3. Term.
     3.1 Commencement Date and Term.
          3.1.1 The parties acknowledge that Tenant shall take possession of the Premises in two phases. This Lease shall commence on the “Phase I Commencement Date” (as herein defined) and shall be for the Initial Term, plus the portion of a calendar month, if any, from the

3


 

Phase I Rent Commencement Date (as defined herein) to the last day of the calendar month in which such Phase I Rent Commencement Date occurs. As used in this Lease, the term “Phase I Commencement Date”, as advanced or postponed pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be defined as the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Tenant takes possession and occupancy of the Phase I Premises to conduct business or (b) five (5) days following that date which is the last on which all of the following events have occurred, namely (i) the Premises are “substantially completed”, as defined in Section 3.2 following, and (ii) Landlord has given Tenant notice that the Phase I Premises are “substantially completed.”
          3.1.2 As used in this Lease, the term “Phase II Commencement Date,” as advanced or postponed pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be defined as the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Tenant takes possession and occupancy of the Phase II Premises to conduct business or (b) five (5) days following that date which is the last on which all of the following events have occurred, namely (i) the Premises are “substantially completed,” as defined in Section 3.2 following, (ii) Landlord has given Tenant notice that the Phase II Premises are “substantially completed,” and (iii) the Phase II Target Date has arrived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Phase II Premises includes the Clean Room (as defined herein) and that Tenant shall be responsible for constructing the Clean Room. For purposes of determining whether the Phase II Premises is “substantially complete,” the status of construction of the Clean Room shall not be taken into account.
          3.1.3 Within fifteen (15) days after request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver the Commencement Date Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E” to memorialize the Phase I Commencement Date and the Phase II Commencement Date.
     3.2 Substantial Completion. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to “substantially complete” the Premises by the Phase I Target Date and the Phase II Target Date, respectively, provided that such dates shall be extended for the number of days that Tenant fails to satisfy its obligations under Section 35. “Substantially complete” means that: (i) the construction of the improvements described in Section 35 has been completed so that Tenant can use the Phase I Premises or Phase II Premises, as applicable, for its intended purposes without material interference to Tenant conducting its ordinary business activities, (ii) the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises, as applicable, have been approved for occupancy by governmental authorities having jurisdiction and a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued for the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises, as applicable, (iii) Tenant has ready access to the Building and the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises, as applicable, through the lobby, hallways and elevators, (iv) the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises, as applicable, are ready for installation of any equipment, furniture, fixtures or decoration that Tenant will install, and (v) the Phase I Premises tenant finish work or the Phase II Premises tenant finish work, as applicable, has been installed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. Landlord shall keep Tenant advised as to its progress with regard to “substantially completing” the Phase I Premises by the Phase I Target Date and with regard to “substantially completing” the Phase II Premises by the Phase II Target Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of subsection (ii) shall be deemed satisfied if all of the other subsections have been satisfied and the government approval is delayed as a result of the installation of furniture, fixtures or equipment which is not included and is a part of Tenant’s responsibilities under Section 35 below. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if substantial completion has not occurred for the Phase I Premises on or before the date that is 165 days following the Effective Date (the “Required Phase I Delivery Date”), and such delay is not a result of a Tenant Caused Delay (as defined herein) or for any reason listed in Section 27 of this Lease, then Tenant will receive a day for day rent credit following the Phase I Commencement Date for each day that the Phase I Commencement Date is delayed beyond the Required Phase I Delivery Date. For example, if the Required Phase I Delivery Date is June 15, 2007, and the Phase I Commencement Date occurs on July 20, 2007, then Tenant will receive a 35 day rent credit following the Phase I Rent Commencement Date.
     3.3 Option to Extend Lease Term. Provided Tenant is not in default of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease beyond all applicable cure periods, Tenant shall have the

4


 

option to extend the Initial Term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (the “First Renewal Term”, the “Second Renewal Term” or collectively the “Renewal Terms”) to commence immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Term or the First Renewal Term, as applicable.
     Tenant’s rental of the Premises during the First Renewal Term and Second Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent ninety-five percent (95%) of the “Prevailing Market Rate” for the Premises for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as applicable, as hereinafter defined (including annual adjustments). For purposes of this Section 3.3, the term “Prevailing Market Rate” shall mean the then prevailing market rate being charged for comparable space in comparable office buildings within a ten (10) mile radius of the Premises, with consideration given for the size of the Premises, the economic strength of the tenant, construction allowances, commissions, free rent, and other concessions or premiums. In order to exercise its option granted herein, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intent to renew not less than two hundred seventy (270) days but not more than five hundred forty (540) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the First Renewal Term, as applicable. Within thirty (30) days following the exercise by Tenant of its option to extend the Lease for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as applicable, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its determination of the Prevailing Market Rate for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as applicable, as reasonably determined by Landlord (“Landlord’s Notice”). Within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s acceptance or rejection of such rate. If Tenant shall accept such Prevailing Market Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease acknowledging such renewal and setting forth any terms at variance with the terms of this Lease. If within the ten (10) day period, Tenant shall reject such Prevailing Market Rate as determined by Landlord for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as applicable, then within twenty (20) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place and shall use their reasonable efforts to agree upon the Prevailing Market Rate. If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon such Prevailing Market Rate within the twenty (20) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an independent commercial leasing broker licensed in the Colorado area within the next ten (10) days (the “Brokers”). Such Brokers shall deliver their respective estimates of the Prevailing Market Rate within ten (10) days after being appointed. If the estimates of the Prevailing Market Rate as quoted by the Brokers are within ten percent (10%) of each other, the Prevailing Market Rate shall be deemed to be the average of the estimates presented by the Brokers. If the estimates of the Prevailing Market Rate as quoted by the Brokers differ by more than ten percent (10%), then Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint a third independent commercial leasing broker licensed in the Colorado area within ten (10) days after the receipt of the initial brokers’ estimates (the “Third Broker”) who shall deliver its estimate of the Prevailing Market Rate within ten (10) days after being appointed and such estimate shall be deemed to be the Prevailing Market Rate. Tenant shall notify Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of the estimate of the Prevailing Market Rate (whether as resulting from the average of the Brokers or from the Third Broker, as applicable), whether Tenant shall accept such Prevailing Market Rate, whereupon Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease acknowledging such renewal and setting forth any terms at variance with the terms of this Lease. If (i) Tenant shall fail to respond to Landlord’s Notice as provided above, (ii) Tenant shall fail to deliver the requisite notice exercising its option to extend by the date prescribed above, (iii) Tenant does not respond within ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord’s Notice or (iv) Tenant does not accept the Prevailing Market Rate within ten (10) days following Landlord’s notification of the Prevailing Market Rate, as determined either by the average of the Brokers or from the Third Broker, as applicable, then Tenant’s option to extend this Lease for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall be void and inoperable. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the broker designated by them originally and shall split the fees of the Third Broker.
     3.4 Definition of “Term”. As used herein, the word “Term” shall refer to the Initial Term and the Renewal Term, if applicable.
4. Advance Rent. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Advance Rent to be held as advance rent and security and which Landlord shall be entitled to retain,

5


 

without limitation of other remedies, for any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease occurring prior to the commencement of the Term. If no such Event of Default occurs, the Advance Rent shall be applied by Landlord against first installments of Annual Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder.
5. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises during the Term of this Lease solely for general office purposes, light manufacturing, and research and development activities in accordance with applicable zoning regulations and for no other purposes, without Landlord’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Lease, the term “general office use” shall not include use as a school, college, university or educational institution of any type, use for any purpose which is not consistent with the operation of the Building as a first-class office building, or use as an recruitment or temporary help service or agency. Tenant acknowledges that violation of the allowable uses shall be a material breach of this Lease.
6 Rent.
     6.1 Annual Base Rent. As rent for the Premises during each year of the Term, except as otherwise set forth in Section 56 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an Annual Base Rent, in equal monthly installments, in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, and without deduction, setoff or demand in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 1.1.11 above.
          6.1.1 Base Rent for Phase I Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Paragraph 3.2 above, the first installment of Base Rent for the Phase I Premises shall be due on the one hundred fifty-first (151st) day following the Phase I Commencement Date (the “Phase I Rent Commencement Date”). If the Phase I Rent Commencement Date should occur on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon the Phase I Rent Commencement Date, a sum equaling that percentage of the monthly rent installment which equals the percentage of such calendar month from and after the Phase I Rent Commencement Date through the end of such calendar month.
          6.1.2 Base Rent for Phase II Premises. The parties acknowledge that Tenant’s payments of Base Rent shall be phased in for the Phase II Premises. During the period between the Phase II Commencement Date and the Phase II Full Rent Commencement Date (as defined herein), Tenant’s Monthly Installment of Annual Base Rent shall be reduced by that portion of the Annual Base Rent attributable to that portion of the Phase II Premises that shall be designated as the “Clean Room,” up to a maximum of 13,000 rentable square feet. At the time of completion of the Clean Room, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease to memorialize the square footage of the Clean Room and to set forth the reduction in Tenant’s Monthly Installment of Annual Base Rent for that period. On the ninety-first (91st) day following the Phase II Commencement Date (the “Phase II Full Rent Commencement Date”), Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the entire Phase II Premises.
     6.2 Definitions For the purposes hereof, the following definitions shall apply:
          6.2.1 “Property” shall mean the Building, the land upon which same is situated and all fixtures and equipment thereon or therein, all commonly owned or shared appurtenances, including but not limited to, parking areas, walkways, landscaping and utilities, whether located on the land upon which the Building is situated or elsewhere.

If at any time during the Term the method of taxation prevailing at the commencement of the Term shall be altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the items listed in the first sentence of this subparagraph to be levied, assessed or imposed, wholly or partly as a capital levy, or otherwise, on the rents received from the Building, wholly or partly in lieu of imposition of or in addition to the increase of taxes in the nature of real estate taxes issued against the Property, then the charge to Landlord resulting from such altered additional method of taxation shall be deemed to be within the definition of “Taxes.”
          6.2.4 “Common Areas” shall mean those areas and facilities which may be from time to time furnished to the Building by Landlord for the non-exclusive general common use of tenants and other occupants of the Building, their officers, employees, and invitees, including (without limitation) the hallways, stairs, parking facilities, washrooms, and elevators.
          6.2.5 “Lease Year” shall mean the period commencing on the Phase I Commencement Date and ending the last day of the twelfth (12th) month after the Phase I Rent Commencement Date and each succeeding twelve (12) month period thereafter up to the end of the Term; provided, however, that if the Phase I Rent Commencement Date shall occur on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall include that portion of a calendar month in which the Phase I Rent Commencement Date occurs in addition to the first twelve (12) month period.
          6.2.6 “Operating Year” shall mean each calendar year or part thereof occurring during the Term.

