STANDARD LEASE PROVISIONS
1. TERM
(a) The Initial Term of this Lease and the Rent (defined below) shall commence on the earliest of (i) the date that the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed, or (ii) the date the Tenant Improvements would have been Substantially Completed except for Tenant Delays, or (iii) the date that Tenant, or any person occupying any of the Premises with Tenants permission, commences business operations from the Premises, or (iv) September 1, 2004 (the Commencement Date). Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Initial Term of this Lease shall be the period shown in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions. As used herein, Lease Term shall mean the Initial Term referred to in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, subject to any extension of the Initial Term hereof exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions expressly set forth herein. This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Initial Term of this Lease. The terms Tenant Improvements and Substantial Completion or Substantially Completed are defined in the attached Exhibit B Work Letter. Tenant Delays consist of those delays defined in Exhibit B.
(b) The Premises will be delivered to Tenant on the Effective Date for Tenant to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Exhibit B hereto. In the event Landlord is delayed for any reason in delivering the Premises to Tenant, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. Landlord certifies to Tenant that Intrado, Inc., the only other entity that has any right to lease the Premises, has waived its right to lease the Premises. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall have the right to access (i) the data center and the mission control room in the Premises on May 1, 2003, at no additional charge to Tenant, for the purpose of installing the Tenants telephones, equipment, and furniture and all related cabling in the data center in the Premises and for testing equipment and mission critical activities, and (ii) the remainder of the Premises on July 15, 2004, at no additional charge to Tenant, for the purpose of installing the Tenants telephones, equipment, and furniture and all related cabling in the remainder of the Premises and for testing equipment and other activities in the Premises (collectively the Pre-Term Occupancy Period). All rules, regulations and obligations of Tenant hereinafter set forth (except for the payment of Rent, as hereinafter defined) shall apply during the Pre-Term Occupancy Period.
(c) Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant, Tenants Initial Certificate in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the Certificate) which Tenant shall acknowledge by executing a copy and returning it to Landlord. If Tenant fails to sign and return the Certificate to Landlord within ten (10) days of its receipt from Landlord, the Certificate as sent by Landlord shall be deemed to have correctly set forth the Commencement Date and the other matters addressed in the Certificate. Failure of Landlord to send the Certificate shall have no effect on the Commencement Date.
(d) Tenant shall have two (2) options to renew the lease for an additional five (5) years per option in accordance with the terms and provisions of Addendum One hereto.
(e) During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written to Landlord, to convert the Storage Space in the Building to Office Space. In such event, Landlord, in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to either (i) provide Tenant with a Conversion Allowance (defined below) and the terms of the Lease as they then relate to the Office Space shall be the same for the Storage Space as then exists for the remainder of the Office Space in the Premises, or (ii) Landlord shall not provide Tenant with any allowance for the buildout of the Storage Space, the cost of any improvements to the Storage Space shall be paid for fully by Tenant, and the Basic Annual Rent for the Storage Space shall remain the same as currently set forth in the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Landlord shall not provide Tenant with any allowance for the buildout of the Storage Space, then, in addition to those matters set forth in romanette (ii) of the preceding sentence, Tenant shall also pay the same Operating Costs for the Storage Space as Tenant is then paying for the Office Space and Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space shall be adjusted accordingly. The Conversion Allowance (defined below) shall be used and disbursed in accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth in Exhibit B relating to the Office Space. As used herein, the term Conversion Allowance means the amount equal to the product of (i) forty dollars ($40.00) per square foot of Rentable Area in the applicable Storage Space, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months remaining in the Initial Term hereof (without
H-5
regard to any extension of renewal thereof) following the date that Tenant occupies the Storage Space and the denominator which is one hundred thirty-two (132). The Lease Term for the Office Space and the Storage Space shall remain coterminous. Tenant shall be responsible for any costs incurred in the construction of tenant improvements for the Storage Space in excess of the Conversion Allowance.
2. BASIC ANNUAL RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
(a) Tenant agrees to pay during each month of the Lease Term as Basic Annual Rent for both the Office Space and the Storage Space (Basic Annual Rent) for the Premises the sums shown for such periods in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. For purposes of this Lease, a Lease Year shall be each twelve (12) calendar month period commencing on the Commencement Date (or anniversary thereof).
(b) Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, Basic Annual Rent shall be payable in equal consecutive monthly installments, in advance, without demand, deduction or offset, commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the expiration of the Lease Term. The first full monthly installment of Basic Annual Rent shall be payable upon Tenants execution of this Lease. The obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. If the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or the Lease Term expires on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such partial month shall be calculated on a per diem basis.
(c) Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has paid or will pay Landlord the security deposit (the Security Deposit) in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the performance of the provisions hereof by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon.
If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent or the cleaning of the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit (i) for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, (ii) for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenants default hereunder, or (iii) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenants default hereunder, including, without limitation, costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises following a default by Tenant hereunder. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, upon demand therefore, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the appropriate amount, as determined hereunder. If Tenant shall fully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlords option, to the last assignee of Tenants interest hereunder) within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, however, that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 3 below has been determined and paid to Landlord in full. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or under Colorado law to the contrary, Tenant hereby waives Sections 38-12-101 through 38-12-104 of the Colorado Revised Statutes Annotated as such sections of the Colorado Property Code relate to the Security Deposit under this Lease.
(d) Within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to remeasure the Premises by delivering written notice to Tenant of such intent to remeasure (Remeasurement Notice). As to space leased by Tenant other than the Storage Space, Rentable Area shall be determined in accordance with BOMA Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996. After delivery of such Remeasurement Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, employ Landlords architect for the Building to perform such remeasurement of the Premises (the Remeasurement Architect). The Remeasurement Architect shall remeasure the Premises within forty-five (45) days following the delivery of the Remeasurement Notice to Tenant. Any such remeasurement of the Premises by the Remeasurement Architect shall include a Building add-on factor of six percent (6%), excluding the atrium penetration. The findings of any such remeasurement of the Premises by the Remeasurement Architect shall be delivered to both Landlord and Tenant. If necessary, the parties shall execute an amendment reflecting the results of the remeasurement of the Premises, including, if necessary, a revised Basic Annual Rent for the Premises, a revised Landlords Construction Allowance, First Additional TI Allowance and Second Additional TI Allowance, and a revised Tenants
H-6
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space, and any adjustment of Basic Annual Rent required due to such remeasurement. If Landlord does not deliver the Remeasurement Notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of this Lease, then Landlord shall have waived its right to remeasure the Premises under this Paragraph.
3. ADDITIONAL RENT
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the product of the Operating Costs (as defined below) for the Project during any calendar year falling entirely or partly within the Lease Term multiplied by Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space (Additional Rent). If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Additional Rent for such month or months shall be prorated. The payment for such prorated month shall be calculated by multiplying the monthly installment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the lease term occurring during said commencement or termination month, as the case may be, and the denominator being the total number of days occurring in said commencement or termination month. Also if the Lease Term commences or terminates on a day other than the first day of a calendar year, then the Additional Rent shall be prorated for such commencement or termination year, as the case may be, by multiplying each by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the lease term during the commencement or termination year, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be 365. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.
(b) Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space is, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18, the percentage number described in Item 4(a) of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space represents, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18, a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of Rentable Area of Office Space in the Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of Rentable Area in the Project, as determined by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 18.
