant at sufferance (and not a tenant at will or month--to-month tenant)
subject to all provisions of this Lease except that Base Rent and all amounts
payable to Landlord tinder Paragraph 7 shall be double the greater of (i) the
amount payable during the last month of the Term, or (ii) Landlord's
then--quoted rental rate for comparable space in the Project. Either party may
terminate the Hold Over immediately upon written notice. Tenant shall pay
Landlord all damages incurred by reason of any Hold Over11.

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, as Landlord, and INFONOW CORPORATION, as Tenant, for the

the event of any conflict between the Lease (as amended by the Third Amendment)
and this Work Letter, the latter shall control.
1. Approved Construction Documents.
(a) Tenant's Information. No later than December 15, 1999, Tenant shall
submit to Landlord all information necessary for the preparation of complete,
detailed architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings and

(b) Construction Documents. Following Landlord's execution of the Third
Amendment and receipt of Tenant's Information, an architectural/engineering firm
approved by Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant all finished and
detailed architectural drawings and specifications, including mechanical,
electrical and plumbing drawings (the "Construction Documents"). J~ addition,
Landlord shall advise Tenant of the number of days of Tenant Delay (as defined
below) attributable to extraordinary requirements (if any) contained in Tenant's
Information. Landlord (or its designated representative) reserves the right to
designate the location(s) of all of Tenant's mechanical, electrical or other
equipment and the manner in which such equipment will be connected to Building
systems.
(c) Approved Construction Documents. Within 3 days after receipt, Tenant
shall (i) approve and return the Construction Documents to Landlord, or (ii)
provide Landlord Tenant's written requested changes to the Construction
Documents, in which event Landlord shall have the Construction Documents revised
(as Landlord deems appropriate) and resubmitted to Tenant for approval within 3
days after receipt. If Tenant fails to request changes within such 3 day period,
Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Construction Documents. Upon Tenants
approval, the Construction Documents shall become the "Approved Construction
Documents". By granting approval of the Construction Documents (whether such
approval is expressly granted or deemed given as provided above), Tenant shall
be deemed to have confirmed by means of calculations or metering that the
available capacity of the Building electrical system will support Tenant's
electrical requirements.
2. Pricing and Bids. Following receipt of the Approved Construction Documents,
Landlord will promptly price the construction of the Work with approved general
contractors in accordance with the Approved Construction Documents and furnish
written price estimates to Tenant. Upon receipt, Tenant shall promptly review
such estimates and complete negotiations with Landlord for any changes or
adjustments thereto. Within 5 days after such receipt, Tenant shall return the
estimates with written approval to Landlord. If Tenant fails to give its
approval within such 5 day period, the estimates will be deemed approved by
Tenant.
3. Landlord's Contributions. Landlord will provide a construction allowance not
to exceed $7.20 per RSF in the office space portion of the Expansion Space (the
"Construction Allowance"), toward the cost of constructing the Work. Payments
shall be made directly to Landlord's contractor performing the Work. The cost of
(a) all space planning, design, consulting or review services, (b) construction
drawings, (c) extension of electrical wiring from Landlord's designated
location(s) to the Expansion Space, (d) purchasing and installing all equipment

