                             COLORADO MEDTECH, INC.

                          2001 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

         SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to advance the
interests of Colorado MEDtech, Inc. (the "Company") and its shareholders by
providing incentives to certain Eligible Persons (as defined below) who
contribute significantly to the strategic and long-term performance objectives
and growth of the Company.

         SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. The definitions applicable to this Plan are
provided in Appendix A.

         SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION. The Committee shall administer this Plan and
shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of this Plan, such powers to
include without limitation exclusive authority to select the Eligible Persons to
be granted Awards under this Plan, to determine the type, size and terms of the
Award to be made to each Eligible Person selected, to modify the terms of any
Award that has been granted, to determine the time when Awards will be granted,
to establish performance objectives, to make any adjustments necessary or
desirable as a result of the granting of Awards to Eligible Persons located
outside the United States and to prescribe the form of the agreements evidencing
Awards made under this Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret this Plan
and the Awards granted under this Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any
rules and regulations relating to this Plan, and to make any other
determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of
this Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to
the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to carry it into effect.
Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this
Plan, as described in this Plan, shall lie within the Committee's sole and
absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties
concerned. The Committee may act only by a majority of its members in office,
except that the Committee may authorize any one or more of their members or any
officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents or to take any other
ministerial action on behalf of the Committee with respect to Awards made or to
be made to Participants.

         No member of the Committee and no officer of the Company shall be
liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him, by any other member of
the Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with the
performance of duties under this Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or
as expressly provided by statute. In addition to all other rights of
indemnification and reimbursement to which a member of the Committee and an
officer of the Company may be entitled, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each such member or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding or suit in
connection with the performance of duties under this Plan against expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, liabilities, losses
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such proceeding or suit, except for his own willful misconduct
or as expressly provided otherwise by statute. Expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by a such a member or officer in defending any such
proceeding or suit shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such proceeding or suit upon receipt of a written affirmation by
such member or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking by or on behalf
of such member or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized in this Section.

         SECTION 4. PARTICIPATION. Consistent with the purposes of this Plan,
the Committee shall have exclusive power to select the Eligible Persons who may
participate in this Plan and be granted Awards

under this Plan. Eligible Persons may be selected individually or by groups or
categories, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

         SECTION 5. AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN.

                  (a) Types of Awards. Awards under this Plan may include, but
         need not be limited to, one or more of the following types, either
         alone or in any combination thereof: (i) Stock Options, (ii) Stock
         Appreciation Rights, (iii) Restricted Stock, (iv) Performance Grants
         and (v) any other type of Award deemed by the Committee in its
         discretion to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan (including,
         but not limited to, Awards of or options or similar rights granted with
         respect to unbundled stock units or components thereof, and Awards to
         be made to Participants who are foreign nationals or are employed or
         performing services outside the United States).

                  (b) Maximum Number of Shares that May be Issued. There may be
         issued under this Plan (as Restricted Stock, in payment of Performance
         Grants, pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
         Rights or in payment of or pursuant to the exercise of such other
         Awards as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine) an aggregate
         of not more than 1,000,000 Common Shares, subject to adjustment as
         provided in Section 15. No Eligible Person may receive Awards under
         this Plan for more than 250,000 Common Shares in any one fiscal year of
         the Company, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15. Common
         Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may be either authorized but
         unissued shares, treasury shares, reacquired shares or any combination
         thereof. If any Common Shares issued as Restricted Stock or otherwise
         subject to repurchase or forfeiture rights are reacquired by the
         Company pursuant to such rights or, if any Award is canceled,
         terminates or expires unexercised, any Common Shares that would
         otherwise have been issuable pursuant thereto will be available for
         issuance under new Awards.

                  (c) Rights with Respect to Common Shares and Other Securities.
         Except as provided in subsection 8(c) with respect to Awards of
         Restricted Stock and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in
         its discretion, a Participant to whom an Award is made (and any person
         succeeding to such a Participant's rights pursuant to this Plan) shall
         have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares or as
         a holder with respect to other securities, if any, issuable pursuant to
         any such Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to
         him for such Common Shares or other instrument of ownership, if any.
         Except as provided in Section 15, no adjustment shall be made for
         dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or
         extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities, other property or other
         forms of consideration, or any combination thereof) for which the
         record date is prior to the date such stock certificate or other
         instrument of ownership, if any, is required to be issued based upon
         the date any Award was exercised. In all events, a Participant with
         whom an Award agreement is made to issue Common Shares in the future,
         shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares
         related to such agreement until issuance to him of a stock certificate
         representing such shares.

         SECTION 6. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may sell Purchased Options or
grant other Stock Options either alone, or in conjunction with Associated
Awards, either at the time of grant or by amendment thereafter; provided that an
Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees
of the Company and who have Associated Awards only to the extent that such
Associated Awards do not disqualify the Incentive Stock Option's status as such
under the Code. Each Stock Option granted or sold under this Plan shall be
evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from
time to time in accordance with this Plan and shall comply with the applicable
terms and conditions of this Section and this Plan, and with such other terms

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

and conditions, including, but not limited to, restrictions upon the Stock
Option or the Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, as the Committee, in
its discretion, shall establish.

                  (a) The exercise price of a Stock Option may be less than,
         equal to, or greater than, the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares
         subject to such Stock Option at the time the Stock Option is granted,
         as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in the case of
         an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee of the Company, the
         exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the
         Common Shares subject to such Stock Option at the time the Stock Option
         is granted, or if granted to a Ten Percent Employee, such exercise
         price shall not be less than 110% of such Fair Market Value at the time
         the Stock Option is granted. In no event, however, will the exercise
         price per share of a Stock Option be less than the par value per share
         of a Common Share.

                  (b) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares
         to be subject to each Stock Option. In the case of a Stock Option
         awarded in conjunction with an Associated Award, the number of Common
         Shares subject to an outstanding Stock Option may be reduced on an
         appropriate basis to the extent that the Associated Award has been
         exercised, paid to or otherwise received by the Participant, as
         determined by the Committee.

                  (c) Any Stock Option may be exercised during its term only at
         such time or times and in such installments as the Committee may
         establish.

                  (d) A Stock Option shall not be exercisable:

                           (i) in the case of any Incentive Stock Option granted
                  to a Ten Percent Employee, after the expiration of five years
                  from the date it is granted, and, in the case of any other
                  Stock Option, after the expiration of ten years from the date
                  it is granted; and

                           (ii) unless payment in full is made for the shares
                  being acquired thereunder at the time of exercise as provided
                  in subsection 6(i).

                  (e) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and
         specify in each agreement evidencing a Stock Option the effect, if any,
         the termination of the Participant's employment with or performance of
         services for the Company shall have on the exercisability of the Stock
         Option; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option shall not be
         exercisable at a time that is beyond the time an Incentive Stock Option
         may be exercised in order to qualify as such under the Code.

                  (f) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the amount of
         the aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Shares (determined at the
         time of grant of the Stock Option) with respect to which incentive
         stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee of the
         Company during any calendar year (under all such plans of his employer
         corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not
         exceed $100,000 or such other amount as is specified in the Code.

                  (g) It is the intent of the Company that Nonqualified Stock
         Options granted under this Plan not be classified as Incentive Stock
         Options, that the Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan be
         consistent with and contain or be deemed to contain all provisions
         required under Section 422 and the other appropriate provisions of the
         Code and any implementing regulations (and any successor provisions
         thereof), and that any ambiguities in construction shall be interpreted
         in order to effectuate such intent.

                                      -3-

                  (h) A Purchased Option may contain such additional terms not
         inconsistent with this Plan, including but not limited to the
         circumstances under which the purchase price of such Purchased Option
         may be returned to the holder of the Purchased Option, as the Committee
         may determine in its sole discretion.

                  (i) For purposes of payments made to exercise Stock Options,
         such payment shall be made in such form (including, but not limited to,
         cash, Common Shares, the surrender of another outstanding Award under
         this Plan or any combination thereof) as the Committee may determine in
         its discretion; provided, however, that, unless the Committee
         determines otherwise, for purposes of making such payment in Common
         Shares, such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the
         day of exercise and shall have been held by the Participant for a
         period of at least six (6) months.

         SECTION 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may grant Stock
Appreciation Rights either alone, or in conjunction with Associated Awards,
either at the time of grant or by amendment thereafter. Each Award of Stock
Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement
in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in accordance
with this Plan and shall comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this
Section and this Plan, and with such other terms and conditions, including, but
not limited to, restrictions upon the Award of Stock Appreciation Rights or the
Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, as the Committee, in its
discretion, shall establish.

                  (a) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares
         to be subject to each Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. In the case
         of an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights awarded in conjunction with an
         Associated Award, the number of Common Shares subject to an outstanding
         Award of Stock Appreciation Rights may be reduced on an appropriate
         basis to the extent that the Associated Award has been exercised, paid
         to or otherwise received by the Participant, as determined by the
         Committee.

                  (b) The Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be
         exercisable:

                           (i) unless the Associated Award, if any, is at the
                  time exercisable;

                           (ii) if the Associated Award is a Stock Option and
                  the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Shares on the
                  exercise date does not exceed the exercise price per share of
                  such Stock Option; and

                           (iii) if the Associated Award is an Incentive Stock
                  Option and the exercise of the Award of Stock Appreciation
                  Rights would disqualify the Incentive Stock Option as such
                  under the Code.

                  (c) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and
         specify in each agreement evidencing an Award of Stock Appreciation
         Rights the effect, if any, the termination of the Participant's
         employment with or performance of services for the Company shall have
         on the exercisability of the Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.

                  (d) An Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the
         holder to exercise such Award or to surrender unexercised an Associated
         Award (or any portion of such Associated Award) to the Company and to
         receive from the Company in exchange thereof, without payment to the
         Company, that number of Common Shares having an aggregate value equal
         to (or, in the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

         discretion of the Committee, less than) the excess of the Fair Market
         Value of one share, at the time of such exercise, over the exercise
         price, times the number of shares subject to the Award or the
         Associated Award, or portion thereof, that is so exercised or
         surrendered, as the case may be. The Committee shall be entitled in its
         discretion to elect to settle the obligation arising out of the
         exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right by the payment of cash or Other
         Securities or property, or other forms of payment or any combination
         thereof, as determined by the Committee, equal to the aggregate value
         of the Common Shares it would otherwise be obligated to deliver. Any
         such election by the Committee shall be made as soon as practicable
         after the receipt by the Committee of written notice of the exercise of
         the Stock Appreciation Right.

                  (e) A Stock Appreciation Right may provide that it shall be
         deemed to have been exercised at the close of business on the business
         day preceding the expiration date of the Stock Appreciation Right or of
         the related Stock Option (or other Award), or such other date as
         specified by the Committee, if at such time such Stock Appreciation
         Right has a positive value. Such deemed exercise shall be settled or
         paid in the same manner as a regular exercise thereof as provided in
         subsection 7(d) of this Agreement.

         SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee may grant Awards of
Restricted Stock either alone, or in conjunction with Associated Awards, either
at the time of grant or by amendment thereafter. Each Award of Restricted Stock
under this Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee
shall prescribe from time to time in accordance with this Plan and shall comply
with the applicable terms and conditions of this Section and this Plan, and with
such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall
establish.

                  (a) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares
         to be issued to a Participant pursuant to the Award of Restricted
         Stock, and the extent, if any, to which they shall be issued in
         exchange for cash, other consideration, or both.

                  (b) Until the expiration of such period as the Committee shall
         determine from the date on which the Award is granted and subject to
         such other terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion
         shall establish (the "RESTRICTED PERIOD"), a Participant to whom an
         Award of Restricted Stock is made shall be issued, but shall not be
         entitled to the delivery of, a stock certificate representing the
         Common Shares subject to such Award.

                  (c) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its
         discretion, a Participant to whom an Award of Restricted Stock has been
         made (and any person succeeding to such a participant's rights pursuant
         to this Plan) shall have, after issuance of a certificate for the
         number of Common Shares awarded and prior to the expiration of the
         Restricted Period, ownership of such Common Shares, including the right
         to vote such Common Shares and to receive dividends or other
         distributions made or paid with respect to such Common Shares (provided
         that such Common Shares, and any new, additional or different shares,
         or Other Securities or property, or other forms of consideration that
         the Participant may be entitled to receive with respect to such Common
         Shares as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or any other change
         in the corporation or capital structure of the Company, shall be
         subject to the restrictions set forth in this Plan as determined by the
         Committee in its discretion), subject, however, to the options,
         restrictions and limitations imposed thereon pursuant to this Plan.

                  (d) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and
         specify in each agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock the
         effect, if any, the termination of the Participant's employment with or
         performance of services for the Company during the Restricted Period
         shall have on such Award of Restricted Stock.

                                      -5-

         SECTION 9. PERFORMANCE GRANTS. The Committee may grant Awards of
Performance Grants either alone, or in conjunction with Associated Awards,
either at the time of grant or by amendment thereafter. The Award of a
Performance Grant to a Participant will entitle him to receive a specified
amount determined by the Committee (the "ACTUAL VALUE"), if the terms and
conditions specified in this Plan and in the Award are satisfied. Each Award of
a Performance Grant shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of
this Section and this Plan, and to such other terms and conditions, including
but not limited to, restrictions upon any cash, Common Shares, Other Securities
or property, or other forms of payment, or any combination thereof, issued with
respect to the Performance Grant, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall
establish, and shall be embodied in an agreement in such form and substance as
is determined by the Committee.

                  (a) The Committee shall determine the value or range of values
         of a Performance Grant to be awarded to each Participant selected for
         an Award and whether or not such a Performance Grant is granted in
         conjunction with an Associated Award. As determined by the Committee,
         the maximum value of each Performance Grant (the "MAXIMUM VALUE") shall
         be: (i) an amount fixed by the Committee at the time the Award is made
         or amended thereafter, (ii) an amount that varies from time to time
         based in whole or in part on the then current value of the Common
         Shares, Other Securities or property, or other securities or property,
         or any combination thereof or (iii) an amount that is determinable from
         criteria specified by the Committee. Performance Grants may be issued
         in different classes or series having different names, terms and
         conditions. In the case of a Performance Grant awarded in conjunction
         with an Associated Award, the Performance Grant may be reduced on an
         appropriate basis to the extent that the Associated Award has been
         exercised, paid to or otherwise received by the Participant, as
         determined by the Committee.

                  (b) The award period ("AWARD PERIOD") related to any
         Performance Grant shall be a period determined by the Committee. At the
         time each Award is made, the Committee shall establish performance
         objectives to be attained within the Award Period as the means of
         determining the Actual Value of such a Performance Grant. The
         performance objectives shall be based on such measure or measures of
         performance, which may include, but need not be limited to, the
         performance of the Participant, the Company or one or more of its
         divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, as the
         Committee shall determine, and may be applied on an absolute basis or
         be relative to industry or other indices or any combination thereof.
         The Actual Value of a Performance Grant shall be equal to its Maximum
         Value only if the performance objectives are attained in full, but the
         Committee shall specify the manner in which the Actual Value of
         Performance Grants shall be determined if the performance objectives
         are met in part. Such performance measures, the Actual Value or the
         Maximum Value, or any combination thereof, may be adjusted in any
         manner by the Committee in its discretion at any time and from time to
         time during or as soon as practicable after the Award Period, if it
         determines that such performance measures, the Actual Value or the
         Maximum Value, or any combination thereof, are not appropriate under
         the circumstances.

                  (c) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and
         specify in each agreement evidencing a Performance Grant the effect, if
         any, the termination of the Participant's employment with or
         performance of services for the Company during the Award Period shall
         have on such Performance Grant.

                  (d) The Committee shall determine whether the conditions of a
         Performance Grant have been met and, if so, shall ascertain the Actual
         Value of the Performance Grant. If the Performance Grant has no Actual
         Value, the Award and such Performance Grant shall be deemed

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         to have been canceled and the Associated Award, if any, may be canceled
         or permitted to continue in effect in accordance with its terms. If the
         Performance Grant has any Actual Value and:

                           (i) was not awarded in conjunction with an Associated
                  Award, the Committee shall cause an amount equal to the Actual
                  Value of the Performance Grant earned by the Participant to be
                  paid to him or his permitted assignee or Beneficiary; or

                           (ii) was awarded in conjunction with an Associated
                  Award, the Committee shall determine, in accordance with
                  criteria specified by the Committee (A) to cancel the
                  Performance Grant, in which event no amount with respect
                  thereto shall be paid to the Participant or his permitted
                  assignee or Beneficiary, and the Associated Award may be
                  permitted to continue in effect in accordance with its terms,
                  (B) to pay the Actual Value of the Performance Grant to the
                  Participant or his permitted assignee or Beneficiary as
                  provided below, in which event the Associated Award may be
                  canceled or (C) to pay to the Participant or his Beneficiary,
                  the Actual Value of only a portion of the Performance Grants,
                  in which event all or a portion of the Associated Award may be
                  permitted to continue in effect in accordance with its terms
                  or be canceled, as determined by the Committee.

                  Such determination by the Committee shall be made as promptly
         as practicable following the end of the Award Period or upon the
         earlier termination of employment or performance of services, or at
         such other time or times as the Committee shall determine, and shall be
         made pursuant to criteria specified by the Committee.

                  (e) Payment of any amount with respect to the Performance
         Grants that the Committee determines to pay as provided above shall be
         made by the Company as promptly as practicable after the end of the
         Award Period or at such other time or times as the Committee shall
         determine, and may be made in cash, Common Shares, Other Securities or
         property, or other forms of payment, or any combination thereof or in
         such other manner, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
         Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Committee
         may, in its discretion, determine and pay out the Actual Value of the
         Performance Grants at any time during the Award Period.

         SECTION 10. DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION. The Committee shall determine
whether or not an Award shall be made in conjunction with the deferral of the
Participant's salary, bonus or other compensation, or any combination thereof,
and whether or not such deferred amounts may be:

                  (a) forfeited to the Company or to other Participants or any
         combination thereof, under certain circumstances (which may include,
         but need not be limited to, certain types of termination of employment
         or performance of services for the Company);

                  (b) subject to increase or decrease in value based upon the
         attainment of or failure to attain, respectively, certain performance
         measures; and/or

                  (c) credited with income equivalents (which may include, but
         need not be limited to, interest, dividends or other rates of return)
         until the date or dates of payment of the Award, if any.

         SECTION 11. DEFERRED PAYMENT OF AWARDS. The Committee may specify that
the payment of all or any portion of cash, Common Shares, Other Securities or
property, or any other form of payment, or any combination thereof, under an
Award shall be deferred until a later date. Deferrals shall be for such

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

periods or until the occurrence of such events, and upon such terms, as the
Committee shall determine in its discretion. Deferred payments of Awards may be
made by undertaking to make payment in the future based upon the performance of
certain investment equivalents (which may include, but need not be limited to,
government securities, Common Shares, other securities, property or
consideration, or any combination thereof), together with such additional
amounts of income equivalents (which may be compounded and may include, but need
not be limited to, interest, dividends or other rates of return or any
combination thereof) as may accrue thereon until the date or dates of payment,
such investment equivalents and such additional amounts of income equivalents to
be determined by the Committee in its discretion.

         SECTION 12. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. A Participant's rights and
interest under this Plan or any Award may not be assigned or transferred,
hypothecated or encumbered in whole or in part either directly or by operation
of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy,
garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy or in any other manner; provided,
however, the Committee may permit such transfer to a Permitted Transferee; and
provided, further, that, unless otherwise permitted by the Code, any Incentive
Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not be transferable other than
by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable
during the Participant's lifetime only by Participant or by such Permitted
Transferee.

         SECTION 13. AMENDMENT OR SUBSTITUTION OF AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN. The
terms of any outstanding Award under this Plan may be amended or modified from
time to time by the Committee in its discretion in any manner that it deems
appropriate (including, but not limited to, acceleration of the date of exercise
of any Award and/or payments thereunder) if the Committee could grant such
amended or modified Award under the terms of this Plan at the time of such
amendment or modification; provided that no such amendment or modification shall
adversely affect in a material manner any right of a Participant under the Award
without his written consent, unless the Committee determines in its discretion
that there have occurred or are about to occur significant changes in the
Participant's position, duties or responsibilities, or significant changes in
economic, legislative, regulatory, tax, accounting or cost/benefit conditions
that are determined by the Committee in its discretion to have or to be expected
to have a substantial effect on the performance of the Company, or any
affiliate, division or department thereof, on this Plan or on any Award under
this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit holders of Awards under
this Plan to surrender outstanding Awards in order to exercise or realize the
rights under other Awards, or in exchange for the grant of new Awards, or
require holders of Awards to surrender outstanding Awards as a condition
precedent to the grant of new Awards under this Plan.

         SECTION 14. TERMINATION OF A PARTICIPANT. For all purposes under this
Plan, the Committee shall determine whether a Participant has terminated
employment with, or the performance of services for, the Company; provided,
however, an absence or leave approved by the Company, to the extent permitted by
applicable provisions of the Code, shall not be considered an interruption of
employment or performance of services for any purpose under this Plan.