(c) Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year of Landlords estimate of the amount of Operating Costs (Estimated Operating Costs) that Landlord will likely incur for the Project during the coming calendar year, and Landlord shall advise Tenant of the amount of its Estimated Payments (as defined below) for the coming calendar year. The term Estimated Payments shall be an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenants Proportionate Share of Estimated Operating Costs for any given calendar year. Tenant shall pay such Estimated Payments to Landlord in advance on the first day of each month. If Landlord determines in its reasonable opinion that Landlords initial determination of Estimated Operating Costs was incorrect, then Landlord shall have the right to adjust the Estimated Operating Costs and the Estimated Payments as necessary; provided, however, Landlord shall not have the right to adjust such Estimated Operating Costs and/or Estimated Payments more than once in any one calendar year or more than twenty percent (20%) of the Landlords initial estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the twenty percent (20%) cap on increasing the Landlords initial estimate in any one year shall not create any type of cap or otherwise adversely effect or reduce any Operating Cost Reimbursement (defined below) that Tenant may owe to Landlord hereunder. If Landlord fails to timely notify Tenant prior to the beginning of a calendar year of the Estimated Operating Costs and Estimated Payments for the upcoming calendar year, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Estimated Payments for the prior calendar year until Landlord does notify Tenant of the new Estimated Operating Costs and Estimated Payments. Within a reasonable period after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement indicating in reasonable detail the actual Operating Costs for the previous calendar year and the parties shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenants Estimated Payments to Tenants actual share of such Operating Costs as indicated by such annual statement (Operating Cost Reimbursement). Any payment due Landlord shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlords written demand therefor. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against Rent installments next becoming due under this Paragraph 3(c) or refunded to Tenant, if requested by Tenant. Real Estate Taxes for each calendar year shall be the Real Estate Taxes that accrue for the year (which, under the current law, are payable in the following calendar year). A final tax bill shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of Real Estate Taxes, unless Landlord appeals the amount of such Real Estate Taxes or the assessment of the Building. The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
H-7
(d) Operating Costs means all reasonable costs, expenses and obligations incurred or payable by Landlord in connection with the operation, ownership, management, repair or maintenance of the Building and the Project during or allocable to the Lease Term, including without limitation, the following:

(g) All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent to be allocated to monthly Operating Costs.
(h) Tenant shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency or earlier, all taxes and assessments (i) levied against any personal property, tenant improvements or trade fixtures of Tenant in or about the Premises and (ii) based upon this Lease or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in this Lease or an estate in all or any portion of the Premises. If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlords property or if the assessed value of the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures, Tenant shall upon demand reimburse Landlord for the taxes and assessments so levied against Landlord, or such taxes, levies and assessments resulting from such increase in assessed value.
(i) Any delay or failure of Landlord in (i) delivering notice of the Estimated Payments, or any other estimate or statement described in Paragraph 3, or (ii) computing or billing Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space or the Estimated Payments shall not constitute a waiver of its right to require an
H-10
increase in Additional Rent, or in any way impair, the continuing obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 3. In the event of any dispute as to any Additional Rent due under this Paragraph 3, an officer of Tenant or Tenants certified public accountant or vendor with similar qualifications shall have the right after reasonable notice and at reasonable times to inspect Landlords accounting records at Landlords accounting office. Notwithstanding the foregoing Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not hire a certified public accountant or vendor with similar qualifications under the previous sentence who is being paid on a contingency-fee or other similar basis. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, upon Tenants written request therefor, a certification as to the proper amount of Operating Costs and the amount due to or payable by Tenant shall be made by an independent certified public accountant mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree to an independent certified public accountant, then the parties agree that Landlord shall choose an independent certified public accountant to conduct the certification as to the proper amount of Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space due by Tenant for the period in question; provided, however, such certified public accountant shall not be the accountant who conducted Landlords initial calculation of Operating Costs to which Tenant is now objecting. Such certification shall be final and conclusive as to all parties. If the certification reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office for the period in question, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenants next payment of Operating Costs or, at the request of Tenant, promptly refund such excess to Tenant and conversely, if Tenant has underpaid Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space, Tenant shall promptly pay such additional Operating Costs to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such certification and the investigation with respect thereto and no adjustments in Tenants favor shall be made unless it is determined that Landlords original statement was in error in Landlords favor by more than five percent (5%). Tenant waives the right to dispute any matter relating to the calculation of Operating Costs or Additional Rent under this Paragraph 3 if any claim or dispute is not asserted in writing to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery to Tenant of the original billing statement with respect thereto.
(j) Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the Estimated Payments paid, and conversely, any overpayment made by Tenant shall be promptly refunded to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt. If Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has overpaid its share of Operating Costs for the year, such matter is not in dispute, and Landlord fails to timely refund Tenant such overpayment, then and only then, Tenant may offset such overpayment against the next installment of Rent due Landlord. If there is a dispute regarding an overpayment of Operating Costs pursuant to this paragraph, then such matter shall be subject to expedited arbitration as set forth in Addendum Six of this Lease. If the Arbitrator(s) (defined in Addendum Six above), following such expedited arbitration, determine(s) that Landlord owes Tenant such overpayment and Landlord does not refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the Arbitrator(s) ruling, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount of the overpayment that Landlord owes Tenant as set forth in the ruling of the Arbitrator(s) together with interest at the Default Rate against Rent.
(k) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for Controllable Operating Costs in any year to the extent they have increased by more than four percent (4%) per annum, compounded annually on a cumulative basis from the first calendar year during the Lease Term. For purposes of this Lease, Controllable Operating Costs shall mean all Operating Costs except for taxes, insurance premiums and utility costs and all costs and expenses for security for the Building and the Project. Controllable Operating Costs shall be determined on an aggregate basis and not on an individual basis, and the cap on Controllable Operating Costs shall be determined on Operating Costs as they have been adjusted for vacancy or usage pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
(l) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and provided that during the first year of the Initial Term, Tenant electrical and HVAC usage for the Office Space in the Premises is typical for an office tenant in Longmont, Colorado, then for the first twelve (12) months of the Initial Term, Tenant shall not pay any portion of Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for the Office Space in the Premises.
(m) Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 1(e) of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible and liable for only HVAC, electrical and janitorial costs in the Storage Space and such amounts shall also be Additional Rent. The Rentable Area of the Storage Space shall not be included for determining Tenants Office Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall separately meter the HVAC
H-11
and electricity usage for the Premises, and the cost of separately metering the HVAC and electricity usage for the Premises shall be at Tenants sole cost and expense, but may be paid out of the Landlords Construction Allowance.
(n) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the electricity for the Office Space and Storage Space are separately metered. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that it shall pass through to Tenant the actual electrical costs for the Premises and will not mark-up such electrical costs for the Premises. Other utilities for the Premises, including gas, water and sewer, are all prorated among all the tenants of the Project according to each tenants proportionate share of the Project and Landlord shall not mark-up such other bills for the Premises.
(o) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenants refuse and rubbish, to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish which generally would be produced by the use of the Premises for general office purposes.
(p) Tenant shall be responsible for its own janitorial services within the Premises and Tenant shall provide such janitorial services to the Premises Monday through Friday (except state and federal holidays) during the Lease Term. The janitorial services for the Premises shall be comparable to other janitorial services being provided to similar tenants in the Building.
