the Building are hereinafter called the "Real Property" or the "Property".
In consideration thereof, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as

Term of the Lease has commenced, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the
Commencement Date and Termination Date of the Lease in the form of the Lease
Term Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT C. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may enter the Premises commencing December 26, 1998, for Tenant's
installation of furniture, phones and equipment. Tenant's entry of the Premises
during such period prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all terms

deemed to advance the Commencement or Termination Dates of the Lease.
2. BASE RENT. Subject to adjustment as herein provided, the Base
Rent to be paid hereunder shall be ________ per annum which shall be paid in
advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term, in
equal monthly installments of ___________ PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Tenant shall

Base Rent for the portion of the month in which the Term commences shall be paid
on the first day of the first full month of the Term.
1.
3. COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall have no obligation for
the completion or remodeling of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the
Premises in their "as is" condition on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord agrees at its sole cost and expense, to: (i) clean the
carpet currently existing in the Premises by the later of December 28, 1998 or
the Scheduled Commencement Date; (ii) construct prior to July 1, 1999, a common
area corridor adjacent to the seventh floor elevator to provide an entry way to
the Premises; and (iii) install demising walls for the Premises, as the seventh
floor of the Building was previously occupied by a full floor tenant. If Tenant
elects to install any improvements in the Premises, such improvements shall be
carried out pursuant to Section 8 of this Lease.
4. ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in
Paragraph 2 hereof, Tenant shall pay as "additional rent", the amounts
determined as hereinafter set forth in this Paragraph 4. The Base Rent and
additional rent are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "rent".
All amounts due under this lease as additional rent shall be payable in the same
manner and at the same place as the Base Rent.
(a) DEFINITIONS. As used in this Paragraph 4, the terms:
(i) OPERATING EXPENSE BASE AMOUNT. Operating Expense
Base amount shall mean $5.20 per rentable square foot per annum.
(ii) TAX BASE AMOUNT. Tax Base Amount shall mean $1.40
per rentable square foot per annum. But in no event shall the combined
Operating Expense Base Amount and Tax Base Amount be less than $6.60 per
rentable square foot.
(iii) CALENDAR YEAR. Calendar Year shall mean each
calendar year in which any part of the Term falls, through and including the
year in which the Term expires.
(iv) TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE. Tenant's
Proportionate Share shall mean 0.82% being the percentage calculated by dividing
4,215 square feet, the rentable area of the Premises provided at the beginning
of this Lease, by 514,000 square feet (being 95% of the rentable all of the
office space in the Building). The rentable area of the Premises has been
calculated according to a method pursuant to which a portion of the common areas
has been deemed included in the Premises.
(v) TAXES. Taxes for any Calendar Year shall mean the
Building's Proportionate Tax Share of all real estate taxes and assessments,
special or otherwise, levied or assessed upon that parcel of land known as Lots
I through 32 inclusive and adjacent vacated alley, block 95, East Denver
Subdivision (the "LAND") and/or the building during such Calendar Year;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Landlord subdivides the Land so that the Building is
located on its own tax lot (i.e., there are no other buildings on such tax lot),
then (1) such separate tax lot shall be referred to as the "BUILDING TAX LOT",
and (2) for each year that the Building Tax Lot is taxed separately from the
remainder of the Land, the term "Taxes" shall mean all real estate taxes and
assessments, special or otherwise, levied or assessed upon the Building Tax Lot
and/or the Building during such Calendar Year. For purposes of this
subparagraph "Buildings Proportionate Tax Share" for any Calendar Year shall
mean the fraction the numerator of which is equal to the assessed valuation for
the Building only for such Calendar Year and the
2.
denominator of which is equal to the sum of the assessed valuations for all
buildings and improvements on the Land (including the Building) for such
Calendar Year. Should the State of Colorado, or any political subdivision
thereof, or any other governmental authority, impose a tax, assessment, charge
or fee, which Landlord shall be required to pay, wholly or partially in
substitution of any of the above Taxes, all such taxes, assessments, fees or
charges shall be deemed to constitute Taxes hereunder but shall be computed as
if the Real Property and any other shared use real property referred to in this
subparagraph were the only real property of Landlord. "Taxes" shall also
include all fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisals
and consultants' fees, incurred by Landlord in seeking to obtain a reduction of,
or a limit on, any increase in any Taxes (regardless of whether any reduction or
limitation is obtained). In the event that the Real Property shall be for any
taxes or assessments assessed under the same assessment as other real property,
the amount of such taxes or assessment to be included within Taxes shall be such
portion thereof as Landlord fairly and equitably shall deem attributable
thereto,
(vi) OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating Expenses shall mean
all expenses, costs and disbursements (other than Taxes) of every kind and
nature paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the
ownership, management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Property (and,
as allocated by Landlord, those paid or incurred in connection with the
ownership, operation, maintenance, management and repair of any garage or other
improvements the use of which is shared by the Building and one or more other
buildings) except the following:
(1) costs of alterations of any tenant's
premises;
(2) principal or interest payments on loans
secured by mortgages or trust deeds on the Real Property;
(3) costs of capital improvements, except that
Operating Expenses shall include the costs as amortized over such number of
years as Landlord may reasonably determine, with interest at the rate of 12% per
annum on the unamortized amount, of any capital improvements which, (1) in
Landlord's reasonable opinion, will have the effect of reducing any component
cost included within Operating Expenses, (2) are made or installed to assure
compliance with all governmental rules and regulations applicable from time to
time, or (3) under generally applied real estate accounting practices may be
expensed or treated as deferred expenses (and the amortization and interest so
determined for each Calendar Year shall be included in Operating Expenses for
that Calendar Year); and
(4) leasing commissions for space in the
Building.
(b) EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT.
(i) Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each
Calendar Year, that amount ("EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") which is Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Operating Expenses incurred with
respect to such Calendar Year exceed the Operating Expense Base Amount;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in determining the amount of Operating Expenses for each
Calendar Year, if less than 95% of the rentable office area of the
3.
Building shall have been occupied at any time during such Calendar Year,
Operating Expenses shall be deemed for such Calendar Year to be in the amount
reasonably determined by Landlord to be equal to that amount of like expenses
which normally would be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been 95%
throughout such Calendar Year.
(ii) The Expense Adjustment Amount with respect to each
Calendar Year shall be paid in monthly installments, in advance on the first day
of each calendar month during the course of such year, in amounts estimated from
time to time by Landlord and communicated by written notice to Tenant. Landlord
shall cause to be kept books and records showing Operating Expenses in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Following the close
of each Calendar Year, Landlord shall cause the amount of the Expense Adjustment
Amount for such Calendar Year to be computed based on Operating Expenses for
such Calendar Year, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of such
amount; thereupon Tenant shall pay any deficiency as shown by such statement to
Landlord within 30 days after receipt of such statement. If the total of the
estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year exceed
the actual Expense Adjustment Amount due from Tenant for such Calendar Year,
then, at Landlord's option, such excess shall be either credited against
payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord, provided Tenant is not then
in default hereunder.
(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR SERVICES NOT RENDERED. If Landlord shall
not be furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if
furnished by Landlord would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who
undertakes to itself perform or obtain such work or service in lieu of the
furnishing thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed for purposes
of this Paragraph 4 to be increased by an amount equal to the additional
Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined by Landlord, which would have been
incurred during such period if Landlord had at its own expense furnished such
work or service to such tenant.
(d) TAX ADJUSTMENT. Tenant shall pay as additional rent for
each Calendar Year that amount (the "TAX ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") which is Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes incurred with respect to
such Calendar Year exceed the Tax Base Amount. The Tax Adjustment Amount with
respect to each Calendar Year shall be paid in monthly installments, in an
amount estimated from time to time by Landlord and communicated by written
notice to Tenant. Following the close of each Calendar Year, Landlord shall
cause the amount of the Tax Adjustment Amount for such Calendar Year to be
computed based on Taxes for such Calendar Year and Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant a statement of such amount and Tenant shall pay any deficiency as shown
by such statement to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of such statement.
If the total of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any
Calendar Year exceeds the actual Tax Adjustment Amount due from Tenant for such
Calendar Year, then, at Landlord's option such excess shall be either credited
against payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord, provided Tenant is
not then in default hereunder. The amount of any refund of Taxes received by
Landlord shall be credited against Taxes for the year in which such refund is
received. In determining the amount of Taxes for any year, the amount of
special assessments to be included shall be limited to the amount of the
installment (plus any interest payable thereon) of such special assessment
required to be paid during such year as if the Landlord had elected to have such
special assessment paid over the maximum
4.
period of time permitted by law; if the authority to whom such assessment is to
be paid shall not permit such assessment to be paid in installments, the amount
of such assessment shall be treated as being amortized over such number of
calendar years, beginning with the Calendar Year in which the assessment is
payable, as Landlord shall reasonably determine, with interest at the rate of
15% per annum on the unamortized amount, and such amortization and interest for
each Calendar Year shall be included in Taxes for that Calendar Year.
(e) PARTIAL YEAR. If only part of any Calendar Year shall fall
within the Term, the amounts computed as additional rent, with respect to such
Calendar Year under the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall be
prorated in proportion to the portion of such Calendar Year falling within the
Term, but the expiration or termination of this Lease prior to the end of such
Calendar Year shall not impair the Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such
prorated portion of such additional rent with respect to that portion of such
year falling within the Term.
(f) DISPUTES. Any statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord
under the provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall constitute a final determination
as between Landlord and Tenant as to the rent set forth therein due from Tenant
for the period represented thereby, unless Tenant, within 60 days after such
statement is furnished, shall give a notice to Landlord that it disputes the
correctness thereof, specifying in detail the basis for such assertion. Pending
resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall pay all disputed amounts in accordance
with the statement furnished by Landlord. Landlord agrees, upon prior written
request, during normal business hours to make available for Tenant's inspection,
at Landlord's offices, Landlord's books and records which are relevant to any
items in dispute, provided Tenant has paid all amounts billed to Tenant on
account of the Expense Adjustment Amount and the Tax Adjustment Amount and all
installments thereof and all other rents and sums then and previously due under
this Lease.
(g) PLACE OF PAYMENT. Tenant shall, without any demand
therefor and without set-off, pay to DENVER-STELLAR ASSOCIATES LTD. PARTNERHSIP,
X/X XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXX, XXXXXXXX 00000-0000, or to such other person and/or at
such other place as Landlord may from time to time direct by notice given to
Tenant, the Base Rent as well as all other sums which may become due by Tenant
under this Lease. All such other sums shall be payable as additional rent.