     6.3 Rent Adjustments for Taxes. Tenant further agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes for any calendar year or any part thereof occurring during the Term. Such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill from Landlord, accompanied with a copy of the tax bill and Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. Prior to the commencement of each Operating Year, Landlord may, at its option, furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the amount of Taxes for such Operating Year. Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of Landlord’s estimated Taxes in equal monthly installments, in advance, as additional rent together with Base Rent. At the expiration of each Operating Year, Landlord shall certify to Tenant the actual Taxes for such Operating Year and within thirty (30) days after receipt of certification, Tenant shall, pay, as Additional Rent, the deficiency, if any, in Taxes payable by Tenant for such Operating Year (the “Annual Tax Statement”). If at the end of such Operating Year, the total amount paid by Tenant as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes is greater than the amount required to be paid for such Operating Year, then, if Tenant is not in default hereunder (after the giving of any required notices and the expiration of any cure periods), the amount of such excess payment will be applied by Landlord to the next succeeding monthly installment of Base Rent due hereunder. If there are any such excess payments made during the final Operating Year, then, if Tenant is not in default hereunder (after the giving of any required notices and the expiration of any cure periods), the amount of such excess will be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such certification. Supplementing the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, if Tenant is in default, then Landlord agrees to credit such excess payments against any Base Rent, additional rent and/or other amounts due from Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the parties acknowledge and agree that during the period between the Phase I Commencement Date and the Phase I Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the Phase I Premises and shall continue to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the Phase I Premises only until the Phase II Commencement Date. As of the Phase II Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the entire Premises.
     All reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord (including attorneys’, appraisers’ and consultants’ fees, and other costs) in contesting any increase in Taxes or any increase in the assessment of the Property shall be included as an item of Taxes for the purpose of computing additional rent due hereunder. If Tenant wants to contest any increase in Taxes, Tenant shall send Landlord written notice requesting that Landlord file a contest, which notice shall include copies of all necessary documentation supporting Tenant’s position that such an appeal is reasonable, and Landlord, in good faith, shall review such documentation and decide whether to proceed with such a contest.
     6.4 Rent Adjustments for Building Expenses. Prior to the commencement of each Operating Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the amount of Building Expenses for such Operating Year. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s estimated Building Expenses in equal monthly installments, in advance, as additional rent together with Base Rent. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after expiration of each Operating Year, Landlord shall certify to Tenant the actual Building Expenses for such Operating Year (the “Annual Building Expense Statement,” together with the Annual Tax Statement, the “Annual Statements”), and within thirty (30) days after receipt of such certification, Tenant shall pay as additional rent, the deficiency if any, in charges payable by Tenant for such Operating Year. If, at the end of such Operating Year, the total amount paid by Tenant as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such charges is greater than the amount required to be paid for such Operating Year, then, if Tenant is not in default hereunder (after the giving of any required notices and the expiration of any cure periods), the amount of such excess payment shall be applied by Landlord to the next succeeding monthly installment of Base Rent due hereunder. If there are any such excess payments made during the final Operating Year, then, if Tenant is not in default hereunder (after the giving of any required notices and the expiration of any cure periods), the amount of such excess will be refunded to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days after such certification. Supplementing the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, if Tenant is in default then Landlord agrees to credit such excess payments against any Base Rent, additional rent and/or other amounts due from Tenant. In the event the Commencement Date shall be a day other than January 1, or the date fixed for the expiration of the full Term hereof shall be a day other than December 31, then, in either such

9


 

event, in applying the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any Operating Year in which such event occurred, appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect the result of such event, taking into consideration the portion of such Operating Year which should have elapsed prior to the Commencement Date or after the date of such expiration. Tenant’s right to receive the excess payments shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that with regard to certain Building Expenses, some tenants may be paying various fees directly to the service provider (including, without limitation, janitorial services and electricity charges), in which event the computation of Building Expenses per rentable square foot for such items shall be determined by using the total rentable square footage of the Building reduced by the rentable square footage of the tenants who are paying such fees directly to the service provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the parties acknowledge and agree that during the period between the Phase I Commencement Date and the Phase I Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Building Expenses for the Phase I Premises and shall continue to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Building for the Phase I Premises only until the Phase II Commencement Date. As of the Phase II Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Building Expenses for the entire Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the first three (3) Lease Years, Tenant shall not be responsible for any Building Expenses related to a Major Repair (as defined herein) of any of the following: boilers, chillers, air make up units, HVAC infrastructure, parking lot resurfacing, roof and elevator. For purposes of this Section 6.4.2, “Major Repair” shall constitute any individual repair, the cost of which exceeds Two Thousand Five Hundred and no/Dollars ($2500.00). As of the commencement of the fourth Lease Year and for the remainder of the Term, Landlord shall be entitled to pass through Building Expenses for a Major Repair performed at any time after the commencement of the fourth Lease Year, provided that such Major Repair is amortized in accordance with GAAP over its useful life, and the Building Expenses shall only include that portion of the useful life that falls within the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, a “Major Repair” shall not include routine maintenance of the boilers, chillers, air make up units, HVAC infrastructure, parking lot resurfacing, roof and elevator, regardless of whether the cost for such maintenance exceeds $2500, and Landlord shall be entitled to pass through the cost of such maintenance in Building Expenses at any time during the Term.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6, to the extent any of the Building Expenses are within Landlord’s reasonable control (the “Controllable Expenses”), the actual Controllable Expenses incurred by Landlord shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) of the previous calendar year’s Controllable Expenses on a cumulative basis. The parties agree and acknowledge that the following are non-controllable Building Expenses and shall not be subject to the foregoing cap: Taxes, insurance, utilities, snow removal and security expenses (the “Non-Controllable Expenses”). The parties acknowledge that for purposes of this Section 6.4.2, the Building Expenses shall be computed separately as between the Controllable Expenses and the Non-Controllable Expenses. The annual statement provided to Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.4.2 shall include computation for both the Controllable Expenses and the Non-Controllable Expenses as well as a combined total thereof reflecting Tenant’s overpayment or underpayment for the applicable calendar year.
     6.5 Right to Audit. If Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Annual Statements, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of the Annual Statements, to cause Landlord’s books and records in respect to the calendar year which is the subject of the Annual Statement to be audited by a nationally or regionally recognized independent certified public accountant or other certified public accountant mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. The audit shall take place at the offices of Landlord where its books and records are located at a mutually convenient time during Landlord’s regular business hours. Tenant shall have no right to conduct an audit or to give Landlord notice that it desires to conduct an audit at any time that there is an uncured Event of Default under the Lease. The accountant conducting the audit shall be compensated by Tenant on an hourly or flat fee basis and shall not in any manner be compensated based upon a percentage of overcharges it discovers or on any other contingency fee basis. No subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit, and no assignee shall conduct an audit for any period during which such assignee was not the tenant under the Lease. Tenant’s right to undertake an audit with respect to any calendar year shall expire one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s

10


 

receipt of the Annual Statement for such Operating Year, and such Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct, at the end of such 120-day period, unless prior thereto Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of its intention to audit operating costs for the calendar year which is the subject of the Annual Statement. If Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its intention to audit Building Expenses, Tenant must commence such audit within thirty (30) days after such notice is delivered to Landlord, and the audit must be completed within ninety (90) days after such notice is delivered to Landlord. If Tenant does not commence and complete the audit within such periods, the Annual Statement that Tenant elected to audit shall be deemed final and binding upon Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct. Tenant agrees that the results of any audit shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity (other than Tenant’s accountants, attorneys and advisors) except as required by law. The time frames hereunder shall be extended for Landlord delays and force majeure delays. Any overpayments of Building Expenses or Taxes by Tenant shall be credited or refunded as provided herein, and any underpayments shall be paid to Landlord. if Tenant’s audit hereunder shows that the Building Expenses or Taxes so reviewed were overstated by Landlord by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in such audit; provided that the amount of such reimbursement shall be based on a reasonable hourly rate and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and not on any contingent fee. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
     6.6 Additional Rent Payments. Tenant’s obligation to pay any additional rent accruing during the Term pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 hereof shall apply pro rata to the proportionate part of a calendar year as to Taxes and Building Expenses, in which this Lease begins or ends, for the portion of each such year during which this Lease is in effect. Such obligation to make payments of such additional rent shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term.
     6.7 Payments. All payments or installments of any rent hereunder and all sums whatsoever due under this Lease (including but not limited to court costs and attorneys’ fees) shall be deemed rent and shall be paid to Landlord at the address designated by Landlord. If any amount of Annual Base Rent or additional rent shall remain unpaid for ten (10) calendar days after such payment becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without notice or demand, a late charge equal to the greater of (i) $50 or (ii) five percent (5%) of such overdue amount to partially compensate Landlord for its administrative costs in connection with such overdue payment; which administrative costs Tenant expressly acknowledges are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. In addition, such overdue amounts shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (but not more than the maximum allowable legal rate applicable to Tenant) (the “Default Rate”) until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall waive such late charge and interest with respect to the first two (2) late payments in any twelve (12) month period, provided Tenant makes the applicable payment within five (5) business days after written notice to Tenant. Additionally, if any of Tenant’s checks for payment of rent or additional rent are returned to Landlord for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the greater of (i) $50.00 or (ii) the amount of actual charges incurred by Landlord, for each such check returned for insufficient funds, and if two or more of Tenant’s checks in payment of rent or additional rent due hereunder are returned for insufficient funds in any calendar year, Landlord reserves the right upon ten (10) days advance notice to Tenant to thereafter require Tenant to pay all rent and additional rent and other sums whatsoever due under this Lease in cash, by money order or by certified check or cashier’s check If an attorney is employed to enforce Landlord’s rights under this Lease, Tenant shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such attorney whether or not legal proceedings are instituted by Landlord. Time is of the essence in this Lease.
7. Requirements of Applicable Law. Landlord warrants that on the Commencement Date, the Premises shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property (“Applicable Laws”). Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall thereafter comply promptly with all Applicable Laws now in force or which may hereafter be in force, which relate solely to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises that do not relate to office buildings generally; provided,