(q) The Basic Annual Rent, as adjusted pursuant to Paragraphs 2, 3 and 7, and other amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, are sometimes collectively referred to as, and shall constitute, Rent.

All Alterations shall be constructed at Tenants sole cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Landlord may monitor construction of the Alterations. Landlords right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Landlord shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to instruct Tenant to remove those improvements or Alterations from the Premises (but not the Tenant Improvements which were approved by Landlord as set forth in the Final Plans) which (i) were not approved in advance by Landlord, (ii) were not built in conformance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, or (iii) Landlord specified during its review of plans and specifications for Alterations would need to be removed by Tenant upon the expiration of this Lease. If Landlord approved the construction of Alterations, then Tenant shall not be obligated to remove such Alterations at the expiration of this Lease, unless Landlord specified to Tenant at the time of such approval that Tenant would be required to remove such Alterations upon the expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval with respect to what improvements or Alterations Landlord may require Tenant to remove at the expiration of the Lease. If upon the termination of this Lease Landlord requires Tenant to remove any or all of such Alterations from the Premises, then Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall promptly remove such Alterations and improvements and Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises to its
H-12
original condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Any Alterations remaining in the Premises following the expiration of the Lease Term or following the surrender of the Premises from Tenant to Landlord, shall become the property of Landlord unless Landlord notifies Tenant otherwise. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reimbursement or other payment at the termination of the Lease or otherwise for any Alterations to the Premises. Tenant shall assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens and shall provide certificates of insurance for workers compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for bodily injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations and upon Landlords reasonable request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be required to remove any of the initial Tenant Improvements constructed in the Premises in accordance with Exhibit B hereto.
(c) Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any and all liens arising out of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, any Alterations, work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a bond in a form and issued by a surety acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such lien to be released by such means as it shall deem proper (including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien); in such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all amounts so paid by Landlord in connection therewith, together with all of Landlords costs and expenses, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (defined below) and Tenant shall indemnify each and all of the Landlord Indemnitees (defined below) against any damages, losses or costs arising out of any such claim.

During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use Tenants Total Proportionate Share of the Buildings Electricity and the Buildings HVAC in the Premises.
(b) Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord and to comply with all regulations and requirements which Landlord may from time to time prescribe for the use of the utilities and services described herein.

(c) If Tenant requires utilities or services in quantities greater than Tenants Total Proportionate Share of the Buildings Electricity and/or the Buildings HVAC, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon receipt of a written statement therefor, Landlords charge for such use. In the event that Tenant shall require additional (i)
H-16
electric current, in excess of the Buildings Electricity, or (ii) water or gas in excess of Tenants Total Proportionate Share for water or gas for Tenants use in the Premises, and if, in Landlords judgment, such excess requirements cannot be furnished unless additional risers, conduits, feeders, switchboards and/or appurtenances are installed in the Building, subject to the conditions stated below, Landlord shall proceed to install the same at the sole cost of Tenant, payable upon demand in advance. The installation of such facilities shall be conditioned upon Landlords consent, and a determination that the installation and use thereof (i) shall be permitted by applicable Law and insurance regulations, (ii) shall not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or adversely affect the value of the Building or the Project, and (iii) shall not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or interfere with or disturb other tenants in the Building. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall, upon reasonable prior notice by Tenant, furnish to the Premises additional elevator, heating, air conditioning and/or cleaning services upon such reasonable terms and conditions as shall be determined by Landlord, including payment of Landlords charge therefor.

The cost of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant upon demand.
(d) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any damages, abatement or reduction of Rent, or other liability by reason of any failure to furnish any services or utilities described herein for any reason (other than Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct), including, without limitation, when caused by accident, breakage, repairs, Alterations or other improvements to the Project, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action, inability to obtain electricity, water or fuel, or any other cause beyond Landlords control. Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate with the energy conservation efforts of governmental agencies or utility suppliers. No such failure, stoppage or interruption of any such utility or service shall be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor shall the same relieve Tenant from any obligation to perform any covenant or agreement under this Lease. In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption thereof, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to restore all services promptly. No representation is made by Landlord with respect to the adequacy or fitness of the Buildings ventilating, air conditioning or other systems to maintain temperatures as may be required for the operation of any computer, data processing or other special equipment of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 7 to the contrary, if an interruption or cessation of a utility service to the Premises from a cause within the reasonable control of Landlord results in the Premises being unusable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenants business, then Basic Annual Rent and Operating Costs shall be abated commencing on that date which is five (5) business days following the date Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of such interruption and continuing until either such utility service to the Premises is restored or the Premises is again usable for the conduct of Tenants business. Additionally, if an interruption or cessation of a utility service to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises from a cause within the reasonable control of Landlord results in more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises being unusable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenants business for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease for the entire Premises by providing Landlord with written notice of such termination following such one hundred eighty (180) day period but prior to the restoration of utility services to the Premises or portion of the Premises being affected. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, if the interruption or cessation of utility services is caused by fire or other casualty, or by condemnation, then this paragraph shall not apply and the provisions of Paragraph 9 (in the event of a fire or other casualty) or Paragraph 10 (in the event of a condemnation) shall prevail in determining Tenants rights to abatement of Rent and Tenant shall not have a right to terminate this Lease under this Paragraph 7(d).
(e) Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications to the above standards for utilities and services.
8. NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD; INSURANCE
(a) Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage suffered by Tenant or to any person or property occurring or incurred in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project from any cause, UNLESS SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEE (DEFINED BELOW), BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH LANDLORD INDEMNITEE (DEFINED BELOW), Without limiting the foregoing, neither Landlord nor any of its partners, officers, trustees, affiliates, directors, employees, contractors, agents or representatives (collectively, Affiliates) shall be liable for
H-17
and there shall be no abatement of Rent (except in the event of a casualty loss or a condemnation as set forth in Paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Lease) for (i) any damage to Tenants property stored with or entrusted to Affiliates of Landlord, (ii) loss of or damage to any property by theft or any other wrongful or illegal act, or (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or the Project or from the pipes, appliances, appurtenances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever or from the acts or omissions of other tenants, occupants or other visitors to the Building or the Project or from any other cause whatsoever, (iv) any diminution or shutting off of light, at or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building, whether within or outside of the Project, or (v) any latent or other defect in the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in the event of (i) the occurrence of a fire or accident in the Premises or in the Building, or (ii) the discovery of a defect therein or in the fixtures or equipment thereof This Paragraph 8(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its designated property management company, and their respective partners, members, affiliates and subsidiaries, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, servants, partners, representatives, insurers and agents (collectively, Landlord Indemnities) for, from and against all liabilities, claims, penalties, costs, damages or injuries to persons, damages to property, losses, liens, causes of action, suits, judgments and expenses (including court costs, attorneys fees, expert witness fees and costs of investigation), of any nature, kind or description of any person or entity, directly or indirectly arising out of, caused by, or resulting from (in whole or part) (1) Tenants construction of or use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises, (2) any activity, work or other things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant and its agents and employees in or about the Premises, (3) any breach or default in the performance of any of Tenants obligations under this Lease, (4) any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, employees, business invitees or licensees, or (5) any damage to Tenants property, or the property of Tenants agents, employees, contractors, business invitees or licensees, located in or about the Premises (collectively, Liabilities); EVEN IF SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEE, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH LANDLORD INDEMNITEE. This Paragraph 8(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(c) Tenant shall promptly advise Landlord in writing of any action, administrative or legal proceeding or investigation as to which this indemnification may apply, and Tenant, at Tenants expense, shall assume on behalf of each and every Landlord Indemnitee and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; provided, however, that any Landlord Indemnitee shall have the right, at its option, to be represented therein by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense. In the event of failure by Tenant to fully perform in accordance with this Paragraph, Landlord, at its option, and without relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder, may so perform, but all costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord in that event shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, together with interest on the same from the date any such expense was paid by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant, at the rate of interest provided to be paid on judgments, by the law of the jurisdiction to which the interpretation of this Lease is subject. The indemnification provided in Paragraph 8(b) shall not be limited to damages, compensation or benefits payable under insurance policies, workers compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employees benefit acts. Landlord and Landlords Indemnities shall cooperate fully with Tenant in the defense of any claims under this paragraph of the Lease.