standard electrical equipment approved by Landlord), (e) required metering,
re-circuiting or re-wiring for metering, equipment rental, engineering design
services, consulting services, studies, construction services, cost of billing
and collections, and (f) materials and labor, shall all be included in the cost
of the Work and may be paid out of the Construction Allowance, to the extent
sufficient funds are available for such purpose. All bills for the Work must be
submitted within six months after the Expansion Space Delivery Date, and
Landlord will make no further payments related to the Work after such six month
period.
4. Construction.
(a) General Terms. Subject to the terms of this Work Letter, Landlord
agrees to cause leasehold improvements to be constructed in the Expansion Space
(the "Work") in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Approved
Construction Documents. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not an architect or
engineer, and that the Work will be designed and performed by independent
architects, engineers and contractors. Accordingly, Landlord does not guarantee
or warrant that the Approved Construction Documents will comply with Laws or be
free from errors or omissions, nor that the Work will be free from defects, and
Landlord will have no liability therefor. In the event of such errors, omissions
or defects, and upon Tenant's written request, Landlord will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant in enforcing any applicable
warranties. In addition, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord prior
to commencement of the Work, Landlord's approval of the Construction Documents
or the Work shall not be interpreted to waive or otherwise modify the terms and
provisions of the Lease (as modified by the Third Amendment). Except with
respect to the economic terms set forth in Paragraph 3 of this Work Letter, the
terms and provisions contained in this Work Letter shall survive the completion
of the Work and shall govern in all applicable circumstances arising under the
Lease throughout the Term, including the construction of future improvements in
the Expansion Space. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant's Information and the
Approved Construction Documents must comply with (i) the definitions used by
Landlord for the electrical terms used in this Work Letter, (ii) the electrical
and HVAC design capacities of the Building, (iii) Landlord's policies concerning
communications and fire alarm services, and (iv) Landlord's policies concerning
Tenant's electrical design parameters, including harmonic distortion. Upon
Tenant's request, Landlord will provide Tenant a written statement outlining
items (i) through (iv) above.
(b) ADA Compliance. Landlord shall, as a Building Operating Expense, be
responsible for ADA compliance for the base Building, core areas (including
elevators, Common Areas, Service areas and the Property's parking facilities)
and all points of access into the Building. Tenant shall, at its expense, be
responsible for ADA compliance in the Expansion Space, including restrooms on
any floor now or hereafter leased or occupied in its entirety by Tenant, its
affiliates or transferees. Landlord shall not be responsible for determining
whether Tenant is a public accommodation under ADA or whether the Approved
Construction Documents comply with ADA requirements. Such determinations, if
desired by Tenant, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
(c) Substantial Completion. Time is of the essence in connection with the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be
liable or responsible for any claims incurred (or alleged) by Tenant due to any
delay in achieving Substantial Completion (as defined below) for any reason nor
shall it render the Lease or this the Third Amendment void or voidable, and
Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for any delay in achieving Substantial
Completion for any reason other than Tenant Delay (as defined below) shall be
the resulting postponement (if any) of the commencement of rental payments for
the Expansion Space pursuant to the terms of the Third Amendment. Moreover,
notwithstanding anything contained in the Third Amendment or this Work Letter to
the contrary, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will be performing its
obligations under this Work Letter while Tenant is occupying the Premises
contiguous to the Expansion Space, and agrees that Landlord, its agents,
employees and contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises during
business hours to perform the Work. Tenant understands that the work to be
performed pursuant to this Work Letter may result in noise, vibration, dirt dust
and other circumstances commonly attendant to construction. Tenant hereby waives
any claim of injury or inconvenience to its business, interference with Tenant's
business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or any other
loss occasioned by such entry or the performance of the Work required pursuant
to the terms of this Work Letter, nor shall the same relieve Tenant of any
obligations under the Lease (as amended by the Third Amendment). Landlord will
attempt to minimize the disruption to Tenant's business during its performance
of the Work. No entry of the Premises or Expansion Space by Landlord under this
Work Letter shall be deemed a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises or a
detainer of the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from
the Premises, or any part of the Premises, nor shall such entry entitle Tenant
to damages or an abatement of monthly Base Rent, Tenant's share of EOE, or other
charges that the Lease requires Tenant to pay. Tenant shall fully cooperate with
Landlord and its contractors and shall not in any way impeded, inhibit or hinder
any of the Work to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter. For
purposes of this Work Letter, the Work shall be deemed to be "Substantially
Complete" on the date that all Work has been performed, other than any details
of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the
noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Expansion Space. However, if Landlord is delayed in the
performance of the Work as a result of any Tenant Delay(s), the Work shall be
deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably
have been expected to Substantially Complete the Work absent any Tenant Delay.
"Tenant Dela means any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees,
vendors or contractors that actually delays the Substantial Completion of the
Work, including, without limitation: (i) Tenant's failure to furnish information
or approvals within any time period specified in this Work Letter, including the
failure to prepare or approve preliminary or final plans by any applicable due
date; (ii) Tenant's selection of equipment or materials that have long lead
times after first being informed by Landlord in writing that the selection may
result in a delay; (iii) changes requested or made by Tenant to previously
approved plans and specifications; or (iv) performance of work in the Expansion
Space by Tenant or Tenant's contractor(s) during the performance of the Work.
5. Costs.
(a) Change Orders and Cost Overruns. All changes to, and deviations from,
the Approved Construction Documents at the direction of Tenant (each, a "Change
Order"), including any (i) direction of Tenant to omit any portion of the Work,
(ii) additional architectural or engineering services, (iii) changes to
materials, whether standard materials, specially ordered materials, or specially
fabricated materials, (iv) cancellation or modification of supply or fabrication
orders, and (v) removal or alteration of any portion of the Work, must be
approved in advance in writing by Landlord. Change Orders requested by Tenant
and approved by Landlord which increase the cost of the Work shall be paid by
Tenant within 15 days of receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor (which payment
may be required by Landlord prior to commencing construction). Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Work Letter, all costs of the Work in
excess of the Construction Allowance (collectively, "Cost Overruns") shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord within 10 days of Landlord's invoice. In addition, at
Landlord's election, Landlord may require Tenant to prepay any projected Cost
Overruns within 5 days of Landlord's invoice. Landlord may stop or decline to
commence all or any portion of the Work until such payment (or prepayment) is
received. On or before the date of Substantial Completion, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the entire amount of all Cost Overruns, less any prepaid amounts.
Tenant's failure to pay, when due, any Cost Overruns or the cost of any Change
Order shall constitute an event of default under the Lease.
(b) Construction Management Fee. Within 10 days following the date of
invoice, Tenant shall, for supervision and administration of the construction
and installation of the Work, pay Landlord a construction management fee equal
to 2.5% of the aggregate contract price for the Work, which shall be paid from
the Construction Allowance. Tenant's failure to pay such construction management
fee when due shall constitute an event of default under the Lease.

