6:00 A.M., subject to Equipment availablity. The Authority may schedule such
additional Hours up to 60 days in advance. The Authority will be charged
$65.00 for each additional Hour.
TDI shall schedule all maintenance between the hours of 2:00 A.M. and
6:00 A.M. as far in advance as practicable. To the extent the Equipment is
unavailable for use when scheduled, TDI shall use its best efforts to
accommodate the user or users scheduled during that time and reschedule a
similar number of Hours as soon as possible.
SECTION 3.08. SALE OF THE AUTHORITY'S HOURS. TDI shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to sell such of the Authority's 1,000 Hours
per Year as the Authority may request from time to time, as agent for the
Authority at a market rate to be established by TDI and agreed to by the
Authority. TDI shall bill and collect for the sale of the excess hours and
remit to the Authority fifty percent (50%) of the collected fees within ten
(10) days from the end of each month. The remaining 50% shall be retained by
TDI as its fees for selling the Hours. TDI shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to collect such fees, but shall not commence any action in the
Authority's name without the prior written consent of the Authority. However,
TDI shall not be
<PAGE>
responsible for any bad debts. TDI will provide monthly reports on the status of
the sale of the Authority's Hours and the collection of the fees relating
thereto. TDI makes no warranties or representations about the number of Hours
that will be sold or the hourly rate that will be achieved.
SECTION 3.09. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Upon entering into each
Fractional Share Agreement, TDI shall assign to the Authority TDI's right of
first refusal to purchase each Fractional Share Owner's Fractional Share and to
purchase the Equipment all as set forth in the applicable Fractional Share
Agreement; provided, however that the Authority shall have no obligation to
purchase the Equipment or any Fractional Share. In the event the Authority
purchases any other Fractional Share, the Authority shall assume the Fractional
Ownership Agreement relating thereto, including the obligation to pay monthly
and hourly fees as set forth therein. The Authority hereby grants to TDI a right
of first refusal to acquire the Authority's Fractional Share. The Authority
shall not sell or otherwise transfer any interest in or to its Fractional Share,
other than to a related party, without first offering such Fractional Share to
TDI and granting TDI 60 days in which to purchase the Fractional Share at the
purchase price offered by a bona fide third party purchaser.
SECTION 3.10. LIENS. TDI covenants and agrees that on or before the
Transfer Date it shall cause the 1st Choice Lien to be paid in full and released
and otherwise, throughout the term of this Agreement, it shall not cause or
suffer to exist any Prohibited Lien and shall take any and all actions necessary
to release any Prohibited Lien.
SECTION 3.11. LOCATION. Except as set forth in Section 4.01, the
Equipment shall remain at the Center at all times during the term of this
Agreement and may not be moved without the prior written consent of the
Authority.
SECTION 3.12. SALE OF EQUIPMENT. The Equipment may be sold only upon a
determination by Fractional Share Owners owning all Fractional Shares. In the
event the Fractional Share Owners elect to sell the Equipment, TDI shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Equipment at the highest price then
available, but for not less than the amount, if any, designated by the
Fractional Share Owners. In the event of the sale of the Equipment, the proceeds
of such sale, less a sales commission of 3% of the sales price, but not less
than $40,000.00, payable to TDI, shall be distributed to each Fractional Share
Owner based on the number of Fractional Shares owned by such Fractional Share
Owner. TDI shall cause the Fractional Ownership Agreements to provide that the
Equipment may be sold as provided herein. TDI shall not receive such sales
commission if the Equipment is sold to the Authority or a related party thereof.
SECTION 3.13. COVENANTS OF TDI. TDI covenants and agrees that (a)
there shall be not more than seven Fractional Shares at any time and (b) the
Fractional Ownership Agreements shall provide that this Agreement and the
Fractional Ownership Agreements may be terminated on the terms and conditions
set forth in Section 9.01.

Premises for timely Equipment installation and subsequent FAA qualification is

after the date hereof, TDI shall provide the Authority with the Installation
Date, which shall not be earlier than 12 months after the date hereof. If the
Premises is not ready for installation of the Equipment on or prior to the
Installation Date, the Authority may postpone the Installation Date for up 30

Equipment shall be FAA certified at the TDI facility and remain there for not
less than 12 months, after which the Authority may, at its expense, instruct TDI
to relocate the Equipment to the Center. Timing of the relocation shall require
the concurrence of all Fractional Share Owners. In such event, TDI shall have no
obligation under the Lease until the Equipment is relocated to the Premises.

not be available on the Installation Date, TDI shall be liable under the
Lease and shall be liable for all other actual Center operating costs as if
the Equipment was installed as of the Installation Date.

other in writing and consult with the other as to any matter, which, in the

machine or telecopier is to be treated as an original document. The signature
of any party thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original
signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the same
binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the
request of any party, any facsimile or telecopy document is to be re-executed
in original form by the parties who executed the facsimile or telecopy
document. No party may raise the use of a facsimile machine or telecopier or
the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a facsimile or
telecopier machine as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement or any
amendment or other document executed in compliance with this Section.
SECTION 10.12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by
and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of
Colorado without regard to its provisions on conflict of laws.

the other for confidential or proprietary information which (i) at time of
disclosure is in the public domain; (ii) after disclosure becomes part of the
public domain through no violation of this Agreement by the receiving Party;
(iii) as shown by written records, was in the possession of the receiving
Party prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party hereunder; (iv) hereafter

confidential obligation with respect thereto; or (v) is independently
developed by the receiving Party as shown by written records. Upon completion
or termination of this Agreement, if directed by the disclosing Party in
writing, all proprietary information shall be returned. Neither TDI nor the
Authority shall be liable for any inadvertent disclosure, publication, or
statement, provided it exercised the same degree of care it normally takes to
protect and safeguard its own proprietary information. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, TDI may describe this Agreement
and any related arrangements in documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or other securities regulatory agencies or documents sent
to shareholders of TDI. TDI may make this Agreement or related documents
exhibits to any registration statement of TDI filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

use whatsoever of the corporate or trade name of a Party, or any of their

unless the written consent of the other Party is first obtained.
SECTION 10.16. RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss, damage or destruction
to the Equipment from fire, theft or other casualty or cause shall be borne

fire, casualty or other cause prior to the Qualification Date, TDI shall
notify the Authority of same in writing immediately. TDI shall maintain
appropriate insurance to cover the full replacement value of the Equipment,
together with consequential losses, including loss of profits that would be
incurred if the Equipment was damaged, destroyed or stolen, naming the
Authority as a third party insured.

personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax
returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally be required
to so file. Upon request, each party shall provide, to the
extent it possesses the same, the other with cost and
depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any
portion of the Leased Premises so classified as personal
property. Landlord shall use its best efforts to give prompt
Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant
hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Landlord's failure to give any such
Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder
to pay such Impositions.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, in
the event that Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines
that it will deliver payment of any Impositions referred to in
this Section to the appropriate taxing or Government Agencies,
then, in such event, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of the
delivery of payment of said Impositions by Landlord to the
appropriate taxing or Government Agencies and the amount of
<PAGE>
Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Impositions so paid by
Landlord to the appropriate taxing or Government Agencies, and
the amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Impositions
paid by Landlord on account of said Impositions thereafter
shall be reimbursed and paid by Tenant to Landlord on the next
succeeding Minimum Rent payment date and shall be added to the
next or any subsequent rent thereafter to become due as
Landlord elects and shall be collectible as such as Additional
Rent. It is understood and agreed by Landlord and Tenant that
notwithstanding Landlord's determination pursuant to this
Section to deliver the payment of said Impositions to the
appropriate taxing or Government Agencies, that the obligation
to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of said Impositions during
the Term of this Lease shall be the obligation of Tenant
hereunder at all times whether said Impositions shall be paid
by Tenant directly to Landlord or reimbursed to Landlord as
stipulated herein if Landlord so elects. Furthermore, it
expressly is understood that payment by Landlord of any said
Impositions, whether pursuant to this Section or in the Event
of Default hereunder, shall not be deemed to waive or release
the obligation of Tenant to make payment for said Impositions
or to waive or release any rights of Landlord hereunder.
(ii) REAL ESTATE TAXES. Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord funds for the payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share
of Real Estate Taxes, as estimated by Landlord at the
commencement of the Term, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly
installments in advance on the first day of each and every
calendar month during the Term of this Lease; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that notwithstanding any provision contained herein,
upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord funds for payment of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of the Real Estate Taxes for the Leased Premises for the
year 1999, based upon the 1998 Real Estate Taxes. At any time
during the Term, Landlord may re-estimate Tenant's Real Estate
Tax obligations and thereafter adjust Tenant's equal monthly
installments thereof. In the event that the laws of the State
of Colorado shall be altered so as to reduce or replace the
amount of the Real Estate Taxes on the Leased Premises and in
place thereof impose any tax, charge, or assessment against
the holder of any mortgage on the Leased Premises, or any
note, bond or other indebtedness secured thereby, or any tax
on this Lease or leasehold estate, then Tenant shall pay
Tenant's Proportionate Share of such tax, charge or assessment
as Additional Rent.
It is understood and agreed by and between Landlord
and Tenant that, at all times during the Term of this Lease,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
elect at its option, to challenge the assessed value of the
Leased Premises and/or to challenge the Real Estate Taxes
levied or assessed against the Leased Premises. In any such
event, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the services of
individuals or companies of its selection, including, but not
limited to, attorneys and appraisers to support such
challenge. It is understood and agreed that Landlord shall be
authorized to arrange for payment of such services as a
percentage of the reduction in the Real Estate Taxes payable
for the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees, as Additional Rent, to
reimburse Landlord for Tenant's Proportionate Share of any
such payments within ten (10) days of Landlord's
<PAGE>
written demand for such payment.
(iii) UTILITY CHARGES. Landlord shall ensure that the
Leased Premises are wired to meet the electricity requirements
set forth in the Specifications. Landlord shall cause to be
installed a separate meter to measure the amount of
electricity used by the Leased Premises. Tenant shall pay or
cause to be paid promptly, as and when the same shall become
due and payable, all charges for electricity used by the
Leased Premises. [AND THE COSTS OF THE SEPARATE METER?]
Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid promptly, as and
when the same shall become due and payable, Tenant's
Proportionate Share of all water rents, rates and charges, all
sewer rents and all charges for power, gas, oil, heat, steam,
hot water and other utilities, including charges for repairing
and setting meters, supplied to the Leased Premises at anytime
during the Term of this Lease (collectively with electricity
charges, the "Utility Charges"). Tenant shall keep the Leased
Premises sufficiently heated so as to prevent freezing and
deterioration thereof and/or of the equipment and facilities
contained therein.
(iv) INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Tenant shall pay or cause to
be paid all premiums for insurance coverage required to be
maintained by Tenant pursuant to Article VIII.
(v) BUILDING SERVICES. Tenant shall pay or cause to
be paid Tenant's Proportionate Share of the building services
costs listed in Section 5.01.
(vi) OTHER CHARGES. Tenant shall pay or cause to be
paid all other amounts, liabilities and obligations that
Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease, including,
without limitation, all agreements to indemnify Landlord under
Sections 4.03(c) (Environmental), 5.02(b) (Legal Requirement
Compliance), 6.01 (Liens), 7.01 (Permitted Contests) and 8.08
(General Indemnification).
(vii) SECURITY DEPOSIT. On the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $_____ (the "Security
Deposit") which shall be held by Landlord for the performance
of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it
being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not
be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of
Landlord's damage in case of Default hereunder by Tenant, and
shall be held by Landlord without payment of any interest
thereon. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant
under this Lease, without prejudice to any other remedy,
Landlord from time to time may use the Security Deposit to the
extent necessary to make good any arrears of Rents or to
repair any damage or injury or pay any expense or liability
incurred by Landlord as a result of an Event of Default or
breach of covenant, and any remaining balance of the Security
Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon the
termination of this Lease. If any portion of the Security
Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord, upon ten (10) days' Notice from Landlord, by cash or
cashier's check an amount
<PAGE>
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. The Security deposit may be assigned and
transferred by Landlord to the Successor Landlord, and upon
acknowledgment by such Successor Landlord of receipt of
such security and its assumption of the obligation to
account to Tenant for such security in accordance with the
terms of this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be discharged
of any further obligation relating thereto.
(viii) PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD. Except as otherwise
provided herein, in the event that Landlord shall pay any sum
of money, or do any act which shall require the expenditure of
any sums by reason of the failure of Tenant to perform any of
the covenants, terms or conditions herein contained, Tenant
covenants to repay promptly such sums with interest at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, to Landlord upon
demand, and in Default thereof, the sums so paid by Landlord
and the interest thereon, may be added as Additional Rent to
the Minimum Rent becoming due upon the next Rent Day, or, at
Landlord's option, on any subsequent Rent Day and shall be
payable as such. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be
construed to postpone the right of Landlord, immediately upon
expending such sums, to collect such sums by action or
otherwise.
(ix) LATE CHARGES. If any installment of Minimum Rent
or Additional Rent (but only as to those Additional Rents that
are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid on its due
date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional
Rent, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) equal to
five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment. To the
extent that Tenant timely pays any Additional Rent directly to
Landlord pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Tenant
shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional
Rent to the Entity to which it would otherwise be due.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any
Additional Rent when due to any Entity other than Landlord,
Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Rent,
every fine, penalty, interest and cost that may be added by
the Entity to which such Additional Rents are due (other than
Landlord) for nonpayment or late payment of such items.
SECTION 3.02. PAYMENT OF RENT. Tenant, during the Term hereby granted,
shall pay to Landlord, at such place as it, in writing, shall designate, and to
such person, firm or corporation as Landlord, in writing, shall designate, or to
its assignee, the Minimum Rent and any Additional Rent due hereunder. Until
further notice from Landlord, said Minimum Rent and any Additional Rent shall be
paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, on the date due,
to the account identified on SCHEDULE 3.02. [WANT WIRE PAYMENTS?]
SECTION 3.03. NET LEASE. The Rents shall be absolutely net to Landlord
so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments
or amounts of Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Lease which expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of such Rent. It is
the intention of the parties that Landlord shall receive the Rents herein
reserved free from all taxes, charges, expenses, damages and deductions of every
<PAGE>
description, and that Tenant shall pay all of the above items and expenses and
damages which, except for the execution and delivery of this Lease, would have
been chargeable against the Leased Premises and payable by Landlord.
SECTION 3.04. NO TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall
neither take any action without the consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or
terminate this Lease, nor seek, nor be entitled to, any abatement, deduction,
deferment or reduction of the Rents, or set-off against the Rents, nor shall the
respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of
(a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof
from whatever cause or any Condemnation; (b) the lawful, or unlawful prohibition
of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, or any portion
thereof, or the interference with such use by any Person; (c) any claim that
Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any
warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord
and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee
of Landlord; or (e) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing, other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations as a
matter of law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not apply or be
construed to restrict any other rights Tenant may have as a result of any act or
omission by Landlord constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant
hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now
or hereafter be conferred upon it by law, to (i) modify, surrender or terminate
this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or
(ii) entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the
Rents or other sums payable or other obligations to be performed by Tenant
hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The
obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and
agreements, and the Rents and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall
continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same
shall be terminated pursuant to the express provision of this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, in any
instance where, after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, this
Lease expressly permits Landlord to retain funds which, but for the Default or
Event of Default, would be payable to Tenant, Landlord shall refund such funds
to Tenant to the extent that the amount exceeds the amount estimated by Landlord
in good faith to be necessary to compensate Landlord for any cost, loss or
damage incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with such
Default or Event of Default.
ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.01. PERMITTED USE.
(a) PRIMARY INTENDED USE. Tenant shall have the right, at all
times during the Term and at any other time that Tenant shall be in
possession of any Leased Premises, to use the Leased Premises for the
operation of a full flight simulator training center and for
<PAGE>
such other uses as may be incidental or necessary thereto (such use
being hereinafter referred to as the Leased Premises' "Primary
Intended Use"). Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises or any
portion thereof for any use inconsistent with the Primary Intended Use
without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not take
or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which materially
impairs the value or the usefulness of the Leased Premises or any part
thereof for its Primary Intended Use.
(b) NECESSARY APPROVALS. Tenant shall proceed with all due
diligence and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and
maintain all Licenses necessary to use and operate, for its Primary
Intended Use, the Leased Premises and Leased Premises located thereon
under Legal Requirements and Landlord shall cooperate with respect to
obtaining any such Licenses, including joining in any application for
Licenses to the extent required by Legal Requirements.
(c) LAWFUL USE. Tenant shall not use, and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit third parties from using,
the Leased Premises or Tenant's Personal Property for any unlawful
purpose. Tenant shall not commit, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts not to suffer to be committed, any waste on the Leased
Premises, or in the Leased Premises, nor shall Tenant cause or permit
any nuisance thereon or therein. Tenant shall not use, and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit third parties from using,
the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, including Tenant's Personal
Property, in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair
Landlord's (or Tenant's, as the case may be) title thereto or to any
portion thereof; or (ii) may reasonably make possible a claim or claims
for adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, or of implied
dedication of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. Tenant shall
not use, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit
third parties from using, the Leased Premises in any manner that will
cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased
Premises or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy is
available), nor shall Tenant sell or otherwise provide to customers,
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit third parties
from keeping, using or selling in or about the Leased Premises, any
article which may be prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire
insurance policies, or any other insurance policies required to be
carried hereunder, or fire underwriter's regulations.
SECTION 4.02. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Subject