(d) Insurance.
(i) Tenant at all times during the Lease Term shall, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect (A) commercial general liability insurance providing coverage against bodily injury and disease, including death resulting therefrom, bodily injury and property damage to a combined single limit of $3,000,000 to one or more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence, which shall include provision for contractual liability coverage insuring Tenant for the performance of its indemnity obligations set forth in this Paragraph 8 of this Lease, (B) workers compensation insurance to the statutory limit, if any, and employers liability insurance to the limit of $500,000 per occurrence, and (C) All Risk or special purpose personal property insurance covering full replacement value of all of Tenants personal property, trade fixtures and improvements in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if there is
H-18
any flooding of the Premises or the Building that Tenant shall be solely and fully responsible and liable for all of Tenants business losses related to such flooding and for any damage to Tenants property, equipment, furniture and other items located in the Premises. Landlord and its designated property management firm shall be named an additional insured on each of said policies (excluding the workers compensation policy) and said policies shall be issued by an insurance company or companies authorized to do business in Colorado and which have policyholder ratings not lower than A- and financial ratings not lower than VII in Bests Insurance Guide (latest edition in effect as of the Date of Lease and subsequently in effect as of the date of renewal of the required policies). EACH OF SAID POLICIES SHALL ALSO INCLUDE A WAIVER OF SUBROGATION PROVISION OR ENDORSEMENT IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, AND AN ENDORSEMENT PROVIDING THAT LANDLORD SHALL RECEIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE OF ANY CANCELLATION OF, NONRF,NEWAL OF, REDUCTION OF COVERAGE OR MATERIAL CHANGE IN COVERAGE ON SAID POLICIES. Tenant hereby waives its right of recovery against any Landlord Indemnitee of any amounts paid by Tenant or on Tenants behalf to satisfy applicable workers compensation laws. The policies or duly executed certificates showing the material terns for the same, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premiums therefor, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the tern of such coverage. If certificates are supplied rather than the policies themselves, Tenant shall allow Landlord, at all reasonable times, to inspect the policies of insurance required herein.
(ii) It is expressly understood and agreed that the coverages required represent Landlords minimum requirements and such are not to be construed to void or limit Tenants obligations contained in this Lease, including without limitation Tenants indemnity obligations hereunder. Neither shall (A) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company carrying Tenant, (B) the failure of any insurance company to pay claims occurring nor (C) any exclusion from or insufficiency of coverage be held to affect, negate or waive any of Tenants indemnity obligations under this Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 6(g)(ii) or any other provision of this Lease. With respect to insurance coverages, except workers compensation, maintained hereunder by Tenant and insurance coverages separately obtained by Landlord, all insurance coverages afforded by policies of insurance maintained by Tenant shall be primary insurance as such coverages apply to Landlord, and such insurance coverages separately maintained by Landlord shall be excess, and Tenant shall have its insurance policies so endorsed. The amount of liability insurance under insurance policies maintained by Tenant shall not be reduced by the existence of insurance coverage under policies separately maintained by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any premiums, assessments, penalties, deductible assumptions, retentions, audits, retrospective adjustments or any other kind of payment due under its policies.
(iii) Tenants occupancy of the Premises without delivering the certificates of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants obligations to provide the required coverages. If Tenant provides to Landlord a certificate that does not evidence the coverages required herein, or that is faulty in any respect, such shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants obligations to provide the proper insurance.
(iv) Throughout the Lease Term, Landlord agrees to maintain (i) fire and extended coverage insurance on the insurable portions of Building and the remainder of the Project in an amount not less than the fair replacement value thereof, subject to reasonable deductibles (ii) boiler and machinery insurance amounts and with deductibles that would be considered standard for similar class office building in the city in which the Project is located and (iii) commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. All such insurance shall be obtained from insurers Landlord reasonably believes to be financially responsible in light of the risks being insured. The premiums for any such insurance shall be a part of Operating Costs.
(e) Mutual Waivers of Recovery. Landlord, Tenant, and all parties claiming under them, each mutually release and discharge each other from responsibility for that portion of any loss or damage paid or reimbursed by an insurer of Landlord or Tenant under any fire, extended coverage or other property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to its Premises or by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project (or which would have been paid had the insurance required to be maintained hereunder been in full force and effect), no matter how caused, including negligence, and each waives any right of recovery from the other including, but not
H-19
limited to, claims for contribution or indemnity, which might otherwise exist on account thereof. Any fire, extended coverage or property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to the Premises, or Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project, shall contain, in the case of Tenants policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Landlord, and in the case of Landlords policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Tenant, or, in the event that such insurers cannot or shall not include or attach such waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement, Tenant and Landlord shall obtain the approval and consent of their respective insurers, in writing, to the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each and all of the Landlord Indemnitees from and against any claim, suit or cause of action asserted or brought by Tenants insurers for, on behalf of, or in the name of Tenant, including, but not limited to, claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation, brought in contravention of this paragraph. The mutual releases, discharges and waivers contained in this provision shall apply EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE TO WHICH THIS PROVISION APPLIES IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR TENANT.
(f) Business Interruption. Landlord shall not be responsible for, and Tenant releases and discharges Landlord from, and Tenant further waives any right of recovery from Landlord for, any loss for or from business interruption or loss of use of the Premises suffered by Tenant in connection with Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises, EVEN IF SUCH LOSS IS CAUSED SOLELY OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD.
(g) Adjustment of Claims. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and Landlords insurers in the adjustment of any insurance claim pertaining to the Building or the Project or Landlords use thereof.
(h) Increase in Landlords Insurance Costs. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord any increase in premiums for Landlords insurance policies resulting from Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises.
(i) Failure to Maintain Insurance. Any failure of Tenant to obtain and maintain the insurance policies and coverages required hereunder or failure by Tenant to meet any of the insurance requirements of this Lease shall constitute an event of default hereunder, and such failure shall entitle Landlord to pursue, exercise or obtain any of the remedies provided for in Paragraph 12(b), and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any loss suffered by Landlord as a result of such failure. In the event of failure by Tenant to maintain the insurance policies and coverages required by this Lease or to meet any of the insurance requirements of this Lease, Landlord, at its option, and without relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder, may obtain said insurance policies and coverages or perform any other insurance obligation of Tenant, but all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining such insurance or performing Tenants insurance obligations shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, together with interest on same from the date any such cost or expense was paid by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant, at the rate of interest provided to be paid on judgments, by the law of the jurisdiction to which the interpretation of this Lease is subject.
