payments, the inconvenience and cost to Landlord of timely performing its own
obligations by obtaining such sums from other sources, and processing and
accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the

charge equal to ten percent (10%) of all sums due if such sums are not paid by
5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the date when they are due. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment. Acceptance of such late
charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, Time is of the essence and
Landlord shall not be required to provide notice or grace period to Tenant
relating to the payments which Tenant is obligated to make pursuant to this
Lease.

hereof the sum set forth on Exhibit A as a security deposit for Tenant's
faithful performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder (the "Security Deposit").

this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a sum as an addition to the
Security Deposit equal to the amount of the increase. If Tenant fails to pay
Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges when due hereunder, or
otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may
use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment
of any Rent or other charge in default, or for the payment of any other sum to
which Landlord may become entitled by reason of Tenant's default, or to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If
Landlord uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant
shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefore deliver to Landlord an
amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount and
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord
shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general
accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, the
Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not been applied by Landlord, shall
be returned without payment of interest to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to
the last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30)
days after the expiration of the term of this Lease.

rights and remedies, it is agreed that Landlord may, at its discretion and
without notice, enter upon the Premises to take possession of, assemble and
collect the Collateral or to render it unusable. Upon default by Tenant,
Landlord may, at its discretion, require Tenant to assemble the Collateral and
to make it available to Landlord at a place Landlord designates which is
mutually convenient; and written notice mailed to Tenant ten (10) days prior to
the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the date after which
private sale of the Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice
of such a sale of the Collateral.

principal categories of expense), and a separate written summary of Taxes for

Share of Operating Costs, Utility Costs and Taxes and shall show the amounts
paid or refunded, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days after the

Utility Costs and Taxes shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation with respect
to payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs, Utility Costs
and Taxes.
7.3 PARTIAL YEAR PROBATION. During the first and last years of the Term,
Tenant's responsibility for Operating Costs, Utility Costs and Taxes shall be
adjusted in the proportion that the number of days of that calendar year during
which the Lease is in effect bears to three hundred sixty (360). Tenant's
obligations under this Article 7 for the payment of Operating Costs, Utility
Costs and Taxes during the Lease Term, including the payment of any deficiency