         SECTION 15. DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. If any change in the
outstanding Common Shares of the Company occurs by reason of any stock split of
or stock dividend on the Common Shares, then, except as otherwise determined by
the Committee, the terms of any outstanding Awards and the number of Common
Shares available for Awards shall be equitably adjusted. If any change in the
outstanding Common Shares occurs by reason of any split-up, split-off, spin-off,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, rights offering, reorganization,
combination or exchange of shares, sale by the Company of all of its assets,
distribution to shareholders (other than a stock dividend or a normal cash
dividend on the Common Shares), or other extraordinary or unusual event (other
than a stock split of the Common Stock as provided above), then the Committee
may determine, in its discretion, to terminate all outstanding Awards
immediately prior to the consummation of any such event, or make an equitable
adjustment in the

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

terms of any outstanding Award and/or the number of Common Shares available for
Awards. Any such termination or adjustment made by the Committee shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. Unless otherwise provided
by the Committee, all outstanding Awards shall terminate immediately prior to
the consummation of any dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

         SECTION 16. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY BY PARTICIPANT. A Participant
may name a beneficiary to receive any payment to which he may be entitled with
respect to any Award under this Plan in the event of his death, on a written
form to be provided by and filed with the Committee, and in a manner determined
by the Committee in its discretion (a "BENEFICIARY"). The Committee reserves the
right to review and approve Beneficiary designations. A Participant may change
his Beneficiary from time to time in the same manner, unless such Participant
has made an irrevocable designation. Any designation of a Beneficiary under this
Plan (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be
controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise, as determined
by the Committee in its discretion. If no designated Beneficiary survives the
Participant and is living on the date on which any amount becomes payable to
such a Participant's Beneficiary, such payment will be made to the legal
representatives of the Participant's estate, and the term "BENEFICIARY" as used
in this Plan shall be deemed to include such person or persons. If there are any
questions as to the legal right of any Beneficiary to receive a distribution
under this Plan, the Committee in its discretion may determine that the amount
in question be paid to the legal representatives of the estate of the
Participant, in which event the Company, the Board, the Committee, the
Designated Administrator (if any), and the members thereof, will have no further
liability to anyone with respect to such amount.

         SECTION 17. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. If the Committee determines that such
action is advisable, the Company may assist any Participant in obtaining
financing from the Company (or under any program of the Company approved
pursuant to applicable law), or from a bank or other third party, on such terms
as are determined by the Committee, and in such amount as is required to
accomplish the purposes of this Plan, including, but not limited to, to permit
the exercise of an Award, the participation therein, and/or the payment of any
taxes with respect thereto. Such assistance may take any form that the Committee
deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, a direct loan from the
Company, a guarantee of the obligation by the Company or the maintenance by the
Company of deposits with such bank or third party.

         SECTION 18.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

                  (a) Any proceeds from Awards shall constitute general funds of
         the Company.

                  (b) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
         fractional shares may be delivered under an Award, or in lieu thereof a
         cash or other adjustment may be made as determined by the Committee in
         its discretion.

                  (c) No Eligible Person or other person shall have any claim or
         right to be granted an Award under this Plan. Determinations made by
         the Committee under this Plan need not be uniform and may be made
         selectively among Eligible Persons under this Plan, whether or not such
         Eligible Persons are similarly situated. Neither this Plan nor any
         action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Eligible Person
         any right to continue to be employed by or perform services for the
         Company, and the right to terminate the employment of or performance of
         services by Eligible Persons at any time and for any reason is
         specifically reserved.

                  (d) No Participant or other person shall have any right with
         respect to this Plan, the Common Shares reserved for issuance under
         this Plan or in any Award, contingent or otherwise, until written
         evidence of the Award shall have been delivered to the recipient and
         all the terms,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

         conditions and provisions of this Plan and the Award applicable to such
         recipient (and each person claiming under or through him) have been
         met.

                  (e) No Common Shares, Other Securities or property, or other
         forms of payment shall be issued hereunder with respect to any Award
         unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance
         will be in compliance with applicable law and any applicable rules of
         any stock exchange or other market quotation system on which Common
         Shares are listed.

                  (f) It is the intent of the Company that this Plan comply in
         all respects with Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) with respect to Awards
         granted to executive officers of the Company, that any ambiguities or
         inconsistencies in construction of this Plan be interpreted to give
         effect to such intention and that if any provision of this Plan is
         found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m), such
         provision shall be deemed null and void with respect to Awards granted
         to executive officers of the Company to the extent required to permit
         such Awards to comply with Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m). It is also
         the intent of the Company that this Plan comply in all respects with
         the provisions of the Code providing favorable treatment to Incentive
         Stock Options, that any ambiguities or inconsistencies in construction
         of this Plan be interpreted to give effect to such intention and that
         if any provision of this Plan is found not to be in compliance with the
         Incentive Stock Option provisions of the Code, such provision shall be
         deemed null and void with respect to Incentive Stock Options granted to
         employees of the Company to the extent required to permit such
         Incentive Stock Options to receive favorable treatment under the Code.

                  (g) The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
         payment made under this Plan any federal, state, local or foreign
         income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to
         such payment. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company
         to issue Common Shares, Other Securities or property, or other forms of
         payment, or any combination thereof, upon exercise, settlement or
         payment of any Award under this Plan, that the Participant (or any
         Beneficiary or person entitled to act) pay to the Company, upon its
         demand, such amount as may be required by the Company for the purpose
         of satisfying any liability to withhold federal, state, local or
         foreign income or other taxes. If the amount requested is not paid, the
         Company may refuse to issue Common Shares, Other Securities or
         property, or other forms of payment, or any combination thereof.
         Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee
         may, in its discretion, permit an Eligible Person (or any Beneficiary
         or person entitled to act) to elect to pay a portion or all of the
         amount requested by the Company for such taxes with respect to such
         Award, at such time and in such manner as the Committee shall deem to
         be appropriate (including, but not limited to, by authorizing the
         Company to withhold, or agreeing to surrender to the Company on or
         about the date such tax liability is determinable, Common Shares, Other
         Securities or property, or other forms of payment, or any combination
         thereof, owned by such person or a portion of such forms of payment
         that would otherwise be distributed, or have been distributed, as the
         case may be, pursuant to such Award to such person, having a Fair
         Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes).

                  (h) The expenses of this Plan shall be borne by the Company;
         provided, however, the Company may recover from a Participant or his
         Beneficiary, heirs or assigns any and all damages, fees, expenses and
         costs incurred by the Company arising out of any actions taken by a
         Participant in breach of this Plan or any agreement evidencing such
         Participant's Award.

                  (i) This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be
         required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
         segregation of assets to assure the payment of any

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         Award under this Plan, and rights to the payment of Awards shall be no
         greater than the rights of the Company's general creditors.

                  (j) By accepting any Award or other benefit under this Plan,
         each Participant and each person claiming under or through him shall be
         conclusively deemed to have indicated his acceptance and ratification
         of, and consent to, any action taken under this Plan by the Company,
         the Board, the Committee or the Designated Administrator (if
         applicable).

                  (k) The appropriate officers of the Company shall cause to be
         filed any reports, returns or other information regarding Awards
         hereunder of any Common Shares issued pursuant hereto as may be
         required by applicable law and any applicable rules of any stock
         exchange or other market quotation system on which Common Shares are
         listed.

                  (l) The validity, construction, interpretation, administration
         and effect of this Plan, and of its rules and regulations, and rights
         relating to this Plan and to Awards granted under this Plan, shall be
         governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of
         the State of Colorado.

                  (m) Records of the Company shall be conclusive for all
         purposes under this Plan or any Award, unless determined by the
         Committee to be incorrect.

                  (n) If any provision of this Plan or any Award is held to be
         illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall
         not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan or any Award, but such
         provision shall be fully severable, and this Plan or Award, as
         applicable, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
         invalid provision had never been included in this Plan or Award, as
         applicable.

                  (o) The terms of this Plan shall govern all Awards under this
         Plan and in no event shall the Committee have the power to grant any
         Award under this Plan that is contrary to any of the provisions of this
         Plan.

                  (p) For purposes of interpretation of this Plan, the masculine
         pronoun includes the feminine and the singular includes the plural
         wherever appropriate.

         SECTION 19. PLAN AMENDMENT OR SUSPENSION. The Board at any time, and
from time to time, may amend or suspend the Plan. However, except as provided in
Section 15 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, no amendment
shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the
extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section
422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing
requirements. No amendment of this Plan shall adversely affect in a material
manner any right of any Participant with respect to any Award previously granted
without such Participant's written consent, except as permitted under Section
13.

         SECTION 20. PLAN TERMINATION. This Plan shall terminate upon the
earlier of the following dates or events to occur:

                  (a) upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating
         this Plan; or

                  (b) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date; provided,
         however, that the Board may, prior to such date, extend the term of
         this Plan for an additional period of up to five years for the grant of
         Awards other than Incentive Stock Options. No termination of this Plan
         shall materially alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of
         any person, without his consent,

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         under any Award previously granted under this Plan, except that
         subsequent to termination of this Plan, the Committee may make
         amendments or modifications permitted under Section 13.

         SECTION 21. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan shall be effective, and Awards
may be granted under this Plan, on or after the Effective Date.

         any time the Board may designate itself as the Committee or designate
         itself to administer certain of the Committee's authority under the

                                      LEASE

         1. PARTIES. This Lease, dated, for reference purposes only, January 7,
2002 is made by and between EASTSIDE PROPERTIES, LLC (herein called "Landlord")
and COLORADO MEDTECH, INC. (herein called "Tenant").

         2. PREMISES. Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby
leases from Landlord that certain industrial space (herein called "Premises")
indicated on Exhibit A attached hereto and by reference thereto made a part
hereof, said Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease, to have an
area of approximately 103,150 square feet (including the Common Areas, as
hereinafter defined) and consisting of the entirety of that certain building
known as the EASTSIDE BUILDING ("Building"), located at 4801 N. 63rd Street,
Boulder, Colorado 80301 (the "Property"). Said Lease is subject to the terms,
covenants and conditions herein set forth and the Landlord and Tenant covenant
as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each
and all of their respective covenants and conditions to be kept and performed
and that this Lease is made upon the condition of said performance. "Common
Areas" shall mean those portions of the Building which are made available on a
non-exclusive basis for general use in common of tenants, their employees,
agents and invitees. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to change
the location or character of and to make alterations of or additions to the
Common Areas, and to repair and reconstruct the Common Areas. So long as Tenant
leases all of the Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive use of all Common
Areas in and about the Building. The Premises shall include all personal
property located in or attached to the Premises, including, but not limited to,
the buss bar, employee lockers (attached or not), fire extinguishers, all
furniture, fixtures and office equipment, including, but not limited to all
computers (CPU's and monitors) except the computer equipment required to
continue the current owner's operations in Ireland, telephone system (Rolm 9200
CBX, switchboard and handsets), desks (including the reception desk at the
entrance to the Premises), chairs, cubicles, bookshelves, tables, credenzas,
file-storage racks on the mezzanine and artwork (the "Personal Property").
Landlord, Tenant and the current owner shall compile a detailed list of the
Personal Property, which shall include the above. In the event Landlord fails to
acquire any of the Personal Property pursuant to the Original Contract (as
hereinafter defined) and receives a reduction in the purchase price for the
Property pursuant to the Original Contract, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, or the
Rent shall be reduced at the rate of $13.22 per $1,000 in value for lost
Personal Property. Tenant shall not be entitled to challenge the value received
by Landlord for lost Personal Property so long as Tenant's valuation of the lost
Personal Property does not differ from Landlord's valuation by an amount equal
to or greater than $20,000.00.

