WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the covenants, terms, conditions, agreements, and payments as hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

Landlord hereby leases unto Tenant the following described premises Suite 103 containing approximately 785 rentable square feet in a building commonly known as 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx xx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx of Boulder, State of Colorado (the “Premises”) a more detailed description of the Premises, Building, and real Property being set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto; the leasing of which is made according to the terms of this Agreement; together with all appurtenances thereto, and all fixtures attached thereto, in present condition, and together with nonexclusive reasonable access on such roadways, sidewalks, and other common areas of which the Premises are a part.
2. SQUARE FOOTAGE/PRO RATA SHARE. The total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises is approximately 785 square feet of floor space. The Building Rentable Square Footage is 6595 square feet. The Tenant’s pro rata share is its Rentable Square Footage divided by the Building Square Footage (“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share”). The Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be 11.90%.
3. PRESENT CONDITION OF PROPERTY. The Tenant has examined, and accepts the building, improvements, and any fixtures on the Premises as of the Commencement Date, in present condition, subject to the construction of Tenant Improvements as detailed on the plans and specifications attached as Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord agrees to be responsible, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and not as part of Operating Costs), for all repairs, replacements and other matters pertaining to the Building and Tenant Improvements, covered by warranties of contractors and manufacturers.
4. TERM.
4.1 Initial Term. The term of this lease shall commence at 12:01 a.m. on the 1st day of April, 2008 (the “Commencement Date”), and unless terminated as herein provided for, shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the 31st day of May, 2011. The Commencement Date as set forth in this Paragraph 4.1, as well as the term of this Lease, shall be subject to those adjustments of the Commencement Date, if any, set forth in Paragraph 4.2 which relate to the performance of construction on the Premises.
4.2 Tenant Improvement Construction. The Commencement Date of this lease shall not be delayed until the substantial completion of the tenant improvements described on Exhibit B attached hereto, and delivery of possession to Tenant shall be as of the Commencement Date. If for any reason Landlord does not substantially complete such construction prior to April 1, 2008, such failure will not affect the validity of this lease, but in such case Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent or NNN costs until such construction is substantially completed.
4.3 Option to Extend. Provided that Tenant is not then in default under this lease beyond any applicable notice and opportunity to cure, Tenant shall be given the option to renew this lease for one additional term(s) of 36 months. Such option shall be exercisable only by delivery of Tenant’s signed written notice of extension to Landlord not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-existing lease term. In the event of such exercise, this lease shall be deemed to be extended for the additional period pursuant to all the terms and conditions set forth herein, except Base Rental as set forth in Paragraph 5.1 shall be adjusted as set forth in Article 5.

(ii) all real property taxes and installments of special assessments, and all other taxes, rates, charges, levies or assessments levied upon or assessed and assessments levied against the Building and Property, and if Landlord employs counsel in an effort to reduce or otherwise obtain relief from taxes or assessments which, if successful would have reduced the total Operating Costs, the fees of such counsel;

Operating Costs, currently estimated to be $6.00 per square foot, shall be paid monthly in the amount of Three Hundred Ninety Two and 50/100 US Dollars ($392.50), as additional rent.
In lieu of the fact that substantial completion of Tenant Finish will be underway during the first month of the lease, Landlord agrees to waive any payment of Operating Costs due during the first month. Monthly payment of Operating Costs (NNN) shall commence on April 1, 2008.
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within 120 days following the end of each calendar year, a statement of the Operating Expenses for the calendar year just ended and a statement of the Additional Rent payable by Tenant during the ensuing year (the “Adjustment Notice”). Until receipt of the Adjustment Notice, Tenant shall continue to pay its monthly share of Operating Expenses in the same amount as was paid during the preceding calendar year. To the extent that the Adjustment Notice reflects the amount paid by Tenant as its share of Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year to be less than Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the actual operating expenses for that year, and to the extent the Adjustment Notice reflects the amount due from Tenant as its share of Operating Expenses for the new calendar year greater than the amount actually paid to the date of receipt of the Adjustment Notice for the new calendar year, Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Adjustment Notice. Upon receipt of the Adjustment Notice, Tenant shall thereafter pay the amount of its monthly share of adjusted Operating Expenses as set forth in the Adjustment Notice. In the event the actual operating expenses during any calendar year are less than the estimated operating expenses paid by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to a refund, credit or other form of reimbursement from Landlord, payable within thirty (30) days following
the date of the Adjustment Notice. All Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid monthly, in advance, on the first day of each month during the term hereof.
