THIS BASIC LEASE TERM SHEET, together with the General Provisions in Part II and any Exhibits as Part III, all constitute the entire lease between Tenant and Landlord for the Leased Premises, made and entered into as of the Lease Date.

PART II
GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. PREMISES; BUILDING; BUILDING COMPLEX: COMMON AREAS. In consideration of the payment of the Rent and the performance of Landlord and Tenant's obligations under the Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the premises as described on the Basic Lease Term Sheet and as depicted on Exhibit A (the "Premises") located in the building on the land described on Exhibit B (the "Building"), together with a non-exclusive right to use all common areas designated by Landlord for non-exclusive use of the tenants of the Building. The Building, real property, landscaped and parking areas, drives and related easements, common areas, and appurtenances are hereinafter collectively sometimes called the "Building Complex" whether all or a part of it. The "Common Areas" include the Building entrances, walkways, driveways to the Building, stairways, common lobbies and corridors, electrical and telephone rooms, and other areas designated from time-to-time by Landlord for the use of all tenants of the Building.

All entry of the Premises or Building Complex during construction under the Work Letter (defined in Paragraph 4) by Tenant its employees, architects, agents or representatives shall be at Tenant's sole risk, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and its employees, partners, contractors, and Building Manager harmless from and against any and all injuries, death, damages, loss, claims, suits and liability arising out of any such inspection, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant shall not prior to the Lease Commencement Date enter on the Premises or permit others to do so.

2. LEASE TERM. The term of the Lease shall commence at 12:01 a.m. on the Lease Commencement Date and shall terminate at 12:00 midnight on the Lease Expiration Date, as specified on the Basic Lease Term Sheet (the "Primary Lease Term"). The Primary Lease Term, as it may be extended, is referred to as the "Lease Term."

3. RENT; SECURITY DEPOSIT.

A. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord base rent for the Premises ("Base Rent") as specified on the Basic Lease Term Sheet during the Primary Lease Term. All installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, except that the first monthly installment of Base Rent shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease by Tenant. All Base Rent and Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined), (collectively, "Rent") shall be paid without notice, demand, deduction, offset, or abatement (except as otherwise expressly provided in

this Lease), at Landlord's address or at such other place as Landlord from time-to-time designates in writing. In no event will the total Rent to be paid by Tenant during any Lease Year ever be less than the Base Rent plus Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses under Paragraph 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may occupy the Premises and defer payment of Base Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for a period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating May 31, 1999 (the "Deferred Rent Period"). Rents payable hereunder are allocable to, and will be accrued by the parties during, their fiscal periods in which the same is actually paid. No portion of the Base Rent paid by Tenant during periods after the expiration of the Deferred Rent Period will be allocated to such Deferred Rent Period, nor is such Rent intended to be allocable to the Deferred Rent Period. If at any time during the Term, an Event of Default occurs, Tenant owes Landlord, in addition to all other amounts, Base Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses deferred pursuant to this Paragraph during the Deferred Rent Period. Tenant, however, has no obligation to pay the deferred amounts if no Event of Default occurs prior to the expiration of the Term.

B. Security Deposit. It is agreed that Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, shall deposit with Landlord, and shall keep an deposit at all times during the Lease Term, the security deposit specified on the Base Lease Term Sheet (the "Security Deposit") as security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and for the faithful performance of all other provisions of this Lease which are to be performed by Tenant. If, at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to use the Security Deposit, or so much as necessary, in payment of any Rent or in performance of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease, and in payment of any damages incurred by the Landlord by reason of Tenant's defaults, which shall not waive or cure any such default. In that event, Tenant shall, on written notice of Landlord, forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The Security Deposit which has not been so utilized, shall be refunded to Tenant, without interest, within 60 days after the termination of this Lease upon full performance of this Lease by Tenant and vacation and surrender of the Premises by Tenant as required by this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to hold the Security Deposit in a segregated account and Tenant shall be entitled to no interest on it. Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to or credit the Security Deposit to the purchase price paid by any purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from further liability with respect to the Security Deposit. If a Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) succeeds to Landlord's interest by foreclosure or deed in lieu, Tenant shall have no claim against Mortgagee unless Mortgagee actually received the Security Deposit from Landlord. Tenant's obligations under this Lease exceed the amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall remain liable for the balance of its obligations.

4. TENANT FINISH AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PREMISES.

A. Landlord's Work. Other than as set forth in the Work Letter, Landlord shall have no obligations for any remodeling or other work in the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in their "as-is" condition on the date the Premises is Ready for Tenant.

B. Postponement of Lease Commencement Date. If the Premises are not Ready for Tenant on or before March 17, 1999 because a prior tenant fails to vacate, the Lease Commencement Date shall be postponed until the earlier of: (i) the date the Premises are Ready for Tenant; or (ii) the date Tenant takes occupancy of any of the Premises, on which date all of the provisions of this Lease shall take effect; provided, however, that the Rent Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date shall each be delayed by the same number of days that the Lease Commencement Date is delayed beyond March 17, 1999. If the Premises are not Ready for Tenant on or before March 17, 1999, the postponement of Tenant's obligation to pay Rent shall be in full settlement of all claims which Tenant might otherwise have by reason of the Premises not being Ready for Tenant on or before March 17, 1999. "Ready for Tenant" shall mean the date the Premises is delivered to Tenant.

C. Acceptance of Premises. Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises are Ready for Tenant.

D. Partial Months: Lease Commencement Certificate. If the Lease Commencement Date does not begin on the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay proportionate Rent in advance for the partial month and the partial month shall be considered part of the first Lease Year (as defined in subparagraph 5.A). In the event the Lease Commencement Date is delayed, the Lease Expiration Date shall be extended so that the Primary Lease Term will continue for the full period set forth in the Basic Lease Term Sheet. At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Lease Commencement Certificate, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E, setting forth among other things the Lease Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date.

5. OPERATING EXPENSES.

A. Definitions Regarding Operating Expenses. The following terms have the following meanings with respect to their use in this Lease:

(2) "Tenant's Pro Rata Share" means the percentage specified on the Basic Lease Term Sheet. In the event Tenant, at any time during the Lease Term, leases additional space in the Building, Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be recomputed by dividing the total rentable square footage of space then being leased by Tenant (including any additional space) by the Building Rentable Area, and the resulting percentage figure shall become Tenant's Pro Rata Share.

(3) "Lease Year" means each calendar year during the Lease Term, except that the first Lease Year shall begin on the Lease Commencement Date and end on December 31 of that year, and the last Lease Year shall begin on January 1 of the calendar year in which this Lease expires or is terminated and end on the date it expires or terminates.

(k) Legal, accounting, inspection, and consultation fees (including fees charged by consultants retained by Landlord for services that are designed to produce a reduction in Operating Expenses or to reasonably improve the operation, maintenance or state of repair of the Building Complex) incurred in the ordinary course of operating the Building Complex; and a general overhead and administrative charge equal to 2% percent of all Operating Costs.

(l) The costs of capital improvements and structural repairs and replacements made in or to the Building Complex or the cost of any machinery or equipment installed in the Building Complex in order to conform to any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building Complex ("Required Capital Improvement"); the costs of any capital improvements and structural repairs and replacements designed primarily to reduce Operating Expenses ("Cost Savings Improvements"); and a reasonable annual reserve for all other capital improvements and structural repairs and replacements reasonably necessary to permit Landlord to maintain the Building Complex.

