square feet ("Rentable Area"), such Premises being generally depicted on the

floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this

reference, which Premises may be adjusted as set forth herein. The Premises are

situated in that certain building known as 390 Interlocken Crescent located at

390 Interlocken Crescent, Broomfield, Colorado ("Building"), which Building is

situated on that certain real Property ("Property") legally described in Exhibit

B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, together with a

non-exclusive right subject to the provisions hereof, to use all appurtenances

thereto, including, but not limited to, any plazas, common areas, walkways or

other areas in the Building or on the Property designated by Landlord from time

to time for the non-exclusive use of the tenants of the Building, all of which

inclusive of the Building are hereinafter collectively called the "Building

Complex".

 

      Such letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, conditions and

covenants herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the

consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms,

conditions and covenants by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is

made upon the condition of such performance.

 

                                    ARTICLE 2

Majeure Delays" means any actual delay in the construction of the Tenant

Improvements contemplated by the Space Plan resulting from events beyond the

      Base Rent which shall be payable in equal monthly installments without

notice, deduction, set-off or abatement (except as set forth in Articles 21 and

22 hereof this Lease) to Landlord at the address for Landlord set forth in

Article 26 or such other address as Landlord may notify Tenant of in writing, in

lawful money of the United States payable in advance on the first day of each

month. If the Lease Term commences or terminates on a day other than the first

or last day of a calendar month respectively, then the installments of Base Rent

for such month or months shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in

such month and the installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. The term

"Lease Year" shall mean each twelve (12) full month period subsequent to the

first Lease Year. If the Lease Term begins on a date other than the first day of

a month, the first Lease Year shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall

continue until the last day of the twelfth (12th) full month thereafter. Base

Rent for any such partial month shall be prorated for such month and shall be

due and payable on the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the above-referenced

rental rates, fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's Base Rent and Operating Expenses

for the first year of the Lease Term shall be abated; provided, however, that

Tenant shall commence paying full Rent on the entire Premises on the first day

of the thirteenth (13th) month of the Lease Term and should Tenant occupy more

than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises during the first year of the Lease

Term, then Tenant shall be responsible for payment of the percentage of

Operating Expenses which is applicable to the percentage of the Premises

occupied.

 

 

                                       2

<PAGE>

 

 

      3.2 Additional Rent. Any other sums of money or charges to be paid by

Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease are designated as "Additional

Rent". A failure to pay Additional Rent shall be treated in all events as the

failure to pay rent.

 

      3.3 Interest on Late Payments and Late Payment Charge. Any rent (whether

Base Rent or Additional Rent) or other amount due from Tenant to Landlord under

this Lease not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the

date paid at the rate of two percent (2%) per month ("Default Rate"), but the

payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under

this Lease. Failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any

one or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right

to charge and collect such interest in connection with any other or similar or

like late payments.

 

      Notwithstanding the above, in the event any rent or other amounts owing

hereunder are not paid within five (5) days after the due date, then Landlord

and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses,

the amount of which will be difficult if not impossible to determine.

Accordingly, in addition to such required payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord

an additional late charge for any such late payment in the amount of five

percent (5%) of the amount of such late payment.

 

                                   ARTICLE 4

                     TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT

                     --------------------------------------

 

      In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Real Estate

Taxes and Operating Expenses (which sum may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2)

for the Building Complex as hereinafter set forth in this Section.

 

      4.1 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings

with respect to the provisions of this Lease:

determined by Landlord and included in the Supplemental Agreement. At such time,

if ever, any space is added to or subtracted from the Premises as herein below

provided, Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted by Landlord accordingly.

thereof; and (y) any tax upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant

or structural repairs to the Building or Property required by any change in the

laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or otherwise which were not in effect on

the date Landlord obtained its building permit to construct the Building

required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction

over the Building which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of the

capital improvements or structural repair; and any costs incurred by Landlord in

making capital improvements or other modifications to the Building or any part

thereof, which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvement

or modification with interest on the unamortized amount at the rate of the

greater of twelve percent (12%) per annum or three percent (3%) above the Prime

Rate (as defined in Section 28.11), in accordance with such reasonable life and

amortization schedules and shall be determined in accordance with generally

<PAGE>

 

 

                  (i) Costs of maintenance and repair reimbursed by insurance

                  (ii) Alterations or other specific costs attributable solely

to other tenants' space in the Building which under the terms of the respective

lease is such tenant's responsibility;

                  (iv) Leasing commissions, advertising and marketing expenses,

with the financing or refinancing of the Building Complex;

 

                  (vi) Landlord's costs in enforcing leases for other tenants in

                  (vii) Any charge for depreciation of the Building.

