space leased on a full-floor basis in the Building shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) and for
any space leased on a multi-tenant floor of the Building shall not exceed nineteen and one-half
percent (19.5%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Common Area factor used to calculate
the rentable square footage for the entirety of the Premises as of the date of execution of this
Lease shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) during the Term of this Lease.

1.18 Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs:

a. Base Costs: Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and
Utilities Costs, respectively, incurred and paid by Landlord during calendar year 2011 (the “Base
Year”).

b. Definition of Operating Expenses. As used in this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses”
shall consist of all costs and expenses of operation, maintenance and repair of the Building and
Building Common Areas as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
consistently applied and calculated and, for all expenses which are variable upon the percentage of
occupancy in the Building, assuming the Building is at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied,
together with the Building Percentage of all variable costs and expenses of operation and
maintenance of the Property Common Areas and the Site as determined by GAAP consistently applied
and calculated and, for all expenses which are variable upon the percentage of occupancy in the
Building, assuming the Property is at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. Operating Expenses
include the following costs by way of illustration but not limitation: (i) any and all assessments
imposed with respect to the Building, Common Areas, and/or Site (excluding any charges or
assessments chargeable to other tenants in the Building) pursuant to any covenants, conditions and
restrictions affecting the Property; (ii) costs, levies or assessments resulting from statutes or
regulations promulgated by any government authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the
Site, Building or the Premises or the parking facilities serving the Site, Building or the
Premises; (iii) waste disposal and janitorial services; (iv) security; (v) costs incurred in the
management of the Site, Building and Common Areas, including, without limitation: (1) supplies,

employees used in the operation and maintenance of the Site, Building and Common Areas (to the
level of property and/or regional operations manager and for employees directly associated with the
operation of the Building) (3) the rental of personal property used by Landlord’s personnel in the
maintenance, repair and operation of the Property, (4) management office expenses including rent
and operating costs (prorated to include only the building employees to the level of property
and/or regional operations manager and for employees directly associated with the operation of the
Building), (5) accounting fees and legal fees, and (6) a reasonable and customary
management/administrative fee as stated by BOMA not to exceed three percent (3%) of the gross
rental for Property; (vi) repair and maintenance of the elevators, if any, and the structural
portions of the Building, including the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and
electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord; (vii) maintenance, costs and upkeep of all
parking and Common Areas; (ix) amortization on a straight-line basis over the useful life of all
costs of a capital nature (including, without limitation, capital improvements, capital
replacements, capital repairs, capital equipment and capital tools) provided that the amortized
amount of any Cost Savings Improvements or Required Capital Improvements (as hereinafter defined)
in any year may be as much as but will not exceed the reduction in Operating Expenses as a result
thereof: (1) designed primarily to a reduce operating charges or energy consumption (“Cost Savings
Improvements”); or (2) required after the date of this Lease under any Law that was not applicable
to the Building at the time it was originally constructed (“Required Capital Improvements”); (x)
costs and expenses of gardening and landscaping; (xi) maintenance of signs (other than signs of

owned by Landlord used in connection with the Building, the Common Areas and/or the Site; and
(xiii) costs and expenses of repairs, resurfacing, repairing, maintenance, painting, lighting,
cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items.

Operating Expenses shall not include Taxes, Insurance Costs or Utilities Costs which shall be
separately accounted for under the terms of this Lease.

c. Taxes. Taxes are defined in Section 7.3 of the Standard Lease Provisions. All Taxes shall
be adjusted to reflect an assumption that the Building is fully assessed for real property tax
purposes as a completed building(s) ready for occupancy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary the Base Costs of Taxes shall be the greater of the Taxes for calendar year 2010 or
calendar year 2011. When calculating Taxes for purposes of establishing the Taxes for the Base
Year, Taxes shall not include Taxes attributable to one-time special assessments, charges, costs,
or fees arising from modifications or changes in Laws, including, but not limited to, the
institution of a split tax roll during the Base Year.

d. Definition of Insurance Costs. Insurance Costs are defined in Section 7.4 of the Standard
Lease Provisions.

 

-4-

 

e. Definition of Utilities Costs. As used in this Lease, “Utilities Costs” shall mean all
actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Building Percentage of the same for the
Property Common Areas calculated assuming the Property and Building are at least ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied, including but not limited to water, sewer and electricity, and the costs of
heating, ventilating and air conditioning and other utilities (but excluding those charges for
which tenants are individually responsible) as well as related fees, assessments and surcharges.

f. Excess Operating Expenses. In addition to the Monthly Base Rent required to be paid by
Tenant pursuant to Section 1.8 above, during each month during the Term (after the Base Year),
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent (as defined below), the amount by which Tenant’s
Percentage of Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs for such calendar year
exceeds the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs (such
amounts shall be referred to in this Section 1.18 as the “Excess Expenses,” “Excess Taxes,” “Excess
Insurance Costs,” and “Excess Utilities Costs,” respectively), in the manner and at the times set
forth in the following provisions of this Section 1.18. No reduction in Operating Expenses, Taxes,
Insurance Costs, or Utilities Costs after the Base Year will reduce the Monthly Base Rent payable
by Tenant hereunder or entitle Tenant to receive a credit against future installments of Operating
Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs, or other Additional Rent due hereunder. If
Landlord does not furnish a particular service or work (the cost of which, if furnished by Landlord
would be included in Operating Expenses, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs or Taxes) to a tenant
(other than Tenant) that has undertaken to perform such service or work in lieu of receiving it
from Landlord, then Operating Expenses, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs and/or Taxes, as
applicable, shall be considered to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating
Expenses, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs and/or Taxes that Landlord would reasonably have
incurred had Landlord furnished such service or work to that tenant. If Landlord adds an expense
category at any time after the Base Year, Landlord agrees to adjust the Base Costs to include the
actual amount charged to Landlord for a consecutive twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses (excluding
Operating Expenses beyond the reasonable control of Landlord which are Insurance Costs, Taxes,
Utilities Costs and snow removal) for each subsequent year of the Term shall not exceed Tenant’s
Percentage of the Operating Expenses for the prior year(s) by more than four percent (4%) per annum
compounded during any subsequent year of the Term.

g. Estimate Statement. By the first day of April of each calendar year during the Term after
the Base Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Estimate Statement”) estimating
the Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs, and Utilities Costs (the “Estimated Expenses”) for
the current calendar year and the estimated amount of Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess
Insurance Costs, and Excess Utilities Costs (the “Estimated Excess Expenses”) payable by Tenant.
If at any time during the Term, but not more often than quarterly, Landlord reasonably determines
that the estimated amount of Estimated Excess Expenses payable by Tenant for the current calendar
year will be greater or less than the amount set forth in the then current Estimate Statement,
Landlord may issue a revised Estimate Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within thirty
(30) days of receipt of the revised Estimate Statement, the difference between the amount owed by
Tenant under such revised Estimate Statement and the amount owed by Tenant under the original
Estimate Statement for the portion of the then current calendar year which has expired. Thereafter
Tenant agrees to pay Estimated Excess Expenses based on such revised Estimate Statement until
Tenant receives the next calendar year’s Estimate Statement or a new revised Estimate Statement for
the current calendar year. The Estimated Excess Expenses shown on the Estimate Statement (or
revised Estimate Statement, as applicable) shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly
installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly payment of
Rent next due following the receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as
applicable), an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of such Estimated Excess Expenses
multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which such statement is
submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive (less any amounts previously paid by
Tenant with respect to any previously delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement
for such calendar year). Subsequent installments shall be paid concurrently with the regular
monthly payments of Rent for the balance of the calendar year and shall continue until the next
calendar year’s Estimate Statement (or current calendar year’s revised Estimate Statement) is
received.

 

-5-

 

h. Actual Statement. By the first day of July of each subsequent calendar year during the
Term after the Base Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) which
states the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs, and Utilities
Costs (the “Actual Expenses”) and Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs, and Excess
Utilities Costs (the “Actual Excess Expenses”) payable by Tenant for the immediately preceding
calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that the Actual Excess Expenses were understated in
any Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement) previously delivered by Landlord pursuant to
Section 1.18 g. above, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Actual
Statement to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such under-payment. Such
obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease or the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. If the Actual
Statement reveals that the Actual Excess Expenses were over-stated in any Estimate Statement (or
revised Estimate Statement), Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly
installment(s) of Rent due from Tenant, or if the Term has expired, within thirty (30) days remit
to Tenant the overpayment. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Term and
Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to
provide Tenant with an Estimate Statement for the Estimated Expenses for the then current Lease
Year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Tenant’s Percentage of
any Actual Excess Expenses over the Estimated Expenses paid by Tenant in such Lease Year.

i. No Release. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate or Actual
Statement pursuant to this Section 1.18 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to receive
Tenant’s payment of Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess Insurance Costs, and Excess Utilities
Costs, nor shall it relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Excess Expenses, Excess Taxes, Excess
Insurance Costs, and Excess Utilities Costs pursuant to this Section 1.18, except that Tenant shall
not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate or Actual Statement until thirty (30)
days after receipt of such statement.

j. Tenant’s Right to Audit. Each calendar year that Excess Expenses are payable by Tenant,
Tenant may audit Landlord’s calculation of Excess Expenses on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Procedure for Review.

(a) To exercise this right to audit Excess Expenses for a calendar year, Tenant must notify
Landlord in writing (“Audit Notice”) of Tenant’s election to audit within sixty (60) days after
Landlord gives Tenant the statement of Actual Excess Expenses included for that calendar year.

(b) The audit will be of those accounting records Tenant determines are reasonably required to
determine the Excess Expenses and Taxes for the calendar year that is the subject of the applicable
Excess Expenses only.

(c) The audit will take place at the Building at a time mutually convenient to Landlord and
Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord the Audit Notice. The audit will be
completed within ten (10) business days. Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant, or its authorized
representative, may copy and remove such copies of any of Landlord’s book or records, provided that
Tenant returns such copies at the completion of the audit.

(d) Tenant may perform the audit with Tenant’s own employees, or may engage a company with
experience in such audits, to perform the audit (“Tenant’s Auditor”), provided that Landlord shall
not be required to accept any Tenant’s Auditor that does not meet all of the following
qualifications:

	 	(1)	 	Tenant’s Auditor must agree that the results of the audit shall remain
confidential.

	 	(2)	 	Tenant’s Auditor may not be a tenant of Landlord in the Building.

(ii) Before commencing any review of Landlord’s books and records, Tenant and Tenant’s Auditor
must each agree in writing to keep confidential and not to disclose to any other person Landlord’s books and records that are the subject of review and any negotiation and
settlement of any dispute that may arise from the audit. But, Tenant may disclose the information
Tenant is required to keep confidential hereunder to the extent reasonably required (A) by law, (B)
in a court proceeding or arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of the audit, or (C) to
Tenant’s attorneys, accountants and other professionals related to the performance of the audit or
resolution of any dispute arising out of the audit, and that agree in writing to be bound by
Tenant’s confidentiality agreement.

(iii) To make a claim for refund of any overpayment of Additional Rent disclosed by the audit,
Tenant must notify Landlord in writing of the claim (“Audit Claim”) within thirty (30) days after
completion of Tenant’s Auditor’s review. The Audit Claim must state in reasonable detail the basis
for, and calculation of the claim, and further include a copy of any written audit or report
furnished to the Tenant.

(iv) No Subtenant May Conduct an Audit. No assignee (except a Permitted Transferee) may
conduct an audit of Excess Expenses for any part of the Term prior to the effective date of the
assignment.

(v) No Default. Tenant’s rights under this section are at all times conditioned and
contingent upon Tenant not being in Default of this Lease. No Audit Notice or Audit Claim will be
effective if, when given, Tenant is in Default of this Lease.

(vi) Resolution of Claim. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any Audit Claim
for a period of not less than ninety (90) days after Tenant gives Landlord the Audit Claim. If the
parties cannot reach a resolution within such period, such matter shall be resolved by a single
Arbitrator chosen by and in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
pursuant to “Baseball Style” Arbitration. The losing party shall pay all fees of the Arbitrator.

(vii) Costs. Landlord will reimburse Tenant’s reasonable costs incurred to perform an audit
if:

(a) The audit is not performed by Tenant’s own employees;

(b) If Tenant’s Auditor is compensated on a contingency fee basis, Landlord shall only be
required to pay a reasonable hourly fee for such auditor’s time and shall not be required to pay
any contingency fees; and

(c) The total Expenses and Taxes used by Landlord to compute Additional Rent for the calendar
year audited were overstated by more than five percent (5%).

(viii) Ongoing Overcharges. Notwithstanding what is set forth herein, should the audit
discover either an overcharge or an undercharge that is in excess of ten percent (10%) of
Landlord’s calculation of such charge for the applicable calendar year and such overcharge or
undercharge was also made in the previous two (2) calendar years during the Term, then Tenant shall
be entitled to a credit or refund, as applicable, of said overcharge, or, if applicable, Tenant
shall remit such undercharge, from such two (2) previous calendar years. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection, the credit to, or refund by, Tenant of any overcharges shall only be
applicable during the time the then-current Landlord is the owner of the Building. No credit or
refund shall be due for any time prior to the then-current Landlord’s ownership of the Building.

k. Exclusions from Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
1.18 to the contrary, the following items shall be excluded from Operating Expenses, Taxes,
Insurance Costs, and Utilities Costs, as applicable: (i) costs of decorating, redecorating, or
special cleaning or other services provided to certain tenants and not provided on a regular basis
to all tenants of the Building; (ii) any charge for depreciation of the Building or equipment and
any interest or other financing charge; (iii) all costs relating to activities for the marketing,
solicitation, negotiation, enforcement and execution of leases of space in the Building, including
without limitation, costs of tenant improvements; (iv) any costs of any services sold or provided
to tenants or other occupants for which Landlord or managing agent is entitled to be reimbursed by
such tenants or other occupants as an additional charge or rental over and above the basic rent
(and escalations thereof); (v) the cost of correcting defects in the design or construction of the
Building or in the building equipment, except that conditions (not occasioned by

 

-7-

 

construction defects) resulting from ordinary wear and tear will not be deemed
defects for the purpose of this category; (vi) to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by third
parties, the cost of repair made by Landlord because of the total or partial destruction of the
Building or the condemnation of a portion of the Building; (vii) the cost of any items for which
Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or otherwise compensated by parties other than tenants of the
Building pursuant to clauses similar to this paragraph; (viii) costs incurred in connection with
the original design and construction of the Building or Project or any major changes to same,
including but not limited to, additions or deletions of floors and the repair of damage to the
Building or Project in connection with any type of casualty, event of damage or destruction or
condemnation; (ix) overhead or profits paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord, or to any
party as a result of a non-competitive selection process, for management or other services to the
Building and/or Project, or for supplies or other materials, to the extent that the costs of such
services, supplies, or materials exceed the costs that would have been paid had the services,
supplies or materials been provided by parties unaffiliated with the Landlord on a competitive
basis and are consistent with those incurred by similar buildings in the same metropolitan area in
which the Building is located; (x) the cost of any work or service performed for or facilities
furnished to any tenant of the Building to a greater extent or in a manner more favorable to such
tenant than that performed for or furnished to Tenant; (x) the cost of alterations of space in the
Building leased to other tenants; (xi) ground rent or similar payments to a ground lessor; (xii)
legal fees and related expenses and any fines, costs, penalties or interest incurred by Landlord

typically incurred in other similar office buildings in the area in which the Building is located;
(xv) salaries and compensation of ownership and management personnel to the extent that such
persons provide services to properties other than the Building; (xvi) costs of selling or financing
the Building; (xvii) any expenses which under generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and sound management practices would not be considered a normal maintenance
or operating expense; (xviii) all costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity
which constitutes “Landlord” (as distinguished from the costs of Building or Project operations)
including, but not limited to, Landlord’s or Landlord’s managing agent’s general corporate overhead
and general corporate administrative expenses or such costs that would be normally included in a
management fee (e.g., placement/recruiting fees for employees, corporate accounting, health/sports
club dues, employee parking and transportation charges, tickets to special events and bank
charges); (xix) costs incurred by Landlord for improvements which are considered capital
improvements as reasonably determined by Landlord’s accountants, except for Cost Savings
Improvements or Required Capital Improvements as provided in Article 1.18(b) above; (xx)
advertising and promotional costs; (xxi) any rental payments and related costs pursuant to any
ground lease of land underlying all or any portion of the Building, Project and Common Areas or any
costs related to any reciprocal agreement; (xxii) charitable, lobbying, special interest or
political contributions; and (xxiii) acquisition costs for sculptures, paintings, or other objects
of art or the display of such items which exceed those typically incurred in other similar office
buildings located in the Denver Central Business District, to exclude plants from the lobby.
Building Operating Expenses that cover a period of time not entirely within the Term of the Lease
shall be prorated. In the event Tenant ceases to occupy (but still leases) either an entire floor
or the entirety of Premises, Tenant shall receive credit against Building Operating Expenses equal
to the cost of electricity and janitorial services and any other expense not incurred as a result
of such vacancy. It is agreed that Landlord shall not profit from the collection of Operating
Expenses.

1.19 Utilities and Services.

a. Standard Utilities and Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
Landlord shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the following utilities and
services (collectively, the “Building Services”):

(i) Landlord shall make the elevator of the Building available for Tenant’s non-exclusive use,
twenty-four (24) hours per day, 365 days per year.

 

-8-

 

(ii) Landlord shall furnish during the Business Hours for the Building specified in
Section 1.21, HVAC for the Premises as required for the comfortable and normal office occupancy of
the Premises and in accord with the most recent ASHRAE standards. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the HVAC system shall be charged
to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s adjustment of room
thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.19. Such work
shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman’s wages for HVAC mechanics. If
Tenant desires HVAC at any time other than during the Business Hours for the Building, Landlord
shall provide such “after-hours” usage after advance reasonable request by Tenant, and Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent (and not as part of the Operating Expenses) the actual
additional costs of electricity and actual additional and incremental wages paid to personnel
directly required for the operation of the after-hour ventilating and/or air-conditioning system.
The current after hours cost for HVAC is One Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars ($135.00) per hour.

(iii) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, 365 days per
year, electric current in the amount of five (5) watts per rentable square foot of the Premises for
office equipment loads and general power but excluding overall lighting and Building mechanical
equipment. In no event shall Tenant’s use of electric current ever exceed the capacity of the
feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation of the Building. In addition to the
foregoing, Landlord shall make available to Tenant for its sole and exclusive use during the Term,
without any representations or warranties, the existing 500 KVA emergency generator (“Generator”)
and associated diesel belly-tank (“Diesel Tank”) located on the top of the Building podium to
operate its office equipment in the event of a power failure in the Building. Tenant shall be
responsible for any maintenance required for the Generator or the Diesel Tank. Landlord shall also
furnish hot and cold water to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, 365 days per year, for
drinking and lavatory purposes, in such quantities as required for the comfortable and normal use
of the Premises. If Tenant requires or consumes water or electrical power in excess of what is
considered reasonable or normal by Landlord (in the case of electrical consumption, more than 5
watts per rentable square foot), Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as Additional
Rent, the cost as fairly determined by Landlord incurred for such excess usage.

(iv) Landlord shall furnish janitorial services to the Premises five (5) days per week
pursuant to janitorial and cleaning specifications as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time.
No person(s) other than those persons reasonably approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter
the Premises for such purposes. Janitor service shall include ordinary dusting, cleaning and
emptying and removal of trash from trash receptacles by the janitor assigned to do such work and
shall not include cleaning of carpets or rugs (except normal vacuuming), or moving of furniture,
coffee or eating area cleaning (other than the floors and surfaces) and other special services.
Such additional services may be rendered by Landlord pursuant to written agreement with Tenant as
to the extent of such services and the payment of the cost thereof. Janitor service will not be
furnished in rooms when rooms are occupied after 8:00 p.m. or to rooms which are locked unless a
key is furnished to the Landlord for use by the janitorial contractor. Window cleaning of the
inside and outside of all exterior windows shall be done only by Landlord, at such time and
frequency as determined by Landlord within reason and not less than four (4) times per year for the
outside of the exterior windows in the South Terrace and North Terrace and not less than two (2)
times per year for the outside of the exterior windows in the South Tower and the North Tower and
not less than one (1) time per year for the interior of the exterior windows in the Premises.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish to the
extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises
as offices. All janitors and the janitorial service hired by Landlord shall be bonded in amounts
consistent with buildings in the downtown Denver metropolitan area. The current janitorial
specifications for the Building are attached hereto as Exhibit G. Landlord reserves the right to
modify the current janitorial specifications at any time during the Term provided, however, such
modified janitorial specifications shall at all times be consistent with the then standards for
office buildings in the central business district for Denver, Colorado.

