parcel of real property (the "Property") legally described in Appendix B, together with a non-exclusive right, subject to the provisions hereof, including any reasonable rules and
regulations adopted from time to time by Landlord and any easements, declarations, covenants, conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter recorded with respect to the Property, governing the use
thereof, to use all Appurtenances thereto, as hereinafter defined, designated by Landlord for the exclusive or non-exclusive use of tenants of the Building or the Building Complex, as

        Subject to the provisions of the Tenant Improvement Work Agreement attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Appendix C (the "Work Letter"),

ARTICLE 4.
  
    COMPLETION OF THE PREMISES    
  


        Landlord, subject to delays beyond its control, hereby agrees to perform its obligations with respect to the Leased Premises as set forth hereinafter and in the
Work Letter. Other than as set forth herein and in the Work Letter, Tenant shall accept the Leased Premises in its "as is" condition, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any representations
or warranties with respect to the suitability of the Leased Premises for Tenant's use, or otherwise, and shall have no other obligation for the completion of the Leased Premises. By taking possession
of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that the same is in good order, repair, and condition, and satisfactorily completed in accordance with Landlord's obligations hereunder,
subject to Landlord's obligation to complete "punch lists" items, if any, as provided for in the Work Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants that the
plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems
serving the Leased Premises shall be in good operating condition and repair and that the roof is water tight and in good condition and repair on the Commencement Date. 


 
 

ARTICLE 5.
  
    RENT    
  


        Section 5.1.    Base Rent.    Tenant agrees to pay Landlord during the entire Primary Term the sum of Three
Million, Forty-Nine Thousand, Two Hundred Fifty-Six and NO/100 U.S. Dollars ($3,049,256,00) in monthly installments as detailed below (the "Base Rent"). The first full monthly
installment of Base Rent shall be payable upon the execution hereof and each succeeding monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar
month thereafter during the Primary Term or any extensions hereof. If the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, there shall be due and payable on or before such
date as Base Rent for the balance of such calendar month a sum equal to that proportion of the rent for the first full calendar month as herein provided, which the number of days from the Commencement
Date to the end of such calendar month bears to the total number of days in such month. The Base Rent schedule for the Term of the Lease is as follows: 



	Rentable Sq. Ft.

Premises
	 	Lease Year
	 	Annual

Minimum Rent
	 	Monthly

Minimum Rent

	25,624	 	1	 	$	397,172.00	 	$	33,097.67
	25,624	 	2	 	$	409,984.00	 	$	34,165.34
	25,624	 	3	 	$	422,796.00	 	$	35,233.00
	25,624	 	4	 	$	435,608.00	 	$	36,300.67
	25,624	 	5	 	$	448,420.00	 	$	37,368.34
	25,624	 	6	 	$	461,232.00	 	$	38,436.00
	25,624	 	7	 	$	474,044.00	 	$	39,503.67





        Section 5.2.    No Offsets.    The Base Rent and all other sums or charges required by this Lease to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord, all of which are herein sometimes collectively referred to as "Rent" shall be paid to Landlord without notice or demand, unless expressly provided for herein, and without deduction
or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of Landlord in the Building, or if no such office exists, to Landlord at the address provided in Article 32, or to such
other person or place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. 



        Section 5.3.    Interest on Late Payments.    Any Rent or other amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease that is not paid within nine (9) days after the date when due shall bear interest from the due date until the date paid at the annual rate of
eighteen percent (18%) six percent (6%) over the Prime Rate as of the due date, or the maximum rate allowed by Colorado usury laws, 


2






 

whichever
is less, provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to only one such nine (9) day grace period in each calendar year, after which time
interest shall accrue on Rent or other amounts from the due date until the date same are paid. The payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this
Lease. The failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to charge and collect such interest in
connection with any other late payments. The covenants herein to pay Rent shall be independent of any other covenant set forth in this Lease. The phrase "Prime Rate" as used in this
Lease shall mean the rate of interest quoted from time to time by the Wall Street Journal or, if such publication ceases to publish such rate, the prime rate quoted from time to time by a national
banking association selected by Landlord. 


        Section 5.4.    Late Payment and Return Check Charges.    In addition to the interest charges provided for in
the preceding Section 5.3., in the event any Rent owing hereunder is not paid within nine (9) calendar
days of the due date, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses not herein contemplated, the exact amount of which will be difficult if not impossible to
determine. Accordingly, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord an additional one-time late charge for each such late payment in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the amount of such late
payment. Acceptance of such late charges 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 under this Lease. There shall be an additional charge of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) for any check submitted by Tenant to Landlord which is returned unpaid by Tenant's bank of
depository. 


 
 

ARTICLE 6.
  
    ADDITIONAL RENT    
  


        All other sums as are required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in addition to Base Rent, including without limitation Operating Costs as defined and
determined below in Article 7, shall be referred to as "Additional Rent". All such Additional Rent shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable in the manner provided and recoverable as Rent
and Landlord shall have all rights specified in this Lease against Tenant for default in payment thereof as in the case of arrears of Rent. It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the
return to Landlord under this Lease shall be absolutely "net". Accordingly, Tenant shall be responsible for and obligated to pay its share of all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Landlord in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Building Complex, excepting only those costs and expenses which are expressly excluded. 


