services Landlord supplies shall not be interrupted. Services may be interrupted

possession of the Premises;
(ii) Make Landlord liable to Tenant for damages;
(iii) Xxxxx Rent; or
(iv) Relieve Tenant from performing Tenant's Lease obligations.
If any essential services (such as HVAC, electricity, water) are interrupted and

Tenant, its employees, invitees or agents, Tenant shall be entitled to an
abatement of Rent. The abatement shall begin on the fifth consecutive business
day of interruption, or when Tenant stops using the Premises because of the
interruption, whichever is later. The abatement shall end when the services are
restored. Tenant shall have the option to cancel the Lease if the interruption
unreasonably and materially interferes with Tenant's use of, or access to, the
Premises for at least thirty (30) consecutive days. To exercise this option,
Tenant must give Landlord notice of the cancellation within (30) days from the
end of the thirty (30) day period.

Tenant's agents, employees, or invitees, including damage done to the building
by Tenant's equipment or installations. Tenant shall furnish and pay for the
upkeep, maintenance and periodic servicing of the heating, ventilating and air
conditioning equipment servicing the Premises (unless such equipment is
servicing more than the Premises, in which case Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share
of such costs defined in paragraph 2.02(a)). At the end of the Lease, or any
renewal thereof, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises broom clean and in
as good condition as when received by Tenant, normal wear and tear excepted.
3.03(b) LANDLORD'S REPAIRS Except for repairs and replacements thereto
that Tenant must make under paragraph 3.03(a), Landlord shall, at its expense,
keep in good order, condition and repair, the common areas of the building, the
roof of the building, the underground or otherwise concealed plumbing serving
the building and the structural soundness of the foundations, exterior walls and
the delivery of utilities to the Premises. Landlord shall, at its expense, keep
in good order, condition and repair all driveways, parking lots, fences and
signs (except for Tenant's fences and signs) located upon or comprising the
property and all sidewalks and parkways adjacent to the Premises. Landlord shall

on the nature of the repair or replacement needed) after receiving notice or
having actual knowledge of the need for a repair or replacement and such repairs
shall be commenced within fifteen (15) days (or such shorter time as is
reasonable in the case of an emergency) after the Landlord receives notice or
has actual knowledge of the need of repair or replacement. If Landlord fails to
commence and thereafter diligently proceed to complete the repairs, Tenant may
give Landlord a second notice, specifying the item to be repaired and stating
Tenant's intent to complete the same if Landlord fails to do so. If Landlord
fails to commence the work within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant may
complete such repair and shall be entitled to credit the reasonable cost of so
doing against the next due installment of Rent. To the extent repairs to be
performed by the Tenant are required in order to prevent the continued
disruption of the operations of other tenants, then the Tenant shall make its
repairs in accordance with this paragraph 3.03(c).
3.03(d) SURRENDERING THE PREMISES Upon the Ending Date, or the date of
the last extension term, if any, whichever is later, Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the same broom clean condition that the Premises were in
on the Beginning Date except for:

be responsible for repairing any incidental damage caused by the removal of its

their disposal, minus any revenues received by Landlord for their disposal.

classification so called all risks, such as fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado,
hail, explosion, riots, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke and extended
coverage, but not plate glass insurance. The insurance shall include an
extended coverage endorsement of the kind required by an institutional lender to
repair and restore the building. The cost of all such insurance required to be
maintained by Landlord hereunder shall be included in Operating Expenses.
5.01(b) PROPERTY INSURANCE Each party shall keep its personal
property and trade fixtures in the Premises and building insured with "all
risks" insurance in an amount to cover one hundred percent (100%) of the
replacement cost of the property and fixtures. Tenant shall also keep any non-
building-standard improvements made to the Premises at Tenant's request insured
to the same degree as Tenant's personal property.
5.01(c) LIABILITY INSURANCE Each party shall maintain contractual
and comprehensive general liability insurance, including public liability and
property damage, with a minimum combined single limit of two million dollars
($2,000,000) for personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about
the building and Premises.