(v) Landlord shall provide security service or protection in the Building, in any manner
deemed reasonable by Landlord that is comparable to similar class buildings in the central business
district of Denver, Colorado, from the Commencement Date throughout the Term. Landlord shall not
be liable for losses due to theft, vandalism or similar causes when Landlord has complied with the
requirements set forth herein.

 

-9-

 

(vi) At Landlord’s option using commercially reasonable standards, Landlord may install water,
electricity and/or HVAC meters in the Premises to measure Tenant’s consumption of such utilities,
including any after-hours and extraordinary usage described above or for a separate cooling unit
for the computer room(s) within the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days
after demand, the cost of the installation, maintenance and repair of such meter(s).

The costs of Building Services shall be included in Operating Expenses. Landlord reserves the
right to adopt non-discriminatory modifications and additions to the Building Services from time to
time. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, provide additional services hereunder; provided,
however, that if Landlord does provide such extra services at the request of Tenant, Tenant agrees
to pay a four percent (4%) administration fee in connection with such services.

Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time-to-time during the Term to contract
for service from any company or companies providing electricity service (“Service Provider”).
Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably
necessary, shall allow Landlord and Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric
lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises so long as such access
does not materially interfere with Tenant’s occupancy or day to day business operation in the
Premises. Subject to the provisions of Article 7.5 below, Landlord shall in no way be liable or
responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any
change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric
energy furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied
by the Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, no such
change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or
constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of
Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

b. Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements
which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Building’s services
and systems. Tenant shall not use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which may
in any way increase the amount of services or utilities above what Landlord is required to furnish
or supply to the Premises or other premises in the Building. In addition, without Landlord’s
consent, Tenant shall not connect any conduit, pipe, apparatus or other device to the Building’s
water, waste or other supply lines or systems for any purpose. Neither Tenant nor its employees,
agents, contractors, licensees or invitees shall at any time enter, adjust, tamper with, touch or
otherwise in any manner affect the mechanical installations or facilities of the Building. Tenant
shall not place weight upon any portion of the Premises exceeding the structural floor load (50
pounds per rentable square feet of live load capacity and 15 pounds per rentable square feet of
partition load capacity) which such area was designated (and is permitted by Law) to carry or
otherwise use any Building system in excess of its capacity or in any other manner which may damage
such system or the Building. Any upgrades to the floor load required by Tenant’s permitted use of
the Premises shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant or deducted from the Tenant
Improvement Allowance.

1.20 Additional Repairs.

a. Landlord’s Additional Repair Obligations. In addition to Landlord’s repair obligations in
Section 8.1 of the Standard Lease Provisions, and subject to Sections 17.1 and 17.2 of the Standard
Lease Provisions, Landlord shall, as part of the Operating Expenses, repair, maintain and replace,
as necessary (a) the basic heating, ventilating, air conditioning (“HVAC”), sprinkler and
electrical systems within the Building core and standard conduits, connections and distribution
systems thereof within the Premises, all connections and distribution of plumbing to internal
appliances (but not any above-standard improvements installed in the Premises such as, for example,
but not by way of limitation, custom lighting, special or supplementary HVAC or plumbing systems or
distribution extensions, special or supplemental electrical panels or distribution systems, or
kitchen or executive restroom and/or shower facilities and appliances to the extent such facilities
and appliances are intended for the exclusive use of Tenant), and (b) the Common Areas, if any;
provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs or replacements are required as a result
of any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and replacements. Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for failure to perform any such maintenance, repairs or replacements, unless Landlord shall fail to make such
maintenance, repairs or replacements and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days following
written notice from Tenant to Landlord of the need therefor, provided, however, if the nature of
Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance,
then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion not to
exceed sixty (60) days. Without limiting the foregoing or any other rights of Tenant contained
herein, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any applicable Laws now
or hereafter in effect.

b. Reserved.

1.21 Business Hours for the Building: 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays (except
Building Holidays, as defined below) and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Saturdays (except
Building Holidays). Building Holidays mean New Year’s Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day and Christmas Day and such other national holidays as are adopted by Landlord
as holidays for the Building. Tenant shall have access to the Building and the Premises seven (7)
days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day and, subject to events of Force Majeure (as defined
below), with electricity and elevator service provided at all times.

1.22 Additional Parking Provisions. Each of Tenant’s parking privileges set forth in Section
1.11 hereof shall be subject to a monthly parking fee as may be established and adjusted by
Landlord pursuant to Section 1.11. In addition to such parking privileges for use by Tenant’s
employees, Landlord shall permit access to the parking areas for Tenant’s visitors, subject to
availability of spaces and payment (by validation charges or otherwise) of daily visitor parking
charges therefor as may be established and adjusted by Landlord from time to time. Subject at all
times to the provisions of Section 1.11 to the contrary, if, at any time during the Term hereof,
Tenant fails or elects not to pay any parking fee so established by Landlord for the parking
privileges Tenant is then using pursuant to Section 1.11, Landlord may, at any time thereafter,
upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant, terminate Tenant’s right to use any or all such
privileges for which Tenant has failed or chosen not to pay until such time as Tenant advises
Landlord in writing of the desire to again utilize additional spaces up to the maximum as set forth
in Section 1.11.

Each party covenants and agrees, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep
and perform their respective obligations under this Lease.

3.2 Landlord’s Reserved Rights. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to do any of
the following: (a) expand the Building and construct or alter other buildings or improvements on
the Property as long as Tenant’s occupancy or parking ratio is not adversely impacted and Tenant’s
quiet enjoyment of the Premises is not affected and Tenant’s Percentage of any Operating Expenses,
Taxes or Insurance Costs is not increased; (b) make any changes, additions, improvements,
maintenance, repairs or replacements in or to the Property, Common Areas and/or the Building
(including the Premises if required to do so by any applicable Laws or to the extent necessary in
conjunction with any improvements to the Property, Common Areas and/or the Building so long as the
load factor does not increase or Tenant’s rentable square footage does not increase and provided
that Tenant’s use of the Premises is not materially and adversely affected), and the fixtures and

pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and meters and equipment above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor
surfaces and within the walls of the Building and the Premises; and (ii) changes in the location,

Property provided that Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises; and (d) perform such

reconfigure the Premises as a result of any changes to the Property, Common Areas and/or the
Building as a result of Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Section 3.2, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice of the construction
schedule to the extent that Tenant’s permitted use of, or the ingress or egress to, the Premises
are affected, and Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, as reasonably practicable, any interference
with Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises as a result of any such construction, including,
having the work performed after normal business hours. All measurements of rentable area in this
Lease shall be deemed to be correct.

ARTICLE 4 — TERM AND POSSESSION

4.1 Term; Notice of Lease Dates. The Term shall be for the period designated in the Summary
commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, unless the Term is sooner
terminated or extended as provided in this Lease. Assuming this Lease is mutually executed by
Landlord and Tenant on or before June 17, 2010, if a Landlord Delay occurs (as further defined in
Exhibit C), Tenant shall be entitled to two (2) days of Rent abatement for each one (1) day of
delay. If the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then
the Term will be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Within ten (10) business days
after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute a written confirmation of the Commencement
Date and Expiration Date of the Term in the form of the Notice of Lease Term Dates. The Notice of
Lease Term Dates shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant reasonably objects thereto in writing
within such ten (10) business day period.

 

-12-

 

4.2 Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant as provided in
the Work Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not be obligated to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following:
(i) a copy of this Lease fully executed by Tenant; (ii) any Security Deposit, Guaranty and/or
Letter of Credit required hereunder and the first installment of paid Monthly Base Rent due under
this Lease; and (iii) copies of Tenant’s insurance certificates as required hereunder.

4.3 Condition of Premises. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in broom-clean
condition and free of debris, with (i) the existing Building-standard plumbing, lighting, and HVAC
systems in good operating condition and in compliance with all applicable codes (collectively, the
“Operating Systems”); (ii) the window blinds in the Premises in a clean and operable condition;
(iii) the base board heating units in the Premises in good working condition; (iv) the door strikes
in the interior stairwells in compliance with all applicable governmental and building codes; and
(v) secured card key access to the freight elevators in the North Tower and the South Tower, the
cost of installation which shall be passed through as an Operating Expense. All connections and
distribution of plumbing to internal appliances and HVAC distribution shall be part of the Tenant
Improvements. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists during the warranty period (as defined
below), or if one of such Operating Systems or elements should malfunction or fail within the
warranty period, as Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s breach of this warranty, Landlord shall, as
Landlord’s sole obligation, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with
specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, repair same at
Landlord’s expense; provided, however, Landlord shall have no liability hereunder for repairs or
replacements necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any of Tenant’s Parties. The
warranty period shall be 120 days after delivery of the Premises to Tenant, except for latent
defects in the Premises which are identified in writing to Landlord by Tenant within one (1) year
of the Commencement Date. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within said
warranty period, correction of any such non-compliance, malfunction or failure shall be the
obligation of Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant acknowledges that, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter, (i) neither Landlord nor any agent
of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building or
the Property or their condition, or with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of
Tenant’s business, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then as-is condition on delivery by
Landlord, and (ii) the acceptance of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall establish that the
Premises, the Building and the Property were at such time complete and in good, sanitary and
satisfactory condition and repair with all work required to be performed by Landlord, if any,
pursuant to the Work Letter completed and without any obligation on Landlord’s part to make any
further alterations, upgrades or improvements thereto, subject only to completion of minor
punch-list items identified by the parties to be corrected by Landlord, if any, as provided in the
Work Letter.

ARTICLE 5 — RENT

5.1 Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, the Monthly Base Rent as designated in
the Summary. Monthly Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent (defined below)
shall be paid by Tenant in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month
(“Due Date”) during the Term, except that the first full month’s Monthly Base Rent and Additional
Rent, if any, shall be paid upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord.
Monthly Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days
this Lease is in effect during such month bears to the actual number of days in such month.

5.2 Additional Rent. All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition
to Monthly Base Rent, if any, including, without limitation, payments for Operating Expenses,
Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs to the extent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall
be considered “Additional Rent”, and the word “Rent” in this Lease shall include all such
Additional Rent unless the context specifically states or clearly implies that only Monthly Base
Rent is referenced. Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without any prior notice or demand therefor
and without any notice, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

-13-

 

5.3 Late Charges and Interest Rate. If Landlord does not receive Rent or any other payment
due from Tenant within five (5) business days of the Due Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late
charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such past due Rent or other payment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, Landlord will not assess a late fee for the first two (2) installments of Rent
in any one (1) calendar year not received within five (5) business days of the Due Date, provided
such Rent payments are received within ten (10) business days of the Due Date. Tenant agrees that
this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by
reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by
Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. If any installment of Monthly Base
Rent or Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by
Landlord within five (5) business days of the Due Date, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate
set forth in the Summary from the Due Date until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed
pursuant to this Section 5.3, shall be considered Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord under
the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6 — SECURITY DEPOSIT

Within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord
a clean, unconditional irrevocable letter of credit for the benefit of Landlord (“Letter of
Credit”) in the sum of One Million Nine Hundred Ten Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Eight Dollars
($1,910,568.00) issued by a bank and in a form both reasonably acceptable to Landlord, payable in
Denver, Colorado, to be delivered upon execution of this Lease and to be held by Landlord which as
renewed or replaced as set forth herein shall remain in effect, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, for the first eighteen (18) months of the Term (the “Security Deposit”) as
security for the Rent payable hereunder, to the extent the Letter of Credit is still held by
Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, the return of the Premises in good order and
condition as required in this Lease, and the performance of the terms, covenants, conditions and
agreements of Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Letter of Credit. Landlord hereby
approves Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall not assign or
encumber the Security Deposit. If the Letter of Credit is for a time period which is less than the
entire Lease Term, then said Letter of Credit shall contain an “evergreen” clause which shall
automatically renew the Letter of Credit for the entire Lease Term or Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a renewal or replacement Letter of Credit which conforms to the requirements of this
Article 6 at least thirty (30) days prior to the date each Letter of Credit is to expire, and if
either: (a) Tenant fails so to deliver the renewal or replacement Letter of Credit; or (b) if the
bank which issued the Letter of Credit or Tenant notifies Landlord prior to the expiration date of
any such Letter of Credit (and each Letter of Credit other than the first Letter of Credit shall
require the bank to do so or if the bank will not agree to do so, then Tenant shall so notify
Landlord) that it does not intend to renew or replace the Letter of Credit, or (c) the financial
condition of the bank deteriorates in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, then unless Landlord has
previously received the required renewal or replacement Letter of Credit or Tenant has submitted a
cash equivalent, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold its proceeds, without interest
to Tenant, as the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be applied by Tenant to the
payment of Rent or any other amount for which it may become liable under this Lease, and such
Security Deposit or its use shall in no way relieve Tenant from the faithful and punctual
performance of all terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein imposed upon it or cure any
default. If Landlord draws down on the Security Deposit to satisfy any obligation of the Tenant,
Tenant, within ten (10) business days after demand, shall deliver to Landlord a replacement or
additional Letter of Credit or a cash equivalent which satisfies the requirements of this Article 6
so that Landlord shall have the full amount of the Security Deposit at all times during the term of
this Lease as existed immediately prior to such application. Landlord agrees that at the
termination of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such Letter of Credit as provided herein, the Letter
of Credit shall be terminated within ten (10) business days thereafter, provided that Tenant shall
have complied in all respects with the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained
herein. In the event of a change in or transfer of ownership by Landlord, or the sale, lease,
assignment or transfer of the Building (collectively, a

 

-14-

 

“Transfer Event”), Landlord shall transfer its interest in the Security Deposit to its purchaser,
assignee, transferee, or any other successor in interest and shall provide in writing the address
of such successor, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by the Tenant from all liability for
the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in the event of a
Transfer Event at no cost to Tenant and shall promptly execute all necessary documents reasonably
required by Landlord. After the conclusion of any Transfer Event, Tenant agrees to look solely to
the new landlord for all such future obligations as such new landlord shall have the same
responsibilities as contained in this Article 6. Nothing in this Article 6 shall be construed as
limiting Tenant’s liability under this Lease to the amount of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall
not be required to maintain the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. No trust
relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no uncured Default has ever occurred under any term or
provision contained in the Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both would constitute a Default and provided that the net worth of Tenant at
the end of the eighteenth (18th) month of the Term then equals or exceeds
$19,785,066.00, upon the expiration of the eighteenth (18th) month of the Term, the
requirement of Tenant to maintain the Letter of Credit shall lapse and Landlord shall immediately
return the Letter of Credit to Tenant. Failure of Tenant to meet the conditions hereunder for
lapse of the obligation to maintain the Letter of Credit shall automatically require that Tenant
maintain the Letter of Credit for the balance of the Term pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained in this Article 6.

ARTICLE 7 — OPERATING EXPENSES

7.1 Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to the costs of operation,
maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises, Building and Property as provided in the
Summary.

7.2 Utilities and Services. Utilities and Services to the Premises and the Property are
described in the Summary.

7.3 Taxes. As used in this Lease, the term “Taxes” means: All real property taxes and
assessments, possessory interest taxes, sales taxes, personal property taxes, business or license
taxes or fees, license or use fees, excises, transit charges, and other impositions of any kind
(including fees “in-lieu” or in substitution of any such tax or assessment) which are now or
hereafter assessed, levied, charged or imposed by any public authority upon the Building, Site,
Property and/or Premises or any portion thereof, its operations or the Rent derived therefrom (or
any portion or component thereof). Taxes shall not include inheritance or estate taxes imposed
upon or assessed against the interest of Landlord, gift taxes, excess profit taxes, franchise
taxes, or similar taxes on Landlord’s business or any other taxes computed upon the basis of the
net income of Landlord. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to Taxes as part of Operating Expenses
as provided in the Summary.

7.4 Insurance Costs. As used in this Lease, “Insurance Costs” means the cost of insurance
obtained by Landlord pursuant to Article 15. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to Insurance
Costs as part of Operating Expenses as provided in the Summary.

7.5 Interruption of Utilities. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any
interruption in utilities or services to be provided to the Premises when such failure is caused by
all or any of the following: (a) accident, breakage or repairs, unless caused by the negligence of
Landlord; (b) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any such
character; (c) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (d) inability,
despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain electricity, water or fuel; (e) service
interruptions or any other unavailability of utilities resulting from causes beyond Landlord’s
control including without limitation, any electrical power “brown-out” or “black-out”; or (f) any
other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any such
interruption in utilities or services, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction
of Rent (except as expressly provided in Articles 17 and 18 if such failure is a result of any
casualty damage or taking described therein), no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall
not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. In the event of
any stoppage or interruption of services or utilities

 

-15-

 

which are not obtained directly by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume such services or
utilities as promptly as practicable. If Landlord fails to provide any essential Building services
specifically required to be provided by Landlord under the Lease (i.e., water, electricity, sewer,
elevator service, HVAC, restrooms, loss of life safety systems, failure of fire code compliance),
and such interruption of service renders the Premises or any portion of the Premises untenantable
for a period of five (5) consecutive business days following Landlord’s receipt of written notice
from Tenant of such interruption of service, the Rent shall abate in proportion to the area of the
Premises that is rendered untenantable. Such abatement period shall commence upon the expiration
of said five (5) business day period. No such abatement shall be provided if such interruption of
service is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors, subtenants, invitees or assignees or by an act of God, or by matters not within the
control of Landlord (including without limitation the interruption of electrical service to the
Building through no fault of Landlord). The Premises shall be considered untenantable if Tenant
cannot use the Premises or portion thereof affected in the conduct of its normal business
operations as a result of said interruption of service to the Premises. It is agreed and
understood that Tenant shall not use or be entitled to use the Premises or portion thereof affected
to conduct its normal business operations during any day for which Landlord is obligated to abate
rent hereunder. The abatement herein provided shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for
interruption of service. Tenant agrees to fully cooperate with Landlord in remedying any such
interruption of essential Building services. The terms and conditions of this Section 7.5 shall
not apply to situations contemplated under provisions of the Lease pertaining to condemnation,
eminent domain, damage or destruction elsewhere described in the Lease.

ARTICLE 8 — MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

8.1 Landlord’s Repair Obligations. In addition to any repair obligations of Landlord set
forth elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall repair, maintain and replace as
necessary, the foundation and structural elements of the Building (including structural load
bearing walls and roof structure), and utility meters, electrical lines, pipes and conduits serving
the Building and the Premises; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs or
replacements are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of
Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs of such maintenance,
repairs and replacements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall
have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, renovate, redecorate or paint all or any
part of the Premises. Except as otherwise stated in the Summary, the non-disturbance agreement
from Landlord’s Mortgagee (as described in Article 26), and in the Work Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit C, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any applicable Laws.
All other repair and maintenance of the Premises, Building and Property to be performed by
Landlord, if any, shall be as provided in the Summary. To the extent such maintenance, repairs or
replacements are required as a result of the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or
any of Landlord’s Parties and Tenant is prohibited from using all or any material part of the
Premises for the permitted use herein as a result thereof, the Rent shall abate in proportion to
the area of the Premises that is rendered untenantable. It is agreed and understood that Tenant
shall not use or be entitled to use the Premises or portion thereof affected to conduct its normal
business operations during any day for which Landlord is obligated to abate Rent hereunder.

8.2 Tenant’s Repair Obligations. Except for Landlord’s obligations specifically set forth
elsewhere in this Lease and in Section 8.1 above and in the Summary, Tenant shall at all times and
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep, maintain, repair, preserve and replace, as necessary, the
interior of the Premises and all parts thereof including, without limitation, all Tenant
Improvements, Alterations, and all furniture, fixtures and equipment, including, without
limitation, all computer, telephone and data cabling and equipment, Tenant’s signs, if any, door
locks, closing devices, security devices, floors and floor coverings, shelving, kitchen, executive
restroom and/or shower facilities, and/or appliances of any kind located within the Premises, if
any, custom lighting, and any additions and other property located within the Premises, so as to
keep all of the foregoing elements of the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear
and tear and casualty damage excepted. Tenant shall replace, at its expense, any and all plate and
other glass in and about the Premises (other than exterior windows which shall be replaced by
Landlord) which is damaged or broken from any cause whatsoever except due to the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Such maintenance and repairs shall be performed with due diligence, lien-free and in a

 

-16-

 

first-class and workmanlike
manner, by licensed contractor(s) that are selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which
approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. All other repair and
maintenance of the Premises, Building and Property to be performed by Tenant, if any, shall be as
provided in the Summary. If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair and maintain the Premises
properly as required hereunder, then at any time following thirty (30) days from the date on which
Landlord makes a written demand on Tenant to effect such repair and maintenance (except in the
event of an emergency in which event no notice shall be required), Landlord may enter upon the
Premises and make such repairs and/or maintenance, and upon completion thereof, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, Landlord’s costs for making such repairs plus an amount not to
exceed five percent (5%) of such costs for overhead, within thirty (30) days of receipt from
Landlord of a written itemized bill therefor. Any amounts not reimbursed by Tenant within such
thirty (30) day period will bear interest at the Interest Rate until paid by Tenant.

