PREMISES LEASED; DESCRIPTION.   Landlord hereby leases unto Tenant the Premises which is a part of the Building, a more detailed description of which is described on Exhibit A-1. A floorplan showing the location of the Premises within the Building is attached as Exhibit A-2.  The leasing of the Premises is made according to the terms of this Lease; together with all appurtenances thereto, and all fixtures attached thereto, in present condition, and together with nonexclusive reasonable access across any other land owned by Landlord as may be required for use of the Premises by Tenant, with such access to be on such roadways, sidewalks, and other common areas of which the Premises are a part, or of any such adjacent lands owned by Landlord, as Landlord may from time to time designate.

3.

PRESENT CONDITION OF PROPERTY.  Tenant has examined and accepts the Building, improvements, and any fixtures on the Premises, in present condition, subject to the construction of Tenant Improvements as 

detailed on the plans and specifications attached as Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference.  No representation, statement, or warranty, express or implied, has been made by or on behalf of Landlord as to the condition of the Premises, or as to the use that may be made of same, provided that Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant with the Building operating systems in good working order.  In no event shall Landlord be liable for any defect in the Premises or for any limitation on the use of the Premises.  

4.

TERM.

4.1

Initial Term.  The Initial Term of this Lease commences at 12:01 a.m. on the Commencement Date and terminates at 12:00 midnight on the Expiration Date (the Initial Term, together with any extensions thereof, plus any partial month prior to the Initial Term is herein referred to as the "Term"). The Commencement Date of the Initial Term as set forth in  Section 1 shall be subject to those adjustments of the Commencement Date, if any, set forth in Section 4.2 which relate to the performance of construction on the Premises.

4.2

Tenant Improvement Construction.  The Commencement Date of this Lease shall be delayed until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises (the "Delivery Date") with the "Tenant Improvements," described on Exhibit B, "Substantially Complete" as defined in Exhibit B.  If for any reason Landlord is delayed and does not substantially complete such construction prior to the anticipated Commencement Date, such failure will not affect the validity of this Lease, but in such case the Commencement Date shall be postponed, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent, until the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Complete (unless such delay is due to a delay caused by Tenant, in which case Tenant's Rent obligations and the Commencement Date shall occur on the date the Premises would have been Substantially Complete had there been no Tenant delay). If the Delivery Date is other than the first day of the month, then the Commencement Date will be further delayed to the first day of the month following the Delivery Date but all provisions hereof, including Tenant's obligation to pay Rent (prorated for a partial month), will be in effect as of the Delivery Date.  If the Commencement Date is delayed, the Expiration Date shall be extended so that the Initial Term will continue for its full period and end on the last day of a calendar month.  The postponement of Tenant's obligation to pay Rent is in full settlement of all claims which Tenant may otherwise have by reason of Landlord's delay of delivery of the Premises. Promptly following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute a commencement agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C setting forth the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and such other matters described therein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Tenant Improvements to be Substantially Complete no later than 60 days following commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, provided, however, the 60-day period shall be extended by any Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit B) and by delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, including, without limitation, strikes, shortages in materials, weather or other acts of God. 

4.3

Delivery of Possession. Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant on the Delivery Date is conclusive evidence that the Premises are in the condition agreed between Landlord and Tenant and acknowledgment by Tenant of satisfactory completion of any work which Landlord has agreed to perform, including the Tenant Improvements.  Tenant may, upon written consent by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, have access to the Premises during Tenant Improvement construction for the purpose of moving in Tenant-owned furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory.  This access and the items so moved in shall not in any way impede the construction of the Tenant Improvements, nor shall Landlord, its agent, employees, subcontractors, or any other person on the Premises whether invited or not invited, be liable for the protection, care or security of Tenant-owned items.  This Section shall not be construed so as to permit Tenant to occupy the Premises prior to the satisfaction of all requirements for Tenant's insurance set forth below or to operate its business from the Premises.  If Tenant commences its usual business therein, all terms and provisions of this Lease shall apply as of the date Tenant commences its business, including the obligation for the payment of all Rent and other amounts owing hereunder, however, such early occupancy shall not advance the Expiration Date of this Lease.

5.

RENT.  All amounts, including Base Rent or any additional Rent, to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease as the context requires are sometimes referred to collectively as "Rent."  Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as follows:

5.1

Base Rent.   Subject to the provisions below, commencing on the Delivery Date and on the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay minimum Base Rent in the amount stated in Section 1.4, in advance without notice.  Rent shall be paid without set off, abatement, or diminution, at the address set forth in Section 1.11, or at such other place as Landlord from time to time designates in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may occupy the Premises and shall enjoy an abatement of Base Rent (but not additional Rent) for a 3-month period commencing on the date Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent would otherwise commence in accordance with the Lease and terminating 3 months from such date (the "Abated Rent Period").  Rents payable hereunder are allocable to, and will be accrued by the parties during, their fiscal periods in which the same is actually paid.  No portion of the Base Rent paid by Tenant during periods after the expiration of the Abated Rent Period will be allocated to such Abated Rent Period, nor is such Rent intended to be allocable to the Abated Rent Period.

5.2

Operating Expenses.  In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent during the Term hereof, including during the Abated Rent Period, Tenant's Share, as hereinafter defined, of the Operating 

Expenses, as hereinafter defined, for each year of the Term.  Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses shall be payable in accordance with the following provisions:

5.2.1

"Tenant's Share" is defined, for purposes of this Lease, to be the percentage as set forth in Section 1.6 hereof, which percentage is determined by dividing the approximate square footage of the Premises by the total approximate square footage of the space contained in the entire Building, as such square footages are set forth in Section 1 hereof.   It is understood and agreed that Tenant's Share is subject to revision in the event the actual size of the Building is increased or decreased by Landlord, as provided for herein 

5.2.2

"Operating Expenses" is defined, for purposes of this Lease, to include all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for or in connection with the ownership, management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Building as is necessary to keep the Building in a safe and good order and condition including as is required by all applicable laws and regulations.  Operating Expenses may include but are not limited to, the following:

(1)

The maintenance and repair of common areas, if any; 

(2) 

The maintenance and repair, including striping and sealing where applicable, of parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, stairways, parkways and driveways;

(3)

Snow removal (Landlord is responsible for snow removal of more than 2");

(4)

The preventative maintenance and repair of all heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical systems, life safety equipment (including fire detection and suppression systems), locks and security systems, telecommunication and other equipment used in common by, or for the benefit of Tenant, tenants or occupants of the Building;

(5)

The maintenance, repair and replacement of all landscaped areas, including irrigation systems and fences; 

(6)

Window washing and the maintenance and repair of parking lot lighting;

(7)

The preventative maintenance and repair of Building exteriors (including roofs) and any other publicly mandated services to the Building;

(8)

The cost of all utilities including water, sewer, gas, and electricity, except for those utilities separately metered and paid for by Tenant or tenants;