         3. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for ten (10) years. Subject to
Substantial Completion of the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter, this lease
shall commence on the 1st day of July, 2002 ("Commencement Date"), and end on
the last day of the 120th calendar month following the Commencement Date, but,
unless earlier terminated as provided herein, no earlier than the 30th day of
June, 2012 (the "Term").

         4. POSSESSION.

                  a. Subject to Tenant Delay as set forth in the Work Letter and
delays due to Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined), if the Landlord cannot
deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant at the Commencement Date, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable, the expiration date of the above Term shall
be extended, to ten (10) years after the end of the month during which Landlord
delivers possession to Tenant and all Rent shall be abated during the period
between the Commencement Date and the time when Landlord delivers possession and
Landlord shall pay all penalties (including any holdover penalty amount)
incurred by Tenant at Tenant's current leased premises until such time as
Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 4(a), in the event that Landlord has
not delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant, for any reason whatsoever,
on or prior to ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date set forth in
Paragraph 3 above, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Landlord and neither party shall thereafter have any obligations or liability
under this Lease, except Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all out of pocket
architectural and engineering fees and expenses Tenant incurred in connection
with the design and build-out of the Premises (but, not to exceed $25,000).
Nothing herein to the contrary shall relieve Landlord of its obligation to use
its best efforts to complete the Tenant Improvements and to deliver possession
of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement

                                       1
<PAGE>

Date set forth in Paragraph 3 above. In the event that this Lease is terminated
pursuant to this Paragraph 4(a), Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the
security deposit and the first month's Base Rent prepaid pursuant to Paragraph
5(a) below. As used herein, "Force Majeure" shall mean acts of God, strike,
riot, war, weather, or any other reason beyond the reasonable control of the
Landlord; provided, however, that prior to Landlord being entitled to any
extension due to a delay, Landlord shall bear the burden of establishing such
delay.

                  b. So long as such occupancy is authorized under Applicable
Law (as hereinafter defined) and does not unreasonably interfere with any
remaining build-out of the Premises, Landlord shall permit Tenant to occupy the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all
the provisions of the Lease, including the payment of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Operating Expenses, as provided herein; provided, however, Tenant shall not be
obligated to pay Base Rent and Occupancy Improvement Rent until the Commencement
Date. Said early possession shall not advance the termination date herein above
provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord permits
Tenant to enter the Premises prior to completion of the Tenant Improvements
solely for the purposes of performing Tenant's pre-opening activities, Tenant
shall not be obligated to pay Rent while Tenant is performing such pre-opening
activities. Except as provided above, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Rent at
such time as the City of Boulder completes its final inspection of the Tenant
Improvements and Tenant is authorized to occupy the Premises pursuant to a
certificate of occupancy or other applicable governmental sign off.

         5. RENT.

                  a. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as basic rental, without
prior notice or demand, the sum of SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND THIRTY-NINE AND No/100
Dollars ($64,039.00), on or before the first day of the first full calendar
month of the Term hereof and a like sum on or before the first day of each and
every successive calendar month thereafter during the Term hereof ("Base Rent"),
except that the first month's Base Rent shall be paid upon the execution hereof.
Rent for any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one (1) month
shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment herein, based upon the
number of days such Rent is due. Said Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without
deduction or offset except as set forth herein, in lawful money of the United
States of America, which shall be legal tender at the time of payment at 3434
47th Street, Suite 220, Boulder, Colorado 80301, or to such other person or at
such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. In
addition to payment of Base Rent, subject to adjustment as set forth in
Paragraph 32.a below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Occupancy Improvement
Rent monthly in the amount of TEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO AND No/100
Dollars ($10,572.00).

                  b. On the first day of the month following the end of a Lease
Year(as hereinafter defined) Landlord may increase the Base Rent payable for the
subsequent twelve (12) month period. The increase shall be measured by the
increase in the Consumer Price Index, as described below, but shall not exceed
three percent (3%) of the Base Rent owing for the immediately preceding year
("the 3% Cap"). "Lease Year" shall mean each twelve (12) month period beginning
with the Commencement Date, or any anniversary thereof, and ending on the
preceding date one (1) year later. The following definitions and methods shall
be used to calculate the increases in basic rental under this paragraph:

                           (1) "Consumer Price Index" shall mean the semi-annual
indexes of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Denver-Boulder,
Colorado (All items; 1982-84 equals 100) issued by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or any successor agency of the United
States that issues such indexes or any successor index.

                           (2) "Initial Consumer Price Index" shall mean the
Consumer Price Index published for the nearest calendar period preceding the
Commencement Date of this Lease.

                           (3) "Latest Consumer Price Index" shall mean the
Consumer Price Index published for the nearest calendar period preceding the
first day on which an increase under this Lease is to be effective.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                           (4) "Previous Consumer Price Index" shall mean the
Consumer Price Index published for the nearest calendar period preceding the
first day on which the previous increase under this Lease was effective.

                           (5) The first increase will be calculated by
multiplying the basic rental by a fraction, with the numerator being the Latest
Consumer Price Index and the denominator being the Initial Consumer Price Index.

                           (6) Each subsequent increase will be calculated by
multiplying the then current basic rental by a fraction, with the numerator
being the Latest Consumer Price Index and the denominator being the Previous
Consumer Price Index.

                           (7) To the extent that the calculation under
subparagraphs (5) and (6) above exceed the 3% Cap, such excess ("Excess") shall
be preserved and carried forward to subsequent years until utilized. All or part
of the Excess may be added to the amount calculated under subparagraph (6) above
for any subsequent year, subject to the 3% Cap.

                           (8) If the Consumer Price Index is discontinued,
Landlord will designate an alternative comparable index to be used in
calculating the increase in the basic rental under this Lease.

                           (9) Tenant will not be entitled to a credit for any
decrease in the Consumer Price Index except to the extent that it shall be
off-set against any Excess carried forward under the provisions of paragraph
5(b)(7).

                  c. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, the Base
Rent due under the terms hereof shall at no time be less than SIXTY-FOUR
THOUSAND THIRTY-NINE AND No/100 Dollars ($64,039.00) per month.

         6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant has deposited with Landlord, upon the
execution of this Lease, the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND AND No/100 Dollars
($50,000.00). Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease
to be kept and performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults
with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to the
provisions relating to the payment of rent, Landlord may (but shall not be
required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this security deposit for
the payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any
amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of said
deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written
demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore
the security deposit to its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall
be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this
security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security
deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's
option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration
of the Lease term. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest in this
Lease, Landlord shall transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in interest.

         7. OPERATING EXPENSES. For the purposes of this Article, "Operating
Expenses" means all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of every kind

Expenses payable by Tenant with each payment of Base Rent, which shall be based
upon a best estimate of such expenses if no record of actual expenses for the
prior year are available. Landlord shall provide to Tenant on or before the
first day of March of each year thereafter an itemized statement of the prior
year's Operating Expenses payable by Tenant hereunder and advise Tenant of any
increase in Operating Expenses, but failure by Landlord to give such statement
by said date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to require
an increase in Operating Expenses. The total amount of actual Operating Expenses
for the prior year shall be used as an estimate for current year and this amount
shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly Base Rent payment, an
amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of such estimate. Subsequent
installments shall be payable concurrently with the regular monthly Base Rent
payments for the balance of that calendar year and shall continue until the next

                                       5
<PAGE>

year's statement is rendered. If actual Operating Expenses are more or less than
estimated, then upon receipt of a statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay a
lump sum equal to such total increase with the next regular monthly Rent payment
or receive a credit against said Rent payment. Tenant or its representative
shall have the right to inspect Landlord's books and records relating to the
Operating Expenses during normal business hours. In the event Tenant's
inspection reveals an error of five percent (5%) or more in the calculation of
Operating Expenses and/or charges to Tenant, the reasonable cost of such
inspection shall be paid by Landlord.

                  Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the
Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's share of Operating
Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately
pay any increase due over the estimated expenses paid and, conversely, any
overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be immediately
rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

         8. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises for administrative office,
research and development facilities, diagnostics laboratories,
assembly/packaging, manufacture of precision or electronic
instruments/parts/tools, repair, maintenance, sales and service of commodities
manufactured at the Premises, warehouse, distribution and wholesale of
commodities manufactured at the Premises, uses incidental thereto, and for other
lawful purposes and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any
other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall have
the right to use the Premises for the permitted uses seven (7) days per week,
twenty-four (24) hours per day.

                  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase
the existing rate or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any
of its contents, or cause cancellation of any insurance policy covering said
Building or any part thereof or any of its contents. In the event the Building
is no longer only occupied by Tenant, then Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will, in any way, obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or
injure or annoy them. Tenant will not use or allow the Premises to be used for
any immoral or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

         9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises, which will, in any way, conflict
with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement
("Applicable Laws") now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or
promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with
all Applicable Laws now in force or which may hereafter be in force, and with
the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar
bodies now or hereafter constituted, relating to Tenant's specific use or
occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or
affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. Landlord represents and covenants
that as of the Commencement Date, to the best of Landlord's knowledge, the
Building and the Premises are in compliance with all Applicable Laws. The
judgment against Tenant, whether the Landlord be a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any Applicable Law shall be conclusive of that fact as
between the Landlord and Tenant.