 
 

ARTICLE 7.
  
    OPERATING COSTS    
  


        Section 7.1.    Payment of Operating Costs.    Tenant shall, in addition to Base Rent, pay to Landlord its
proportionate share (the "Tenant's Proportionate Share") of all Operating Costs, as herein defined, incurred by Landlord during the Primary Term of this Lease and any extensions thereof. Such payments
shall be made to Landlord, in advance, in monthly installments based upon the estimated annual Operating Costs subject to adjustment after the end of the year on the basis of the actual Operating
Costs as determined in Section 7.4 below. Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be determined, from time to time by Landlord, by dividing the leasable area of the Leased Premises by the leasable
area of the Building Complex and multiplying the resulting quotient (to the second decimal point) by one hundred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant causes a disproportionate
amount of Operating Costs, it shall be specially allocated a fair and equitable charge for the same and Landlord may, at its election and Tenant's cost, install separate meters to measure Tenant's
usage. 


3





 



        Section 7.2.    Definition of Operating Costs.    The term "Operating Costs" as used herein shall mean all
expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature including appropriate reserves (but not replacement of capital investment items, except as hereinafter provided, nor costs specifically
billed to and paid by specific tenants) which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building Complex, including

pay to Landlord in escrow an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord's reasonable estimate of
Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the payment is made, as provided for in Section 7.4 below. 


        Section 7.4.    Estimate Statement.    Landlord shall provide Tenant with a yearly statement setting forth
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Operating Costs ("Estimate Statement"), including, either separately or together with the other Operating Expenses, an estimate of taxes and insurance for the
next calendar year, which such Estimate Statement may be revised from time to time as is determined reasonably necessary by the Landlord but no more than one time for every six (6) month period
under this Lease. Landlord shall furnish the first Estimate Statement on or before the Commencement Date and thereafter within ninety (90) days after the close of the calendar year or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably possible. Until a new Estimate Statement is provided, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly estimates in the manner set forth above based upon the previous Estimate
Statement. Landlord shall, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year, provide Tenant with a reconciliation statement comparing the
Operating Costs paid by Tenant with Landlord's actual expenses for such calendar year. In the event such reconciliation statement reveals an underpayment of Operating Costs, Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days, pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment. If, on the other hand, the reconciliation statement reveals an overpayment, Landlord shall immediately refund the amount of
such overpayment to Tenant. Provided, however, no refunds in Operating Costs or amounts escrowed hereunder shall be paid to Tenant if Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease

applicable cure periods, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall have the right at all reasonable times during Landlord's normal business hours, and upon a minimum of fourteen

audits shall be performed by a national or regional company with experience in performing such audits. Audit requests shall be limited to the immediately preceding three (3) calendar years,
and the year in which the Base Rent is calculated if such year is not within the said three (3) year period. No audit may be conducted for a calendar year, or portion thereof, which falls
outside the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if an audit has previously been conducted for a particular calendar year by this, or any other tenant, Tenant
shall accept a copy of the prior audit in lieu of conducting a separate audit. If such audit discloses an overstatement by Landlord, then Landlord shall immediately refund such
overage to Tenant. If, on the other hand, the audit discloses an understatement, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord within ten
(10) days after completion, the additional amounts due. 


        Section 7.6.    Standard of Operation.    Landlord agrees that during the Term of this Lease the Building
Complex shall be operated in a reasonable and prudent manner as a suburban office building and that all costs and expenses (including salaries and wages) includable in Operating Costs shall be
comparable to the generally prevailing costs which would then be paid or incurred therefor by a reasonably prudent operator of a similar office building in the marketplace generally similar to the
Building Complex as reasonably determined by Landlord.

Landlord for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Leased Premises and the Building Complex and the preservation of good order thereon, are expressly made a part hereof, and Tenant agrees to obey

Complex, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as Rent within ten (10) calendar days after bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord. In determining whether
increased premiums are a result of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building Complex showing the various
components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority
or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Leased Premises; provided that Tenant shall not be required to construct any capital improvements in order to

and its agents, shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Leased Premises and conduct tests and investigations at any time upon

determines from any such inspection, tests or investigations that a violation of Tenant's Environmental Obligations exists or existed with respect to Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
upon demand and in addition to all other damages provided for herein, all of Landlord's costs of such inspection, tests and investigations.

receipt of demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for all amounts expended in connection with such cure. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business but shall
not be liable for any interference caused thereby provided that Landlord acts in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither the written consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage or disposal
of Hazardous Materials, nor the compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall excuse Tenant from its indemnification of Landlord hereunder, which such indemnification shall survive the
termination of this Lease. 


        E.    Landlord
covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all obligations, claims, including any investigations,
administrative claims and claims for injunctive relief, loss, cost, damage expense or liability, including without limitation any liability arising under any Environmental Laws, plus reasonable
attorneys fees, incurred by or asserted against Tenant resulting from any failure of Landlord to comply with any Environmental Laws or regulation, with respect to the Leased Premises prior to the term

condition giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction, or threatened reduction of coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after written notice thereof, Landlord may, at
its option, enter upon the Leased Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to Landlord as Additional Rent, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. In the event that

services under Article 9 hereof. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after
written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. There shall be no abatement of Rent by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising
from the making of any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to any portion of the Building Complex or the Leased Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant
waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereinafter in effect. 