(9)

All reasonable costs incurred in the maintenance and/or cleaning of the Building or Premises; 

(10)

All real property taxes and assessments levied against the Building or land by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or under any covenants, declarations, easements or restrictions (collectively referred to herein as "Taxes"). Taxes are computed on an accrual basis based on the year in which they are levied;

(11)

Insurance premiums for the Building, including property damage coverage, together with loss of rent endorsement; the part of any claim paid under the deductible portion of any insurance policy carried by Landlord; public liability insurance; and any other insurance carried by Landlord on any component parts of the Building;

(12)

All reasonable labor costs, including wages, costs of worker's compensation insurance, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, including pension, profit-sharing and health, and legal fees and other costs incurred in resolving any labor dispute; 

(13)

Professional building management fees (which fees will not exceed 4% of gross rental due from Tenant hereunder), costs and expenses, including costs of office space and storage space required by management for performance of its services; 

(14)

Reasonable legal, accounting, inspection, and other consulting fees (including fees for consultants for services designed to produce a reduction in Operating Expenses or improve the operation, maintenance or state of repair of the project of which the Premises are a part).

Operating Expenses shall specifically not include: 

(a)

The costs of replacements of equipment or improvements that are considered capital items under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP");

(b)

The costs of alterations of tenant spaces or other capital expenditures except for such costs, as reasonably amortized by Landlord, where one of the purposes of such capital expenditure was to improve Building operating efficiency resulting in cost savings to Tenant;

(c)

Any principal and interest payments on mortgages;

(d)

Leasing commissions or other related leasing expenses;

(e)

Any expenses paid by any tenant directly to third parties, or as to which Landlord is otherwise reimbursed by any third party, other tenant or tenants, or by insurance proceeds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent Landlord determines it is beneficial to share costs or expenses for employees, utilities or other services or costs attributable to the Building and other buildings owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates, Landlord may allocate such expenses as Landlord reasonably determines so long as such allocation accurately reflects the distribution of such costs.  Landlord reserves the right at any time to reasonably change the method of calculation or allocation of such costs and expenses and in making any computations contemplated hereby and Landlord’s accountants may make such other modifications to the computations as are required to achieve the reasonable allocation of the costs and expenses.

The Operating Expenses for the first and last years of the Term shall be prorated according to that portion of such year as to which Tenant is responsible for a share of such expenses.  Certain items of maintenance (such as landscape maintenance and snow removal) are performed by Landlord on numerous areas owned and/or maintained by Landlord, in addition to the Premises, and the cost thereof cannot be precisely ascribed to the Premises.  As to such services which are performed on areas in addition to the Premises, the cost for all areas so serviced shall be allocated to the Premises in proportion to the square feet of building floor space in the Premises compared to the square feet of building floor space in the entire area to which such services are provided.  Landlord shall keep reasonable records of such cost.  

5.2.3

Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Term commenced have been estimated (the "Initial Estimate") and such Initial Estimate is set forth in Section 1.6 of this Lease.  Until notice is given by Landlord of a change in such estimate, Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments in the amount last advised by Landlord; the amount of such estimate that Tenant is obligated to pay as of the commencement of Tenant's obligations under this Lease as Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses is set forth as the Initial Estimated Payment in Section 1.6 of this Lease.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant within 60 days after the expiration of each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing Tenant's Share of the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such year.  If Tenant's payments under this Section during said subsequent year exceed Tenant's Share of actual Operating Expenses as indicated on said statement, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses next falling due.  If Tenant's payments under this Section during the subject calendar year were less than Tenant's Share of actual Operating Expenses as indicated on said statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within 30 days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of said statement. During any periods of adjustments and prior to receipt of Landlord's statement, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the amount of the estimated payment for the prior calendar year and a retroactive adjustment, if applicable, shall be made after Tenant's receipt of the statement which sets forth the new estimated payment. Landlord and Tenant shall forthwith adjust between them any balance determined to exist with respect to that portion of the last year for which Tenant is responsible as to Operating Expenses, notwithstanding that the Term may have terminated before the end of such year and such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  If Tenant disputes an adjustment submitted by Landlord or a proposed increase or decrease in the estimated payment, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such dispute within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of the adjustment.  If Tenant does not give Landlord timely notice, Tenant waives its right to dispute the particular adjustment.  If Tenant timely objects, Tenant may engage its own certified public accountants ("Tenant's Accountants") to verify the accuracy of the statement complained of or the reasonableness of the estimated increase or decrease.  Tenant's Accountants shall enter into a confidentiality agreement satisfactory to Landlord.  If Tenant's Accountants determine that an error has been made, Landlord's accountants and Tenant's Accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which such matter shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord, with Tenant's reasonable approval, for a determination which will be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred by Tenant for Tenant's Accountants, unless Tenant's Accountants disclose an error, acknowledged by Landlord's accountants (or found to have occurred through the above independent determination), of more than 10% in the computation of the total amount of Operating Expenses, in which event Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of Tenant's Accountants incurred by Tenant so long as Tenant's Accountants are engaged on a non-contingency basis to prepare such audit.  Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the amount of the estimated payment or adjustment determined by Landlord's accountants until the adjustment has been determined to be incorrect.  If it is determined that any portion of the Operating Expenses were not properly chargeable to Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly credit or refund the appropriate sum to Tenant.

5.3

Late Charges.  Tenant will pay a late charge equal to 5% of any monthly Base Rent payment or other payment not paid when due, which payment shall be in addition to any interest elsewhere provided for.  As a courtesy, in the first instance of late payment in each 12-month period following the Commencement Date, such late charge will not be assessed until the 5th day after Landlord has given written notice that the payment is late.

5.4

Security Deposit.   Tenant has deposited and will keep on deposit at all times during the Term with Landlord the Deposit as security for the payment and performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including but not limited to payment of all Rent due under the terms hereof.  Landlord shall not owe Tenant any interest on the Deposit.  At Landlord's reasonable election, deductions may be made by Landlord from the amount so retained for the reasonable cost of repairs to the Premises which should have been performed by Tenant, for any Base Rent, additional Rent payment or any other sum delinquent under the terms hereof, and for any sum used by Landlord in any manner to cure any default in the performance of Tenant under the terms of this Lease.  In the event deductions are so made during the Term, upon notice by Landlord, Tenant shall redeposit such amounts so expended so as to maintain the Deposit in the amount as herein provided for, within 10 days after receipt of such written demand from Landlord.  Nothing herein contained shall limit the liability of Tenant as to any repairs or maintenance of the Premises; and nothing herein shall limit the obligation of Tenant promptly to pay all sums otherwise due under this Lease and to comply with all the terms and conditions hereof.  The remaining amount of the Deposit will be refunded to Tenant or to whoever is then the holder of Tenant's interest in this Lease, without interest, within 60 days after full performance of this Lease by Tenant.