ARTICLE 9 — USE

Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use specified in the Summary, and shall
not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other use or purpose whatsoever without
Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations
attached hereto as Exhibit E, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time,
and all reasonable non-discriminatory modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time
put into effect and furnished to Tenant by Landlord which modifications and additions shall in no
manner materially impact the ingress and egress of Tenant to the Premises nor the permitted use of
the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to enforce the Rules and Regulations, but shall
have no liability to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or occupant of
any such Rules and Regulations provided, however, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that all Building tenants comply with Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, observe and comply with all Laws and all requirements of any board of fire
underwriters or similar body relating to the Premises now or hereafter in force relating to or
affecting the condition, use, occupancy, alteration or improvement of the Premises (whether, except
as otherwise provided herein, structural or nonstructural, including unforeseen and/or
extraordinary alterations and/or improvements to the Premises and regardless of the period of time
remaining in the Term). Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,
immoral, unlawful or reasonably objectionable purpose. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done
anything that will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the
Building or the Property, if any, or injure them. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Property, nor commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in, on or about the Premises.

ARTICLE 10 — HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

As used in this Lease, the term “Environmental Law(s)” means any past, present or future
federal, state or local Law relating to (a) the environment, human health or safety, including,
without limitation, emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of Hazardous Materials
(as defined below) into the environment (including, without limitation, air, surface water,
groundwater or land), or (b) the manufacture, generation, refining, processing, distribution, use,
sale, treatment, receipt, storage, disposal, transport, arranging for transport, or handling of
Hazardous Materials. As used in this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any
hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes as now or hereafter designated or regulated
under any Environmental Laws including, without limitation, asbestos, petroleum, petroleum
hydrocarbons and petroleum based products, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, polychlorinated
biphenyls (“PCBs”), and freon and other chlorofluorocarbons. Except for ordinary and general
office supplies, such as copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink and common household cleaning
materials, and motor vehicle fuel stored in fuel tanks of motor vehicles, the Generator and Diesel
Tank used on site in compliance with all Environmental Laws (some or all of which may constitute
Hazardous Materials), Tenant agrees not to cause or knowingly permit any Hazardous Materials to be
brought upon, stored, used, handled, generated, released or disposed of on, in, under or about the
Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or any other portion of the Property by Tenant, its
agents, officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees,

 

-17-

 

contractors or invitees (collectively, “Tenant’s Parties”),
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon the early
termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the
Premises, the Building and the Property, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous
Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials which are installed,
brought upon, stored, used, generated or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the
Building and/or the Property or any portion thereof by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect, defend and hold
harmless Landlord and Landlord’s members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors, managers,
employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) from and against any
and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines,
expenses and costs (including, without limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration
costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and expert fees and
court costs) which arise or result from the presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about
the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Property and which are caused or permitted
by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, provided, however, Tenant shall have no responsibility for
any Hazardous Materials which existed in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. The
provisions of this Article 10 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or
the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord Notice
of any evidence of Mold, water leaks or water infiltration in the Premises promptly upon discovery
of same. Unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord
Parties, or unless caused by another tenant of the Building, Tenant, shall, at its expense,
investigate, clean up and remediate any Mold in the Premises. Investigation, clean up and
remediation may be performed only after Tenant has Landlord’s written approval of a plan for such
remediation. All clean up and remediation shall be done in compliance with all applicable Laws and
to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. As used in this Lease, “Mold” means mold, fungi,
spores, microbial matter, mycotoxins and microbiological organic compounds. Based on Landlord’s
actual knowledge, the Building contains no Hazardous Materials or Mold. To the extent any
Hazardous Materials, including asbestos, or Mold are discovered at any time prior to the
Commencement Date, Landlord shall remove and abate said Hazardous Materials or Mold at its sole
cost and expense.

ARTICLE 11 — PARKING

During the Term, Tenant shall be entitled to utilize the number and type of parking spaces
specified in the Summary within the parking areas for the Property as designated by Landlord from
time to time. Landlord shall at all times have the right to establish and modify the nature and
extent of the parking areas for the Building and Property (including whether such areas shall be
surface, underground and/or other structures) provided such modifications do not have an adverse
impact on the parking ratio for Tenant. In addition, if Tenant is not the sole occupant of the
Property, Landlord may, in its discretion, designate any unreserved parking spaces as reserved
parking. The terms and conditions for parking at the Property shall be as specified in the Summary
and in the Rules and Regulations regarding parking as contained in Exhibit E attached
hereto, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall not use more
parking spaces than its allotment and shall not use any parking spaces specifically assigned by
Landlord to other tenants, if any, or for such other uses such as visitor, handicapped or other
special purpose parking. Tenant’s visitors shall be entitled to access to the parking areas on the
Property designated for visitor use, subject to availability of spaces and the terms of the
Summary. The parking ratio provided to Tenant shall not decrease during the Term without the
express written approval of Tenant, which approval may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 12 — TENANT SIGNS

12.1 Premises Signage. Tenant shall have the right to have placed by Landlord, at Landlord’s
expense, Tenant’s name on a building standard suite/unit door sign and within all Building
directories. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to install signage using Tenant’s standard
graphics in the reception area or lobby of the Premises all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
Subsequent changes to Tenant’s suite/unit door sign and/or any additional signs, to the extent
permitted by Landlord herein, shall be made or installed by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all aspects of any such suite/unit door
signs shall be per Landlord’s standard specifications and materials, as revised by Landlord from
time to time. Tenant shall have no right to install or maintain any other signs, banners,
advertising, notices, displays, stickers, decals or any other logo or identification of any person,
product or service whatsoever, in any location on or in the Property except as (i) shall have been
expressly approved by Landlord in writing prior to the installation thereof (which approval may be
granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), (ii) shall not violate any signage
restrictions or exclusive sign rights contained in any then existing leases with other tenants of
the Property, if any, and (iii) are consistent and compatible with all applicable Laws, and the
design, signage and graphics program from time to time implemented by Landlord with respect to the
Property, if any. Landlord shall have the right to remove any signs or signage material installed
without Landlord’s permission, without being liable to Tenant by reason of such removal, and to
charge the cost of removal to Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder, payable within thirty (30) days
of written demand by Landlord.

12.2 Building Signage. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense
(or as part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance) and subject at all times to applicable Laws and
requisite governmental approvals, install the business name of Tenant on the parapet of either the
South Tower or North Tower as selected by Tenant (“Building Signage”). Landlord shall approve in
writing the final design and specifications of the Building Signage, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord agrees to permit the Tenant to maintain
the Building Signage for so long as no uncured Default has ever occurred under any term or
provision contained in the Lease and no condition exists under the Lease and provided further, that
Tenant has (i) continuously occupied a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the originally leased
Premises for the Permitted Use during the Term, as it may be extended, or (ii), if Tenant occupies
a minimum of 60,000 rentable square feet of the originally leased Premises for the Permitted Use
during the Term, as it may be extended, and is the largest current tenant in the Building. If any
of the foregoing requirements are not met, Landlord shall be entitled to immediately remove, at the
sole cost of Tenant, the Building Signage. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove the Building
Signage on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or upon the early
termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises and repair any damage to the Building caused
by such removal and shall restore the Building to its original condition (or, at Landlord’s option,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s costs of such removal and repair). Tenant shall be
responsible for all electrical expenses incurred for the use of the Building Signage and shall have
installed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a separate meter to monitor such usage. The Building
Signage set forth herein is personal to the named Tenant herein or to a Permitted Transferee and is
not transferable to any other assignee or subtenant. If a Permitted Transferee elects to modify
the Building Signage, it shall be permitted to do so at its sole expense, subject to the conditions
and requirements of this Section 12.

ARTICLE 13 — ALTERATIONS

13.1 Alterations. After installation of the initial Tenant Improvements for the Premises,
Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make alterations, additions, improvements and decorations
to the Premises (“Alterations”) subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

a. Tenant shall not make any Alterations without Landlord’s prior consent which: (i) affect
any area outside the Premises including the outside appearance, character or use of any
portions of the Building or other portions of the Property; (ii) affect the Building’s roof,
roof membrane, any structural component or any base Building equipment, services or systems,
or the proper functioning thereof, or Landlord’s access thereto; (iii) in the reasonable
opinion of Landlord, lessen the value of the Building or the Property; (iv) will violate or
require a change in any occupancy certificate applicable to the Premises; or (v) would
trigger a legal requirement which would require Landlord to make any alteration or
improvement to the Premises, Building or other aspect of the Property.

 

-19-

 

b. Tenant shall not make any Alterations not prohibited by Section 13.1(a), unless Tenant
first obtains Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, provided Landlord’s prior approval shall not be required for any Alteration that is not prohibited by Section 13.1(a) above and is of
a cosmetic nature that satisfies all of the following conditions (hereinafter a
“Pre-Approved Alteration”): (i) the costs of such Alteration do not exceed $3.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises; (ii) to the extent reasonably required by Landlord or
by law due to the nature of the work being performed, Tenant delivers to Landlord final
plans, specifications, working drawings, permits and approvals for such Alterations at least
ten (10) days prior to commencement of the work thereof; and (iii) Tenant and such
Alterations otherwise satisfy all other conditions set forth in this Section 13.1. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with ten (10) days’ prior written notice before commencing any
Alterations. In addition, before proceeding with any Alteration, Tenant’s contractors shall
obtain, on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (A) all necessary
governmental permits and approvals for the commencement and completion of such Alterations,
and (B) if the cost of such Alterations exceeds $100,000.00, a completion and lien indemnity
bond, or other surety satisfactory to Landlord for such Alterations. Landlord’s approval of
any plans, contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) of Tenant shall not release Tenant or any such
contractor(s) and/or subcontractor(s) from any liability with respect to such Alterations
and will create no liability or responsibility on Landlord’s part concerning the
completeness of such Alterations or their design sufficiency or compliance with Laws.

c. All Alterations shall be performed: (i) in accordance with the approved plans,
specifications and working drawings, if any; (ii) lien-free and in a first-class workmanlike
manner; (iii) in compliance with all Laws; (iv) in such a manner so as not to unreasonably
interfere with the occupancy of any other tenant, nor impose any additional expense upon nor
delay Landlord in the maintenance and operation of the Building; (v) by licensed and
bondable contractors and subcontractors selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by
Landlord, and (v) at such times, in such manner and subject to such rules and regulations as
Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate.

d. If the consent of Landlord is required, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
the reasonable costs of Landlord’s engineers and other consultants for review of all plans,
specifications and working drawings for the Alterations, within thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s receipt of invoices either from Landlord or such consultants. In addition to such
costs, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after completion of any
Alterations, a construction supervision fee equal to four percent (4%) of the total cost of
the Alterations and the actual, reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for any services
rendered by Landlord’s management personnel and engineers to coordinate and/or supervise any
of the Alterations only to the extent such services are provided in excess of or after the
normal on-site hours of such engineers and management personnel.

e. Throughout the performance of the Alterations, Tenant shall obtain, or cause its
contractors to obtain, workers compensation insurance and commercial general liability
insurance in compliance with the insurance provisions of this Lease.

13.2 Removal of Alterations. All Alterations and the initial Tenant Improvements in the
Premises (whether installed or paid for by Landlord or Tenant), shall become the property of
Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term or upon
the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises; provided, however, Landlord may, by
written notice delivered to Tenant at the time Landlord provides its consent for installation of
the Alterations, identify those Alterations which Landlord shall require Tenant to remove at the
end of the Term. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any such Alterations, Tenant shall, at its
sole cost, remove the identified items on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease or upon the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises and repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such removal to its original condition.

13.3 Liens. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens to be filed
against all or any part of the Property or the Premises, nor against Tenant’s leasehold interest in
the Premises, by reason of or in connection with any repairs, alterations, improvements or other
work contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If any such liens are filed,
Tenant shall, at its sole cost, immediately cause such liens to be released of record or bonded so
that such lien(s) no longer affect(s) title to the Property, the Building or the Premises or
provide adequate financial assurances as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, of Tenant’s ability to pay the amount represented by such lien. If Tenant fails
to cause any such lien to be released or bonded within ten (10) business days after filing thereof,
Landlord may cause such lien to be released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in
satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such lien, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within
thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such
liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord.

ARTICLE 14 — TENANT’S INSURANCE

14.1 Tenant’s Insurance. On or before the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant
commences or causes to be commenced any work of any type in the Premises, and continuing during the
entire Term, Tenant shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, the following insurance with
limits of coverage as set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary:

a. Special Form (formerly known as “all risk”) insurance, including fire and extended
coverage, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism, malicious
mischief plus, if the Property is located currently or at any time in the future in an area
identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood
hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (as such acts may from time to time be amended), flood coverage
upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and located in the Premises or
the Building, or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant
including, without limitation, furniture, equipment and any other personal property, and any
Alterations (but excluding the initial Tenant Improvements previously existing or installed
in the Premises), in an amount not less then the full replacement cost thereof. In the
event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost,
the decision of Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord shall be presumptive.

b. Commercial general liability insurance coverage on an occurrence basis, including
personal injury, bodily injury (including wrongful death), broad form property damage,
operations hazard, owner’s protective coverage, contractual liability (including Tenant’s
indemnification obligations under this Lease), liquor liability (if Tenant serves alcohol on
the Premises), products and completed operations liability. The limits of liability of such
commercial general liability insurance may be increased every three (3) years during the
Term upon reasonable prior notice by Landlord to an amount reasonably required by Landlord
and appropriate for tenants of buildings comparable to the Building.

c. Commercial Automobile Liability covering all owned, hired and non-owned automobiles.

d. Worker’s compensation, in statutory amounts and employers liability, covering all persons
employed in connection with any work done in, on or about the Premises for which claims for
death, bodily injury or illness could be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or the Premises.

e. Umbrella liability insurance on an occurrence basis, in excess of and following the form
of the underlying insurance described in Section 14.1.b. and 14.1.c. and the employer’s
liability coverage in Section 14.1.d. which is at least as broad as each and every area of
the underlying policies. Such umbrella liability insurance shall include pay on behalf of
wording, concurrency of effective dates with primary policies, blanket contractual
liability, application of primary policy aggregates, and shall provide that if the
underlying aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance,
subject to customary commercially reasonable deductible amounts imposed on umbrella
policies.

f. If Tenant’s business includes professional services, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense,
maintain in full force and effect professional liability (also known as errors and omissions
insurance), covering Tenant and Tenant’s employees from work related negligence and
liability in trade.

 

-21-

 

g. Loss of income, extra expense and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will
reimburse Tenant for twelve (12) months of direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable
to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of
access to the Premises, Tenant’s parking areas or to the Building as a result of such
perils. Tenant may elect not to carry loss of income, extra expense or business
interruption insurance in which event Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to self insure
such loss.

h. Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord
may reasonably require from time to time, in form, amounts and for insurance risks against
which a prudent tenant of a building similar to the Building would protect itself, but only
to the extent such risks and amounts are available in the insurance market at commercially
reasonable costs.

14.2 Requirements. Each policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder shall: (a) be
issued by insurers which are approved by Landlord and/or Landlord’s mortgagees and are authorized
to do business in the state in which the Building is located and rated not less than Financial Size
X, and with a Financial Strength rating of A in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide

Landlord; (c) name Tenant as named insured thereunder and shall name Landlord and, at Landlord’s
request, such other persons or entities of which Tenant has been informed in writing, as additional
insureds thereunder, all as their respective interests may appear; (d) not have a deductible amount
exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), which deductible amount shall be deemed self-insured
with full waiver of subrogation, provided, however, the deductible amount for the errors and
omissions insurance may have a deductible not exceeding an amount reasonably determined by Tenant;
(e) specifically provide that the insurance afforded by such policy for the benefit of Landlord and
any other additional insureds shall be primary, and any insurance carried by Landlord or any other
additional insureds shall be excess and non-contributing; (f) contain an endorsement that the
insurer waives its right to subrogation; (g) require the insurer to notify Landlord and any other
additional insureds in writing not less than ten (10) days prior to any material change, reduction
in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof; (h) contain a cross liability or
severability of interest endorsement; and (i) be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any
coinsurance requirements thereof. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable
after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than the date Tenant is required
to obtain such insurance as set forth in Section 14.1 above, certificates from the insurance
company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing
provisions of this Article 14. Tenant shall cause replacement certificates to be delivered to
Landlord not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies. If
any such initial or replacement certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and certificates at
Tenant’s expense.

14.3 Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will (a)
violate or invalidate any insurance policy maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or (b)
increase the costs of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord. If Tenant’s occupancy or
conduct of its business in or on the Premises results in any increase in premiums for any insurance
carried by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Property, Tenant shall either discontinue
the activities affecting the insurance or pay such increase as Additional Rent within thirty (30)
days after being billed therefor by Landlord. If any insurance coverage carried by Landlord
pursuant to this Lease or otherwise with respect to the Building or the Property shall be cancelled
or reduced (or cancellation or reduction thereof shall be threatened) by reason of the use or
occupancy of the Premises other than as allowed by the Permitted Use by Tenant or by anyone
permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy such condition within
ten (10) business days after notice thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this
Lease and Landlord shall have all remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and attempt to
remedy such condition at Tenant’s cost.

ARTICLE 15 — LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

During the Term, Landlord shall maintain Property Insurance written on a Special Form
(formerly known as “all risk”) basis covering the Property and the Building, including the initial
Tenant Improvements (excluding, however, Tenant’s furniture, equipment and other personal property
and Alterations, unless Landlord otherwise elects to insure the Alterations pursuant to Section
13.1 above) against damage by fire and standard extended coverage perils and with vandalism and
malicious mischief endorsements, rental loss coverage, at Landlord’s option, earthquake damage
coverage, and such additional coverage as Landlord deems appropriate. Such insurance coverage
shall be for the full replacement cost of the Building. Landlord shall also carry commercial
general liability in such reasonable amounts (but not less than $5,000,000.00) and with such
reasonable deductibles as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the state in
which the Building is located. At Landlord’s option, all such insurance may be carried under any
blanket or umbrella policies that Landlord has in force for other buildings and projects. Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or the
mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord may reasonably determine is advisable. The cost of
insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Article 15 shall be included in Insurance Costs,
except that any increase in the premium for the property insurance attributable to the replacement
cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess of Building standard shall not be included as Insurance
Costs, but shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of invoice from Landlord.

ARTICLE 16 — INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION

16.1 Tenant’s Assumption of Risk and Waiver. Except to the extent such matter is not covered
by the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease or except to the extent such
matter is attributable to the negligence and/or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s
agents, contractors or employees, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s
Parties for: (i) any damage to property of Tenant, or of others, located in, on or about the
Premises, (ii) the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise,
(iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling ceiling
tiles masonry, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or leaks from any part of the Premises or from
the pipes, appliance of plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other
places or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, (iv) any such damage caused by
other tenants or persons in the Premises, occupants of any other portions of the Property, or the
public, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or (v)
any interruption of Utilities and Services. Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant for any
consequential damages or for loss of business, revenue, income or profits and Tenant hereby waives
any and all claims for any such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 16.1, all property of Tenant and Tenant’s Parties kept or stored on the Premises,
whether leased or owned by any such parties, shall be so kept or stored at the sole risk of Tenant
and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same,
including subrogation claims by Tenant’s insurance carriers. Landlord or its agents shall not be
liable for interference with light or other intangible rights.

16.2 Indemnification.

a. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and the
Landlord Parties harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes
of action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
court costs (collectively, “Tenant Indemnified Claims”), arising or resulting from (a) any
occurrence attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, contractors
or employees in the Premises following the date Landlord delivers possession of all or any portion
of the Premises to Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, (b) the use of the Premises, the Building
and the Property and conduct of Tenant’s business by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, or any
other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, in
or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere on the Property; and/or (c) any default by Tenant
as to any obligations on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or the terms
of any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party or by which it is bound, affecting this
Lease or the Premises. The foregoing indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, any injury to, or death of,
any person, or any loss of, or damage to, any property on the Premises, or on adjoining sidewalks,
streets or ways, or connected with the use, condition or occupancy thereof. In case any action or
proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord Parties by reason of any such Tenant
Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by
counsel approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Section 16.2 and elsewhere in this Lease shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the early termination of Tenant’s
right to occupy the Premises. Tenant’s covenants, agreements and indemnification in Section 16.1
and this Section 16.2 are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its
obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease.