11


 

however, that Landlord and not Tenant shall correct all structural defects in the Building necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, and make all repairs, changes or alterations necessary because the Building was not constructed in compliance with any of the Applicable Laws.
8. Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of any certificate of occupancy, permit, or other governmental consent issued for the Building. If any governmental authority, after the commencement of the Term, shall contend or declare that the Premises is being used for a purpose which is in violation of such certificate of occupancy, permit, or consent, then Tenant shall, upon ten (10) days’ notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue such use of the Premises. If thereafter the governmental authority asserting such violation threatens, commences or continues criminal or civil proceedings against Landlord for Tenant’s failure to discontinue such use, in additional to any and all rights, privileges and remedies given to Landlord under this Lease for an Event of Default by Tenant herein, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease forthwith. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and the Property harmless of and from any and all liability for any such violation or violations by Tenant.
9. Contest-Statute, Ordinance. Tenant may, after notice to Landlord, by appropriate proceedings conducted promptly at Tenant’s own expense in Tenant’s name and whenever necessary in Landlord’s name, contest in good faith the validity or enforcement of any such statute, ordinance, law, order, regulation or requirement and may similarly contest any assertion of violation of any certificate of occupancy, permit, or any consent issued for the Building. Tenant may, pending such contest, defer compliance therewith if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for Landlord, such deferral shall not subject either Landlord or the Premises or the Property (or any part thereof) to any penalty, fine or forfeiture, and if Tenant shall post a bond with corporate surety approved by Landlord sufficient, in Landlord’s opinion, fully to indemnify Landlord from loss.
10. Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant, at its option, may make such non-structural improvements to the Premises as it may deem necessary from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, without Landlord’s consent (but subject to all other obligations set forth in this Section 10) and costing less than $25,000 in the aggregate. Tenant shall not make any alterations, installations, additions or improvements to the Premises in excess of $50,000 or affecting the structural components of the Building, including but not limited to, the installation of any fixtures, amenities, equipment, appliances, or other apparatus, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and then only be contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such work, alterations, installations, additions or improvements shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense, and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time designate, if at any point during the Term, Tenant is not the sole occupant of the Building. Landlord’s consent to and/or approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for the aforesaid improvements shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. Tenant shall promptly pay for the costs associated with any such alterations or additions, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and the Property from and against any and all liens, costs, damages and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including any reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord, if Landlord shall be joined in any action or proceeding involving such improvements. Landlord may, at its option, pay sums due in order to release such liens, in which event any such sums paid by Landlord shall be due to Landlord by Tenant, as Additional Rent, upon demand. Under no circumstances shall Tenant commence any such work until Landlord has been provided with certificates evidencing that all the contractors and subcontractors performing such work have in full force and effect adequate workmen’s compensation insurance as required by the laws of the State of Colorado, public liability and builders risk insurance in such amounts and according to terms reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall at all times have the right to post or keep posted on the Premises, or in the immediate vicinity thereof, any notices of non-responsibility for any construction, alteration or repair of the Premises by Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees to give Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior notice of Tenant’s plans to commence such work so as to enable Landlord an opportunity to post such notices. All

12


 

alterations, installations, additions or improvements made by either of the parties hereto upon the Premises, except movable office furniture and any trade fixtures of Tenant as set forth on Exhibit “G” attached hereto and made a part hereof (all of which will be removed by Tenant at the expiration of the Lease Term) put in at the expense of Tenant or Landlord and other items as mutually agreed upon in writing, shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the termination of this Lease without molestation or injury. Upon request by Landlord, such request to be made at the time Tenant requests consent for the applicable improvement under this Section 10, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall remove any and all special improvements to the Premises or Common Areas made by or on behalf of Tenant, including, without limitation, supplemental HVAC and raised flooring. If Tenant fails to remove any such items, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove and dispose of such items, and restore the Premises accordingly and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs of such removal, disposal and restoration within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefore, together with interest at the Default Rate, which shall accrue from the date the costs were incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to withdraw a request to remove improvements and to request that such improvements remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises.
11. Repairs and Maintenance.
     11.1 Tenant’s Care of the Premises and Building. During the Term, Tenant shall:
          (i) keep the interior of the Premises and the fixtures, appurtenances and improvements therein in good order and condition, including, without limitation, the maintenance, repairs and replacements of any systems and/or equipment that solely serve the Clean Room, including, without limitation, all HVAC filters, pumping and electric systems located in or attached to the Clean Room, or to the extent such systems and/or equipment serve both the Premises and the Clean Room and would ordinarily be Landlord’s responsibility hereunder, Tenant’s obligations shall only apply to those portions of the systems and/or equipment that are wholly-contained in the Clean Room; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be responsible for maintaining those items of equipment for which Landlord has agreed to maintain, as more particularly listed on Exhibit “H” attached hereto and made a part hereof . Tenant shall engage its own custodial and janitorial service to perform, at a minimum, the services set forth on Exhibit “I” attached hereto and made a part hereof. If Landlord determines that Tenant is not providing adequate custodial or janitorial services to the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant 30 days’ prior written notice and opportunity to cure (or a shorter cure period if Landlord reasonably determines that a shorter time period is warranted to protect the Building and the Property), and thereafter Landlord shall have the right to engage its own contractors and Tenant shall pay for such costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall deposit its trash in a dumpster in the Common Areas to be provided by Landlord and the costs to maintain such dumpster and to remove the trash from the dumpster shall be included within the computation of Building Expenses;
          (ii) make repairs and replacements to the Premises required because of Tenant’s misuse or primary negligence, except to the extent that the repairs or replacements are covered by Landlord’s insurance as required hereunder;
          (iii) repair and replace special equipment or decorative treatments installed by or at Tenant’s request and that serve the Premises only, except to the extent the repairs or replacements are needed because of Landlord’s misuse or primary negligence, and are not covered by Tenant’s insurance as required hereunder;
          (iv) pay for all damage to the Property, the Building and the Common Areas, and their respective fixtures and appurtenances, as well as all damages sustained by Tenant or occupants of the Building due to any waste, misuse or neglect of the Premises, its fixtures and appurtenances by Tenant, except to the extent that the repair of such damage is covered by Landlord’s insurance as required hereunder to the extent that Landlord actually receives proceeds therefrom; and
          (v) not commit waste.

13


 

     In addition Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which such floor was designed to carry and which may be allowed under Applicable Laws. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all heavy equipment brought onto the Premises and reasonably prescribe any reinforcing required under the circumstances, all such reinforcing to be at Tenant’s expense.
     11.2 Landlord’s Repairs. Except for the repairs and replacements that Tenant is required to make pursuant to Section 11.1 above and/or pursuant to Exhibit “J” attached hereto and made a part hereof, Landlord shall make all other repairs, maintenance and replacements to the Premises, Common Areas and Building (including Building fixtures and equipment and including without limitation (a) sidewalks, driveways, lighting, gardening, landscaping, elevators, service areas, curbs, glass and parking; the exterior and to the structure of the Building, including, but not limited to, the roof (including water tightness of the Building and the Premises), walls (including caulking), floors, all Building systems, including without limitation all plumbing, electrical, lighting and mechanical equipment, fixtures and systems serving the Premises, the Common Area and the Building, and foundations and landscape maintenance, and the Building equipment; (b) which are required because of damage or destruction by fire or other peril covered by the all risk insurance policies, or by reason of acts of God applicable to the Premises and the Building; (c) which require a capital expenditure; (d) which are required because of faulty construction or latent defect; (e) which are required in order to comply with any and all federal, state or local law(s) and regulation(s) now in effect or which may hereafter be in effect relating to the Premises, the Building, the property and to any systems, facilities, equipment, components, structures or services therein) as shall be reasonably deemed necessary to maintain the Building in a condition comparable to other first class office buildings in the Colorado Springs North I-25 corridor and (f) which are expressly set forth on Exhibit “H”.         . This maintenance shall include the roof, foundation, exterior walls, interior structural walls, all structural components, and all systems such as mechanical, electrical, multi-tenant HVAC (if applicable), and plumbing. The costs associated with such repairs shall be deemed a part of Building Expenses; provided, however, that costs of all of such repairs which would be considered capital in nature under generally accepted accounting principles shall be paid by Landlord as a portion of Building Expenses and amortized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as described in Section 6.2.2.12 above. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no abatement of rent, and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making any repairs or performing maintenance as provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall maintain, repair and/or replace the HVAC system as necessary, and shall pass through the costs of such maintenance or repair to Tenant as additional rent hereunder. Provided that the replacement of the HVAC system is not caused by Tenant’s misuse hereunder, Landlord shall not pass through the costs of any replacement of the HVAC system.
     If Landlord fails to make the repairs required under this Section 11.2, and such failure is not the result of any reason listed in Section 27 herein or the result of any action or inaction on Tenant’s part, and as a result thereof, Tenant shall be not able to use all or any portion of the Premises and does not in fact use all or any portion of the Premises for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days or more after notice thereof to Landlord then, except as provided herein with respect to casualty, Tenant shall be entitled to abate Base Rent and additional rent, such abatement commencing as of the eleventh (11th) business day after Tenant ceased using all or such portion of the Premises and shall continue to be abated until such time as the applicable repair has been completed.
     11.3 Time for Repairs. Repairs or replacements required pursuant to Section 11.1 and 11.2 above shall be made within a reasonable time (depending on the nature of the repair or replacement needed — generally no more than fifteen (15) days) after receiving notice or having actual knowledge of the need for a repair or replacement.
     11.4 Surrender of the Premises. Upon the termination of this Lease, without the need for prior notice from Landlord, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same broom clean condition that the Premises were in on the Commencement Date except for:

14


 

          (i) ordinary wear and tear;
          (ii) damage by the elements, fire, and other casualty unless Tenant would be required to repair under the provisions of this Lease;
          (iii) damage arising from any cause not required to be repaired or replaced by Tenant; and
          (iv) alterations as permitted by this Lease unless consent was conditioned on their removal.
     On surrender Tenant shall remove from the Premises its personal property, trade fixtures and any alterations required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by this removal. Any items not removed by Tenant as required above shall be considered abandoned. Landlord may dispose of abandoned items as Landlord chooses and bill Tenant for the cost of their disposal.
12. Conduct on Premises. Tenant shall not do, or permit anything to be done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein which shall, in any way, increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building, or invalidate or conflict with the fire insurance policies on the Building, fixtures or on property kept therein, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or of other tenants, or in any other way injure or annoy Landlord or the other tenants, or subject Landlord to any liability for injury to persons or damage to property, or interfere with the good order of the Building, or conflict with Applicable Laws. Tenant agrees that any increase of fire insurance premiums on the Building or contents caused by the occupancy of Tenant and any expense or cost incurred in consequence of negligence or carelessness or the willful action of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, servants, or invitees shall, as they accrue be added to the rent heretofore reserved and be paid as a part thereof; and Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies for the collection of same as are conferred upon Landlord for the collection of rent provided to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
13. Insurance.
     13.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall keep in force at its own expense, so long as this Lease remains in effect, (a) commercial general liability insurance, including insurance against assumed or contractual liability under this Lease, with respect to the Premises, to afford protection with limits, per person and for each occurrence, of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), combined single limit, with respect to bodily injury and death and property damage, such insurance to provide for only a reasonable deductible, (b) all-risk property and casualty insurance, including theft, written at replacement cost value and with replacement cost endorsement, covering all of Tenant’s personal property in the Premises and all improvements and installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant whether pursuant to the terms of Section 35, Section 10, or otherwise, such insurance to provide for only a reasonable deductible, (c) if, and to the extent, required by law, workmen’s compensation or similar insurance offering statutory coverage and containing statutory limits, (d) shall insure all plate and other interior glass in the Premises for and in the name of Landlord, (e) business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to reimburse Tenant for loss of earnings attributable to prevention of access to the Building or the Premises for a period of at least twelve (12) months and (f) pollution coverage insurance of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). Such policies shall be maintained in companies and in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with, or in excess of, any coverage which Landlord shall carry. Tenant shall deposit the policy or policies of such required insurance or certificates thereof with Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, which policies shall name Landlord or its designee and, at the request of Landlord, its mortgagees, as additional insured and shall also contain a provision stating that such policy or policies shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord or its designees. All such policies of insurance shall be effective as of the date Tenant occupies the Premises and shall be maintained in force at all times during the Term of this Lease and all other times during which Tenant shall occupy the Premises. In addition to the foregoing insurance coverage, Tenant shall require any contractor