5.5

Proration of Rent for Partial Months.  If the Term begins on other than the first day of a month, Base Rent and additional Rent from such date until the first day of the next succeeding calendar month shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such calendar month and shall be payable in advance.  If the Term terminates on other than the last day of the calendar month, Rent from the first day of such calendar month until such termination date shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such month, and shall be payable in advance.

6.

TAXES - REAL PROPERTY - PAID BY TENANT - PROTEST.  Tenant shall pay as Operating Expenses, Tenant's Share of all real estate taxes and assessments, as shall, from and after the date hereof, be assessed upon the Premises and any appurtenances or improvements thereto in accordance with Section 5.  The real estate taxes and assessments for the year in which the Term shall begin, as well as for the year in which this Lease shall end, shall be apportioned so that Tenant shall pay only the portions that correspond with the portions of such years as are within the Term.  In the event that the Premises are assessed for tax purposes as a part of a larger parcel, the tax on the entire parcel shall be prorated in proportion to the number of square feet of Building floor space on each portion of the entire parcel. 

Upon written request from Tenant, Landlord shall protest the tax assessment on the Premises, to the extent that Landlord, in good faith, believes that such protest is justifiable and likely to be successful.  In the event of any such protest Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord the taxes as assessed and Tenant shall be entitled to the appropriate share of any refund.  Tenant shall not protest any real property tax assessment on the Premises.

7.

TAXES - TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY - PAID BY TENANT.  Tenant shall be responsible for and timely pay any and all personal property taxes assessed against any furniture, fixtures, equipment and items of a similar nature installed and/or located in or about the Premises by Tenant. 

8.

UTILITIES AND SECURITY SERVICES 

8.1

Utilities.  Except as set forth herein, Landlord shall not be required to furnish to Tenant any utility services of any kind, such as but not limited to water, sewer, hot water, heat, gas, electricity, light, telephone, cable TV or other utilities used, rendered, or supplied, upon or in connection with the Premises.  Tenant shall obtain and contract directly with the respective utility provider and pay all charges for any utilities separately metered to the Premises. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for directly contracted utility services not being supplied to the Premises. Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact solely for the purpose of terminating Tenant's account with any provider of such utilities, if Tenant abandons the Premises or if this Lease is terminated.

Tenant shall pay as Operating Expenses, Tenant's Share of all utilities servicing the Premises on common meters with other tenants, including but not limited to water, sewer, hot water, heat, gas, electricity, light, telephone, cable TV.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for failure to supply any utility service during any period Landlord is unable to furnish such services and Landlord uses reasonable diligence to supply such services, it being understood that Landlord reserves the right to discontinue temporarily such services, or any of them, at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations or improvements, or whenever by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God or any other happening beyond control of Landlord.  Landlord's obligations to furnish services shall be conditioned upon the availability of adequate sources.  Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times in order to make such repairs, alterations and adjustments as shall be necessary in order to comply with the provisions of any mandatory or voluntary fuel or energy saving or similar statute, regulation or program. 

8.2

Private Security Service.  Landlord may, in its sole discretion, engage a private security service, as an independent contractor, to patrol an area which includes the Premises.  If Landlord does so employ a 

private security service, the cost thereof shall be considered an Operating Expense as defined in Section 5.2.2 herein.

Landlord shall have absolutely no obligation to engage a private security service.

9.

HOLDING OVER.  If, after expiration of the Term, Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises and continue to pay Rent without a written agreement as to such possession, then Tenant shall be deemed a month-to-month Tenant and the Base Rent rate during such holdover tenancy shall be equivalent to one and one-half times the monthly Base Rent paid for the last month of tenancy under this Lease, plus payment of all additional Rent under this Lease.  Such month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord at midnight on any day which is more than 29 days after date of delivery of Landlord's written notice of termination to Tenant. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to renew or extend this Lease without the written consent of Landlord.

10.

ALTERATION - CHANGES AND ADDITIONS - RESPONSIBILITY - NO HOLES IN ROOF - NO NEW EQUIPMENT ON ROOF.  Subject to Landlord's consent that any alterations requested by Tenant do not negatively affect the integrity of the Premises, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, Tenant may, during the Term, at Tenant's expense, erect inside partitions, add to existing electric power service, add telephone outlets or other communication services, add light fixtures, install additional heating and/or air conditioning or make such other changes or alterations as Tenant may desire, provided that prior to commencement of any such work, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a set of fully detailed working drawings and specifications for the proposed alteration, prepared by a licensed architect or engineer.  If Tenant so requests, Landlord will have the drawings and specifications prepared for Tenant, at Tenant's expense, utilizing Landlord's in-house staff.  Tenant will pay Landlord's customary hourly charges for such services, as additional Rent, to be paid within 10 days after delivery of invoice.  In particular, but not as a limitation, the working drawings must fully detail changes to mechanical, wiring and electrical, lighting, plumbing and HVAC systems to Landlord's satisfaction.  Landlord may refuse to consent to the alterations because of the inadequacy of the drawings and specifications.  Tenant may not commence the alterations until Landlord's written consent has been given.  Any additions or alterations requested by Tenant of the telecommunication or data transmission equipment, facilities, lines or outlets on the Premises shall be performed only with Landlord's consent, and only by Landlord's approved contractor. 

If the drawings and specifications are adequate, to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, then Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the alterations, except that Landlord may withhold its consent to new or altered openings (holes) in the roof, or placement of additional equipment on the roof, as follows.

Landlord may or may not exercise the remedies provided in this Section 22.2.1, in its sole discretion.  The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section 22.2.1 shall not be required prior to the exercise of any other available remedy.

22.2.2

Without obligation to seek a new tenant, to institute suit against Tenant to collect each installment of Rent or other sum as it becomes due or to enforce any other obligation under this Lease even though the Premises be left vacant.

22.2.3

As a matter of right, to procure the appointment of a receiver for the Premises by any court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application and without notice, notice being hereby expressly waived.  All rents, issues and profits, income and revenue from the Premises shall be applied by such receiver to the payment of the rent, together with any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

22.2.4

To re-enter and take possession of the Premises and all personal property therein and to remove Tenant and Tenant's agents and employees therefrom, and either:

a)  terminate this Lease and sue Tenant for damages for breach of the obligations of Tenant to Landlord under this Lease; or

b)  without terminating this Lease, relet, assign or sublet the Premises and personal property, as the agent and for the account of Tenant in the name of Landlord or otherwise, upon the terms and conditions Landlord deems fit with the new Tenant for such period (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) as Landlord may deem best, and collect any Rent due upon any such reletting.  In this event, the rents received on any such reletting shall be applied first to the expenses of reletting and collecting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and real estate brokers' commissions, alteration costs and expenses of preparing said Premises for reletting, and thereafter toward payment of the Base Rent and of any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord.  If the sum realized shall not be sufficient to pay the Rent and other charges due from Tenant, then within five days after demand, Tenant will pay to Landlord any deficiency as it accrues.  Landlord may sue therefor as each deficiency shall arise if Tenant shall fail to pay such deficiency within the time limit.