(m) Any assessments, special assessments or other fees or charges levied or imposed an the Building Complex by the Interlocken Owners Association; and

B. Payment of Operating Expenses. It is hereby agreed that, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3A above pertaining to the Deferred Rent Period, commencing with the first Lease Year and continuing each month thereafter through the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent at the same time as Base Rent is paid an amount equal to ¹/12 of Landlord's estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for the particular Lease Year. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, as soon as practicable following the end of any Lease Year, an estimate of the Operating Expenses for the new Lease Year (the "Budget Sheet"). Until receipt of the Budget Sheet, Tenant shall continue to pay its current monthly Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses based upon the estimate for the preceding Lease Year. If the Budget Sheet reflects an estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the new Lease Year greater than the amount actually paid to the date of receipt of the Budget Sheet for the new Lease Year, Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days of receipt of the Budget Sheet. Upon receipt of the Budget Sheet, Tenant shall thereafter pay the amount of its monthly Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses as set forth in the Budget Sheet. As soon as practicable following the end of any Lease Year, but not later than May 1, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail describing the computations of the Operating Expenses setting forth the exact amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for the Lease Year just completed, and the difference, if any, between the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the increase in Operating Expenses for the Lease Year just completed and the estimated amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for such Lease Year (the "Statement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's failure to deliver the Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 shall not be a waiver of Landlord's rights under this Paragraph. If the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for the period covered by the Statement is higher than the estimated Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses which Tenant previously paid during the Lease Year just completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within 30 days following receipt of the Statement from Landlord. If the actual Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for the period covered by the Statement is less than the estimated Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses which Tenant previously paid during the Lease Year just completed, Landlord shall credit the excess against any sums then owing or next becoming due from Tenant under this Lease. In no event will Rent be less than Base Rent. In the event the Building is not fully occupied during any particular Lease Year, Landlord shall adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected by the occupancy rates for the particular Lease Year, or part of it, as the case may be, to reflect an occupancy of 100% percent of the Building Rentable Area.

C. Partial Years. If the Lease Term covers a period of less than a full calendar year during the first or last a Years, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for the partial year shall be calculated by proportionately reducing Operating Expenses to reflect the number of months in that year.

D. Survival of Tenant's Obligation. Landlord's and Tenant's responsibilities with respect to the Operating Expenses survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and Landlord shall have the

right to retain the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as it deems necessary, to secure Tenant's obligations attributable to the Lease Year in which this Lease terminates.

E. Tenant's Right to Question Operating Expenses. If Tenant questions the amount of Operating Expenses as shown by the Statement, Tenant shall notify Landlord within 30 days after receipt of the Statement. If Tenant does not give Landlord notice within that time period, Tenant shall have waived its right to dispute the Statement. If Tenant timely gives notice, it shall have 90 days after giving notice to hire, at Tenant's sole expense, an accredited member of the Colorado Society of CPA's ("Tenant's Accountants"), to examine Landlord's books and records for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Statement. If Tenant's Accountants determine that an error has been made, notice describing the error in reasonable detail must be given to Landlord during that 90-day period, or the right to question the Statement shall be waived; and if such a notice is given, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon the matter within the following 30 days. All information disclosed to Tenant or Tenant's Accountants in connection with any such review shall be kept confidential by Tenant and Tenant's Accountants and shall not be disclosed or used by Tenant or Tenant's Accountants for any reason other than to verify information set forth in the Statement. If it is determined that an error has been made adverse to Tenant of 5% or more of the total Operating Expenses, Landlord shall pay all of the costs and expenses associated with such review. Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute over any particular Statement, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the amount of the adjusted monthly installments of Additional Rent based upon the Statement until the dispute is resolved. Delay by Landlord in submitting any Statement for any Lease Year shall not affect the provisions of this Paragraph or constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights as set forth herein for that or any subsequent Lease Year.

F. Operating Expense Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if any lease entered into by Landlord with any tenant in the Building is on a "pure net" basis, or provides for a different basis of computation for any Operating Expenses with respect to its leased premises, then, to the extent that Landlord determines that an adjustment should be made in making the computations of Operating Expenses under this Lease, Landlord may modify the computation of Building Rentable Area and Operating Expenses for any Lease Year in order to eliminate or otherwise modify any such expenses which are paid for in whole or in part by that tenant. Furthermore, Landlord shall also be permitted to make such adjustments and modifications to the provisions of this Paragraph as shall be reasonably necessary to achieve the intent of this Lease or the intention of the parties hereto.

6. TENANT'S EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to arrange and pay for the janitorial services for the Premises and to arrange and pay directly to the electrical service provider for all costs of all electrical services associated with the operation and occupancy of the Premises, such as lighting and electrical outlets and the HVAC serving the premises. As more specifically provided in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C, Tenant shall be responsible for the installation of a separate utility meters for purposes of segregating the electrical power supply to the Premises. Said separate meters to include the segregation of power supply necessary to operate the HVAC system for the Premises.

7. SERVICES.

A. Landlord's Services. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 7D, Landlord in accordance with standards established by Landlord from time to time for the Building, agrees: (1) to furnish running water for use in Common Area lavatories and drinking fountains, if any; and (2) to provide limited janitorial services for the Building (including window washing of the outside of exterior windows as may, in the judgment of Landlord, be reasonably required).

B. Additional Services to Tenant. If Tenant requires other services in addition to those required to be provided to all other tenants of the Building, Tenant shall pay for those services monthly as Additional Rent. In addition, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent monthly with Base Rent any and all

charges for utility services supplied and materials furnished directly to the Premises. It is also understood and agreed that Tenant shall pay the cost of replacing light bulbs and/or tubes and ballast used in all lighting in the Premises.

C. Interruption of Services. Landlord may discontinue, reduce, or curtail the Landlord's Services at such times as it may be necessary by reason of accident, repairs, alterations, improvements, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, application of Laws (as hereinafter defined) or due to any other happening beyond the control of Landlord. In the event of any interruption, reduction, or discontinuance of Landlord's services Landlord shall, if possible, give advance notice to Tenant, but Landlord shall not be liable for damages to Tenant or any other party as a result thereof nor shall the occurrence of any such event in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant, cause or permit an abatement, reduction or set off of Rent, or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

D. Notice to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord or the Building Manager of any interruption in the Building services or of any defects in the Building or Building systems of which Tenant becomes aware and of which Landlord is not aware, including defects in pipes, electric wiring, and HVAC equipment. In addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prompt notification of any matter or condition of which it becomes aware which may cause injury or damage to the Building, the Building Complex, or to any person or property.

A. Alterations by Tenant. Except as expressly provided in the Work Letter, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or the Building Complex (the "Alterations"),

including the installation of equipment or machinery which requires modifications to existing electrical outlets or increases Tenant's usage of electricity beyond the standard electrical usage design for the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall submit any such request to Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the Alterations. Landlord may impose, as a condition to its consent, and at Tenant's sole cost, such requirements as Landlord may deem necessary in its judgment, including the manner in which the Alterations are done, the material to be used, the times during which the work is to be accomplished, approval of all plans and specifications, and the procurement of all licenses and permits. Landlord shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant's choice of architect and contractor by whom the work is to be performed. Landlord shall be entitled to or to require Tenant to post notices on and about the Premises with respect to Landlord's non-liability for the Alterations and Tenant shall not permit those notices to be defaced or removed. Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus, machinery or device to the Building systems, including electric wires, water pipes, fire, safety, heating and mechanical systems, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Alterations which Tenant is permitted to make shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with this Lease.

All Alterations, including partitions (except demountable wall systems installed by Tenant and not those existing in the Premises on the date hereof), paneling, carpeting, drapes or other window coverings, and light fixtures (but not including movable office furniture, telephone equipment and cabling), are deemed a part of the real estate and the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, unless Landlord notifies Tenant either M at the time such Alterations are installed that it elects to have Tenant remove all or part of such Alterations at the end of the Term or (ii) in the case of telephone and data cabling within 30 days following the expiration of the Lease that it elects to have Tenant remove such cabling,, and in either such event, Tenant shall at Tenant's expense promptly remove the Alterations specified and restore the Premises to its prior condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

If Landlord permits any Alterations, then prior to the commencement of those Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates (and copies of the policies if requested by Landlord) issued by insurance companies qualified to do business in the state where the Premises are located evidencing that workmen's compensation, public liability insurance and property damage insurance, builder's risk coverage (if applicable) all in amounts, with companies and on forms satisfactory to Landlord, are in force and maintained by all such contractors and subcontractors engaged by Tenant to perform the work. All such policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured and shall provide that they may not be canceled or modified without 30 days' prior notice to Landlord.

Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause any permitted Alterations to be performed in compliance with all applicable requirements of insurance policies, Laws, and governmental bodies having jurisdiction, in such manner as not to interfere with other tenants or interfere with, delay, or impose any additional expense upon Landlord in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building Complex, and so as to maintain harmonious labor relations in the Building and to not disturb other tenants' use of their premises or interfere with Landlord's operation of the Building Complex. In addition, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the acquisition of auxiliary aids, required under the ADA, including all Alterations required: (i) as a result of Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or concessionaire, being a Public Accommodation (as defined in the ADA); (ii) as a result of the Premises being a Commercial Facility (as defined in the ADA); (iii) as a result of any leasehold improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or concessionaire (whether or not Landlord's consent to such leasehold improvements was obtained); or (iv) as a result of the employment by Tenant, or any subtenant, assignee or concessionaire, of any individual with a disability.

B. Ownership and Removal of Alterations. All Alterations, whether made by Landlord or Tenant, including all counters, screens, grilles, cabinetry work, partitions, paneling, carpeting, drapes or other window coverings and light fixtures (but not including Tenant's Property, as defined below), shall be deemed a part of the real estate and the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises without disturbance or injury, at the end of the Lease Term, unless Landlord, by notice given to Tenant no later than 15 days after the end of the Lease Term or Tenant's possession, shall elect to have Tenant remove all or any of the Alterations, and in that event, Tenant shall promptly remove those Alterations. Any such removal, whether required or permitted by Landlord, shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by the removal. All movable partitions, machines and equipment which are installed in the Premises by or for Tenant, without expense to Landlord, which can be removed without damage to or defacement of the Building or the Premises, and all unattached furniture, furnishings and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises (all of which are herein called "Tenant's Property") shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by it at any time during the Lease Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease. However, if any of Tenant's Property is removed, Tenant shall repair or pay the cost of repairing any damage to the Building Complex or the Promises resulting from the removal.

C. Landlord's ADA Alterations. Landlord shall, subject to reimbursement as part of Operating Expenses, be responsible for any alterations, modifications or improvements to any Common Areas of the Building Complex which are required by the ADA.

12. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord, the Building Manager and their employees, contractors and agents shall have the right to enter the Promises at all reasonable times after advance notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) for the purpose of inspecting it, to supply any services to be provided by Landlord, to show it to prospective purchasers, investors or Mortgagees, to make such alterations, repairs, maintenance, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and during the last 180 days of the Lease Term or after an Event of Default to show it to prospective tenants. Landlord may for these purposes, if Tenant is not present, enter the Premises by means of a master key. Any such entry shall not entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent or any other claim against Landlord, except for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13. MECHANICS LIENS. Tenant has no right or authority to impose or permit any lien or claim against the Premises, the Building, the Building Complex or its interest in or under this Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs for work done by or for Tenant in the Premises (including work performed by Landlord or its contractor at Tenant's request following the commencement of the Primary Lease Term) and Tenant will keep the Premises and the Building Complex free and clear of all mechanics' and other liens on account of work done by or for Tenant or persons claiming under it, excluding any Tenant Finish Work performed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter. Tenant 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 for work performed or for materials or supplies furnished to Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant. Should any such claims be made or liens be recorded against the Premises, the Building or the Building Complex or should any action affecting the title thereto be commenced as a result of any such work, Tenant shall cause the claim to be satisfied before being recorded, or if the claim or lien is recorded to be removed of record within five days after recording. If Tenant desires to contest any claim or lien, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant's intent to contest it and, within five days after the recording of any such liens, Tenant shall either furnish to Landlord adequate security satisfactory to Landlord of at least 150% of the amount of the claim, plus estimated costs and interest or bond over any lien under CRS ▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ and as soon as possible thereby have the lien against the Premises, Building and Building Complex discharged and released in full. If a final judgment establishing the validity or existence of any lien for

any amount is entered, Tenant shall immediately pay and satisfy it. If Tenant fails to pay any amount in the time periods provided herein, Landlord may (but without being required to do so) pay such lien or claim and any costs, and the amount so paid, plus 20% of such amounts as an overhead/administration charge, together with reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith, shall be immediately due from Tenant to Landlord.

14. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT.

A. Tenant's Right. Tenant cannot assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Tenant wants to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of the name of the proposed assignee or sub-tenant and the proposed use of the Premises, and provide such financial and other information as Landlord may reasonably require about the proposed assignee or subtenant. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease for any reason, including, if (i) the financial responsibility, or business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is unacceptable to Landlord; (ii) the intended use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant either (a) is not substantially similar to the use of the Premises authorized by the provisions of this Lease or (b) violates any Laws or requires modifications to the Premises or the Building Complex to comply with Laws; (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a present or former tenant of the Building, or (iv) the rent to be paid by the proposed assignee or sublessee is no less than 90% of the Rent paid by Tenant for that space or is less than 90% of the rental rate then being offered by Landlord for similar space in the Building. Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublet any part of the Premises if a notice of default has been delivered by Landlord to Tenant, which default has not been cured, or if an Event of Default exists under this Lease, either at the time of Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublease or at the time the assignment or sublease is scheduled to commence.

B. Other Restrictions. What Constitutes an Assignment. Any assignment or subletting consented to by Landlord shall be in writing in a form acceptable to Landlord. This Lease cannot be assigned or sublet by operation of law. Any transfer of this Lease by a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, merger, consolidation liquidation, or change in ownership of or power to vote the majority of outstanding stock of Tenant or, if Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal, replacement, or substitution of any partner or partners, either general or limited, whether as the result of a single or series of transactions, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Paragraph. Any assignment or subletting shall not affect the liability of the Tenant under this Lease or release Tenant from its obligations. Consent by Landlord to any assignment or sublease shall not relieve the Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord to any subsequent assignment or subletting and Landlord's consent to one assignment or subletting shall not waive Landlord's right to refuse to consent to a subsequent request. If Landlord consents to Tenant's request to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord, at the time consent is given, in consideration for Landlord's written consent to the assignment or sublease, an amount equal to $500 as a subletting/assignment fee. In addition, Tenant or Tenant's assignee or sublessee shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred in altering the Premises to conform to Laws due to any change in the intended use of the Premises. If Tenant collects any rent or other amounts from an assignee or subtenant in excess of the Rent for any monthly period, Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of the excess "monthly (after first deducting Tenant's cumulative reasonable costs related to the Transfer, including tenant finish costs, commissions, or other reasonable costs), as and when received; and after a default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to collect any Rent directly from any subtenant (or from any assignee from which is it not already collecting directly).

C. Certain Subleases. Notwithstanding the above, if Tenant requests Landlord's consent to sublet 25% or more of the Premises, Landlord may refuse to grant consent in its sole discretion and may terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Premises; provided, however, if Landlord does not

consent and elects to terminate the Lease as to that portion, Tenant may within 15 days after notice from Landlord to this effect withdraw Tenant's request for consent. If Landlord elects to terminate under this Paragraph, it shall be effective on the date designated in a notice from Landlord.

15. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; CLAIMS.

A. Landlord Not Liable. Neither Landlord nor the Building Manager or their employees or agents shall have any liability for, and Tenant shall neither hold nor attempt to hold Landlord the Building Manager and their employees and agents liable for any injury or damage, either proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by fire, water, steam, or any repairs, alterations, injury, accident, or any other cause to or within the Premises, to Tenant's Property or other personal property of Tenant or others kept in the Premises or stored in other parts of the Building and/or Common Areas, or for property of Tenant or others entrusted to employees of the Building, or for loss of property by theft or otherwise (including loss or damage in the parking areas) whether by reason of the negligence or default of Landlord, other occupants or any other person or otherwise, and the keeping or storing of all property of Tenant in the Building, Common Areas and/or Premises shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

B. Tenant's Indemnity. Subject to provisions of Paragraph 16C, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and save Landlord and Building Manager harmless of and from all actions, suits, fines, penalties, liability, loss, damages, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, or on account of injuries to the person or property of Tenant or any third party, including any other tenant in the Building Complex or to any other person rightfully in the Building Complex for any purpose whatsoever, where the injuries are caused by the negligence, acts or misconduct of the Tenant, Tenant's agents, servants or employees, or of any other person entering upon the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant, or resulting from any breach of this Lease by Tenant.

