    21.        DAMAGE
TO LEASED PREMISES

    


    In the
event the leased premises and/or the improvements of which the leased premises
are a part shall be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty or so badly
damaged that, in the opinion of Landlord, it is not feasible to repair or
rebuild the same, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon
written notice to Tenant.  If the leased premises shall be partially
damaged by fire or other casualty, except if caused by Tenant's negligence, and
said leased premises are not rendered untenantable thereby, as determined by
Landlord, an appropriate reduction of the rent shall be allowed for the
unoccupied portion of the leased premises until repair thereof shall be
substantially completed.  If the leased premises are rendered
untenantable thereby, except if caused by Tenant's negligence, Tenant may, at
its election, terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage. If Tenant
elects not to terminate the Lease, the rent shall abate in proportion to the
loss of use of the leased premises by Tenant during such
untenantability.

    


    22.        INSPECTION
OF AND RIGHT OF ENTRY TO LEASED PREMISES

    


    A. Tenant has inspected the leased

and employees, shall have the right to enter the leased premises at all times
during regular business hours and, at all times during emergencies, to examine
the leased premises, to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or
additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and Landlord shall be
allowed to take all materials into and upon said premises that may be required
thereon without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part,
and the rent reserved shall in no way abate while such repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of
business of Tenant or otherwise. During the one hundred twenty days
(120)  prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease or any
renewal thereof, Owner may exhibit the premises to prospective tenants and/or
purchasers and may place upon the leased premises the usual notice indicating
the leased premises are for lease and/or sale.

    


    23.        DEFAULT
- REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

    


    If Tenant
shall default in the payment of rent or in the keeping of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Lease to be kept and/or performed by Tenant and
if such default isn't cured within five (5) days after notice of default from
Landlord, Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter the
leased premises, remove all persons and property therefrom, without being liable
to indictment, prosecution for damage therefore, or for forcible entry and
detainer and repossess and enjoy the leased premises, together with all
additions thereto or alterations and improvements thereof.  Landlord
may, at its option, at any time and from time to time thereafter, relet the
leased premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant or otherwise, and
receive and collect the rents therefore and apply the same first to the payment
of such expenses as Landlord may have incurred in recovering possession and for
putting the same in good order and condition for rerental, and expense,
commissions and charges paid by Landlord in reletting the leased
premises.  Any such reletting may be for the remainder of the term of
this Lease or for a longer or shorter period.  In lieu of reletting
such leased premises, Landlord may occupy the same or cause the same to be
occupied by others.  Whether or not the leased premises or any part
thereof be relet, Tenant shall pay the Landlord the rent, and all other charges
required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of expiration of this Lease or such
recovered possession, as the case may be, and thereafter, Tenant, if required by
Landlord, shall pay to Landlord until the end of the term of this Lease, the
equivalent of the amount of all rent reserved herein and all other charges
required to be paid by Tenant, less the net amount received by Landlord for such
reletting, if any.  If the leased premises shall be reoccupied by
Landlord, then, from and after the date of repossession, Tenant shall be
discharged of any obligations to Landlord under the provisions hereof for the
payment of rent.  In the event of any default by Tenant, and
regardless of whether the premises shall be relet or possessed by Landlord,
fixtures, additions, furniture, and the like then on the premises may be
retained by Landlord. In the event Tenant is in default under the terms hereof
and, by the sole determination of Landlord, has abandoned the leased premises,
Landlord shall have the right to remove all the Tenant's property from the
leased premises and dispose of said property in such a manner as determined best
by Landlord, all at the cost and expense of Tenant and without liability of
Landlord for the actions so taken. In the event an assignment of Tenant's
business or property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, or, if the
Tenant's leasehold interest under the terms of this Agreement shall be levied
upon by execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any court of law, or, if
application be made for the appointment of a receiver for the business or
property of Tenant, or, if a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by or against
Tenant, then and in any such case, at Landlord's option, with or without notice,
landlord may terminate this Lease and immediately retake possession of the
leased premises without the same working any forfeiture of the obligations of
Tenant hereunder. In addition to remedy granted to Landlord by the terms hereof,
Landlord shall have available any and all rights and remedies available under
the Statutes of the State of Colorado. No remedy herein or otherwise conferred
upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy
but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by Statute.
Further, all powers and remedies given by this Lease to Landlord shall be
exercised, from time to time, and as often as occasion may arise or as may be
deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or
power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
considered to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence
thereof.  The acceptance of rental by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any breach of any covenants herein contained or of any of the
rights of Landlord to any remedies herein given.