22.3

Tenant to Surrender Peaceably.  In the event Landlord elects to re-enter or take possession of the Premises, Tenant shall quit and peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may enter upon and re-enter the Premises and possess and repossess itself thereof, by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may dispossess and remove Tenant and may have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the right to receive all rental income of and from the same.

22.4

No Termination by Re-Entry.  No re-entry or taking of possession by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate or accept surrender of this Lease unless Landlord's written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant.

22.5

Injunction.  In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, terms, conditions or covenants contained in this Lease, Landlord, in addition to any and all other rights, shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise for such breach as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

22.6

Remedies Listed are Cumulative and Non-Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing remedies does not exclude any other remedy, but all remedies are cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy now 

or hereafter existing at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the remedies provided in Section 23 concerning Landlord's security interest in Tenant's personalty and Landlord's right to remove same.

22.7

Interest on Sums Past Due.  In addition to the late charge which is elsewhere established, all Rent and all other amounts due from Tenant hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of 12% percent per annum compounded annually from their respective due dates until paid, provided that this shall in no way limit, lessen or affect any claim for damages by Landlord for any breach or default by Tenant.

22.8

Attorneys' Fees.  Reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, consulting fees and other expenses incurred by either party by reason of the breach by either party in complying with any of the agreements, terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease shall constitute additional sums to be paid  to the prevailing party on demand.

22.9

Time to Cure Certain Non-Monetary Defaults.  In the event of any default other than failure to pay a sum of money, for which notice has been given as provided herein, which because of its nature can be cured but not within the period of grace heretofore allowed, then such default shall be deemed remedied, if the correction thereof shall have been commenced within said grace period or periods and shall, when commenced, be diligently prosecuted to completion.

22.10

Landlord Default.  If Landlord is in default under any of its obligations and the default continues for 30 days after written notice from Tenant (subject to extension pursuant to Section 22.9), Tenant may pursue all remedies at law or in equity.

Tenant may not offset any sum due or assertedly due from Landlord to Tenant against any sum due from Tenant to Landlord.

Tenant agrees that if Tenant obtains a judgment against Landlord arising out of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, such judgment may be satisfied only by execution and sale of Landlord's interest in the Premises leased hereby.  Tenant may not seek execution against other property of Landlord, nor pursue any judgment, execution or other remedy against the partners or other owners of Landlord or any of their property.  Immediately upon receipt of Landlord's written request, Tenant will release any property (other than the Premises leased hereby) from  the lien of any judgment obtained by Tenant against Landlord arising out of Landlord's obligations under this Lease.

23.

LANDLORD'S SECURITY INTEREST IN TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY: LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO REMOVE SAME.  Intentionally Omitted.

24.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TENANT BY THIRD PARTIES; TENANT TO PAY LANDLORD'S FEES.  In the event of any proceeding at law or in equity wherein Landlord, without being in default as to its covenants under the terms hereof or otherwise liable in tort, shall be made a party to any litigation by reason of Tenant's interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be allowed and Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and consultant's fees.

25.

INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT AND BY LANDLORD.  Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord of and from liability for damages or claims against Landlord, including costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of Landlord in defending against the same, on account of injuries to (or death of) any person or property, if the injuries (or death)  are caused by Tenant, its agents, subcontractors, servants or employees, or of any other person entering upon the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant, or if such injuries (or death) are the result of the violation by Tenant, its agents, subcontractors, servants, or employees, of laws, ordinances, other governmental regulations, or of the terms of this Lease.

Landlord shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant of and from liability for damages or claims against Tenant, including costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of Tenant in defending against the same, on account of injuries to (or death of) any person or property, if the injuries (or death) are caused by Landlord, its agents, or employees, or where such injuries (or death) are the result of the violation by Landlord, its agents, or employees, of laws, ordinances, other governmental regulations, or of the terms of this Lease.

Landlord provides recreation facilities for the use of employees of Tenant and other occupants within the property developed by Landlord, which property presently includes LONG'S PEAK INDUSTRIAL PARK, FIRST, SECOND and THIRD FILINGS, and portions of ST. VRAIN CENTRE, both in the City of Longmont and County of Boulder, Colorado, and will include such additional property in the immediate vicinity thereof as may be developed by Landlord.  The term "recreation facilities" includes, at present, a fitness trail with 34 exercise stations, volleyball courts, basketball courts, and a park, and will include such additional facilities as Landlord may provide.

Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord of and from liability for damages or claims against Landlord, including costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of Landlord in defending against the same, on account of any injury to (or death of) an employee of Tenant arising out of use of the recreation facilities.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may cease to operate the recreation facility at any time for any reason without cause.

26.

ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.  

26.1

Tenant shall not sublet any part of the Premises nor assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein (sometimes referred to as "Transfer," and the subtenant or assignee may be referred to as "Transferee") without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance first being obtained, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that:  (1) Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 26.3; (2) Landlord declines to exercise its rights under Section 26.3; (3) the Transferee is engaged in a business and the portion of the Premises will be used for the Permitted Use in a manner which is in keeping with the then standards of the Building and does not conflict with any exclusive use rights granted to any other tenant of the Building; (4) the Transferee has reasonable financial worth in light of the responsibilities involved; (5) Tenant is not in default at the time it makes its request; (6) the Transferee is not a governmental or quasi-governmental agency; and (7) the Transferee is not a tenant or currently negotiating a lease with Landlord in any building owned by Landlord in the metropolitan area of the Building.  

26.2

Transfer includes a sale by Tenant of substantially all of its assets or stock if Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, a merger of Tenant with another corporation, the transfer of 49% or more of the stock in a corporate tenant whose stock is not publicly traded, or transfer of 49% or more of the beneficial ownership interests in a partnership or limited liability company tenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 26, Tenant may, without obtaining Landlord's consent, complete a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee subject to the following conditions: (i) the proposed use of the Premises shall be the same as Tenant's use and Landlord shall not be required, as a result of applicable laws, to make any renovations to the Building or common areas or provide special services as a result of such Transfer; and (ii) not less than 30 days following the effective date of the Transfer, Tenant provides Landlord with documentation evidencing such transaction and such other evidence as Landlord may reasonably require to establish that such transaction complies with the provisions of this Section.  "Permitted Transferee" means: (i) any subsidiary or affiliate in which Tenant owns a substantial interest; (ii) any parent of Tenant; (iii) any subsidiary or affiliate in which Tenant's parent owns a substantial interest; or (iv) any corporation into which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant provided that the resulting corporation has a net worth at least equal to Tenant's net worth as of the date hereof.