5.01(d) WAIVER OF SUBROGATION Landlord and Tenant each agree that all
policies of insurance required to be obtained by each of them respectively
shall, unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, contain provisions in
which the rights of subrogation against Landlord and Tenant are waived by the
insurance company or carriers insuring the Premises or property in question.
Landlord expressly waives any right of recovery against Tenant for damage to or
loss of the building, land and Premises or improvements thereon which loss or
damage may arise by fire or any other peril covered by any policy of insurance
maintained pursuant to this Lease, which contains or is required to contain
waiver of subrogation rights against Tenant pursuant to this Section 5 and shall
make no claim for recovery against Tenant therefor.
Tenant expressly waives any right of recovery against Landlord for damage to or
loss of the building, land and Premises or improvements thereon which loss or
damage may arise by fire or any other peril covered by any policy of insurance
maintained pursuant to this Lease, which contains or is required to contain
waiver of subrogation rights against Landlord pursuant to this Section 5 and
shall make no claim for recovery against Landlord therefor.
The waiver also applies to each party's directors, officers, employees,
shareholders and agents. The waiver does not apply to claims caused by a party's
willful misconduct.
5.01(e) INSURANCE CRITERIA Insurance policies required by this lease
shall:
11
(i) Be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the
state of Colorado with general policyholder's ratings of at least
"A" and a financial rating of at least "XI" in the most current
Best's Insurance Reports available on the date in paragraph 1.01. If
the Best's ratings are changed or discontinued, the parties shall
agree to an equivalent method of rating insurance companies. If the
parties cannot agree, they shall submit the dispute to arbitration
under Section 11;
(ii) Name the non-procuring party as an additional insured as its
interest may appear. Other landlords or tenants may also be added as
additional insureds in a blanket policy;
(iii) Provide that the insurance not be canceled or materially changed in
the scope or amount of coverage unless thirty (30) days advance
notice is given to the non-procuring party;
(iv) Be primary policies not as contributing with, or in excess of, the
coverage that the other party may carry;
(v) Be permitted to be carried through a blanket policy or umbrella
coverage;
(vi) Have deductibles not greater that twenty-five thousand dollars
($25,000); and
(vii) Be maintained during the entire term and any extension terms.
5.01(f) EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE By the Beginning Date and upon each
renewal of its insurance policies, each party shall give certificates of
insurance to the other party. The certificate shall specify amounts, types of
coverage, the waiver of subrogation and the insurance criteria listed in
paragraph 5.01(e). The policies shall be renewed or replaced and maintained by
the other party responsible for that policy. If either party fails to give the
required certificate with thirty (30) days after notice of demand for it, the
other party may obtain and pay for that insurance and receive reimbursement from
the party required to have the insurance.
5.02 INDEMNIFICATION
5.02(a) TENANT'S INDEMNITY Tenant indemnifies, defends and holds
Landlord harmless from claims:
(i) For personal injury, death or property damage;
(ii) For incidents occurring in or about the Premises or building; and
(iii) Caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its
agents, employees or invitees.
When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant
and Landlord, or Tenant and a third party unrelated to Tenant, except Tenant's
agents, employees or invitees, Tenant's duty to defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless shall be in proportion to Tenant's allocable share of the
joint negligence or willful misconduct.
5.02(b) LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY Landlord indemnifies, defends and holds
Tenant harmless from claims:
12
(i) For personal injury, death or property damage;
(ii) For incidents occurring in or about the Premises or building; and
(iii) Caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents, employees or invitees.
When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord and Tenant, or Landlord and a third party unrelated to Landlord, except
Landlord's agents, employees or invitees, Landlord's duty to defend, indemnify
and hold Tenant harmless shall be in proportion to Landlord's allocable share of
the joint negligence or willful misconduct.
5.02(c) RELEASE OF CLAIMS Notwithstanding paragraphs 5.02(a) and
5.02(b), the parties release each other from any claims either party (injured
party) has against the other. This release is limited to the extent the claim is
covered by the injured party's insurance or the insurance the injured party is
required to carry under Section 5, whichever is greater.