15


 

retained by it to perform work on the Premises to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, during such times as contractor is working in the Premises, a non-deductible (i) comprehensive general liability insurance policy, including, but not limited to, contractor’s liability coverage, contractual liability coverage, completed operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement and contractor’s protective liability coverage, to afford protection with limits per person and for each occurrence, of not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), combined single limit, with respect to personal injury and death and property damage, such insurance to provide for no deductible, and (ii) workmen’s compensation insurance or similar insurance in form and amounts as required by law. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Premises and the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 18 herein, Tenant agrees that it shall pay Landlord all of its insurance proceeds relating to improvements made in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant whether pursuant to the terms of Section 35, Section 10, or otherwise. If Tenant fails to comply with its covenants made in this Section, if such insurance would terminate or if Landlord has reason to believe such insurance is about to be terminated, Landlord may at its option cause such insurance as it in its sole judgment deems necessary to be issued, and in such event Tenant agrees to pay promptly upon Landlord’s demand, as additional rent the premiums for such insurance.
     13.2 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall keep in force at its own expense (a) contractual and comprehensive general liability insurance, including commercial general liability and property damage, with a minimum combined single limit of liability of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for bodily injuries or death of persons occurring in or about the Building and Premises, and (b) all-risk property and casualty insurance written at replacement cost value covering the Building and all of Landlord’s improvements in and about same.
     13.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereto waives claims arising in any manner in its favor and against the other party and agrees that neither party hereto shall be liable to the other party or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage to the Building, the Premises or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under worker’s compensation laws and benefits, or against liability on or about the Building, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees if any such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage as was required to be covered by insurance carried pursuant to this Lease. Landlord shall cause each insurance policy carried by it insuring against liability on or about the Building or insuring the Premises and the Building or income resulting therefrom against loss by fire or any of the casualties covered by the all-risk insurance carried by it hereunder to be written in such a manner as to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Tenant in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policies. Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by it insuring against liability or insuring the Premises (including the contents thereof and Tenant’s Improvements installed therein by Tenant or on its behalf) against loss by fire or any of the casualties covered by the all-risk insurance required hereunder to be written in such a manner as to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policies.
14. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall be bound by the rules and regulations set forth on the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part hereof. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to issue additional or amended rules and regulations regarding the use of the Building, so long as the rules shall be reasonable and non-discriminatory between tenants. When so issued the same shall be considered a part of this Lease and Tenant covenants that the additional or amended rules and regulations shall likewise be faithfully observed by Tenant, the employees of Tenant and all persons invited by Tenant into the Building, provided, that the additional or amended rules are made applicable to all office tenants similarly situated as Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the violation of any of the rules and regulations, or the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease, by any other tenant in the Building.
15. Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant shall not do or suffer to be done any act, matter or thing whereby Tenant’s interest in the Premises, or any part thereof, may be encumbered by any mechanics’ lien. Tenant shall discharge, or bond off, within twenty (20) days after the date of filing, any mechanics’ liens filed against Tenant’s interest in the Premises, or any part thereof,

16


 

purporting to be for labor or material furnished or to be furnished to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and no mechanics’ or other lien for labor or materials shall attach to or affect the reversionary or other estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises, or the Property.
16. Tenant’s Failure to Repair. In the event that Tenant fails after reasonable prior notice from Landlord, which will be no less than 30 days’ written notice unless such condition and/or repair, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, should be performed in a shorter period of time, to keep the Premises or commence to keep the Premises in a good state of condition and repair pursuant to Section 11 above, or to do any act or make any payment required under this Lease or otherwise fails to comply herewith, Landlord may, at its option (but without being obliged to do so) immediately, or at any time thereafter and without additional notice, perform the same for the account of Tenant, including the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable hours to make such repairs, or do any act or make any payment or compliance which Tenant has failed to do, and upon ten (10) days’ written demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such expense incurred by Landlord including but not limited to any costs, damages and counsel fees. Any moneys expended by Landlord, as aforesaid, shall be deemed additional rent, collectible as such by Landlord. All rights given to Landlord in this Section shall be in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord herein contained.
17. Property — Loss, Damage. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant for (i) any damage or loss of property of Tenant placed in the custody of persons employed to provide services for or stored in or about the Premises and/or the Building, unless such damage or loss is the result of the negligence of Landlord, (ii) any injury or damage to persons, property or the business of Tenant resulting from a latent defect in or material change in the condition of the Building to the extent such change was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and (ii) interference with the light, air, or other incorporeal hereditaments of the Premises.
18. Destruction — Fire or Other Casualty. In case of partial damage to the Premises by fire or other casualty insured against by Landlord, Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Landlord, who shall thereupon cause damage to all property owned by it to be repaired with reasonable speed at expense of Landlord, to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord, due allowance being made for reasonable delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, and for reasonable delay on account of “labor troubles” or any other cause beyond Landlord’s control, and to the extent that the Premises are rendered untenantable the rent shall proportionately abate from the date of such casualty, provided the damage above mentioned occurred without the fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant’s servants, employees, agents or invitees. If such partial damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant’s servants, employees, agents or invitees, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord to the extent of Landlord’s insurance coverage, but there shall be no apportionment or abatement of rent. In the event the damage shall be so extensive to the whole Building as to render it uneconomical, in Landlord’s opinion, to restore for its present uses and Landlord shall decide not to repair or rebuild the Building, this Lease, at the option of Landlord, shall be terminated upon notice to Tenant and the rent shall, in such event, be paid to or adjusted as of the date of such damage, and the terms of this Lease shall expire by lapse of time and conditional limitation upon the third day after such notice is mailed, and Tenant shall thereupon vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, but no such termination shall release Tenant from any liability to Landlord arising from such damage or from any breach of the obligations imposed on Tenant hereunder, or from any obligations accrued hereunder prior to such termination.
     In addition, in the event that (a) Landlord estimates that its repairs will take more than two hundred seventy (270) days for any areas of the Premises, or (b) Tenant is actually deprived of the use of all or any substantial portion of the Premises for a period in excess of two hundred seventy (270) days for any areas of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to Landlord to terminate the Lease as of the date of the casualty, provided that Tenant gives its within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the estimated time to complete the restoration or repair in the case of subparagraph (a) above, or within thirty (30) days after failing to meet the deadline set forth in subparagraph (b) above.

17


 

19. Eminent Domain. If (1) the whole or more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, and either party shall elect, by giving notice to the other, or (2) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Building shall be so taken, and Landlord shall elect, in its sole discretion, by giving notice to Tenant, any notice to be given not more than sixty (60) days after the date on which title shall vest in such condemnation proceeding, to terminate this Lease, then, in either such event, the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting. In case of any taking or condemnation, whether or not the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate, the entire award shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to any such award, except that Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the proceedings such awards as may be allowed for Tenant’s trade fixtures, , moving expenses, loss of profit and fixtures and other alterations and equipment installed by it which shall not, under the terms of this Lease, be or become the property of Landlord at the termination hereof, but only if such awards shall be made by condemnation, court or other authority in addition to, and be stated separately from, the award made by it for the Property or part thereof so taken.
20. Assignment. So long as no Event of Default on the part of Tenant is pending, and so long as no other failure by Tenant to perform or observe any covenant or agreement under this Lease exists which could, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, become an Event of Default, then after the giving of all required notices and the expiration of all cure periods, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Premises for any of the then remaining portion of the unexpired Term provided: (i) the net assets of the assignee shall not be less than Twenty Million and no/Dollars ($20,000,000.00) provided that the net assets of Tenant at the time of the proposed assignment are equal to or greater than the net assets of Tenant at the time of the signing of this Lease; (ii) the net assets of the assignee are not less than eighty percent (80%) of the net assets of Tenant at the time of the signing of this Lease if Tenant’s net assets have decreased since the original date of this Lease, (iii) the sublessee has sufficient net worth to satisfy its obligations under the sublease; (iv) in the event of an assignment, such assignee shall assume in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (v) in the event of a sublease, such sublease shall in all respects be subject to and in conformance with the terms of this Lease; and (vi) in all events Tenant continues to remain liable on this Lease for the performance of all terms, including but not limited to, payment of all rent due hereunder. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment if in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the assignee lacks sufficient business experience or net worth to successfully operate its business within the Premises in accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after an Event of Default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further observance and performance by Tenant of the covenants herein contained. In addition, in the event of a proposed assignment, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant thirty (30) days’ advance notice (“Landlord’s Termination Notice”); provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to abrogate Landlord’s Termination Notice by notifying Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s Termination Notice of the withdrawal of the request for consent to the assignment. For purposes of the foregoing, a transfer by operation of law or transfer of a controlling interest in Tenant as same exists as of the date hereof, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease; however, the foregoing shall not apply to changes in ownership on a public exchange. No assignment or sublease, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent has been granted or withheld, shall be deemed to release Tenant from any of its obligations nor shall the same be deemed to release any person guaranteeing the obligations of Tenant hereunder from their obligations as guarantor. Landlord’s acceptance of any name submitted by Tenant, an agent of Tenant, or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant for the purpose of being listed on the Building directory will not be deemed, nor will it substitute for, Landlord’s consent, as required by this Lease, to any sublease, assignment, or other occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees. Fifty percent (50%) of any profit or additional consideration or rent in excess of the Annual Base Rent or additional rent

18


 

payable by Tenant hereunder which is payable to Tenant as a result of any assignment or subletting, net of Tenant’s reasonable and actual out of pocket third party transaction costs (including without limitation brokerage fees and tenant improvement costs), shall be paid to Landlord as additional rent when received by Tenant. All the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall not enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for the use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises or any portion thereof, which provides for a rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived by any person or entity from the property leased, used, occupied or utilized. Any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use or occupancy of any part of the Premises. Any consent by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of strict future compliance by Tenant with the provisions of this Section 20. In no event shall the proposed assignee or sublessee be occupying other space in the Building as a direct tenant (and not as a sublessee or assignee of Tenant), nor shall it be a prospective tenant then negotiating with Landlord.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Tenant maintains the same or better net worth, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to (i) assign the Lease or sublease the Premises or any portion thereof (however, Tenant shall endeavor to provide ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof along with a true and complete copy of the sublease or assignment document) to any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant or (ii) assign the Lease or sublease the Premises in the event of a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Tenant’s assets, and in any event shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such assignment or sublease. For the purposes hereof, “affiliate” shall mean an entity or individual that controls, is controlled by or is under the common control with Tenant. Tenant shall remain liable under the terms hereof if Tenant exercises its rights under this paragraph to the extent it survives such corporate event.
21. Events of Default . Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder, at Landlord’s election:
     (a) the sale of Tenant’s interest in the Premises under attachment, execution or similar legal process or, the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt or insolvent, unless such adjudication is vacated within sixty (60) days;
     (b) the filing of a voluntary petition proposing the adjudication of Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) as a bankrupt or insolvent, or the reorganization of Tenant (or any such guarantor), or an arrangement by Tenant (or any such guarantor) with its creditors, whether pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state proceeding, unless such petition is filed by a party other than Tenant (or any such guarantor) and is withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of its filing;
     (c) the admission, in writing, by Tenant (or any such guarantor) of its inability to pay its debts when due;
     (d) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the business or property of Tenant (or any such guarantor), unless such appointment is vacated within sixty (60) days of its entry;
     (e) the making by Tenant (or any such guarantor) of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if, in any other manner, Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall pass to another by operation of law;
     (f) the failure of Tenant to pay any Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other rent or sums of money owing hereunder when due, where such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of notice that the same is past due hereunder;
     (g) if Tenant fails to pay any Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other rent or sums of money owing hereunder when due after Landlord shall have given Tenant notice with respect to such non-payment twice in any twelve (12) month period as provided in subsection (f) above; and