16. INSURANCE.

A. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord agrees to carry and maintain commercial general liability insurance against personal injury, including death and property damage, in or about the Building Complex (excluding Tenant's Property), in such amounts as Landlord deems appropriate. Landlord shall maintain casualty insurance for the Building Complex, the shell and core of the Building and the Premises (other than the insurance Tenant is required to carry on the Premises) in such amounts, from such companies, and on such terms and conditions, including insurance for loss of Rent, as Landlord deems appropriate from time to time.

B. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall, at its own cost, at all times during the Lease Term, procure and maintain workmen's compensation insurance in the maximum statutory amount and Employers Liability insurance in the amount of $500,000, each covering all persons employed by Tenant, insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO Special Form Coverage against risks of direct physical loss or damage (commonly known as "all risk") for the full replacement cost of Tenant's Property and the contents of the Premises including damage due to water leakage, in an amount equal to their full replacement cost, and commercial general liability insurance, including coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury (employee and contractual liability exclusions deleted), products and completed operations, contractual liability, owner's protective liability, and broad form property damage with the following limits of liability: $2,000,000.00 each occurrence combined single limit for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury; $2,000,000.00 aggregate for bodily injury and property damage for products and completed operations. All such insurance shall be procured from a responsible insurance company or companies authorized to do business in the State where the Premises are located, with general policyholder's ratings of not less than AA + and a financial rating of not less than "XI" in the most current available Best's Insurance Reports, and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Landlord. All such policies (except workmen's compensation) shall name Landlord and Building

Manager as additional insureds, and shall provide they cannot be canceled or altered except upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord. All insurance maintained by Tenant shall be primary to any insurance carried by Landlord. If Tenant obtains any general liability insurance policy on a claims-made basis, Tenant shall provide continuous liability coverage for claims arising during the entire Lease Term, regardless of when the claims are made, either by obtaining an endorsement providing for an unlimited extended reporting period in the event any such policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever or by obtaining new coverage with a retroactive date the same as or earlier than the expiration date of the canceled or expired policy. Tenant shall provide certificate(s), and if requested copies of the policies, of such insurance to Landlord upon commencement of the Lease Term and at least 30 days prior to their renewal date and such certificate(s) and policies shall name Landlord and Building Manager as additional insureds, in addition to the other requirements herein. The limits of Tenant's insurance shall not, under any circumstances, limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

C. Waiver of Claims and Subrogation. Each party hereby waives and releases the other party and its respective officers, directors, partners, members, agents, representatives and employees, from any claim (including a claim for negligence) which it might otherwise have against the other party for loss, damage or destruction to its real and personal property (including the Building, Building Complex, Premises and Tenant's Property) or for loss of business arising out of or related to the use and occupancy of the Premises occurring during the Lease Term which is insured or capable of being insured against under insurance required under this Paragraph. Tenant also waives all such rights of recovery against the Building Manager. Each party shall notify its insurance carrier of this waiver provision and obtain an appropriate waiver of subrogation provision in its policies.

17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO BUILDING.

A. Repair of Damage. In the event that the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other insured casualty and insurance proceeds have been made available to Landlord to repair the damage by the insurer and any Mortgagees, the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord to the extent of the insurance proceeds, provided that the Premises can be made fit for occupancy, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, within 180 days after the occurrence of the damage without the payment of overtime or other premiums. Until the repairs and restoration are completed, Rent shall be abated to the extent of any recovery by Landlord under its loss of rent insurance related to the Premises in proportion to the part of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business as the result of the casualty, as may be reasonably determined by Landlord (but there shall be no abatement of Rent by reason of any portion of the Premises being unusable for a period of five days or less or as set forth below). Landlord agrees to notify Tenant within 60 days after the casualty if it estimates that it will be unable to repair and restore the Premises within 180 days, which will state the approximate length of time Landlord estimates will be required to complete the repairs and restoration, in which event Landlord in its notice or Tenant in a notice given to Landlord within 15 days thereafter may terminate this Lease effective 30 days from the date of such notice (the "Termination Date"). However, Tenant may not terminate this Lease or receive an abatement of Rent, as above stated, if the damage to the Premises or the Building is in whole or in part the result of the act, omission, fault or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees. In the event this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall pay Rent until the Termination Date and shall forthwith surrender the Premises in accordance with Paragraph 22A. If Tenant fails so to surrender the Premises, Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant and the property and Alterations Tenant is required to remove under Paragraph 11, at Tenant's expense. Except as provided in this Paragraph, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any damage to or interference with Tenant's business or property arising from the casualty or the making of any such repairs, alterations or improvements in or to the Building Complex or Premises. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's Property, or any Alterations installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair

any damage or replace any of Tenant's Property or any such Alterations, which shall be Tenant's responsibility.

B. Termination of Lease. In addition to the reason stated in subparagraph A above, if the Building or Building Complex is substantially damaged, to the extent that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it would be uneconomical to reconstruct or repair the damage (although the Premises may not be affected, or if affected, can be repaired within 180 days) and Landlord, within 60 days after the damage, decides not to reconstruct or repair the damage, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon notice to that effect given to Tenant within that 60-day period, Tenant shall pay Rent, properly apportioned up to date of such termination, this Lease shall terminate on the date provided in Landlord's notice of termination, and both parties shall be released and discharged from all further obligations hereunder (except those obligations which expressly survive termination of the Lease Term). A total destruction of the Building or the Building Complex shall automatically terminate this Lease as of the date of the destruction.

18. CONDEMNATION. If the entire Premises or substantially all of the Premises or any portion of the Building Complex which shall render the Premises untenantable shall be taken by eminent domain or by condemnation or shall be conveyed in lieu of any such taking, then this Lease, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant exercised by either party giving notice to the other of such termination within 30 days after such taking or conveyance, shall as of the date Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises terminate and the Rent shall be apportioned as of that date; and Tenant shall surrender the Premises as required in this Lease to Landlord and Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises on that date. In the event less than all of the Premises shall be taken by that proceeding, Landlord shall promptly repair the Premises as nearly as possible to its condition immediately prior to the taking, unless Landlord elects not to reconstruct or rebuild for the same reasons provided in Paragraph 17B. In the event of any such taking or conveyance, Landlord shall receive the entire award or consideration for the portion of the Building or Building Complex so taken.

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

A. Duty to Provide. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time on or before five days after written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that it is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications), (ii) that there have been no defaults by Landlord (to the best of Tenant's knowledge) or by Tenant (or, if there have been defaults, describing the default), (iii) the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, (iv) that Tenant claims no present charge, lien, claim or offset against Rent, (v) that Rent is not prepaid for more than one month in advance, and (vi) such other matters as may be reasonably required by Landlord, any Mortgages or prospective Mortgagee, or any potential purchaser of the Building. It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of all or any portion of Landlord's interest, or by any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee.

B. Tenant's Failure to Deliver. Tenant acknowledges that it may be difficult, if not impossible, for Landlord to sell or finance the Building without such an estoppel certificate from Tenant, and that Landlord would not enter into this Lease without Tenant's agreement to provide such an estoppel certificate. Tenant's failure to deliver the estoppel certificate in the time and manner provided herein shall constitute an Event of Default. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay any damages incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure (including costs or damages resulting from a lost sale or financing) which a court with proper jurisdiction determines to be appropriate. In addition, in the event that Tenant does not execute and deliver the statement required by this Paragraph, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a power of attorney coupled with an interest to act as Tenant's attorney in fact for the purpose of executing and delivering the estoppel certificate required by this Paragraph.