        Section 12.5.    Damage by Tenant.    If the Building, elevators, boilers, engines, pipes, and other apparatus,
or members or elements of the Building (or any of them) used for the purpose of climate control of the Building or operations of elevators, or if the water pipes, drainage pipes, electric lighting, or
other equipment of the Building, the roof or outside walls of the Building, or parking facilities, or any other Appurtenances become damaged or are destroyed through the negligence, carelessness, or
misuse of Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, or invitees anyone permitted by Tenant to be in or on the Building Complex, or
through Tenant or such parties, then the cost of necessary repairs, replacements, or alterations performed by Landlord shall be borne solely by Tenant, who shall, on demand, forthwith pay the same to
Landlord as Rent.

ARTICLE 13.
  
    ABANDONMENT    
  


        Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Leased Premises at any time during the Term hereof, without continuing to pay sums due hereunder and
complying with all other obligations contained in this Lease. If Tenant shall abandon, vacate, or surrender (whether at the end of the Primary Term or otherwise) the Leased Premises, or
shall be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, then any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned. If Tenant elects to vacate
or abandon or surrender the Leased Premises while continuing to pay sums due and to comply with its obligations hereunder, it shall nevertheless provide Landlord with written notice of whether it
intends to reoccupy the Leased Premises during the Term. In the event Tenant does not intend to reoccupy the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to recapture the
Leased Premises in order to relet the same to a new tenant. In such event, Tenant shall pay all rent and other sums due hereunder through the date of recapture by Landlord, together with all costs of
reletting including tenant finish and leasing commissions. 


 
 

ARTICLE 14.
  
    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING    
  


        Section 14.1    Limitation on Assignment or Subletting.    Except as expressly set forth
below, Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or
shall not suffer any other person to occupy or use the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld except as hereinafter
expressly otherwise provided. Landlord agrees not to withhold consent to any proposed assignment of Tenant's entire interest in this Lease or to a subletting of the entire Leased Premises for all of
the then remaining term of this Lease less one (1) day, provided Tenant requests the same in writing, and provided: (i) at the time thereof, Tenant is not in default under this Lease;
(ii) Landlord, in its discretion reasonably exercised, determines that the reputation, business, proposed use of the Leased Premises, and financial responsibility of and by the proposed
assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, are satisfactory to Landlord; (iii) any assignee shall expressly assume all the obligations of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed;
(iv) such consent, if given, shall not release Tenant of any of its obligations (including, without limitation, its obligation to pay Rent) under this Lease; and (v) Tenant and/or
Tenant's assignee in the case of an assignment specifically agree to pay over to Landlord, as Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums provided to be paid under the terms and
conditions of such sublease or assignment which would be in excess of the amounts otherwise required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease after deducting the reasonable costs of
such subletting or assignment, including without limitation broker's commissions, reasonable attorneys fees, and the cost of any alterations reasonably required in connection therewith; provided that
the fair market value of any furniture or equipment leased or sold by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting shall be excluded from such calculation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any consideration given to Tenant by a subleasee or assignee in exchange for a transaction contemplated in Section 14.4 shall not be deemed amounts to be paid by Tenant under the
Lease. Any assignment, subletting, or occupancy without Landlord's prior written consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.
Neither this Lease nor any interest therein shall be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld. 


        Section 14.2.    Acceptance of Performance No Waiver.    If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises
or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after the occurrence of any default under this Lease, collect the Rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant
and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, 


15





 




subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as the Tenant hereof, or constitute a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of
all covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Unless otherwise permitted below in Section 14.4, a sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of its assets
or all or substantially all of its stock, if Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, a merger of Tenant with another corporation, or the transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the stock in a corporate tenant whose stock is not publicly traded, or the transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the beneficial ownership interests in a
partnership tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord shall constitute a prohibited assignment hereunder. Consent by Landlord to any one assignment or subletting shall not in any way be
construed as relieving Tenant from obtaining the Landlord's express written consent to any further assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding the consent of Landlord to any subletting or assignment,
and also in the event of an assignment or subletting under Section 14.4 below, Tenant shall nevertheless not be relieved from its
primary obligations hereunder to Landlord including, but not limited to, the payment of all Rent, taxes and insurance premiums as herein provided, and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. 


        Section 14.3.    Landlord to Approve Documents.    All documents utilized by Tenant to evidence any subletting
or assignment to which Landlord has consented shall be subject to prior reasonable approval by Landlord or its attorney. Tenant shall pay on demand all of Landlord's
actual reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, not to exceed $500.00, incurred in determining whether or not to consent to any requested subletting or assignment and in
reviewing and approving such documentation. All public advertisements of the assignment of the Lease or sublet of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be subject to the prior approval of
Landlord, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or denied. 