comply in all material respects with Legal Requirements and Insurance

Tenant's Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection,
installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Premises or any part
thereof.
SECTION 4.03. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(a) RESTRICTIONS ON USE. Tenant shall not store, spill upon,
dispose of or
<PAGE>
transfer to or from the Leased Premises any Hazardous Materials,
except that Tenant may store, transfer and dispose of Hazardous
Materials in compliance with all Environmental Laws. Tenant promptly
shall: (i) notify Landlord in writing of any material change in the
nature or extent of Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises of
which Tenant has notice or actual knowledge; (ii) transmit to Landlord
a copy of any Community Right to Know report which is required to be
filed by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises pursuant to Title

other Environmental Law; (iii) transmit to Landlord copies of any
demand letters, complaints or other documents initiating legal action,
citations, orders, notices or other material communications asserting
claims by private parties or Government Agencies with respect to
Hazardous Materials received by Tenant or its agents or
representatives (collectively, "Environmental Notice"), which
Environmental Notice requires a written response or any action to be
taken and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of and/or could
give rise to a material violation of any Environmental Law and/or
could give rise to any material cost, expense, loss or damage (an
"Environmental Obligation"); (iv) subject to Section 4.03(b), use
commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all Environmental Laws
relating to the use, maintenance and disposal of Hazardous Materials
and all orders or directives from any official, court or agency of
competent jurisdiction relating to the use or maintenance thereof or
requiring the removal, treatment, containment or other disposition
thereof; and (v) subject to Section 4.03(b), pay or otherwise dispose
of any fine, charge or imposition related thereto, unless Tenant shall
contest the same in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and the
right to use, and the value of, the Leased Premises are not adversely
affected thereby in any substantial manner.
Tenant shall submit to Landlord on an annual basis copies of
its approved Hazardous Materials communication plan, OSHA monitoring
plan, and permits required by the Resource Recovery and Conservation
Act of 1976, if Tenant is required to prepare, file or obtain any such
plans or permits.
If at any time Hazardous Materials are discovered in violation
of Environmental Laws on the Leased Premises, subject to Section
4.03(b), Tenant shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to take
all actions and incur any and all expenses (which actions and expenses
shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in Emergency Situations, in
which case Landlord's prior approval shall not be required) as may be
necessary or required by any Government Agency to: (i) clean up and
remove from and about the Leased Premises all Hazardous Materials
thereon; (ii) contain and prevent any further release or threat of
release of Hazardous Materials on or about the Leased Premises; and
(iii) use good faith efforts to eliminate any further release or threat
of release of Hazardous Materials on or about the Leased Premises.
(b) TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISPOSAL. It shall be Tenant's
responsibility to see that any Hazardous Material which is required to
be disposed of by Tenant pursuant to Environmental Law or this Section
4.03 is (i) temporarily stored on the Leased Premises in a manner
consistent with all Environmental Laws, and (ii) is removed and handled
by an
<PAGE>
individual or firm licensed, in the case of Hazardous Material, to
dispose of such material. If Tenant fails to dispose of such Hazardous
Material as required by this Lease, Landlord may (but is not required
to) dispose of or contract for disposal and Tenant shall pay Landlord
for the cost thereof as Additional Rent hereunder. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to impose an obligation on Landlord to see that
Tenant properly disposes of Hazardous Material Waste stored or
generated on the Leased Premises. Landlord's approval of a firm or
individual selected by Tenant to remove such Hazardous Material shall
not be deemed to constitute acceptance by Landlord of the adequacy of
the services of such individual or firm nor shall Landlord be
responsible for such individual's or firm's performance of such
services.
(c) ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall protect,
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, their
Affiliates and their respective members, shareholders or other equity
owners, directors, management committee, or similar persons, trustees,
officers and employees, and any of their respective successors or
assigns (hereafter the "Landlord Indemnitees" and when referred to
singly, a "Landlord Indemnitee") for, from and against any and all
debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or
notices, costs, fines, penalties or expenses (including without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or
asserted against any Landlord Indemnitee resulting from, either
directly or indirectly, the presence in the Environment of the Leased
Premises or any properties surrounding the Leased Premises of any
Hazardous Materials arising during the Term, except to the extent that
the same arises by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord or any Landlord Indemnitee. Tenant's duty herein includes,
but is not limited to, indemnification for costs associated with
personal injury or property damage claims as a result of the presence
of Hazardous Materials in, upon or under the soil or ground water of
the Leased Premises in violation of any Environmental Law.
Upon demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
any cost, expense, loss or damage (including without limitation,
attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by Landlord in asserting any right
under this Section 4.03(c), including, without limitation, any right of
indemnity under this Section 4.03(c) or otherwise arising from a
failure of Tenant to strictly observe and perform the foregoing
requirements.

survive for a period of six (6) years from the date of expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease.
(e) LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. In addition to the rights heretofore
reserved by Landlord, at Landlord's option Landlord shall have the
right to restrain by injunction any violation or attempted violation by
the Tenant, or its assignees, or agents, of any of the restrictions or
covenants or agreements as to the use or occupation or the Leased
Premises as herein provided.