20. DEFAULT BY TENANT.

A. Event of Default. Each one of the following events is referred to as an "Event of Default":

(1) Any failure by Tenant to pay Rent on the due date unless the failure is cured within 5 business days after notice by Landlord; however, Tenant is not entitled to more than two notices of delinquent payments of Rent during any calendar year and, if thereafter during that calendar year any Rent is not paid when due, an Event of Default shall automatically occur;

(2) If Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or if all or a substantial part of Tenant's Property, is seized or taken by process of law or otherwise and is not released within 15 days;

(3) Commencement by or against Tenant of a proceeding under any provision of federal or state law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization ("Bankruptcy Proceeding"), unless dismissed within 60 days after commencement; the insolvency of Tenant or execution by Tenant of an assignment for the general benefit of creditors; the convening by Tenant of a meeting of its creditors or any significant class thereof for purposes of effecting a moratorium upon or extension or composition of its debts; or the failure of Tenant generally to pay its debts as they mature;

(4) If a guarantor of this Lease, if any, or a general partner or member of Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership, venture or company), becomes a debtor under any Bankruptcy Proceeding, or becomes subject to receivership or trusteeship proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary; unless a substitute guarantor, acceptable to Landlord in light of the responsibilities of Tenant under this Lease, is provided to Landlord within 15 days;

(5) [Intentionally Deleted]

(6) If Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises within 30 days after it is Ready for Tenant;

(7) If Tenant ceases for more than 30 days, for reasons other than those specifically permitted in this Lease, to conduct continually its normal business operations in the Premises from the Lease Commencement Date throughout the Lease Term;

(8) If Tenant fails to perform or breaches any of the other agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof on Tenant's part to be performed (other than the obligation to pay Rent or any other charges payable hereunder), and that default continues for a period of 15 days after notice by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant cannot reasonably cure the default within 15 days, Tenant shall not be in default if it commences to cure the default within that 15 days and diligently pursues it to completion within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days.

B. Remedies of Landlord. If any one or more Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the right at Landlord's election, then or at any time thereafter, in addition to its other rights and remedies under this Lease or any Laws, to do any one or more of the following:

(1) (a) Without demand or notice except as required by Laws, to enter and retake possession of the Premises or any part of it and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove the effects of both or either, without being guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for unpaid of Rent or other breach of this Lease. If Landlord elects to enter and retake possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by Laws, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part of it, in Landlord's or Tenant's name but for the account

of Tenant, for such periods (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include, among other terms, leasing and brokerage fees, concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sale discretion, may determine, and Landlord shall be entitled to collect all the rents from the reletting. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part of it, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon reletting. No such entry or repossession or notice by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any such entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice, in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in that notice.

(b) If Landlord takes possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises after deducting all of Landlord's expenses incurred in connection with the reletting, including all repossession costs, leasing and brokerage fees, concessions, attorneys' fees, expenses of employees, alteration and repair costs ("Reletting Expenses"). If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the Lease Term or the premises covered thereby include other premises not part of the Premises, a fair apportionment of the Rent received from the reletting and the Reletting Expenses will be made in determining the net proceeds received from the reletting. In determining the net proceeds, any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay the amount due under this Paragraph to Landlord monthly on the days on which Rent is due under this Lease.

(2) To give Tenant notice of termination of this Lease on the date specified in that notice, and on that date Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall cease and this Lease shall terminate except as to Tenant's liability as provided below. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph), Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other amounts which would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Lease Term had this Lease not terminated, less the not proceeds, if any, from reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to termination, after deducting the Reletting Expenses. Landlord shall be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which Rent would have been payable if this Lease had not been terminated. Alternatively, if this Lease is terminated, Landlord at its option may recover immediately from Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty an amount equal to the worth at the time of termination of the excess, if any, of the Rent payable under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term over the then Reasonable Rental Value of the Premises for the same period. "Reasonable Rental Value" shall be the amount of rent Landlord can obtain for the remaining balance of the Lease Term, taking into account a reasonable period for reletting, after deducting all estimated Reletting Expenses.

(3) Advance such monies, and take such other action, for Tenant's account as reasonably may be required to perform Tenant's obligation or to mitigate any default or Event of Default, but no such advance or action shall cure the default or Event of Default. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for any such advances, as Additional Rent, upon demand from Landlord. Any such advance, and any cost or expense so incurred, shall bear interest at the rate of 1¹/2% per month, compounded monthly, until paid by Tenant.

(4) Suits for the recovery of Rent and damages may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord's election, and nothing herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait until each installment is due or until the expiration of the Lease Term. Each right and remedy provided

for in this Lease shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, suits for injunctive relief and specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of other rights or remedies. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting Rent or other amounts and damages owing by Tenant or to enforce any provision of this Lease, shall also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant.

(5) No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or agreement, term, covenant, or condition, except by written instrument executed by Landlord or relieve Tenant from the obligation to make the full payment as and when due. No waiver shall affect or alter this Lease, and each and every agreement, term, covenant, and condition hereof shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

(6) Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding the maximum amount allowed by Law at the time such damages are proven, whether or not the amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, referred to in any of the preceding provisions of this Paragraph.

C. Late Charges and Interest.

(1) Rent or other amounts owed by Tenant which are not received by Landlord by the 5th day after the date they are due shall be subject to a late charge of 5% of the amount due. Additionally, if Rent is not received by Landlord within 15 days after it is due (or after notice of default, if notice is required), the amount due shall be subject to an additional 5% late charge. Rent and all other monetary obligations under this Lease not-received by Landlord when due shall also bear interest at the rate of 2% per month, compounded monthly, from the date due until fully received by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that late payments will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be impossible or extremely difficult to ascertain. Those costs include processing and accounting charges, interest and late charges imposed by Mortgagees, and other general and administrative expenses. Tenant agrees that the late charges and interest contemplated by this Paragraph represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs which Landlord will incur as a result of any such late payments by Tenant. Acceptance of late charges and interest by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to any overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies under this Lease.

(2) If Landlord does not receive any payment of Rent on or before the dates set forth in this Lease on more than three occasions in any Lease Year, then in addition to the late charges provided for in subparagraph (1) above, Tenant shall pay a habitual late charge of 5% for every payment received by Landlord after the first day of each subsequent month, until all payments of Rent have been received by Landlord on or before the first day of every subsequent month for at least 6 consecutive months.

D. Mitigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, if Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possession without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises so as to mitigate its damages pursuant to this Paragraph, provided, however, that so long as Landlord uses such reasonable efforts Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises, or any part of it, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon any such reletting; and Landlord shall not be required to spend its own funds, to

give priority (or even equal opportunity) to the Promises over other rental space owned by Landlord or its affiliates or to compromise in any way the terms, uses or credit worthiness of a tenant upon or to which it would customarily lease space such as the Premises; and Landlord shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to seek a single tenant for the entire Premises, even though it may take a substantially longer period to obtain such a tenant and its efforts may be unsuccessful; and this requirement shall not affect in any way Tenant's obligation to obtain Landlord's consent as under Paragraph 14.

E. No Waiver. No payments of Rent or money by Tenant to Landlord after notice of termination or after termination of this Lease, in any manner, shall reinstate, continue, or extend the term of this Lease or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the payment, it being agreed that after the service of notice of termination or the commencement of a suit or other final judgment granting Landlord possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any sums of Rent due or an other sums of money, whether as Rent or otherwise, and exercise Landlord's rights and remedies hereunder, and shall not waive any default or notice or in any manner affect any pending suit or judgment.