        Section 14.4.    Permitted
Transferees.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant,
without Landlord's prior written consent (but with written notice thereof) may sublet the Leased Premises or assign this Lease to: (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, franchisee, division or
corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant; (ii) a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization or
government action; or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenant's assets or stock (collectively "Permitted Transferees"). Provided, however, that any Permitted Transferee must have a net
worth of at least Fifty Million Dollars equal to or greater than that of Tenant, and no such assignment or sublease shall operate to release any security
obtained by Landlord from Tenant under the Lease, including the Security Deposit, the Additional Security Deposit or, the Letter of Credit. and any personal
guarantees. For purposes of this Lease, a transfer of stock in connection with any sale of Tenant's capital stock through any public exchange thereof shall not be deemed an
assignment, subletting or other transfer of this Lease or the Leased Premises requiring Landlord's consent. 


 
 

ARTICLE 15.
  
    SIGNS AND ADVERTISING    
  


        Tenant shall not install, paint, display, inscribe, place, or affix any sign, picture, advertisement, notice, lettering, or direction in the interior of the
Leased Premises which is visible from the outside of the Building. Landlord will prescribe a uniform pattern of identification signs for Tenant, to be placed on the outside of the doors leading into
the Leased Premises, and other than such identification signs, Tenant shall not install, paint, display, inscribe, place, affix, or otherwise attach, any sign, picture, advertisement, notice,
lettering, or direction on the outside of the Leased Premises for exterior view without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall have standard identification in the Building
lobby directory. Landlord represents that there is currently no monument or exterior signage available to tenants in the Building Complex. Landlord further represents that if the same ever exists,
Tenant 


16





 

shall
have equal rights, with all other tenants in the Building Complex, and subject in all instances to the Landlord's reasonable approval regarding size, design, and location, to
participate in such signage. Provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide such signage or to seek approval of the same from any governmental or other
entity. 


 
 

ARTICLE 16.
  
    DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, INJURY TO PERSONS    
  


        Section 16.1    Tenant's Waiver of Claims.    Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to
Landlord under this Lease, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives all claims (except claims caused by or resulting from the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, or employees)
which Tenant, Tenant's successor, or permitted assigns may have against Landlord, its agents, servants, or employees for loss, theft, or damage to property and for injuries to persons, including
death, in, upon, or about the Leased Premises, the Building, or the Building Complex, from any cause whatsoever. Tenant will protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord, its agents, servants, and
employees exempt and harmless from and on account of any damage or injury to person, including death, or to the goods, wares, and merchandise of any person, including the loss of the use thereof,
occasioned by Tenant's use or occupancy of or otherwise arising in any manner from, on, or out of the Leased Premises, other than that caused by or resulting from the gross negligence of
Landlord, or its agents, servants or employees. 


        Section 16.2.    Negligence of Third Parties.    Neither Landlord nor its agents, servants, or employees shall
be liable to Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any other tenant or occupant of the Building or by any owner or occupant of adjoining or contiguous property. Tenant agrees to
pay for all damage to the Building Complex, the Leased Premises, as well as all damage to tenants or occupants thereof caused by Tenant's misuse or neglect of the Leased Premises, its apparatus or
appurtenances, or caused by any licensee, contractor, agent, or employee of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to one another for any loss,
damage, or injury caused by its act or neglect to the extent that the other party is required to obtain insurance coverage against such loss, damage or injury under the provisions of this Lease. 


        Section 16.3.    Tenant's Property.    Particularly, but not in limitation of the foregoing paragraph, all
property belonging to Tenant, or any occupant of the Leased Premises, that is in the Building or the Leased
Premises, shall be there at the risk of Tenant or other person only, and Landlord or its agents or employees (except in the case of gross negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees) shall not
be liable for: (i) damage to or theft of or misappropriation of such property; (ii) any damage to property entrusted to Landlord, its agents, or employees, if any; (iii) loss of
or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, by any means whatsoever; (iv) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas,
electricity, snow, water, or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances, or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street, subsurface, or from any other place,
or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever; (v) interference with the light, air, or other incorporeal hereditament; or (vi) any latent defect in the Leased Premises or the
Building Complex. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Leased Premises or in the Building Complex or of observed defects therein or in the fixtures or
equipment. 


        Section 16.4.    Tenant to Perform.    In the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against
Landlord by reason of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, or employees, then Tenant, upon notice
from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant hereby agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability resulting
therefrom, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

ARTICLE 17.
  
    TENANT'S INSURANCE    
  


        Tenant shall, during the entire Term of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect the following types of
insurance: 


        Section 17.1.    Fire and Extended Coverage.    Fire and extended coverage insurance, including endorsements
for vandalism, malicious mischief, theft, sprinkler leakage, covering all of Tenant's property, including, but not limited to, furniture, fittings, installations, alterations, additions, partitions,
fixtures, other personal property, and anything in the nature of a leasehold improvement, including the office front, doors and windows for the Leased Premises in an amount equal to the full
replacement cost of such property without deduction for depreciation. 


        Section 17.2.    Public Liability.    Public liability insurance, including bodily injury and property damage,
personal injury, contractual liability with respect to all claims, demands, or actions by any person, firm, or corporation occurring in or about the Leased Premises, or in any way arising from,
related to, or connected with the conduct and operation of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises or Tenant's use of the Leased Premises. Such policies shall be occurrence based and shall be written
on a comprehensive basis, with limits not less than $1,000,000.00, and such higher limits as Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord may require from time to time. 