5.03 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
5.03(a) TRANSFER OF PREMISES Landlord hereby acknowledges that
Tenant has agreed to lease the Premises based upon the complete expressed
indemnification of the Tenant by the Landlord with regard to the Pre-Existing
Environmental Conditions on the property. In the event ownership of the Premises
is transferred by the Landlord, such transfer shall not serve to limit the
Landlord's responsibilities and obligations to indemnify the Tenant for the Pre-
Existing Environmental Conditions or any other responsibilities or obligations
so specified under the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Alliant
Techsystems Inc. and MAC Acquisition I, Inc. dated December 31, 1992.
SECTION 6 - LOSS OF PREMISES
6.01 DAMAGES
6.01(a) DEFINITION "Relevant Space" means:
(i) The Premises as defined in paragraph 1.02, excluding Tenant's non-
building-standard fixtures;
(ii) Access to the Premises; and
(iii) Any part of the building that provides essential services to the
Premises.
6.01(b) REPAIR OF DAMAGE If the Relevant Space is damaged in part or
in whole from any cause and the Relevant Space can be substantially repaired and
restored within ninety (90) days from the date of the damage using standard work
methods and procedures, Landlord shall, at its expense, promptly and diligently
repair and restore the Relevant Space to substantially the same condition as
existed before the damage. This repair and restoration shall be made within
ninety (90) days from the date of the damage.
13
If the Relevant Space is not insured or cannot be repaired and restored within
the ninety (90) day period, then either party may, within ten (10) days after
determining that the repairs and restoration cannot be made within ninety (90)
days (as prescribed in paragraph 6.01(b)), cancel the Lease by giving notice to
the other party. Nevertheless, if the Relevant Space is not repaired and
restored within ninety (90) days from the date of damage, then Tenant may cancel
the Lease at any time after the ninetieth (90th) day and before the one hundred
and twentieth (120th) day following the date of damage. Tenant shall not be
able to cancel this Lease if its willful misconduct causes the damage unless
Landlord is not promptly and diligently repairing and restoring the Relevant
Space.
6.01(c) DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE If the parties cannot agree
in writing whether the repairs and restoration described in paragraph 6.01(b)
will take more than ninety (90) days to make, then the determination will be
submitted to arbitration under Section 11.
6.01(d) ABATEMENT Unless the damage is caused by the Tenant's
negligence or willful misconduct, the Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to that
part of the Premises that is unfit for use in the Tenant's business. The
abatement shall consider the nature and extent of interference to Tenant's
ability to conduct business in the Premises and the need for access and
essential services. The abatement shall continue from the date the damage
occurred until ten (10) business days after Landlord completes the repairs and
restoration to the Relevant Space, or the part rendered unusable and notice to
the Tenant that the repairs and restoration are completed, or until Tenant again
uses the Premises or the part rendered unusable, whichever is first.
6.01(e) TENANT'S PROPERTY Notwithstanding anything else in Section
6, Landlord is not obligated to repair or restore damage to Tenant's trade
fixtures, furniture, equipment or other personal property, or any Tenant
improvements other than those listed and attached hereto.
6.01(f) DAMAGE TO PREMISES If any of the following events occur,
Landlord may cancel this Lease:
(i) More than forty percent (40%) of the Premises is damaged and the
Landlord decides not to repair and restore the Premises;
(ii) The damage is not covered by Landlord's insurance required by
paragraphs 5.01(a) and 5.01(b).
To cancel, Landlord must give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the
Landlord knows of the damage. The notice must specify the cancellation date,
which shall be at least thirty (30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days,
after the date notice is given.
6.01(g) CANCELLATION If either party cancels this Lease as permitted
by paragraphs 6.01(b) and 6.01(f), then this Lease shall end on the day
specified in the cancellation notice. Rent and other charges shall be payable up
to the cancellation date and shall account for any abatement. Landlord shall
promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid, unaccrued Rent, accounting for any
abatement, plus security deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant to
Landlord.
If Landlord cancels this Lease as permitted by paragraphs 6.01(b) and 6.01(f),
then Landlord must cancel all other similarly affected tenant leases in the
building.