SECTION 5.01. BUILDING SERVICES.
(a) HVAC. Landlord shall furnish central heating and air
conditioning ("HVAC") in season on business days during hours
designated by Landlord (the "Regular Building Hours") and at
temperatures and in amounts as are considered by Landlord, in
Landlord's sole discretion, to be Building Standard or in compliance
with governmental regulations. Any request for HVAC service at times
other than the Regular Building Hours may be furnished, at Landlord's
election, upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours' advance notice
from Tenant who shall bear the entire cost thereof at the rate
established by Landlord. In its sole discretion, Landlord may provide
additional services not enumerated herein. Failure by Landlord to any
extent to provide HVAC services or any other services not enumerated,
or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord liable in any
respect of damages to either person or property, be construed as an
eviction of Tenant, work an abatement of Rents or relieve Tenant from
fulfilling any covenant in this Lease. If any of the equipment or
machinery useful or necessary for provision of utility services or HVAC
services, and for which Landlord is responsible, breaks down, or for
any reason ceases to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable
diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim
for rebate of Rents or for damages on account of any interruption in
service occasioned thereby. Landlord reserves the right from time to
time to make changes in the utilities and services provided by Landlord
to the Building. If Tenant requires any non-Building Standard HVAC
services, such as specialty air conditioning systems for special
equipment requiring special cooling or heating, Tenant shall be
responsible, subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, for the
entire cost of installation, maintenance, repair and operation of such
non-Building Standard service.
(b) JANITORIAL SERVICE. Landlord shall furnish Building
Standard janitorial services to the Leased Premises and public areas of
the Building five (5) times per week, excluding holidays. Landlord
shall not provide maid service to kitchens or storage areas included in
the Leased Premises. Tenant shall procure and pay the entire cost of
any non-Building Standard janitorial or maid services even though such
services may be provided in lieu of the Building services described
herein.
(c) ELEVATORS AND SERVICE AREAS. Landlord shall provide
passenger and freight elevator service for use in common with other
tenants for access to and from the Leased Premises. From time to time,
for any reason and without prior Notice to Tenant, Landlord permanently
or temporarily may limit the number of elevators available to Tenant or
designate a specific elevator for use by Tenant and Tenant's invitees.
The freight elevator, if any, shall be available only during the hours
specified by Landlord.
(d) WATER. Landlord shall furnish water to drinking fountains
and lavatories.
(e) SECURITY. Landlord shall have the right to provide a
uniformed security guard or guards to patrol the Complex and to
maintain and control access to and from the

Building and the Leased Premises. Landlord may install an access card
security system and may install, implement and maintain such other
security measures, procedures and systems from time to time as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall deem necessary or advisable.
Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant or any other
person for losses to Tenant's property or for personal injury caused
by criminal acts or entry by unauthorized persons into the Leased
Premises or the Building, including, without limitation, personal
property, equipment, money or jewelry lost or stolen from the Leased
Premises or the Common Tenant Shared Areas, regardless of whether such
loss occurs when those areas are locked against entry or not. At its
expense, and with the prior written approval of Landlord, which
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, Tenant may install, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, such additional safety and security
systems or devices as Landlord shall have approved, provided that such
systems or devices do not interfere with Landlord's rights under this
Lease and provided that Landlord shall not be denied access to the
Leased Property thereby. At all times Tenant shall comply with
Landlord's security regulations for the Complex.
(f) CHARGE FOR SERVICES. All costs of Landlord for providing
the services set forth in this Section shall be subject to the
Additional Rent provisions of Section 3.01(b) and shall be payable as
provided therein.
SECTION 5.02. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
(a) LANDLORD REPAIR OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to build or
rebuild any improvement on the Leased Premises, or to make any
repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations, or renewals of any
nature or description to the Leased Premises, whether ordinary or
extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen,
or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to
maintain the Leased Premises in any way during the Term hereof.
Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as
appropriate, notices of non-responsibility under any mechanic's lien
laws now or hereafter existing. Landlord shall maintain the exterior

sewage lines, and electrical conduits and lines), shall maintain the
Common Tenant Shared Areas (including making all repairs and
replacements to the sidewalks, curbs and parking areas of the