         10. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Tenant shall not make or suffer to be
made any alterations, additions or improvements (collectively, "Alterations") to
or of the Premises or any part thereof which requires any modification to any
structural or foundation component of the Premises without the written consent
of Landlord first had and obtained, which will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and any alterations, additions or improvements to or of
said Premises, including, but not limited to, wall covering, paneling and
built-in cabinet work, but excepting movable furniture and trade fixtures,
shall, on the expiration of the term, become a part of the realty and belong to
the Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises. In the event Landlord
consents to the making of any Alterations to the Premises by Tenant, the same
shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and any contractor or
person selected by Tenant to make the same, must first be approved of in writing
by the Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Landlord shall, at the time it consents to the making of any
Alterations, notify Tenant in writing, whether Tenant shall be allowed to leave
such Alterations in the Premises or be required to remove such Alterations from
the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof. In
the case of Landlord's requiring the removal of such Alterations, Tenant shall,
upon the written demand by the Landlord,

                                       6
<PAGE>

at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence, remove
such Alterations which have been designated by the Landlord to be removed, and
repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

         11. REPAIRS.

                  a. Subject to Tenant's right to inspect the Premises prior to
occupancy thereof and submit a "punch list" to Landlord in accordance with
Paragraph 32.b of this Lease and to latent defects, by taking possession of the
Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good,
sanitary order, condition and repair. Subject to Landlord's maintenance, repair
and replacement obligations set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof in good
condition and repair, damage thereto from causes beyond the reasonable control
of Tenant and ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall, upon the expiration
or sooner termination of this Lease hereof, surrender the Premises to the
Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond
the reasonable control of Tenant excepted. Except as specifically provided in
this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel,
improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof, and the
parties hereto affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant
respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building except as specifically
herein set forth.

                  b. Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions
of the Building, including the roof, basic plumbing, air conditioning, heating,
and electrical and sprinkler systems installed or furnished by Landlord, and any
latent defects thereof, in good order, condition and repair, unless such
maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by the act, neglect,
fault or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or
invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such
maintenance and repairs. The cost of all such repairs (except repairs of
structural defects) shall be included in Operating Expenses as provided in
Article 7 hereof. In the event Landlord fails to perform its maintenance or
repair obligations hereunder, Tenant shall notify Landlord to do such acts as
are required to fulfill its maintenance and repair obligations. In the event
Landlord fails to commence such work promptly upon demand by Tenant, and
diligently prosecute it to completion, or in the event of an emergency, then
Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be required, to do such acts and
expend such funds as are reasonably required to perform such work. In the event
that any of such repairs, maintenance or replacement was not properly chargeable
to Tenant as an Operating Expense, or should have been paid through the reserve
account established by Landlord, then upon completion of such work, Landlord
shall reimburse to Tenant all necessary and reasonable costs thereof within 10
days following receipt of an invoice from Tenant. If Landlord fails to reimburse
Tenant within such 10 day period, interest shall accrue on the unpaid invoiced
costs at the rate of 4% over the Prime Rate then being charged by Colorado
Business Bank of Boulder, or its successor, and Tenant shall be entitled to
offset such unpaid amounts against future Rent. Except as provided herein or as
otherwise set forth in this Lease, and subject to the provisions of Article 21,
there shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of
any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of
any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or
the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.

         12. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property in which the
Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require, at
Landlord's sole option, that Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, a lien and completion bond or other security reasonably
acceptable to Landlord in an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times any
and all estimated cost of Alterations in the Premises, to insure Landlord
against any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure
completion of the work. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and save
Landlord harmless of and from all liability, loss, damage, costs, or expenses,
including attorneys' fees, on account of any claims of any nature whatsoever
including claims or liens of laborers or materialmen or others for work
performed for or materials or supplies furnished to Tenant or persons claiming
under Tenant. Should Tenant receive any notice of intent to file a lien, Tenant
shall deliver a copy of such notice to Landlord and shall promptly resolve the
claim.

         13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Except as expressly provided below,
Tenant shall not either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this

                                       7
<PAGE>

Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or any
part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other
person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to
occupy or use the said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written
consent of Landlord first had and obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and a consent to one assignment,
subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another
person. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void,
and shall, at the option of the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant may, upon written notice
to Landlord, but without the consent of Landlord, (i) transfer (by assignment or
sublease, in whole or in part) this Lease to any parent or affiliate of Tenant
or to a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenant, or (ii) transfer (by assignment or
sublease, in whole or in part) this Lease to any person or entity acquiring, by
asset or stock purchase, merger, consolidation or liquidation, all or
substantially all of Tenant's assets or voting stock, provided that such person
or entity assumes in writing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease
("Permitted Transfer").

                  If Tenant realizes any rent or other consideration under any
such assignment, subletting or occupancy (other than a Permitted Transfer) in
excess of the Base Rent and other sums payable hereunder, after amortization of
the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant for leasing commissions and leasehold
improvements in connection with such assignment, subletting or occupancy over
the term of such assignment, subletting or occupancy, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord 50% of the excess Base Rent promptly upon receipt by Tenant. Landlord
may charge a reasonable fee not to exceed $1,000 as part of its consent to any
assignment, sublease, or encumbrance.

         14. HOLD HARMLESS. Subject to Article 15, Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising from Tenant's
use of the Premises for the conduct of its business or from any activity, work,
or other thing done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the
Building, and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and
from any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of
any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease,
or arising from any act or negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent,
employee, guest, or invitee of Tenant, and from all and against all costs,
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any
such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and, in any case, action
or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant,
upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's expense. Subject to
Article 15, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against and from
any and all claims arising in the Premises, the Building or any part thereo for
the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or other thing done,
permitted or suffered by the Landlord in or about the Premises or Building, and
shall further indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against and from any and all
claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
on Landlord's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising
from any act or negligence of the Landlord, or any officer, agent, employee,
guest, or invitee of Landlord, and from all and against all costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or
any action or proceeding brought thereon, and, in any case, action or proceeding
be brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon notice
from Tenant shall defend the same at Landlord's expense. Tenant, as a material
part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises, from any cause
other than Landlord's negligence or willful acts. Landlord or its agents shall
not be liable for any damage to property entrusted to employees of the Building,
nor for loss or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury
to or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling
plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of
the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein or from the
roof, street or subsurface or from any other place resulting from dampness or
any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of
Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Landlord or its agents shall not be
liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal hereditament, loss
of business by Tenant. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of
fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or in
the fixtures or equipment.

         15. SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their
respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss, damage or claim
under any fire, extended coverage and other property insurance policies actually
maintained by such party or required to be maintained by such party

                                       8
<PAGE>

under the terms of this Lease. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements,
if required by their insurer to evidence compliance with the aforementioned
waiver.

         16. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and
keep in force during the Term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public
liability insurance with limits not less than $2,000,000, combined single limit,
insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership,
use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto,
as their interests may appear. The limit of said insurance shall not, however,
limit the liability of the Tenant hereunder. Tenant may carry said insurance
under a blanket policy, providing, however, said insurance by Tenant shall have
a Landlord's protective liability endorsement attached thereto. If Tenant shall
fail to procure and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be
required to, procure and maintain same, but at the expense of Tenant after
notifying Tenant and allowing ten (10) business days. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord prior to occupancy of the Premises certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of such insurance with named insured as their interests
may appear. No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage
except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Landlord shall
obtain and keep in force during the Term of this Lease, comprehensive public
liability insurance on the Building, workers' compensation insurance in
compliance with Applicable Laws and special form property insurance or all risk
property insurance, in the amount of the full replacement value, on the shell
and core of the Building, on the Premises, on all finish items and fixtures in
the Premises, whether installed pursuant to the Work Letter or otherwise, and on
the Property, from such companies and on such terms and conditions, including
loss of rental insurance, as customarily maintained by landlords for other
commercial buildings in the same geographical area as the Building. Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant prior to occupancy of the Premises certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with named insured as
their interests may appear. The costs of Landlord's insurance shall be included
in Operating Expenses.

         17. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Tenant shall contract directly with Xcel
Energy ("Xcel") to provide gas and electric service to the Premises, and shall
pay Xcel for such service and Landlord shall not include any fee or charge for
such service in Operating Expenses.

         18. PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before
delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable
during the Term hereof upon all Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment,
furniture, fixtures and personal property located in the Premises; except that
which has been paid for by Landlord, and is the standard of the Building. In the
event any or all of Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture,
fixtures and personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the Building,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth
the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant's property which statement shall
include a copy of the tax bill.

         19. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply
with the non-discriminatory rules and regulations that Landlord shall, from time
to time, promulgate. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to make all
reasonable modifications to said rules. The additions and modifications to those
rules shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant.
Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any said
rules by any other tenants or occupants. A copy of the current rules and
regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit B. The rules and regulations numbers
1, 2, 7, 11, 13 and 14 shall not be applicable to Tenant so long as Tenant
leases all of the Building. In addition, the first sentence of rule 3 shall not
be applicable and the second sentence of rule 3 shall be qualified to provide
that Tenant shall be entitled to go on the roof or into any mechanical system as
provided pursuant to the maintenance obligations or pursuant to any rights
granted to Tenant under this Lease; the first sentence of rule 8 shall not be
applicable and the second sentence of rule 8 shall be limited to discarding
anything outside of the entrance door; rule 9 shall be qualified to allow Tenant
to keep combustible fluids and materials in the Premises so long as it does not
result in any violation of Applicable Laws.

         20. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or
any part after the expiration of the Term hereof, without the express written
consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month-to-month at a
rental in the amount of one and one-half times the last monthly Base Rent, plus
all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to
a month-to-month tenancy.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves, and shall during normal
business hours upon reasonable written notice to Tenant and subject to Tenant's
security requirements, as herein defined, have the right to enter the Premises,
inspect the same, supply janitorial service and any other service to be provided
by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit said Premises to prospective
purchasers or during the last six months of the Term to prospective tenants, to
post notices of non-responsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises
and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part that Landlord
may deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of Rent and may for that
purpose in connection with any work required to be performed by Landlord under
this Lease, Landlord may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where
reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always
providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and
further providing that the business of the Tenant shall not be interfered with
unreasonably. Tenant, in favor of Landlord, only hereby waives any claim for
damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's
business, any loss of occupancy of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned
thereby unless caused by negligence or willful acts of Landlord. For each of the
aforesaid 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 files and locked documentation room (or other
acknowledged secure areas), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all
means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in
order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant except for any
failure to exercise due care for Tenant's property. 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.

         22. RECONSTRUCTION. In the event the Premises, or the Building of which
the Premises are a part, are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended
coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the same, at Landlord's
expense (except for any deductible), to substantially the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage; and this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect, except that the Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate
reduction of the Rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate
reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and the making of such
repairs shall materially interfere with the business carried on by the Tenant in
the Premises.

                  In the event the Premises or the Building of which the
Premises are a part are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils
covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, then Landlord shall forthwith
repair the same within one hundred and fifty (150) days of casualty, provided
the extent of the destruction be less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then
full replacement cost of the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are
a part. In the event the destruction of the Premises or the Building is to an
extent greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost, then
both Tenant and Landlord shall have the option to give notice to the other at
any time within thirty (30) days after such damage terminating this Lease as of
the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30)
and no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. In the event
of giving such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in
the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the
Rent, reduced by a proportionate amount, based upon the extent, if any, to which
such damage materially interfered with the business carried on by the Tenant in
the Premises, shall be paid up to date of said such termination. If neither
Landlord nor Tenant terminates, then Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the
damage, at Landlord's expense, to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to such damage; and this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, except that the Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of
the Rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be
based upon the extent to which the damage and the making of such repairs shall
materially interfere with the business carried on by the Tenant in the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord
shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the
Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Article
occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease or any
extension thereof and in the event of such casualty during the last twelve (12)
months of the Term of this Lease either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right
to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party within
thirty (30) days of such casualty.