notwithstanding, Tenant shall, upon demand from time to time, as additional
rent, pay to Agent or, as Landlord may direct, to Landlord or to the tax
collecting authority, the full amount of all taxes, levies, charges and

collected from Tenant or a subtenant or occupant of the Premises. Tenant hereby
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all
loss, cost, liability and expenses (including counsel fees and costs of
litigation) which Landlord may suffer, incur or be exposed to as a result of any
assertion against Landlord of
5.
liability for any of the taxes referred to in this subparagraph (h), and from
and against any penalties or interest relating thereto, which Tenant fails to
pay pursuant hereto.
(ii) Tenant shall timely pay when due all taxes, levies,
charges and assessments which are required to be paid by Tenant with respect to
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or which are or could become a lien
upon the personal property, trade fixtures, furniture or facilities of Tenant on
the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense (including,
without limitation, counsel fees and costs of litigation) which Landlord may
suffer or incur, or to which Landlord may be exposed, as a result of Tenant's
failure to pay any of the foregoing.

are due, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord official receipts for the payment of
all taxes due with respect to the personal property, trade fixtures, furniture
or facilities of Tenant on the Premises. In addition, within 15 days after
written notice from Landlord to do so, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord official

thereon in accordance with law, and Landlord shall, upon demand, be entitled to
reimbursement for all of such payments together with interest at the "Lease
Interest Rate" (defined in Paragraph 21 hereof.

purposes of personal property taxes are treated as personal property (such as
built-in cabinets, counters and partitions) to be assessed separately from
Landlord's property, and, if they are not so separately assessed, Landlord shall
be entitled to reimbursement, within 10 days after demand made from time to
time, for any tax payable by Landlord which is attributable to any of such items
taxable as personal property.
(i) DELAY IN COMPUTATION. Delay in computation of the Expense
Adjustment Amount or Tax Adjustment Amount shall not be deemed a default
hereunder or a waiver of Landlord's right to collect any of such amounts.
5. USE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely
as a general business office and for no other purpose.
6. CONDITION OF PREMISES. The Tenant's taking possession of the