19


 

     (h) the default by Tenant in the performance or observance of any covenant or agreement of this Lease (other than a default involving the payment of money), which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice thereof by Landlord, unless such default is of such nature that it cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, in which case no Event of Default shall occur so long as Tenant shall commence the curing of the default within such thirty (30) day period and shall thereafter diligently prosecute the curing of same to completion.
22. Remedies; Bankruptcy of Tenant Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord, with such notice to Tenant as provided for by law or as expressly provided for herein, may do any one or more of the following:
     (a) perform, on behalf of and at the expense of Tenant, any obligation of Tenant under this Lease which Tenant has failed to perform and of which Landlord shall have given Tenant notice, the cost of which performance by Landlord, together, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure, shall be deemed additional rent and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand;
     (b) elect to terminate this Lease and the tenancy created hereby by giving notice of such election to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall be liable, in addition to any other amounts due up until the time of such termination, for Annual Base Rent, additional rent and all other rent or sums of money owing hereunder that otherwise would have been payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term had there been no Event of Default, and on notice reenter the Premises, by summary proceedings or otherwise, and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Premises, and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, without resort to legal process and without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby; and also the right, but not the obligation, to re-let the Premises for any unexpired balance of the Term, and collect the rent therefor. In addition, Landlord shall also recover from Tenant any rent exemption, deferred rent or excused rent which Landlord may have granted to Tenant as an inducement to Tenant’s execution hereof, it being understood that Landlord’s granting of such rent holiday is in consideration of Tenant’s compliance with the terms and provisions hereof. In the event of such reletting by Landlord, the reletting shall be on such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and the proceeds that may be collected from the same, after deducting all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting, shall be applied upon Tenant’s rental obligation as set forth in this Lease for the unexpired portion of the Term. Tenant shall be liable for any balance that may be due under this Lease, although Tenant shall have no further right of possession of the Premises;
     (c) at Landlord’s discretion without further demand or notice or resort to judicial proceedings, to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, to reenter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof without terminating the Lease, and repossess the same as Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either, using such force for such purpose as may be necessary, without being liable for prosecution thereof, without being deemed guilty any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other rent or sums of money owing hereunder. No such reentry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination, specifically stating Landlord’s intention to terminate, shall be given to Tenant. Should Landlord elect to reenter as provided above, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then such repossession shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations and liability under this Lease, all of which shall survive such repossession. Following such repossession, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof in Landlord or Tenant’s name, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than

20


 

the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive the rents therefore. In the event that Landlord elects to take possession as provided in this subparagraph (d), Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) the Annual Base Rent, additional rent and other rent or sums of money owing hereunder which would have been payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises after deducting all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord monthly on the day on which Annual Base Rent and additional rent would have been payable hereunder if possession had not been retaken. In addition, Landlord shall also recover from Tenant any rent exemption, deferred rent or excused rent which Landlord may have granted to Tenant as an inducement to Tenant’s execution hereof, it being understood that Landlord’s granting of such rent holiday is in consideration of Tenant’s compliance with the terms and provisions hereof. Landlord reserves the right following any such reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate the Lease under the provisions of subparagraph (b) above by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in such notice; and
     (d) sue Tenant for any Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other rent or sums of money owing hereunder, or exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which it may have at law or in equity.
     Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above and regardless of whether an Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord may exercise the remedy described in clause (a) without any notice to Tenant if Landlord, in its good faith judgment, believes it would be materially injured by the failure to take rapid action, or if the unperformed obligation of Tenant constitutes an emergency.
     TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, GRANTED BY OR UNDER ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE LAWS IN THE EVENT OF TENANT’S BEING EVICTED OR DISPOSSESSED FOR ANY CAUSE, OR IN THE EVENT OF LANDLORD’S OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, BY REASON OF THE VIOLATION BY TENANT OF ANY OF THE COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LEASE, OR OTHERWISE. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY AND EVERY MATTER, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, THE USE AND OCCUPANCY BY TENANT OF THE PREMISES, ANY STATUTORY REMEDY AND/OR CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE REGARDING THIS LEASE.
     Any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Lease shall be deemed to be additional rent and shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand.
     Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Lease, in the event Tenant shall voluntarily or involuntarily come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and thereafter Tenant or its trustee in bankruptcy, under the authority of and pursuant to applicable provisions thereof, shall have the power and so using same determine to assign this Lease, Tenant agrees that (i) Tenant or its trustee shall provide to Landlord sufficient information enabling it to independently determine whether Landlord will incur actual and substantial detriment by reason of such assignment and (ii) “adequate assurance of future performance” under this Lease, as that term is generally defined under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, shall be provided to Landlord by Tenant and its assignee as a condition of the assignment.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Landlord hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonably efforts to relet the Premises, or a portion thereof, to one or more

21


 

substitute tenants, whether for a greater or lesser term than that specified herein for Tenant, and at commercially reasonable rates then applicable in the Colorado Springs North I-25 corridor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that any such duty to mitigate shall be satisfied, and Landlord shall be deemed to have used commercially reasonable efforts to fill the Premises by doing the following: (a) advising Landlord’s leasing agent, if any, of the availability of the Premises; (b) advising at least one outside commercial brokerage entity of the availability of the Premises; and (c) offering to such leasing agents and outside commercial brokerage entities the usual and customary commissions that landlords offer for similar properties in Colorado Springs North I-25 corridor; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises while other premises in the Colorado Springs North I-25 corridor or other properties within a five (5) mile vicinity of the Property (under the ownership or control of Landlord and/or its affiliates) suitable for that prospective tenant’s use are (or soon will be) available. In addition, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be deemed to be acting reasonably (and Tenant waives any right to claim otherwise) if Landlord enters into a substitute lease(s) which specifies Base Rent which is seventy-five percent (75%) or more than the then current prevailing market rent. If Landlord receives any payments from the reletting of the Premises and is required to mitigate damages (despite the intent of the parties hereunder), any such payment shall first be applied to any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of the Event of Default.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be considered in “Habitual Default” of this Lease upon (a) Tenant’s failure, on three (3) or more occasions during any twelve month period to pay when due any installment of Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other sum required by the terms of this Lease, or upon (b) Tenant’s failure, on three (3) or more occasions during any twelve month period to comply with any term, covenant or condition of this Lease after notice by Landlord to Tenant. Upon the occurrence of an event of Habitual Default on the part of Tenant, then without limiting any other rights or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled as a result of such Habitual Default or any other Event of Default by Tenant hereunder: (i) Tenant shall immediately be deemed to have relinquished any and all options or rights granted, or to be granted, to Tenant under the terms of this Lease or any amendment hereto (including, without limitation, any rights granted under Sections 3.3 and 53 of this Lease, rights to terminate, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal); and (ii) in the event of a monetary event of Habitual Default, Tenant shall thereafter pay all Annual Base Rent and additional rent and other sums whatsoever due under this Lease in cash, by money order or by certified check or cashier’s check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a bona fide dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to whether there has been a nonmonetary default, such default shall not be used as one of the three defaults for purposes of determining that Tenant is in Habitual Default unless and until such dispute is resolved with a finding that Tenant had in fact committed a nonmonetary default.
23. Services and Utilities. Landlord shall provide the following listed services and utilities, namely:
     (a) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) for the Premises in accordance with Section 11 of this Lease;
     (b) electric energy in accordance with Section 24 following;
     (c) hot and cold water sufficient for drinking, lavatory toilet and ordinary cleaning purposes from fixtures either within the Premises (if provided pursuant to this Lease) or on the floor on which the Premises are located; and
     (d) maintenance of Common Areas in a manner comparable to other first class suburban office buildings in the Colorado Springs North I-25 corridor.
     Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the HVAC, elevator, plumbing and electric systems, when necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements, or improvements, which in the judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary to be made, until the repairs, alterations, replacements, or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply HVAC,

22


 

elevator, plumbing, cleaning, and electric service, during the period when prevented from so doing by laws, orders, or regulations of any Federal, State, County or Municipal authority or by strikes, accidents or by any other cause whatsoever beyond Landlord’s control. Landlord’s obligations to supply HVAC are subject to applicable laws and regulations as to energy conservation and other such restrictions. In the event that Tenant should require supplemental HVAC for the Premises, any maintenance repair and/or replacement required for such supplemental service shall be performed by Landlord but the cost of such maintenance repair and/or replacement (including labor and materials) shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent.
     Landlord warrants to Tenant that electricity, water, sanitary and drainage sewers, telephone and natural gas will be available to the Premises throughout the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if any such utility service becomes unavailable or interrupted for more than ten (10) consecutive business days after notice thereof to Landlord and such unavailability or interruption is not the result of any reason listed in Section 27 herein or the fault of Tenant or its agents, servants, employees or invitees or (b), and as a result thereof, Tenant shall be not able to use all or such portion of the Premises and does not in fact use all or such portion of the Premises for such 10-business day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent commencing with the eleventh (11th) business day that the same are unavailable; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent under the foregoing due to unavailability (i) caused directly or indirectly by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, (ii) where Tenant makes a decoration, alteration, improvement or addition which requires interruption of services, or (iii) where the service in question is one which Tenant is obligated to furnish or pay for under the provisions of this Lease.
24. Electric Current. Landlord has supplied or will supply the Premises with the necessary lines to provide electric service to the Premises for normal office and data center operations, as well as separate meters so that Tenant’s consumption of electric power can be separately measured and charged to Tenant. Tenant shall pay all charges (including meter installation and adjustment) for electric and similar utilities or services so supplied directly to the utility company supplying same when due and before penalties or late charges on same shall accrue. Tenant shall not at any time overburden or exceed the capacity of the mains, feeders, ducts, conduits, or other facilities by which electric and similar utilities are supplied to, distributed in or serve the Premises. If Tenant desires to install any equipment which shall require additional electric or similar facilities of a greater capacity than as provided by Landlord, such installation shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications therefor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If such installation is approved by Landlord, all costs for providing such additional electrical and similar facilities shall be paid by Tenant.
25. Telephone and Telecommunications. Landlord has arranged for the installation of telephone service within the Building to the ground floor telephone utility closet and conduit to the ground floor telephone and electrical riser closets. Tenant shall be responsible for contacting the utility company supplying the telephone service and arranging to have such telephone facilities as it may desire to be extended and put into operation in the Premises, including without limitation, obtaining a low voltage permit for phone and data wiring. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all telephone and telecommunications services desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant. All costs related to installation and the provision of such service shall be borne and paid for directly by Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall remove the telephone facilities at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Tenant shall obtain the requisite permit and complete the ceiling work in cooperation with Landlord in order not to interfere with or delay the completion of the Tenant Improvements by Landlord pursuant to Section 35, including, without limitation, the closing of the ceiling and the carpet installation, if applicable. Landlord will allow Tenant access for wiring, including electric, data and telecom, within the Building’s public areas and designated chases, but will not guarantee access of the wiring through another tenant’s space. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for the relocation and its associated costs, if requested, of any data, telecom or electrical wiring that runs through another tenant’s space, including the plenum area or otherwise.