26.3

Except for a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant must notify Landlord at least 60 days prior to the desired date of a proposed Transfer ("Transfer Request").  The Transfer Request shall describe the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.  Within 30 days following receipt of a Transfer Request, Landlord shall notify Tenant ("Landlord's Notice") of its election of the following as applicable: 

(1)

Landlord shall have the right to identify a proposed Transferee ("Landlord's Transferee") to accept the Transfer Request and Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a Transfer to the Landlord's Transferee, in which event the rent and other sums due from the Landlord's Transferee will be paid to Landlord directly.  Landlord has no responsibility for such Landlord's Transferee's performance of its obligations to Tenant. If Landlord identifies a proposed Landlord's Transferee and consents to an assignment to Landlord's Transferee, Tenant shall be released from and after the effective date of such assignment as respects performance of any obligations of Tenant thereafter to be performed; or

(2)

If a Transfer Request involves 25% or more of the Premises, Landlord may recapture such space by terminating Tenant's Lease obligations as to the applicable portion of the Premises; provided, however, if Landlord makes such election, Tenant may, within 15 days after Landlord's Notice, withdraw a Transfer Request.  If such termination occurs, it shall be effective on the date designated in Landlord's Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days following such notice; or 

(3)

Landlord may waive Landlord's rights under (1) and (2) above, as applicable, in which case Tenant shall be free to make a Transfer substantially identical to that described in the Transfer Request to any third party, subject to Landlord's consent as provided in Section 26.1.  If Tenant does not complete the Transfer within 60 days following Landlord's Notice or materially modifies terms from those in the Transfer Request, then, prior to a Transfer to a third party, Tenant must resubmit a modified Transfer Request to Landlord and repeat the process in accordance with the provisions hereof.

26.4

All documents utilized by Tenant to evidence a Transfer are subject to approval by Landlord.  Tenant shall pay Landlord's expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of determining whether to consent and in reviewing and approving the documents.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with such information as Landlord reasonably requests regarding a proposed Transferee, including financial information.

26.5

Following any Transfer in accordance with this Section 26, Landlord may, after any default by Tenant, collect rent from the Transferee or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent, but no such collection will be deemed an acceptance of the Transferee or occupant as Tenant or release Tenant from its obligations.   Consent to a Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord's consent to any other Transfer.  Notwithstanding a Transfer, even if consented to by Landlord, Tenant will not be released and continues to be primarily liable for its obligations.  If Tenant collects any rent or other amounts from a Transferee in excess of the Rent for any monthly period, Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of such monthly excess, as and when received, after deduction of Tenant's reasonable transaction costs incurred for such Transfer amortized monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of such Transfer.

26.6

If a trustee or debtor in possession in bankruptcy is entitled to assume control over Tenant's rights under this Lease and assigns such rights to any third party notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the rent to be paid by such party shall be increased to the current Base Rent (if greater than that being paid for the Premises) which Landlord charges for comparable space in the Building as of the date of such third party's occupancy.  If Landlord is entitled under the Bankruptcy Code to "Adequate Assurance" of future performance of this Lease, the parties agree that such term includes the following:

(1)

Any assignee must demonstrate to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction a net worth (as defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) at least as large as the net worth of Tenant on the Commencement Date.  Tenant's financial condition was a material inducement to Landlord in executing this Lease. 

(2)

The assignee must assume and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Lease.

27.

LANDLORD'S WARRANTY OF TITLE; QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Subject to Tenant not being in default under this Lease, Landlord covenants it has good right to lease the Premises in the manner described herein and that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, and enjoy the Premises during the Term, except as provided in Section 30 concerning subordination to mortgage lenders.

28.

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY - RIGHTS OF LANDLORD.  Landlord does reserve, during the Term, the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to go upon and deal with the Premises or part thereof for the purpose of implementing a common development plan for the project of which the Premises are a part, and to install non-exclusive sidewalks, paths, roadways and other street improvements for use by vehicles, pedestrians, and for parking; to undertake such drainage programs to handle underground and surface drainage water and to make any other changes and/or improvements as Landlord shall deem advisable in the exercise of its sole discretion; provided, however, any such action by Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the rights of Tenant hereunder.

29.

GOVERNMENTAL ACQUISITION OF THE PREMISES.  The parties agree that Landlord shall have sole and exclusive authority to negotiate and settle all matters pertaining to the acquisition of all or part of the Premises by a governmental agency by eminent domain or threat thereof (condemnation), and to convey all or any part of the Premises under threat of condemnation, and this Lease shall terminate as to any area so conveyed.  It is agreed that any compensation for land and/or buildings to be taken whether resulting from negotiation and agreement or condemnation proceedings, shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and that there shall be no sharing whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant of any such sum.  Such taking of property shall not be considered as a breach of this Lease by Landlord, nor give rise to any claims in Tenant for damages or compensation from Landlord.  Tenant may separately claim and recover from the condemning authority the value of any personal property owned by Tenant which is taken, and any relocation expenses owed to Tenant by the condemning authority, provided that any such recovery shall not reduce Landlord's recovery.  If any portion of the Premises is so taken, then Landlord, at its election, may replace the square footage taken with space in the Building, or may provide building area essentially the same as the Premises in a reasonably adjacent location, within 10 days after the conveyance or taking, under the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease, and this Lease shall be in full force and effect as to the new Premises.  If Landlord does not so provide reasonable space, then Tenant shall have two options.  First, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice delivered to Landlord within 60 days after the conveyance or taking.  Second, Tenant may retain the remaining portion of the Premises, under all the terms and conditions hereof, but the  Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the number of square feet of building floor space taken compared to the number of square feet of building floor space in the Premises prior to the taking.

30.

SUBORDINATION OF THE LEASEHOLD TO MORTGAGES.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate in priority at all times to the lien of any existing and/or hereafter executed mortgages and trust deeds encumbering the Premises.  Although no instrument or act on the part of Tenant shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, Tenant will execute and deliver such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages or trust deeds as may be reasonably desired by the mortgagee or holder of such trust deeds.  Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as his attorney in fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such instrument for Tenant. Tenant further agrees that promptly following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant will execute an estoppel certificate in the form attached as Exhibit D setting forth the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and such other matters described therein, and thereafter, at any time and from time to time upon not less than 10 days prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an estoppel affidavit in form acceptable to Landlord and the holder of any existing or contemplated mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises.  Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (1) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance; and (3) that not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.  Further, upon request, Tenant shall supply to Landlord a corporate resolution certifying that the party signing this statement on behalf of Tenant is properly authorized to do so, if Tenant is a corporation.  Tenant agrees to provide Landlord within ten business days of Landlord's request, Tenant's most recently completed financial statements and such other financial information as reasonably requested by Landlord in order to verify Tenant's financial condition to satisfy requirements of Landlord's existing or contemplated lender or mortgagee.

Tenant agrees with lender and Landlord that if there is a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust and pursuant to such foreclosure, the Public Trustee or other appropriate officer executes and delivers a deed conveying the Premises to the lender or its designee, or in the event Landlord conveys the Premises to the lender or its designee in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant will attorn to such grantee of the Premises, rather than to Landlord, to perform all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease by reason of the foreclosure or deed given in lieu thereof.