7. SERVICES.
(a) LIST OF SERVICES. Landlord shall provide the following
services on all days during the Term, except Sundays and holidays, unless
otherwise stated:
(i) Heating, ventilation and air conditioning, as deemed
appropriate by Landlord, from Monday through Friday within the period from 6: 00
a. m. to 6: 00 p. m. and on Saturday within the period from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m., holidays excepted. Tenant, within ten
7.
days after its receipt of each xxxx therefor, will pay for all heating,
ventilating and air conditioning requested and furnished at other times, at
rates to be established from time to time by Landlord, which rates shall not
exceed landlord's actual costs of labor and utilities plus a reasonable
administration fee. Landlord shall not be responsible for the failure of the
HVAC system to provide normal comfort if such failure results from occupancy of
the Premises by more than an average of one person for each 000 xxxxxx xxxx xx
xxxxx xxxx or if Tenant uses heat-producing equipment or equipment the
electrical load of which, when combined with the load of all lighting fixtures,
exceeds 4.2 xxxxx per square foot of floor area in any one room or area. Unless
otherwise consented to by Landlord, window coverings shall be uniform in the
Building and shall be closed when exterior office windows are exposed to the sun
without regard to Tenant's specific use of the space or to the installation of
any computers or data processing equipment. In addition, if the Premises are
used in a manner exceeding the aforementioned occupancy and electric load
criteria or if such window covering requirement shall not be observed or if
heat-producing or controlled climate equipment is used, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, promptly upon billing, Landlord's additional costs of supplying air
conditioning resulting from such causes, at such rates as Landlord shall
establish therefor, which rates shall not exceed Landlord's actual additional
costs related thereto plus a reasonable administration fee. If due to use of
the Premises in a manner exceeding the aforementioned occupancy and electrical
load criteria, or due to the arrangement of partitioning, or the use of
heat-producing or controlled climate equipment, or the distribution system
within the Premises, impairment of normal operation of the HVAC system in the
Premises results, necessitating changes in HVAC distribution system within the
Premises, such changes may be made by Landlord upon request by Tenant at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, provided that they can be accommodated by
Landlord's systems. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord
and to abide by all the regulations and requirements which Landlord may
prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC system. After
Landlord has balanced the air-conditioning system for Tenant, if Tenant installs
partitions, equipment, or fixtures requiring rebalancing of the system, Landlord
at Tenant's request and at Tenant's expense (which shall be charged as
additional rent payable upon demand) shall endeavor to do such rebalancing.
(ii) Subject to subparagraph 7(b) hereof, electrical
energy for standard building lighting fixtures provided by Landlord and for the
operation of desk-top office equipment, provided that (A) the connected
electrical load of such equipment (exclusive of standard building lighting
fixtures) does not exceed an average of 2.5 xxxxx per square foot of the
Premises and (13) the electricity so furnished for equipment uses will be at a
nominal 120 volts and no electrical circuit for the supply of such use need have
a current capacity exceeding 20 amperes. If Tenant's requirements for
electricity are in excess of those set forth in the preceding sentence, and if,
in Landlord's sole judgment, Landlord's facilities are inadequate for such
additional requirements and if electrical energy for such additional
requirements is available to Landlord, Landlord upon written request and at the
sole cost and expense of Tenant, will furnish and install, or, at Landlord's
sole discretion, permit Tenant to furnish and install, such additional wires,
risers, conduits, feeders and switchboards as reasonably may be required to
supply such additional requirements of Tenant provided (1) that the same shall
be permitted by applicable laws and insurance regulations, (2) that, in
Landlord's sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause permanent
damage or injury to the Building or the Premises or cause or create a dangerous
or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or
repairs or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants of the Building,
(3) that, in Landlord's sole
8.
judgment, the same will not in any way diminish or adversely affect the
electricity which Landlord deems should remain available for other tenants, and
(4) that Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall, concurrently with the making of
such written request, execute and deliver to Landlord, Tenant's written
undertaking, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, obligating Tenant
to fully and promptly pay the entire cost and expense of so furnishing and
installing any additional wires, risers, conduits, feeders and/or switchboards.
(iii) Ordinary water from the regular Building outlets for
drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes.
(iv) Janitorial services Monday through Friday in and
about the Premises (except holidays). If any material use made of the Premises
after 6:00 p.m. shall by reason of work force scheduling or security, overtime,
union rules or otherwise cause any increase, in Landlord's cost for providing
janitorial services, Tenant shall, as additional rent, pay all bills for
reimbursement of Landlord for such increase, within ten days after Tenant's
receipt of such xxxx. All janitorial services shall be performed solely at
Landlord's discretion without interference from Tenant.
(v) Automatic passenger elevator service at all times.
(vi) Freight elevator services subject to reasonable
scheduling by Landlord.
(b) BILLING FOR ELECTRICITY.
(i) LANDLORD'S PAYMENT FOR NORMAL SERVICE. Landlord
shall provide and pay for electric service as described in the first sentence of
subparagraph 7(a)(ii) during the period from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday
through Friday, and during the period from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday,
holidays excepted. In the event that Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion,
determines that Tenant's use of electricity exceeds the service to be provided
under the first sentence of subparagraph 7(a)(ii) above or goes materially
beyond the hours specified in this subparagraph 7(b)(i), Tenant shall pay, as
additional rent, such amounts for such excess and/or other hours use as shall be
required under subparagraph 7(b)(ii) and (iii) below.
(ii) MEASURED USAGE. In the event that Tenant's use of
the Premises includes the use of computers or other electrical equipment or
fixtures causing, in Landlord's sole determination, Tenant's use of electric
service to exceed the service to be provided under the first sentence of
subparagraph 7(a)(ii) above, or if there shall be at the Premises any other
hours (i.e. outside the hours specified in 7(b)(i)) use of electricity which
Landlord believes may be material, Landlord shall install in the Premises or
elsewhere, if Landlord shall so elect, or, if Tenant shall so request and if
feasible in Landlord's reasonable judgment, one or more meters or other devices
to measure the electricity used by such computers or other equipment or fixtures
and/or such other hours use; and Tenant shall pay Landlord for such electricity
within ten days after submission of each xxxx by Landlord therefor, at such
rates as shall be from time to time determined by Landlord, provided that the
rates charged by Landlord shall not exceed Landlord's cost (including, without
limitation, taxes, fuel adjustment charges, and other like charges regularly
passed on to customers by public utility companies and transformer costs) of
supplying
9.
such electricity as determined by Landlord using reasonable accounting methods;
and the cost of obtaining and installing such meters or other devices shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten days after submission of each xxxx by
Landlord to Tenant therefor.
(iii) ESTIMATED USAGE. For any other hours use of
electricity determined by Landlord to be material, and for any use of
electricity which is determined by Landlord to be in excess of the service to be
provided under the first sentence of subparagraph 7(a)(ii) above, and which is
not actually measured, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments at
the times prescribed for the monthly installments of the Base Rent, amounts, as
reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time, which Tenant would be
required to pay for such excess and/or other hours electrical service if the
same were actually measured as provided in subparagraph (b)(ii) above.
(c) INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall
not be liable for damages (by abatement of rent or otherwise) for failure to
furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution in the quality
or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in
whole or in part, by repairs, renewals, or improvements, by any strike, lockout
or other labor trouble, by inability to secure fuel, by governmental laws,
regulations or orders, by Landlord's compliance, in whole or in part with any
government promulgated program (whether voluntary or mandatory), for
conservation of energy by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default
of Tenant or other parties, or by any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable
control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to
constitute an eviction or disturbance of the Tenant's use and possession of the
Premises or relieve the Tenant from paying rent or performing any of its
obligations under this Lease. Landlord's obligation to furnish services shall
also be further conditioned upon the availability of adequate energy sources
from the public utility companies then servicing the downtown Denver area.
8. ALTERATIONS.
(a) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, make any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises. If
Landlord consents to any alterations, improvements or additions, it may impose
such conditions with respect thereto as Landlord deems appropriate, including,
without limitation, Landlord's approval of plans and specifications for the work
(but Tenant shall not be entitled to rely upon such approval as evidencing that
the plans and specifications are proper in any respect), use of Landlord's
approved contractors to perform the work (it being agreed that X.X. Xxxxxxx is
pre-approved by Landlord), insurance against liabilities which may arise out of
such work, permits necessary for such work and as-built drawings upon completion
of such work and the furnishing to Landlord of such security as is determined by
Landlord to be appropriate for the proper completion of such work and its
completion free of mechanics', materialmen's and similar liens or claims
thereof. Upon Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the
currently existing architectural, plumbing, mechanical and electrical "as-built"
drawings of the Premises. All work done by Tenant or its contractors shall be
done in a first-class workmanlike manner, using only good grades of materials
and without disturbing other tenants and shall comply with all insurance
requirements and all applicable laws or ordinances and rules and regulations of
governmental departments or agencies. Before proceeding with any such work,
Tenant shall reimburse
10.
Landlord for Landlord's costs of Landlord's architects' review of Tenant's plans
and specifications. Any work performed by or for Tenant shall be performed by
competent workmen whose labor union affiliations are compatible with those of
the workmen who may be employed in the Building by Landlord, its contractors or
subcontractors, and Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to directly
supervise the work, which supervision shall be for the protection of Landlord's
interest only.
(b) All alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant
and all fixtures attached to the Premises shall become the property of Landlord
and remain at the Premises or, at Landlord's option, Landlord may designate any
or all of the foregoing to be removed at the cost of Tenant before the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, by giving Tenant written notice
thereof at the time Landlord approves Tenant's plans for such alterations,
additions or improvements, and in such event Tenant shall repair all damage to
the Premises caused by the installation and/or removal thereof. Tenant shall
not permit or suffer any signs advertisements or notices to be displayed,
inscribed upon or affixed on any pan of the outside or inside of the Premises,
or in the Building, except on the entrance doors of the Premises, and then only
of such size, color and style as Landlord may approve, Landlord shall have the
right to remove unauthorized signs at Tenant's expense.
9. LIENS.
(a) Tenant shall not permit there to be filed against the
Property or Landlord's interest therein or any part of either, and shall within
ten days after Tenant has notice of the claim or lien, remove or have removed,
any mechanics', or materialmen's or other lien, or claim thereof, filed by
reason of work, labor, services or materials provided for or at the request of
Tenant (other than work, labor, services or materials provided by the Landlord)
or any subtenant or occupant or for any contractor or subcontractor employed by
Tenant or any subtenant or occupant, and shall exonerate, protect, defend and
hold free and harmless Landlord against and from any and all such claims or
liens. Without limitation of the foregoing, if any such claim or lien be filed,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge it either by paying the
amount claimed to be due in the claim or lien or by procuring the discharge of
such lien or claim by deposit or by bonding proceedings. Any amount so paid by
Landlord and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees, in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the
Lease Interest Rate (hereinafter defined) from the respective dates of
Landlord's making of the payments and incurring of the costs and expenses, shall
constitute additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord on demand.
(b) At least ten days before the commencement of any work
ordered by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the proposed
work and of the names and addresses of the persons supplying labor and materials
for the proposed work so that Landlord may avail itself of the provisions of
statutes such as C.R.S. 1973 38-22-105(2). During any such work on the
Premises, Landlord, or its representatives, shall have the right to go upon and
inspect the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to
post and keep posted thereon notices such as those provided for by C.R.S. 1973
38-22-105(2) or to take any action that Landlord may deem advisable to protect
Landlord's interest in the Premises,
11.
10. INSURANCE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
(a) Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain with responsible
insurance companies acceptable to Landlord and qualified to do business in
Colorado, general comprehensive public liability insurance against claims for
personal injury (including death) and property damage, arising from occurrences
in, on and about the Premises, with coverage on an occurrence basis in all cases
of not less than a combined single limit of $3,000,000.00 per occurrence.
Landlord shall be designated a named insured in the policies for such insurance,
which shall contain endorsements providing that the naming of more than one
insured shall not operate to limit or void the coverage of any named insured
relating to claims by another named insured.
(b) Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain with responsible
insurance companies acceptable to Landlord and qualified to do business in
Colorado, "All Risk" or equivalent insurance upon all personal property upon the
Premises and all equipment, fixtures, additions, alterations and improvements
and betterments installed by or for Tenant upon the Premises, including, without
limitation, anything in the nature of a leasehold improvement, in an amount
which is at least 90% of the full replacement cost thereof, which insurance
shall name Landlord as a named insured and Landlord's mortgagees as mortgagees
under a standard mortgagee clause. In the event of damage or destruction to any
leasehold improvements, Tenant shall use the proceeds of such insurance to
repair or restore such leasehold improvements. If this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Paragraph 11(a) on account of damage by fire or other
casualty to the Building or the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to all of
the insurance proceeds payable under the aforesaid insurance relating to the
leasehold improvements and the Premises.
(c) Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the Term, and at
least 30 days prior to the expiration date of each policy, furnish to Landlord
certificates evidencing the coverage required hereinabove in this Paragraph and
the renewal thereof, which certificates shall state that such insurance coverage
may not be materially changed or cancelled without at least ten days prior
written notice to Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord
and Tenant each hereby release the other, its officers, directors, partners,
agents and employees (and Tenant hereby also releases Agent, its partners,
officers, directors, agents and employees), to the extent of the releasing
party's coverage under its insurance policies, from any and all liability for
any loss or damage which may be inflicted upon the property of such party,
notwithstanding that such loss or damage shall have arisen out of the negligence
of the other party, its partners, officers, directors, agents or employees;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this release shall be effective only with respect to
occurrences occurring during such time as the appropriate policy of insurance of
the party so releasing shall contain a clause to the effect that such release
shall not affect the said policy or the right of the insured to recover
thereunder.
11. FIRE OR CASUALTY.
(a) If the Premises or the Building (including machinery or
equipment used in the operation of the Building) shall be damaged by fire or
other casualty and if such damage does
12.
not render all or a substantial portion of the Premises or Building
untenantable, then Landlord shall repair and restore the same with reasonable
promptness, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays
caused by matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control. If any such damage
renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or Building untenantable,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease (with appropriate
prorations of rent being made for Tenant's possession subsequent to the date of
such damage of those tenantable portions of the Premises) upon giving written
notice to the Tenant at any time within 120 days after the date of such damage;
and if such notice is given Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or
restore. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to terminate this Lease by virtue of any delays in completion of such
repairs and restoration. Rent, however, shall xxxxx on those portions of the
Premise as are, from time to time, untenantable as a result of such damage.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth,
Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Paragraph 11 to repair or restore
any portion of any alterations, additions or improvements in the Premises or the
decorations thereto except to the extent that such alterations, additions,
improvements and decorations were provided by Landlord at the beginning of the
Term.
12. WAIVER OF CLAIMS; INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent not prohibited
by law Landlord, Agent and their respective officers, directors, partners,
agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for, and it and they are
hereby released by Tenant from all liability for, any damage either to person or
property or resulting from the loss of use thereof or any other loss, or any
death, sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant due to
the Property or any part thereof or any appurtenances thereof becoming out of
repair, or due to the happening of any accident or event in, on or about the
Property, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building
or of any other person, or to the extent due to Landlord's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. This provision shall apply particularly, but not
exclusively, to damage caused by gas, electricity, snow, frost, steam, sewage,
sewer gas or odors, fire, water or by the bursting or leaking of pipes, faucets,
sprinklers, plumbing fixtures and windows, and shall apply without distinction
as to the person (whether Landlord, Agent or other) whose act or neglect was
responsible for the damage and whether or not such act or neglect occurred
before, at or after the execution of this Lease, and whether the damage was due
to any of the causes specifically enumerated above or to some other cause of an
entirely different kind. Tenant further agrees that all personal property of
Tenant upon the Premises, or upon loading docks, receiving and holding areas, or
elsewhere in, on or about the Property, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and
that neither Landlord nor Agent, nor their partners, directors or officers,
shall be liable for any loss or damage thereto or theft thereof. Without
limitation of any other provisions hereof, Tenant agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify and save harmless Landlord and Agent, and their respective partners,
officers, directors and employees, from and against all liability to third
parties arising out of the acts or omissions of Tenant or any subtenant or the
servants, agents, employees, contractors, suppliers, workmen and invitees of
Tenant or any subtenant.
Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless, and upon request, defend,
Landlord, Agent, and their respective partners, directors, officers and
employees (herein called
13.
"INDEMNITIES") against and from any and all claims by or on behalf of any
person, arising out of or related to:
(a) Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or the conduct of
its business, or any activity, work, or thing, permitted or suffered by Tenant,