9. FIRE OR CASUALTY
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 9, in the event the Premises, or access thereto, is wholly or partially destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall (to the extent permitted by Law and covenants, conditions and restrictions then applicable to the Project) rebuild, repair or restore the Premises and access thereto to substantially the same condition as existing immediately prior to such destruction and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Landlords obligation to rebuild, repair or restore the Premises shall not apply to any personal property, above-standard tenant improvements or other items installed or contained in the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to rebuild, repair or restore the Premises with respect to any damage or destruction occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension of the term.
(b) Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease in any of the following cases of damage or destruction to the Premises, the Building or the Project: (i) where the cost of rebuilding, repairing and restoring (collectively, Restoration) of the Building or the Project, would, regardless of the lack of damage to the Premises or access thereto, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, exceed thirty percent (30%) of the then replacement cost of the Building; (ii) where, in the case of any damage or destruction to any portion of the Building or the Project by uninsured casualty, the cost of Restoration of the Building or the Project, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord,
H-20
exceeds $2,000,000; or (iii) where, in the case of any damage or destruction to the Premises or access thereto by uninsured casualty, the cost of Restoration of the Premises or access thereto, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the replacement cost of the Premises. Any such termination shall be made by thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days of the date of such damage or destruction. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord and as the result of any damage or destruction, the Premises, or a portion thereof, are rendered untenantable, the Basic Annual Rent and any Additional Rent shall abate (based upon the extent to which such damage and Restoration materially interfere with Tenants business in the Premises from the time of the casualty); provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises are rendered untenantable for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of damage or destruction (the 180 Day Period) by delivering written notice to Landlord of its intent to terminate this Lease after the 180 Day Period, but prior to the substantial completion of the Restoration of the Premises. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
10. EMINENT DOMAIN
In the event the whole of the Premises, the Building or the Project shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold to prevent the exercise thereof (collectively, a Taking), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such Taking. In the event a Taking of a portion of the Project, the Building or the Premises shall, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, substantially interfere with Landlords operation thereof, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant given at any time within sixty (60) days following the date of such Taking. For purposes of this Lease, the date of Taking shall be the earlier of the date of transfer of title resulting from such Taking or the date of transfer of possession resulting from such Taking. In the event that a portion of the Premises is so taken and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall, with reasonable diligence, use commercially reasonable efforts to proceed to restore (to the extent permitted by Law and covenants, conditions and restrictions then applicable to the Project) the Premises (other than Tenants personal property and fixtures, and above-standard tenant improvements) to a complete, functioning unit. In such case, the Basic Annual Rent shall be reduced proportionately based on the portion of the Premises so taken. If all or any portion of the Premises is the subject of a temporary Taking, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform each of its obligations under this Lease; in such case, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award allocable to the temporary Taking of the Premises. Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for, and hereby assigns to Landlord, any compensation in connection with any such Taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award therefor, without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 10 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the condemning authority for the Taking of personal property, fixtures, above standard tenant improvements of Tenant or for relocation or moving expenses recoverable by Tenant from the condemning authority. This Paragraph 10 shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Taking.
11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or grant any license in or suffer any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such attempted assignment, subletting, license, mortgage, hypothecation, other encumbrance or other use or occupancy without the consent of Landlord shall be null and void and of no effect. Any mortgage, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of Tenants interest in this Lease or in the Premises and any grant of a license or sufferance of any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. In addition, as used in this Paragraph 11, the term Tenant shall also mean any entity that has guaranteed Tenants obligations under this Lease, and the restrictions applicable to Tenant contained herein shall also be applicable to such guarantor. Landlords agreement to not unreasonably withhold its consent shall only apply to the first assignment or sublease under the Lease. Provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to assign all or part of the Premises to an Affiliate (defined below) of Tenant without Landlords prior written consent, so long as it is to an Affiliate whose character and
H-21
business is consistent with the standard of the Building and the financial strength of the Affiliate is equal to that of the Tenant at the time the Lease is executed.. The term Affiliate shall mean any of the following: (i) an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to an entity to which substantially all of Tenants assets at the Premises are transferred; or (ii) an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. The term controlled by or commnon controlled with shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such controlled person or entity; the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity shall be presumed to constitute such control.
(b) Except for an initial public offering by Tenant, a change of more than 51% in the internal ownership of Tenant shall require Landlords prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, if the change in internal ownership does not affect the character or business of Tenant and if the financial strength of Tenant following such change of internal ownership is equal to or greater to that of the Tenant at the time this Lease was executed, then Landlord shall automatically consent to such change in internal control of Tenant.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting or assignment. Consent by Landlord to one subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to constitute a consent to any other or subsequent attempted subletting or assignment. If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee, all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, and all such financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant. Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(d) At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of the information specified in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, and if such sublease or assignment is less than the remainder of the Lease Term, then Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises so proposed to be subleased or assigned (which may include all of the Premises), with a proportionate abatement in the Rent payable hereunder if an existing tenant in the Building has a need for such subleased or assigned space.
(e) Tenant acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease in any of the following instances:
(i) The assignee or sublessee is not, in Landlords reasonable opinion, less creditworthy than the Tenant at the time of execution of this Lease;
(ii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not the same as set forth in this Lease or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(iii) The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Building;
(iv) Occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord, the Building or the Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Building, or similar matters;
(v) The assignee or sublessee is a current tenant or subtenant within the Building or Project;
(vi) The identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Building or Project; or
H-22
(vii) In the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease.
The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease.
(f) Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenants obligations under this Lease shall at all times during the initial term and any subsequent renewals or extensions remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenants other obligations under this Lease. In the event that the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment, plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, one-half of all such excess Rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant.
(g) If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises is subleased (whether in whole or in part), or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenants leasehold interest, or grant of any concession or license within the Premises, or if the Premises are occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next Rent payable hereunder; and all such Rent collected by Tenant shall be held in deposit for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of Rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.
(h) Should Tenant request of Landlord the right to assign or sublet its rights under this Lease, Landlord shall charge Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of Landlords legal fees up to a maximum amount of Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($750.00).
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenants estate within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All such money and other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.