F. Landlord's Lien. [Intentionally Deleted]

21. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

A. General. This Lease, and all rights of Tenant under it, at Landlord's option shall be subordinate to any ground leases, deeds of trust, mortgages and security agreements, including leasehold mortgages and building loan agreements, now or hereafter placed upon the Building or the Building Complex (including all advances made thereunder), and to all amendments, renewals, replacements and extensions thereof (collectively, "Mortgage"), but only if and when any Lessor or Mortgagee (as defined below) executes and delivers to Tenant a non-disturbance and attornment agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and the Lessor or Mortgagee, under which, among other provisions which may be included (1) Tenant agrees to recognize and attom to the Lessor or Mortgagee if it becomes the Landlord under this Lease, and (2) the Lessor or Mortgagee (on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns in interest) agrees to recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, notwithstanding defaults under any such ground lease or Mortgage or foreclosure, receivership or sale thereunder. If any holder of a Mortgage ("Mortgagee") or the lessor of any ground lease ("Lessor".) elects to have this Lease made superior to the lien of its Mortgage and gives notice to Tenant, this Lease will be deemed prior to that Mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of that Mortgage. In confirmation of this non-disturbance and attornment, subordination or superior position, as the case may be, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord (or such other party so designated by Landlord) at Tenant's own cost and expense, within 10 days after request from Landlord any instruments as may be reasonably required for this purpose by Mortgagee or Lessor, in recordable form if requested. If Tenant fails to do so within that 10-day period, Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, and Tenant hereby irrevocably grants to Landlord a power of attorney coupled with an interest to act as Tenant's attorney-in-fact for the purposes of executing whatever documents are necessary to evidence such subordination or superior position. Tenant agrees to attorns to all successor owners of the Building, whether such ownership is acquired by sale, foreclosure of a Mortgage, or otherwise.

B. Lease Modifications. If, in connection with the procurement, continuation or renewal of any financing for the Building or the Building Complex, the Mortgagee requests reasonable modifications of this Lease, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold its consent, provided the modifications does not adversely affect any rights of Tenant under this Lease or decrease the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

22. SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER.

A. Surrender. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall promptly surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and loss by fire or other insured casualty excepted (except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 16 and 17), and Tenant shall remove Tenant's Property and the Alterations and other property as required under Paragraph 11. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises on a timely basis as required, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord as a result of that failure, including, but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to third parties who were to have occupied the Premises.

B. Property Not Removed. All Tenant's Property not removed from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of possession for any cause whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant or any other person and without obligation to account therefor, Tenant shall pay Landlord all expenses incurred in so doing.

C. Holding Over. If, after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant remains in possession of the Premises and continues to pay Rent, and Landlord consents to the possession and accepts the Rent, without any written agreement, the holding over shall be deemed a tenancy from month-to-month, under all the provisions of this Lease, but at a monthly Rent equivalent to 150% of the monthly installments of Rent paid by Tenant immediately prior to the termination or the current market rental rate for the Premises, whichever is greater. If, after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant remains in possession without Landlord's consent, Landlord will suffer damages, the amount of which will be difficult to determine; therefore, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as liquidated damages an amount equal to 200% of the Rent calculated on a per them basis, applicable under the Lease in the month immediately prior to the termination. All such Rent shall be payable in advance on the same day of each month. The month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by either party upon 10 days' notice prior to the end of any such monthly period. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as obligating Landlord to accept any Rent tendered by Tenant after any such termination or as obligating Landlord to consent to any holding over, or as relieving Tenant of its liability under this Lease.

23. LANDLORD DEFAULT. In the event of an alleged default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord and shall afford Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default. Notice to Landlord of any such alleged default shall be ineffective unless notice is simultaneously delivered to any Mortgagee as hereafter provided. Tenant agrees to give all Mortgagees, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure the default within the time provided, then the Mortgagee shall have an additional 30 days following a second notice from Tenant within which to cure the default. If the default cannot be cured within that time, Mortgagee shall have such additional time as may be necessary provided that within the 30 days, Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect its cure). Tenant may be entitled to equitable relief and actual damages, but not consequential or punitive damages, incurred by Tenant as a result of any default by Landlord, but shall not be entitled to any abatement of or offset against Rent until it receives a final judgment authorizing it to do so.

24. NOTICE. All notices, demands or statements required or permitted to be given to Landlord shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, addressed to Landlord at Landlord's address

shown on the Basic Lease Term Sheet or at the most recent address of which Landlord has notified Tenant in writing. All notices, demands or statements required or permitted to be given to Tenant shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served when delivered to any officer or agent of Tenant (or a partner or member of Tenant if Tenant is a partnership or other entity or to Tenant individually if Tenant is a sole proprietor) or manager of Tenant whose office is in the Building, or when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, addressed to Tenant at the Premises, or, prior to Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, to the address known to Landlord as Tenant's principal office address. Either party shall have the right to designate in writing, served as above provided, a different address to which notice is to be delivered. This Paragraph shall not prohibit notice from being given as provided in Rule 4 of Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended from time to time.

25. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The rules and regulations attached as Exhibit D are deemed a part of this Lease, and Tenant agrees that Tenant and its employees, agents or any others permitted by Tenant to occupy or enter the Premises shall at all times abide by those rules and regulations. Tenant agrees that Landlord may change the rules and regulations for the Premises and the Building Complex from time to time (including the addition of rules and regulations regarding parking), and Tenant agrees to abide by them upon receipt of notice of the change.

26. PARKING. Tenant shall have the right to use only the number of parking spaces indicated on the Basic Lease Term Sheet and any use of additional parking spaces by Tenant may be deemed by Landlord as a default under this Lease. All vehicles parked in the parking spaces are at the sole risk of Tenant, Tenant's agents and invitees and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage.

27. RIGHT TO RELOCATE TENANT. [Intentionally Deleted]

28. MISCELLANEOUS.

A. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall mean and include only the owner or owners of the Building at the time in question and, in the event of any transfer or transfers of the title thereto, Landlord herein named (and in the case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically released, from and after the date of the transfer or conveyance, of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord thereafter to be performed, provided that the Security Deposit then held by Landlord or the then grantor at the time of the transfer shall be delivered to or credited to the purchase price paid by the grantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord's liability under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord's interest in the Building Complex, and Tenant shall not and cannot seek any recovery or deficiency against any other assets or against any partners, lenders, officers, directors, or employees of Landlord or against the Building Manager.

B. No Merger. The termination of this Lease shall not be a merger, and such termination shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all subleases and subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

C. Landlord's Use of Common Areas. Tenant agrees that Landlord has the right to use the Common Areas for the general benefit of the Building Complex, including for the purposes of completing or making repairs or alterations in any portion of the Building. Landlord may use the Building Complex, the Common Areas and one or more of the street entrances to the Building Complex as may be necessary in Landlord's judgment to complete any such work or for other purposes in connection with Landlord's management or operation of the Building Complex.

D. Covenants are Independent. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent, and subject to Paragraph 23, Tenant shall

not be entitled to any set off of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord if Landlord fails to perform its obligations

E. Severability. If any provision of this Lease is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any Laws, it is the intention of the parties that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and that the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision be replaced by a provision (or construed to be) as similar in terms as possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

F. Captions and Terms. The caption of each Paragraph is added as a matter of convenience only and shall have no effect on the construction of any provision or provisions of this Lease. The words "include" and "including" when used in this Lease are intended in their illustrative sense, not as a limitation, and the terms that follow such words are illustrative and not exclusive. References to "provisions" of this Lease refers to all of the provisions, terms, conditions, covenants and agreements in this Lease. The words "shall" and "will" have the same meaning.

G. Binding Effect: Governing Law. Subject to Paragraphs 14 and 29A, this Lease shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, administrators, successors and assigns. This Lease is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with Colorado law.

H. Tenant's Authority. Tenant and the party executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent to Landlord that they are authorized to do so by requisite action of Tenant and that this Lease is binding on Tenant, and agree, upon request, to deliver to Landlord a resolution or similar document or opinion of counsel to that effect.

I. Joint and Several. If there are more than one entity or person which are the Tenant under this Lease, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.