inconvenience and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor to
any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason of any repairs,
alterations or additions made by Landlord hereunder. All requests
for repairs or maintenance that are the responsibility of Landlord
pursuant to any provision hereof must be made in writing to Landlord
at the address given in Section 18.08.
(b) TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense, during the Term hereof, shall maintain the Leased Premises and
make repairs thereto and replacements thereof so that the Leased
Premises shall be in as good repair and operating
<PAGE>
condition as when delivered by Landlord to Tenant on the Commencement
Date, whether said repairs or replacements be usual or unusual,
foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, structural and
non-structural (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a
result of Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the
Leased Premises or Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion
thereof), and shall: (i) keep and maintain in good order, condition,
replacement and repair the Leased Premises and each and every interior
part thereof; and (ii) keep the alterations and improvements made by
Tenant in good repair, including structural repairs. Tenant shall not
take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which
materially impairs or degrades the value or the usefulness of the
Leased Premises or any part thereof for its Primary Intended Use.
Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.02 shall be limited, in the
event of any Casualty or Condemnation involving the Leased Premises,
as set forth in Articles IX and X. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive
right to prosecute claims against Landlord's predecessors-in-interest
(other than any Affiliates of Landlord), contractors, subcontractors
and suppliers for breach of any representation or warranty or for any
latent defects in the Leased Premises, unless Landlord is already
diligently pursuing such claims.
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, Tenant shall
not be obligated to improve the Leased Premises beyond the condition as
delivered to Tenant by Landlord at the Commencement Date.
(c) COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant further
covenants and agrees that it will comply with all Legal Requirements of
every kind and nature relating to the Leased Premises now or hereafter
in effect, of the federal, state, municipal or other Government
Agencies and Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters having jurisdiction,
whether they be usual or unusual, ordinary or extraordinary, or whether
they or any of them relate to structural changes or requirements of
whatever nature, or to changes or requirements incident to and as a
result of any use and occupation thereof or otherwise, and Tenant will
pay all costs and expenses incidental to such compliance and will
indemnify and save harmless Landlord from all expense and/or damages by
reason of any notices, orders, violations or penalties filed against or
imposed upon the Leased Premises, or against Landlord because of the
failure of Tenant to comply with this covenant.
SECTION 5.03. TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. At its expense, Tenant may
(and, as provided hereinbelow, shall) place on the Leased Premises any items of
Tenant's Personal Property, and, subject to the conditions set forth below,
Tenant may remove and replace the same at any time in the ordinary course of
business. Tenant shall provide and maintain throughout the Term all such
Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate the Leased
Premises in compliance in all material respects with applicable Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise in accordance with
customary practice in the industry for such Primary Intended Use.
SECTION 5.04. SURRENDER.
(a) CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES UPON SURRENDER. Upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and
surrender the Leased Premises
<PAGE>
(and as to any permitted additions to the Leased Premises transfer the
permitted additions by deed or bill of sale) to Landlord in the
condition in which the Leased Premises was on the Commencement Date,
except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as
permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease, ordinary wear
and tear and damage by Casualty or Condemnation excepted. Together
therewith Tenant shall surrender to Landlord any and all records and
documents related to the Leased Premises (but not, subject to Section
5.04(b) hereof, documents primarily related to Tenant's business
operated therein except as provided in Section 5.04(b) herein).
(b) TRANSITION PROCEDURES. Tenant shall cooperate in good
faith to provide access and information to any prospective purchaser or
tenant of the Leased Premises that may acquire the Leased Premises or
lease it upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Upon
any expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord and Tenant
shall cooperate in good faith to effect an orderly transition of the
Leased Premises. Upon any expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, Tenant promptly shall deliver or make available for inspection
and copying to Landlord or Landlord's designee, to the extent that
Landlord has not already received copies thereof, copies of all books
and records (including computer records) for the Leased Premises kept
by (or available to) Tenant.
(c) LANDLORD'S CONSENT. No surrender to Landlord of this
Lease or of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or of any
interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and
accepted in writing by Landlord, and no act or omission by Landlord
or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such a
written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance of
any such surrender.
SECTION 5.05. ALTERATIONS.
(a) TENANT CHANGES. Subject to the limitations set forth
herein, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right at
any time and from time to time during the Term of this Lease to make
changes and alterations to the Leased Premises (individually a "Tenant
Change" and collectively, "Tenant Changes"), subject, however, in all
cases, to the following:
(i) Landlord's prior written consent shall be
required in each instance of any Tenant's Change involving the
structure or exterior of any building (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld; it shall not be unreasonable for
Landlord to withhold such consent if the same shall be in
violation of any Facility Mortgage or if any Facility
Mortgagee shall not give its consent to the same where its
consent is required by the terms of such mortgage).
(ii) In addition to the consent required under
Section 5.05(a)(i) above, any Tenant Change, whether or not
structural or exterior, involving an estimated cost of more
than $50,000.00 shall require the prior written consent of
Landlord and, if applicable, any Facility Mortgagee.
(iii) No Tenant Change shall be undertaken until the
Tenant shall have
<PAGE>
procured and paid for all required permits and authorizations
of all municipal departments and governmental subdivisions
having jurisdiction; and, at Tenant's expense, Landlord shall
join in application for such permits and authorizations
whenever such action is necessary.
(iv) No Tenant Change shall violate any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to the Leased
Premises.
(v) Any Tenant Change involving an estimated cost of
more than $50,000.00 shall be conducted under the supervision
of a licensed architect or engineer selected by Tenant and
shall be made in accordance with detailed plans and
specifications (the "Plans and Specifications") and cost
estimates prepared by such architect or engineer and approved
in writing by the Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees not
to unreasonably withhold.
(vi) Any Tenant Change shall be made promptly and in
good workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable
permits, authorizations, building and zoning laws, and all
laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of all
Government Agencies having jurisdiction and in accordance with