6.02 CONDEMNATION
14
6.02(a) DEFINITIONS The terms "eminent domain," "condemnation,"
"taken" and the like in paragraph 6.02 include takings for public or quasi-
public use and private purchase in place of condemnation by any authority
authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.
6.02(b) ENTIRE TAKING If the entire Premises or the portions of the
building required for reasonable access to, or the reasonable uses of, the
Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically end on the
earlier of:
(i) The date title vests; or
(ii) The date the Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.
6.02(c) PARTIAL TAKING If the taking of a part of the Premises
materially interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations
in substantially the same manner and space, then Tenant may end this Lease on
the earlier of:
(i) The date title vests; or
(ii) The date the Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority;
or
(iii) Sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date when
vesting or disposition is to occur.
If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end
as to the part taken and the Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the part of the
Premises taken and Tenant's pro rata share shall be equally reduced.
6.02(d) TERMINATION BY LANDLORD If title to a part of the building
other than the Premises is condemned and in the Landlord's reasonable opinion,
the building should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises,
Landlord may cancel this Lease by giving notice to the Tenant. Cancellation
notice shall be given within sixty (60) days following the date title vested.
This Lease shall end on the date specified in the cancellation notice, which
date shall be at least thirty (30) days, but not more than ninety (90) days,
after the date notice is given.
6.02(e) RENT ADJUSTMENT If the Lease is canceled as provided for in
paragraphs 6.02(b), 6.02(c) or 6.02(d), then the Rent and other charges shall be
payable up to the cancellation date and shall account for any abatement.
Landlord, considering any abatement, shall promptly refund to Tenant any unpaid,
unaccrued Rent plus security deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant
to Landlord.
6.02(f) REPAIR If the Lease is not canceled as provided for in
paragraphs 6.02(b), 6.02(c) or 6.02(d), then Landlord, at its expense, shall
promptly repair and restore the Premises to the condition that existed
immediately before the taking, except for the part taken, to render the Premises
a complete architectural unit, but to the extent of the:
15
(i) Condemnation award received for the damage; and
(ii) Building standard work.
6.02(g) AWARDS AND DAMAGES Landlord reserves all rights to damages
paid because of any partial or entire taking of the Premises. Notwithstanding
anything else in paragraph 6.02(g), Tenant may claim and recover from the
condemning authority a separate award for Tenant's moving expenses, business
dislocation damages, Tenant's personal property and fixtures, the unamortized
costs of leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant and any other award that
would not substantially reduce the award payable to Landlord. Each party shall
seek its own award, as limited by paragraph 6.02(g), at its own expense and
neither shall have any right to the award made to the other.
6.02(h) TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION If part or all of the Premises are
condemned for a limited period of time of less than twenty (20) days (Temporary
Condemnation), this Lease shall remain in effect. The Rent and Tenant's
obligations for the part of the Premises taken shall xxxxx during the Temporary
Condemnation in proportion to the part of the Premises that Tenant is unable to
use in its business operations as a result of the Temporary Condemnation.
Landlord shall receive the entire award for any Temporary Condemnation; however,
Tenant shall have the right to pursue a claim against the condemning authority
separately.
6.03 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
6.03(a) Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any
environmental costs relating to conditions existing on or before the effective
date of this Lease and from the conduct of the Tenant's business during the
first twelve (12) months of this lease; provided:
(i) Tenant shall operate its business and handle, store and dispose of
all hazardous materials ("Operation") under the same policies and
procedures that the business was operated under during the twelve
(12) month period prior to the effective date of this Lease; or
(ii) Any change in the Operation is:
(A) Caused by cessation of a portion of the business, or
(B) Mutually agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
Tenant shall allow Landlord to inspect and audit the Operations without prior
notification. Tenant shall, at its cost, comply with all changes in the
Operations:
(i) As directed by Landlord in writing which are a result of
Landlord's compliance audits or changes in Environmental Laws; or
(ii) As directed in writing by any local, state or federal agency.
16
Tenant, at its cost, shall continue maintaining or continue the application
process of all permits and licenses necessary for the Operations (but in no way
associated with any remediation work) as directed by the Landlord. Tenant's
failure to comply with Landlord or agency directed changes in the Operations
shall be considered a breach of this Lease, for which the Landlord shall be
entitled to recover its actual damages and any reasonable attorney's and
consulting fees.