 

-23-

 

b. Landlord shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant and the
Tenant Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of
action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court
costs (collectively, “Landlord Indemnified Claims”), arising or resulting from: (a) any occurrence
attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors or
employees in the Building following the date Landlord delivers possession of all or any portion of
the Premises to Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or Tenant’s Parties; (b) the use of the Building and the Property and conduct of Landlord’s
business by Landlord or any of Landlord’s Parties, or any other activity, work or thing done,
permitted or suffered by Landlord or any of Landlord’s Parties, in or about the Building or
elsewhere on the Property; and/or (c) any default by Landlord as to any obligations on Landlord’s
part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or the terms of any contract or agreement to
which Landlord is a party or by which it is bound, affecting this Lease or the Building. The
foregoing indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, any injury to, or death of, any
person or any loss of, or damage to, any property within the Building, or on adjoining sidewalks,
streets or ways or in connection with the use, condition, or occupancy thereof. In case any action
or proceeding is brought against Tenant or any Tenant Parties by reason of any such Landlord
Indemnified Claims, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall defend the same at Landlord’s expense
by counsel approved in writing by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Landlord’s indemnification obligations under this Section 16.2 and elsewhere in this Lease shall
survive the expiration of early termination of this Lease or the early termination of Tenant’s
rights to occupy the Premises. Landlord’s covenants, agreements and indemnifications in Section
16.2 are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under
policies required to be carried by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 17 — CASUALTY DAMAGE/DESTRUCTION

17.1 Landlord’s Rights and Obligations. If the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or
other casualty not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant (“Casualty”) to an
extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord’s
contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the
Building and/or Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition
immediately prior to such damage within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such
casualty, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair,
reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord
shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with alternate space in the
Building. If, however, the Premises or the Building is damaged to an extent exceeding twenty-five
percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord’s contractor estimates that such
work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will require longer than one hundred twenty (120)
days to complete from the date of casualty, or Landlord will not receive proceeds from insurance
required to be carried by Tenant sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and
restoration, then Landlord may elect to either: (a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of
the Premises or Building damaged by such Casualty (including the Tenant Improvements, the
Alterations that Landlord elects to insure pursuant to Section 13.1 and, to the extent of insurance
proceeds received from Tenant, the Alterations that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to
Section 13.1), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or (b) terminate
this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s
election to so terminate. Under any of the conditions of this Section 17.1, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its
intention to repair or terminate within the later of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such
Casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the estimate from Landlord’s contractor
or, as applicable, thirty (30) days after Landlord receives approval from Landlord’s Mortgagee to
rebuild. If, for any reason (including Landlord’s failure to obtain insurance for the full
replacement cost of any Alterations in the Building which Landlord is required to insure pursuant
to Section 13.1 hereof), Landlord fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement
cost of such damages, Landlord shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such
damages.

 

-24-

 

17.2 Tenant’s Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage or destruction of all
or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and
(b) deliver to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Tenant
Improvements and Alterations (to the extent such items are not covered by Landlord’s casualty
insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Lease) and with respect to Alterations in the
Premises that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1, excluding proceeds for
Tenant’s furniture and other personal property, whether or not this Lease is terminated as
permitted in Section 17.1, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such
insurance proceeds. If, for any reason (including Tenant’s failure to obtain insurance for the
full replacement cost of any Alterations which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section
13.1 hereof), Tenant fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such
Alterations which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of
such Alterations, and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by
Landlord from Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance with respect to such items.

17.3 Abatement of Rent. If as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or
restoration of the Premises or the Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the
Premises or any portion thereof, then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during
the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or
portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises
that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of
the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, there shall be no abatement
of Rent. Except for abatement of Rent as provided hereinabove and as provided in Section 17.7
below, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference
with, Tenant’s business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises resulting from any such
damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

17.4 Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 17, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged
portion of the Building or Premises pursuant to Section 17.1 above, but is delayed from completing
such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is six (6) months after the
date estimated by Landlord’s contractor for completion thereof pursuant to Section 17.1, by reason
of any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, delays due
to Force Majeure, and delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties), then Landlord or Tenant
may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party.

17.5 Damage to the Property. If there is a total destruction of the improvements on the
Property or partial destruction of such improvements, the cost of restoration of which would exceed
one-third (1/3) of the then replacement value of all improvements on the Property, by any cause
whatsoever, whether or not insured against and whether or not the Premises are partially or totally
destroyed, Landlord or Tenant may within a period of one hundred fifty (150) days after the
occurrence of such destruction, notify the other party in writing that it elects to terminate the
Lease as of the date of such destruction.

17.6 Damage Near End of Term. In addition to its termination rights in Sections 17.1, 17.4
and 17.5 above, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the
Building or Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and Landlord’s
contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled
expiration date of the Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty.

17.7 Tenant’s Termination Right in the Event of Damage or Destruction. In the event of any
damage or destruction which affects Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises which is not caused
by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, if Tenant’s possession and use of the Premises cannot be
restored by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days for reasons other than delays caused by
Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Landlord.

 

-25-

 

ARTICLE 18 — CONDEMNATION

18.1 Substantial or Partial Taking. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, either
party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any
public or quasi-public use under law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a
“Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any
portion of the Building or the Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s
ability to operate the remainder of the Building at or above the same level of profitability as it
is currently being operated and/or the Property. The terminating party shall provide written
notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after it first receives notice of
the Taking. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting
possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not
terminated, Base Rent and all other elements of this Lease which are dependant upon the area of the
Premises, the Building or the Property shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction
in the square footage of the Premises, Building or Property, as applicable. Each party shall have
the right to seek compensation from the condemning authority for damages suffered from the Taking,
provided that the termination of this Lease by either party shall not affect Tenant’s rights to
seek damages for the value of the Lease for the Term remaining notwithstanding the termination.

18.2 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.1 above and Section 18.3
below, in connection with any Taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation,
without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly
understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to
Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall
be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking
authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess
value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be
granted the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation
as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s furniture,
fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant’s relocation
expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant’s business by reason of such
taking.

18.3 Temporary Taking. In the event of a Taking of the Premises or any part thereof for
temporary use, Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award
made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that
if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall perform its obligations with respect to surrender of the Premises but shall not be obligated
to pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the
Term expiration date. For purpose of this Section 18.3, a temporary taking shall be defined as a
taking for a period of one hundred fifty (150) days or less.

ARTICLE 19 — WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

19.1 Tenant Waiver. Tenant hereby waives its rights against Landlord for any claims or
damages or losses, including any deductibles and self-insured amounts, which are caused by or
result from (a) any occurrence insured under any property insurance policy carried by Tenant, or
(b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any property insurance required to be
obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required. The foregoing waiver shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of,
any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

19.2 Landlord Waiver. Landlord hereby waives its rights against Tenant for any claims or
damages or losses, including any deductibles and self-insured amounts, which are caused by or
result from: (a) any occurrence insured under any property insurance policy carried by Landlord; or
(b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any property insurance required to be
obtained and maintained by Landlord under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and
maintained as required. The foregoing waiver shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any
other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

 

-26-

 

19.3 Waiver of Insurers. Each party shall cause each property insurance policy carried by it
to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other,
in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If either party fails to
maintain insurance for an insurable loss, such loss shall be deemed to be self-insured with a
deemed full waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 20 — ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

20.1 Restriction on Transfer. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section
20.6 below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord
will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, assign this Lease or any interest herein or
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any
party other than Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease, license or the like being
sometimes referred to as a “Transfer”). In no event may Tenant encumber or hypothecate this Lease
or the Premises. Nothing contained in this Section 20 shall prevent Tenant from marketing or
offering the Premises for sublease at a lower rental rate than Landlord is currently charging or
prohibit Tenant from competing with Landlord for any prospective tenants or subtenants, provided,
however Tenant may not market or offer the Premises for sublease to current tenants in the
Building. This prohibition against Transfers shall be construed to include a prohibition against
any assignment or subletting by operation of law. Any Transfer without Landlord’s consent (except
for a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 20.6 below) shall constitute a Default by Tenant under
this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies at law, in equity or under this
Lease, such Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord’s election. For purposes of this Article 20,
other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer under Section 20.6 and transfers of stock of Tenant
if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized
security exchange or over-the-counter market, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other
entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of forty-nine percent (49%) or more
(individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or
any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting
interest in such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of
the restrictions and provisions contained in this Article 20.

20.2 Landlord’s Options. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”),
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (“Transfer Notice”) setting forth the terms and
conditions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other
transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a “Transferee”). Tenant shall also deliver to
Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and such evidence of financial
responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably require, and such other information
concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord
may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, within fifteen (15) business
days of Landlord’s receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by
Landlord pursuant to this Section 20.2, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of
the following: (a) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as
Landlord may impose in providing such consent; (b) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on
reasonable grounds; or (c) terminate this Lease as to all or such portion of the Premises which is
proposed to be sublet or assigned by Tenant and recapture all or such portion of the Premises which
is proposed to be sublet or assigned by Tenant for reletting by Landlord, which termination shall be effective as of the proposed Transfer Date provided, however, if Landlord
refuses to grant such consent and elects to terminate the Lease as to such portion of the Premises,
Tenant shall have the right within fifteen (15) days after notice of Landlord’s exercise of its
right to terminate to withdraw Tenant’s request for such consent and remain in possession of the
Premises under the terms and conditions hereof. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate the
Lease with respect to only a portion of the Premises following Tenant’s request for Landlord’s
approval of the proposed sublease of such space (and Tenant has not withdrawn such request for
consent), Landlord shall be responsible for the construction of any demising wall which Landlord
reasonably deems necessary to separate such space from the remainder of the Premises.

 

-27-

 

20.3 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. A condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer
will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment,
sublease, transfer or hypothecation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, an
original of Landlord’s standard consent form executed by both Tenant and the proposed Transferee,
and an affirmation of guaranty in form satisfactory to Landlord executed by each guarantor of this
Lease, if any. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30)
days after receipt thereof, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant
hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any rent or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a
result of any Transfer which exceeds, in the aggregate, (i) the total Rent which Tenant is
obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any
portion of the Premises subleased) for the applicable period, plus (ii) any reasonable brokerage
commissions, attorneys’ fees, tenant improvements or other monetary concession actually paid by
Tenant in connection with such Transfer, which commissions and fees shall, for purposes of the
aforesaid calculation, be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of such assignment or
sublease. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer
(whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, and as a condition precedent to
Landlord’s consideration of the proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a
non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus Landlord’s reasonable
attorneys’ and paralegal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing such proposed
assignment or sublease (whether attributable to Landlord’s in-house attorneys or paralegals or
otherwise). Acceptance of the Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) administrative fee and/or
reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys’ and/or paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to
consent to any proposed Transfer.

20.4 Reasonable Disapproval. Without limiting in any way Landlord’s right to withhold its
consent on any reasonable grounds, it is agreed that Landlord will not be acting unreasonably in
refusing to consent to a Transfer if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) the proposed assignee
or subtenant does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the
Transfer; (b) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Building or Property; (c) the
proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (d) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or
assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (e) the proposed
Transfer involves a change of use of the Premises or would violate any exclusive use covenant to
which Landlord is bound; (f) the Transfer would likely result in significant increase in the use of
the parking areas by the Transferee’s employees or visitors, and/or significantly increase the
demand upon utilities and services above what Landlord is required to provide in the Lease to the
Premises; and (g) the Transferee is not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion of reputable or good
character or consistent with Landlord’s desired tenant mix for the Building.

20.5 No Release. Subject to the provisions of Section 20.6 below, no Transfer, occupancy or
collection of rent from any proposed Transferee shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord,
or the acceptance of the Transferee as Tenant and no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform
all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any
Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee,
and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said sublessee written notice that Tenant is
in default under this Lease, said sublessee will thereafter make all payments due under the
sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any
payments due under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord
all rents and other sums payable under any sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that
Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant
is not in default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of
default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the
terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against such Transferee or successor.

 

-28-

 

20.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20.1 above to the
contrary, provided that Tenant is not then in Default, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof (herein, a “Permitted Transfer”), without Landlord’s consent to any
entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity
resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all
the assets of Tenant’s business as a going concern (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), provided that:
(a) at least fifteen (15) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord a
reasonably detailed description of the proposed Transfer and the financial statements and other
financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Section 20.2 above;
(b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease (or in the case of a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term
assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion) pursuant to an assignment
and assumption agreement (or a sublease, as applicable) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, a fully
executed copy of which is delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the effective
date of such assignment or subletting; (c) each guarantor of this Lease executes a reaffirmation of
its guaranty in form satisfactory to Landlord; (d) the net worth of the assignee or sublessee
equals or exceeds that of Tenant as of (i) the date of execution of this Lease, or (ii) the date
immediately preceding the proposed transfer; (e) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease;
(f) the use of the Premises is pursuant to Section 1.10 of the Lease; (g) such transaction is not
entered into as a subterfuge to avoid the restrictions and provisions of this Article 20 and will
not violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound; and (h) with respect to a
subletting only, Tenant and such Permitted Transferee execute Landlord’s standard consent to
sublease form; and (i) Tenant is not in default under the Lease.

ARTICLE 21 — SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER

21.1 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or upon
the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises, Tenant shall surrender all keys for
the Premises and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good condition
and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty damage excepted), with all of Tenant’s
personal property, electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is
installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (to be removed in accordance with the National
Electric Code and other applicable Laws) and those items, if any, of Alterations identified by
Landlord pursuant to Section 13.1, removed therefrom and all damage caused by such removal
repaired. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord, in its sole
discretion and upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, may require removal of the interior
stairwell, if any, by either Tenant or Landlord, but in either event at the sole expense of Tenant.
If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or upon the early
termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises, all of its personal property and Alterations
identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Section 13.1, Landlord may, (without liability to
Tenant for loss thereof), at Tenant’s sole cost and in addition to Landlord’s other rights and
remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items in accordance with
applicable Law; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items
at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain as permitted under applicable Law.
Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease
from Tenant (including Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage
and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.

21.2 Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the Premises after
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord,
which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with or without the express written consent
of Landlord, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant shall become a
tenant at sufferance only, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease so far as
applicable (including Tenant’s obligation to pay all Additional Rent under this Lease), but (i) for the first three (3) months after the expiration of the Term, at
a Monthly Base Rent equal to 125% of the monthly Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior
to the date of such expiration or earlier termination, and (ii) for any time thereafter, at a
Monthly Base Rent equal to 150% of the monthly Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to
the date of such expiration or earlier termination. Any such holdover Rent shall be paid on a per
month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or

 

-29-

 

earlier termination shall not constitute consent to a hold over
hereunder or result in an extension of this Lease. This Section 21.2 shall not be construed to
create any express or implied right to holdover beyond the expiration of the Term or any extension
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall have the right to holdover for the
first three (3) months after the expiration of the Term pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof
provided Tenant has provided a minimum of sixty (60) days advance written notice to Landlord of
Tenant’s intent to holdover which three (3) month holdover shall automatically be deemed to be with
the consent of Landlord. Tenant shall be liable, and shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days
of demand, for all losses incurred by Landlord as a result of such unauthorized holdover, and shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against all
liabilities, damages, losses, claims, suits, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs) arising from or relating to any such holdover tenancy, including without
limitation, any claim for damages made by a succeeding tenant. Tenant’s indemnification obligation
hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or the early
termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. The foregoing provisions of this Section
21.2 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of
Landlord hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 22 — DEFAULTS

22.1 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a “Default” under this Lease by Tenant:

a. the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for five
(5) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not
received when due; provided that if Landlord provides two (2) or more notices of late
payment within any twelve (12) month period, then the third failure of Tenant to make
any payment of Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when
due in the twelve (12) month period following the second (2nd) such notice
shall be an automatic Default without notice from Landlord;

b. the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied
covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than
as specified in Sections 22.1(a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;
provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it may be cured
but more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion; or

c. a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) involving Tenant shall occur, and in
connection therewith Tenant is liquidated or dissolved or Tenant is proceeding towards
its liquidation or dissolution.

Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 22.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under any applicable Law.

22.2 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of
any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has failed to perform
such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying
wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of
Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance,
then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. Notice to
Landlord of any such alleged default shall be ineffective unless such notice is simultaneously
delivered to any Mortgagee. Tenant agrees to give all Mortgagees, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served upon
Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice
of assignment of rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such Mortgagees. Tenant
further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for
in this Lease, then the Mortgagees shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure
such default, or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may
be necessary if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently
pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure
proceedings if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated
while such remedies are being diligently pursued. In no event will Landlord or any Mortgagee be
responsible for any consequential damages incurred by Tenant as a result of any default, including,
but not limited to lost profits or interruption of business as a result of any alleged default by
Landlord hereunder.

 

-30-

 

ARTICLE 23 — REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

23.1 Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in
addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity,
Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant
hereunder. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from
Tenant all monetary damages allowed under applicable Law, which may include: (a) the worth at the
time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b)
the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) the prorated amount of
any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by
Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of
things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: Tenant Improvement
costs; attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation
and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal)
and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, Tenant
Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not
remove.

As used in Sections 23.1(a), 23.1(b) and 23(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed
by allowing interest for Sections 23.1(a) and 23.1(b) and by discounting such amount in Section
23.1(c) at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary.

23.2 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such
Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law
or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right to (a) continue this Lease in effect after
Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, and (b) with or without
terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the
Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law.
No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 23.2, and no
acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as
an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or
unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

23.3 Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease,
all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of Rent. In the event of any Default by
Tenant, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make
such payment or perform such other act as required to cure such Default on behalf of Tenant. All
sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such
other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand therefor as
Additional Rent.

23.4 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained
in this Article 23 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no
one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or
all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity,
whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Article 23 shall be deemed to limit or
otherwise affect Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

 

-31-

 

23.5 Costs Upon Default and Litigation. The non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing
party all the expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any default hereunder or
the exercise of any remedy by reason of any default hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses. If either party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall be made a party for any litigation
commenced against the other party or any litigation pertaining to this Lease, the Premises, or the
Building, at the option of the Indemnified Party, the other party, at its expense, shall provide
the Indemnified Party with counsel approved by the Indemnified Party and shall pay all costs
incurred or paid by the Indemnified Party in connection with such litigation.

23.6 Tenant’s Remedies. In the event of any uncured default by Landlord, in addition to any
other remedies available to Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to all rights
available to it at law or in equity including, but not limited to, seeking from Landlord any and
all damages Tenant may suffer (other than punitive or consequential damages) including, but not
limited to, Tenant’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in prosecuting any such
action together with interest at the Interest Rate.

ARTICLE 24 — ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter
the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service required to be provided by Landlord to
Tenant under this Lease, to exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during
the last year of the Term to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to
alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building or Property, all without
being deemed guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or any
eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of Rent. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall
endeavor to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant’s
business, and shall provide Tenant with not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (oral
or written) of such entry (except in emergency situations and for scheduled services). For each of
the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all
of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and secure areas,
and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors (including any
secure areas) in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises
obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be
construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an
eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or
reduction of Rent and, unless caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord,
Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such
entry by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25 — LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord
under this Lease (including as to any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not
constitute personal obligations of the individual members, investors, partners, directors,
officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek
recourse against the individual members, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders
of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest
in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this
Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and
notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and
agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its
obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure,
breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in
the Property, and no other assets of Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far
as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and
include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s
interest in a ground lease of, the Property. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any
such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be
automatically relieved of all future covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in
this Lease. Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to
transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Premises, the Building,
the Property and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent
transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of
this Lease.

 

-32-

 

ARTICLE 26 — SUBORDINATION

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground
lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the
Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively
referred to as a “Mortgage”), subject to the receipt by Tenant of a fully-executed Non-Disturbance
Agreement executed by Lender in Lender’s form which shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant. This
clause shall be self-operative, but no later than ten (10) business days after written request from
Landlord or any holder of a Mortgage (a “Mortgagee”), Tenant shall execute a commercially
reasonable subordination agreement. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any
time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. No later than ten (10) business days after written
request by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to any successor to
Landlord’s interest in the Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future Law
which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this
Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or
sale. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten (10) business day
period, Tenant shall be in default hereunder. With respect to an existing and future mortgage or
deed of trust entered into by Landlord, Tenant’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to
receiving assurance (“non-disturbance agreement”) from the lender thereunder that Tenant’s
possession and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed
so long as Tenant is not in Default hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.
Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on or before the Commencement Date
such non-disturbance agreement from the Lender on Lender’s standard form, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit I.