the orders, rules and regulations of the Board of Fire
Insurance Underwriters and any other body hereafter exercising
similar functions having or asserting jurisdiction over the
Leased Premises.
(vii) The cost of any Tenant Change shall be paid in
cash or its equivalent by the Tenant, so that the Leased
Premises shall at all times be free of liens for labor or
materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the
Leased Premises.
(viii) Any such Tenant Change shall immediately be
and become the property of the Landlord.
(ix) Tenant shall carry all necessary worker's
compensation insurance and shall furnish Landlord with
evidence of any and all such coverage.
(x) No Tenant Change shall tie-in or connect the
Leased Premises with any property outside the Leased Premises
without the prior written consent of the Landlord.
(xi) No Tenant Change shall reduce the value of the
Leased Premises or impair the structural integrity of any
building comprising a part of the Leased Premises, it being
understood and agreed that the fair market value of the Leased
Premises including such Tenant Change shall be at least equal
to or greater than the fair market value of the Leased
Premises prior to such Tenant Change.
(b) RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
written approval, make any alteration or change to the Leased Premises
which would decrease the size or decrease the square foot
<PAGE>
floor area of any building comprising a part of the Leased Premises.
(c) COST OF TENANT CHANGES. It is understood and agreed by
and between Landlord and Tenant that the cost of all such Tenant
Changes shall be paid solely by Tenant. Under no circumstances shall
the cost of any such Tenant Change be deducted from the Minimum Rent or
Additional Rent due hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
LIENS
SECTION 6.01. COVENANT AGAINST LIENS. Tenant agrees that it will not
create, permit or suffer the imposition of any Lien on the Leased Premises or
any part thereof or any interest therein other than: (a) Permitted Liens; (b)
liens for Real Estate Taxes not yet due and payable; (c) subleases permitted by
Article XIII; (d) liens for Impositions or for sums arising from the application
of Legal Requirements so long as the same (i) are not yet delinquent, or (ii)
are being contested in accordance with Article VII; (e) liens of mechanics,
laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of
business that are not yet delinquent or are for sums that are being contested in
accordance with Article VII; and (f) any Facility Mortgage or other liens which
are permitted pursuant to the provisions of Article XVII. If, because of any act
or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Tenant, any Lien, at any time shall
be filed against the Leased Premises, or any improvements thereon, or against
Landlord or any interest in the Leased Premises (whether or not such Lien is
valid or enforceable as such), by reason of, or arising out of any labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished or to be furnished to or
for Tenant at the Leased Premises by reason of any construction, alterations, or
repair of all or any part thereof, or for any other reason whatsoever, Tenant
promptly, at its own cost and expense, shall cause same to be canceled and
discharged of record by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice to
Tenant of the filing thereof and Tenant shall defend on behalf of Landlord, but
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any action, suit or proceeding which may be
brought thereon or for the enforcement of such Lien, or in the event Landlord
elects to defend any such action, suit, or proceeding, by counsel or legal
representatives of its own selection, Tenant shall pay all costs thereof,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees. Tenant shall pay and shall
indemnify and save harmless Landlord against and from all costs, damages,
liabilities, suits, penalties, claims and demands, including reasonable counsel
fees resulting therefrom and from any action, suit or proceeding which may be
brought thereon or for the enforcement of such lien, charge, order, judgment or
encumbrance. Tenant further agrees to pay any damages and to discharge any
judgments entered therein and to save Landlord harmless from any claims or
damages resulting therefrom. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing
provisions, Landlord shall have the option of discharging or bonding any such
Lien and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs, expenses and other
sums of money in connection therewith (as Additional Rent) with interest at the
maximum rate allowed by law promptly upon demand. All materialmen, contractors,
artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter contracting
with Tenant for the furnishing of any labor, services, materials, supplies or
equipment with respect to any portion of the Leased Premises, at any time from
the date hereof until the end of the Lease Term, are hereby charged with notice
that they must look exclusively to Tenant, and not to Landlord, to obtain
payment for same.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE VII
PERMITTED CONTESTS
SECTION 7.01. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant shall have the right to
contest the amount or validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance
Requirement, Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim (collectively, "Claims") as to the Leased Premises, by
appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (a) the foregoing shall in no way be construed as
relieving, modifying or extending any obligation of Tenant provided for in this
Lease to pay any Claims as finally determined; (b) such contest, or the
maintenance of any Lien during such contest, shall not cause Landlord or Tenant
to be in default under any Facility Mortgage or other agreement encumbering the
Leased Premises or any interest therein or result in a Lien attaching to the
Leased Premises unless Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter, have such
Lien released of record or deliver to Landlord a bond or other security
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which shall be in form, amount, and issued
by a surety reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against
all costs and liabilities resulting from such Lien and the foreclosure or
attempted foreclosure thereof; (c) no part of the Leased Premises nor any Rent
therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or
loss; and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against
any cost, claim, damage, penalty or reasonable expense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or as a result
thereof. Provided that there is no Default or Event of Default hereunder, Tenant
shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or
interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord and for
which Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (i) to
pay any Claims when finally determined, (ii) to provide reasonable security
therefor, or (iii) to prosecute any such contest diligently and in good faith,
Landlord may, upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice may be oral and
shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the same is
not practicable), pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due
with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand,
as Additional Rent. Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required
legally to prosecute such contest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Landlord shall not
thereby be subjected to any liability or cost therefor (including, without
limitation, for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith).
ARTICLE VIII
INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 8.01. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. At all times during the Term,
Landlord shall insure the Building against all risk of direct physical loss in
an amount and with such deductibles as Landlord considers appropriate; PROVIDED
that such insurance must be in an amount equal to at least the Replacement Cost
of the Building; PROVIDED FURTHER that Landlord shall not be obligated in any
way or manner to insure any of Tenant's Personal Property upon or within the