Following the full execution and delivery of this Lease by each of Tenant and Landlord, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from Landlord's mortgagee on such mortgagee's standard form for such purposes, however, such efforts shall not require Landlord to expend any costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in doing so, unless such costs and expenses are paid by Tenant.

31.

RECORDING - CONFIDENTIALITY.  This Lease shall not be recorded. All communications and information obtained by either party during the negotiations of this Lease, the actual terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation all information obtained by Landlord while in the Premises (but specifically excluding information relating to the physical premises owned by Landlord which relates to the operation of the Building and the normal performance of Landlord and Landlord's agents of the management, maintenance, repair and renovation duties with respect to the Building) shall be deemed confidential and proprietary (collectively the "Protected Information").  Without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of either party, Landlord and Tenant or its agents, shall not divulge to any third party any Protected Information, except as required by law or valid order of a court or tribunal.  Prior to disclosure of any Protected Information, whether as required by law or court order or other wise, either party shall inform the other party, in writing, the nature and reasons for such disclosure. 

32.

NO WAIVER OF BREACH; ACCEPTANCE OF PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF RENT.  No assent, or waiver expressed or implied, or failure to enforce, as to any breach of any one or more of the covenants or agreements herein shall be deemed or taken to be a waiver of any succeeding or additional breach.

Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the Rent or other payment provided for herein shall not be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest Rent then due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or other payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of all Rent then due, and/or to pursue any or all other remedies provided for in this Lease, in law, and/or in equity including, but not limited to, eviction of Tenant.  Specifically, but not as a limitation, acceptance of a partial payment of Rent shall not be a wavier of any default by Tenant.

33.

CONTROLLING LAW; AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY; MODIFICATIONS OR EXTENSIONS.  No modification of this Lease shall be binding unless endorsed hereon or otherwise written and signed by the respective parties.  The Lease, and all terms hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, exclusive of its conflicts of laws rules.  Should any term or provision of this Lease be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall be not be affected thereby each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. No modification of this Lease shall be binding unless endorsed hereon or otherwise written and signed by the respective parties.

34.

INUREMENTS.  The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors.  This Lease shall be signed by the parties in duplicate, each of which shall be a complete and effective original lease.

35.

TIME.  Time is of the essence in this Lease in each and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor.

36.

ADDRESSES; EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS; METHOD OF GIVING NOTICE.  All Rent and other monetary obligations due under this Lease shall be mailed to the Rent Payment Address set forth in Section 1.11 of this Lease. All notices or other communications required or desired to be given to Landlord must be in writing and shall be deemed received when delivered personally to any officer, partner, or member of Landlord (depending upon the nature of Landlord), or when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, addressed to Landlord's Notice Address set forth in Section 1.10 of this Lease, or when deposited with a nationally-recognized overnight courier service with verification of delivery, addressed to Landlord's Notice Address set forth in Section 1 of this Lease.  All notices or communications required or desired to be given to Tenant shall be in writing and deemed duly served when delivered personally to any officer, employee, partner, or member of Tenant (depending upon the nature of Tenant), individually if a sole proprietorship, or manager of Tenant whose office is in the Building, or when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, addressed to Tenant's Notice Address set forth in Section 1.13, or when deposited with a nationally-recognized overnight courier service with verification of delivery, addressed to Tenant's Notice Address set forth in Section 1.13.

Facsimile signatures shall be binding as original signatures so long as the originally signed signature page is received by a nationally-recognized overnight courier service the next day.  The foregoing does not prohibit notice from being given as provided in the rules of civil procedure, as amended from time to time, for the state in which the Building is located.

Either party may change its notice address, street or mailing address, or fax number, for purposes hereof, by written notice delivered to the other.  

37.

DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS. Tenant, by execution of this Lease and occupancy of the Premises, agrees to comply with the Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions applicable to the Premises (the "Declarations"). 

38.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

38. 1

Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord each represent that they have not employed any broker with respect to this Lease and have no knowledge of any broker's involvement in this transaction except those listed in Sections 1.15 and 1.16 (collectively, the "Brokers").  Each of Tenant and Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party of and from any and all loss, costs, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker or person claiming through Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, and arising out of or in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Lease, other than to the Brokers.  Additionally, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that the other party shall have no obligation for payment of any brokerage fee or similar compensation to any person with whom Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, has dealt or may in the future deal with respect to leasing of any additional or expansion space in the Building or renewals or extensions of this Lease, other than to the Brokers.  In the event any claim shall be made against Landlord or Tenant by any broker, other than the Brokers, who shall claim to have negotiated this Lease on behalf of Tenant or Landlord or to have introduced Tenant to the Building or to Landlord, Landlord or Tenant shall be liable for payment of all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred by the other party in defending against the same, and in the event such broker shall be successful in any such action, Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, shall, in addition, make payment to such broker.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not liable for any representations by the Brokers regarding the Premises, Building, or this Lease.

38.2

Parking.  Landlord will make available the number of parking spaces for Tenant's use as set forth in Section 1.17.  All parking spaces shall be in and out, non-assigned parking spaces in the surface parking area designated by Landlord for use by tenants of the Building. Notwithstanding the above, the right granted to Tenant to use such spaces is non-exclusive and a license only and Landlord's inability to make such spaces available at any time for reasons beyond Landlord's reasonable control is not a material breach by Landlord of its obligations hereunder, provided that Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with comparable replacement parking on such occasions.  Tenant has no rights to use any parking areas except as designated by Landlord for the Building.  Tenant's failure to timely pay a parking bill, if any, shall constitute an event of default hereunder.  All vehicles parked in the parking area and the personal property therein shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, Tenant's agents and the users of such spaces and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage thereto for whatever cause.

38.3.

Substitute Premises.  Intentionally Omitted.

Any funds in Landlord's possession at the time of transfer in which Tenant has an interest will be turned over to the grantee and any amount then due Tenant under this Lease will be paid to Tenant. 

38.5

No Merger.  The termination or mutual cancellation of this Lease will not work a merger, and such termination or cancellation will at the option of Landlord either terminate all subleases or operate as an automatic assignment to Landlord of such subleases. 

38.6

Common Area Use.  Landlord may use any of the common areas for the purposes of completing or making repairs or alterations to any portion of the Building or land.

38.7

Construction.  The parties waive any rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party.  Any words following the words "include," "including," "such as," "for example," or similar words or phrases shall be illustrative only and are not intended to be exclusive, whether or not language of non-limitation is used.

38.8

Section And Paragraph Headings; Grammar.  All section or paragraph headings are made for the purposes of ease of location of terms and shall not affect or vary the terms hereof.  Throughout this Lease, wherever the words, "Landlord" and "Tenant" are used they shall include and imply to the singular, plural, persons both male and female, and all sorts of entities and in reading said Lease, the necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof mean and apply as aforesaid shall be made in the same manner as though originally included in said Lease. 