ARTICLE 27 — ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of
Exhibit F attached hereto. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Article
27 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any
portion of the Property, as well as their assignees. Tenant’s failure to deliver such estoppel
certificate following an additional two (2) business day cure period after notice shall constitute
a Default hereunder. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as
may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and
that not more than one (1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

ARTICLE 28 — RELOCATION OF PREMISES

Intentionally left blank.

ARTICLE 29 — MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

If, in connection with Landlord’s obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for
any portion of the Building or Property, the lender or ground lessor shall request modifications to
this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after request therefor, execute an amendment to
this Lease including such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable, and in the
commercially reasonable judgment of Tenant, do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or
adversely affect the leasehold estate created hereby or Tenant’s rights hereunder. Landlord shall be responsible for reimbursing Tenant the actual
and reasonable attorney’s fees and professional third party consultant fees incurred by Tenant in
negotiating such modification. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will
give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee
covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to
Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to
cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain
possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder, by power of sale
or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure).

 

-33-

 

ARTICLE 30 — QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon Tenant performing all of the covenants
and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease (including payment of
Rent hereunder), Tenant shall have the right to use and occupy the Premises in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease as against all persons claiming by, through or
under Landlord. This covenant shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or
their respective periods of ownership of the Building.

ARTICLE 31 — MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

31.1 Broker. Tenant represents that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker,
finder or intermediary with respect to this Lease, other than the Brokers specified in the Summary.
Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably approved in writing by Landlord)
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) resulting
from any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representation, including, without limitation, any
claims that may be asserted against Landlord by any broker, agent or finder undisclosed by Tenant
herein. Landlord shall indemnify, protect, and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all
claims, judgments, suits, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and court costs) resulting from any other brokers claiming to have represented
Landlord in connection with this Lease. The foregoing indemnities shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease or the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the
Premises. Landlord shall pay to the Brokers the brokerage fee, if any, pursuant to a separate
written agreement between Landlord and Brokers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord fails to pay any brokerage fees or commissions for
which it is responsible, and after Tenant has given Landlord (and its Mortgagee) thirty (30) days’
notice of such failure to pay, then Tenant shall have the right to send a second notice to that
effect to Landlord, with a copy to the Mortgagee, conspicuously stating that Tenant intends to
exercise the offset rights as set forth herein if Landlord does not cure such failure within ten
(10) business days after receipt by Landlord of such second written demand. If such reimbursement
is not made within ten (10) business days after such second written demand is delivered to
Landlord, then Tenant may deduct the actual brokerage fees or commissions, plus interest at the
Interest Rate, paid by Tenant to the Brokers, from the Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent and any
other sums due from Tenant under this Lease, in addition to exercising any other remedies Tenant
may have.

31.2 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed pursuant to, the laws of
the state in which the Building is located. Tenant shall comply with all governmental and
quasi-governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the Building, Property and/or the
Premises, and all rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto and all covenants, conditions and
restrictions applicable to and/or of record against the Building, Property and/or the Site
(individually, a “Law” and collectively, the “Laws”).

31.3 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Article 25 above, and except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease
shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, no rights
shall inure to the benefit of any Transferee of Tenant unless the Transfer to such Transferee is
made in compliance with the provisions of Article 20, and no options or other rights which are
expressly made personal to the original Tenant hereunder or in any rider attached hereto shall be assignable to or exercisable by anyone other than the original Tenant
under this Lease or a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Article 20.6).

31.4 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual
termination thereof shall not work as a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, either
(a) terminate all or any existing subleases, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of
Tenant’s interest under any or all such subleases.

31.5 Professional Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit (or alternate dispute
resolution proceedings) against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful
detainer or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs and expenses incurred by
the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its actual appraisers’, accountants’,
attorneys’ and other professional fees, expenses and court costs), shall be paid by the other
party. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and
other costs incurred to comply with any applicable statutes governing forcible entry and detainer
or to enforce any provision of this Lease, whether suit is brought or not.

 

-34-

 

31.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any term,
covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same or any other term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or
practice which may become established between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof
be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance
by the other in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either party
hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may
be) of any Rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take
any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express
waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.

31.7 Terms and Headings. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the
plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The Article and
Section headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the
construction or interpretation of any part hereof. Any deletion of language from this Lease prior
to its execution by Landlord and Tenant shall not be construed to raise any presumption, canon of
construction or implication, including, without limitation, any implication that the parties
intended thereby to state the converse of the deleted language. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that each has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease; therefore, in the
event of an ambiguity in, or dispute regarding the interpretation of, this Lease, the
interpretation of this Lease shall not be resolved by any rule of interpretation providing for
interpretation against the party who caused the uncertainty to exist or against the draftsman.

31.8 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to performance of every provision of this
Lease in which time or performance is a factor.

31.9 Business Day. A “business day” is Monday through Friday, excluding holidays observed by
the United States Postal Service and reference to 5:00 p.m. is to the time zone of the recipient.
Whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under
this Lease during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a
non-business day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the immediately following
business day.

31.10 Payments and Notices. All Rent and other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder
shall be paid to Landlord at the address designated in the Summary, or to such other persons and/or
at such other places as Landlord may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice required or
permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery (including
delivery by nationally recognized overnight courier or express mailing service), or by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to Tenant at the
address(es) designated in the Summary, or to Landlord at the address(es) designated in the Summary.
Either party may, by written notice to the other, specify a different address for notice purposes.
Notice given in the foregoing manner shall be deemed given (i) when actually received or refused
by the party to whom sent if delivered by a carrier or personally served or (ii) if mailed, on the
day of actual delivery or refusal as shown by the certified mail return receipt or the expiration of three (3) business days after the day of
mailing, whichever first occurs.

31.11 Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease, including the Summary and all Exhibits
attached hereto, contains all of the covenants, provisions, agreements, conditions and
understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and any other matter covered or
mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding, oral or written, express or
implied, pertaining to the Premises or any such other matter shall be effective for any purpose.
No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by
the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. The parties acknowledge that all
prior agreements, representations and negotiations are deemed superseded by the execution of this
Lease to the extent they are not expressly incorporated herein.

 

-35-

 

31.12 Separability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Lease shall
in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such other provisions shall
remain valid and in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

31.13 Recording. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease or a short form
memorandum of this Lease.

31.14 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than the Rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment
as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy
provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be
applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by any
statute or at common law.

31.15 Financial Statements. Upon ten (10) days prior written request from Landlord (which
Landlord may make at any time during the Term but no more often that two (2) times in any calendar
year), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (a) a current financial statement of Tenant and any
guarantor of this Lease, and (b) financial statements of Tenant and such guarantor for the two (2)
years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in
accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles and certified as true in all material
respects by Tenant (if Tenant is an individual) or by an authorized officer, member/manager or
general partner of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership,
respectively). If Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, Tenant may satisfy its obligations
hereunder by providing to Landlord Tenant’s most recent annual and quarterly reports.

31.16 No Partnership. Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of
Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint venturer or a member of a joint
enterprise with Tenant by reason of this Lease.

31.17 Force Majeure. If either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from
the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles,
inability to procure materials, failure of power, governmental moratorium or other governmental
action or inaction (including, without limitation, failure, refusal or delay in issuing permits,
approvals and/or authorizations), injunction or court order, riots, insurrection, war, terrorism,
bioterrorism, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster or other reason of a like nature
not the fault of the party delaying in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of
this Lease (but excluding delays due to financial inability) (herein collectively, “Force Majeure
Delays”), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period
for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such
delay. The provisions of this Section 31.17 shall not apply to nor operate to excuse Tenant from
the payment of Monthly Base Rent, or any Additional Rent or any other payments strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Lease and shall not apply to either the Landlord or the Tenant’s
right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 17 above.

31.18 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement.

31.19 Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of this
Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms
could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord’s
relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, each agrees that it, and its partners, officers,
directors, employees, agents and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the
terms and conditions of this Lease to any newspaper or other publication or any other tenant or
apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Property, or real estate agent,
either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the other party, provided,
however, that Tenant may disclose the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this
Lease, its real estate broker, attorneys and accountants, and Tenant may include Lease provisions
in its public filings if required by state or federal laws, as determined in accordance with
applicable state or Federal laws or the rules and regulations of any state or Federal securities
regulators.

31.20 Tenant’s Authority. Tenant represents and warrants that: (a) Tenant is a duly organized
and existing partnership, corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, and is
qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located; (b) such persons and/or
entities executing this Lease are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on Tenant’s
behalf; and (c) this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant shall
provide to Landlord a copy of any documents reasonably requested by Landlord evidencing such
qualification, organization, existence and authorization within ten (10) business days of
Landlord’s request. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant is not, and the entities
or individuals constituting Tenant or which may own or control Tenant or which may be owned or
controlled by Tenant are not, (i) in violation of any Laws relating to terrorism or money
laundering, or (ii) among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to
Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current
list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official
website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement
official publication of such list.

31.21 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as
Tenant: (a) each of them is and shall be jointly and severally liable for the covenants,
conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant;
and (b) the act or signature of, or notice from or to, any one or more of them with respect to this
Lease shall be binding upon each and all of the persons and entities executing this Lease as Tenant
with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or signed, or given or
received such notice.

31.22 No Option. The submission of this Lease for examination or execution by Tenant does not
constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises and this Lease shall not become effective as
a Lease until it has been executed by Landlord and delivered to Tenant.

31.23 Options and Rights in General. Any option (each an “Option” and collectively, the
"Options”), including without limitation, any option to extend, option to terminate, option to
expand, right to lease, right of first offer, and/or right of first refusal, granted to Tenant is
personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease or a Permitted Transferee and may be exercised
only by the original Tenant executing this Lease while occupying not less than ninety percent (90%)
of the Premises and without the intent of thereafter assigning this Lease or subletting the
Premises or a Permitted Transferee and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the original Tenant executing this Lease or a
Permitted Transferee. The Options, if any, granted to Tenant under this Lease are not assignable
separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner,
either by reservation or otherwise. Tenant will have no right to exercise any Option,
notwithstanding any provision of the grant of option to the contrary, and Tenant’s exercise of any
Option may be nullified by Landlord and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Tenant is in
Default under the terms of this Lease as of Tenant’s exercise of the Option in question or at any
time after the exercise of any such Option and prior to the commencement of the Option event, (ii)
Tenant has sublet all or more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises except pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer, or (iii) Landlord has given Tenant two (2) or more notices of default, whether
or not such defaults are subsequently cured, during any twelve (12) consecutive month period of
this Lease. Each Option granted to Tenant, if any, is hereby deemed an economic term which
Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may or may not offer in conjunction with any future
extensions of the Term.

31.24 Bankruptcy. If at any time during the Term there is a Bankruptcy Event, the following
provisions shall apply:

a. Any receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors (“assignee”), trustee of any kind, or
Tenant as debtor-in-possession (“debtor”) shall either expressly assume or reject this Lease within
sixty (60) days following the assignment to the assignee or the filing of the pleading initiating
the receivership or bankruptcy case. All such parties agree that they will not seek court
permission to extend such time for assumption or rejection. Failure to assume or reject in the
time set forth herein shall mean that this Lease may be terminated at Landlord’s option. Rejection
of this Lease shall be a default under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary, if this Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy action or proceeding filed by or
against Tenant, and the effective date of rejection is on or after the date upon which that month’s
Base Rent and Additional Rent is due and owing, then the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent
owing under this Lease for the month during which the effective date of such rejection occurs shall
be due and payable in full and shall not be prorated.

 

-37-

 

b. If this Lease is assumed by a debtor, receiver, assignee or trustee, such party shall
immediately after such assumption (1) cure any default or provide adequate assurances that defaults
will be promptly cured; (2) pay Landlord for actual pecuniary loss or provide adequate assurances
that compensation will be made for such loss; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future
performance.

c. Where a default exists under this Lease, the party assuming this Lease may not require
Landlord to provide services or supplies incidental to this Lease before its assumption by such
trustee or debtor, unless Landlord is compensated under the terms of this Lease for such services
and supplies provided before the assumption of this Lease.

d. Landlord reserves all remedies available to Landlord in Article 23 or at law or in equity
in respect of a Bankruptcy Event by Tenant, to the extent such remedies are permitted by applicable
Laws.

For the purposes of this Section 31.24, the term “Bankruptcy Event” means (a) a court filing by or
against Tenant, of pleadings to initiate a bankruptcy petition of any kind, or the appointment of a
receiver or trustee of any or all of Tenant’s assets; (b) a receiver or trustee taking possession
of any of the assets of Tenant, or if the leasehold interest herein passes to a receiver or
trustee; or (c) Tenant making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitioning for or
entering into an arrangement with creditors during the Term.

31.25 Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other on any matters
whatsoever arising out of this Lease, or any other claims.

31.26 Waiver of Consequential Damages. In no event will either party be liable to the other
party or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages, including, without
limitation, lost profits, except however, in the event of an unauthorized holdover by Tenant in
which event Tenant may be held liable for consequential damages suffered by Landlord.

31.27 Light, Air and View. No diminution of light, air or view by any structure, whether or
not erected by Landlord, shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent, result in any liability of
Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

31.28 No Offer. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR EXAMINATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER
TO LEASE, OR A RESERVATION OF, OR OPTION FOR, THE PREMISES. THIS DOCUMENT BECOMES EFFECTIVE AND
BINDING ONLY UPON THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF BY THE PROPER REPRESENTATIVE OF LANDLORD AND BY
TENANT. UNTIL SUCH TIME AS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE, EITHER PARTY IS FREE TO TERMINATE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH NO OBLIGATION TO THE OTHER.

31.29 Removal of Cabling. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of installation and
maintenance of any high speed cable or fiber optic that Tenant requires in the Premises. Landlord shall provide reasonable access to the Building’s electrical lines,
feeders, risers, wiring and other machinery to enable Tenant to install high speed cable or fiber
optic to serve its intended purpose, if any. All such cabling installed shall be tagged by Tenant
at their point of entry into the Building, at the terminal end of the cable and in the riser closet
indicating the type of cable, the Tenant’s name and the service provided. Tenant shall be
responsible for the removal of such cabling and fiber optic at the termination or expiration of the
Term or the early termination of the Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises. Failure to remove any
abandoned or unused cabling within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Term
or the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises will be deemed to be a holdover
under Article 21.2 of the Lease. In the event Tenant fails to remove such cabling as set forth
herein, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, remove such cabling, all at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense.

 

-38-

 

31.30 Inducement Recapture in Event of Default. Any agreement by Landlord for free or abated
rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the giving or paying by Landlord to or for
Tenant of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Tenant’s entering into this
Lease, including, but not limited to, any tenant finish allowance, free rent or free parking, all
of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as “Inducement Provisions” shall be deemed
conditioned upon Tenant’s full and faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant during the term hereof as the same
may be extended. Upon the occurrence of an uncured Default (as defined in Section 22) of this
Lease by Tenant, (a) any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this
Lease and of no further force or effect, and (b) the unamortized portion of any rent, other charge,
bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Landlord under such an
Inducement Provision, shall be calculated into the damages to be sought by Landlord under Article
22 herein. To the extent any amounts provided in this subsection are owing from Tenant to
Landlord, they shall be pro rated over the then remaining Term, shall be immediately due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord, and recoverable by Landlord, as additional rent due under this
Lease. The acceptance by Landlord of rent or the cure of the event of default after any applicable
cure period which initiated the operation of this Section 31.30 shall not be deemed a waiver by
Landlord of the provisions of this Section 31.30 unless specifically so stated in writing by
Landlord at the time of such acceptance.

31.31 Patriot Act Certification. Landlord and Tenant certify that neither it, nor any of its
constituent partners, managers, members or shareholders, nor any beneficial owner of Tenant or any
such partner, manager, member or shareholder, nor any other representative or affiliate of it is a
“Prohibited Person,” defined as (a) a person, entity or nation named as a terrorist, “Specially
Designated National or Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked person pursuant to any law,
order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office
of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), including, but not limited to, 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”); (b) a person, entity or nation owned or
controlled by, or acting on behalf of, any person, entity or nation named as a terrorist,
“Specially Designated National or Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked person pursuant to
any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by OFAC, including, but not
limited to, the Executive Order and the Patriot Act; (c) a person, entity or nation engaged
directly or indirectly in any activity prohibited by any law, order, rule or regulation that is
enforced or administered by OFAC, including, but not limited to, the Executive Order and the
Patriot Act; (d) a person, entity or nation with whom the Landlord is prohibited from dealing or
otherwise engaging in any transaction pursuant to any terrorism or money laundering law, including,
but not limited to, the Executive Order and the Patriot Act; (e) a person, entity or nation that
has been convicted, pleaded nolo contendere, indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges
involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering; or (f) a person, entity or
nation who is affiliated with any person, entity or nation who is described above in subsections
(a) through (e) above. Each party agrees to indemnify and save the other, it’s managing agent and
mortgagee harmless against and from any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities and
expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from or related to any breach of the
foregoing certification.

ARTICLE 32 — OPTION TO RENEW

32.1 Renewal Options. Provided that Tenant is not in Default at the time of the exercise of
the Renewal Option or at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term (as defined herein) and
provided that Tenant or a Permitted Transferee has continuously occupied a minimum of fifty percent
(50%) of the Premises for the Permitted Use during the Term and the first Renewal Term, if
applicable, Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (but not any other unrelated third party, assignee or
sublessee) shall have the right and option (the “Renewal Option”) to renew the Lease for all or a
portion of the Premises as then configured, but in any event not less than 60,000 rentable square
feet as then configured, for two (2) separate, additional either five (5) or seven (7) year periods
at the election of Tenant (each a “Renewal Term”), by written notice (“Renewal Notice”) delivered
to Landlord, which notice shall specify the intended length of the applicable Renewal Term), no
earlier than fifteen (15) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of
the Term, or first Renewal Term, as the case may be, under the same terms, conditions and covenants
contained in this Lease, except that: (a) no abatements or other concessions, if any, applicable to
the initial Term or the first Renewal Term, if applicable shall apply to the Renewal Term; (b) the
Monthly Base Rent, tenant improvements and other leasing concessions shall be equal to the
transaction terms for comparable office space of comparable age, type, size and quality being
offered in the central business district of Denver, Colorado as of the end of the Term, or first
Renewal Term, if applicable, as determined by Landlord and Tenant as set forth hereafter (“Market
Rate”); (c) Tenant shall have no Renewal Option beyond the expiration of the final Renewal Term;
(d) all leasehold improvements within the Premises shall be provided in their then existing
condition (on an “as is” basis) at the time the applicable Renewal Term commences; and (e) monthly
parking charges will reflect the then market rate effective at the time of the commencement of the
applicable Renewal Term. In the event Tenant properly exercises its Renewal Option and renews the
Lease for a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the originally leased Premises, then Tenant shall
retain all signage rights as described in and subject to the provisions of Article 12.2 of the
Lease. Failure by Tenant to provide the applicable Renewal Notice within the time limits set forth
herein shall constitute a waiver of such Renewal Option. Failure to exercise the first Renewal
Option shall automatically render the second Renewal Option null and void.

32.2 Landlord’s Determination of Market Rate. In the event Tenant delivers a Renewal Notice
as set forth above, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable Renewal
Notice, notify Tenant in writing of the proposed Market Rate for the applicable Renewal Term (the
“Proposed Renewal Rental”). Tenant shall within thirty (30) days following delivery of the
Proposed Renewal Rental by Landlord notify Landlord in writing of the acceptance or rejection of
the Proposed Renewal Rental. If Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposal, then the Proposed Renewal
Rental shall be the rental rate in effect during the applicable Renewal Term. Failure of Tenant to
respond in writing during the aforementioned thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a rejection by
Tenant of the Proposed Renewal Rental. Should Tenant reject Landlord’s Proposed Renewal Rental
during such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate during the thirty (30)
day period commencing upon Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s Proposed Renewal Rental to determine
the Market Rate for the Renewal Term.