23


 

     In the event Tenant wishes to utilize the services of a telephone or telecommunications provider whose equipment is not servicing the Building at such time Tenant wishes to install its telecommunications equipment serving the Premises (“Provider”), no such Provider shall be permitted to install its lines or other equipment without first securing the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to the commencement of any work in or about the Building by the Provider, the Provider shall agree to abide by such rules and regulations, job site rules, and such other requirements as reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interest of the Building and Property, the other tenants and occupants of the Building and Landlord, including, without limitation, providing security in such form and amount as reasonably determined by Landlord. Each Provider must be duly licensed, insured and reputable. Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of Provider’s provision of its services, including without limitation, the costs of installation, materials and service.
     In addition, Landlord reserves exclusively to itself and its successors and assigns the right to install, operate, maintain, repair, replace and remove fiber optic cable and conduit and associated equipment and appurtenances within the Building and the Premises so as to provide telecommunications service to and for the benefit of tenants and other occupants of the Building.
26. Acceptance of Premises. Tenant shall have reasonable opportunity to examine the Premises to determine the condition thereof. Tenant shall not interfere with Landlord’s work if it enters the Premises at any time prior to the Commencement Date. Upon taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted same as being satisfactory and in the condition called for hereunder, except for punch list items previously noted to Landlord and latent defects. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense will promptly remedy any latent defects within a reasonable time after discovery.
27. Inability to Perform. Landlord and Tenant will be allowed a reasonable time for delay, except with respect to any obligations for the payment of money, due to strikes or labor troubles or any outside cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, governmental preemption in connection with a National Emergency, or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision of any government agency or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency. Similarly, Landlord shall not be liable for any interference with any services supplied to Tenant by others if such interference is caused by any of the reasons listed in this Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord not expressly imposed by other sections of this Lease.
28. No Waivers. The failure of Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances, upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, or to exercise any option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver, or a relinquishment for the future, of such covenant or option, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. The receipt by Landlord of rent, with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.
29. Access to Premises and Change in Services. Landlord shall have the right, without abatement of rent, to enter the Premises at any hour to examine the same, or to make such repairs and alterations as Landlord shall deem necessary for the safety and preservation of the Building, and also to exhibit the Premises to be let; provided, however, that except in the case of emergency such entry shall only be after notice first given to Tenant. If, during the last month of the Term, Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant’s property therefrom, Landlord may immediately enter and alter, renovate and redecorate the Premises, without elimination or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, supervision or repair, of the Building or any part thereof, other than as herein elsewhere expressly provided. Landlord shall also have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to reasonably change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and

24


 

doorways, and corridors, stairs, toilets, elevators, or other public parts of the Building, and to change the name by which the Building is commonly known and/or its mailing address.
30. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior request by Landlord to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” or such other reasonable form requested by Landlord which certifies that this Lease is unmodified and in full force (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications) and the dates through which the rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate Landlord is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge, it being intended that any such statement delivered hereunder may be relied upon by third parties not a party to this Lease. Tenant expressly agrees that the thirty (30) day cure period concerning Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any covenant or agreement of this Lease (other than a default involving the payment of money) as set forth in Section 21, subsection (i) above shall not apply to Tenant’s obligation to timely provide the foregoing estoppel certificate to Landlord, and that Tenant shall be deemed to have committed an Event of Default if such estoppel certificate is not provided to Landlord within an additional five (5) days’ written notice of non-delivery.
31. Subordination. Tenant accepts this Lease, and the tenancy created hereunder, subject and subordinate to any mortgages, overleases, leasehold mortgages or other security interests now or hereafter a lien upon or affecting the Building or the Property or any part thereof. Tenant shall, at any time hereafter, within ten (10) days after request from Landlord, execute a Subordination, Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably requested by any instruments or leases or other documents that may be required by any mortgage or mortgagee or overlandlord (herein a “Mortgagee”) for the purpose of subjecting or subordinating this Lease and the tenancy created hereunder to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages or underlying lease. Tenant expressly agrees that the thirty (30) day cure period concerning Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any covenant or agreement of this Lease (other than a default involving the payment of money) as set forth in Section 21, subsection (i) above shall not apply to Tenant’s obligation to timely provide the foregoing Subordination, Non-Disturbance Agreement to Landlord, and that Tenant shall be deemed to have committed an Event of Default if such Subordination, Non-Disturbance Agreement is not provided to Landlord within an additional five (5) day period after written notice of non-delivery. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA from any future Mortgagee on a form reasonably acceptable to both Mortgagee and Tenant.
32. Attornment. Tenant agrees that upon any termination of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Tenant shall, upon request, attorn to the person or organization then holding title to the reversion of the Premises (the “Successor”) and to all subsequent Successors, and shall pay to the Successor all of the rents and other monies required to be paid by Tenant hereunder and perform all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations in this Lease contained; provided, however, that if in connection with such attornment Tenant shall so request from such Successor in writing, such Successor shall execute and deliver to Tenant an instrument wherein such Successor agrees that as long as Tenant performs all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, on Tenant’s part to be performed, Tenant’s possession under the provisions of this Lease shall not be disturbed by such Successor. In the event that the Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder and is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the Annual Base Rent or additional rent payable by Tenant hereunder is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, Mortgagee, as Landlord, shall have the right at any time, from time to time, to notify Tenant in writing of the required changes to the Lease. Tenant shall execute all documents necessary to effect any such amendment within ten (10) days after written request from Mortgagee, as landlord, provided that in no event shall such amendment increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

34. Intentionally Deleted.
35. Tenant’s Space. Attached hereto as Exhibit “C” is a copy of Landlord’s “Tenant Improvements,” specifying the materials and manner in which Landlord shall finish the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”).
     35.1 Tenant Allowance. Landlord shall pay Two Million Nine Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty and no/Dollars ($2,989,960.00) towards the costs of completing the Tenant Improvements (the “Allowance”). If the cost to complete the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Allowance, Landlord shall advance up to an additional Seven Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred Ninety and no/Dollars ($747,490.00) (the “Amortized Amount”). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written invoice from Landlord, whether it (a) desires Landlord to advance all or any portion of the Amortized Amount or (b) it elects to pay the amount directly to Landlord. The parties acknowledge that while Tenant is required to notify Landlord of its intent to pay the foregoing amount directly within 15 days after receipt of the written invoice, Tenant’s actual payment thereof shall not be due until thirty (30) days following receipt of the applicable invoice. Such portion of the Amortized Amount which has been advanced shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis, together with Base Rent, as additional rent, in an amount equal to the amount of the Amortized Amount which has been advanced, amortized over a ten (10) year term, with interest accruing at nine percent (9%) per annum. Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease or an acknowledgment of the Amortized Amount within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written statement from Landlord, together with reasonable supporting documentation. Any costs to complete the Tenant Improvements in excess of Three Million Seven Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred Fifty and no/Dollars ($3,737,450.00) (which is the sum of the Allowance and the Amortized Amount), shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written invoice, together with reasonable supporting documentation.
     35.2 Allowance for Phase I Premises. The parties acknowledge and agree that the construction of Phase II shall occur subsequent to the Phase I Commencement Date and that the Allowance and the Amortized Amount are calculated based on the entire square footage in both the Phase I Premises and the Phase II Premises. Accordingly, Landlord shall not disburse more than $1,644,800.00 of the Allowance to complete construction of the Phase I Premises, and if the cost to construct the Phase I Premises exceeds $1,644,800.00, Landlord shall advance up to $411,200.00 of the Amortized Amount in accordance with Section 35.1. Any Allowance or Amortized Amount that is not applied toward the cost of construction for the Phase I Premises may be applied towards the construction of the Phase II Premises.

26


 

     35.3 Unused Allowance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 35 or this Lease, if Tenant does not use all of the Allowance towards Tenant’s Work, provided that the construction of the Phase II Premises is complete, Tenant shall have the right to use up to Three Hundred Seventy-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Five and no/Dollars ($373,745.00) of the undisbursed Allowance either (i) towards soft construction costs, including, architectural and engineering services, voice and data cabling, exterior building signage, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and any moving costs or, (ii) upon written notice to Landlord, as a credit against any future installments of Annual Base Rent until such costs are fully credited; provided, however that no more than fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Annual Base Rent shall be withheld by Tenant.
     35.4 Construction of Phase II Premises. The parties acknowledge that Landlord shall be performing the construction for the Phase II Premises after the Phase I Commencement Date. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its intent to enter the Phase I Premises, if necessary, to complete the Phase II construction and the areas of the Phase I Premises in which Landlord shall need access, and Tenant shall move all personal property that may interfere with Landlord’s ability to complete its work. While performing the construction of the Phase II Premises, Landlord assumes no liability for any damage to Tenant’s personal property contained in the Premises, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any elimination or abatement of rent, unless such damage is caused by the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees and/or contractors. The parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant shall be responsible for construction of the Clean Room, and Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Section 10 of this Lease in its performance of such construction. To the extent Tenant chooses to apply the Allowance towards construction of the Clean Room, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for amounts actually paid by Tenant in connection therewith to Tenant’s vendors, suppliers or contractor, provided that Landlord shall have received (i) a certificate signed by Tenant and Tenant’s architect setting forth (a) that the sum then requested was paid by Tenant to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers and other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials in connection with work on the Clean Room, (b) a complete description of the services and materials and the amounts paid or to be paid to each of such persons in respect thereof, and (c) a statement that the work described in the certificate has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 10, and (ii) paid receipts or such other proof of payment as Landlord shall reasonably require for all such work completed. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a written request for reimbursement from Tenant and shall debit the Allowance therefor.
     35.5 Construction Management Fee. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonable amount of construction management services in connection with the construction of Tenant’s Work for a construction management fee in the amount of (i) five percent (5%) of the aggregate construction costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements for the Phase I Premises and (ii) three percent (3%) of the aggregate construction costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements for the Phase II Premises, both of which amounts shall be deducted from the Allowance. Such construction management services shall include (i) coordination of Tenant’s access to the Building including the parking areas and rear entrances, loading dock, one (1) freight elevator and one (1) stairwell during construction of Tenant’s Work, (ii) overview of the installation of Tenant’s telecommunication equipment, (iii) confirmation that Tenant’s security/alarm system and fire alarm system is consistent with the system installed by Landlord in the Building, (iv) coordination with the Base Building security during construction, (v) coordination of all noise related work in an occupied Building (i.e., tie in to fire alarm and sprinkler systems, hammer-drilling, core drilling during non-business hours), and (vi) location of dumpster. In addition to Landlord’s construction management services, Tenant may select its own construction manager, subject to the prior approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     35.6 Tenant Caused Delay. If Tenant interferes with Landlord’s ability to substantially complete the Phase I Premises by the Phase I Target Date in any way (i.e., delays in selection of finishes, issuing stop orders, requesting change orders, requesting the performance of work not included as Tenant Improvements, failing to provide timely responses to Landlord’s request for