in, on or about the Premises or the Property;
(b) any occurrence in, on or about the Premises;
(c) any breach or default on Tenant's part in the performance
or observance of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or condition on
Tenant's part to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease; or
(d) any act or negligence of Tenant or any subtenant, or any of
their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or
licensees, whether or not the fault or negligence of Landlord, or of any other
indemnitee or of the agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or
licensees of Landlord or any indemnitee, (whether or not occurring before or
after the execution of this Lease), contributed thereto or was the cause
thereof, and from and against all costs, counsel fees, expenses, penalties,
fines and liabilities which Landlord or any other indemnitee may suffer or incur
in connection with any such claim and any action or proceeding brought with
respect thereto. In the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought by
reason of any such claim, against any party to be indemnified hereunder, Tenant
covenants that Tenant, upon notice from such party and at Tenant's expense,
shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such party.
13. NONWAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be
implied by any failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy on account of the
violation of such provision, even if such violation be continued or repeated
subsequently, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the
one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner
specifically stated. No receipt of moneys by Landlord or its agents from Tenant
after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the
Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any
notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given
Tenant prior to the receipt of such moneys, it being agreed that after the
service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for
possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any rent due, and
the payment and acceptance of payment of rent shall not waive or affect said
notice, suit or judgment.
14. CONDEMNATION. In the event that the whole of the Premises shall
be lawfully condemned or taken for a public or quasi-public use, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date that possession is to be surrendered to the
condemnor or taking authority. In the event that there shall be a lawful
condemnation or taking for any public or quasi-public use of any part of the
Building, without there being condemned or taken all of the Premises, then, at
the option of Landlord, exercisable by notice given to Tenant not later than 90
days after the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the taking or
condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the date that possession of the
Premises taken is required to be surrendered to the condemnor or taking
authority. In the event of any such taking or condemnation of all or any part
of the Premises or of all or any part of the Property, Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord and shall not have
14.
any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages
or paid as a result of such taking or condemnation; and all rights of Tenant to
damages therefor are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord and Tenant shall have
no claim against Landlord or the condemnor for the value of the unexpired term
of this Lease. HOWEVER, the foregoing provisions of this section shall not be
construed to deprive Tenant of the right to claim and receive payment from the
condemnor or taking authority for moving and related expenses as long as such
claim or the payment thereof does not reduce the award which Landlord would
otherwise be entitled to receive. In the event of any such taking or
condemnation of part of the Premises, the Base Rent, the Tax Adjustment and the
Operating Expense Adjustment shall be proportionately reduced from the date that
possession is required to be surrendered to the condemnor or taking authority.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld in the
case of an assignment or subletting), (a) assign, convey or mortgage this Lease
or any interest hereunder; (b) suffer to occur or permit to exist any assignment
of this Lease, or any lien upon Tenant's interest hereunder, whether
voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law; (c) sublet the Premises or
any part thereof, or (d) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other
than Tenant and its employees. Any such action on the part of Tenant without
Landlord's consent, shall be void and of no effect. Landlord's consent to any
assignment, subletting or transfer or Landlord's election to accept any
assignee, subtenant or transferee as the tenant hereunder and to collect rent
from such assignee, subtenant or transferee shall not release Tenant or any
subsequent tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease. Landlord's
consent to any assignment, subletting or other act or occurrence requiring
Landlord's consent shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold
its consent to any future assignment, subletting or act or occurrence requiring
Landlord's consent. Without limitation of the circumstances in which Landlord's
withholding of consent to an assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonable,
it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if the
reputation, financial responsibility, or business of the proposed assignee or
subtenant is unsatisfactory to Landlord, or if Landlord deems such business to
be not consonant with that of other tenants in the Building, or if the intended
use by the proposed assignee or subtenant conflicts with any commitment made by
Landlord to any other tenant in the Building, or if in Landlord's judgment the
assignment or subletting will have financial consequences adverse to Landlord's
interest, or if the proposed assignee or subtenant shall be (i) a government or
any subdivision or agency thereof, (ii) a school, college, university or
educational institution of any type, whether for profit or non-profit or (iii)
an employment, recruitment or temporary help service or agency or (iv) an
existing or former tenant of the Project or any affiliate or guarantor thereof
who defaulted under any of its lease obligations to Landlord or any affiliate of
Landlord.
At least 15 days prior to any proposed subletting or assignment, Tenant
shall submit to Landlord a statement seeking Landlord's consent and containing
the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the terms of the
proposed sublease or assignment (including, without limitation, the date upon
which the assignee or subtenant is to take possession) and such financial and
other information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord
reasonably may request. Landlord shall indicate its consent or non-consent
within 11 days of its receipt of said statement.
15.
Contemporaneously with any request or proposal by tenant to sublet or
assign any part of this Lease, Tenant shall pay up to $750.00 of all costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord or anticipated to be
incurred by Landlord, in connection with Landlord's investigation of any
financial or other information of the proposed assignee or subtenant. Landlord
may require that all or a portion of the costs or anticipated costs be paid in
advance by Tenant. The payment of such costs shall not obligate Landlord in any
way to consent to any proposed assignment or subletting nor shall the amount of
costs paid by Tenant be applied or used as a set-off to any amounts due or to
become due by Tenant to Landlord.
In addition to withholding its consent, Landlord shall have the
additional right, exercisable within such 15 day period, to terminate this Lease
in its entirety (where Tenant seeks to assign this Lease or sublet the entire
Premises) or as to that portion of the Premises which Tenant seeks to sublet
(where Tenant seeks to sublet only a portion of the Premises). Landlord may
exercise such right to terminate by giving written notice to Tenant at any time
prior to Landlord's written consent to such assignment or sublease. In the
event that Landlord exercises such right to terminate, the termination shall be
effective as of such date as Landlord may specify in its notice which shall not
be later than the later of (i) the proposed date for possession by such assignee
or subtenant, or (ii) 90 days after the date of Landlord's notice of termination
to Tenant. Further, to the extent Landlord elects to exercise its termination
rights as set forth above and Tenant has improved the Premises, Landlord shall
pay to Tenant on or before the date of termination with regard to the applicable
portion of the Premises, the unamortized costs of Tenant's improvements (based
on the square footage of the Premises being terminated) calculated by amortizing
the applicable Tenant's costs of the improvements over the term of the Lease.
The costs of Tenant's improvements shall be determined by Landlord's receipt of
third party contractor's invoices previously paid by Tenant (and marked "PAID IN
FULL" by the applicable contractor) and shall exclude any improvements,
alterations or additions which were not approved by landlord pursuant to the
terms of Paragraph 8 above or those items which Landlord notified Tenant would
be required to be removed at the end of the Term pursuant to said Paragraph 8.
If Landlord fails to exercise its termination right and its right to
withhold its consent as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord 50% of all profit derived by Tenant from the assignment or sublease.
Whenever requested by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a sworn
statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, setting
forth in detail the computation of profit (which computation shall be based upon
generally accepted accounting principles), and Landlord, or its representatives,
shall have access to the books, records and papers of Tenant in relation
thereto, and to make copies thereof. Any rent in excess of that paid by Tenant
hereunder by reason of such assignment or sub-lease shall be deemed an item of
such profit. Such percentage of Tenant's profits shall be paid to Landlord
promptly by Tenant upon Tenant's receipt from time to time of periodic payments
from such assignee or subtenant or at such other earlier time as Tenant shall
realize its profits from such assignment or sublease.
16. HOLDOVER. If the Tenant or any person claiming through the Tenant
shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term and if Landlord shall consent to such
continuation of possession, such possession shall be (unless the parties hereto
shall otherwise have agreed in writing) deemed to be under a month-to-
16.
month tenancy which shall continue until either party shall notify the other in
writing, at least 30 days prior to the end of any calendar month, that the party
giving such notice elects to terminate such tenancy at the end of such calendar
month, in which event such tenancy shall so terminate. Anything contained in
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, the
rental payable with respect to each such monthly period shall be 1/9 of the per
annum Base Rent and 1/12 of the Tax Adjustment Amount and of the Expense
Adjustment Amount (both calculated in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 4 hereof) which would have been payable had this Lease been renewed
until the end of the calendar year which includes such month on the terms and
conditions in effect immediately prior to the expiration or termination of the
Term; and such month-to-month tenancy with Landlord's consent shall be upon the
same terms and subject to the, same conditions as those which are set forth in
this Lease except as aforesaid. If Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant
shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof, after the
expiration or earlier termination of the term or of Tenant's right of
possession, and if such retention shall be without Landlord's consent, Tenant
shall pay Landlord (a) for each month or portion thereof during which such
possession continues, an amount equal to the rental to be paid for each month
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph when such possession is
with Landlord's consent, plus all other sums which would have been payable
hereunder had the term continued during such retention of possession and (b) all
other damages sustained by Landlord, whether direct or consequential, by reason
of such retention of possession. During any such retention of possession
without Landlord's consent, all of Tenant's obligations with respect to the use,
occupancy and maintenance of the Premises shall continue. The provisions of
this Paragraph shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other
rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law or in equity and
applicable to unlawful retention of possession or otherwise.
17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall from time to time, within ten
days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's request therefor, execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord a written instrument in recordable form (a) certifying
(i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified,
supplemented or amended in any way (or, if there have been modifications,
supplements or amendments thereto, that it is in full force and effect as
modified, supplemented or amended, and stating such modifications, supplements
and amendments) and that this Lease (as modified, supplemented or amended, as
aforesaid) represents the entire agreement among Landlord and Tenant as to the
Premises and the leasehold; (ii) the dates to which the Base Rent, additional
rent and other charges arising hereunder have been paid, (iii) the amount of any
prepaid rents or credits due to Tenant, if any; and (iv) that if applicable,
Tenant has entered into occupancy of the Premises; and (b) stating, to the best
knowledge of Tenant, whether or not all conditions under the Lease to be
performed by Landlord prior to the date of such certificate have been satisfied
and whether or not Landlord is then in default in the performance of any
covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and specifying, if any,
each such unsatisfied condition and each such default; and (c) stating any other
fact or certifying any other condition reasonably requested by Landlord or by
any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Property or of any
interest therein.
18. SUBORDINATION.
(a) This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to
the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, heretofore or hereafter placed by
Landlord on the Property or any part
17.
thereof and of all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof (all of which are hereinafter referred to collectively as a
"MORTGAGE"), all automatically and without the necessity of any further act on
the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant shall, at the
request of the holder of any such mortgage, upon foreclosure thereof attorn to
such holder. Tenant shall also execute, acknowledge and deliver, within 15 days
after Tenant's receipt of demand from Landlord or such holder, such other
instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of Tenant's right, title
and interest under this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, and such other
instrument or instruments of attornment, as shall be desired by such holder.
(b) Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this
Paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, any such holder may at any time
subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without the necessity of obtaining
Tenant's consent, by giving notice of the same in writing to Tenant, and
thereupon this Lease shall be deemed to be prior to such mortgage without regard
to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recordation and/or the date
of commencement of Tenant's possession, and in that event such holder shall have
the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease shall have been
executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of such
mortgage.
(c) If Landlord is or becomes lessee of premises of which the
Premises are a part, Tenant agrees that, automatically and without the necessity
of any further act, Tenant's possession shall be as a subtenant and shall be
subordinate to the interest of Landlord's lessor, its heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns (which lessor, its heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns, or any of them, is hereinafter called
"PARAMOUNT LESSOR"), but notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord's tenancy
shall terminate by expiration, by forfeiture or otherwise, then Tenant hereby
agrees, upon request of Paramount Lessor, to attorn to Paramount Lessor, and to
recognize such lessor as Tenant's landlord for the balance of the term of this
lease and any extensions or renewals hereof. Tenant shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver, upon demand by Landlord or Paramount Lessor, such other instrument
or instruments evidencing such subordination of Tenant's right, title and
interest under this Lease to the interest of such lessor, and such other
instrument or instruments of attornment, as shall be prescribed by such lessor.
19. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall have the
following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant
and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or
business on account of the exercise thereof, and the exercise of any such rights
shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or
possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or
abatement of rent or any other claim:
(a) to change the Building's name or street address;
(b) to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the
exterior and on the interior of the Building;
(c) to decorate or to make changes, repairs, alterations,
additions, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise (including
alterations in the configuration of, and
18.
elimination of, any common areas), in and about the Building and Property or any
part thereof, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises, and during the
continuance of any of said work, to temporarily close doors, entry ways, public
space and corridors in the Building and to interrupt or temporarily suspend
services or use of facilities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such changes,
repairs, alterations, additions or improvements shall not result in a material
adverse effect on Tenant's access to and use and occupancy of the Premises and
during the construction of the same, but Landlord shall endeavor to perform any
such work in or about the Premises so as to cause the minimum inconvenience to
Tenant practicable under the circumstances;
(d) to designate and approve all window coverings used in the
Building;
(e) to approve, disapprove or restrict the weight, size and
location of safes, vaults and other heavy equipment and articles in and about
the Premises and the Building so as not to exceed the live load per square foot
designated by the structural engineers for the Building, and to require all such
items and furniture and similar items to be moved into or out of the Building
and Premises only at such times and in such manner as Landlord shall direct in
writing. Tenant shall not install or operate machinery or any mechanical
devices of a nature not directly related to Tenant's ordinary use of the
Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant's movements of
property into or out of the Building or Premises and within the Building are
entirely at the risk and responsibility of Tenant, and Landlord reserves the
right to require permits before allowing any property to be moved into or out of
the Building or Premises;
(f) to establish controls for the purpose of regulating all
property and packages, both personal and otherwise, to be moved into or out of
the Building and Premises and all persons using the Building after normal office
hours;
(g) to regulate delivery and service of supplies in order to
insure the cleanliness and security of the Premises and to avoid congestion of
the loading docks, receiving areas and freight elevators;
(h) to show, after, to the extent able and as a courtesy,
providing Tenant with advance verbal notice, the Premises to prospective tenants
at reasonable hours during the last twelve months of the Term and, if vacated or
abandoned, to show the Premises at any time and to prepare the Premises for
re-occupancy;
(i) to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and
conduits, and appurtenances thereto, in and through the Premises at reasonable
locations; and
(j) to enter the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the
Premises.
20. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall, and shall cause all of its
subtenants and occupants, its and their agents, employees, invitees and
licensees to, observe faithfully, and comply strictly with, the rules and
regulations attached to this Lease as EXHIBIT B, as they may be supplemented and
revised by Landlord from time to time, and such other rules and regulations
promulgated from time to time by Landlord, as in the Landlord's judgment may be
desirable for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Building and the Premises,
or for the preservation of good order therein. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for violation of such rules and regulations
19.
by, or for Landlord's failure to enforce the same against, any other tenant, its
subtenants and occupants and its and their agents, employees, invitees or
licensees, nor shall any such violation or failure constitute, or be treated as
contributing to, an eviction, actual or constructive, or affect Tenant's
covenants and obligations hereunder, or allow Tenant to reduce, xxxxx or offset
the payment of any rent under this Lease.
21. REMEDIES.
(a) If default shall be made in the payment of any rent or any
installment thereof or in the payment of any other sum required to be paid by
Tenant under this Lease or under the terms of any other agreement between
Landlord and Tenant and such default shall continue for ten days, or if default
shall be made in the observance or performance of any of the other agreements,
covenants or conditions in this Lease (or in any other agreement between
Landlord and Tenant) which Tenant is required to observe and perform and such
default shall continue for fifteen (15) days after written notice of default to
Tenant, or if the interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be levied on under
execution or other legal process; or

