3. MASTER LEASE.
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF MASTER LEASE. Sublandlord is the lessee of the
Premises by virtue of a lease, a copy of which and all amendments thereto is
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference herein (the
"MASTER LEASE"), wherein XXXXXXXX PROPERTIES ACQUISITION PARTNERS, L.P., a
Delaware corporation, the successor in interest to Gateway Colorado Properties,
Inc., a California corporation, is the Landlord ("MASTER LANDLORD").
3.2 SUBORDINATION OF SUBLEASE. This Sublease is and shall be at all
times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease.
3.3 INCORPORATION OF MASTER LEASE. The terms, conditions and
respective obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant to each other under this
Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of the Master Lease except for those
provisions of the
Page 1 of 12
Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the
terms of this Sublease document shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore,
for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word
"LANDLORD" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublandlord herein and
wherever in the Master Lease the word "TENANT" is used it shall be deemed to
mean the Subtenant herein. Subtenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Subtenant shall have
no rights under and the following provisions of the Master Lease shall not apply
to this Sublease: Section 30. OPTION TO RENEW and Section 31. RIGHT TO OFFER.
Further, Subtenant shall have no rights or obligations under Section 8.b.(2) of
the Master Lease to remove alterations or additions to the Premises made by
Sublandlord at the end of the term if such removal is requested by Master
Landlord; provided, however, that Subtenant shall have the obligation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.b.(2) to remove at the end of the
term any alterations or additions made to the Premises by Subtenant if requested
by Master Landlord. Sublandlord shall provide a copy of any such request by
Master Landlord to Subtenant to remove alterations or additions to the Premises
within five (5) days of receipt of such request. Subtenant shall cooperate with
Sublandlord with respect to any removal for which Sublandlord is responsible,
including, if necessary, vacating the Premises prior to the end of the term so
that Sublandlord can timely complete its removal obligation by the end of the
term. Further, if Subtenant must vacate the Premises in order to comply with
Master Landlord's request, Sublandlord shall provide at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Subtenant of the need for Subtenant to vacate the
Premises. If Subtenant vacates the Premises prior to the end of the term at the
request of Sublandlord, the Base Rent, the Parking Cost and the Excess Operating
Expenses (all as defined in Article 5 below) for the final month shall be
prorated based on the number of days of actual occupancy. Subtenant shall
indemnify Sublandlord against any loss or liability resulting from any delay by
Subtenant in surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any
claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.

3.4 SUBTENANT'S ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS. During the term of this
Sublease and for all periods subsequent for obligations which have arisen prior
to the termination of this Sublease, Subtenant does hereby expressly assume and
agree to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublandlord and Master
Landlord, each and every obligation of Sublandlord under the Master Lease;
provided, however, that Subtenant's obligations with respect to payment of Base
Rent and Excess Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 5.3 and 5.4 below,
respectively) shall be as described herein and not as described in the Master
Lease except to the extent specifically referenced herein. The obligations that
Subtenant has assumed hereunder are hereinafter referred to as the "SUBTENANT'S
ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS". The obligations that Subtenant has not assumed hereunder
are hereinafter referred to as the "SUBLANDLORD'S REMAINING OBLIGATIONS".
Subtenant shall hold Sublandlord free and harmless from all liability,
judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, arising out of Subtenant's failure to comply with or perform Subtenant's
Assumed Obligations.
3.5 SUBLANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE CONDITIONED ON MASTER LANDLORD'S
PERFORMANCE. Subtenant recognizes that Sublandlord is not in a position to
render any of the services or to perform any of the obligations required of
Master Landlord by the terms of the Master Lease. Therefore, despite anything
to the contrary in this Sublease, Subtenant agrees that performance by
Sublandlord of its obligations under this Sublease is conditioned on performance
by the Master Landlord of its corresponding obligations under the Master Lease,
and Sublandlord will not be liable to Subtenant for any default of the Master
Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall use its best efforts to
obtain performance by Master Landlord and will pursue any remedies available in
the Master Lease in the event of a default by Master Landlord.