or before April 30, 2000 or be forfeited with no further obligation on
the part of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event that
any of the Construction Allowance remains unused after the completion
of the Work as set forth in this Construction Agreement, the remaining
Construction Allowance may be utilized by Tenant for additional tenant
improvements at the Premises at any time during the initial Term of
the Lease, which additional tenant improvements shall be subject to
Landlord's prior written approval and also subject to all of the
provisions of the Lease concerning the construction of improvements or
Alterations at the Premises, including but not limited to Paragraph 11
thereof.
2. Pooling of Construction Allowances for Original Premises and Expansion
Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Original Lease
or the Third Amendment, Tenant shall be entitled to use the Construction
Allowance (as defined in the Original Lease) originally allocated for use in the
Original Premises, for the Work (as defined in the Third Amendment) in the
Expansion Space, and shall also be entitled to use the Construction Allowance
(as defined in the Third Amendment) originally allocated for use in the
Expansion Space, for the Work (as defined in the Original Lease) in the Original
Premises; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
increase either Construction Allowance beyond its respective original amount as
set forth in the Original Lease and Third Amendment, respectively.
3. Time of the Essence. Time is of he essence with respect to Tenant's
execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment to Landlord. If Tenant fails to
execute and deliver a signed copy of this Fourth Amendment to Landlord by 5:00
p.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on January 3, 2000 it shall be deemed null and void
and shall have no force or effect, unless otherwise agreed in writing by
Landlord. Landlord's acceptance, execution and return of this document shall
constitute Landlord's agreement to waive Tenant's failure to meet the foregoing
deadline.
4. Binding Effect. Except as modified by this Fourth Amendment, the terms
and provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and the
Lease, as modified by this Fourth Amendment, shall be binding upon the parties
hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. This Fourth Amendment shall
become effective only after the full execution and delivery hereof by Landlord
and Tenant.
5. Ratification of Lease. All of the terms and provisions of the Lease as
herein amended and supplemented, are hereby ratified and confirmed, and shall
remain in full force and effect.
6. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Fourth Amendment and the provisions of the other portions of the Lease, the
provisions of this Fourth Amendment shall control.