5.5 Dispute Concerning Operating Costs. In the event of any dispute as to the figures utilized in the Adjustment Notice or the calculation of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs, Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s records relative to the costs at the office in which Landlord maintains its records during normal business hours at any time within ninety (90) days following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of the Adjustment Notice. Unless Tenant shall take written exception of any item contained within the Adjustment Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Adjustment Notice shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. If Tenant makes such timely written exception, a certification as to the proper amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs shall be made by a Certified Public Accountant designated by Landlord and Tenant which certification shall be final and conclusive. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of that certification unless it is determined that Landlord’s original determination of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs was in error more than five percent (5%) over Tenant’s actual obligation, in which event Landlord shall pay the cost of that certification.
5.6 Payment of Rent and Additional Charges - General. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable and recoverable as Rent in the manner herein provided, and Landlord shall have all rights against Tenant for default in any such payment as in the case of arrears of Rent. Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or set-off, in legal tender at the address of Landlord as set forth in this Lease, or to such other person or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Rent shall not be deemed paid until actually received by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
5.7 Late Charges. In the event Tenant shall be more than ten (10) days late in the payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent payments due hereunder, then Landlord may, at his option, require in addition to the rent due herein a late fee equal to the amount of five percent (5%) of the said rent for each such occurrence. With regard to all amounts billed by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, payment in full of the same is due from Tenant to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days of the date of billing, unless Tenant is contesting the same in good faith, or in the event that Tenant shall be more than fifteen (15) days late in the payment of any other sums due hereunder, then Landlord may, at its sole option, require payment of an amount equal to an additional five percent (5%) of any such unpaid amounts for each such occurrence.
5.8 Security Deposit. Landlord acknowledges receipt of the sum of Eight Hundred Eighty Five and 09/100 Dollars ($885.09) paid by Tenant upon the execution hereof, to be retained by Landlord as security for the performance of all of the terms and conditions of this lease Agreement to be performed by Tenant, including payment of all rental due under the terms hereof. Landlord shall not owe Tenant any interest on the deposit. At Landlord’s election, deductions may be made by Landlord from the amount so retained for the reasonable cost of repairs to the Premises which should have been performed by Tenant, for any rental payment or other sum delinquent under the terms hereof, and for any sum used by Landlord in any manner to cure any default in the performance of Tenant under the terms of this lease, in all cases after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period. In the event deductions are so made during the rental term, upon notice by Landlord, Tenant shall redeposit such amounts so expended so as to maintain the security deposit in the amount as herein provided for, within 10 days after receipt of such written demand from Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall limit the liability of Tenant as to any repairs or maintenance of the Premises; and nothing herein shall limit the obligation of Tenant promptly to pay all sums otherwise due under this lease and to comply with all the terms and conditions hereof. The security deposit, less any sums withheld by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be repaid to Tenant within sixty days after the date of termination of the lease.
5.9 Proration of Rent for Partial Months. If the lease term begins on other than the first day of a month, base rent and additional rent from such date until the first day of the next succeeding calendar month shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such calendar month and shall be payable in advance. If the lease term terminates on other than the last day of the calendar month, rent from the first day of such calendar month until such termination date shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such month, and shall be payable in advance.
6. TAXES - REAL PROPERTY - PAID BY TENANT - PROTEST. (Intentionally Deleted).
7. TAXES - TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY - PAID- BY TENANT. Tenant shall be responsible for and timely pay any and all personal property taxes assessed against any furniture, fixtures, equipment and items of a similar nature installed and/or located in or about the Premises by Tenant.
8. UTILITIES - RESPONSIBILITY. Tenant shall promptly pay all charges for heat, gas, electric service, telephone and any other utility service used or consumed on the Premises and which is separately metered to the Premises. As to those utilities which are not separately metered or assessed to the Premises, and those which are used in common with other tenants of the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Operating Costs under the terms hereof Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of said costs, based upon the relative usage of such unmetered utilities by more that one tenant. As to any utility services which are separately metered or assessed to the Premises, the accounts therefore shall be placed in the name of Tenant and shall be paid directly by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any utility to the Premises or the Building, whether the obtaining of and/or payment for such utility is the responsibility of Tenant or Landlord, unless such failure or interruption is a result of Landlord’s negligence.
(Meter #103, which was previously paid by Landlord and charged back to tenant Monotype Imaging on a pro-rated basis for partial utility service, shall be placed in the name of Monotype Imaging effective April 1, 2008.)
9. HOLDING OVER. If, after expiration of the term of this lease, Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises and continue to pay rent without a written agreement as to such possession, then Tenant shall be deemed a month-to-month Tenant and the rental rate during such holdover tenancy shall be equivalent to one and one half times the monthly rental paid for the last month of tenancy under this lease.