12. DEFAULT
(a) Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default (herein so called) by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to make any payment of Rent, Operating Costs or any other sums of money due pursuant to the Lease and such monetary default continues to exist in full or part at the expiration of five (5) days after written notice is given by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written notice to Tenant three (3) times within any Lease Year and in the event Tenant fails to timely pay Rent or any other sums for a fourth time during any Lease Year, then Tenant shall be in default for such late payment and Landlord shall have no obligation or duty to provide notice of such non-payment to Tenant prior to declaring an event of default under this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with or observe any other provision of this Lease and such failure shall continue for twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant (or, in the case of Tenants failure to comply with or observe any other single provision of this Lease more than ten (10) times during the Lease Term, upon the occurrence of the eleventh and all subsequent such failures, without notice from Landlord); (iii) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations hereunder shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations hereunder under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing, or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations hereunder shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed thereunder; (v) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants
H-23
obligations hereunder, and such appointment shall not be vacated or otherwise terminated, and the action in which such appointment was ordered dismissed, within sixty (60) days of filing; (vi) Tenant shall fail to take possession of or shall desert, abandon or vacate the Premises; (vii) the death of any guarantor; or (viii) the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or (v) of this Paragraph (without regard to any cure periods contained therein), and the failure thereafter of Tenant (A) to timely and fully make any payment of Rent or any other sum of money due hereunder or (B) to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it hereunder. Notwithstanding the language in this Paragraph 12(a)(vi), Tenants vacation of the Premises shall not constitute an event of default under the Lease if prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to (a) insure that Tenants insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled with respect to the Premises as a result of such vacancy, (b) insure that the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism, and (c) insure that the Premises will be properly maintained after such vacation. Tenant shall inspect the Premises at least once each month and report monthly in writing to Landlord on the condition of the Premises.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this Lease, whether enumerated in this Paragraph or not, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice (except as expressly prescribed herein) or demand for possession whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of rent or other obligations due and waives any and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable law):
(i) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon termination of the Lease hereunder, Landlord may without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, by force, if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise, specifically including but not limited to all Costs of Reletting (hereinafter defined) and any deficiency that may arise by reason of any reletting. The Landlord shall take all reasonable measures to mitigate damages suffered in such event.
(ii) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, by force, if necessary, without having any civil or criminal liability therefor and without terminating this Lease. Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant for such term or terms which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord in its absolute discretion may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand all Costs of Reletting and any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. No such re-entry or tatting of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlords part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such termination is given to Tenant.
(iii) Enter upon the Premises by force if necessary without having any civil or criminal liability therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terns of this Lease and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expense which Landlord may incur in thus affecting compliance with Tenants obligations under this Lease together with interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to (i) the highest lawful rate of interest allowed by Colorado or federal law, or (ii) twelve percent (12%) and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.
(iv) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof, in which event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (i) all rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination, (ii) all Costs of Reletting, and (iii) an amount equal to (A) the total rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for
H-24
the remainder of the Lease Term discounted to present value minus (B) the then present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted.
In order to regain possession of the Premises and to deny Tenant access thereto, Landlord or its agent may, at the expense and liability of the Tenant, alter or change any or all locks or other security devices controlling access to the Premises without posting or giving notice of any kind to Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant a key or grant Tenant access to the Premises so long as Tenant is in default under this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to recover possession of the Premises, terminate this Lease, or recover any actual, incidental, consequential, punitive, statutory or other damages or award of attorneys fees, by reason of Landlords alteration or change of any lock or other security device and the resulting exclusion from the Premises of the Tenant or Tenants agents, servants, employees, customers, licensees, invitees or any other persons from the Premises. Landlord may, without notice, remove and either dispose of or store, at Tenants expense, any property belonging to Tenant that remains in the Premises after Landlord has regained possession thereof. Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this subparagraph of this Lease supersedes applicable statutory provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes and Tenant further warrants and represents that it hereby knowingly waives any rights it may have thereunder.
(c) For purposes of this Lease, the term Costs of Reletting shall mean all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the reletting of the Premises, including without limitation the cost of cleaning, renovation, repairs, decoration and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant or tenants, advertisement, marketing, brokerage and legal fees, the cost of protecting or caring for the Premises while vacant, the cost of removing and storing any property located on the Premises, any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord including tenant inducements such as the cost of moving the new tenant or tenants and the cost of assuming any portion of the existing lease(s) of the new tenant(s).
(d) Except as otherwise herein provided, no repossession or re-entering on the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to subparagraph (b) hereof or otherwise shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such repossession or re-entering. Notwithstanding any such repossession or re-entering on the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Basic Annual Rent and other rent or other sum required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
(e) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement, applicable law or in equity. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
(f) This Paragraph shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion. To the extent any provision of applicable law requires some action by Landlord to evidence or effect the termination of this Lease or to evidence the termination of Tenants right of occupancy, Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that written notice by Landlord to any of Tenants agents, servants or employees, which specifically sets forth Landlords intention to terminate, shall be sufficient to evidence and effect the termination herein provided for.
13. ACCESS; CONSTRUCTION
Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will implement a security plan for the protection of classified information. Such plan shall be reasonably approved by Landlord and any right of access to the Premises shall be consistent with such plan. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that some of the information and data possessed by Tenant is governed by The Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Control Regulations (ITAR). Access to areas in which ITAR information or data resides shall be subject to conformance with the ITAR
H-25
regulations and Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to comply with such regulations. Landlord reserves the right to use the roof and exterior walls of the Premises and the area beneath, adjacent to and above the Premises, together with the right to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate equipment, machinery, meters, pipes, ducts, plumbing, conduits and wiring through the Premises, which serve other portions of the Building or the Project in a manner and in locations which do not unreasonably interfere with Tenants use of the Premises. In addition, Landlord shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations of Landlord or Tenant, including, without limitation, machine rooms, telephone rooms and electrical closets. Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which materially interfere with or which threaten to materially interfere with Landlords free access thereto, or materially interfere with the moving of Landlords equipment to or from the enclosures containing said installations. Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice (except in the event of an emergency, when no notice shall be necessary), Landlord reserves and shall at any time and all times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility, to alter, improve, restore, rebuild or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building, or to do any other act permitted or contemplated to be done by Landlord hereunder, all without being deemed guilty of an eviction of Tenant and without liability for abatement of Rent or otherwise. For such purposes, Landlord may also erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed. Landlord shall conduct all such inspections and/or improvements, alterations and repairs so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably practical and without additional expense to Landlord, any interruption of or interference with the business of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenants business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of such purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises (excluding Tenants vaults and safes, access to which shall be provided by Tenant upon Landlords reasonable request). Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises or any portion thereof, and Landlord shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to provide whatever access control measures it deems reasonably necessary to the Project, without any interruption or abatement in the payment of Rent by Tenant. Any entry into the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means shall not under any circumstances be construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, Alterations or decorations to the Premises or the Project except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

16. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
(a) Tenant agrees that this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to any and all deeds of trust, security interests, mortgages, master leases, ground leases or other security documents and any and all modifications, renewals, extensions, consolidations and replacements thereof (collectively, Security Documents) which now or hereafter constitute a lien upon or affect the Project, the Building or the Premises. Such subordination shall be effective without the necessity of the execution by Tenant of any additional document for the purpose of evidencing or effecting such subordination. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such Security Documents to this Lease and in such case, in the event of the termination or transfer of Landlords estate or interest in the Project by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents, Tenant shall, notwithstanding such subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in interest. Furthermore, Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor execute any instruments or other documents which may be required by Landlord or the holder of any Security Document and specifically shall execute, acknowledge and deliver within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor a subordination of lease or subordination of deed of trust, in the form required by the holder of the Security Document requesting the document; the failure to do so by Tenant within such time period shall be a material default hereunder; provided, however, the new landlord or the holder of any Security Document shall agree that Tenants quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
H-26
(b) If any proceeding is brought for default under any ground or master lease to which this Lease is subject or in the event of foreclosure or the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage, deed of trust or other Security Document made by Landlord covering the Premises, at the election of such ground lessor, master lessor or purchaser at foreclosure, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the same as Landlord under this Lease, provided such successor expressly agrees in writing to be bound to all future obligations by the terms of this Lease, and if so requested, Tenant shall enter into a new lease with that successor on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease (for the unexpired term of this Lease then remaining),