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage
by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any panels,
decoration, office fixtures, railings, floor coverings, partitions, or any other
property installed in the Premises by Tenant unless covered by Landlord's
insurance as part of the Building or through an endorsement to Landlord's
insurance.

                  Except for the abatement of Rent as provided in this Article
22, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord
for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, or Tenant's
personal property, unless caused by Landlord, or, subject to Article 21, any
compensation or damages for inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such
damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

         23. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease:

                  a. The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant,
without payment of Rent.

                  b. The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any
other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
thereof by Landlord to Tenant.

                  c. The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
the Tenant, other than described in Article 23.b above, where such failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by
Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is
such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.

                  d. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of
a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition of reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty [60] days); or
the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease,
where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

                  e. If Landlord is in default in the performance of any
obligation under this Lease on the part of Landlord to be performed and such
default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant's written notice
to Landlord specifying the nature of the default, then Tenant may exercise any
right or remedy it may possess at law or equity, which is not otherwise waived
in this Lease. If the default set forth in Tenant's notice cannot reasonably be
cured within thirty (30) days, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default if (i) Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that it will cure the
default, (ii) commences to cure the default within such thirty (30)-day period,
and (iii) proceeds diligently and in good faith thereafter to cure such default
and does cure such default within a reasonable time.

         24. REMEDIES IN DEFAULT. In the event of any such default or breach by
Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand,
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of a right or remedy which
Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach, pursuant to Applicable
Laws and subject to Landlord's agreement to use reasonable efforts to mitigate
its damages:

                  a. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful and peaceful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and
Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In
such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages
incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not limited
to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting,
including necessary and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, any real
estate commission actually paid;

                                       11
<PAGE>

the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the
amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of
such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that
Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing
commission paid by Landlord and applicable to the unexpired Term of the Lease.
Unpaid installments of Rent or other sums shall bear interest from the date due
at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum. In the event Tenant shall have
abandoned the Premises without payment of Rent, Landlord shall have the option
of (a) taking possession of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the amount
specified in this paragraph, or (b) proceeding under the provisions of the
following Article 24.b.

                  b. Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

                  c. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Landlord under the laws or judicial decision of the State in which the Premises
are located.

         25. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority
under the power of eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at
its option, to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party,
and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income, rent, award, or any
interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such
public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant shall have no claim to such
award; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Tenant from
recovering from any award to the extent its interests are compensable. If either
less than or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the premises is taken, or
neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, the rental thereafter to
be paid shall be proportionately reduced. If more than ten percent (10%) of the
Building other than the Premises may be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall
have the right at its option to terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days
written notice to Tenant and shall be entitled to the entire award as above
provided.

         26. ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. Landlord and Tenant shall at any time and from
time to time upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior written notice
from the other party execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other party a
statement, in writing, (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease as so modified, is in full force and effect), and the
date to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (b)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's or Landlord's knowledge, as
appropriate, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party hereunder, or
specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
real property of which the Premises are a part.

         27. PARKING. Tenant shall have the right to use all of the parking
facilities of the Building. Landlord represents and covenants that as of the
Commencement Date, to the best of Landlord's knowledge, the parking facilities
of the Building are in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Landlord covenants
and agrees that so long as Tenant leases all of the Building, Tenant shall have
the exclusive right to utilize all parking spaces on the Property.

         28. AUTHORITY OF PARTIES.

                  a. Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each
individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and
warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf
of the corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the board of
directors of said corporation or in accordance with the bylaws of said
corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance
with its terms.

                  b. Limited Partnerships. If the Landlord herein is a limited

on Landlord shall be limited to the assets of the limited liability company, and
furthermore, Tenant expressly waives any and all rights to proceed against

behalf of Landlord represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on behalf of Landlord, in accordance with a duly adopted
resolution of the members of Landlord or in accordance with the operating
agreement of Landlord, and that this Lease is binding upon Landlord in
accordance with its terms.

         29. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  a. Plats and Riders. Clauses, plats, exhibits and riders, if
any, signed by the Landlord and the Tenant and endorsed on or affixed to this
Lease are a part hereof.

                  b. Waiver. The waiver by either Landlord or Tenant of any
term, covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any
other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of
Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding
breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than
the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless
of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance
of such Rent.

                  c. Notices. All notices and demands which may or are to be
required or permitted to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall
be in writing. All notices and demands by the Landlord to the Tenant shall be

time, designate in a notice to the Tenant.

                  d. Joint Obligation. If there be more than one Tenant the
obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenants shall be joint and several.

                  e. Marginal Headings. The marginal headings and Article titles
to the Articles of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no
effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

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

contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the
heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

                  h. Recordation. Neither the Landlord nor Tenant shall record
this Lease or a short form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent
of the other party.

                  i. Quiet Possession. Upon Tenant paying the Rent reserved

the provisions of this Lease.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  j. Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment
by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon
Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or of a sum due from Tenant shall not be
received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) business days after
said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to
five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord
will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late
charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord agrees to provide
telephonic notice (but no more than once during any calendar year) to the C.F.O.
of Tenant of any default in timely payment of Rent and two (2) business days to
cure such default before imposing this late charge.

                  k. Prior Agreements. This Lease contains all of the agreements
of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this
Lease, and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matters
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. This Lease shall not be effective or binding
on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.

                  l. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any action or proceeding
brought by either party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including the fees of its
attorneys in such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge
reasonable as attorneys' fees.

                  m. Sale of Premises by Landlord. In the event of any sale of
the Building, and assignment of Tenant's Security Deposit to Purchaser, Landlord
shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any
and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease
arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation
of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the
Premises, shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or
their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, to
have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and
obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.

                  n. Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. Upon written
request of the Landlord, Tenant will, in writing, subordinate its rights
hereunder to the lien of any first mortgage or first deed of trust to any bank,
insurance company or other lending institution, now or hereafter in force
against the land and Building of which the Premises are a part, and upon any
buildings hereafter placed upon the land of which the Premises are a part, and
to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.

                           In the event any proceedings are brought for
foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any
mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord covering the Premises, the Tenant
shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize
such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.

                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Tenant shall only be obligated under this Paragraph 29(n) if such bank,
insurance company or other lending institution or purchaser upon any such
foreclosure or sale (a) recognizes Tenant's interest under this Lease, (b)
agrees that, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods, not to disturb Tenant's use or possession of the
Premises, and (c) executes and delivers a commercially reasonable subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement.

                  o. Name. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or of
the development in which the Building is situated for any purpose other than as
an address of the business to be conducted by the Tenant in the Premises.

                                       14
<PAGE>

                  p. Separability. Any provision of this Lease which shall prove
to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any
other provision hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force and
effect.

                  q. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall
be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other
remedies at law or in equity.

                  r. Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Colorado.

                  s. Signs and Auctions. Tenant shall, subject to compliance
with Applicable Laws, have the right to place any sign upon the Premises or the
exterior of the Building provided the sign and the installation thereof is
approved in advance in writing by the Landlord and provided, further, that upon
removal there is no evidence of a sign having been installed. Upon termination
of the Lease Tenant shall have the obligation to remove the sign at its sole
cost and restore the exterior wall to its original condition. Tenant shall have
the right to secure signage on the monument sign for the Building during the
Term. Until such time as the Building is no longer only occupied by Tenant,
Tenant shall be entitled to use the entire monument sign and at such time as the
Building is no longer only occupied by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to use a
proportionate portion of the monument sign equal to Tenant's occupancy of the
Building. Tenant shall not conduct any auction at the Building without
Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

                  t. Landlord's Liability. The liabilities of the members of the
Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be limited to interest in the Property
(including all rents and other income derived therefrom) and to the assets of
the limited liability company, and Tenant, its successors and assigns hereby
waive all right to proceed against any of the partners, members, or the
officers, shareholders, or directors of any corporate partner of Landlord. The
term "Landlord," as used in this article, shall mean only the owner or owners at
the time in question of the fee title or an interest in a ground lease of the
Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the extent
of the Landlord's liability under this Lease shall be limited to the Property of
which the Premises herein are a part (including all rents and other income
derived therefrom) and the assets of the limited liability company, and Tenant
shall not seek any personal liability against Landlord or any of Landlord's
partners or members.

                  u. Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by
jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties
to this Lease against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in
any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
Tenant's use of occupancy of the Premises, or any other claims (except claims
for personal injury or property damage), and any emergency statutory or any
other statutory remedy.

                  v. Arbitration. Except for an action to gain possession of the
Premises and except as provided below, any and all disputes arising under or
related to this Agreement which cannot be resolved through negotiations between
the parties shall be submitted to binding arbitration. If the parties fail to
reach a settlement of their dispute within fifteen (15) days after the earliest
date upon which one of the parties notified the other(s) of its desire to
attempt to resolve the dispute, then the dispute shall promptly be submitted to
arbitration by a single arbiter through the Judicial Arbiter Group ("JAG"), any
successor of the Judicial Arbiter Group, or any similar arbitration provider who
can provide a former judge to conduct such arbitration if JAG is no longer in
existence, or an arbiter appointed by the court. The arbiter shall be selected
by JAG or the court on the basis, if possible, of his or her expertise in the
subject matter(s) of the dispute. The decision of the arbiter shall be final,
nonappealable and binding upon the parties, and it may be entered in any court
of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Boulder,
Colorado. The arbitrator shall be bound by the laws of the State of Colorado
applicable to the issues involved in the arbitration and all Colorado rules
relating to the admissibility of evidence, including, without limitation, all
relevant privileges and the attorney work product doctrine. All such discovery
shall be completed in accordance with the time limitations prescribed in the
Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or
ordered by the arbitrator on the basis of strict necessity adequately
demonstrated by the party requesting an extension or reduction of time. The

                                       15
<PAGE>

arbitrator shall have the power to grant equitable relief where applicable under
Colorado law. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion setting forth her or
his decision and the reasons therefor within thirty (30) days after the
arbitration proceeding is concluded. The obligation of the parties to submit any
dispute arising under or related to this Agreement to arbitration as provided in
this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek and obtain an
injunction or other appropriate relief from a court to preserve or protect the
status quo with respect to any matter pending conclusion of the arbitration
proceeding, but no such application to a court shall in any way be permitted to
stay or otherwise impede the progress of the arbitration proceeding.

                  w. Financial Statements. At such time as Tenant ceases to be a
publicly traded corporation, Tenant, not more than one (1) time each calendar
year, shall provide their most recent annual report, including statements of
income and expense and statements of net worth ("financial statements") within
15 business days following the written request of Landlord. Landlord may request
said annual report once during any twelve (12) month period. Said annual report
shall be verified as being true and correct and Landlord agrees to keep said
annual report confidential, but may use the annual report for purposes of
obtaining financing upon the property. At the time Landlord requests annual
financial statements from Tenant for financing purposes, Landlord shall advise
Tenant to whom the annual report will be submitted and Landlord shall, if
requested to do so by Tenant, obtain from such individual or entity a written
agreement which shall provide that said annual report will be and shall remain
confidential. In the event Tenant is acquired by or merged with another entity
resulting in Tenant being a subsidiary of such other entity and Tenant files
consolidated financial statements with that entity, then Tenant shall only be
obligated to provide financial statements of such other entity so long as the
surviving entity assumes the Lease and outstanding obligations therein. Within
fifteen (15) days after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall submit to
Landlord its most recent financial statements.