substantial part of its property, or seeking the winding-up or liquidation of
its affairs and such involuntary case or petition is not dismissed within 60
days after the filing thereof, or if Tenant commences a voluntary case or
institutes proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consents to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, under the
Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency or other similar law, or consents to
the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver or liquidator or assignee,

creditors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due or fails to generally pay its debts as they become due or if Tenant
or its stockholders or board of directors or any committee thereof takes any
corporate action in contemplation, preparation or furtherance of or for any of
the occurrences, steps, procedures, proceedings or other items mentioned in this
subparagraph 21(b); or
(c) Any one or more of the foregoing events is a breach of this
Lease, and thereupon, at Landlord's option, Landlord may, without notice or
demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person, have any one or more of the
following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided at law or in equity or elsewhere herein:
(i) At the option of Landlord, the whole balance of
rent, charges and all other sums payable hereunder, whether or not payable as
rent, for the entire balance of the Term, and any renewal or extension thereof,
herein reserved or agreed to be paid by Tenant, or any part of such rent,
charges and other sums, and also all or any costs and sheriff's, marshall's,
constable's or other official's fees and charges, whether chargeable to Landlord
or Tenant, shall
20.
be taken to be due and payable from Tenant and in arrears as if by the terms of
this Lease said balance of rent, charges and other sums and expenses were on
that date payable in advance; and/or
(ii) Landlord, by giving written notice to Tenant, may
terminate this Lease and the Term, in which event Landlord may immediately
repossess the premises by legal proceedings, force or otherwise; and/or
(iii) Landlord, by giving written notice to Tenant, may
terminate Tenant's right of possession and may immediately repossess the
Premises by legal proceedings, force or otherwise, without terminating this
Lease.
(iv) After reentry, retaking, repossessing or recovering
of the Premises, whether or not Landlord has terminated this Lease, Landlord
may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the same or any portion thereof
for such rent and upon such terms as shall be deemed advisable by Landlord; and
whether or not the Premises are relet, Tenant shall be liable for any loss of
rent for such period as would be the balance of the term of this Lease and any
renewals thereof plus the costs and expenses of reentry, retaking, repossession
and recovering, and of reletting and of redecorating, remodelling and making
repairs and alterations to the Premises for the purpose of reletting, the amount
of such liability to be computed monthly and paid by Tenant to Landlord at the
end of each month. Landlord shall in no event have any duty to relet the
Premises, nor shall any damages or other sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord
be reduced by any failure to relet the Premises or failure to collect the rent
from any reletting, Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents received by
Landlord in excess of the rents provided for in this Lease, Tenant agrees that
Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this
Paragraph 21 from time to time and that no suit or recovery of any portion due
Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any
amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. If Landlord
relets the Premises, such reletting shall not be considered a termination of
this Lease unless Landlord has given Tenant a notice wherein Landlord expressly
states that this Lease is terminated. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 21
shall be construed or interpreted to relieve Landlord of its obligation to
mitigate damages as provided under the laws of State of Colorado. Nothing
contained in this Paragraph 21 shall be construed as expanding the Landlord's
rights concerning acceleration of the Tenant's obligations.
(v) If Landlord shall terminate this Lease as provided
in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover
as damages the excess, if any, at the time of such termination, of the amount of
the Base Rent payable under this lease for the balance of the term of this Lease
(including, any extension options which have been exercised) over the then fair
rental value of the Premises for the same period, plus all costs and expenses of
Landlord caused by Tenant's default, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney's fees.
(vi) If any payment of rent or any other sum, or any part
of any such payment, to be made by Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall
become overdue for a period in excess of five days Tenant shall pay to Landlord
(x) a "late charge" of $.05 for each dollar so overdue, for the purpose of
defraying the expense incident to handling such overdue or delinquent payment,
and (y) interest on the overdue amount at the Lease Interest Rate (defined
21.
below) from the date when such payment was due until the date paid, but in no
event more than the amount or rate which is the maximum amount or rate Landlord
may lawfully charge in respect of Tenant in such circumstances under applicable
law. The "Base Interest Rate" shall mean the greater of 18% per annum or such
variable rate which is from time to time equal to 3% above the prime rate as
stated by Colorado National Bank, Denver, Colorado or its successor, or, in the
absence of there being a successor to Colorado National Bank, by such other bank
having an office in the City of Denver, as Landlord may from time to time
select. Nothing herein shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord
arising out of any default of Tenant by reason of Landlord's accepting any such
late charge or interest; the right to collect a late charge and interest is
separate and apart from any other rights or remedies of Landlord after default
by Tenant.
(vii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of its obligations
hereunder, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), in addition to any
other rights it may have in law or in equity, cure such default on behalf of
Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or
costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, together with interest at the Lease
Interest Rate from the dates of Landlord's incurring of costs or expenses.
(viii) All remedies available to Landlord hereunder and
otherwise available at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No
termination of this Lease nor taking or recovering possession of the Premises
shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or actions against Tenant for rent, for
charges, or for damages for the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein
contained, nor shall the bringing of any such action for rent, charges or breach
of term, covenant or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy or right for
the recovery of rent, charges or damages for such breach be construed as a
waiver or release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and to obtain
possession. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict and/or prompt
performance of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of this Lease or
any of them, and/or the acceptance of such performance thereafter shall not
constitute or be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to thereafter enforce
the same strictly according to the tenor thereof in the event of a continuing or
subsequent default.
(ix) Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 21 or any
other provision of this Lease to the contrary, this Lease shall not be
terminated by service upon Tenant of a notice from Landlord demanding payment of
rent or possession of the Premises following default by Tenant, or by any action
of Tenant to vacate the Premises following receipt of such a notice, unless the
notice served by Landlord includes a statement expressly terminating this Lease.
Further, Landlord reserves the right to receive payment of all unaccrued rent
for the balance of the Term originally contemplated under Paragraph 1 of this
Lease (and any extensions or renewals thereof to which Tenant shall have become
bound) following service of such a notice for payment or possession, or a notice
terminating this Lease for Tenant's default.
22. EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT. Tenant shall pay upon demand all
Landlord's costs, charges and expenses, including the fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred by
Landlord, whether or not suit is brought, in enforcing Tenant's obligations
hereunder or in collecting any amounts due from Tenant or any
22.
subtenant or assignee hereof or in enforcing any provision of this Lease or in
any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord
without the Landlord's fault to become involved or concerned or in reletting the
Premises or any portion thereof after default by Tenant.
23. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that Tenant, on
paying the rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved or
required and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of
the Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Term, peaceably
and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises free from interference by Landlord
or any person claiming by, from or under Landlord, subject, HOWEVER, to the
terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof.
24. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the sum of $6,673.75 (hereinafter referred to as
"COLLATERAL"), as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by
Tenant of each and every provision of this Lease and of all obligations of
Tenant hereunder. No interest shall be paid to Tenant on the Collateral and
Landlord may co-mingle the collateral with any other funds of Landlord.
If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may
use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Collateral for the payment of
(a) any rent or other sums of money which Tenant may not have paid when due, (b)
any sum expended by Landlord on Tenant's behalf in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease, and/or (c) any damages which Landlord may sustain or
sums which Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of Tenant's
default, including, without limitation, any damage or deficiency in or from the
reletting of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 21. The use, application or
retention of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not
prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this
Lease or by law (it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to
proceed against the Collateral) and shall not operate as a limitation on any
recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the
Collateral is used, applied or retained by Landlord for the purposes set forth
above, Tenant agrees, within ten days after the written demand therefor is made
by Landlord, to deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to
restore the Collateral to its original amount.
If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the provisions of
this Lease, the Collateral, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant
without interest after the expiration of the Term or upon any later date after
which Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the absence of evidence satisfactory
to Landlord of any permitted assignment of the right to receive the Collateral,
or of the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the same to the
original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of Tenant's interest in
this Lease or the Collateral. In such event, upon the return of the Collateral,
or the remaining balance thereof to the original Tenant, Landlord shall be
completely relieved of liability under this Paragraph 24 or otherwise with
respect to the Collateral.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage
its interest in the Property and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the
event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to
transfer or assign the Collateral to the transferee or mortgagee.
23.
Upon written acknowledgment of transferee's or mortgagee's receipt of such
Collateral, Landlord shall thereby be released by Tenant from all liability or
obligation for the return of such Collateral and Tenant shall look solely to
such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the Collateral.
The Collateral shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any
manner whatsoever by Tenant.
25. REAL ESTATE BROKER. Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt with
(and only with) Xxxxxxx Realty Corporation as Tenant's broker in connection with
this Lease and Amerimar Realty Management Co. -Colorado is acting as Landlord's
broker and Xxxxx X. X. Xxxx, Broker, Ltd., is acting as sub-agent for Landlord
in connection herewith, and that insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker
negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any commission in connection therewith.
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any claims, for a commission or other compensation in connection with this
Lease, made by any broker or finder other than the broker named above who claims
to have dealt with or communicated to Tenant in connection with this Lease,
provided that Landlord has not in fact retained such broker or finder.

Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that there is
sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the New Provider's
equipment and materials; (v) Landlord receives from the New Provider such

discretion, to compensate it for space used in the Building for the storage and
maintenance of the New Provider's equipment, for the fair market value of the
New Provider's access to the Building, and any costs which may be expected to be
incurred by Landlord; and (vi) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a
written agreement between Landlord and the New Provider, the form and content of
which are satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

Provider shall not be deemed a default or breach by Landlord of its obligation
under this Lease, and in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this
Lease or claim entitlement to rent abatement for Landlord's refusal to grant
Tenant's request for approval of a New Provider. The provisions of this Section
27 may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord and are not for the benefit of

crediting 1/12 of the total of Tenant's costs of the improvements (not to exceed
$50,580.00) against each of the next due 12 monthly Rent installments commencing
with the month following Landlord's receipt of invoices from Tenant evidencing
completion of, and Tenant's payment for, costs of the improvements and evidence
that the Premises are free of mechanics', materialmen's and similar liens or
claims thereof related to Tenant's completion of the improvements. Any costs of
the improvements in excess of the improvements allowance shall be at Tenant's
costs and expense and not subject to reimbursement by Landlord.
32. ADDITIONAL SPACE. Provided that this Lease shall be in full force
and effect and Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, Tenant shall have the
ability, exercisable by written notice to Landlord ("TENANT'S NOTICE") given on
or before April 30, 1999 to lease the approximately 6,219 rentable square feet
of space located adjacent to the Premises as such location is delineated on
EXHIBIT E attached hereto (the "ADDITIONAL SPACE"), which lease of the
Additional Space shall commence July 1, 1999. If Tenant leases the Additional
Space pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph, it shall be on all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including the annual Base Rent
rate. Accordingly, Tenant's annual Base Rent shall thereafter be increased by
$118,161.00 for a total annual Base Rent of $198,246.00 for the entirety of the
Premises (including the Additional Space), Tenant's monthly installments of Base
Rent shall increase to $16,520.50 for the entirety of the Premises (including
the Additional Space) and Tenant shall receive an improvement allowance for the
Additional Spare in the amount of $74,628.00, to be provided in the form of a
rent credit over the 12 month period commencing July, 1999, which improvement
allowance shall be used in the Additional Space
32.
pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 31 above. Further, the parties shall enter
into an amendment to this Lease, evidencing the addition of the Additional Space
to the Premises hereunder,
33. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If Tenant has failed to exercise its
option as to the Additional Space as provided above, and provided that this
Lease shall be in full force and effect and Tenant shall not be in default
hereunder, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first refusal (the "RIGHT
OF FIRST REFUSAL") on the Additional Space above described. If at any time
after April 30, 1999, Landlord shall desire to lease all or a part of the
Additional Space (whether or not as part of a larger space), as evidenced by the
issuance of a bona fide proposal to a third party by or on behalf of Landlord
covering the Additional Space, or Landlord's acceptance of a bona fide proposal
from a third party ("THIRD PARTY PROPOSAL"), Landlord shall first offer to lease
the Additional Space to Tenant, subject to the limitations provided below, by
giving written notice to Tenant. Such notice shall specify the amount of space
covered by the Third Party Proposal and the date on which the space under Third
Party Proposal is expected to be available for Tenant's lease. Within 5 days
after receiving Landlord's notice, Tenant shall give written notice of its
election to exercise the Right of First Refusal as to the Additional Space and
shall further specify any additional square footage covered in the Third Party
Proposal it wishes to lease; in no event, HOWEVER, may Tenant lease less than
the 6,219 square feet of Additional Space or be requested to lease more than the
6,219 square feet of Additional Space, even if the Third Party Proposal was for
less or more than the Additional Space. This Right of First Refusal shall
require Tenant to lease the Additional Space on the same terms and conditions
(including the same annual per square foot rental rate) included within the
Third Party Proposal; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if Tenant shall exercise the Right of
First Refusal on or prior to June 30, 1999, Landlord agrees that (with respect
to only the 6,219 rentable square feet identified on EXHIBIT E as the Additional
Space): (i) the annual Base Rent rate for the Additional Space shall not exceed
$19.00 per rentable square foot of the Additional Space and (ii) Tenant shall be
entitled to receive a tenant improvements allowance from Landlord for Tenant's
completion of improvements in the Additional Space subject to and in accordance
with Section 8 of this Lease, in an amount not to exceed $74,628.00 ($12.00 x
6,219 rsf), which tenant improvements allowance shall be in the form of a rent
credit, by crediting the 12 next due monthly Rent installments with 1/12 of the
improvements allowance each. If Tenant fails to exercise the Right of First
Refusal by delivering written notice to Landlord within such 5-day period,
Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal. Tenant shall
have no right to exercise the Right of First Refusal at any time that it is in
default under this Lease. If Tenant waived or is deemed to have waived its
Right of First Refusal, Landlord thereafter shall have the unfettered right to
lease any portion of the Additional Space to any party upon such terms and
conditions and for such period or successive periods of time as Landlord, in its
sole, subjective and absolute discretion, shall determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in
the event Landlord does not consummate a lease with a third party within 180
days of Tenant's waiver of its Right of First Refusal (provided Landlord is not
in ongoing lease negotiations with a third party) than Tenant's Right of First
Refusal shall be reinstated. Tenant's Right of First Refusal shall be subject
and subordinate to any renewal rights, expansion options, right of first refusal
and rights of first offer previously granted by Landlord to Sprint.
34. TERMINATION OPTION. Provided that Tenant has not exercised its
expansion option (as set forth in Section 32 above) or its Right of First
Refusal (as set forth in Section 33 above), with respect to the Additional Space
and subject to the other conditions herein set forth,
33.
Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease ("TERMINATION OPTION") effective as of
the last day of the calendar month occurring 120 days after Tenant gives
Landlord written notice of its desire to terminate (the "EARLY TERMINATION
DATE"), which notice of termination must be actually received by Landlord
between May 1, 1999 and June 30, 1999 ("TENANT'S TERMINATION NOTICE"). Tenant's
Termination Option is conditioned on the following: (1) on or before the Early
Termination Date, Tenant has paid Landlord all amounts due and owing under the
Lease; and (2) Tenant pays to Landlord, within 15 days after notice from
Landlord informing Tenant of the amount of the termination penalty, which
termination penalty shall be the amount equal to the unamortized portion of
Landlord's Costs, as hereinafter defined, as of the Early Termination Date
calculated by amortizing Landlord's Costs over the Term on a daily basis, plus
interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum. "LANDLORD'S COSTS" means
Landlord's costs related to this Lease, including, but not limited to costs
Landlord incurred in preparing the Premises for lease by Tenant, legal costs,
and leasing commissions. Tenant's right to exercise the Termination Option is
further conditioned on: (i) Tenant not being in default at the time of exercise
of the Termination Option or on the Early Termination Date; and (ii) Tenant not
having subleased or vacated more than 25% of the Premises or assigned its
interest under the Lease as of the date of exercise of the Termination Option or
on the Early Termination Date. If the Termination Option is timely exercised,
Tenant will deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord on the Early
Termination Date in accordance with the terms of the Lease and all other terms
and provisions will apply as if the Lease had expired according to its terms,
including Tenant's obligation for payment of any increases in Operating Expenses
attributable to periods prior to the Early Termination Date at such time as such
obligation is determined. if Tenant fails to timely give notice, Tenant will be
deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Paragraph. Tenant's
right to terminate the Lease pursuant to this Paragraph is personal to Tenant
and may not be assigned. In the event of an assignment of the Lease or a
subletting or vacation of more than 25% of the Premises, this Paragraph is null
and void.
All of the terms and provisions of the Lease, as herein amended and
supplemented, are hereby ratified and confirmed, and shall remain in full force
and effect.