38.9

Severability.  If there is more than one party which is Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant are joint and several. 

38.10

Acceptance of Keys, Rent or Surrender.  No act of Landlord or its representatives during the Term, including any agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises or amend this Lease, is binding on Landlord unless such act is by a partner, member or officer of Landlord, as the case may be, or other party designated in writing by Landlord as authorized to act.  The delivery of keys to Landlord or its representatives will not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. 

38.11

Name and Size.  Landlord may, as it relates to the Building and the surrounding project of which the Building is a part, change the name, increase the size by adding additional real property, construct other buildings or improvements, change the location and/or character, or make alterations or additions. If the size of the Building is increased, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment which incorporates any necessary modifications to Tenant's Share.  Tenant may not use the name of the Building or the project of which the Building is a part for any purpose other than as part of its business address.

38.12

Diminution of View.  Tenant agrees that no diminution of light, air, or view from the Building entitles Tenant to any reduction of Rent under this Lease, results in any liability of Landlord, or in any way affects Tenant's obligations. 

38.13

Lender's Requirements.  Tenant will make such modifications to this Lease as may hereafter be required to conform to any lender's reasonable requirements, so long as such modifications do not increase Tenant's obligations or materially alter its rights. 

38.14

Effectiveness.  Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option to lease and it is not effective unless and until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. 

38.15

Survival.  This Lease, notwithstanding expiration or termination, continues in effect as to any provisions requiring observance or performance subsequent to termination or expiration.

38.16

Authority for Action. Unless otherwise provided, Landlord may act through Landlord's Building manager and/or property manager or other designated representatives from time to time. 

38.17.

Counterparts.  This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any one or more counterpart signature pages may be removed from one counterpart of this Lease and annexed to another counterpart of this Lease to form a completely executed original instrument without impairing the legal effect of the signature thereon.

38.18

Patriot Act Compliance.  Tenant represents and warrants that: 

38.18.1

no action, proceeding, investigation, charge, claim, report or notice (collectively, "Action") has been commenced, threatened or to its knowledge filed against Tenant (which, for purposes of this Section, includes its affiliates) alleging any violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing (effective September 24, 2001) (the "Executive Order") and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) (the "Patriot Act").

38.18.2

to Tenant's knowledge, Tenant has not taken or omitted to take any action which could reasonably be expected to result in any Action against Tenant alleging any violation of the Executive Order or the Patriot Act.

ADDENDUM

THIS ADDENDUM is to that certain lease (the "Lease") by and between LONGMONT DIAGONAL INVESTMENTS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Landlord"), and LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Tenant"), with respect to approximately 4,720 rentable square feet of space (the "Premises") in the Building.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of the Lease and the terms and provisions of this Addendum, the terms and provisions of this Addendum shall control. 

1.

Option to Extend.  Landlord grants Tenant an option (the "Option") to extend the term of the Lease for one additional term of 5 years (the "Option Term").  The Option applies only to the Premises and is on the following conditions: 

A.

Notice of Tenant's interest in exercising the Option must be given to Landlord no earlier than 12 months and no later than 9 months prior to the Expiration Date ("Tenant's Notice").  Not later than thirty (30) days after receiving Tenant's Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant of the Base Rent applicable during the Option Term in accordance with subparagraph E below ("Landlord's Notice").

B.

Tenant has 15 days after receipt of Landlord's Notice to exercise the Option or dispute the rental rate quoted by Landlord by delivering notice of exercise or dispute to Landlord.  If Tenant timely exercises the Option, the Term will be deemed extended on the terms of this Section and the parties will execute an amendment evidencing the extension.  If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of the rental rate, Tenant shall give notice of such dispute (“Dispute Notice”) within the 15-day period and the Base Rent rate shall be determined in accordance with Paragraph F below.

C.

Unless Landlord is timely notified by Tenant in accordance with subparagraphs A and B above, it will be conclusively deemed that Tenant has not exercised the Option and the Lease will expire in accordance with its terms on the Expiration Date. 

D.

Tenant's rights under the Option are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned except to a Permitted Transferee.  Tenant's right to exercise the Option is conditioned on: (i) no Event of Default existing at the time of exercise or at the time of commencement of the respective Option Term; (ii) Tenant not having subleased or vacated more than 25% of the Premises or assigned its interest under the Lease, except to Permitted Transferee, as of the commencement of the Option Term; and (iii) Tenant having the financial ability to perform its obligations under Option Term.  Upon an assignment of the Lease except to a Permitted Transferee, the Option is null and void.

E.

The Option granted hereunder will be upon the terms of the Lease, including payment of all Rent, except that the Base Rent during the Option Term will be the rate at which Landlord would lease space in the Building comparable to the Premises to third parties if such space were available for leasing for a lease term paralleling the Option Term.

F.

Following delivery of Tenant’s Dispute Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly negotiate to determine a mutually acceptable Base Rent rate.  If the parties mutually agree upon a new Base Rent rate, such agreed rate shall be the Base Rent rate applicable during the Option Term.   If the parties have not agreed within 20 days after delivery of Tenant’s Dispute Notice, then within such 20-day period Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon a qualified commercial real estate broker of good reputation, having at least five (5) years’ experience in the real estate market in which the Building is located, to act as arbitrator (“Arbitrator”); otherwise, they shall each select, within the foregoing 20-day period, a real estate broker who meets the above qualifications and together such brokers will then select a real estate broker who meets the above qualifications and who shall be deemed the Arbitrator. Within 10 days after designation of the Arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant each shall give notice of its determination of the Prevailing Market Rental Rate (defined below) supported by the reasons therefor by delivering copies to each other and the Arbitrator, under an arrangement for simultaneous exchange of such determinations. The Arbitrator will review each party’s determination and select the one which most accurately reflects such Arbitrator’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rental Rate. The Arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modifications of either party’s determination. The Arbitrator’s selection shall be final and binding on both parties and the Base Rent rate to be paid during the Option Term shall be the greater of 95% of such determination or the per rentable square foot rate in effect for the last month of the Term of the Lease. The Arbitrator’s costs incurred in this procedure shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant and shall be fixed when the Arbitrator is selected.  For purposes of this paragraph, “Prevailing Market Rental Rate” means the annual amount per square foot that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept for Base Rent following arms-length negotiations with respect to an Assumed Lease (defined below) under the circumstances then pertaining.  Assumed Lease means (i) a lease or renewal having a commencement date within 6 months of Tenant’s Notice for space of approximately the same size as the Premises, located in a portion of the Building or a Comparable Building (defined below), for a term equal in length to the Option Term; (ii) a real estate commission is payable with respect to such renewal or extension of the term to the extent a third-party commission with respect to such extension or renewal is agreed or obligated to be paid by Landlord; and (iii) taking into consideration and making adjustments to reflect that additional Rent is paid and allowances, if any, as provided in Landlord’s Notice.  "Comparable Building" means any then-existing building in a 5-mile radius of the Building that is of a size, location, quality and prestige comparable to, and with a size and efficiency of floor plate, and amenities reasonably comparable with the Building, provided that appropriate adjustments shall be made to adjust for 

differences in the size, location, age, efficiency of floorplate, factoring out any specialized improvements to the Premises installed and paid for by Tenant, and quality of any Comparable Building and the Building.