10. MODIFICATION OR EXTENSIONS. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to renew or extend this lease without the written consent of Landlord. No modification of this lease shall be binding unless endorsed hereon or otherwise written and signed by the respective parties.
11. ALTERATION - CHANGES AND ADDITIONS - RESPONSIBILITY - NO HOLES IN ROOF - NO NEW EQUIPMENT ON ROOF. Subject to Landlord’s determination that any alterations requested by Tenant do not negatively affect the integrity of the Premises, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant may, during the term of this lease, at Tenant’s expense, erect inside partitions, add to existing electric power service, add telephone outlets or other communication services, add light fixtures, install additional heating and/or air conditioning or make such other changes or alterations as Tenant may desire, provided that prior to commencement of any such work, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a set of fully detailed working drawings and specifications for the proposed alteration, prepared by a licensed architect or engineer. Landlord may refuse to consent to the alterations because of the inadequacy of the drawings and specifications. Tenant may not commence the alterations until Landlord’s written consent has been given which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any additions or alterations requested by Tenant of the telecommunication or data transmission equipment, facilities, lines or outlets on the Premises shall be performed only with Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such additions and alterations shall be at Tenant’s expense. If the drawings and specifications are adequate, to Landlord’s sole satisfaction, then Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the alterations, except that Landlord may withhold its consent to new or altered openings (holes) in the roof, or placement of additional equipment on the roof, as follows. Landlord may withhold its consent to new openings in the roof or placement of additional equipment on the roof unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, is satisfied that the risk of increased leakage or risk of more frequent repairs or maintenance of the roof is acceptable to Landlord. Any new or altered opening in the roof, or placement of additional equipment thereon, shall be considered an alteration which requires the prior written consent of Landlord. If within thirty (15) days after such plans and specifications are submitted by Tenant to Landlord for such approval, Landlord shall have not given Tenant notice of disapproval, stating the reason for such disapproval, such plans and specifications shall be considered approved by Landlord. As a condition of approval for such alterations, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to furnish adequate bond or other security acceptable to landlord for performance of and payment for the work to be performed. At the end of this lease, all such fixtures,
equipment, additions and/or alterations (except trade fixtures installed by Tenant) shall be and remain the property of Landlord, provided, however, Landlord shall have the option to require Tenant to remove any or all such fixtures, equipment, additions, and/or alterations except initial tenant improvements pursuant to Exhibit B and restore the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to such change and/or installation, normal wear and tear excepted, all at Tenant’s cost and expense. All work done by Tenant shall conform to appropriate city, county and state building codes and health standards and OSHA standards and Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for building permits.
If any such work done by Tenant causes damage to the structural portion, exterior finish or roof of the Premises, then the costs of repair of such damage, and of all further maintenance and repairs to such structural portion, exterior finish or roof during the term of the lease shall thereafter be the responsibility of Tenant.
Neither Landlord’s right of entry, nor any actual inspection by Landlord, nor Landlord’s actual knowledge of any alteration accomplished or in progress shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights concerning alterations by Tenant.
12. MECHANIC’S LIENS. Tenant shall pay all costs for construction done by it or caused to be done by it on the Premises as permitted by this lease. Tenant shall keep the building, other improvements and land of which the Premises are a part free and clear of all mechanics liens resulting from construction by or for Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to contest the correctness or validity of any such lien if, immediately on demand by Landlord, Tenant deposits with Landlord and/or any appropriate court or title insurance company a bond or sum of money sufficient to allow issuance of title insurance against the lien and/or to comply with the statutory requirements for discharge of the lien found in § 00-00-000 and § 131, Colorado Revised Statutes, or any successor statutory provision. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant’s contractor(s), subcontractors and materialmen to furnish to both Tenant and Landlord adequate lien waivers on work or materials paid for, in connection with all periodic or final payments, by endorsement on checks, making of joint checks, or otherwise, and Landlord shall have the right to review invoices prior to payment. Landlord reserves the right to post notices on the Premises that Landlord is not responsible for payment of work performed and that Landlord’s interest is not subject to any lien.
13. UNIFORM SIGNS. It is Landlord’s intent to maintain uniformity of signs throughout the area where signs may be controlled by Landlord. Tenant shall place no signs on the Premises (except inside Tenant’s portion of the building on the Premises) without prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall be entitled to a Pro Rata Share of the exterior signage for the Building.
14. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF THE BUILDING: LANDLORD NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO CONTENTS. Landlord shall be responsible for maintenance and repairs of the structural portions, and the roof of the Building (other than glass in the Premises) at the sole cost and expense of Landlord, and shall, as part of Operating Costs, repair and maintain the HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems of the Building, the parking areas and landscaping around the Building and provide snow removal for the parking areas and sidewalks adjoining the Building; provided, however, that if any such maintenance or repairs are necessitated by the acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, invitees or guests, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of same, as additional rent, to be paid within 30 days after delivery of invoice.
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain, in good order, condition and repair, the Premises, including the interior surfaces of the ceilings, interior walls and floors, all doors, interior glass and windows, door closure devices, door frames and locks, plumbing fixtures within the Premises, electrical wiring installed by Tenant, switches, fixtures and other mechanical items within the Premises, and shall replace light bulbs within the Premises as necessary. In the event Tenant fails to so maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair, Landlord shall give Tenant notice to do such acts as are reasonably required to maintain the Premises. In the event Tenant fails to promptly commence such work and diligently pursue it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be required, to do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such work. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in performing such work, plus an administrative fee of 10% of all costs and expenses, within thirty (30) days of invoice. Landlord shall have
no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant as a result of performing any such work, except in the event of Landlord’s negligence.

26. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, or encumber this lease, nor sublet or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in each instance.
In connection with an assignment, sublease or encumbrance Landlord may require the submittal of detailed financial information about the prospective subtenant or assignee, to be reviewed by Landlord, and may require a guarantee of the obligations of the prospective subtenant or assignee, and may require detailed financial information about the guarantor, to be reviewed by Landlord; and there may be alterations to this lease and alterations to the building which are necessary to consummate the transaction.

Landlord may charge a reasonable fee not to exceed $500.00 as part of its consent to any assignment, sublease, or encumbrance.
If this lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet, or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, sub-tenant, or occupant and apply the net amount collected against all rent herein reserved. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, sub-tenant, or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of the covenants in this lease. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not be construed to relieve Tenant (or any subsequent tenant) from obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.
In the event Landlord consents to any sublease or sublease of the Premises or to an assignment of this Lease, and the amount of rental payable under said sublease or assignment, on a per square foot basis, exceed the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease, on a per square foot basis, the excess rental (that is, all sublease rental which, on a per square foot basis, exceeds the Base Rent and Additional Rent on a square foot basis payable under this Lease, after first deducting all costs and expenses that Tenant incurs in connection with such sublease, including, without limitation, brokerage fees, legal fees and expenses and alteration costs), shall be divided equally between Tenant and Landlord, with the Landlord’s share thereof being paid over to Landlord as Additional Rent due under this Lease.
27. LANDLORD’S WARRANTY OF TITLE: QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants it has good right to lease the Premises in the manner described herein and that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, and enjoy the Premises during the term of the lease; except as provided in Paragraph 30 concerning subordination to mortgage lenders.
28. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY- RIGHTS OF LANDLORD. Landlord does reserve, during the term of this lease, the right to go upon and deal with the Premises or part thereof for the purpose of implementing a common development plan for the project of which the Premises are a part, and to install non-exclusive sidewalks, paths, roadways and other street improvements for use by vehicles, pedestrians, and for parking; to undertake such drainage programs to handle underground and surface drainage water and to make any other changes and/or improvements as Landlord shall deem advisable in the exercise of its sole discretion; provided, however, any such action by Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the rights of Tenant hereunder.
29. GOVERNMENTAL ACQUISITION OF THE PREMISES. The parties agree that Landlord shall have sole and exclusive authority to negotiate and settle all matters pertaining to the acquisition of all or part of the Premises by a governmental agency by eminent domain or threat thereof (condemnation), and to convey all or any part of the Premises under threat of condemnation, and the lease shall terminate as to any area so conveyed. It is agreed that any compensation for land and/or buildings to be taken whether resulting from negotiation and agreement or condemnation proceedings, shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and that there shall be no sharing whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant of any such sum. Such taking of property shall not be considered as a breach of this lease by Landlord, nor give rise to any claims in Tenant for damages or compensation from Landlord. Tenant may separately claim and recover from the condemning authority the value of any personal property owned by Tenant which is taken, and any relocation expenses owed to Tenant by the condemning authority. If the taken portion of the Premises consists only of areas where no building is constructed, and the land area of the Premises is reduced by less than ten percent, and the parking area available for use by Tenant is reduced by less than five percent, and there is no material change in Tenants access to the Premises, then there shall be no change in the terms of the lease. If no building area is taken but the foregoing limits on parking area reductions are exceeded, then Tenant may terminate the lease unless Landlord provides sufficient reasonably adjacent parking area so that the total available parking area is reduced by less than five percent. If any portion of the building on the Premises is taken, then Landlord, at its election, may replace the square footage taken with space in the same building, or may provide land and building area essentially the same as the Premises in a reasonably adjacent location, within 10 days after the conveyance or taking, under the same terms and conditions as contained in this lease, and this lease shall be in full force and effect as to the new Premises. If Landlord does not so provide reasonable space, then Tenant shall have two options. First, Tenant may terminate the lease by written notice delivered to Landlord within 60 days after the conveyance or taking. Second, Tenant may retain the remaining portion of the Premises, under all the terms and conditions hereof, but the base rental shall be reduced in proportion to the number of square feet of building floor space taken compared to the number of square feet of building floor space on the Premises prior to the taking.