Leased Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the
Leased Premises or any
<PAGE>
improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, it has
no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by
Landlord, and that such insurance will be for the sole benefit of Landlord, with
no coverage for Tenant for any risk insured against.
SECTION 8.02. TENANT'S GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. At all times
during the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of the
Leased Premises, the Leased Premises shall be insured against the risks and in
the amounts described below. This insurance shall be written by companies
authorized to issue insurance in the State of Colorado. The policies must name
Tenant as the insured and Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee as additional
named insureds and/or as loss payees. Losses shall be payable to Landlord or
Tenant as provided in Article IX of this Lease. Any loss adjustment for
coverages insuring both parties shall require the written consent of Landlord
and Tenant, each acting reasonably and in good faith. The policies on the Leased
Premises (including the Leased Premises and Fixtures owned by Landlord), and on
Tenant's Personal Property, shall, subject to Section 8.02(f), be primary,
non-contributory, satisfy the requirements of any ground lease, mortgage,
security agreement or other financing then affecting the Leased Premises, and at
a minimum shall include:
(a) "All Risk" property insurance, including insurance against
loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, and all
physical loss perils insurance for the full insurable value of Tenant's
Personal Property upon or within the Leased Premises, any fixtures
installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises or
any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises;
(b) loss of rent insurance (on the "Special Form") in the
minimum amount of one (1) year of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
(based on the last twelve (12) months in which the Leased Premises were
operated for their Primary Intended Use) for the benefit of Landlord,
and business interruption insurance on the "Special Form" in the amount
of one (1) year of projected net profit of Tenant from the Leased
Premises (exclusive of collection costs and any operating expenses that
are considered by the applicable insurance company to be non-continuing
as a result of any Casualty), for the benefit of Tenant;
(c) comprehensive general liability insurance, including
bodily injury and property damage (including broad form contractual
liability, fire legal liability and completed operations coverage)
having policy limits as to claims with respect to the Leased Premises
of at least ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per occurrence, TWO
MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) aggregate per location; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that such limits shall be modified to conform to any required
underlying statutory coverage, and umbrella coverage shall be provided
having limits of TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000) per occurrence
and in the aggregate, and attaching in excess of policy limits as to
general liability, where applicable, and employer's liability coverage,
covering each of the following: bodily injury, death, or property
damage liability per occurrence, personal injury, general aggregate,
products and completed operations, and "all risk legal liability"
(including liquor law or "dram shop" liability, if liquor or alcoholic
beverages are served
<PAGE>
on the Leased Premises) with respect to Landlord and Tenant;
(d) insurance coverage for claims by employees of Tenant for
wrongful termination, discrimination or sexual harassment;
(e) worker's compensation insurance coverage for all persons
employed by Tenant directly, as borrowed employees, or as statutory
employees, with statutory limits and otherwise with limits of and
provisions in accordance with Legal Requirements, and employer's
liability insurance having a limit of $500,000; and
(f) such additional insurance and endorsements (and/or
increased amounts of insurance hereinabove required) as may be
reasonably required, from time to time, by Landlord, any Facility
Mortgagee or any rating agency, or any existing or future ground
lessor.
SECTION 8.03. RESPONSIBILITY FOR TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant shall
obtain or cause to be obtained the insurance and pay the premiums for the
coverages described in Section 8.02. Tenant also shall be responsible for any
and all deductibles and self-insured retentions in connection with such
coverages.
SECTION 8.04. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant agree that
(insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without
invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from
responsible insurance companies doing business in Colorado) with respect to any
loss covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant,
respectively, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases
the other of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they
further agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of
subrogation against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may
result therefrom.
SECTION 8.05. SATISFACTORY FORMS All insurance policies and
endorsements required of Tenant pursuant to this Article VIII shall be fully
paid for, nonassessable and, except for umbrella coverage, shall contain such
provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and amounts and issued by
insurance carriers authorized to do business in Colorado, having a general
policy holder's rating of "A/VI" in Best's latest rating guide (or such other
higher rating or such other customarily used rating agency as may be required by
any Facility Mortgagee), and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord. Without
limiting the foregoing, such policies shall include only deductibles reasonably
approved by Landlord. Tenant shall deliver policies or certificates thereof to
Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee prior to their effective date (and, with
respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
existing policy), and, in the event Tenant shall fail to effect such insurance
as herein required, to pay the premiums therefor or to deliver such policies or
certificates to Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee at the times required,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, after ten (10) days'
written notice to Tenant, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums
therefor, which amounts shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent. All such
policies shall provide Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee thirty (30) days'
prior written notice of any material modification, expiration or cancellation of
such policy.
<PAGE>
SECTION 8.06. BLANKET POLICY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article VIII, Tenant's obligations to maintain the insurance
herein required may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy
or policies of insurance, provided that, except as otherwise approved by
Landlord in writing, (a) the coverage thereby afforded will not be reduced or
diminished from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Lease, and (b) the requirements of this Article VIII are
otherwise satisfied.
SECTION 8.07. GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD BY TENANT.
(a) NON-LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable
to Tenant or any of its employees, guests, licensees or invitees, and
Tenant, for itself, its employees, guests, licensees or invitees,
hereby waives all claims against Landlord, for any loss, injury or
damage to any person or property in or about the Leased Premises on any
space adjacent to or adjoining the Leased Premises, or any part thereof
by and from any cause whatsoever, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the following: (a) those caused by snow,
ice or water leakage of any character from the roof, walls, pipes,
basement or other portion of the Leased Premises; (b) those caused by
steam, gas, fire, oil, electricity or any cause whatsoever in, on or