G.

After exercise, or failure to exercise the Option, Tenant shall have no further rights to extend the Term.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto execute this Addendum.

[TURNKEY]

LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC.

RE:

Lease by and between LONGMONT DIAGONAL INVESTMENTS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, hereinafter referred to as "Landlord," and LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC., a Nevada corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Tenant," pertaining to approximately 4,720 rentable square feet of space in Suite C-D (the "Premises") of the Building (the "Lease")

Gentlemen:

Concurrently herewith, you as Tenant, and the undersigned, as Landlord, have executed the referenced Lease, which provisions of said Lease are herein incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. (Initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Lease.) In consideration of the execution of the Lease, Landlord has agreed to complete certain improvements in the Premises and Tenant and Landlord agree as follows: 

1.

Landlord and Tenant have mutually approved a space plan dated October 31, 2013 ("Approved Plan"), prepared by Don Hostetter ("Landlord's Architect"), which sets out the scope of work (the "Tenant Improvements") that Landlord has agreed to Substantially Complete in the Premises prior to delivering the Premises to Tenant. The scope of the Approved Plan shall include: repainting of the walls of the Premises, replacement of any damaged ceiling or floor tiles throughout, shampoo carpet, installation of new dishwasher in break room, demolition of one wall between offices and wall-off of door as depicted, build optical lab to include separate light switch, two entrances and new VCT floor, move wall for expansion of clean room, installation of window in clean room, and installation of roof penetration vent (non-powered) above clean room. 

2.

Landlord's Architect and engineers selected by Landlord will prepare draft architectural, mechanical and electrical construction drawings for the Premises to the extent necessary that are consistent with the Approved Plan.  Landlord's Architect and the engineers shall use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such draft construction drawings to Landlord and Tenant not later than 3 weeks following the approval of the Approved Plans.  Not later than 5:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the 3rd business day following Tenant's receipt of the draft drawings, Tenant shall either (i) give notice that Tenant approves such drawings, or (ii) notify Landlord and Landlord's Architect of changes requested by Tenant.  If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of requested changes by such deadline, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the drawings.  Tenant shall have the right to request changes in the drawings based on either (a) inconsistency between the Approved Plan, or (b) changes requested by Tenant, in Tenant's discretion, subject to Landlord's approval.  If changes are requested by Tenant in accordance with the foregoing or by Landlord, Landlord's Architect shall revise the draft drawings and deliver such revised drawings again for approval, under the foregoing provisions; delay caused by changes shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8 below. Upon approval or deemed approval, the drawings shall be deemed the "Construction Drawings."

3.

Changes to the Approved Plan or Construction Drawings may be made only by written direction to Landlord by Tenant.  All increased costs incurred by such changes that are not otherwise the result of Landlord errors or inconsistencies with the Approved Plans caused by Landlord, including costs of the revisions in Construction Drawings, costs of construction and materials, and reimbursables necessitated by such changes, are deemed to be the result of Tenant Delay and will be paid by Tenant in full upon demand prior to Landlord completing the Tenant Improvements (on an estimated basis with an adjustment following completion).  Any delay in Landlord's completion of the Tenant Improvements due to Tenant's delay in paying for the costs of such changes shall be a Tenant Delay.

4.

Neither Landlord's use or approval of any plans (including any preliminary plans) submitted by Tenant for completion of the Tenant Improvements nor the fact that the Approved Plans and the Construction Drawings have been prepared by Landlord's Architect and engineers creates a responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with any laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises now  or hereafter in effect.

5.

Landlord's contractor shall diligently complete the Tenant Improvements in the Premises substantially in accordance with the Construction Drawings.  The Commencement Date will be the date that Landlord delivers the Premises to 

Tenant with the Tenant Improvements Substantially Complete.  "Substantially Complete" means that the Tenant Improvements have been completed to the extent that Tenant may occupy the Premises and operate the Permitted Use, subject only to punchlist items as referred to below, as determined by Landlord's Architect.  If the delivery of the Premises is delayed beyond the scheduled date in Section 1 of the Lease, the Commencement Date will be further delayed in accordance with Section 5 of the Lease. 

6.

When Landlord's Architect determines that the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Complete, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant and following receipt of such notice, the representatives of Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the Premises with Landlord's Architect and develop a punchlist of items of the Tenant Improvements not yet complete that do not interfere with Tenant's operation of its Permitted Use.  Taking possession of the Premises for operation of the Permitted Use shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Premises were in the condition agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant and acknowledgment of satisfactory completion of the Tenant Improvements except for the punchlist items and except for latent defects of which Tenant gives notice to Landlord within 11 months following the date the Tenant Improvements were deemed Substantially Complete.  Landlord shall complete the punchlist items with reasonable diligence following the Commencement Date and shall remedy latent defects of which Tenant gives notice to Landlord in accordance with the foregoing provision.

7.

Landlord shall pay the cost of all Tenant Improvements completed in accordance with the Construction Drawings, including a 5% construction management fee to Flatiron Property Management for overseeing the Tenant Improvement work, except Tenant is responsible for all costs arising from Tenant Delay.  

8.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Lease, the Commencement Date and Tenant's Rent obligations will not be delayed or extended by Tenant Delay and the Term and Tenant's payment of Rent will commence on the date it would have commenced had there been no Tenant Delay.  "Tenant Delay" means delay (i) in the preparation, finalization or approval of Construction Drawings caused by Tenant or Tenant's Agents; (ii) caused by Tenant's changes to the Approved Plan or Construction Drawings, other than changes caused by errors of Landlord's Architect or inconsistencies with the Approved Plan; (iii) in the delivery or installation of any special or non-standard building items specified by Tenant that would cause delay in completion beyond the date the Tenant Improvements would have been completed had it not been for such delay by Tenant; or (iv) of any kind or nature in the completion of the Tenant Improvements caused by Tenant, Tenant's Agents, or Tenant's representative.

5.10        Survival.  All provisions  of  this  Agreement  that  would  reasonably  be  expected  to survive the  termination  of  the  Agreement  will  do  so.

5.16        Entire Agreement.   This Agreement  contains  the  entire  understanding  of  the  Parties regarding the  subject  matter  of  the Agreement and  supersedes  all  prior  and contemporaneous negotiations  and  agreements,  whether  written  or  oral,  between  the Parties with  respect  to  the  subject  matter  of  the  Agreement.
