Tenant shall continuously and uninterruptedly during the term of this Lease, occupy and use the leased premises for the purposes hereinabove specified unless prevented from so

doing by causes beyond Tenant's control Tenant shall not carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the leased premises which will, in any way, void or make void able or tend to increase the rates for any insurance on the leased premises and/or the improvements of which the leased premises are a part and/or the real property on which said improvements are located. 18. INDEMNITY TO LANDLORD Tenant hereby agrees to defend, pay, indemnify, and save free and harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, fines, suits, actions, proceedings, orders, decrees and judgments of any kind or nature by or in favor of anyone whomsoever and from and against any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from or in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage arising, directly or indirectly, out of or from or on account of any occurrence in, upon, at, or from the premises or occasioned wholly or in part through the use and occupancy of the premises or any improvement therein or appurtenances thereto, or by any act or omission or negligence of Tenant or any subtenant, concessionaire or licensee of Tenant, or their respective employees, agents or contractors, in, upon, at or from the lease premises or its appurtenances. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act of negligence of the Tenant, or of its agents or employees, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In addition to the above, Tenant shall obtain and maintain throughout the term of this Lease a comprehensive general liability policy, including protection against death, personal injury, and property damage, issued by an insurance company qualified to do business in the State of Colorado, with a single limit of not less than $1,000,000 property damage coverage.

DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES In the event of a partial destruction of the premises during the term from any cause, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided the repairs can be made within thirty (30) days under the laws and regulations of applicable governmental authorities. Any partial destruction shall neither annul or void this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while the repairs are being made, any proportionate reduction being based on the extent to which the making of repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the premises. In the event that Landlord does not elect to make repairs that cannot be made in the specified time, or those repairs cannot be made under the laws and regulations of the applicable governmental authorities, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party.

Should the building in which the demised premises are situated be destroyed to the extent of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof, this Lease shall be terminated. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant relative to the provisions of this section shall be subject to arbitration. Each party shall select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator between them, the controversy being heard by the three arbitrators so selected. The decision of the three arbitrators shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant, who shall bear the cost of the arbitration equally between them. 20. DEFAULT - REMEDIES OF LANDLORD If Tenant shall default in the payment of rent or in the keeping of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to be kept and/or performed by Tenant, Landlord may, after Tenant is given ten (10) days' notice and Tenant fails to cure said default, or at any time thereafter, reenter the leased premises, remove all persons and property there from without being liable to indictment, prosecution for damage therefore, or forcible entry and detainer, and repossess and enjoy the leased premises, together with all additions thereto or alterations and improvements thereof. If Tenant shall default in any payment or in keeping any term of this Lease, Landlord's claim against Tenant for such default shall give rise to a lien on any fixtures, additions, furniture, and the like belonging to Tenant in the leased premises. Landlord may, at it option, at any time and from time to time thereafter, relet the leased premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant or otherwise and receive and collect the rents therefore and apply the same first to the payment of such expenses, including attorneys' fees, as Landlord may have incurred in recovering possession and for putting the same in good order and condition for re-rental and expenses, commissions and charges paid by Landlord in reletting the leased premises. Any such reletting may be for the remainder of the term of this Lease or for a longer or shorter period. In lieu of reletting such leased premises, Landlord may occupy the same or cause the same to be occupied by others. Whether the leased premises or any pat thereof be relet, Tenant shall pay the Landlord the rent and all other charges required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of the expiration of this Lease or of such recovered possession, as the case may be, and thereafter, Tenant, if r3equired by Landlord, shall pay to Landlord until the end of the term of this Lease, the equivalent of the amount of all rent reserved herein and all other charges required to be paid by Tenant, less the net amount received by Landlord for such reletting, if any. In the event of any default by Tenant, and regardless of whether the premises shall be relet or possessed by Landlord, any fixtures, additions, furniture and the like then on the premises may be retained by Landlord. In the event Tenant is in default under the terms hereof and, by the sole determination of Landlord, has abandoned the leased premises, Landlord shall have the right to remove all the Tenant's property from the leased premises and dispose of said property in such manner as determined best by Landlord, all at the cost and expense of Tenant and without liability of Landlord for the actions so taken. In the event an assignment of Tenant's business or property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, or, if the Tenant's leasehold interest under the terms of this Agreement shall be levied upon by execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any court of law, or if application be made for the appointment of a receiver for the business or property of Tenant, or, if a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by or against Tenant, then in any such case, at Landlord's

option, without notice, Landlord may terminate this Lease and immediately retake possession of the leased premises without the same working any forfeiture of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. In addition to the remedy granted to Landlord by the terms hereof, Landlord shall have available any and all rights and remedies available under the Statutes of the State of Colorado. No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Further, all powers and remedies given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised, from time to time, and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right of power or shall be considered to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence thereof. The acceptance of rental by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of any of the covenants herein contained or of any of the rights of Landlord to any remedies herein given. 21. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - RESPONSIBILITY In the event of any proceeding at law or in equity wherein Landlord shall be made a part to any litigation by reason by Tenant's interest in the leased premises, and/or Tenant's occupancy thereof, Tenant's relation thereto or Tenant's default hereunder, Landlord shall be allowed and Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 22. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING Tenant may not assign the Lease, or sublet the leased premises without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 23.

The

taking of land as noted herein shall not be considered as a breach of this lease by Landlord, not give rise to any claims in Tenant for damages or compensation form Landlord. 26. INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS OTHER THAN RENT Any amount due to Landlord other than rent not paid when due shall bear interest at one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month from due date until paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease and a tenday grace period until paid. 27. COLLECTION SERVICE CHARGE FOR LATE RENT PAYMENT Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant in addition to any amount otherwise due under the terms of this Lease a collection service charge of $40 per day for any rent due to Landlord hereunder which is more than ten (10) days late for a maximum of twenty (20) days of each month.

After the twenty-day flat rate collection service charge, the delinquent rent for that month, together with the flat rate collection service charge, shall accrue interest at one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month from due date until paid.

This lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any mortgage or Deed of Trust (now or hereafter placed upon the building of which the leased premises are a part, or any portion thereof), including any amendment, modification, or restatement of any of such documents, and to any and all advances made under any mortgage or Deed of Trust and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacement and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any of the foregoing documents, no documentation, other than this Lease, shall be required to evidence such subordination. B. If any holder of a mortgage or Deed of Trust shall elect to have this Lease superior to the lien of the holder's mortgage or Deed of Trust and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or Deed of Trust, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or Deed of Trust or the date of recording thereof.

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 herein or a holder of any mortgage or Deed of Trust encumbering the property.

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 leased premises. No payment by Tenant or receipt of Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly rent and all other amounts owing, as herein stipulated, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated 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 and

Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. B. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any statements, representations, agreements or warranties by Landlord, its agents or employees, except such as are expressed herein and that no amendment or modification of this Lease shall be valid or binding unless expressed in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner as the execution of this Lease. 33. CONTROLLING LAW The Lease, and all terms hereunder shall be construed consistent with the laws of the State of Colorado. 34. BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and assigns. This Lease shall be signed by the parties in duplicate, each of which shall be a complete and effective original Lease. 35.