27


 

approved plans and specifications) (“Tenant Delay”), and such Tenant Delay is a direct cause of Landlord’s inability to substantially complete the Phase I Premises by the Phase I Target Date, then and in such event the Phase I Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date that substantial completion of the Phase I Premises would have occurred (but in no event prior to the Phase I Target Date) in the absence of the Tenant Caused Delay.
     35.7 Budget for Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of a budget outlining Landlord’s anticipated costs for completing the Tenant Improvements (the “Budget”). To the extent Landlord’s work hereunder would cause the overall cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Budget, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such overrun, and Tenant shall have five (5) days to notify Landlord if it disapproves of such overrun, provided that Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval hereunder. If Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of its disapproval thereof, such overrun shall be deemed approved. If Tenant disapproves of Landlord’s projected overrun, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to devise alternatives to alleviate any possible overruns. To allow Tenant to monitor the Budget, Landlord shall provide copies to Tenant of the invoices paid in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
36. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon the payment of rent and the performance of all the terms of this Lease, shall at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without any disturbance from Landlord or any other person claiming through Landlord.
37. Vacation of Premises. Tenant shall vacate the Premises at the end of the Term. If Tenant fails to vacate at such time there shall be payable to Landlord an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Annual Base Rent stated in Section 1.1.11 paid immediately prior to the holding over period for each month or part of a month that Tenant holds over, plus all other payments provided for herein, and the payment and acceptance of such payments shall not constitute an extension or renewal of this Lease. In event of any such holdover, Landlord shall also be entitled to all remedies provided by law for the speedy eviction of tenants, and to the payment of all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first thirty (30) days during which Tenant holds over pursuant to this Section 37, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the monthly Annual Base Rent stated in Section 1.1.11 paid immediately prior to the holding over period.
38. Members’ Liability. It is understood that the Owner of the Building is a Colorado limited liability company. All obligations of the Owner hereunder are limited to the net assets of the Owner from time to time. No member of Owner, or of any successor entity, whether now or hereafter a member, shall have any personal responsibility or liability for the obligations of Owner hereunder.
39. Separability. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such term or provision of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
40. Indemnification.
     40.1 Tenant’s Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all of its and their respective members, partners, directors, officers, agents and employees from any and all liability, loss, cost or expense arising from all third-party claims resulting from or in connection with:

28


 

together with all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
     In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any of its and their respective partners, directors, officers, agents or employees and such claim is a claim from which Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Section, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord shall resist and defend such action or proceeding (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord). The obligations of Tenant under this Section shall survive termination of this Lease.
     40.2 Landlord’s Indemnification. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and all of its and their respective members, partners, directors, officers, agents and employees from any and all liability, loss, cost or expense arising from all third-party claims resulting from or in connection with any act, omission or negligence of Landlord or any of its tenants or licensees or its or their partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, invitees or contractors; and

The obligations of Landlord under this Section shall survive termination of this Lease.

42. Brokers. Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt directly with, only with, the Broker as broker in connection with this Lease, and Tenant warrants that no other broker negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any commissions in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall pay the Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement by and between Landlord and Broker.
43. Recordation. Tenant covenants that it shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease or offer this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease for recordation.

If at any time Tenant shall request the recordation of this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease, and to the extent Landlord consents to such recordation as described above, then such recordation shall be at Tenant’s expense. If the recordation of this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease shall be required by any valid governmental order, or if any government authority having jurisdiction in the matter shall assess and be entitled to collect transfer taxes or documentary stamp taxes, or both transfer taxes and documentary stamp taxes on this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease, Tenant shall execute such acknowledgments as may be necessary to effect such recordations and pay, upon request of Landlord, one half of all recording fees, transfer taxes and documentary stamp taxes payable on, or in connection with this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease or such recordation.
44. Successors and Assigns. The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (subject, however, to the terms of Section 20 hereof).

Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant, nor any of its respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members or affiliates (including without limitation indirect holders of equity interests in Tenant) is or will be an entity or person: (i) that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001 (“EO13224”); (ii) whose name appears on the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) most current list of “Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons” (which list may be published from time to time in various mediums including, but not limited to, the OFAC website); (iii) who commits, threatens to commit or supports “terrorism”, as that term is defined in EO13224; (iv) is subject to sanctions of the United States government or is in violation of any federal, state, municipal or local laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, decrees, rules or regulations relating to terrorism or money laundering, including, without limitation, EO13224 and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001; or (v) who is otherwise affiliated with any entity or person listed above (any and all parties or persons described in clauses (i) – (v) above are herein referred to as a “Prohibited Person”).
     Neither Tenant, nor any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members or affiliates (including without limitation indirect holders of equity interests in Tenant) shall (a) conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person, or (b) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in EO13224. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, lawsuits, costs (including reasonable counsel fees), losses, damages and liabilities that arise out of or relate to Landlord’s engagement in any activity associated with either (a) or (b) set forth above. If Tenant violates the provisions of this Section, such violation shall be considered an immediate Event of Default and Landlord shall not be required to grant Tenant any cure period prior to exercising its rights under this Lease, including, without limitation, termination of the Lease.
52. Parking. During the Initial Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, on a first-come, first-serve basis, to park in the surface parking, at no cost or expense to Tenant or its employees or agents, at a ratio of approximately 4 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises, as such Premises may be expanded pursuant to Section 53 herein.
53. Right of Expansion. The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord has the capacity to build an addition onto the Building (the “Building Addition”). At any time prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Phase I Commencement Date, provided that (i) Tenant is not in default at the time of exercising its rights under this Section 53, (ii) Tenant occupies the Premises and is open for business in the entire Premises (which shall only include the Phase I Premises until the

33


 

Phase II Commencement Date) (and will not have reduced the size of the Premises in any subsequent amendments or agreements after the date of this Lease) and (iii) Landlord shall have determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that Tenant has sufficient financial net worth to fulfill its obligations under this Lease for both the Premises and the Expansion Space (as defined herein), Tenant shall have the one-time right to require Landlord to construct a minimum of an additional twenty-five thousand (25,000) rentable square feet up to a maximum of forty thousand (40,000) rentable square feet (the “Expansion Space”). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intent to exercise its rights under this Section 53 (“Tenant’s Request”).

(b) Landlord shall build out the core and shell of the Building Addition with at least 25,000 rentable square feet;
(c) Landlord shall construct such tenant improvements in the Expansion Space as are mutually agreed upon by both Landlord and Tenant (the “Expansion Improvements”);
(d) Landlord shall pay for the cost of the Expansion Improvements up to an amount equal to the product of (i) Forty-One and no/Dollars ($41.00) and the rentable area of the Expansion Space if Tenant exercises its rights during the first Lease Year, (ii) Forty-Two and no/Dollars ($42.00) and the rentable area of the Expansion Space if Tenant exercises its rights during the second Lease Year, (iii) Forty-Three and no/Dollars ($43.00) and the rentable area of the Expansion Space if Tenant exercises its rights during the third Lease Year or (iv) Forty-Four and no/Dollars ($44.00) and the rentable area of the Expansion Space if Tenant exercises its rights during the fourth Lease Year (the “Expansion Allowance);
(e) If the cost to complete the Expansion Improvements exceeds the Expansion Allowance, at Tenant’s option, Tenant shall either reimburse Landlord directly for such excess costs or Landlord shall advance up to an additional amount equal to the product of Ten and no/Dollars ($10.00) and the rentable area of the Expansion Space (the “Expansion Amortized Amount”), which amount shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis, together with Base Rent, as additional rent, in an amount equal to the amount of the Expansion Amortized Amount which has been advanced, amortized over a ten (10) year term, with interest accruing at nine percent (9%) per annum;
(f) The term of the Lease for the Expansion Space shall be ten (10) years from the commencement date for the Expansion Space, and the term for the Premises shall be extended to be coterminous therewith, with the Base Rent for the Premises increasing during such extension in the same proportion as the increases during the then current Term;
(g) The commencement date for the Expansion Space shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Tenant takes possession and occupancy of the Expansion Space to conduct business or (b) the date five (5) days following that date which is the last on which all of the following events have occurred, namely (x) the Expansion Space is “substantially completed,” as defined in Section 3.2 above, and (y) Landlord has given Tenant notice that the Expansion Space is “substantially completed;” Provided, however, that the target date for the Expansion Space commencement date shall be eighteen (18) months following full execution of an amendment to this Lease pursuant to Section 53.3; and
(h) Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of a budget outlining Landlord’s anticipated costs for completing the Expansion Improvements (the “Expansion Budget”).

34


 

To the extent Landlord’s work hereunder would cause the overall cost of the Expansion Improvements to exceed the Expansion Budget, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such overrun, and Tenant shall have five (5) days to notify Landlord if it disapproves of such overrun, provided that Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval hereunder. If Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of its disapproval thereof, such overrun shall be deemed approved. If Tenant disapproves of Landlord’s projected overrun, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to devise alternatives to alleviate any possible overruns. To allow Tenant to monitor the Expansion Budget, Landlord shall provide copies to Tenant of the invoices paid in connection with the Expansion Improvements.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the commencement of construction of the Expansion Space, Landlord shall provide Tenant with its estimate of the Total Development Costs (the “Development Cost Statement”). Within fourteen (14) days following receipt of the Development Cost Statement, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing either directing Landlord to proceed with the construction of the Expansion Space, or withdrawing Tenant’s Request, at which time Tenant’s rights under this Section 53 shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs in designing the Expansion Space incurred as of the date of Landlord’s Development Cost Statement, including, without limitation, the architectural and engineering costs, mechanical, electrical and plumbing costs, subdivision costs and the costs to produce the construction drawings but in no event more than $7.80 per rentable area of the Expansion Space .