(c) In addition to any statutory lien for Rent in Landlords favor, Landlord (the secured party for purposes hereof) shall have and Tenant (the debtor for purposes hereof) hereby grants to Landlord, an express contract lien and a continuing security interest to secure the payment of all Rent due hereunder from Tenant, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory and other personal property of Tenant (and any transferees or other occupants of the Premises) presently or hereafter situated on the Premises and upon all proceeds of any insurance which may accrue to Tenant by reason of damage or destruction of any such property. In the event of a default under this Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law, all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises is located, including without limitation the right to sell the property described in this paragraph at public or private sale upon ten (10) days notice to Tenant, which notice Tenant hereby agrees is adequate and reasonable. Tenant hereby agrees to execute such other instruments necessary or desirable in Landlords discretion to perfect the security interest hereby created. Any statutory lien for Rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease and the security interest granted herein serve as a financing statement, and a copy or photographic or other reproduction of this paragraph of this Lease may be filed of record by Landlord and have the same force and effect as the original. Tenant warrants and represents that the collateral subject to the security interest granted herein is not purchased or used by Tenant for personal, family or household purposes. Tenant further warrants and represents to Landlord that the lien granted herein constitutes a first and superior lien and that Tenant will not allow the placing of any other lien upon any of the property described in this paragraph without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(d) Tenant shall, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior notice by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying to those facts for which certification has been requested by Landlord or any current or prospective purchaser, holder of any Security Document, ground lessor or master lessor, including, but without limitation, that (i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) the dates to which the Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid, if any, and (iii) whether or not to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant may have knowledge. The form of the statement attached hereto as Exhibit E is hereby approved by Tenant for use pursuant to this subparagraph (d); however, at Landlords option, Landlord shall have the right to use other forms for such purpose. Tenants failure to execute and deliver such statement within such time shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a material default under this Lease and, in any event, shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any such certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution. Any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 16 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee of the Building or the Project or any mortgagee, ground lessor or other like encumbrancer thereof or any assignee of any such encumbrance upon the Building or the Project.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contra y in this Article 16, with respect to any future first lien mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens entered into by Landlord and any mortgagee and/or beneficiary of any deed of trust or other lien (landlords mortgagee), Landlord shall use best efforts to obtain within sixty (60) days of original occupancy by Tenant or within sixty (60) days from the date same are entered into (as the case may be), a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Landlords mortgagee for the benefit of Tenant that will be executed and delivered by Landlords mortgagee to Tenant. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the effective date of this Lease, there is no lender or mortgagee with a lien against the Building.

17. SALE BY LANDLORD; TENANTS REMEDIES; NONRECOURSE LIABILITY
(a) In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building or the Project, Landlord shall be released from any and all liability under this Lease. If the Security Deposit has been made by Tenant prior to such sale or conveyance, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser, and upon delivery to Tenant of notice thereof, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.
(b) Landlord shall not be in default of any obligation of Landlord hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlords obligations hereunder.
(c) Any liability of Landlord for a default by Landlord under this Lease, or a breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under the Lease, shall be limited solely to its interest in the Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. Tenants sole and exclusive remedy for a default or breach of this Lease by Landlord shall be either (i) an action for damages, or (ii) an action for injunctive relief; Tenant hereby waiving and agreeing that Tenant shall have no offset rights or right to terminate this Lease on account of any breach or default by Landlord under this Lease. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Landlord ever be liable for punitive, consequential or special damages under this Lease and Tenant waives any rights it may have to such damages under this Lease in the event of a breach or default by Landlord under this Lease.
(d) As a condition to the effectiveness of any notice of default given by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall also concurrently give such notice under the provisions of Paragraph 17(b) to each beneficiary under a Security Document encumbering the Project of whom Tenant has received written notice (such notice to specify the address of the beneficiary). In the event Landlord shall fail to cure any breach or default within the time period specified in subparagraph (b), then prior to the pursuit of any remedy therefor by Tenant, each such beneficiary shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default, or if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, then each such beneficiary shall have such additional time as shall be necessary to cure such default, provided that within such thirty (30) day period, such beneficiary has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies available to it which are necessary to cure such default (including, without limitation, as appropriate, commencement of foreclosure proceedings).
18. PARKING; COMMON AREAS
(a) Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the number of non-reserved parking spaces located in the parking areas of the Project specified in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions for the parking of operational motor vehicles used by Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors and visitors only. Landlord reserves the right, at any time upon written notice to Tenant, to designate the location of Tenants parking spaces as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. The use of such spaces shall be subject to the rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time for the use of the parking areas. Landlord further reserves the right to make such changes to the parking system as Landlord may deem necessary or reasonable from time to time (i.e., Landlord may provide for one or a combination of parking systems, including, without limitation, self-parking, single or double stall parking spaces, and valet assisted parking); provided, however, any such changes shall not materially and adversely effect Tenants right to use the number of non-reserved parking spaces located in the parking areas of the Project as set forth above. Tenant agrees that Tenant, its officers and employees shall not be entitled to park in any reserved or specially assigned areas designated by Landlord from time to time in the Projects parking areas. Landlord may require execution of an agreement with respect to the use of such parking areas by Tenant and/or its officers and employees in form satisfactory to Landlord as a condition of any such use by Tenant, its officers and employees. A default by Tenant, its officers or employees in the payment of such charges, the compliance with such rules and regulations, or the performance of such agreement(s) shall constitute a material
H-28
default by Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenants officers, employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described in this Paragraph, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.
(b) Subject to subparagraph (c) below and the remaining provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right, in common with others, to the use of such entrances, lobbies, restrooms, elevators, ramps, drives, stairs, and similar access ways and service ways and other common areas and facilities in and adjacent to the Building and the Project as are designated from time to time by Landlord for the general nonexclusive use of Landlord, Tenant and the other tenants of the Project and their respective employees, agents, representatives, licensees and invitees (Common Areas). The use of such Common Areas shall be subject to the rules and regulations contained herein and the provisions of any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building or the Project. Tenant shall keep all of the Common Areas free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or resulting from Tenants operations, and shall use the Common Areas only for normal activities, parking and ingress and egress by Tenant and its employees, agents, representatives, licensees and invitees to and from the Premises, the Building or the Project. If, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, unauthorized persons are using the Common Areas by reason of the presence of Tenant in the Premises, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall correct such situation by appropriate action or proceedings against all such unauthorized persons. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Landlord at any time to remove any such unauthorized persons from said areas or to prevent the use of any of said areas by unauthorized persons. Landlord reserves the right to make such changes, alterations, additions, deletions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building, the Project (including the Premises) and the Common Areas as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, constructing new buildings and making changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading areas, landscaped areas and walkways; provided, however, that there shall be no unreasonable permanent obstruction of access to or use of the Premises resulting therefrom. In the event that the Project is not completed on the date of execution of this Lease, Landlord shall have the sole judgment and discretion to determine the architecture, design, appearance, construction, workmanship, materials and equipment with respect to construction of the Project. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the Common Areas shall not in any event be deemed to be a portion of or included within the Premises leased to Tenant and the Premises shall not be deemed to be a portion of the Common Areas. This Lease is granted subject to the terms hereof, the rights and interests of third parties under existing liens, ground leases, easements and encumbrances affecting such property, all zoning regulations, rules, ordinances, building restrictions and other laws and regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project or any part thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord specifically reserves the right to redefine the term Project for purposes of allocating and calculating Operating Costs so as to include or exclude areas as Landlord shall from time to time determine or specify (and any such determination or specification shall be without prejudice to Landlords right to revise thereafter such determination or specification). In addition, Landlord shall have the right to contract or otherwise arrange for amenities, services or utilities (the cost of which is included within Operating Costs) to be on a common or shared basis to both the Project (i.e., the area with respect to which Operating Costs are determined) and adjacent areas not included within the Project, so long as the basis on which the cost of such amenities, services or utilities is allocated to the Project is determined on an arms-length basis or some other basis reasonably determined by Landlord. In the case where the definition of the Project is revised for purposes of the allocation or determination of Operating Costs and Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space shall be appropriately revised to equal the percentage share of all Rentable Area contained within the Project (as then defined) represented by the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that in no event shall Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space increase due to Landlord redefining the term Project. Landlord shall have the sole right to determine which portions of the Project and other areas, if any, shall be served by common management, operation, maintenance and repair. Landlord shall also have the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate and prorate any portion or portions of the Operating Costs on a building-by-building basis, on an aggregate basis of all buildings in the Project, or any other reasonable manner, and if allocated on a building-by-building basis, then Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for Office Space shall, as to the portion of the Operating Costs so allocated, be based on the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the Rentable Area of the Building.

19. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Attorneys Fees. In the event of any legal action or proceeding brought by either party against the other arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees and costs (including, without limitation, court costs and expert witness fees) incurred in such action. Such amounts shall be included in any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
(b) Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or of any breach by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof, or of any subsequent breach by Tenant. Landlords consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlords consent or approval under this Lease shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlords consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlords agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, unless in writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The acceptance of any Rent by Landlord following a breach of this Lease by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach unless such waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Landlord.
(c) Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, disapproval or certificate (Notice) required or desired to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and given by certified mail, return receipt requested, by personal delivery or by Federal Express or a similar nationwide overnight delivery service providing a receipt for delivery. Notices may not be given by facsimile. The date of giving any Notice shall be deemed to be the date upon which delivery is actually made by one of the methods described in this Section 19(c) (or attempted if said delivery is refused or rejected). If a Notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, disapprovals, or certificates shall be addressed at the address specified in Item 14 of the Basic Lease Provisions or to such other addresses as may be specified by written notice from Landlord to Tenant and if to Tenant, at the Premises. Either party may change its address by giving reasonable advance written Notice of its new address in accordance with the methods described in this Paragraph; provided, however, no notice of either partys change of address shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after the addressees actual receipt thereof.
(d) Access Control. During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide security personnel, equipment, procedures and systems as shall Landlord shall deem appropriate for a similar class office building in the Denver, Colorado area, or as Landlord is required as set forth in other leases in the Building. While the Project and the Premises may have certain security devices, security systems, security personnel, or security patrol, Tenant shall take all necessary precautions to safeguard its personnel and property, because there is no security system, security device, security personnel, or patrol service available to completely protect Tenants from criminal actions. No assurances, guarantees or representations can be given as to any protection afforded by the use of any security system, security devices, security personnel or patrol service and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not received and is not relying on any assurances, representations, guarantees or warranties, either express or implied, in connection with the use of any security system, security devices, security personnel or patrol service on the property or lack or omission thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any security devices, security systems, security personnel, or patrol services at the Project will not prevent injury, theft, vandalism, or damage to Tenant or its property. IN ALL EVENTS, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT, AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST LANDLORD, FOR (I) ANY UNAUTHORIZED OR CRIMINAL ENTRY OF THIRD PARTIES INTO THE PREMISES, (II) ANY DAMAGE TO PERSONS OCCURRING IN THE PREMISES, OR (III) ANY LOSS OF PROPERTY IN AND ABOUT THE PREMISES, BY OR FROM ANY UNAUTHORIZED OR CRIMINAL ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES, REGARDLESS OF ANY ACTION, INACTION, FAILURE, BREAKDOWN, MALFUNCTION AND/OR INSUFFICIENCY OF THE SECURITY SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDLORD. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to install a security system in the Premises as determined by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion and subject to Landlords reasonable approval. Such Tenant security system shall be coordinated with Landlord and/or other security at the Building.
(e) Storage. Any storage space at any time leased to Tenant hereunder shall be used exclusively for storage. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to
H-30
provide heating, cleaning, water or air conditioning therefor, and (ii) Landlord shall be obligated to provide to such storage space only such electricity as will, in Landlords judgment, be adequate to light said space as storage space.
(f) Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) shall be applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon demand, as Basic Annual Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Basic Annual Rent M effect on the termination date, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over. All other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises.
(g) Condition of Premises. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, LANDLORD HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANTS INTENDED PURPOSE OR USE, WHICH DISCLAIMER IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY TENANT. THE TAKING OF POSSESSION BY TENANT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT TENANT:
(i) ACCEPTS THE PREMISES, THE BUILDING AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS AS SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE PREMISES WERE LEASED;
(ii) ACCEPTS THE PREMISES AND PROJECT AS BEING IN GOOD AND SATISFACTORY CONDITION;
(iii) WAIVES ANY DEFECTS IN THE PREMISES AND ITS APPURTENANCES EXISTING NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, EXCEPT THAT TENANTS TAKING OF POSSESSION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO WAIVE LANDLORDS COMPLETION OF MINOR FINISH WORK ITEMS THAT DO NOT INTERFERE WITH TENANTS OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES; AND
(iv) WAIVES ALL CLAIMS BASED ON ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY OR HABITABILITY.
(h) Quiet Possession. Upon Tenants paying the Rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenants part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the term hereof without hindrance or ejection by any person lawfully claiming under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease and to the provisions of any (i) covenants, conditions and restrictions, (ii) master lease, or (iii) Security Documents to which this Lease is subordinate or may be subordinated.

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Lease and Tenants rights hereunder are subject and subordinate to all matters affecting Landlords title to the Project recorded in the Real Property Records of the County in which the Project is located, prior to and subsequent to the date hereof, including, without limitation, all covenants, conditions and restrictions. Tenant agrees for itself and all persons in possession or holding under it that it will comply with and not violate any such covenants, conditions and restrictions or other matters of record. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications as Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Premises, the Building or the Project, as long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps, and covenants, conditions and restrictions do not materially interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. At Landlords request, Tenant shall join in the execution of any of the aforementioned documents.
(j) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and

Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless for, from and against all claims for any brokerage commissions, finders fees or similar payments by any persons other than those listed in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claims, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
(l) Name.

(o) Defined Terms and Marginal headings. The words Landlord and Tenant as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular and for purposes of Articles 5, 7, 13 and 18, the term Landlord shall include Landlord, its employees, contractors and agents.

The marginal headings and titles to the articles of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
(p) Conflict of Law, Prior Agreements. Severability. This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado.

No prior agreement, understanding or representation pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing corporation, that Tenant has and is qualified to do business in the State, that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of the corporation is authorized to do so. If Tenant is a partnership, trust or limited liability company, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant in accordance with the terms of such entitys partnership, trust or limited liability company agreement.