J. Acts Binding Landlord. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the term, including any agreement to accept the surrender of the Premises or to amend or modify this Lease, shall be binding on Landlord, unless in writing and signed by a person authorized to bind Landlord. The delivery of keys to Landlord, or Landlord's agents, employees, or officers shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the full monthly Rent and all other amounts owing, as herein stipulated, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent or other amounts, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance owed or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

K. Change in Light or View. Tenant agrees that no diminution of light, air, or view by any structure that may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent or other charges under this Lease, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any way affect this Lease or Tenant's obligations under it.

L. No Other Agreements; Amendments. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any statements, representations, agreements, or warranties by Landlord, its agents or employees, except those expressed in this Lease and that no amendment or modification of this Lease shall be valid or binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner as the execution of this Lease, and that this Lease incorporates all prior discussions and agreements.

M. Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that no broker or agent negotiated or was instrumental in the negotiation or consummation of this Lease, except Landlord's Broker and any Tenant's Broker specified in the Basic Lease Term Sheet. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, expense, cost or liability incurred by Landlord as a result

of a claim by any other broker or finder, whether or not meritorious, claiming through Tenant. Tenant acknowledges Landlord is not liable for any representations by Landlord's Broker or Tenant's Broker regarding the Premises, the Building, the Building Complex or this Lease.

N. Recordation. Tenant shall not record or permit to be recorded this Lease or any memorandum of it; and any such recording shall be an Event of Default.

O. Execution Required. Submission of this Lease or any letter regarding it for examination or signature by Tenant shall not grant to Tenant an option or right to lease the Premises; and this Lease shall not be effective as a lease or otherwise binding on either party until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

P. Attorney's Fees. If either party brings an action to enforce any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court.

Q. Time of Essence; Effective Dates. Time is of the essence herein and, unless waived by Landlord (which it shall have the right, but not the obligation, to so do), this Lease is contingent upon execution and delivery by Tenant to Landlord no later than 5:00 p.m. on February , 1999 without any changes which are not approved by Landlord. This Lease shall become effective only upon execution by Landlord and delivery of a fully-executed copy of this Lease to Tenant.

29. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Subject to the renewal options and expansion options granted in written leases entered into with the initial tenants first occupying space in the Building, whether entered into before or after the date of this Lease, if during the initial Term, Landlord shall receive a written bona fide offer ("Offer"), satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion, to lease approximately 17,567 rentable square feet adjacent to the Premises in the Building as depicted on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the "Offer Space"), Landlord agrees to offer to Tenant, by notice ("Offer Notice"), the one-time right to lease the Offer Space upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offer and, at Tenant's election, Tenant may elect to lease such same on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, as adjusted to reflect the number of months remaining in the initial Term. It is expressly understood and agreed that if the Offer is for more than the 17,567 rentable square feet depicted on Exhibit A-1 the term Offer Space shall include such additional square footage and Tenant's rights hereunder shall only be available to Tenant for the entire Offer Space as set forth in the Offer.

A. Exercise. Provided this Lease shall then be in full force and effect and Tenant shall not be in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and grace period, Tenant may exercise its right to lease the Offer Space by written notice to Landlord within 5 days after the date of the Offer Notice, the time of the giving of such notice to be of the essence of this Paragraph, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a amendment of this Lease, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to incorporate the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer. In the event that Tenant fails to accept the offer contained in Landlord's Notice within such 5-day period or fails to execute an Amendment modifying this Lease to incorporate the terms and conditions contained in the Offer within 5 days after such Amendment has been delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Paragraph to lease the Offer Space, Landlord shall have the absolute right to lease the Offer Space to any other person or entity on any same terms and conditions, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to the Offer Space. Notwithstanding Tenant's acceptance of the Offer pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver possession of the Offer Space to Tenant if, prior to delivery of possession of the Offer Space, Tenant shall be in Default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and grace period, in which event the rights of Tenant hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

B. No Default. The option herein granted shall continue only so long as there have been no uncured Defaults hereunder by Tenant and only so long as there are at least 36 months remaining on the initial Term as of the Offer Space Commencement Date. In the event of an assignment of the

Lease or a subletting (other than an assignment to or subletting of the entire Promises by a Related Corporation) or vacation of more than 25% of the Premises (other than an assignment to or subletting of the entire Premises by a Related Corporation), Tenant's rights under this Section are null and void. Further, this right granted in this Section is personal to Tenant, is not assignable (other than to a Related Corporation assignee) and may not be exercised by any sublessee or assignee of Tenant (other than to a Related Corporation assignee or sublessee of the entire Premises), regardless of whether the sublessee or assignee has been approved by Landlord.

30. OPTION TO EXTEND. As additional consideration for the covenants of Tenant hereunder, Landlord hereby grants Tenant an option (the "Option") to extend the term of the Lease for one (1) term of five (5) years (the "Option Term"). The Option shall apply to all space contained in the Premises at the time and shall be an the following terms and conditions:

A. Exercise of Option. Written notice of Tenant's exercising an Option ("Notice") shall be given to Landlord no earlier than 12 months and no less than 9 months prior to the expiration of the then current Term and, upon the giving of such Notice, this Lease and the Term shall be extended with the same force and effect as if the Option Term had originally been included in the Term and the Expiration Date shall thereupon be deemed to be the last day of the Option Term. Tenant's right to exercise an Option shall be conditioned on there being no uncured Event of Default under the Lease at the time of exercise of the Option or at the time of the commencement of the Option Term.

B. Rent Determination. The Option granted hereunder shall be upon the terms and conditions contained in the Lease except (i) rights of first offer or abilities to request expansion space shall not be applicable, (ii) no Landlord's contributions, tenant allowances or similar concessions shall be applicable, (iii) no leasing commissions shall be payable by Landlord, (iv) the Base Year for Option Term shall be the last year of the initial Lease Term, and (v) the Rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the Option shall be the then Market Rate, as hereinafter defined. Subject to said caveat, Rent for the Option Term shall be determined as follows:

(1) Within 14 days of Landlord's receipt of the Option Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing ("Landlord's Notice") of the proposed Market Rate, and the resulting Rent, applicable to the Option ("Landlord's Rent Rate"). Tenant shall, within 14 days following receipt of Landlord's Notice, notify Landlord in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the Landlord's Rent Rate set forth therein. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord's Notice within such 14-day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord's Rent Rate. If Tenant rejects Landlord's Rent Rate, Tenant's rejection notice shall state Tenant's estimate of the Market Rate, and the resulting Rent, applicable to the Option ("Tenant's Rent Rate"). Landlord shall, within 14 days following receipt of notice of Tenant's Rent Rate, notify Tenant of its acceptance of the Tenant's Rent Rate. If Landlord fails to respond within such 14-day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenant's Rent Rate. Landlord and Tenant shall act in good faith in estimating and proposing their respective determinations of the Market Rate.

(2) If Landlord rejects Tenant's Rent Rate, the parties shall thereafter attempt to negotiate the Rent in good faith. If, however, the parties have not agreed on the Rent within 40 days after the date of the Option Notice, the Rent for the renewal term in question shall be determined as set forth below:

(a) Within 60 days after delivery by Tenant of the Option Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an Appraiser, as hereinafter defined. The two Appraisers shall meet promptly and attempt to determine the Market Rate for the renewal term in question. The determination made by the two Appraisers, if they agree, shall be the Market Rate. If the amounts determined by the two Appraisers vary by less than 5%, then the average of the two values shall be the Market Rate.

(b) If the Market Rate is not established pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) within 10 days following their appointment, the two Appraisers shall immediately select a third Appraiser. If they are unable to agree on a third Appraiser within 5 days, then they shall each select the names of two willing persons qualified to be Appraisers hereunder and from the four persons so named, one name shall be drawn by lot by a representative of Tenant in the presence of a representative of Landlord, and the person whose name is so drawn shall be the third Appraiser. If either of the first two Appraisers fails to select the names of two willing, qualified Appraisers so that a third Appraiser can be selected by lot, as aforesaid, the third Appraiser shall be selected by lot from the two Appraisers which were selected by the other Appraiser for the drawing. The three Appraisers so selected shall confer and immediately proceed to determine the Market Rate for the renewal term in question. If the three Appraisers fail to agree on such Market Rate within 10 days after the selection of the third Appraiser, the average of the two determinations of Market Rate which are closest to each other shall be the Market Rate for the renewal term in question.