         30. BROKERS. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real
estate brokers or agents in connection with the negotiation of this Lease
excepting only Chrisman Commercial and it knows of no other real estate broker
or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Tenant
discloses to Landlord that it had an exclusive agency relationship with Cresa
Partners, which Tenant terminated on January 1, 2002, but for which a
termination fee may be owed by Tenant to Cresa Partners. Tenant hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless of and from any and all damages, losses,
costs or expenses (including without limitation, all attorneys' fees and
disbursements) by reason of any claim of or liability to any other broker or
other person claiming by or through Tenant and arising out of or in connection
with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Lease. Landlord hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless of and from any and all damages,
losses, costs or expenses (including without limitation, all attorneys' fees and
disbursements) by reason of any claim of or liability to any other broker or
other person claiming by or through Landlord and arising out of or in connection
with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Lease.

         31. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

                  a. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and its agents,
employees, contractors and invitees shall comply with all Hazardous Materials
Laws (as hereinafter defined). Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant covenants
and agrees that it will not use, generate, store or dispose of, nor permit the
use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter
defined) on, under or about the Leased Premises in violation of any applicable
Hazardous Materials Laws, nor will it transport or permit the transportation of
Hazardous Materials to or from the Leased Premises in violation of any
applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. Any Hazardous Materials located on the
Leased Premises shall be handled in an appropriately controlled environment
which shall include the use of such equipment (at Tenant's expense) as is
necessary to meet or exceed standards imposed by any Hazardous Materials Laws
and in such a way as not to interfere with any other tenant's use of its
premises. Upon breach of any covenant contained herein, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's sole expense, cure such breach by taking all action prescribed by any
applicable Hazardous Materials Laws or by any governmental authority with
jurisdiction over such matters.

                  b. Except for Hazardous Materials typically utilized by office
tenants (e.g. printing machine toner), Tenant shall inform Landlord at any time
of (i) any Hazardous Materials it intends to use, generate, handle, store or
dispose of, on or about or transport from, the Premises and (ii) of Tenant's
discovery

                                       16
<PAGE>

of any event or condition which constitutes a violation of any applicable
Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all
communications to or from any governmental authority or any other party relating
to Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises.

                  c. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any
and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities,
expenses or losses (excluding consequential damages, but, including without
limitation, diminution on value of the Premises, damages for loss or restriction
on use of all or part of the Premises, sums paid in settlement of claims,
investigation of site conditions, or any cleanup, removal or restoration work
required by any federal, state or local governmental agency, attorney's fees,
consultant fees and expert fees) which arise as a result of or in connection
with any breach of the foregoing covenants or any other violation contained
herein shall also accrue to the benefit of the employees, agents, officers,
directors and/or partners of Landlord. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant
harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs,
liabilities, expenses or losses (excluding consequential damages, but, including
without limitation, diminution on value of the Premises, damages for loss or
restriction on use of all or part of the Premises, sums paid in settlement of
claims, investigation of site conditions, or any cleanup, removal or restoration
work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency, attorney's
fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise as a result of or in
connection with any violation of Hazardous Materials Laws and existing
conditions prior to the Commencement Date, and which shall also accrue to the
benefit of the employees, agents, officers, directors and/or partners of Tenant.

                  d. Upon termination of the Lease and/or vacation of the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall properly remove all Hazardous Materials and shall provide
to Landlord an environmental audit report, prepared by a professional consultant
satisfactory to Landlord and at Tenant's sole expense, certifying that the
Leased Premises have not been subjected to environmental harm caused by Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Leased Premises; provided, however, Landlord reasonably
believes that such a report is necessary because of a notice of violation of
Hazardous Materials Laws, or Landlord reasonably believes a violation or problem
exists. It shall not be reasonable for Landlord to believe a violation or
problem exists solely by Tenant's use of or the existence of any Hazardous
Materials at the Premises. Landlord shall grant to Tenant and its agents or
contractors such access to the Leased Premises as is necessary to accomplish
such removal and prepare such report.

                  e. "Hazardous Materials" shall mean (a) any chemical,
material, substance or pollutant which poses a hazard to the Leased Premises or
to persons on or about the Leased Premises or would cause a violation of or is
regulated by any Hazardous Materials Laws, and (b) any chemical, material or
substance defined as or included in the definitions of "hazardous substances",
"hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials", "extremely hazardous waste",
"restricted hazardous waste", "toxic substances", "regulated substances", or
words of similar import under any applicable federal, state or local law or
under the regulations adopted or publications promulgated pursuant thereto,
including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response.
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9601, et
seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. Sec.
1801, et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recover Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
Sec. 6901, et seq.; the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 6991 et seq.;
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. Sec. 1251, et
seq., of the Colorado Revised Statutes. "Hazardous Materials Laws" shall mean
any federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or policies
(including, but not limited to, those laws specified above) relating to the
environment, health and safety or the use, handling, transportation, production,
disposal, discharge or storage of Hazardous Materials, or to industrial hygiene
or the environmental conditions on, under or about the Leased Premises. Said
term shall be deemed to include all such laws as are now in effect or as
hereafter amended and all other such laws as may hereafter be enacted or adopted
during the Term of this Lease.

                  f. All obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive and
continue after the expiration of this Lease or its earlier termination for any
reason.

                  g. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not
install any storage tank (whether above or below the ground) on the Leased
Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord, which
consent may be conditioned upon further requirements imposed by Landlord with
respect to,

                                       17
<PAGE>

among other things, compliance by Tenant with any applicable laws, rules,
regulations or ordinances and safety measures or financial responsibility
requirements.

         32. MISCELLANEOUS

                  a. Landlord shall construct certain build-out improvements to
the Premises, including construction of suspended ceilings; exterior and
partitioning walls; installation of carpeting; painting; installation of fire
sprinkling system; HVAC, and lighting systems; and other improvements as agreed
upon in accordance with plans and specifications ("Plans") to be approved by
Landlord and Tenant, and attached hereto as Exhibit E (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Tenant Improvements"). Landlord and Tenant will use their
best efforts to prepare and approve construction drawings and specifications and
approve them in writing within twenty-one (21) days after the date of this
Lease. Tenant Improvements shall be completed pursuant to the provisions of the
Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit F.

                           Landlord's Contribution (as defined in the Work
Letter) for Tenant Improvements is $800,000; provided, however, Landlord agrees
to finance the cost of the Tenant Improvements up to a maximum of $1,300,000.00
(the "Occupancy Improvement Rent"). To the extent that the cost of said
improvements is less than or exceeds $800,000, then the Occupancy Improvement
Rent set forth in Paragraph 5.a above shall increase or decrease by amortizing
the increase or decrease. If the cost of Tenant Improvements increase or
decrease by $1,000, the Occupancy Improvement Rent will increase or decrease by
$13.22. Tenant shall have the option of amortizing the actual amount of the
Occupancy Improvement Rent over ten (10) years at 10% per annum, or paying up
front the actual Amortized Tenant Finish Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to prepay the
entire amount of the Occupancy Improvement Rent at anytime during the Term, so
long as Landlord has the flexibility to prepay its loan on the Property. In the
event any prepayment of Landlord's loan would result in the additional payment
of prepayment penalties, and Tenant elects to prepay the Occupancy Improvement
Rent, in addition to the Occupancy Improvement Rent, Tenant shall pay such
prepayment penalties.

                  b. Tenant has the right, within 10 days prior to possession,
to inspect the Premises after Landlord completes the Tenant Improvements. Tenant
has the right to create a "punch list" of unfinished items based on Tenant's
pre-possession inspection and to add to the "punch list" for a period of 30 days
after taking possession. Landlord is obligated to complete items on the "punch
list" to Tenant's reasonable satisfaction within 30 days of the receipt of the
"punch list".

         33. LANDSCAPING. Landlord covenants and agrees that it will expend at
least One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) on landscaping improvements
to the Property which improvements will be completed no more than four (4)
months after the Commencement Date. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that such
improvements are at Landlord's sole cost and expense and are not to be added to
Operating Expenses or deducted from Tenant's finish allowance.

         34. OPTION TO RENEW

                  a. Provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease
beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the option to renew the
Lease for two additional terms of five (5) years each (the "Option"), the first
such period from and after the date the initial Term ends ("First Option Period)
and the second such period from and after the date the First Option Period ends.
Each option must be exercised, if at all, by a written notice received by
Landlord no later than one (1) year before the end of the prior period.

                  b. The Option granted hereunder shall be upon the terms and
conditions of the Lease; provided, however, the monthly Base Rent to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord for applicable option period shall be an amount equal to the
Base Rent payable by Tenant for the calendar month immediately prior to the
exercise of the Option increased by the Consumer Price Index as set forth in
Section 5.b of this Lease.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         35.  OPTION TO PURCHASE

                  a. As an inducement to Tenant to enter into this Lease,
Landlord hereby gives and grants to Tenant the exclusive right, privilege and
option (hereinafter referred to as the "Option") to purchase the Property from
Landlord, together with all easements, hereditaments, improvements constructed
thereon, and appurtenances thereto, upon and subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions hereinafter set forth. This Option is not assignable by Tenant, and
shall terminate upon any assignment by Tenant, except if such assignment is to
the parent of Tenant, to Tenant's affiliate or is related to a merger or
acquisition of Tenant. Landlord acknowledges that the Option is an integral and
material term of this Lease, but for which Tenant would not have entered into
this Lease.

                  b. (1) The Option may be exercised if no uncured default
described in Paragraph 23 of this Lease exists. The Option shall be exercised by
Tenant serving upon Landlord written notice (hereinafter referred to as the
"Exercise Notice") of Tenant's election to exercise the Option in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof. Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its
intent to sell the Building and/or Property prior to marketing it for sale.