    


    24.        LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS – RESPONSIBILITIES

    


    In the
event of proceeding at law or in equity by either party hereto, and if the
non-defaulting party shall pursue his rights through legal proceedings, then the
defaulting party shall pay all costs and expenses, including all reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the non-defaulting party in pursuing such remedy in
the event such non-defaulting party is awarded substantially the relief
requested.

    


    25.        HOLD
HARMLESS OF TENANT

    


    Tenant
will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims,
losses, expenses, costs, judgments, and/or demands arising from the conduct of
Tenant on the leased premises and/or on account of any operation or action by
Tenant and/or from and against all claims arising from any breach or default on
the part of Tenant or any act of negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors,
servants, employees, licensees, or invitees; or any accident, injury or death of
any person or damage to any property in or about the leased
premises.

     

    26.        ASSIGNMENT
OR SUBLETTING

    


    Tenant
may not assign the Lease, or sublet the leased premises without the consent of
Landlord; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, no
such assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations
hereunder, and performance of the covenants herein by subtenants shall be
considered as performance pro tanto by the Tenant.

    


    27.        WARRANTY
OF TITLE

    


    Landlord
covenants it has good right to lease the leased premises in the manner described
herein and that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, and enjoy
the premises during the term of the Lease.

    Landlord
shall provide Tenant non-exclusive access to the leased premises through and
across land and/or other improvements owned by Landlord.

ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY

    


    The
parties agree that Landlord shall have complete freedom of negotiation and
settlement of all matters pertaining to the acquisition of the property by any
governmental body, it being understood and agreed that any financial settlement
respecting land to be taken whether resulting from negotiation and agreement or
condemnation proceedings, shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, there
being no sharing whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant of any sum received in
settlement. In the event of any such governmental taking, Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this lease on the date possession is delivered to the
governmental body.  Such taking of the property by a governmental body
shall not be a breach of this Lease by Landlord nor give rise to any claims in
Tenant for damages or compensation from Landlord.

    


    30.        CHANGES
AND ADDITIONS TO IMPROVEMENTS

    


    Landlord
reserves the right at any time to make alterations or additions to the
improvements of which the leased premises are a part and/or to build additions
or other structures adjoining said improvements. Landlord also reserves the
right to construct other buildings and/or improvements in the immediate area of
the improvements in which the leased premises are located and to make
alterations or additions thereto, all as Landlord shall determine. Easements for
light and air are not included in the leasing of the leased premises to Tenant.
Landlord further reserves the exclusive right to the roof of the improvements of
which the leased premises are a part except as provided for in this Lease
Agreement. Landlord also reserves the right at any time to relocate, vary and
adjust the size of any of the improvements, parking areas or other common areas
relating to the land and/or improvements of which the leased premises are a
part, provided however, that all such changes shall be in compliance with the
minimum requirements of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the
property.  Any such change shall in no way interfere with Tenant’s
ability to conduct Tenant’s business.

    


    


    


    31.        SUBORDINATION.

    


    The
Tenant agrees that its Lease rights will be subordinate to any lending
institutions making loans on the real property of which the leased premises are
a part.  The Tenant agrees to sign reasonable documents reflecting
this subordination when, and if required by Landlord.

    


    32.        INTEREST
ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS.

    


    Any
amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at one and one-half
percent (1 1/2%) per month from the due date until paid.  Payment of
such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this
Lease.

    


    33.        LATE
CHARGE.

    


    The
Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant, in addition to any amounts
due under this Lease above, a monthly collection charge for any payment due to
Landlord hereunder which is delinquent five days or longer, said charge being
$250 or three (3) percent of said payment, whichever sum shall be
greater.