6.03(b) After the initial twelve (12) months of this Lease, Tenant shall
comply with all Environmental Laws and shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from any Environmental Cost which is different in nature from Pre-
Existing Conditions of the Premises, or which is attributable to actions taken
by the Tenant after the initial twelve (12) month period and which results in a
liability to Landlord and only to the extent it is greater than, or different
from, the Landlord's liability for the Pre-Existing Conditions. Nothing in this
paragraph 6.03 extends Landlord's obligations to Tenant for any environmental
liabilities unrelated to the Premises.
6.03(c) The terms "Environmental Costs" and "Environmental Laws" shall
have the same definitions as they do in the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and
between Alliant Techsystems Inc. and MAC Acquisition I, Inc. dated December 31,
1992. The "Pre-Existing Conditions" shall mean the soil and ground water
contamination in existence on December 31, 1992, and the conditions for which
Landlord is responsible during the first twelve (12) months of this Lease under
this paragraph 6.03.
SECTION 7 - DEFAULT
7.01 TENANT'S DEFAULT
Each of the following constitutes a default ("Default"):
(i) Tenant's failure to pay Rent within fifteen (15) days after Tenant
receives notice from Landlord of Tenant's failure to pay Rent;
(ii) Tenant's failure to pay Rent by the due date, at any time during a
calendar year in which the Tenant has already received three (3)
notices of its failure to pay Rent by the due date;
(iii) Tenant's failure to perform or observe any other Tenant obligation
after a period of thirty (30) business days or the additional
time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and
diligently cure the failure, after it receives notice from
Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent
of the failure and identifying the applicable Lease provision(s);
(iv) Tenant's abandoning or vacating the Premises if Tenant fails to
pay the Rent by the due date;
(v) The occurrence of any of the following events:
(A) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment
for the benefit of creditors:
17
(B) The Tenant's becoming a "debtor" as defined in Chapter 11, U.
S. C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless in the
case of a petition filed against the Tenant the same is
dismissed within ninety (90) days);
(C) The appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession
of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where
possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days;
or
(D) The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises
or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure is
not discharged within sixty (60) days;
provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph 7.01(v)
is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect
and or affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
7.02 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
If Tenant fails to perform any affirmative duty or obligation of Tenant under
this Lease, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice to Tenant
(or in the case of an emergency, such lesser time that is prudent under the
circumstances), Landlord may at its option (but without obligation to do so),
perform such duty or obligation on Tenant's behalf, including but not limited to
the obtaining of reasonable required bonds, insurance policies or governmental
licenses, permits or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance
by Landlord shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon invoice
therefor. If any check given to Landlord by Tenant shall not be honored by the
bank upon which it is drawn, Landlord, at its option, may require all future
payments to be made under this Lease by Tenant to be made only by cashier's
check.
In the event of a Default of this Lease by Tenant, as defined in paragraph 7.01,
Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies given to Landlord by law or in
equity, by written notice to Tenant, declare the present value of all
installments of Base Rent for the remainder of the term of this Lease to be
immediately due and payable (whereupon the same shall be immediately due and
payable), and terminate this Lease or, without terminating this Lease, reenter
the Premises pursuant to proper legal proceedings (for which cost Landlord shall
be reimbursed if such reentry is granted). In the event of such re-entry
Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to relet the Premises and in the event
of such reletting shall apply the rent therefrom first to the payment of
Landlord's expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by reason of
Tenant's Default and the expense of reletting, including but not limited to
repairs, renovation or alteration of the Premises, and then to the payment of
Rent and all other sums due from Tenant hereunder.
All remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law, or in equity, are
cumulative and concurrent. No termination of this Lease nor any taking or
recovering of possession of the Premises shall deprive Landlord of any of its
remedies or actions against Tenant for past or future rent or other sums due
hereunder, nor shall the bringing of any action for rent or other Default be
construed as a waiver of the right to obtain possession of the Premises.