3.6 LIMITATIONS ON SUBLANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Subtenant will not have
any claim against Sublandlord based on the Master Landlord's failure or refusal
to comply with any of the provisions of the Master Lease unless that failure or
refusal is a result of Sublandlord's act or failure to act. Sublandlord shall
promptly pursue any
Page 3 of 12
remedies available under the Master Lease to ensure Subtenant's quiet enjoyment.
Despite the Master Landlord's failure or refusal to comply with any of those
provisions of the Master Lease, this Sublease will remain in full force and
effect and Subtenant will pay the base rent and additional rent and all other
charges provided for in this Sublease without any abatement, deduction or
setoff. Except as expressly provided in this Sublease, Subtenant agrees to be
subject to, and bound by, all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions,
and conditions of the Master Lease, as though Subtenant was the Tenant under the
Master Lease.
4. TERM. The term of this Sublease shall commence at 12:01 a.m. on
February 28, 2000 and end at 12:00 midnight on May 11, 2002 unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
5. RENT.
5.1 BASE RENT. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Base Rent equal
monthly payments of $35,181.33 in advance, on the first day of each month of be
term hereof. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord upon the execution hereof
$35,181.33 as Base Rent for March 2000. Base Rent for any period during the
term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the
monthly installment. Also due on execution of the Sublease will be Base Rent
and Parking Costs for February 28 and 29 for a total of $2,440.52. Sublandlord
shall continue to pay rent to Master Landlord in accordance with the terms of
the Master Lease.
5.2 PARKING COST. In addition to the Base Rent described in Section
4.1, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord
the amounts required for the parking spaces as described in Section 22 of the
Master Lease (the "PARKING COST").
5.3 EXCESS OPERATING EXPENSE. Subtenant shall also pay to
Sublandlord, in addition to the Base Rent and the Parking Cost, the amount by
which the "OPERATING EXPENSES" as defined and calculated according to Section 4
of the Master Lease for each year, or portion thereof, during the term of this
Sublease
Page 4 of 12
exceeds the actual Operating Expenses for the Premises for calendar year 2000
(the "2000 OPERATING EXPENSES"). For calendar years 2001 and 2002, Sublandlord
shall notify Subtenant of the Master Landlord's estimate of the Sublandlord's
pro rata share of the Operating Expenses for such calendar years, and to the
extent that the estimated Operating Expenses allocable to Sublandlord for the
Premises is greater than the 2000 Operating Expenses for the Premises (the
"EXCESS OPERATING EXPENSES"), Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord monthly in
advance at the rate of 1/12 of the Excess Operating Expenses on the same date
and at the same place as the Base Rent is payable, with an adjustment to be made
between the parties at a later date to the extent that actual Excess Operating
Expenses are greater or less than the Excess Operating Expenses calculated with
Landlord's estimate of the Operating Expenses. If, at the beginning of calendar
year 2001, 2000 Operating Expenses have not been finally determined, Subtenant
shall initially pay to Sublandlord in advance at the rate of 1/12 per month the
amount by which the estimated Operating Expenses for calendar year 2001 exceed
the estimated operating expenses for calendar year 2000 (the "Estimated 2000
Operating Expenses"). After Sublandlord has received the notice from Master
Landlord setting forth the actual 2000 Operating Expenses, Sublandlord shall
send a notice to Subtenant setting forth the determination of the actual amount
of the 2000 Operating Expenses and a calculation of any overpayment or
underpayment by Tenant of Excess Operating Expenses. If the 2000 Operating
Expenses are greater than the Estimated 2000 Operating Expenses so that
Subtenant has overpaid Excess Operating Expenses, Sublandlord shall credit any
excess amounts paid by Subtenant against the monthly Base Rent next payable by
Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder. If the 2000 Operating Expenses are less than
the Estimated 2000 Operating Expenses so that Subtenant has underpaid the Excess
Operating Expenses, Subtenant shall pay the amount of the underpayment to
Sublandlord within ten (10) days of Subtenant's receipt of the notice from
Sublandlord setting forth the determination of the actual amount of 2000
Operating Expenses and the calculation of the amount of the underpayment. After
determination of the 2000 Operating Expenses, and the adjustment described
hereinafter, for the balance of the calendar year 2001, Subtenant shall pay to
Landlord in advance at the
Page 5 of 12
rate of 1/12 per month the amount by which the estimated Operating Expenses for
2001 exceed the 2000 Operating Expenses. Thereafter, if Sublandlord receives a