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE ("FIRST AMENDMENT") is made and entered

C. Landlord and Tenant are the sole parties in interest under the

D. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease in the manner
and form set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby amend the Lease as follows:
1. SUBSTITUTION OF PREMISES.
(a) The Existing Premises shall be substituted with that
certain office space located on and consisting of the entire rentable area of
the twenty-second (22nd) floor of the Building which is known as Suite 2200 and
consists of approximately 21,454 square feet of rentable area depicted on the
floor plan attached as EXHIBIT A-1, and hereby made a part hereof (hereinafter
referred to as the "NEW PREMISES") effective 12:01 a.m. (Denver time) on the
date (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") which is the later of (i) July 1, 1999 (the
"SCHEDULED EFFECTIVE DATE") or (ii) the first day that the New Premises are
Ready for Occupancy (hereinafter defined). As of the Effective Date, the New
Premises shall be deemed to be the Premises for all purposes of the Lease as
amended by this First Amendment and all references in the Lease to the Premises
shall be deemed to refer to the New Premises instead of and in place of the
Existing Premises.
(b) Landlord shall, subject to any applicable governmental
laws, rules, and regulations permit Tenant to enter upon the New Premises five
(5) days prior to the Effective Date (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) for
the purpose of installing furniture, fixtures and equipment subject to the terms
of the Lease as herein amended; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Tenant shall not be obligated
to pay any rent (Base Rent and additional rent). Tenant shall completely vacate
the Existing Premises on or before 11:59 p.m. (Denver time), on the first
Business Day following
1.
the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 of the Lease
and relinquish and redeliver possession of the Existing Premises to Landlord.
2. COMPLETION OF NEW PREMISES IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) PRELIMINARY INFORMATION AND PLANS. Landlord has heretofore
delivered to Tenant for use by Tenant's architect or engineer, such plan or
plans and other information with respect to the New Premises and the Building as
Tenant may reasonably require for proper and expeditious preparation of Tenant's
layout plans for the New Premises ("TENANT'S LAYOUT PLANS"). Receipt of all
such information is hereby acknowledged by Tenant.
(b) TENANT'S LAYOUT PLANS. Tenant shall cause to be prepared
at Tenant's expense and, not later than 12:00 noon (Denver time), May 7, 1999,
shall deliver to Landlord one mylar and two black line prints of complete and
final architectural working drawings (which shall be 1/8" scale), three copies
of all specifications and two (2) non-copyrighted CADD disks, prepared by an
architect or space planner approved by Landlord ("TENANT'S LAYOUT PLANS") for
the construction and finishing of the New Premises for Tenant's occupancy.
Tenant's Layout Plans shall (i) include the layout of Tenant's furniture,
fixtures and equipment, (ii) include electrical and heat specifications for all
of Tenant's fixtures and equipment, (iii) be signed and sealed by an architect
licensed by and registered in the State of Colorado, and (iv) conform to all
applicable laws and requirements of public authorities and insurance
underwriters' requirements. Tenant's Layout Plans shall be subject to
Landlord's review and written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and such plans shall be deemed modified to take account of
any changes reasonably required by Landlord and approved by Tenant (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Landlord shall notify
Tenant whether or not the Tenant Layout Plans are approved within three (3)
business days after their delivery to Landlord. Tenant's Layout Plans as
approved by Landlord and with the aforesaid modifications, if any, are herein
called the "Final Layout Plans". Tenant designates Xxxxx Xxxxx and/or Xxxx Xxxx
as Tenant's representative who Tenant agrees shall be available to meet and
consult with Landlord at the New Premises respecting the matters which are the
subject of this Paragraph 2 and who, as between Landlord and Tenant, shall have
the power to legally bind Tenant, in making requests for changes, giving
approval of plans or work, giving directions to Landlord or the like, under this
Paragraph 2; and any notice or delivery given to such person personally or at
his place of business shall have the same effect as a notice or delivery given
to Tenant.
(c) ENGINEERING PLANS. Landlord shall direct its engineers to
prepare at Tenant's expense and, not later than ten (10) days after approval by
Landlord of the Final Layout Plans, shall deliver to Tenant mechanical,
electrical and fire protection engineering drawings and specifications
("ENGINEERING PLANS"), based on the Final Layout Plans (and such pertinent
additional information as shall have been submitted by Tenant with Tenant's
Layout Plans or as requested by Landlord), as may be required to complete the
New Premises in accordance with the Final Layout Plans. As soon as reasonably
possible, and in any event within five (5) days after submission to Tenant by
Landlord of the Engineering Plans, Tenant shall give its written approval
thereof if they are in substantial conformity with or a direct extension of the
Final Layout Plans, otherwise such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
HOWEVER, the Engineering Plans shall be deemed to have been approved by Tenant
unless Tenant shall have
2.
notified Landlord in writing to the contrary within five (5) days of their
receipt by Tenant, stating in which respects such plans fail to conform with the
Final Layout Plans. The Engineering Plans shall be deemed to have been approved
by Tenant if they are returned by Tenant with specified changes noted and such
changes are made, whether or not approval is thereafter specifically noted on
the Engineering Plans so changed,
(d) COMPLETION BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall, in a good and
workmanlike manner, cause the New Premises to be improved and completed in
accordance with the Final Layout Plans and the Engineering Plans (the "TENANT
WORK") (such plans are hereinafter together called the "CONSTRUCTION PLANS").
Landlord reserves the right, HOWEVER; (i) to make substitutions of material or
components of equivalent grade and quality when and if any specified material or
component shall not be readily or reasonably available, and (ii) to make changes
necessitated by conditions met in the course of construction, PROVIDED THAT
Tenant's approval of any substantial change shall first be obtained (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as there shall be
general conformity with the Final Layout Plans); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Landlord
shall not substitute carpet, floor coverings, paint or wall coverings without
Tenant's prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The Tenant Work shall be furnished, installed and performed by Landlord for an
amount (hereinafter called the "Tenant Improvements Costs") equal to Landlord's
out-of-pocket contract or purchase price or prices to be paid by Landlord to
architects, engineers, material suppliers, subcontractors, independent
contractors and/or other sources for the material, labor and services applied to
the Tenant Work, plus a three percent (3%) construction management fee payable
to Landlord and applicable sales taxes. Landlord agrees to obtain not less than
three (3) bids for the completion of the Tenant Work from general contractors
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant maintaining an "A" or "B" license
with the City and County of Denver and the general contractor submitting the
lowest bid shall be selected to complete the Tenant Work; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that Landlord and Tenant may agree to select any other general contractor who
submits a bid within two percent (2%) of the lowest bid PROVIDED such selection
is made within one (1) business day after Landlord delivers the final bid
summary to Tenant. Landlord currently estimates that the Tenant Work can be
completed Ready for Occupancy by the Scheduled Effective Date (subject to delays
beyond Landlord's control), PROVIDED the Final Layout Plans are completed on or
before 5:00 p.m. (Denver time), May 7, 1999. "Ready for Occupancy" shall mean
(i) the date on which Landlord has substantially completed the Tenant Work as
reasonably determined by Landlord and as certified by Tenant's architect and
Landlord's architect, Xxxxx Xxxxx Associates, Inc., in accordance with the
Construction Plans, (ii) a certificate or approval has been issued by the City
and County of Denver permitting Tenant's occupancy of the New Premises, and
(iii) Landlord's representative and Tenant's architect have jointly inspected
the New Premises and accepted such work as substantially completed (in the
exercise of their reasonable discretion), except for items or decorations which
do not prevent Tenant's use of the New Premises. The Tenant Work shall be
performed pursuant to a "guaranteed maximum price" construction contract, Tenant
shall have the right to approve such construction contract, PROVIDED such
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS ALLOWANCE. Landlord shall provide an
allowance for the Tenant Improvements Costs in the amount of Two Hundred
Fifty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Eight and No/100 Dollars ($257,448.00)
("Initial Improvements Allowance").
3.
Tenant shall pay for all Tenant Improvements Costs exceeding the Initial
Improvements Allowance(the "Excess Tenant Improvements Costs"). Tenant shall
pay fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Tenant Improvements Costs to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the date that the contract for the completion of
the Tenant Work is awarded and Landlord has furnished Tenant with an itemized
bid summary, in reasonable detail, of the Tenant Improvements Costs and Tenant
shall pay the balance of the Excess Tenant Improvements Costs to Landlord on or
before the thirtieth (30th) day following the first day the Tenant Work is Ready
for Occupancy. In addition, Landlord may require that, before the commencement
of the construction of any work requested in any change orders to the Tenant
Work that Tenant pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of the cost to
complete the work contemplated under such change orders as reasonably estimated
by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, any
costs incurred due to the remediation of Hazardous Materials, where such were
not caused by Tenant shall not be included in the cost of Tenant Work and shall
be the sole responsibility of Landlord.
(f) ACCESS; ACCEPTANCE OF WORK. Landlord shall afford Tenant
and its employees and agents (each herein referred to as a "Tenant Party")
access to the New Premises at reasonable times prior to the commencement of the
Term only in the presence of a representative of the Landlord, and at Tenant's
sole risk and expense, for the purposes of inspecting and verifying Landlord's
performance of the Tenant Work. Landlord agrees to provide a representative to
accompany a representative of Tenant to inspect the New Premises during
Landlord's normal business hours upon not less than four (4) hours' prior verbal
notice. Tenant shall advise Landlord promptly of any objection to the
performance of such work. In the event a Tenant Party accesses the New Premises
prior to the date (the "Tenant Installation Date"), the New Premises are made
available to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph l(b) hereof, Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord and its partners, agents, servants, employees
and general contractor (each herein referred to as an "Indemnified Party")
harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines and penalties incurred
by an Indemnified Party including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees that in any way result from a Tenant Party's negligent and/or willfully
wrongful activities within the New Premises without the supervision of a
representative of the Landlord. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) each time a Tenant Party visits the New
Premises prior to the Tenant Installation Date without the supervision of a
representative of Landlord which payment shall not be deemed to be a fine or
penalty but shall be deemed the payment of liquidated damages to the Landlord
for Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph 2(f), it
being further agreed that the Landlord's actual damages would be difficult to
ascertain.
(g) DELIVERY OF POSSESSION. If Landlord shall, for any reason
(including, without limitation, failure to complete the work, if any, required
to be done by Landlord under this First Amendment), fail to make available to
Tenant possession of the New Premises on or before the Scheduled Commencement
Date or any other date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for such
failure nor for any failure to timely complete any work Under such circumstances
Tenant's obligation to pay the Base Rent and additional rent pertaining to the
New Premises shall not commence until the date the New Premises are Ready for
Occupancy; and such failure to make available to Tenant possession of the New
Premises on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date or any other date or to
timely complete any work, shall not in
4.
any other way affect the validity or continuance of the Lease as herein
amended; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Term shall be extended such that the Termination
Date shall occur on the last day of the sixtieth (60th) complete calendar month
to occur after the Effective Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the New
Premises are not Ready for Occupancy on or before October 1, 1999, Tenant shall
have the right to terminate the Lease as amended herein upon delivery of written
notice to Landlord on or before November 15, 1999. Such deferral of rent and
Tenant's right to terminate shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive rights and
remedies with respect to any such failure. There shall be no deferral of rent
or right to terminate, HOWEVER, if any such failure is caused in whole or part
by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or
contractors, which has the effect of hindering or delaying Landlord's delivery
of possession or the timely completion of any work to be done by Landlord
(hereinafter a "Tenant Delay") including, without limitation, (i) any delay
which is caused by changes in the work to be performed by Landlord in readying
the New Premises for Tenant's occupancy, which changes are requested by Tenant