18
7.03 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
Landlord's failure to perform or observe any of its Lease obligations after a
period of thirty (30) business days or the additional time, if any, that is
reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure after receiving
notice from Tenant, is a Default. The notice shall give in reasonable detail the
nature and extent of the failure and identify the Lease provision(s) containing
the obligation(s). After Tenant receives notice of a mortgagee's name and
address and request for notice upon Landlord's Default, Tenant shall provide the
notice required by this paragraph to the mortgagee at the same time Tenant gives
notice to Landlord.
If Landlord commits a Default, Tenant may pursue any remedies given in this
Lease or under the law.
7.04 EXCEPTION TO CURE PERIODS
The cure periods in paragraphs 7.01 and 7.03 do not apply to:
(i) Emergencies;
(ii) Failure to maintain the insurance required by paragraph 5.01.
7.05 SELF-HELP
If either party Defaults ("Defaulting Party"), the other party ("Non-Defaulting
Party") may, without being obligated and without waiving the Default, cure the
Default. The Non-Defaulting Party may enter the Premises or building to cure the
Default. The Defaulting Party shall pay the Non-Defaulting Party, upon demand,
all costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party to
cure the Default.
7.06 SURVIVAL
The remedies permitted by Section 7, the parties' indemnities in paragraph 5.02
and Landlord's obligation to mitigate damages shall survive the ending of this
Lease.
SECTION 8
SUBORDINATION/ATTORNMENT/NON-DISTURBANCE
8.01 SUBORDINATION/ATTORNMENT/NON-DISTURBANCE
8.01(a) SUBORDINATION This lease shall be subject and subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively "Security Device") now or hereafter placed by Landlord upon the
real property of which the Premises are a part, to any and all advances made on
the security thereof and to all renewal, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that the lenders holding any
such Security Device shall have no duty, liability or obligation to perform any
of the
19
obligations of Landlord under this Lease, but that in the event of Landlord's
Default with respect to any such obligation, Tenant will give any lender whose
name and address have been furnished Tenant in writing for such purposes notice
of Landlord's Default and allow such lender thirty (30) days following receipt
of such notice for the cure of said Default before invoking any remedies Tenant
may have by reason thereof. If any lender shall elect to have this Lease
superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give written notice
thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Security Device,
notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recording thereof.
8.01(b) ATTORNMENT Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of paragraph
8.01(c), Tenant agrees to attorn to a lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by any reason.
8.01(c) NON-DISTURBANCE With respect to any Security Device entered into
by Landlord after the execution of this Lease, Tenant's subordination of this
Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a non-disturbance agreement) in a
form reasonably acceptable to Tenant from the lender that Tenant's possession
and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be
disturbed so long as Tenant is not in breach hereof and attorns to the recorded
owner of the Premises
8.01(d) SELF-OPERATING Paragraph 8.01 is self-operating. However, Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver any documents needed to confirm this
arrangement.
8.02 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
8.02(a) OBLIGATION Either party ("Answering Party") shall from time to
time, within ten (10) business days after receiving a written request by the
other party ("Asking Party"), execute and deliver to the Asking Party a written
statement. This written statement, which may be relied upon by the Asking Party
and any third party with whom the Asking Party is dealing, shall certify:
(i) The accuracy of the Lease document;
(ii) The Beginning and Ending Dates of the Lease;
(iii) That the Lease is unmodified and in full effect or in full effect as
modified, stating the date and nature of the modification;
(iv) Whether to the Answering Party's knowledge the Asking Party is in
Default or whether the Answering Party has any claims or demands
against the Asking Party and, if so, specifying the Default, claim
or demand; and
(v) To otherwise correct and reasonably ascertainable facts that are
covered by the Lease terms.
20
8.02(b) REMEDY The Answering Party's failure to comply with its
obligation in paragraph 8.02(a) shall be a Default. Notwithstanding
subparagraphs 7.01(i), 7.01(iii), 7.01(v) and paragraph 7.03, the cure period
for this Default shall be ten (10) business days after the Answering Party
receives notice of the Default.