32.3 Market Rate Appraisal. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s designation of the Proposed
Renewal Rental, but the parties cannot agree upon the Market Rate by the date that is thirty (30)
days following Landlord’s Proposed Renewal Rental notice, then the Market Rate shall be submitted
to appraisal as follows: Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period, Landlord and Tenant shall each give notice to the other specifying the name and address of
the Broker each has chosen and the Proposed Renewal Rental each has selected. The two (2) Brokers
so chosen shall meet within ten (10) business days after the second Broker is appointed and if,
within twenty (20) days after the second Broker is appointed, the two (2) Brokers shall not agree
upon a determination of the Market Rate in accordance with the following provisions they shall
together appoint a third Broker. If only one Broker shall be chosen whose name and address shall
have been given to the other party within such fifteen (15) day period and who shall have the
qualifications hereinafter set forth, that sole Broker shall render the decision which would
otherwise have been made as hereinabove provided.

32.4 Appointment of Broker. If said two (2) Brokers cannot agree upon the appointment of a
third Broker within ten (10) business days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request
such appointment by the then President of the Denver Metro Commercial Association of REALTORS in
accordance with its then prevailing rules. If said President shall fail to appoint said third
Broker within ten (10) business days after such request is made, then either party, on behalf of
both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the American Arbitration
Association (or any successor organization) in accordance with its then prevailing rules.

32.5 Broker Qualifications. Each of the Brokers selected as herein provided shall be a
qualified real estate broker and have at least ten (10) years experience as a commercial real
estate broker in the central business district of Denver, Colorado dealing with properties of the
same type and quality as the Premises (“Broker”). Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of
the Broker it has selected and the fees of its own counsel. Each party shall pay one half (1/2) of
the fees and expenses of the third Broker (or the sole Broker, if applicable) and all other
expenses of the appraisal. The decision and award of the Broker(s) shall be in writing and shall
be final and conclusive on all parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to both
Landlord and Tenant. Judgment upon the award of the Broker(s) may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction.

 

-40-

 

32.6 Determination of Market Rate by Brokers. Both Brokers (or the third Broker, if chosen by
the two Brokers) shall determine the Market Rate of the Premises for the applicable period as of
the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term by selecting either of the two Proposed Renewal
Rental amounts proposed by each of Landlord and Tenant, and render a decision and award as to their
determination to both Landlord and Tenant (a) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the
second Broker, (b) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third Broker or (c) within
fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the sole Broker, as the case may be. In rendering such
decision and award, the Broker(s) shall assume: (i) that the Premises are available in the then
rental market, (ii) that Landlord has had a reasonable time to locate a tenant, (iii) that neither
Landlord nor the prospective tenant is under a compulsion to rent, (iv) that Landlord and tenant
are typically motivated, well-informed and well-advised, and each is acting in what it considers
its own best interest, (v) the Premises contain no work that has been carried out thereon by
Tenant, its subtenant(s), or its or their successors-in-interest during the Term or first Renewal
Term, if applicable, which has diminished the rental value of the Premises, and (vi) that in the
event the Premises are destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the commencement of
the applicable Renewal Term, they have been fully restored. The Brokers shall also take into
consideration any increases or possible increases in rent then being included in leases for
comparable office space in the central business district of Denver, Colorado based on changes in
price indices, cost of living or other similar increases, or periodic market rental adjustments.
In rendering such decision and award, the Broker(s) shall consider the market fixed annual rents
then being charged for comparable office space in comparable office buildings in the central
business district of Denver, Colorado, but shall not modify the provisions of this Lease.

32.7 Continuing Obligation to Pay Rent. If the dispute between the parties as to the Market
Rate has not been resolved before the commencement of Tenant’s obligation to pay the Monthly Base
Rent based upon determination of such Market Rate, then Tenant shall pay the Monthly Base Rent
under the Lease based upon the Market Rate designated by Landlord in the notice of Proposed Renewal
Rental until either the agreement of the parties as to the Market Rate, or the decision of the
Broker(s), as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of the Monthly Base
Rent to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of the Monthly Base Rent to Tenant.

32.8 Waiver of Right to Evidentiary Hearing. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the right to an
evidentiary hearing before the Broker(s) and agree that the appraisal shall not be an arbitration
nor be subject to state or federal law relating to arbitrations.

32.9 Lease Amendment and Revocation of Renewal Rights. Upon exercise of the Renewal Option by
Tenant and subject to the conditions set forth hereinabove, the Lease shall be extended for the
period of such applicable Renewal Term without the necessity of the execution of any further
instrument or document, although if requested by either party, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into
a written agreement modifying and supplementing the Lease in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Any termination of the Lease during the Term or first Renewal Term, if applicable, shall
automatically terminate the Renewal Option. The Renewal Option is not severable from the Lease, nor may such rights be assigned or otherwise conveyed
in connection with any permitted assignment of the Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of
the Lease shall not be construed as allowing an assignment of such rights to any assignee.

ARTICLE 33 — FITNESS CENTER

Provided that no uncured Default exists, during the initial twelve (12) months of the Term,
Landlord shall bear the initiation fee and monthly dues for no more than twenty-five (25)
memberships to the Forza Fitness & Performance Center for designated employees of Tenant.

 

-41-

 

ARTICLE 34 — RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

As long as Tenant is not in Default under the Lease, or any amendments thereto, and subject to
any extension, expansion, option or modification rights currently in existence to other tenants of
Landlord in the Building prior to the date of this Lease (a list of such rights is attached hereto
as Exhibit H), before offering to lease, during the Term, space in the Building which is contiguous
to space then directly leased by Tenant (collectively, the “Offer Space”), Landlord will notify
Tenant in writing of the availability of the particular Offer Space, the monthly rent (taking into
account current leasing inducements, leasing concessions, and tenant improvement allowances),
square footage of the Offer Space, the term for such Offer Space (which shall be coterminous with
the Term for the Premises), and rental increases (“Rental Terms”) on which it would be willing to
lease the particular Offer Space in the Building to Tenant and shall provide to Tenant a form of
lease agreement or amendment acceptable to Landlord therefor (“Right of First Offer to Lease”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Tenant exercises the Right of First Offer to Lease
during the last three (3) years of the Term, the Offer Space shall be let to Tenant for the term
which is contained in the Rental Terms. If within seven (7) business days after Tenant’s receipt
of Landlord’s written notice hereunder, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intent to lease
all of the Offer Space in the Right of First Offer to Lease on the proposed Rental Terms, then
Landlord and Tenant shall execute the lease agreement or amendment for all of the Offer Space
within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to lease.
If Tenant does not deliver its notice of intent to lease all of the particular Offer Space within
such seven (7) business day period, or if Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a fully executed
lease agreement or amendment for all of the Offer Space within such fifteen (15) day period, then
the Right of First Offer to Lease for that particular Offer Space will lapse for a period of nine
(9) months and Landlord will have the right to lease for such nine (9) month period all or any
portion of the particular Offer Space to a third party on the same or any other terms and
conditions, irrespective of whether such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than the
Rental Terms. If Landlord does not consummate a lease for the particular Offer Space within such
nine (9) month period, the provisions of this Article 34 shall again apply to the particular Offer
Space. This Right of First Offer to Lease is personal to Tenant and is not assignable or
transferable except to a Permitted Transferee. The exercise by Tenant of its rights under this
Article 34 shall not be construed in any way as granting Tenant the right to vacate the Premises or
to terminate the Lease of the Premises unless agreed to by Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion. Pursuant to the terms of an existing lease with Petro-Canada Resources (USA) Inc.
(“Petro-Canada”), Landlord has the right to recapture all or any portion of the Petro-Canada
premises (“Petro-Canada Premises”) after a request by Petro-Canada for Landlord’s approval of a
sublease or assignment. During the Term hereof and provided no Default then exists, Landlord
agrees to provide Tenant with written notice should Petro-Canada request the consent of Landlord to
a sublease or assignment of all or any portion of the Petro-Canada Premises (“Right of Recapture”).
Within four (4) business days of such written notice, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of
its desire to compel Landlord to exercise the Right of Recapture for the benefit of Tenant. Should
Tenant timely exercise its rights to compel Landlord to exercise the Right of Recapture, the
Petro-Canada Premises shall thereafter become a part of the Premises hereunder with Rent for the
Petro-Canada Premises to be at the then rate reflected in the Petro-Canada lease for a term set to
commence upon the date of recapture by Landlord and expiring on the expiration date of the
Petro-Canada lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall have no Right to
Recapture by virtue of that certain Assignment of Lease Agreement currently dated June 8, 2010, by
and between Petro Canada and Noble Energy, Inc.

ARTICLE 35 — RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Provided that no uncured Default exists on the date Tenant exercises its First Refusal Right
(as defined herein) or upon the commencement of the lease term for the ROFR Space (as defined
herein), and provided that Tenant is then occupying at least ninety percent (90%) of the originally
leased Premises for the permitted use, if during the Term of this Lease, any space in the Building
which is contiguous to space then leased by Tenant becomes available for lease, which shall exclude
space subject to rights or expansion options granted to other tenants prior to the execution hereof
and renewals of existing leases as set forth on Exhibit H (hereinafter the “ROFR Space”), then
prior to leasing the ROFR Space to any third party, Landlord shall offer to lease such space to
Tenant upon the terms and conditions as proposed by such third party and acceptable to Landlord as
evidenced by a signed letter of intent between Landlord and said third party (the “First Refusal
Right”), provided, however, if Tenant exercises the First Refusal Right other than during the last
three (3) years of the Term hereunder, the term for the ROFR Space shall be coterminous with the
remainder of the Term for the Premises. The term for the ROFR Space if Tenant exercises the First
Refusal Right during the last three (3) years of the Term shall be as set forth in the signed
letter of intent. Tenant shall have a period of seven (7) business days after receipt of
Landlord’s notice in which to accept the Landlord’s offer. If Tenant does not timely exercise its rights with respect to the ROFR Space specified in Landlord’s notice, Landlord may lease the ROFR
Space to such third party on substantially the same terms offered to Tenant, and shall have the
right to continue to do so for the next ensuing nine (9) months without again complying with the
provisions of this paragraph or affording Tenant the right to exercise the First Refusal Right with
respect to the ROFR Space specified in Landlord’s notice, unless, however, the financial terms of
the agreement with the third party differ by more than ten percent (10%), in which event Landlord
shall again comply with the notice requirements of this Article 35. If Tenant elects to exercise
the offer, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the
terms of the ROFR Space, which amendment will be executed and delivered promptly after Tenant
exercises the First Refusal Right, provided, however, Tenant may make modifications to the space
plan for the ROFR Space to accommodate the needs of Tenant provided such modifications shall not
increase the cost to Landlord for any tenant improvements set forth in the signed letter of intent.
Tenant’s First Refusal Right shall be available only if, as of the date of Landlord’s notice of
offer, Tenant (i) shall not be in material Default under the Lease beyond the applicable period for
notice and cure; (ii) shall not have sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises nor
assigned its interest in the Lease in either event to any unrelated third party nor abandoned the
Premises. Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, the Monthly Base Rent applicable
during the Lease term shall be at the rate set forth in a bona fide letter of intent executed
between Landlord and the third party interested in leasing the ROFR Space, for a lease term
scheduled to commence when the ROFR Space will be added to the Premises. Tenant must take all of
the ROFR Space offered and may not elect to lease only a part thereof.

ARTICLE 36 — EARLY TERMINATION

Tenant shall have a one time right to terminate this Lease (“Early Termination Right”)
effective at midnight, Mountain Time, on the last day of the seventy-second (72) month of paid Rent
(“Early Termination Date”), provided (i) Tenant is not then in Default beyond the applicable period
for notice and cure of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of the
Lease, or any amendments thereto; (ii) Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of its
election to so terminate on or before the last day of the sixty-third (63rd) month of
paid Rent (“Termination Notice”), which termination shall be effective on the Early Termination
Date if notice is so timely given; and (iii) within the time frame set forth below, Tenant delivers
the Termination Fee (described below) in cash or certified funds to Landlord. If Tenant meets the
conditions described above and elects to exercise its Early Termination Right, the term of the
Lease shall expire and come to an end on the Early Termination Date and Tenant shall surrender the
entirety of Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease. Failure of the Tenant to
give timely notice of its election to terminate this Lease or to pay the Termination Fee as set
forth herein shall operate as a waiver of the termination right and this Lease shall continue to be
fully enforceable. As consideration for Tenant’s exercise of the Early Termination Right, Tenant
shall pay a termination fee (“Termination Fee”) to Landlord equal to the prorated sum of all
transaction costs, including the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Space Plan Allowance, broker’s
commissions and legal fees, plus an amount equal to two (2) times the then Monthly Base Rent for
the Premises. Upon written request from Tenant at any time after 120 days after the execution of the Lease, Landlord shall provide the above amount to Tenant.
Landlord shall again certify such upon receipt of written request from Tenant at any time after the
sixtieth (60) month of paid Rent. Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee upon
delivery of the Termination Notice and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee at
least thirty (30) days prior to the Early Termination Date. The Tenant’s obligation to pay the
Termination Fee set forth above, as well as other amounts due and owing under the Lease, and any
amendments thereto, shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease or the early
termination of Tenant’s right to possession under the Lease. On or prior to the Early Termination
Date, Tenant will surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease, as if the Early Termination Date were the expiration date of the Lease.
Upon the Early Termination Date, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their obligations
under the Lease, except those accruing prior to the Early Termination Date which expressly survive
the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. The Early Termination Right of the Tenant set
forth herein shall apply to any additional space added to the Premises from and after the date
hereof. The Early Termination Right of the Tenant set forth herein is personal to the named Tenant
herein and its Permitted Transferees and is not transferable to any other permitted assignee or
subtenant.

ARTICLE 37 — AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

Subject to any changes in the ADA, Tenant agrees to comply with all requirements of the
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336 {July 26, 1990}) (“ADA”)
applicable to the Premises and the Building to accommodate its employees, invitees and customers.
Tenant acknowledges that it shall be wholly responsible for any accommodations or alterations which
need to be made to the Premises. No provision in this Lease should be construed in any manner as
permitting, consenting to or authorizing Tenant to violate requirements under the ADA in the
Premises and any provision to the Lease which could arguably be construed as authorizing a
violation of the ADA shall be interpreted in a manner which permits compliance with the ADA and is
hereby amended to permit such compliance. Landlord represents and warrants based on its actual
knowledge that as of the date of execution hereof, the Building, Common Areas, and the Premises
(other than the Tenant Improvements) are in compliance with the ADA, as amended, and any other
similar federal, state or local accommodation laws, and that Landlord shall maintain the Property,
Building (excluding the Premises) and the Common Areas in accordance therewith throughout the Term
as it may be extended hereafter.

ARTICLE 38 — ROOF RIGHTS

38.1 Satellite Dishes. Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a proposal by Tenant to install, maintain
and replace from time to time no more than two (2) mast mounted satellite dishes, microwave dishes,
or similar antennae device and its related equipment, in locations designated by Landlord, the
height and width of such devices to be reasonably acceptable to Landlord (hereinafter, the
“Satellite Dishes”) on the roof of the Building, subject to the following: (a) applicable
governmental laws; (b) the right of Landlord to supervise any roof penetrations; (c) Landlord’s
approval of the plans and specifications for the Satellite Dishes and all connecting cables from
the roof of the Building to the Premises; (d) compliance with the conditions of any roof bond
maintained by Landlord on the Premises; (e) the Satellite Dishes not being visible at street level;
and (f) the Satellite Dishes not interfering with any then existing satellite dishes or other
antenna on the roof of the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for the repair of any damage to
any portion of the Building caused by Tenant’s installation, use or removal of the Satellite
Dishes. The Satellite Dishes shall remain the exclusive property of Tenant, and Tenant shall have
the right to remove same at any time during the Term of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in
Default under the Lease. Tenant shall remove the Satellite Dishes at the expiration of the Lease
Term or earlier termination of the Lease or upon the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy
the Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If, after the Satellite Dishes are installed, the
Landlord, using reasonable business judgment, believes that the systems operation or infrastructure
of the Building is negatively affected, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days from the
receipt of Landlord’s notice, correct the issue or remove the Satellite Dishes, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense. Furthermore, if after the Satellite Dishes are installed, the Landlord, using
reasonable business judgment, believes that the aesthetic quality of the Building is negatively
affected, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days from the receipt of Landlord’s notice requiring installation of a screen or relocation of the Satellite Dishes, install screening
around the Satellite Dishes or remove and reinstall the Satellite Dishes to a more beneficial
location designated by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall not use the
Satellite Dishes to provide any services to the public at a profit and shall only be entitled to
use the Satellite Dishes for its own internal use. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses
of every kind and nature (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising out of Tenant’s installation, maintenance, use or
removal of the Satellite Dishes. In the event Tenant installs more than two (2) Satellite Dishes
with the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the sum of One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per diameter foot of each additional Satellite Dish per month per
satellite dish (the “Satellite Rent”). Landlord and Tenant also acknowledge and agree that
Tenant shall pay the Satellite Rent to Landlord in the same manner as Rent is paid under the Lease.

38.2 Cooling Units. Landlord agrees to permit Tenant to install pursuant to the Approved
Plans and Specifications set forth therein, at Tenant’s sole expense, certain cooling units
(“Cooling Units”) in locations on the roof of the Building identified by Tenant and reasonably
approved by Landlord for the purpose of providing cooling needs for the server room and data rooms
contained within the Premises subject to the following: (a) applicable governmental laws; (b) the
right of Landlord to supervise any roof penetrations; (c) Landlord’s approval of the plans and
specifications for the Cooling Units and all connecting cables from the roof of the Building to the
Premises; (d) compliance with the conditions of any roof bond maintained by Landlord on the
Premises; and (e) the Cooling Units not being visible at street level. Tenant shall represent and
warrant that the Cooling Units will be in good working condition at the time of installation and
shall meet the specifications in plans submitted by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord
(“Approved Plans and Specifications”). Tenant will contract directly with a contractor, selected
by Tenant in its reasonable discretion, for routine maintenance of the Cooling Units, the entire
cost of which shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for the repair of any damage
to any portion of the Building caused by Tenant’s installation, use or removal of the Cooling
Units. The Cooling Units shall remain the exclusive property of Tenant, and Tenant shall have the
right to remove same at any time during the Term of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in Default
under the Lease. Tenant shall remove the Cooling Units at the expiration of the Lease Term or
earlier termination of the Lease or upon the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the
Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant fails to remove the Cooling Units
as set forth herein, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, remove the Cooling Units, all at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses of every kind and
nature (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against Landlord arising out of Tenant’s installation, maintenance, use or removal of the
Cooling Units.

ARTICLE 39 — STORAGE SPACE

At Landlord’s sole discretion and subject to availability and in connection with the leasing
of the Premises, Tenant shall be permitted to utilize on-site Building storage facilities of no
less than 150 square feet (“Storage Space”) on a month-to-month basis at a charge of Ten Dollars
($10.00) per square foot per month, inclusive of all expenses, through the Term. Tenant’s right to
use the Storage Space will commence ten (10) days after Landlord and Tenant agree upon the size and
location of the Storage Space (unless a longer period is required by Landlord to regain occupancy
of such Storage Space from the then occupant) and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
expiration or termination of the Term or the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the
Premises, or (ii) thirty (30) days after written notice by either Landlord or Tenant to the other
party. Tenant will use the Storage Space only for the storage of merchandise, furniture,
equipment, files and supplies. Tenant will use the Storage Space in a careful, safe and proper
manner. Tenant agrees not to bring in or permit the placing within the Storage Space of property
in excess of a reasonable weight and agrees to be fully liable for any damages or losses sustained
by Landlord as a result of any overloading by Tenant. Tenant will pay Landlord on demand for any
damage to the Storage Space caused by misuse or abuse by Tenant, its agent or employees, or any
other person entering the Storage Space under express or implied invitation of Tenant. Tenant will
not utilize or permit the Storage Space to be used for any purposes prohibited by any applicable
Laws, rules, or regulations. Tenant will not commit waste nor permit waste to be committed nor permit any nuisance in the Storage Space. Landlord agrees,
without extra charge, during the period Tenant occupies the Storage Space, to furnish and provide
such electric lighting service and such ingress and egress to and from the Storage Space during
ordinary business hours as may, at the judgment of Landlord, be reasonably required for the use and
occupancy of the Storage Space pursuant to the terms hereof. Tenant agrees that Landlord will not
be liable for failure to provide such lighting service or ingress and egress during any period when
Landlord uses reasonable diligence to supply them. Landlord reserves the right temporarily to
discontinue electric service, or ingress or egress, at such times as may be necessary when Landlord
is unable to provide them by reason of accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations
or improvements, or whenever by reason of strikes, walkouts, riots, acts of God, or any other
happening beyond the control of Landlord. Landlord will be under no obligation to furnish heating
or air conditioning service to the Storage Space. Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord will
have the right to enter the Storage Space to examine and inspect it and require the removal of any
object or material Landlord deems hazardous to the safety or operation of the Building. Tenant
agrees that all property of Tenant kept or stored in the Storage Space will be so kept or stored at
the sole risk of Tenant. Tenant agrees that Landlord will not be liable for any injury or damage
to such property or for any injury to any person(s) arising from or related in any way to Tenant’s
use or occupancy of the Storage Space. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any and all claims, losses or damages which may be asserted against or incurred by
Landlord (including reasonable attorney fees and costs), which arise from or are related in any way
to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Storage Space. Taking possession of the Storage Space by
Tenant will be conclusive evidence that the Storage Space was in the condition agreed upon between
Landlord and Tenant, and shall serve as acknowledgment by Tenant that it accepts the Storage Space
in its then “as-is” condition, without any further improvement by Landlord. Landlord reserves the
right to relocate the Storage Space to substantially comparable space in the storage area of the
Building. Landlord will give Tenant written notice of its intention to relocate the Storage Space,
and Tenant will complete a relocation within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice. Tenant
will not have the right to independently sublease the Storage Space or assign this Storage Space
Lease.