     53.3 Entry into Lease Amendment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s Request, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Lease which adds the Expansion Space to the definition of the “Premises” and addresses such other matters that are at variance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. At such time as the Total Development Costs are ascertainable, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an additional amendment to this Lease setting forth the Base Rent for the Expansion Space, with rent commencing on the Expansion Space upon the commencement date for the Expansion Space, as set forth in Section 53.1.
     53.4 Miscellaneous Matters. The expansion rights shall not be severed from this Lease, or separately sold, assigned or transferred, but may only be assigned or transferred as a part of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this provision is personal to Landlord and shall not survive any assignment of this Lease or transfer of Landlord’s rights under this Lease to any subsequent third-party owner or Mortgagee.
54. Exterior Signage. Provided Tenant occupies at least fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Area of the Building, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the right to install two (2) exterior signs on the Building on the locations shown on Exhibit “F” attached hereto and made a part hereof, provided that (i) there is no Event of Default outstanding at anytime, (ii) Tenant obtains Landlord’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, with regard to the size, and method of installation of the signage and (iii) Tenant remains open for business in the Premises. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall maintain the signage, and obtain all required permits from any governmental authorities. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the exterior signage on the Building and restore the Building’s surface to that condition which existed immediately prior to the installation of the signage. In addition, if, after installation of the signage, any of the conditions set forth in subsections (i) through (iii) inclusive of the first sentence of this paragraph are not satisfied, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall remove the signage upon fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice from Landlord and restore the Building’s surface to that condition which existed immediately prior to the installation of the signage.
55. Landlord’s Warranties and Covenants. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that it is the sole owner in fee simple of the Building, that no mortgages or deeds of trusts presently encumber Landlord’s title to the Building; no encumbrances on the Building shall prohibit or impede the use of the Premises as contemplated herein or create any financial obligation on the part of Tenant except as expressly set forth herein; that Landlord has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Lease and make the agreements contained herein on its part to be performed; that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease has been duly authorized by Landlord; that the Lease constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Landlord, enforceable in accordance with its terms; that other than as set forth in any Phase I reports provided to Tenant by Landlord, to Landlord’s knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials in, on or under the Premises or the Building; and that the making of this Lease and the performance thereof will not violate any present zoning laws or ordinances or the terms or provisions of any mortgage, lease or other agreement to which

36


 

Landlord is a party or under which Landlord is otherwise bound, or which restricts Landlord in any way with respect to the use or disposition of the Premises.
56. Landlord Default. If at any time or times Landlord shall be in default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants, agreements or undertakings provided in this Lease, and if Landlord shall not cure or remedy such default within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives written notice thereof to Landlord, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured and remedied within thirty (30) days, if Landlord shall not commence in good faith to cure and remedy such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Tenant and continue with due diligence until such default is cured and remedied, then Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, take such action as in Tenant’s good faith judgment is reasonably appropriate to cure and remedy such default by Landlord, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor, pay to Tenant an amount equal to all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in so curing and remedying such default. If Landlord fails to pay Tenant within the 30-day period, Tenant shall only be permitted to offset the amount due against Base Rent after obtaining a final, unappealable decision in its favor from an adjudicatory body.
57. Right of First Refusal to Purchase. During the Term of this Lease, provided that Tenant is occupying the entire Premises, has not reduced the size of the Premises in any subsequent amendments or agreements after the date of this Lease and has not subleased any portion of the Premises (the “ROFR Conditions”), Tenant shall have a continuing right of first refusal in connection with the purchase of the Building from Landlord, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section. When Landlord receives a bona-fide offer to purchase the Building from a company that produces medical devices (the “Third Party”) that Landlord is willing to accept, provided that Tenant has satisfied the ROFR Conditions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the terms and conditions under which the Third Party is willing to purchase the Building (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”). Within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice, Tenant shall exercise the foregoing right of first refusal by delivering written notice of its intention to purchase the Building on equal or better terms and conditions than those set forth in Landlord’s Offer Notice (“Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”). Tenant’s failure to provide Tenant’s Acceptance Notice within the foregoing 5-business day period shall be deemed rejection of Landlord’s Offer Notice.
     57.1 Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Tenant exercises its rights in a timely fashion under Section 57 above, within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, the parties shall execute the agreement of sale which is attached hereto as Exhibit “K” (the “Agreement of Sale”). Upon the closing of the purchase of the Building, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event that the purchase of the Building does not close pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Sale, then, in addition to the applicable provisions of the Agreement of Sale, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms set forth herein, except that Tenant’s Right of First Refusal in this Section 57 shall be void and of no further force or effect.
     57.2 Miscellaneous Matters. If (i) Tenant is then in default beyond any applicable cure period under the terms of this Lease at the time of exercising its rights under this Section 57, (ii) Tenant fails to deliver Tenant’s Acceptance Notice within the five (5) business day period specified above, (iii) Tenant fails to execute the Agreement of Sale within the ten (10) day period, unless the Agreement of Sale is not executed for any reason within Landlord’s reasonable control or (iv) Tenant declines to exercise its rights as provided above, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Building based on the terms and conditions specified in Landlord’s Offer Notice. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted by this Section 57 are personal to Landlord and to Tenant and shall not survive any assignment of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant nor shall it survive any transfer of Landlord’s rights under this Lease to any subsequent third-party owner or Mortgagee.

Article III.
Failure to Close
     3.1 Buyer’s Default. If Seller has complied with all of the covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement and is ready, willing and able to convey its interest in the Property in accordance with this Agreement and Buyer fails to consummate this Agreement and take title, then the parties hereto recognize and agree that the damages that Seller will sustain as a result thereof will be substantial, but difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, the parties agree that, in the event of Buyer’s default, Seller shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to the other under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Covenants.
     3.2 Seller’s Default. In the event that Buyer has complied with all of the covenants and conditions contained herein and is ready, willing and able to take title to the Property in accordance with this Agreement, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any default of Seller under this Agreement shall be to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer hereby waives any right to recover from Seller any damages of any nature whatsoever, including actual or consequential damages, due to, arising out of, or relating to any default by Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
Article IV.

     4.1 Closing.

     4.2 Closing Procedure. At Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be delivered
     (a) a Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, proper for recording, conveying Seller’s interest in the Real Property to Buyer, subject, however, to (i) covenants, restrictions and matters of record, (ii) matters that would be shown by an accurate survey, (iii) matters otherwise known to Buyer, (iv) taxes not yet due and payable, and (vi) any encumbrances created or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the existing lease from Seller to Buyer of the Real Property (the “Existing Lease”);
     (b) a Bill of Sale and General Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, dated as of the date of Closing conveying to Buyer any and all Personal Property;
     (c) an Assignment of Contracts in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, dated the Closing Date, assigning all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all service and maintenance contracts relating to the Property which are in force and effect as of the Closing Date, if any;
     (d) an affidavit that Seller is not a “foreign person” in the form attached as Exhibit “E”; and
     (e) to the extent in the possession of Seller and not already delivered to Buyer, maintenance records, equipment manuals and plans and specifications for the Improvements; and
     4.3 Buyer’s Performance. At the Closing, Buyer will cause the Purchase Price to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, will execute and deliver the Bill of Sale and such other documents as the Escrow Agent may reasonable require.
Article V.
Title Contingency; Service Contracts
     5.1 Title Contingency. As of the Effective Date, Seller shall provided Buyer a copy of its most recent title policy along with the most recent survey Seller has in its possession (the “Original Title Report”). Within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with an updated title report, including all accompanying documents (the “Title Report”) and Buyer’s objections thereto, such objections stating all of Buyer’s objections with specificity and being limited to matters that (1) did not appear on the Original Title Report or (2) would render title to the Real Property unmerchantable. This contingency shall be deemed satisfied or waived if such written notice of objection is not received by Seller on or before the time required in the preceding sentence. If Buyer requests extended coverage, such coverage shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Buyer and not the Seller, and satisfaction thereof shall not delay Closing. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such objections. If Seller cures such objections within fifteen (15) days, or, if such objections are such that they cannot be cured within fifteen (15) days but Seller has commenced curing such objections and thereafter diligently proceeds to perfect such cure, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Closing Date shall be adjusted accordingly. If Seller is unable or chooses not to cure such objections by the Closing Date, then Buyer may either accept title as may be given as aforesaid without reduction or abatement in purchase price or terminate this Agreement, in which case Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants.
     5.2 Termination of Service Contracts. Seller shall terminate, effective as of Closing, at no charge to Buyer, all service contracts in effect as of the Effective Date that are rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by Buyer to Seller within fifteen (15) days following the

K-3


 

Effective Date. Failure to notify Seller in a timely manner shall be deemed acceptance of the Service Contracts.
Article VI.
Loss due to Casualty or Condemnation
     6.1 Loss due to Condemnation. In the event of a condemnation occurring after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, if all or a Substantial Portion of the Real Property is taken, either party may, upon written notice to the other party given within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such event, cancel this Agreement, in which event Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. In the event that neither party elects to terminate, or if the condemnation affects less than a Substantial Portion or does not affect the building or parking area, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller shall be entitled to all monies received or collected by reason of such condemnation prior to closing. In such event, the transaction hereby contemplated shall close in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement except that there will be an abatement of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the net proceeds, less costs and attorney’s fees, which are received by Seller by reason of such condemnation prior to the Closing Date. If the condemnation proceeding shall not have been concluded prior to the Closing Date, then there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign any interest it has in the pending award to Buyer. For purposes of this Section 7.1, a “Substantial Portion” shall mean a condemnation of any portion of (i) the building or (ii) the parking lot which materially affects the number of parking spaces or ingress/egress from the parking lot.
     6.2 Loss due to Casualty. In the event of Substantial Loss or Damage to the Improvements by fire or other casualty (not resulting from negligent act of Buyer) which fire or casualty shall have occurred after the date of this Agreement, either party may, upon written notice to the other party given within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such event, cancel this Agreement in which event Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Covenants. In the event that neither party elects to terminate, or if the casualty results in less than Substantial Loss or Damage, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds received or collected by reason of such damage or loss, whereupon the transaction hereby contemplated shall close in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement except that there will be an abatement of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the net proceeds (including reductions for costs and attorney’s fees) which are received by Seller as a result of such damage or loss, provided that such abatement will be reduced by the amount expended by Seller in accordance with Article VIII hereof for restoration or preservation of the Property following the casualty. Alternatively, Buyer may, in its discretion, have Seller repair or replace the damaged Property, and there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price in such case. However, Buyer shall not be entitled to require Seller to effect repair or replacement unless the loss is entirely covered by insurance (except for any applicable deductible) and the time necessary to complete the repair or replacement is estimated not to extend beyond the Outside Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Substantial Loss or Damage” shall mean loss or damage, the cost for repair of which equals ten percent (10%) or more of the Purchase Price.
Article VII.
Maintenance of the Property
     Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall maintain the Property as required by the terms of the Existing Lease. During the period prior to the Closing Date and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any new contract for the operation of the Property without Buyer’s consent unless the same may be cancelled on the Closing Date

without cost to Buyer. Any such proposed contract shall be reviewed and approved or rejected within five (5) business days after receipt thereof by Buyer. Failure to approve or reject such proposed contract within such period shall be deemed approval.

Buyer and Seller each agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other for any and all judgments, costs of suit, attorneys’ fees, and other reasonable expenses which the other may incur by reason of any action or claim against the other on the basis of the acts of the indemnifying party arising out of this Agreement or any subsequent sale of the Property to Buyer. Seller shall pay Seller’s Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement by and between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Buyer shall pay Buyer’s Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement by and between Buyer and Buyer’s Broker.

SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. BUYER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE DEED, AGREES THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND ACCEPTS SAME “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”.
