Option Term Rent: Tenant shall pay the following rent for the Leased Premises:


Landlord and Tenant will attempt to agree upon a Fair Market Rental Value of the
Leased Premises satisfactory to both parties within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s
exercise of its option. If no agreement can be reached by the parties during that
period, then the Base Monthly Rental for the Option Term shall be determined by the
Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Premises as determined by comparison to
premises of similar size located in or near the City of Fort Collins, Colorado,
having comparable development, use and density capability and such other
characteristics as may be deemed relevant by a subject appraiser whose selection is
outlined herein.


Landlord shall select an independent MAI real estate appraiser with at least ten
(10) years experience in appraising commercial real property in the City of Fort
Collins, Colorado (a “Qualified Appraiser”). The Qualified Appraiser selected by
the Landlord shall be referred to as the “Landlord’s Appraiser”. Within thirty (30)
days of being selected by the Landlord, the Landlord’s Appraiser shall determine
the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Premises in accordance with the
appraisal standards set forth above and shall immediately give the Landlord and the
Tenant written notification of his determination.


If the Tenant agrees with the Landlord’s Appraiser’s determination of the Fair
Market Rental Value, the new Base Monthly Rental shall become effective beginning
with the first month of the Option Term. If the Tenant does not agree with the
Landlord’s Appraiser’s determination of Fair Market Rental Value, the Tenant shall
have the right to select its own Qualified Appraiser to determine the Fair Market
Rental Value. If the Tenant does elect to appoint a Qualified Appraiser (the
“Tenant’s Appraiser”), the Tenant shall select the Tenant’s Appraiser within thirty
(30) business days after receiving the Landlord’s Appraiser’s determination of the
Fair Market Rental Value. The Tenant’s Appraiser shall make his own determination of
the Fair Market Rental Value in accordance with the provisions set forth above,
within 30 business days of being selected by the Tenant and shall immediately give
the Landlord and the Tenant written notice of his determination.


 









 








If the Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the Landlord’s Appraiser and
the Tenant’s Appraiser, respectively, differ by an amount which is equal to or less
than 5% of the Fair Market Rental Value determined by the Landlord’s Appraiser,
then the arithmetic mean of the two Fair Market Rental Values shall constitute the
Fair Market Rental Value used to calculate the new Base Monthly Rental which will
in effect for the Option Term. If the Fair Market Rental Value determined by the
Landlord’s Appraiser and the Tenant’s Appraiser, respectively, differ by an amount
which is greater than 5% then, within ten (10) business days after the Landlord’s
Appraiser and the Tenant’s Appraiser’s determination of the Fair Market Rental
Value, the Landlord’s Appraiser and the Tenant’s Appraiser shall agree upon and
select a third Qualified Appraiser who shall be independent of and have no prior or
existing affiliation or relationship with either the Landlord or the Tenant (the
“Independent Appraiser”). Within ten (10) business days of being appointed, the
Independent Appraiser shall, after exercising his best professional judgment,
choose either the Landlord’s Appraiser’s or the Tenant’s Appraiser’s determination
of Fair Market Rental Value which the Independent Appraiser believes, in his best
professional judgment, best represents the Fair Market Rental Value at that point
in time. Upon making such a selection, the Independent Appraiser shall immediately
give the Landlord and the Tenant written notice of this selection of the Fair
Market Rental Value. The Fair Market Rental Value selected by the Independent
Appraiser shall be used to calculate the new Base Monthly Rental which will be in
effect during the Extension Option, and such selection by the Independent Appraiser
shall be binding and conclusive upon the Landlord and the Tenant.


All appraisal fees required hereunder shall be shared equally by the Landlord and
the Tenant.



4. OTHER TERMS & CONDITIONS: All other terms and conditions of that Lease Agreement
between Landlord and Tenant dated March 14, 1994, Amendment of Lease Agreement dated March 20, 1996, and