        Section 17.3.    Business
Interruption.    Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse the Tenant for direct or indirect loss of
earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Leased Premises or to the Building as a result of such
perils. 


        Section 17.4    Other Insurance.    Any other form or forms of insurance as the mortgagees of Landlord may
reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself, including, without limitation, Worker's Compensation Insurance. 


        Section 17.5.    Certificates.    All policies shall be taken out with insurers acceptable to Landlord and in
form satisfactory from time to time to Landlord, shall be written as primary policies not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry, and shall name the Landlord as an
additional insured. Tenant agrees that certificates of insurance or, if required by Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord, certified copies of each such insurance policy shall be delivered to
Landlord as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than twenty (20) calendar days after Tenant takes possession of all or any part of the Leased
Premises. All policies shall require that at least thirty (30) calendar days, prior written notice be delivered to Landlord by the insurer prior to termination, cancellation, or material change
in such insurance. 


        Section 17.6.    Use of Proceeds.    Tenant agrees that in the event of damage or destruction to the leasehold
improvements on the Leased Premises covered by insurance required to be taken out by Tenant pursuant to this Article 17, Tenant shall use the proceeds of such insurance for the purpose of
repairing or restoring such leasehold improvements. In the event of damage or destruction of the Building entitling the Landlord to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 18 hereof, then, if
the Leased Premises have also been damaged, Tenant will pay to Landlord all of its insurance proceeds relating to the leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises, and if the Leased Premises have not
been damaged, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, the leasehold improvements and the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE 18.
  
    DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION    
  


        Section 18.1.    Right to Terminate.    In the event the Leased Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or
other insured casualty, and the insurance proceeds have been made available therefor by the holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Building, the damage shall be repaired by
and at the expense of Landlord to substantially the condition as existed prior to the casualty, to the extent of such insurance proceeds available therefor, provided such
repairs can, in Landlord's sole opinion, be completed within one hundred twenty (120) eighty (180) calendar days after
the occurrence of such damage, without the payment of overtime or other premiums. Until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises which is
unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business; provided, however, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents, or invitees, there shall be no abatement of Rent.
If repairs cannot, in Landlord's sole opinion, be made within said one hundred twenty (120) eighty (180) calendar day
period, Landlord shall notify Tenant within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such damage as to whether or not Landlord shall have elected to make such
repairs. If Landlord elects not to make such repairs which cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) eighty
(180) calendar days, then either party may, by written notice to the other, cancel this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. Provided, however, Tenant shall in
such case not have the right to terminate the Lease if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents or
invitees. In the event that the Leased Premises or Building is damaged such that more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the same is rendered untenantable, or if insurance proceeds are insufficient or
unavailable to repair the damage, Landlord may, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given not more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the damage.
Except as provided in this Section 18, there shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury, inconvenience, temporary limitation of access or interference to
or with Tenant's business or property arising from the making of any necessary repairs, or any alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Leased Premises, or in or to
fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein necessitated by such damage. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's furniture and furnishings or on any
fixtures or equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, and that Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage caused by fire or other cause, or to make any
repairs or replacements to or of improvements installed in the Leased Premises by or for Tenant at Tenant's cost. If any casualty, not caused or contributed to by Tenant and which
materially and adversely affects Tenant's ability to operate its business at the Leased Premises, occurs in the last year of the Term, and such damage may not reasonably be repaired within sixty(60)
days thereafter, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. 


        Section 18.2.    Landlord's Insurance.    Landlord covenants and agrees that, throughout the Term hereof, it
will insure the Building (excluding foundations, excavations and other non-insurable items) and the machinery, boilers, and equipment contained therein owned by Landlord (excluding any
property with respect to which Tenant is obliged to insure pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 hereof) against damage by fire and extended perils coverage in such reasonable amounts as
would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar property in the same locale. Landlord will also, throughout the Term, carry public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the
operation of the Building in reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar property in the same locale. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any
other form or forms of insurance as it or the mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably determine to be advisable. The cost of all such insurance shall be an Operating Cost pursuant to Article 7.
Notwithstanding the contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums, as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to 


19





 




receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord, and that such insurance will be for the sole benefit of Landlord, with no coverage for Tenant for any risk insured against. 


 
 

ARTICLE 19.
  
    ENTRY BY LANDLORD    
  


        Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant, except in the case of an
emergency for which no notice shall be required, for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, to supply janitorial services and any other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant
hereunder, to show same to prospective purchasers or and within the last nine months of the Lease Term to prospective tenants of the
Building, and to make such alterations, repairs, improvements, or additions, whether structural or otherwise, to the Leased Premises or to the Building Complex as Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable. Landlord may enter by means of a master key, without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due
care for Tenant's property, and without affecting this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts on any such entry not to unreasonably interrupt or interfere with Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Leased Premises. 


 
 

ARTICLE 20.
  