WORK LETTER

This Work Letter (“Work Letter”) is being entered into as of June 17, 2010, between LBA
REALTY FUND III — COMPANY III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, hereinafter referred to
as “Landlord”, and HEALTH GRADES, INC., a Delaware corporation, hereinafter referred to as
“Tenant”, in connection with the execution of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant of even date
herewith, who hereby agree as follows:

1. Tenant Improvement Allowance. The tenant improvement allowance is defined to
mean the maximum amount to be expended by Landlord, if any, for the cost of Tenant Improvements,
which maximum shall not exceed [*], calculated as [*] per rentable square foot of the Premises
(“Tenant Improvement Allowance”).

2. Plans and Specifications. A space plan and construction drawings for the Tenant
Improvements shall be prepared by Tenant using Burkett Design acting as Tenant’s agent (“Tenant’s
Architect”). A copy of the most current space plan dated May 12, 2010, is attached hereto as
Exhibit C-1 (“Preliminary Space Plan”). Landlord has approved the use of Tenant’s Architect. In
connection with the space plan, Landlord has agreed to pay such space planner for the cost of one
“test fit” and revisions, in a total amount not to exceed the sum of Twelve Thousand One Hundred
Fifty-Eight Dollars and 16/100 ($12,158.16) (calculated as $0.14 per rentable square foot of the
Premises). The space plan may be presented and approved prior to or simultaneously with the
construction drawings. Upon receipt of the proposed space plan and/or construction drawings,
Landlord shall either (a) approve them within five (5) business days after such receipt in which
case such proposed space plan and/or construction drawings shall be deemed the “Plans and
Specifications,” under this Lease or (b) if Landlord disapproves the space plan and/or construction
drawings, it shall provide Tenant with notice of disapproval together with its specific objections
within such five (5) business day period. If Landlord disapproves any portion of the proposed
space plan and/or construction drawings in accordance with the previous sentence, then Landlord and
Tenant shall use good faith efforts to reach mutually acceptable Plans and Specifications. Failure
of the Landlord to timely respond to such request for consent shall be deemed to be the approval of
Landlord.

3. Construction of Tenant Improvements. Ninety (90) days prior to the Commencement Date,
Landlord will deliver possession to Tenant of the Premises for construction of the Tenant
Improvements as provided herein in its current “as is” and “where is” condition. Delivery of the
Premises to Tenant by Landlord shall be with all structural systems, roof systems, plumbing
systems, window systems, window coverings, new ceiling grid, tiles (unless removed by Landlord
pursuant to Section 14 hereof), elevator systems, restrooms, the base Building HVAC mechanical
systems, the base Building electrical systems and the fire and life safety systems (“Base Building
Premises”), free from latent defects and structural defects, in good and proper working order and
in full compliance with all Laws, applicable building codes and ordinances which govern the use and
occupancy of office buildings in Denver, Colorado to allow Tenant to construct the Tenant
Improvements. Upon such delivery date, Tenant shall have a license thereafter to perform
construction of the Tenant Improvements, as further provided in this Exhibit C, such license to be
upon all of the terms of this Lease, except that no Monthly Base Rent or Tenant’s Percentage of
Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs shall be due and payable. The
Landlord shall provide all utilities (electrical, HVAC and lighting) during the construction of the
Tenant Improvements at no cost to Tenant. Taking of possession by Tenant shall establish that the
Premises are in good and satisfactory condition when possession was so taken, subject to latent
defects that could not reasonably have been discovered upon diligent inspection upon taking
possession and that are identified by Tenant to Landlord in writing within six (6) months after the
date of possession by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the condition of
the Premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant
shall make no changes to the Plans and Specifications or the work reflected in the Plans and Specifications without the consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

EXHIBIT C

 

-1-

 

4. Tenant’s Contribution to Tenant Improvement Costs. Landlord shall provide, at its
cost, the Base Building Premises as described herein. Landlord’s obligation to pay for the cost of
completing the Tenant Improvements shall not exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Tenant
Improvement Allowance, subject to the limitations on the amount thereof, is intended to apply to
all costs and expenses to build out fully finished and ready-to-occupy space from the Base Building
Premises, including permitting fees, and costs of construction, materials, equipment, permit
applications, fees and code compliance, special facilities and any “built-ins,” general
contractor’s fees and generally all actual and reasonable costs to complete construction and design
of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) a portion of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, subject to the limitations on the amount thereof, not to exceed Eight Hundred
Sixty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred Forty Dollars ($868,440.00) (calculated as $10.00 per rentable
square foot of the Premises), may be used by Tenant for the costs of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures
and equipment, personal property and Tenant’s specialty and removable trade fixtures, moving
expenses of any kind or nature, third party project management fees and architectural and
engineering fees, and (ii) a portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, subject to the
limitations on the amount thereof, not to exceed Four Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand Two Hundred
Twenty Dollars ($434,220.00) (calculated as $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises), may be
used by Tenant for the costs of Tenant’s data and telecommunications cabling and equipment or for
signage. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall include a fee payable to Landlord’s construction
manager for construction management services, in the amount of one-half percent (0.5%) of the
“gross construction cost,” meaning the cumulative total of all hard costs incurred in completing
the Premises. If the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord such excess (the “Excess Costs”) within ten (10) days after demand by
Landlord. Further, if at any time the total cost of completing the Tenant Improvements is
estimated to exceed the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord or Landlord’s lender,
may require Tenant to post a payment of performance bond to secure Tenant’s obligations to pay such
Excess Costs which shall be at the sole expense of Tenant but which may be deducted from the Tenant
Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have, in connection with such Excess Costs, all the rights
and remedies granted under this Lease in connection with the enforcement of collection of Base
Rent.

5. Excess TI Amount. By written notice to Landlord given not later than sixty (60)
days prior to commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements within the Premises,
Tenant may elect to have Landlord fund all or a specified portion of the Excess Costs of the
initial Tenant Improvements (such amount is herein called the “Excess TI Amount”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the total amount of Excess TI Amount exceed Four Hundred
Thirty-Four Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Dollars ($434,220.00) (calculated as $5.00 per rentable
square foot of the Premises). The Excess TI Amount will be paid by Landlord to Tenant together
with and in a like manner as Landlord’s payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Excess TI
Amount will be repaid by Tenant to Landlord, with interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per
annum, by increasing the Monthly Base Rent to be paid as provided in Section 1.8 and Article 5 of
the Lease. If Tenant elects to have any or all of the Excess Costs (subject to the limitation on
the amount provided above) be treated as Excess TI Amount, the total amount of Excess TI Amount and
the Monthly Base Rent increase will be calculated by Landlord and confirmed by Tenant within thirty
(30) days after Tenant’s submission of the request for payment and supporting documentation.

6. Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall furnish and construct within the Premises the
Tenant Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by
Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 2 hereof, using the Tenant’s Contractor (as defined in
Section 8 below). The work of designing and constructing the Tenant Improvements is sometimes in
this Work Letter Agreement called the “Tenant Improvement Work.”

EXHIBIT C

7. Delivery of Premises; Commencement Date and Delays.

a. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in its current “as is” and “where is”
condition ninety (90) days prior to the Commencement Date with all structural systems, roof
systems, plumbing systems; window systems, window coverings, new ceiling grid, tiles, elevator systems, restrooms, the base Building HVAC mechanical systems, the base
Building electrical systems and the fire and life safety systems free from latent defects and
structural defects, in good and proper working order and in full compliance with all Laws,
applicable building codes and ordinances which govern the use and occupancy of office buildings in
Denver, Colorado to allow Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements, provided, however, that no
such work shall be commenced until Landlord has approved the Plans and Specifications and the
construction contract in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Tenant or Tenant’s
Contractor has satisfied Landlord that all necessary building permits and other governmental
permits required for such work have been obtained and Tenant or Tenant’s Contractor has satisfied
Landlord that all insurance required for a commencement of such work has been obtained in
accordance with the requirements of this Work Letter. Landlord shall have full rights of access to
the Premises during the construction period, provided such access does not materially interfere
with the Tenant Improvement Work.

b. Assuming the Delivery Date has occurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 6a
above, whether or not the Tenant Improvements are completed, and subject to Landlord Delay, the
Term shall commence (and the Commencement Date occur) on December 13, 2010. As used herein, the
“Delivery Date” shall mean the date that is three (3) Business Days after full execution and
delivery of the Lease by both parties.

8. Tenant’s Contractor.

a. Selection of Tenant’s Contractor. At the time of delivery of Tenant’s proposed
plans and specifications pursuant to Section 1 of this Work Letter, Tenant shall provide for
Landlord’s review a proposed list of general contractors, and Landlord shall respond with approval
or disapproval at the time Landlord gives its approval or disapproval to Tenant’s proposed plans
and specifications pursuant to Section 1 of this Work Letter. Tenant shall be allowed to bid the
Tenant Improvement Work to at least three (3) general contractors so approved by Landlord. The
general contractor so selected by Tenant is herein called the “Tenant’s Contractor.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at its option, require that any engineering work be
performed by one of two (2) engineers, George Hadji & Associates or BCER Engineering, that any
structural engineering work required be performed by Martin & Martin, and that Metro State Fire
Alarm be used for any fire or life safety work to be performed in the Premises as part of the
Tenant Improvements.

9. Construction Contract. Tenant shall enter into a construction contract for the
Tenant Improvement Work directly with the Tenant’s Contractor, subject however to the following
terms and conditions:

a. All construction contract documents, including specifications and all change orders, shall
be subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

b. The Tenant’s Contractor (or Tenant) shall specifically be required to carry all such
insurance as Landlord may reasonably require in connection with such construction, for the benefit
of Tenant, Landlord, Landlord’s Agents and Tenant’s Contractor, and Landlord shall be named a third
party beneficiary of the Tenant’s contract with the Tenant’s Contractor and shall have the right to
enforce compliance with such contract in its own name or in the name of Tenant.

c. Neither Tenant’s Contractor, nor any of its subcontractors, shall be permitted to interfere
with the work of, or cause labor problems with, Landlord’s contractors or subcontractors otherwise
performing work within the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises or
the Building (including the premises of other tenants) caused by Tenant’s Contractor, or any of its
subcontractors. Tenant and/or Tenant’s Contractor shall comply with the pertinent Section 13.3 of
the Lease with respect to liens or claims for liens arising out of any Tenant Improvement Work or
any other work alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant.

d. Tenant shall cause the Tenant’s Contractor to diligently proceed with the completion of
construction of the Tenant Improvement Work after commencement thereof, in accordance with the
Plans and Specifications. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any defects in the
Tenant Improvement Work; Tenant shall be primarily responsible for resolving any claims of defects with Tenant’s Contractor or Tenant’s Architect, but Landlord
and Tenant agree to cooperate in this regard.

e. Landlord may submit a list of approved subcontractors for consideration by Tenant’s
Contractor. Landlord will have the right to review and approve the subcontractor list once the
project has been awarded to Tenant’s Contractor.

EXHIBIT C

10. Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance. Disbursement of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance shall be subject to compliance by Tenant and the Tenant’s Contractor with the
applicable provisions for disbursement of funds by Landlord as set forth herein. Not more often
than monthly, Tenant’s Contractor shall present to Landlord standard AIA pay request forms G701,
G702, and G703 for payment certified by Tenant’s Architect and approved by Tenant, together with
applicable invoices and unconditional lien waivers (or, from subcontractors only, waivers
conditioned only on payment) respecting all work covered by the pay request. Within thirty (30)
days from receipt of the pay request and all required documentation, Landlord from the Tenant
Improvement Allowance will disburse to Tenant, Tenant’s Contractor (or other appropriate vendor(s)
indicated in such pay request), the amount approved by Landlord for work in place in the Premises
or materials stored in the Premises and covered by the pay request form, less a 10% hold back for
retainage, and less any amounts to be reimbursed to Landlord from or charged against the Tenant
Improvement Allowance (including the construction management fee pursuant to Section 4 of this Work
Letter) pursuant to express provisions of this Lease, which amounts may be paid directly to
Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance either upon completion of the Tenant Improvements or
from time to time during construction, provided that Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the
amount of such disbursement. Landlord itself or through an agent shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to verify all requests for payment to assure Landlord that all work requested has been
completed in substantial compliance with the approved Plans and Specifications and that no greater
proportion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance is being disbursed than represents the proportionate
portion of the Tenant Improvements that have been completed in substantial compliance with the
approved Plans and Specifications. As provided in Section 5 hereof, Tenant shall be responsible
for payment of any deficiencies if the cost of completion of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the
Tenant Improvement Allowance. Upon submittal of the second to last pay application, Landlord shall
reduce the retainage to five percent (5%). Upon completion of all Tenant Improvements and evidence
of compliance with the approved Plans and Specifications and all of the other construction
documents (including a certificate of occupancy by the City of Denver and a certificate made by
Tenant’s Architect to Landlord certifying Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in
accordance with the requirements of this Lease), and subject to proof submitted by Tenant and
Tenant’s Contractor that all payments respecting the Tenant Improvements have been completed and
all unconditional lien waivers provided, and upon receipt of the final as-built plans of the Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall release to Tenant’s Contractor any retainage, not to exceed the then
undisbursed amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

11. Tenant Changes. Tenant may request a change, addition or alteration in the Tenant
Improvements as shown by the Plans and Specifications after Landlord’s final approval of such Plans
and Specifications (a “Change Order”) by delivery of a written request to Landlord for its
approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant’s Architect shall
complete all working drawings necessary to show the change, addition or alteration, and a Change
Order in form satisfactory to Landlord. Following its approval of the Change Order, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant its written approval of the Change Order and authorization to proceed with the
work as shown by the Change Order. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to provide documentation
for all changes to the Plans and Specifications at the time each change is authorized for
construction. At the conclusion of construction, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to update
Tenant’s Plans and Specifications as necessary to reflect all changes to the Plans and
Specifications during the course of construction. Tenant shall provide to Landlord a “record set”
of as-built sepias, balance report, operating manuals and copies of warranty letters within thirty
(30) days following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.

contribution of the Tenant Improvement Allowance as provided herein), at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for costs of remedying deficient or faulty
work or inadequate clean-up done by Tenant or its contractor(s) and trash/dumpster use (unless
Tenant’s Contractor uses its own dumpster with Landlord’s consent, in which event, trash removal
shall be provided by Tenant’s Contractor; provided that in all events Tenant shall be responsible
for removing its own trash from the Premises to the appropriate dumpster in connection with any
construction or installation by Tenant or its agents). Tenant shall not be charged for use of
construction electricity.

b. Landlord or its designated agent shall be afforded an opportunity to supervise all Tenant
Improvements.

c. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for, any
defaults of the Tenant’s Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers relating to construction
of the Tenant Improvements. In the event of any such default, Tenant shall look solely to Tenant’s
Contractor or the subcontractors or suppliers.

d. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Building (including the premises of other tenants),
or to the property of Landlord or other tenants, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the
Landlord and Landlord’s Agents harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages,
penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees) which arise from the negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents (including without
limitation Tenant’s Contractor) in the design of the Tenant Improvements and the process of
construction of the Tenant Improvements.

e. All Tenant Improvement Work shall be (1) completed substantially in accordance with the
approved Plans and Specifications; (2) completed in accordance with all Laws and applicable
governmental requirements; (3) carried out promptly in a good and workmanlike manner; (4) of all
new materials, unless Landlord agrees otherwise in writing; and (5) free of defect in materials and
workmanship.

f. Tenant’s Contractor and all subcontractors shall abide by the Landlord’s reasonable

g. Tenant shall obtain all necessary occupancy permits with respect to the Premises and shall
provide duplicate copies thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall not occupy the Premises prior to
obtaining all necessary occupancy permits for such occupancy and having complied with the insurance
requirements of this Lease applicable to the Term.

13. Landlord Delay and Tenant Delay. The term “Landlord Delay” as used in the Lease
or this Agreement shall mean any delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements which is due to
any act or omission of Landlord (wrongful, negligent or otherwise), its agents or contractors
(including acts or omissions while acting as agent or contractor for Tenant). The term Landlord
Delay shall include, but shall not be limited to any: (1) delay in the giving of authorizations or
approvals by Landlord; (2) delay attributable to the acts or failures to act, whether willful,
negligent or otherwise, of Landlord, its agents or contractors, where such acts or failures to act
delay the completion of the Tenant Improvements; (3) delay attributable to the interference of
Landlord, its agents or contractors with the completion of the Tenant Improvements or the failure
or refusal of any such party to permit Tenant, its agents or contractors, priority access to and
priority use of the Building or any Building facilities or services, including freight elevators,
passenger elevators, and loading docks, which access and use are required for the orderly and
continuous performance of the work necessary to complete the Tenant Improvements; (4) delay by
Landlord in administering and paying when due the Tenant Improvement Allowance (in which case, in
addition to such delay being deemed a Landlord Delay, Tenant shall have the right to stop the
construction of the Tenant Improvements); (5) delay caused by the failure of the Base Building to
comply with the Laws which are applicable to new construction; and (6) delay in delivering the
Premises to Tenant. In no event shall Tenant’s remedies or entitlements for the occurrence of a
Landlord Delay be abated, deferred, diminished or rendered inoperative because of a prior,
concurrent, or subsequent delay resulting from any action or inaction of Tenant. If the
Commencement Date is delayed due to a Landlord Delay, then Tenant shall receive two (2) days of
Rent abatement for each day the Commencement Date is delayed without extending the Expiration Date.
Tenant Delay” shall include, without limitation, any delay in the completion of
construction of Tenant Improvements resulting from (i) Tenant’s failure to comply with the
provisions of this Work Letter, (ii) delay in work caused by submission by Tenant of a request for any Change Order
following approval of the Plans and Specifications, or for the implementation of any Change Order,
or (iii) any delay by Tenant in timely submitting comments or approvals to the Plans and
Specifications The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not
serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of
Rent by Tenant.

14. HVAC System in the Premises. Landlord agrees, prior to delivery of the Premises
to Tenant, to retrofit the existing moduline heating and air conditioning system (excluding the
baseboard heating) in the Premises by installing a variable air volume system with DDC controls
(“VAV System”). The retrofit shall include the removal and storage of existing ceiling tiles for
future use by Tenant in the construction of the Tenant Improvements. The VAV System shall be
installed by Landlord in a base Building configuration with all associated duct work, electrical,
and controls in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Preliminary Space Plan. Within
fifteen (15) days of the mutual execution of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain a bid for the VAV
System and provide a copy thereof to Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant shall
advise Landlord that either: (i) Landlord shall install the VAV System in the Premises, or (ii)
Tenant shall install the VAV System as part of the Tenant Improvements (provided the cost is no
greater than the bid of Landlord). Failure of the Tenant to respond within such fifteen (15) day
time frame shall constitute authorization for Landlord to install the VAV System. If Tenant elects
to install the VAV System as part of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall have no obligation to
retrofit the existing system. If Tenant elects to install the VAV System, Landlord shall adjust
the Tenant Improvement Allowance based on Tenant’s bid for installation of the VAV System with an
understanding that Landlord and Tenant shall share equally in the savings, if any, from the bid
obtained by Tenant and the bid obtained by Landlord.