                           (2) Upon service of the Exercise Notice, Landlord
shall be obligated to convey the Property to Tenant and Tenant shall be
obligated to pay the Purchase Price (as defined herein) in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof.

                  c. The purchase price for the Property (hereinafter referred
to as the "Purchase Price") shall be ninety-eight percent (98%) of the fair
market value of the Property to be determined as follows: (i) by written
agreement of the parties reached within thirty (30) days after the date of the
Exercise Notice; or (ii) if the parties are unable to so agree within said
thirty (30) day period, then by appraisal to be conducted in accordance with the
provisions set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
no event shall the Purchase Price be less than the sum of $3,000,000, plus the
amount of the unamortized Occupancy Improvement Rent, plus the portion of any
non-prepayable Deed of Trust against the Property, if any, which Landlord can
verify the proceeds of which were not utilized to return any capital to Landlord
or any of its members (the "Minimum Purchase Price"). The Minimum Purchase Price
herein shall be personal to Eastside Properties, LLC and in the event the
Property is sold, such Minimum Purchase Price shall terminate.

Within ten (10) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred
to above, the Tenant shall appoint a disinterested person with at least ten
years professional experience as a M.A.I. real estate appraiser in Boulder CO
area. Within ten (10) days thereafter, the Landlord shall by written notice to
the Tenant appoint a second disinterested person with at least ten years
professional experience as a M.A.I. real estate appraiser in the Boulder, CO
area. The appraisers thus appointed shall appoint a third disinterested person
with at least ten years professional experience as a M.A.I. real estate
appraiser in Boulder, CO area, and each of such three appraisers shall promptly,
and no event longer than thirty (30) days, and independently make a
determination of the fair market value of the Property, after which the ultimate
fair market value of the Property shall be determined by calculating the average
of the two (2) closest appraisals. If, within five (5) days after the
appointment of the second appraiser, the two appraisers appointed by the parties
shall be unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser, they shall
give written notice of such failure to agree to the parties, and, if the parties
fail to agree upon the selection of such third appraiser within five (5) days
after the appraisers appointed by the parties have given such notice, then
within five (5) days thereafter either of the parties upon written notice to the
other party may apply for such appointment to the local Judicial Arbiters Group.
The Landlord and Tenant each shall be entitled to present evidence and argument
to the appraisers. The determination of the fair market value of the Property
pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph shall be conclusive upon the parties.
The appraisers shall give written notice to the parties stating their
determination, and shall furnish to each party a copy of such determination
signed by them. In the event of the failure, refusal, or inability of any
appraiser to act, a new appraiser qualified as provided above shall be appointed
in his stead, which appointment shall be made in the same manner as hereinabove
provided for the appointment of the appraiser so failing, refusing, or unable to
act. The expenses of each appraisal conducted in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph shall be borne by the Tenant. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall have the

                                       19
<PAGE>

right to rescind the exercise of its Option by written notice to Landlord within
ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of the arbitrators' determination
of the Purchase Price, in which event Tenant shall pay, in addition to the costs
of the appraisers, any reasonable costs actually incurred by Landlord pursuant
to an arbitration with respect thereto.

The term "fair market value" shall mean the price, expressed in terms of cash,
which the Property would bring if exposed upon an open and competitive market
for a reasonable length of time under all conditions requisite to a fair sale,
with the purchaser being willing but under no compulsion to buy and not in
possession and the seller being willing but under no compulsion to sell, with
both parties having full knowledge as to all the uses to which the Property
might be put and considering the highest and best use of the Property with the
Lease in place.

                  d. Landlord shall convey the Property by means of a special
warranty deed (hereinafter referred to as the "Deed") subject, however, to the
following liens and encumbrances (the "Permitted Encumbrances"): (1)
Restrictions, conditions, reservations, easements and limitations of record and
any additional restrictions, conditions, reservations, easements, liens and
encumbrances which are placed of record by any action or failure to act by
Tenant resulting in consensual or non-consensual encumbrances against the
Property;

                                    (2) Real estate taxes and assessments, both
general and special;

                                    (3) Zoning and building ordinances, if any;

                                    (4) Any liens and encumbrances, or other
matters of record, created or caused by Tenant; and

                                    (5) such other matters as Tenant may approve
in its sole and absolute discretion.

All funds and documents required hereunder shall be deposited in escrow with the
Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) prior to the Closing Date.

                  e. The obligation of Tenant to consummate the purchase of the
Property shall be subject to Tenant's ability at closing to obtain an owner's
fee policy of title insurance (hereinafter referred to as the "Title Policy")
issued by a title company selected by Tenant and as to whom Landlord has no
reasonable objection (the "Title Company") in the amount of the Purchase Price
(provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to update any survey or
provide a new survey for the Property nor shall Landlord be responsible for
removal of any mechanic's liens, except to the extent that any work or services
performed with respect to the Property has been made by or at the specific
request of Landlord), showing title to be good in Tenant subject only to the
Permitted Encumbrances. Tenant shall pay for the cost of the Title Policy.
Tenant shall order a commitment for the Title Policy from the Title Company
within ten (10) business days after Tenant's delivery to Landlord of the
Exercise Notice, and shall direct the Title Company to deliver a copy thereof to
Landlord, together with copies of all items shown as requirements or exceptions.
Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Commitment
in which to notify Landlord of any exceptions to title to which Tenant objects
(hereinafter referred to as the "Title Defects"). Landlord shall pay and
discharge on the Closing Date any Title Defects which are in the nature of liens
or mortgages against the Property, including any Deed of Trust granted by
Landlord that may be paid and released, but excluding any Deed of Trust that by
its terms cannot be pre-paid without penalty. No exceptions to title permitted
under subparagraph (d) above shall be deemed to be Title Defects.

                  f. Upon receipt by Landlord of Tenant's notification of Title
Defects, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure said Title
Defects without diminishing or relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder.
Should Landlord be unwilling or fail to cure said Title Defects within the
period provided above, Tenant shall, as its sole remedy, have the option to (i)
accept the Property subject to the Title Defects without reduction in Purchase
Price, except however, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by any Deed of Trust
granted by Landlord which is not released at Closing, or (ii) declare this
Property Option

                                       20
<PAGE>

null and void, except for the cost of escrow incurred to that date (which cost
shall be borne by Tenant), and thereafter both parties shall be relieved of any
further liability under the Option, but the Lease shall continue in full force
and effect. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its election within five (5) days
after receipt of notice by Landlord of its failure to cure the Title Defects.

                  g. Title Company shall act as Escrow Agent. A copy of this
Lease shall be delivered to, and shall constitute instructions to, the Escrow
Agent. The Escrow Agent may attach its "standard conditions of acceptance",
provided, however, if there is a conflict between the provisions of this Lease
and the provisions of said standard conditions, the provisions of this Lease
shall prevail.

                  h. Real estate taxes and assessments, both general and
special, and all charges for utilities, shall not be prorated but shall be
assumed by Tenant. Rent, including Base Rent and Operating Expenses, except
those assumed by Tenant, shall be prorated to the Closing Date.

                  i. (1) On the Closing Date, at such time as the Escrow Agent
has in its possession all funds representing the Purchase Price, the Deed and
all other documents required from Landlord and/or Tenant, it shall pay off any
Deed of Trust granted by Landlord that may be prepaid, file the Deed for record,
transferring title to the Tenant, issue the Title Policy to the Tenant as
hereinabove provided and, simultaneously, pay to Landlord the Purchase Price,
less any deductions provided for herein.

                           (2) The Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Tenant the
Deed, the Title Policy and all funds remaining to the credit of Tenant after
charging Tenant and deducting from such funds: (A) any amounts due Landlord by
reason of pro-rations hereunder; (B)one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee; and (C)
any intangible tax, documentary stamps, cost of recording and other costs
incidental to the making or recording of a mortgage to be placed on the
Property; and the cost of the Lender's Title Policy. On the Closing Date, Tenant
shall deposit with an Escrow Agent funds which are sufficient to pay the
foregoing costs.

                           (3) The Escrow Agent shall deliver to Landlord the
funds in its possession to the credit of Landlord after charging the Landlord
and deducting from such funds: (A) any amounts due Tenant by reason of any
pro-rations hereunder, (B) one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee; and (C) the cost of
the Owner's Title Policy.

                           (4) All necessary instruments, documents and funds
shall be deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent no later than the day prior
to the Closing Date. Unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing or
unless extended pursuant to the terms hereof, the date for the closing of the
purchase of the Property (the "Closing Date") shall be thirty (30) days from the
date of establishment of the Purchase Price in accordance with subparagraph (c)
of this Paragraph.

                           (5) It is understood and agreed that in the event
that, for any reason, there shall fail to be a closing pursuant to the terms of
the Option, then the balance of this Lease, exclusive of this Paragraph, shall
continue in full force and effect as if said paragraph were not a part hereof.

                           (6) If Tenant fails to exercise the option to
purchase the Property, or if Tenant is not entitled to exercise the option as
set forth above, or this Lease has expired or has been terminated and is not
then in full force and effect, the attempted exercise of Option shall be void
and of no effect. If on the Closing Date, there is a default by Tenant of which
Tenant has received notice as provided herein and which remains uncured after
the applicable cure period set forth therein, or the Lease has been terminated
and is not then in full force and effect, at the Landlord's option, Tenant shall
have no right to purchase the Property and the exercise of the Option shall be
deemed void and of no effect.

                  j. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
purchase and sale of the Property shall be subject to the consent of any lender
which is the beneficiary of a Deed of Trust which may be prepaid, granted by
Landlord.

         36. CONTINGENCIES. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not own the
Property or the Building. Rather, Landlord intends to enter into a Contract to
Buy and Sell Real Estate with the current owner of the

                                       21
<PAGE>

Property (the "Original Contract"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, this Lease is contingent upon Landlord delivering to Tenant all of
the following ("Landlord's Contingencies"):

                  a. a copy of the Original Contract, executed by Landlord and
the current owner of the Property, by January 23, 2002, with no conditions on
the closing under the contract except the payment by Landlord of the purchase
price and the delivery of a deed for the Property by the current owner;

                  b. a financing commitment, by February 15, 2002, reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant, from a lender or other private sources (members of the
Landlord's limited liability company) committing to fund the total purchase
price for Landlord's acquisition of the Property;

                  c. Landlord's acquisition of the Property from the current
owner on or before March 31, 2002.

If Landlord fails to satisfy any of Landlord's Contingencies within the time
periods set forth above, Tenant, upon written notice to Landlord, shall be
entitled to terminate this Lease. In the event of Tenant's termination, Landlord
agrees to reimburse Tenant the engineering and architectural costs (in an amount
not to exceed $25,000) incurred by Tenant in connection with this Lease and the
Work Letter, within ten (10) days of Landlord's receipt of an invoice from
Tenant for such costs.

                  d. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,
THIS LEASE SHALL NOT BE A VALID AND ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATION OF TENANT UNLESS
TENANT OBTAINS APPROVAL OF THE LEASE BY TENANT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TENANT
DELIVERS A DULY EXECUTED DOCUMENT EVIDENCING SUCH APPROVAL TO LANDLORD ON OR
BEFORE 5:00 P.M., JANUARY 18, 2002.