    DEFAULT BY TENANT    
  


        Section 20.1.    Events of Default.    Each one of the following events is herein referred to as an "event of
default": 


        A.    Tenant
shall fail to make due and punctual payment of any Rent within five (5) days following the date when due; 


        B.    Tenant
shall vacate or abandon the Leased Premises except as expressly permitted by Article 13; 


        C.    This
Lease or the estate of Tenant hereunder shall be transferred to or shall pass to or devolve upon any other person or party except in the manner set forth in
Article 14; 


        D.    This
Lease or the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be taken upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or shall be taken upon or subject
to any attachment at the instance of any creditor of or claimant against Tenant, and said attachment shall not be discharged or disposed of within fifteen
(15) sixty (60) calendar days after the levy thereof; 


        E.    The
filing of any petition or the commencement of any case or proceeding by the Tenant under any provision or chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization; or the adjudication that the Tenant is insolvent or bankrupt, or the entry of an order for
relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to Tenant; 


        F.    The
filing of any petition or the commencement of any case or proceeding described in Section 20.1 (E) above against the Tenant, unless such petition and
all proceedings initiated thereby are dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of such filing; the filing of an answer by Tenant admitting the allegations of any such petition;
or the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, trustee
or receiver for all or any assets of the Tenant, unless such appointment is vacated or dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of such appointment or taking of such possession; 


        G.    The
insolvency of the Tenant or the execution by the Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the convening by Tenant of a meeting of its creditors, or
any class thereof, for the 


20






 




purposes of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts; or the failure of the Tenant to generally pay its debts as they mature; 


        H.    Tenant
shall fail to take possession of the Leased Premises thirty (30) sixty
(60) calendar days following the date the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy; or 


        I.    Tenant
shall fail to perform any of the other agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof on Tenant's part to be performed, and such non-performance
shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, or if such performance cannot be reasonably had within such fifteen
(15) calendar day period, Tenant shall not in good faith have commenced such performance within such fifteen (15) calendar day period and shall not thereafter diligently proceed to
completion. 


        Section 20.2    Remedies of Landlord.    If any one or more events of default shall happen, then Landlord shall
have the right at Landlord's election, then or at any time thereafter, as may be permitted by applicable law without demand or notice, to reenter and take possession of
the Leased Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as Landlord's former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either,
without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or breach of covenants or prior conditions. Should Landlord take possession pursuant to
legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law including a proceeding for possession pursuant to Colorado's Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer Statutes, Landlord may, from time to
time, either: 


        A.    Without
terminating this Lease, attempt to relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the Building of which the
Leased Premises are a part, in Landlord's or Tenant's name, but for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than a period which would otherwise have constituted the
balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include necessary concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Leased Premises) as Landlord,
in its sole discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive the Rents therefor. If Landlord elects to attempt to relet the Leased Premises the following provisions shall apply: 



        (1)  Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises after all other space available for leasing in the Building has been let, but, Landlord shall not have
any duty to lease the Leased Premises
below the then current market rental rates being obtained for competing office buildings in the Denver Metropolitan area and shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the
Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon such reletting; 


        (2)  No
such reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such intention be given to Tenant; 


        (3)  No
notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and unlawful detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease
unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right following any such reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice,
in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in said notice; 


        (4)  If
Landlord elects to take possession of the Leased Premises as provided in this Section 20.2 without terminating the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
(a) the Rent and other sums as herein provided, which would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less (b) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased
Premises after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but without limitation, all 



21





 





repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, expenses of employees, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting; and 


        (5)  If,
in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing term, or the Leased Premises covered thereby include other leased premises not part
of the Leased Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses incurred in connection therewith as provided aforesaid will be made in determining the net
proceeds received from such reletting. In addition, in determining the net proceeds from such reletting, any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay such
other amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Rent and all other amounts owing hereunder would have been payable if possession had not been retaken and Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the same from Tenant on each such day. 




        B.    Give
Tenant written notice of intention to terminate this Lease on the date of such given notice, or on any later date specified therein, and on the date specified in
such notice, Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and the Lease shall thereupon be terminated, except as to Tenant's liability hereunder as hereinafter provided, as if the
expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the term herein originally demised. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph B, or
terminated pursuant to a proceeding for possession under the Colorado Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer Statutes, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent
and other sums which would have been owing by Tenant hereunder for the balance of the Term had this Lease not been terminated, less the net
proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but without
limitation, the expenses enumerated in paragraph A above, if permitted by applicable law. Landlord shall be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on
the days on which the Rent and other amounts would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same from Tenant on each such day.
Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, in the event this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall, if permitted by applicable law, be entitled to recover forthwith against
Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the worth, at the time of termination, of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent reserved in this Lease for the
balance of the Term hereof over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period plus all amounts incurred by Landlord in order to obtain possession of the Leased Premises
and relet the same, including attorneys' fees, reletting expenses, alterations and repair costs, brokerage commissions and all other like amounts. 