(c) The Appraisers selected hereunder shall deliver a signed written report of their appraisal, or the average of the two closer appraisals, as the case may be, to Tenant and Landlord. The fee of the Appraiser initially selected by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant, the fee of the Appraiser initially selected by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord, and the fee of any third Appraiser and any expenses reasonably incident to the appraisal (except attorneys' fees, which shall be borne by the party incurring the same) shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord. Any vacancy in the office of the Appraiser appointed by Tenant shall be filled by Tenant, any vacancy in the office of the Appraiser appointed by Landlord shall be filled by Landlord, and any vacancy in the office of the third Appraiser shall be filled by the first two Appraisers in the manner specified above for the selection of a third Appraiser.

(d) If appraisal proceedings are initiated as provided above in order to determine the Market Rate which is applicable to the term of the Option, the decision and award of the Appraisers as to such Market Rate shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties, absent settlement by agreement of the parties prior to the rendering by the Appraisers of any such decision and award and, further, as provided above, the Rent will be the Market Rate for the applicable renewal term; provided, however, that notwithstanding the determination of Market Rent, in no event shall the Rent be less than the Rent payable in the last year of the Term or, if applicable, the last year of the First Option.

(e) If Rent is not finally determined prior to the commencement of the term of the Option, Tenant shall pay Rent in the amount of the Rent theretofore in effect under this Lease until the final determination of the Rent for the renewal term in question occurs as provided above. If the final determination of such Rent is different from the amount paid by Tenant, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency in Rent or Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant any overpayment of Rent from the commencement of the term of the Option until such final determination. If appraisal proceedings are initiated, as provided above, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall disclose its initial proposal for Market Rate to any of the Appraisers.

C. Appraiser Defined. "Appraiser," used herein, shall mean a person (A) who is impartial, (B) who has at least ten years' experience as a real estate broker in the office building leasing market for the Northwest/Interlocken Denver, Colorado area, (C) who is a senior employee of a nationally or regionally recognized brokerage firm who has not acted as the primary representative on such broker's firm's account for either Landlord or Tenant in the previous three years, and (D) who is a Colorado

licensed real estate broker in good standing and is a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors, or a successor or similar organization of recognized national standing.

Tenant's agreement with its contractors shall require such contractors to provide daily clean up of the construction areas to the extent such clean up is necessitated by the construction of the Tenant Work, and to take reasonable steps to minimize interference with other tenant's use and occupancy of the Buildings.

Further, upon Tenant's installation of a separate meter in the Premises, Landlord shall contribute the Landlord's Meter Contribution towards the actual costs thereof. Hereinafter the term "Landlord's Contribution" shall mean the Landlord's Meter and the Landlord's Contribution.

Within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt and approval of the Draw Request, Landlord shall pay the amount of such draw, less ten percent (10%) of the draw amount thereof; and

(2) After the Tenant's Work is Substantially Complete (as defined in Section 10 hereof), tenant may submit to Landlord a request in writing for the balance of Landlord's Contribution which request shall include: (a) record "as-built" drawings showing all of Tenant's Work as actually constructed, (b) a detailed breakdown of Tenant's final and total construction costs, together with receipted invoices showing payment thereof in accordance with previous Draw Requests, (c) a certified, written statement from Tenant's Architect that all of the Tenant's Work has been completed in accordance with the Drawings, (d) all required AIA forms, supporting final lien waivers, and releases executed by the Architect, General Contractor and all subcontractors and

Upon Landlord's receipt and approval of the Final Draw Request, Landlord shall pay the balance of Landlord's Contribution less the Review Costs by Joint Check, if requested by tenant. Payment by Landlord shall be made within five (5) business days, unless Landlord notifies Tenant, in writing, of its rejection (and the reasons therefore) of any or all of the Final Draw Request and, if so, upon reasonable satisfaction of such objections, Landlord shall pay any remaining sums within five (5) business days. Further, to the extent Landlord does not so reject any portion of said Final Draw Request, Landlord shall timely pay such acceptable portion of the Final Draw Request.

Tenant shall repair or replace (or, at Landlord's election, reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing or replacing) any portion of the Buildings or item of Landlord's equipment or any of Landlord's real or personal property damaged, lost or destroyed in the construction of the Tenant's Work.

If Landlord should disapprove such insurance, Landlord shall specify to Tenant the reasons for its disapproval within five (5) business days after delivery of such certificates. Tenant's agreement with its contractors shall require such contractors to provide daily clean up of the construction areas to the extent such clean up is necessitated by the construction of the Tenant Work, and to take reasonable steps to minimize interference with other tenant's use and occupancy of the Building. Nothing contained herein shall make or constitute Tenant as the agent of Landlord. Tenant and Tenant's contractors shall comply with any other Building rules, regulations or reasonable requirements that Landlord may impose.

6.3 Landlord will permit entry of such contractors into the Additional Space for the purpose of performing such work or after the date Landlord has approved the Drawings. Landlord agrees to supply temporary power, material staging area, dock space, space for Tenant's dumpsters, and access in and out of the Building during the entire construction period at no cost to Tenant and subject to reasonable rules established by Landlord. After hours construction activities by Tenant shall require reimbursement to Landlord for its costs for after hours supervision. Further, all construction activities

(1) No more frequently than once every thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date, Tenant may request in writing a draw, payable to joint check to Tenant and/or Tenant's Contractor and/or any applicable subcontractor ("Joint Check") against the Landlord's Contribution which request shall include (a) receipted invoices (or such other proof of payment as Landlord shall reasonably require) showing payment thereof, (b) a written statement from Tenant's Architect or General Contractor that the Tenant's Work described on any such invoices has been completed in accordance with the Drawings, and (c) all required AIA forms, supporting final lien waivers and releases executed by the General Contractor and all subcontractors employed in connection with such portion of the Tenant's Work (collectively the "Draw Request"). Within ten (10) business days following Landlord's receipt and approval of the Draw Request, Landlord shall pay the amount of such draw, less ten percent (10%) thereof; and

(2) After the Tenant's Work is Substantially Complete (as defined in Section 10 hereof), Tenant may submit to Landlord a request in writing for the balance of Landlord's Contribution which request shall include: (a) record "as-built" drawings showing all of Tenant's Work as actually constructed, (b) a detailed breakdown of Tenant's final and total construction costs, together with receipted invoices showing payment thereof in accordance with previous Draw Requests, (c) a certified, written statement from Tenant's Architect that all of the Tenant's Work has been completed in accordance with the Drawings, (d) all required AIA forms, supporting final lien waivers, and releases executed by the Architect, General Contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers in connection with Tenant's Work, and (e) a copy of a certificate of occupancy or amended certificate of occupancy required with respect to the Additional Space, together with all licenses, certificates, permits and other government authorizations necessary in connection with Tenant's Work and the operation of Tenant's business from the Additional Space ("Final Draw Request"). Upon Landlord's receipt and approval of the Final Draw Request, Landlord shall pay the balance of Landlord's Contribution less the Review Costs by Joint Check, if requested by Tenant. Landlord shall pay said full remaining amount of the Landlord's contribution whether or not the final actual costs in the Tenant Work and the meter installation are less than Landlord's contribution. Payment by Landlord shall be made within five (5) business days, unless Landlord notifies Tenant, in writing, of its rejection (and the reasons therefor) of any or all of the Final Draw Request and, if so, upon reasonable satisfaction of such objections, Landlord shall pay any

remaining sums within five (5) business days. Further, to the extent Landlord does not so reject any portion of said Final Draw Request, Landlord shall timely pay such acceptable portion of the Final Draw Request.