 

            (d) "Variable Operating Expenses" shall mean those Operating

Expenses which vary with occupancy levels or which vary with areas serviced

based upon occupied Rentable Area or which are paid directly by tenants of the

Building. Landlord may equitably make adjustments to Operating Expenses to

account for such Variable Operating Expenses.

 

            (e) If during any year of the term of this Lease, including the Base

Year or portion thereof, the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%)

occupied for periods greater than one hundred eight (180) consecutive days,

those Operating Expenses which vary with occupancy levels of the Building shall

be equitably adjusted by Landlord to reflect the level of Operating Expenses

which reasonably would be incurred if the Building were ninety-five (95%)

occupied.

 

      4.2 Payments of Taxes and Operating Expenses. It is hereby agreed that

during each Lease Year of the Lease Term Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's

Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for

the Building Complex as set forth above. It is agreed that Tenant shall, during

each calendar year pay to Landlord an estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of

such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses as hereinafter set forth.

 

 

                                       5

<PAGE>

 

 

Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month on

the first day of the month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Pro

Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year

in question as reasonably estimated by Landlord, with an adjustment to be made

between the parties at a later date as hereinafter provided. If the Commencement

Date is not the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay a prorated

portion of its Pro Rata Share of such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses

for such partial month on the Commencement Date. Furthermore, Landlord may from

time to time but no more than three (3) times during any Lease Year furnish

Tenant with notice of a re-estimation of the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share

and Tenant shall commence paying its re-estimated Pro Rata Share on the first

day of the month following receipt of said notice. As soon as practicable

following the end of any calendar year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a

statement setting forth the exact amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real

Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed and the

difference, if any, between Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate

Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed and the

estimated amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and

Operating Expenses (which were paid in accordance with this subparagraph) for

such year. Such statement shall also set forth the amount of the estimated Real

Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses reimbursement for the new calendar year

computed in accordance with the foregoing provisions. To the extent that

Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses

for the period covered by such statement is higher than the estimated payments

which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Tenant

shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days following receipt

of said statement from Landlord. To the extent that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of

the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the period covered by

the Statements is less than the estimated payments which Tenant previously paid

during the calendar year just completed, Landlord shall at its option either

refund said amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days or credit the difference

against Tenant's estimated reimbursement for such Real Estate Taxes and

Operating Expenses for the current year. In addition, with respect to the

monthly reimbursement, until Tenant receives such statement, Tenant's monthly

reimbursement for the new calendar year shall continue to be paid at the then

current rate, but Tenant shall commence payment to Landlord of the monthly

installments of reimbursement on the basis of the statement beginning on the

first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such

statement.

 

      Tenant's obligation with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate

Taxes and Operating Expenses shall survive the expiration or early 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 payment of Tenant's Pro Rata

Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the portion of

the final calendar year of the Lease during which Tenant was obligated to pay

such expenses. If Tenant occupies the Premises for less than a full calendar

year during the first or last calendar years of the term hereof, Tenant's Pro

Rata Share for such partial year shall be calculated by proportionately reducing

the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses to reflect the number of months in

such year during which Tenant occupied the Premises. Tenant shall pay its Pro

Rata Share within fifteen (15) days following receipt of notice thereof.

 

 

                                       6

<PAGE>

 

 

      Tenant shall have the right, but not more than once per annum, at any time

Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue such services or any of

them, or electric current at such times as may be necessary by reason of

accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations, or improvements, or

or any other happening or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

If Landlord is unable to furnish such services or electric current, Landlord

shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such

discontinuance, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as a

constructive or actual eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or

operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord's

obligation to furnish services or electric current shall be conditioned upon the

availability of adequate energy sources from the public utility companies

presently serving the Building Complex. Landlord shall have the right to reduce

notice thereof from Tenant (each an "Unauthorized Interruption"), Tenant's rent

shall abate provided that Landlord can recover such rent through Landlord's rent

loss/business interruption insurance covering the Building and Landlord has not

corrected or remediated the cause of such Unauthorized Interruption within such

seven (7) day period. Such abatement shall commence at the end of said seven (7)

day period and continue until such time as the Premises are rendered tenantable.

follows: (a) if the Unauthorized Interruption is the result of any willful

misconduct or negligent acts on the part of Tenant, its agents, contractors,

employees, express or implied invitees, or servants, or due to Tenant's default,

rent shall not abate, (b) if Tenant continues to nonetheless use any part of the

Premises for conducting its business, rent shall abate only in proportion to the

part rendered untenantable and not so used, (c) if Landlord's rent loss/business

interruption insurance will only cover a portion of Tenant's rent, the rent

shall abate only as to the portion covered by such insurance, and (d) if

Tenant's assignees, sublessees or other transferees are not entitled to rent

abatement, rent shall not abate.