        Section 20.3.    Cumulative Remedies.    Suit or suits for the recovery of the Rent and other amounts and
damages set forth hereinabove may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord's election, and unless expressly so provided, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone
the filing of such suit. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter

APPENDIX C
  
    Tenant Improvement Work Agreement    
  



        1.    Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an allowance of Four Hundred Seventy Six Thousand Four
Hundred Eighty and NO/100 U.S. Dollars ($476,480.00) (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") for the costs of constructing Tenant improvements to the Leased Premises in accordance with the
preliminary space plan as set forth in Appendix C-1 hereto and as may be revised by the final space plan, to be approved by Tenant within
ten (10) days after Lease execution (the "Space Plan"), and the Tenant Improvement Plan, as defined below, inclusive of any and all space planning, architectural and design and
engineering fees and expenses and municipal fees (collectively "Tenant Work"). The cost of the Tenant Work shall also include any costs resulting from changes ordered by the Tenant and
reasonably approved by the Landlord plus any costs resulting from rulings, interpretations or instructions from Building, fire or other regulatory officials having
jurisdiction over the work. 


        In
the event that the Landlord determines, based upon the final bid from Landlord's contractor, that the actual cost of the Tenant Work, as contemplated by
the Space Plan, and the Tenant Improvement Plan will or may exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Tenant shall, the Tenant, prior to the
Landlord commencing construction and unless Tenant elects to revise the Tenant Improvement Plan to reduce the scope and costs of the Tenant Work, be solely
responsible for the costs and expenses for the Tenant Work which exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, up to the amount of the final bid. Tenant shall deposit with the Landlord
sufficient funds equal to the difference between such estimated cost of amount of
the final bid for the Tenant Work less
and the Tenant Improvement Allowance (the "Excess Costs"). Upon completion of the Tenant work and upon receipt of the final
costs, a final adjustment shall be made between the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the funds which are to be provided by the Tenant towards the Tenant Work.
Provided, however, Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of any additional amounts for the Tenant Work except for the as set forth herein and in paragraph 2
below with respect to change orders and Excess Costs for the Additional Work, or and additional costs otherwise caused by Tenant. Tenant
agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to a construction supervision and management fee in the amount of eight percent (8%) of the cost of the Tenant Work which fee shall be charged against the Tenant
Improvement Allowance. 


        2.    Tenant Work. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of the Lease, submit to Landlord for approval
its plans and specifications for the Tenant Work (the"Tenant Improvement Plan"). Unless
otherwise agreed to by Landlord, Tenant shall, in preparing the Tenant Improvement Plan, use the Landlord's space planner. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter,
either approve of the Tenant Improvement Plan or submit to Tenant its proposed changes thereto. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the nature and scope of the
Tenant Improvement Plan within ninety (90) days of execution of the Lease, or such longer time as the Landlord and Tenant shall agree to in writing, then the Landlord shall have the right to
terminate this Lease. Upon approving of the Tenant Improvement Plan, Landlord agrees to complete the work depicted therein in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all
laws, using new materials and equipment of good quality, and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant in accordance with the provisions contained herein on or before the
Commencement Date, subject, however, to Paragraph 4 below. If Tenant shall require any subsequent changes to the Space Plan or the Tenant Improvement Plan ("Additional Work"), then, providing
Landlord agrees in writing to such changes, and the cost thereof will cause the total costs to exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) calendar days of the billing therefore, deposit with Landlord, Landlord's projected costs and expenses for the Additional Work
in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, which costs shall include general contractor profit and overhead expected to be incurred by Landlord in connection with
preparation of such additional plans and specifications and/or such Additional Work. Such reimbursements shall be made by Tenant to Landlord 


(C)-1





 




prior to Landlord's undertaking any changes to the Space Plan. If such projected costs for the Additional Work are in excess of Landlord's actual costs then Landlord shall refund any excess to Tenant
and if Landlord's costs for the Additional Work are in excess of the estimated sum paid by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord on demand. 


        3.    Commencement of the Rent. The Commencement Date shall not occur until the date that the Leased Premises are Ready for
Occupancy as that term is defined below; provided, however, that Rent shall nevertheless commence as of the Commencement Date set out in Article 3 of this Lease
notwithstanding date that the Leased Premises would be Ready for Occupancy but for any delay caused by or as a result of one or more of the following: 



        (a)  Tenant's
failure timely to submit the Tenant Improvement Plan to Landlord or to devote the time or furnish the information required in connection with the Tenant Work;
or 


        (b)  Tenant's
failure to timely deposit the estimated costs for the Additional Work if required by the provisions of Section 2 above or
the cost of the work in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance within the time period specified above; or 



        (c)  Tenant's
changes in the Tenant Work, in the Space Plan relating thereto, or in the plans for the Additional Work (notwithstanding Landlord's approval of any such
changes); or 


        (d)  Any
other act or omission by Tenant or its agent. 




        4.    Alternate Commencement Date. If Landlord is unable to cause the Leased Premises to be Ready for Occupancy by the
Commencement Date for reasons other than those set out in subsection (a) through (d) of Paragraph 3 above, or if the Landlord shall have the Leased Premises Ready for Occupancy
prior to the Commencement Date, then in either such event, the Commencement Date of the Lease shall be on the first day that the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy. In the event the Commencement
Date set out in Article 3 of this Lease is extended as provided for in Paragraph 3 above, then the expiration date of the Primary Term shall be extended accordingly.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to have the Leased Premises Ready for Occupancy by October January 31, 2000
November December 1, 2000. 