(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a continuing right of
first refusal (the "First Right of Refusal") covering all of the office space
located upon the twenty-first (21st) floor of the Building (the "First Refusal
Space"). If at any time after the date hereof, Landlord shall desire to lease
all or part of the First Refusal Space (whether or not as part of a larger
space), as evidenced by the issuance of a bona fide proposal to a third party by
or on behalf of Landlord covering such space, or Landlord's acceptance of a bona
fide proposal from a third party ("Third Party Proposal"), Landlord shall first
offer to lease the First Refusal Space subject to the limitations provided
below, by giving written notice ("Landlord's First Refusal Space Notice") to
Tenant. Landlord's First Refusal Space Notice shall specify the amount of First
Refusal Space covered by the Third Party Proposal (the "Designated First Refusal
Space") and the date on which the Designated First Refusal Space is expected to
be available for Tenant's lease. Within five (5) days after receiving
Landlord's notice, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord ("First Refusal
Space Exercise Notice"), elect or decline to exercise its First Right of Refusal
as to the Designated First Refusal Space. This First Right of Refusal shall
require Tenant to lease the Designated First Offer Space on the same terms and
conditions (including the same annual per square foot rental rates) included
within such Third Party Proposal. If Tenant fails to exercise the First Right
of Refusal by delivering written notice to Landlord within such five (5) day
period, Tenant shall be deemed to have declined to exercise its First Right of
Refusal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no night to exercise
the First Right of
6.
Refusal at any time that it is in default under the Lease as amended herein. If
Tenant declines or is deemed to have declined to exercise the First Right of
Refusal, Landlord thereafter shall have the right to lease the Designated First
Refusal Space to a third party pursuant to terms that are substantially the same
as such Third Party Proposal; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event Landlord does not
consummate a lease with a third party within 180 days after Tenant declines or
is deemed to have declined to exercise its First Right of Refusal (provided
Landlord is not in ongoing lease negotiations with a third party), then Tenant's
First Right of Refusal shall be reinstated.
(b) The First Right of Refusal shall be subject and subordinate
to (i) Landlord's right to lease the First Refusal Space, or any portion
thereof, to Arcadis Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc., the tenant currently occupying the
First Refusal Space and/or its successors and assigns, and (ii) any renewal
rights, expansion rights, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer and any
similar rights subsequently granted by Landlord to a tenant leasing the First
Refusal Space, or any portion thereof, after Tenant has declined to exercise its
First Right of Refusal.
7. SECOND RIGHT OF REFUSAL.
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a one time right of first
refusal (the "Second Right of Refusal") covering that office space consisting of
approximately 7,600 square feet of rentable space located upon the twenty-third
(23rd) floor of the Building and which is depicted on EXHIBIT A-2 attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Second Refusal Space").
If at any time after the date hereof, Landlord shall desire to lease all or part
of the Second Refusal Space (whether or not as part of a larger space), as
evidenced by the issuance of a Third Party Proposal by or on behalf of Landlord
covering such space, or Landlord's acceptance of a bona fide Third Party
Proposal, Landlord shall first offer to lease the Second Refusal Space subject
to the limitations provided below, by giving written notice ("Landlord's Second
Refusal Space Notice") to Tenant. Landlord's Second Refusal Space Notice shall
specify the amount of Second Refusal Space covered by the Third Party Proposal
(the "Designated Second Refusal Space") and the date on which the Designated
Second Offer Space is expected to be available for Tenant's lease, Within five
(5) days after receiving Landlord's notice, Tenant shall give written notice to
Landlord ("Second Refusal Space Exercise Notice"), elect or decline to exercise
its Second Right of Refusal as to the Designated Refusal Space. This Second
Right of Refusal shall require Tenant to lease the Designated First Refusal
Space on the same terms and conditions (including the same annual per square
foot rental rate) included within such Third Party Proposal. If Tenant fails to
exercise the Second Right of Refusal by delivering written notice to Landlord
within such five (5) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have declined to
exercise its Second Right of Refusal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall have no right to exercise the Second Right of Refusal at any time that it
is in default under the Lease as amended. If Tenant declines or is deemed to
have declined to exercise the Second Right of Refusal, Landlord thereafter shall
have the right to lease the Designated Second Refusal Space to a third party
pursuant to terms that are substantially the same as such Third Party Proposal;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event Landlord does not consummate a lease with a
third party within 180 days after Tenant declines or is deemed to have declined
to exercise its Second Right of Refusal (provided Landlord is not in ongoing
lease negotiations with a third party), then Tenant's Second Right of Refusal
shall be reinstated.
7.
(b) The Second Right of Refusal shall be subject and
subordinate to Landlord's right to lease the Second Refusal Space, or any
portion thereof, to the tenant currently occupying the Second Offer Space and/or
its successors and assigns.
8. RENEWAL OPTION.

the Premises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the Fair Market Rental Rate
is less than $19.50 on a per rentable square foot basis, the annual Base Rent
for the Renewal Term shall be a market rate reasonably determined by Landlord
based upon lease and/or lease renewal transactions (collectively the "Lease

Premises, entered into within three (3) months preceding the date of Tenant's
delivery of notice exercising the Renewal Option, PROVIDED, in no event, shall

Renewal Notice the FMRR shall be determined by appraisal, said appraisal shall
be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:

Appraiser is appointed or selected, the first two appraisers shall each
simultaneously submit in sealed envelopes his/her opinion of the fair market

said opinion(s), to the Third Appraiser. Within thirty (30) days

the appraiser selected by such party, and the fees and expenses of the Third
Appraiser shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.