30. SUBORDINATION OF THE LEASEHOLD TO MORTGAGES. This lease shall be subject and subordinate in priority at all times to the lien of any existing and/or hereafter executed mortgages and trust deeds encumbering the Premises, provided that mortgagee shall execute a non-disturbance agreement agreeing to recognize this Lease in the event that such mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder. Although no instrument or act on the part of Tenant shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, Tenant will execute and deliver such further instruments subordinating this lease to the lien of any such mortgages or trust deeds as may be desired by the mortgagee or holder of such trust deeds. Tenant further agrees at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an estoppel affidavit in form acceptable to Landlord and the holder of any existing or contemplated mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (1) that this lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and (3) that not more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance. Further, upon request, Tenant shall supply to Landlord a corporate resolution certifying that the party signing this statement on behalf of Tenant is properly authorized to do so, if Tenant is a corporation.
Tenant agrees with lender and Landlord that if there is a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust and pursuant to such foreclosure, the Public Trustee or other appropriate officer executes and delivers a deed conveying the Premises to the lender or its designee, or in the event Landlord conveys the Premises to the lender or its designee in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant will attorn to such grantee of the Premises, rather than to Landlord, to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the lease, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate the lease by reason of the foreclosure or deed given in lieu thereof.
Landlord will endeavor to include in the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Premises a provision that if Tenant is not in default under the terms of this lease and Tenant is then in possession of the Premises, Tenants rights of quiet enjoyment arising out of the lease shall not be affected or disturbed by lender in the event of a default by Landlord and any sale of the Premises through foreclosure of any deed of trust or otherwise.
31. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE - RECORDING. This Lease shall not be recorded in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder of Boulder County, except by Landlord as a financing statement. In order to effect
public recordation, the parties hereto may, at the time this Lease is executed, agree to execute a Memorandum of Lease incorporating therein by reference the terms of this Lease, but deleting therefrom any expressed statement or mention of the amount of rent herein reserved, which instrument may be recorded be either party in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Boulder County.
32. NO WAIVER OF BREACH ACCEPTANCE OF PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF RENT. No assent, or waiver expressed or implied, or failure to enforce, as to any breach of any one or more of the covenants or agreements herein shall be deemed or taken to be a waiver of any succeeding or additional breach. A waiver, to be effective, must be in writing and must be signed by the party making the waiver. A written waiver of a default shall not operate as waiver of any other default or of the same type of default on a future occasion.
Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the rent or other payment provided for herein shall not be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest rent then due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or other payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of all rent then due, and/or to pursue any or all other remedies provided for in this lease, in law, and/or in equity including, but not limited to, eviction of Tenant. Specifically, but not as a limitation, acceptance of a partial payment of rent shall not be a wavier of any default by Tenant.
33. CONTROLLING LAW. The lease, and all terms hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, exclusive of its conflicts of laws rules.
34. INUREMENTS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors. This lease shall be signed by the parties in duplicate, each of which shall be a complete and effective original lease.

EXHIBIT B
Tenant Improvements
Tenant improvements to the premises shall be constructed pursuant to a space plan which shall be mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant and shall include the following:
| • | Constructing the new offices; including any necessary electrical work and conduit for Ethernet as specified by the tenant. |
| • | Removal or relocation of the patch panel currently located in the closet, which will become part of the conference room. |
| • | Extension of the conference room into the area currently built as a closet, relocation of door to access the new offices from the conference room. |
| • | Drywall finishing and painting of all office and conference room walls to match existing Monotype offices (paint #KM 894-L). |
| • | Carpet replacement in extended conference room to be consistent throughout the room. (Suite 103 was recarpeted in July 2006, for a tenant that subsequently went out of business. The carpet is almost new, and very close to that currently in the existing Monotype offices. Depending on the availability of matching the carpet, we would probably re-carpet the conference room only, to match that currently in Suite 103). |
| • | Installation of blinds on entry door and side panels. |