15. Lighting in the Premises. In conjunction with the Tenant Improvements to be
installed pursuant to this Work Letter, Tenant may elect to modify the existing overhead lighting
on the sixth floor of the Premises from individual 2X2 parabolic lights to individual 2X2 indirect
lights to match the indirect overhead lighting currently existing on the fifth floor of the
Premises. If Tenant so elects, Landlord agrees to contribute no more than one-third (1/3) of the
material cost for the new individual 2X2 overhead parabolic lights for the sixth floor, provided,
however, in no event shall such contribution exceed the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00).
Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of removal and installation of the new lighting.

16. Tenant Right of Off-Set. Notwithstanding anything in this Work Letter or the Lease
to the contrary, Landlord hereby agrees that if Landlord fails to pay any amount of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, Excess TI Amount or any other construction related amounts due and owing by
Landlord after Tenant has complied with any and all requirements for payment of such amounts
pursuant to this Work Letter, and after Tenant has given Landlord (and its Mortgagee) thirty (30)
days’ notice of such failure to pay, then Tenant shall have the right to send a second notice to
that effect to Landlord, with a copy to the Mortgagee, conspicuously stating that Tenant intends to
exercise the offset rights as set forth herein if Landlord does not cure such failure within ten
(10) business days after receipt by Landlord of such second written demand. If such reimbursement
is not made within ten (10) business days after such second written demand is delivered to
Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right to offset the amount paid by Tenant, together with
interest thereon from the date payment was due from Landlord until the unpaid amount is offset, at
the Interest Rate, against Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums due from Tenant
under this Lease.

17. Tenant Right to Self-Help. If Landlord shall default in the performance or
observance of any of its agreements or obligations under this Work Letter, Tenant shall give
written notice of the default to Landlord and shall simultaneously send a copy of the notice to
Landlord’s Mortgagee, the name and address of whom has previously been furnished in writing to
Tenant. If Landlord (or its Mortgagee) fails to cure the default within a reasonable time, not to
exceed thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice (unless such cure cannot reasonably
be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and Landlord or its Mortgagee commences curing within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter uses diligent efforts to complete such cure as soon as
practicable thereafter), Tenant shall have the right to send a second notice to that effect to
Landlord, with a copy to the Mortgagee, conspicuously stating that Tenant intends to exercise
self-help as set forth herein if Landlord does not cure (or commence to cure) such failure within
ten (10) business days after receipt by Landlord. If Landlord (or its Mortgagee) fails to commence to cure the default within said ten (10) business days, then (a)
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of
Landlord’s breach, and (b) at its election, Tenant may perform the work on Landlord’s behalf in a
reasonable, economical and good and workmanlike manner. If Tenant undertakes such work on behalf
of Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and actual cost thereof within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand, which demand is accompanied by copies of paid
invoices of the sum demanded, and if such reimbursement is not made within ten (10) business days
after a second written notice to Landlord (and Landlord’s Mortgagee if required in accordance with
the foregoing), conspicuously stating that a deduction from Rent will result if Landlord does not
pay the sum demanded prior to the end of such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant may deduct
the actual cost thereof from the Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums due from
Tenant under this Lease, in addition to exercising any other remedies Tenant may have.

18. Miscellaneous.

a. Any default of Tenant in this Work Letter Agreement shall, subject to any applicable notice
and cure periods contained in the Lease, constitute a Default of Tenant under the Lease, and
Landlord’s remedies shall be as set forth therein. All provisions of the Lease are fully
incorporated in this Exhibit C as though set forth herein at length.

b. Tenant shall designate one (1) construction representative authorized to act for Tenant upon
whom Landlord can rely, and who shall consult with Landlord and Landlord’s contractors, employees
and agents in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

RECITALS:

A. Landlord is or will be the owner of the land legally described in Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof and the buildings and other improvements located on such
land (such land, buildings and improvements being referred to herein as the “Property”)

B. Lender has made or has agreed to make a loan (the “Loan”) to Landlord in connection with
Landlord’s financing of the Property.

C. Tenant is the lessee under that certain Lease Agreement dated [                                        ],
[                    ] (as modified, amended or supplemented through the date hereof, the “Original Lease”)
relating to a portion of the Property (the “Premises”) commonly referred to as
[                                        ]. The Original Lease, as hereafter modified, amended or supplemented
from time to time, is referred to hereinafter as the “Lease.”

D. The Loan has been or will be evidenced by a certain promissory note (the “Note”) and
secured by, among other things, a first-lien Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Deed to Secure Debt or
similar security instrument encumbering the Property (such instrument, as amended, increased,
renewed, modified, consolidated, replaced, combined, substituted, severed, split, spread or

executed and delivered by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to Lender that
(a) the Original Lease is in full force and effect, (b) except as expressly set forth in Recital C
hereof, the Original Lease has not been modified or amended in any way, and (c) no party to the
Original Lease is in default with respect to such party’s obligations under the Original Lease as
of the date of this Agreement.

2. The Security Instrument and any and all terms, conditions and provisions thereof, all
advances made or to be made thereunder, and any other amendments, modifications, renewals,
extensions, alterations or replacements thereof are and shall unconditionally be and remain at all
times a lien or charge upon the Premises senior, prior and superior to the Lease, the leasehold
estate created thereby and all rights and privileges of Tenant or any other lessee thereunder in or
to the Premises or in or to the Property. The Lease, the leasehold estate created thereby and all
rights and privileges of Tenant or any other lessee thereunder in or to the Premises or in or to
the Property are hereby unconditionally subjected and made subordinate to, and Tenant hereby
subordinates the leasehold estate created by the Lease, and all of Tenant’s right, title, and
interest under the Lease and in and to the Premises and in or to the Property to, the lien or
charge of the Security Instrument and to all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, to all
advances made or to be made thereunder, and to any amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions,
alterations or replacements thereof.

3. As long as Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and is not in default
in the performance of its obligations under the Lease, which default has continued beyond any cure
periods provided in the Lease or at law, Tenant shall not be named as a party defendant in any
action for foreclosure, trustee’s sale or other enforcement of the Security Instrument (unless
required by law), nor shall the Lease be terminated in connection with, or by reason of,
foreclosure, trustee’s sale or other proceedings for the enforcement of the Security Instrument, or
by reason of a transfer of the landlord’s interest under the Lease pursuant to the taking of a deed
or assignment (or similar device) in lieu or in contemplation of foreclosure, nor shall Tenant’s
use or possession of the Premises be interfered with, and the rights of Tenant under the Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, except that the person acquiring or succeeding to the
interests of Landlord as the result of any such action or proceeding and such person’s successors
and assigns (any of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as “Successor”) shall not be:

(a) bound by any prepayment of rent paid more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date
or for any security deposit unless actually received by Successor and then limited to the amount of
such security deposit actually received subject to all rights, privileges and benefits of Landlord
set forth in the Lease with respect thereto;

(b) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation,
Landlord) or for any claim for damages against any such prior landlord (including, without
limitation, Landlord);

(c) subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims which Tenant may have against any prior
landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord); except to the extent of any such offset rights
with respect to costs, expenses and direct damages as set forth in Section 31.1 of the Lease and
Sections 16 and 17 of the Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit C thereto provided that (i)
Lender shall have received written notice of the default or event entitling Tenant to such offset
right prior to Successor’s taking title to the Premises and thereafter Successor shall have failed
to cure such default pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) to the extent Tenant had
knowledge of the default or event giving rise to such offset right, Tenant attempted to exercise
such rights of offset against the prior landlord (including Landlord), (iii) Successor shall not be
subject to any such offset rights to the extent such offset rights have already been taken against
any prior landlord (including Landlord), and (iv) in no event shall Successor be liable for any
punitive or consequential damages; or

(d) bound by any amendment, modification or termination of the Original Lease made without the
written consent of Lender.

4. If the interest of Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred by reason of any
foreclosure, trustee’s sale or other proceedings for enforcement of the Security Instrument or the
obligations which it secures or pursuant to a taking of a deed or assignment (or similar device) in
lieu or in contemplation of foreclosure thereof, then Tenant shall be bound to Successor and, so
long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Successor shall be bound to Tenant under all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the unexpired balance of the term thereof
remaining (and any extensions, if exercised), with the same force and effect as if Successor were
Landlord, and Tenant does hereby (a) agree to attorn to Successor, including Lender if it be Successor, as its landlord, (b) affirm its obligations under the Lease, and
(c) agree to make payments of all sums due under the Lease to Successor, said attornment,
affirmation and agreement to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further
instruments, upon Successor succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the Lease. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or
hereafter in effect that may give or purport to give it any right or obligation to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect the Lease or the obligations of Tenant thereunder by reason of any
foreclosure, trustee’s sale or other proceedings for enforcement of the Security Instrument or the
taking of a deed or assignment (or similar device) in lieu or in contemplation of foreclosure.
Tenant agrees to provide Successor a written confirmation of its attornment to Successor within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written request therefor from Successor, but failure to receive such
written confirmation from Tenant shall not derogate from Tenant’s obligations to Successor
hereunder.

5. Upon the written request of either Tenant (provided that Tenant is then in compliance with
the terms of this Agreement and is not in default in the performance of its obligations under the
Lease) or Successor to the other given at the time of foreclosure, trustee’s sale or other
proceeding for enforcement of the Security Instrument or by deed in lieu thereof, the parties shall
execute a lease of the Premises upon the same terms and conditions as the Lease between Landlord
and Tenant, which Lease shall cover any unexpired balance of the term of the Lease existing prior
to such foreclosure, trustee’s sale or conveyance in lieu thereof.

6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall not terminate or cancel
the Lease or the term thereof by reason of a default or breach by Landlord thereunder and Tenant
shall not commence any action against Landlord or otherwise pursue any right or remedy against
Landlord in consequence of a default by Landlord under the terms and provisions of the Lease unless
written notice by Tenant specifying such default is mailed to Lender at its address set forth
above. Tenant further agrees that Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure
such default on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or if such
default cannot reasonably be cured in such 30-day period, Lender shall have the right to commence
the cure of such default in such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursue such cure until
completed. Tenant further agrees not to invoke any of its remedies either express or implied,
under the Lease (except in the case of emergency repairs) unless such default shall remain uncured
at the expiration of the 30-day period after receipt of such notice of default, or if such default
cannot reasonably be cured by Lender in such 30-day period, unless the cure of such default shall
not be commenced within such 30-day period and thereafter prosecuted diligently to completion.

7. Tenant agrees that neither this Agreement nor the Security Instrument shall, prior to
Lender’s succession to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, through any foreclosure, trustee sale,
deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or a possessory action, operate to place responsibility
for the control, care, management or repair of the Premises upon Lender, or impose responsibility
for the carrying out of the terms and conditions of the Lease, nor shall Lender be responsible for
or liable for any waste committed on the Premises by any party whatsoever or for any dangerous or
defective condition of the Premises, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or
control of the Premises resulting in any damage to property or in any loss or injury or death to
any person.

8. In the event that Lender notifies Tenant of any default under the Security Instrument and
demands that Tenant pay rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, Tenant (waiving any
proof of the occurrence of such event of default other than receipt of Lender’s notice) shall pay
rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Lender. Any payments made to Lender by
Tenant shall not affect or impair the other rights and remedies of Lender under the Security
Instrument or otherwise against Landlord. Any and all payments made to Lender by Tenant pursuant
to the foregoing shall be credited against Tenant’s rental obligations under the Lease regardless
of whether Lender had the right to make such demand and regardless of any contrary demands which
may hereafter be made by Landlord.

9. This Agreement shall be the whole and only agreement between the parties hereto with regard
to the subordination of the Lease to the lien or charge of the Security Instrument in favor of
Lender, and shall supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority of the Lease
as to such subjection or subordination, all other subjection or subordination agreements including, but not limited to, those provisions, if any, contained in
the Lease which provide for the subjection or subordination of said Lease to a deed of trust or to
a mortgage or mortgages.

10. This Agreement may not be modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the
parties. All references to Lender in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to Lender, its
participants, and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

11. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or affect the lien created by
the Security Instrument, except as specifically set forth herein. Successor’s liability under the
Lease shall be limited to Successor’s interest in and to the Property.

12. Tenant acknowledges that this Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the
Original Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement with respect to the Security
Instrument. In the event there is any inconsistency between the terms and provisions hereof and
the terms and provisions of the Lease dealing with non-disturbance, the terms and provisions hereof
shall be controlling.

13. All notices, demands or requests made pursuant to, under or by virtue of this Agreement
shall be in writing and delivered by hand, sent by an overnight courier service providing dated
evidence of delivery or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the
person to whom the notice, demand or request is being made at its address set forth herein. Such
notices shall be deemed to have been promptly given and received for all purposes (a) if hand
delivered, effective upon delivery; (b) if mailed, by United States registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, effective on the date shown on the return receipt; or
(c) if sent by Federal Express or other reliable express courier, effective on the next business
day after delivery to such express courier service. Any person may change the place that notices
and demands are to be sent by written notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement.
“Business day” shall mean any day, except Saturday, Sunday and any day which, in the State in which
the Property is located, is a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized
or required by law or other government action to close.

14. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Property is
located. If any of the terms of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or
the application of any such terms to any person or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Agreement shall be
valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15. In the event any legal action or proceeding is commenced to interpret or enforce the terms
of, or obligations arising out of, this Agreement, or to recover damages for the breach thereof,
the party prevailing in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the
non-prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing
party.

16. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17. Tenant understands, acknowledges and agrees that Lender in entering into this Agreement
and third parties who are interested in the matters covered by this Agreement are relying on the
representations contained herein, including without limitation purchasers, transferees, assignees,
servicers, participants, investors, and their respective successors and assigns, and credit rating
agencies in connection with the Loan.

SETTLEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

This SETTLEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (together with all Exhibits attached hereto, the

RECITALS 

	A.	 	VirnetX Inc. has accused Microsoft of infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 6,502,135 B1 and 7,188,180
B2 (the “Patents-In-Suit”) in actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas (“the Court”), designated Civ. Action No. 6:07CV80 (LED) and Civ. Action No.
6:10CV94 (LED) (“the Actions”).

	B.	 	Microsoft Corporation has denied any such infringement of the Patents-in-Suit and challenged
the validity thereof. Microsoft has also challenged the enforceability of the Patents-in-Suit
to the extent allowed pursuant to the Order dated January 15, 2010 in Civ. Action No. 6:07CV80
(LED), Docket No. 274 (“the January 15, 2010 Order”).

	 
	C.	 	Microsoft admits no liability with respect to any of the claims asserted in the Actions.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT 

1 Compromise Only. This Agreement is entered into for purposes of settlement and compromise
only. Nothing contained in this Agreement, or done or omitted in connection with this Agreement, is
intended as or shall be construed as an admission of or by any Party, or on behalf of any Microsoft
Released Party (as hereinafter defined), of any fault, liability or wrongdoing whatsoever, or an
admission of or by any Microsoft Released Party that any Licensed Patents (as hereinafter defined)
are infringed, valid or enforceable.

2 Definitions.

“Licensed Patents” shall mean all VirnetX patents and patent applications in existence
and owned by or assigned to VirnetX Inc. or its current Affiliates as of the Effective Date
(including, without limitation, the Patents-In-Suit and the patents and applications set forth
on Exhibit A) and all patents and applications related to such patents and applications
(including, without limitation, parents, continuations, continuations in part, and

with Microsoft Corporation or VirnetX Inc.

3. Releases 

	 	3.1	 	VirnetX, on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors, assigns, attorneys,
directors, shareholders, employees, and officers (collectively with VirnetX, the “VirnetX
Releasing Parties”), hereby voluntarily, irrevocably and unconditionally fully and
forever releases, discharges, covenants not to sue, and holds harmless Microsoft and its
predecessors, successors, assigns, attorneys, insurers, agents, servants, subcontractors,
officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, employees, and Licensees
(collectively, the “Microsoft Released Parties”) from and for any and all rights, claims,
debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, damages, causes of action and claims
for relief of any kind, manner, nature and description, known or unknown (collectively,
“Claims”), which any of the VirnetX Releasing Parties have, may have had, might have
asserted, may now have or assert, or may hereafter have or assert against the Microsoft
Released Parties, or any of them, arising, accruing or occurring, in whole or in part, at
any time prior to the Effective Date, including, without in any way limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any claims or causes of action arising out of or related to
any of the facts, transactions, matters or occurrences giving rise to or alleged, or that
could have been alleged in or discovered in, the Actions or under any of the Licensed
Patents.

	 	3.2	 	Microsoft, on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors, assigns
(collectively with Microsoft, the “Microsoft Releasing Parties”), hereby voluntarily,
irrevocably and unconditionally fully and forever releases, discharges, covenants not to
sue, and holds harmless VirnetX and its predecessors, successors, assigns, attorneys,
insurers, agents, servants, subcontractors, officers, directors, representatives, and
employees (collectively, the “VirnetX Released Parties”) from and for any and all Claims
which any of the Microsoft Releasing Parties have, may have had, might have asserted, or
may now have or assert prior to the Effective Date arising out of or related to any of
the facts, transactions, matters or occurrences giving rise to or alleged, or that could
have been alleged in or discovered in, the Actions as to VirnetX’s assertion of the
Patents-in-Suit, except that Microsoft does not release or discharge (or grant a covenant
or hold harmless as to) its Claims that the Licensed Patents are invalid, unenforceable,
and/or not infringed by Microsoft.

	 	3.3	 	The VirnetX Releasing Parties and Microsoft Releasing Parties expressly waive any
and all statutes, legal doctrines and other similar limitations upon the effect of
general releases. By way of example, and without limitation, the foregoing parties waive
the benefit of California Civil Code Section 1542, which states as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.”

The VirnetX Releasing Parties and Microsoft Releasing Parties, with the advice of their
counsel, waive any rights and/or benefits that they, or any of them, might otherwise
have under Civil Code Section 1542 and any and all other statutes, legal doctrines
and/or principles of similar effect in California, Washington, and any other state,
federal or foreign jurisdiction, to the full extent that such rights and benefits may be
waived.

4. Grant of Licenses and Covenant 

	 	4.1	 	[***], VirnetX hereby grants to Microsoft, and Licensees, a worldwide, irrevocable,
nonexclusive, non-sublicensable fully paid up license and covenant not to sue under the
Licensed Patents.

	 
	 	4.2	 	[***]

	 
	 	4.3	 	[***]

	 
	 	4.4	 	[***]

5. Consideration. 

	 	5.1.	 	Dismissals. VirnetX shall dismiss with prejudice (and cause Science
Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”) to join in such dismissal) all claims in
the Actions, and Microsoft shall dismiss with prejudice all counterclaims in the Actions
(except Microsoft’s affirmative defenses and counterclaims of (i) non-infringement and
invalidity shall be dismissed without prejudice and (ii) unenforceability shall be
dismissed without prejudice but continue to be subject to the January 15, 2010 Order), by
filing (and VirnetX causing SAIC to file) on or before May 21, 2010, Stipulations of
Dismissal that provide that each of VirnetX Inc., Microsoft Corporation and SAIC will
bear its own costs, expenses and attorney’s fees in connection with the Actions. In
addition, VirnetX Inc. and Microsoft Corporation agree to execute such additional papers
and motions as may be necessary to cause the Court to effect a disposal of all issues
before it and a dismissal of the Actions.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

Microsoft in the Actions, and in full and complete consideration of the licenses,
releases, waivers, and other covenants and rights in this Agreement, Microsoft

confidential. On or after a mutually agreed time, the Parties agree to issue the joint

or existence of this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the terms and conditions
of this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed by any Party to any other
person except (a) as may be required by law (including, without limitation, SEC reporting
requirements, or any other United States or foreign regulatory requirements) or stock
exchange rule (after prior written notice to the other Party with opportunity to comment
on the disclosure), (b) during the course of litigation so long as the disclosure of such

of the litigating Party, which includes designating the Agreement under the highest
available level of protection under a protective order; (c) in confidence to the
professional legal, advisory, and financial counsel representing or auditing such Party;
(d) in confidence, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights under
this Agreement; (e) in confidence, in connection with a merger or acquisition or proposed

subsection (a), VirnetX will provide Microsoft with a draft copy of the proposed
disclosure or filing (including, without limitation, any filing with the SEC) at least twenty-four
(24) hours before such disclosure or filing is made, and the Parties will consult in
good faith with respect to the content of the proposed disclosure and the potential for
VirnetX to request confidential treatment with respect to portions of the Agreement that
VirnetX reasonably believes must be disclosed or filed.

Warranties. VirnetX represents, warrants, and covenants
to Microsoft that:

	 
	 	 	 	(a) VirnetX Inc. is the sole, exclusive, and lawful owner of the Licensed Patents

proceedings of the Patents-In-Suit.

(b) Microsoft has been represented by competent and independent counsel of its own
choice throughout all negotiations preceding the execution of the Agreement, and has