8.03 QUIET POSSESSION
Landlord covenants that, upon the payment of Rent and observance and performance
by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's
part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the
Premises, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
Landlord warrants that it owns the building free and clear of all encumbrances
except those listed below:
(i) Credit Agreement dated September 25, 1990, by and between Alliant
Techsystems Inc. and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York acting
as agent for certain banks and institutions.
If Tenant is not in Default and subject to the Lease terms and the above
encumbrances, Landlord warrants that Tenant's peaceable and quiet enjoyment of
the Premises shall not be disturbed by anyone.

Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxx
Metrum, Inc.
0000 X. Xxx Xxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000
RE: Letter of Understanding
Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:
As you know, Alliant Techsystems, Inc. ("Alliant") has entered into negotiating
with Chesapeake Park, Inc. ("Chesapeake"), as agent for Lockheed Xxxxxx Missile
and Space, for the lease of space in the building located at 0000 Xxx Xxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 ("Leased Building"). It is our understanding
that Metrum, Inc. ("Metrum") has verbally agreed to vacate certain space which
it currently leases in order to accommodate these negotiations.
Although Alliant and Chesapeake have arrived at a verbal understanding, they
have not yet entered into a written agreement and do not expect to execute a
formal document for at least sixty days. However, in order to meet Chesapeake's
anticipated time frame, Alliant has asked Metrum to vacate certain space in the
Leased Building within the next thirty days in the anticipation that Alliant and
Chesapeake will reach a formal agreement. This letter of understanding is given
to Metrum for the purpose of inducing Metrum to so vacate and take all other
actions necessary to properly prepare for Chesapeake's occupancy of the Leased
Building.
Based on such understanding, Alliant and Metrum hereby agree to the following:
1. Metrum will vacate approximately 34,000 square feet of currently leased
space located on the east side of the Leased Building. The space will be
vacated by November 30, 1995.
2. Metrum will pay its own expenses for relocating its Head and Motors
manufacturing activities to its remaining leased space.
In the event that Alliant and Chesapeake reach formal agreement as per the
Leased Building, Alliant and Metrum will be obligated as follows:
1. Metrum will be relieved of paying any rental expenses associated with the
vacated space as of November 30, 1995.
2. Chesapeake's occupancy of the Leased Building may necessitate Metrum's
relocation of its presently situated bathrooms and lobby. Alliant hereby
agrees and pledges to reimburse Metrum for all costs incurred by Metrum
should it become necessary to relocate such facilities. If building
operations require additional bathrooms for either Metrum or Chesapeake's
occupancy, every attempt shall be made for both parties to share the
existing bathroom facilities. In the event that additional bathrooms need
to be constructed, such bathrooms will be built next to existing
bathrooms and plumbing. Moreover, Alliant agrees that such relocated
facilities shall be of comparable quality and dimension and agrees to pay
for the expense associated therewith. Such expenses for the lobby are not
to exceed $50,000.00. Alliant shall be responsible for such costs.
3. Alliant and Metrum will enter into a written amendment to that certain
Industrial Lease dated March 29, 1993 entered into by and between Alliant
and Metrum which will formally recognize that Alliant has released Metrum
from any and all obligations associated with the vacated square footage
of the Leased Building.
34
4. The water tower lettering shall be painted to match the tower color with
no identity for either party. The monument sign will be enlarged (subject
to any city and county codes or comments) to accommodate both companies
with Lockheed Xxxxxx Missile & Space on top. Any other site signage will
be changed so as not to identify either company.
In the event that Alliant and Chesapeake fail to reach formal agreement as per
the Leased Building, Alliant and Metrum will be obligated as follows:
1. Alliant hereby agrees to provide Metrum with formal notification of the
irretrievable breakdown of its negotiations with Chesapeake within three
days following such event.
2. Alliant hereby agrees to pay and reimburse Metrum for the actual expense
incurred in its move from the leased space which occurred on November 30,
1995, and, if Metrum determines that it is necessary to move back into
the vacated space. Alliant hereby agrees to pay and reimburse Metrum for
the actual expenses incurred in such second move. The total amount of
Alliant's liability for such reimbursed actual expenses shall not exceed
$320,000.
Please show your acceptance of these terms and conditions by signing below.
Sincerely,