        "Ready
for Occupancy" as used herein shall mean the date on which Landlord shall have substantially completed all its work outlined in this Work Letter. The issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy (or its equivalent) for the Leased Premises certifying substantial completion of the work shall conclusively control the date the Leased Premises are substantially complete. Landlord agrees
to use its best efforts to provide Tenant with at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior notice of the date the Leased Premises are expected to be Ready for Occupancy. Landlord's undertaking to
provide fifteen (15) calendar days prior notice to Tenant shall not change, alter, or otherwise affect Tenant's obligations under this Lease to take occupancy of the Leased Premises when the
same are Ready for Occupancy. 



        5.    Miscellaneous.


        (a)  Except
to the extent otherwise indicated herein, the initially capitalized terms used in this Tenant Improvement Work Agreement shall have the same meaning assigned to
them in the Lease. 


        (b)  The
terms and provisions of this Tenant Improvement Work Agreement are intended to supplement and are specifically subject to all the terms and provisions of the Lease.
In the event of conflict between the terms of this Tenant Improvement Work Agreement and the Lease, then the provisions of the Lease shall govern. 



        (c)  Prior
to the date the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy, Landlord's contractor and Tenant shall inspect the Leased Premises and jointly complete a "punch list" of
incomplete or 



(C)-2





 





defective work and thereafter Landlord shall exercise due diligence to cause such punch list items to be completed. 


        (d)  This
Tenant Improvement Work Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by supplemental written agreement executed by authorized representatives of the parties
hereto. 


        (e)  Tenant
shall not be entitled to any credits, whether in the form of materials or money, for unused work or materials. 


        (f)    Landlord
shall, if permitted, assign to Tenant all warranties relating to the Tenant Work which would have the effect of
reducing Tenant's maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease and to cooperate with Tenant in connection with enforcing the same, all at no cost to Landlord.

        This First Amendment to Lease (the "Amendment") is made and entered into this 24th day of January, 2001 by and between New Genesee Land Company,
LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Landlord") and HEALTHETECH, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"). 


RECITALS



        WHEREAS,

"Building"); and 


        WHEREAS,
pursuant to Article 3 of the Lease and subject to the provisions of Appendix C thereto, the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Primary Term are
January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2007 respectively; and

        WHEREAS,
Tenant now also desires to lease from Landlord and Landlord is willing to lease to Tenant, subject to the provisions contained herein, an additional approximately 1,000 square
feet in the form of storage space; and

Landlord and Tenant therefore desire to further amend the Lease to, among other things, provide for the terms and conditions, including the payment of rent, under which Landlord
will lease such space to Tenant. 


AGREEMENT  


        NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Lease is amended as follows: 


        1.    Primary Term.    Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease and in Appendix C thereto to the
contrary, Article 3 is hereby amended to provide for a new Commencement Date of May 1, 2001. Accordingly, the Primary Term shall commence at 12:01 a.m. Mountain Standard Time on
April 1, 2001 and shall expire on March 31, 2008. This Amendment shall serve as the Commencement Date Memorandum which the parties are required to execute under Article 3. 



        2.    Monthly Base Rent.    The Monthly Base Rent is as per the schedule shown below:  



	Time Period
 
	 	Monthly Base Rental

        4.    Additional Space.    Effective on February 1, 2001 (the "Commencement Date") and continuing throughout
the entire Term of the Lease, as defined therein, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord for the term and upon the covenants, conditions and terms set forth in the Lease and this
Amendment, the storage space containing approximately 2,793 square feet as identified on the attached Exhibit A (the "Additional Space") which is situated as a part of the Building. In the

        c.    Condition of Additional Space.    Landlord shall not be responsible for providing any services to the Additional
Space except for maintaining normal and customary building heat, water and electrical services. Tenant hereby accepts the Additional Space on an "AS IS" basis. Tenant shall, at its sole expenses, keep
the Additional Space in good repair. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, make any alterations, improvements or additions to the Additional Space. At the expiration of the
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Additional Space in as good a condition as on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for all costs and
expenses of repair and replacement to return the Additional Space to such condition. 


        d.    Assignments.    Tenant shall not assign any interest in the Additional Space or any part thereof, without
Landlord's prior written consent thereto. 


        e.    Tenant's Indemnification.    In addition to the indemnification provided for in the Lease, Tenant will protect,
defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, servants and employees exempt and harmless from and on account of any damage or injury to person, including death, or to the goods, wares and
merchandise of any person, occasioned by Tenant's use or occupancy of or otherwise arising in any manner from, on or out of the Additional Space, other than that caused by or resulting from the gross
negligence of Landlord. All property belonging to Tenant or stored by Tenant in the Additional Space shall be there at the risk of Tenant, and Landlord, or its agents or employees, shall not be liable
for any damage to or theft of or misappropriation of such property. 











        5.    No Rental Abatement.    Tenant shall not receive nor be entitled to claim any free rent or rental abatement.
Monthly installments of Base Rent shall be due and payable as set forth herein and in the Lease, on the first day of each month.

shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord and Tenant hereby ratify and reaffirm such terms, conditions and covenants and shall be bound thereby. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not in
default under the Lease and Tenant has no claims against Landlord for failure to perform any of its obligations thereunder as of the date hereof.