notice of adjustment from Master Landlord that indicates that the actual
Operating Expenses for a calendar year during the term are greater or less than
the estimated Operating Expenses so that Subtenant has underpaid or overpaid
Excess Operating Expenses, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of the amount of
the actual Operating Expenses, including a copy of Master Landlord's notice and
a calculation of any underpayment or overpayment by Subtenant of the Excess
Operating Expenses. If the actual Excess Operating Expenses are greater than
previously paid by Subtenant, Subtenant shall pay such amount to Sublandlord
within ten (10) days of Subtenant's receipt of the notice from Sublandlord. If
the actual Excess Operating Expenses are less than previously paid by Subtenant,
Sublandlord shall credit any excess amounts paid by Subtenant against the
monthly Base Rent next payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder or, if the
adjustment occurs after the last payment by Subtenant to Sublandlord of Base
Rent, Sublandlord shall pay to Subtenant the excess amounts paid by Subtenant
subject to offset for any amounts that may be owed by Subtenant to Sublandlord.
5.4 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Subtenant to
Sublandlord under the terms of this Sublease (except for the Security Deposit)
including, without limitation, the Parking Costs and the Excess Operating
Expenses, are deemed to be rent ("RENT"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money
of the United States to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such
other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing.
5.5 INDEMNIFICATION BY SUBLANDLORD. In the event of a default by
Sublandlord as tenant under the Master Lease which results in Subtenant being
required to pay rent directly to Master Landlord in order to be able to continue
to occupy the Premises, Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant
from the difference between the amount of the Base Rent payable by Sublandlord
to Master Lessor under the Master Lease and the Base Rent payable by Subtenant
to
Page 6 of 12
Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall further indemnify Subtenant in such event
with respect to Operating Expenses up to the amount of the 2000 Operating
Expenses.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord upon
execution hereof $35,000.00 as security for Subtenant's obligations hereunder.
If Subtenant fails to pay Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise
defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease or the Master Lease,
Sublandlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Sublandlord may become obligated by reason of Subtenant's default,
or to compensate Sublandlord for any loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer
thereby. If Sublandlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit,
Subtenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor forward to
Sublandlord an amount sufficient to restore said Deposit to the full amount
provided for herein and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach
of this Sublease. Sublandlord shall not be required to keep said Deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Subtenant performs all of Subtenant's
obligations hereunder, said Deposit, or so much thereof as has not therefor been
applied by Sublandlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest, to
Subtenant at the expiration of the term hereof after Subtenant has vacated the
Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Sublandlord and
Subtenant with respect to said Security Deposit.
7. USE.
7.1 AGREED USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for
general or executive offices, or both and for no other purpose.
7.2 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND TENANT. Subtenant acknowledges that:
(a) It has been advised to satisfy itself with respect to the
condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and
fire
Page 7 of 12
sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with
applicable laws), and their suitability for Subtenant's intended use.
(b) Subtenant has made such investigation as it deems necessary
with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the
same relate to its occupancy of the Premises.
(c) Neither Sublandlord, Sublandlord's agents, nor any broker
has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said
matters other than as set forth in this Sublease.
(d) Subtenant accepts the Premises "AS IS" with all faults.
8. CONSENT OF MASTER LANDLORD REQUIRED UNDER MASTER LEASE. Section 14 of
the Master Lease requires that Sublandlord obtain the consent of Master Landlord
to any subletting by Sublandlord. Therefore, this Sublease shall not be
effective unless Master Landlord consents to this Subletting. Further, this
Sublease shall only be effective if Master Landlord does not terminate the
Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises and recapture the Subleased
Premises within fourteen (14) days after Sublandlord provides Master Landlord
with a written notice of Sublandlord's intent to sublease the Subleased Premises