4.03(c) (Environmental Indemnification), 5.01(b) (Legal Requirement
Compliance), 6.01 (Liens) and 7.01 (Permitted Contest), Tenant shall
protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and each Landlord
Indemnitee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), to the
maximum extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding the existence of
any insurance provided for herein, but subject to Section 8.04 hereof,
and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnitee by reason of:
(i) any breach, violation or non-performance by
Tenant or any Person claiming under Tenant or the agents,
employees, patients, guests, invitees or licensees of Tenant
or of any such person of any term, obligation or promise under
this Lease or any law, ordinance or governmental requirement
of any kind arising prior to and during the Term;
(ii) the use or occupancy or manner of use or
occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant or any Person
claiming under Tenant, or their respective agents;
(iii) any activity, work or thing done, permitted or
suffered by Tenant or any Person claiming under Tenant, or

respective agents, with respect to the Leased Premises;
(v) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant

agents prior to and during the Term, including any such
negligence or willful misconduct giving rise to any employee
claims by employees of Tenant or such Persons for wrongful
termination, discrimination or sexual harassment;
(vi) any accident, injury to or death of persons or
loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased

limitation, any claims under liquor liability, "dram shop" or
similar laws;
(vii) any litigation, proceeding (other than
Condemnation proceedings) or claim by Government Agencies or
other third parties to which Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnitee is made a party or participant or which is
otherwise asserted against Landlord or any Landlord
Indemnitee, relating to the Leased Premises or Tenant's
Personal Property, the business conducted in or on the Leased
Premises, or any use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance, or repair thereof, the occurrence giving rise to
which litigation, proceeding or claim occurs prior to and
during the Term;
(viii) any Impositions, Real Estate Taxes, Utility
Charges, Insurance Requirements and other Additional Rent that

and during the Term.
Tenant shall pay all amounts payable under this Section 8.07 within
seven (7) Business Days after demand therefor and, if not timely paid, such
amounts shall bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of
determination to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest,
resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted
against Landlord and/or any Landlord Indemnitee or may compromise or otherwise
dispose of the same, with Landlord's and/or Landlord Indemnitee's prior written
consent. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 8.07 are in addition to
the obligations set forth in Sections 4.03(c), 5.01(b), 6.01 and 7.01, and shall
survive for a period of six (6) years from the date of termination or expiration
of this Lease.
SECTION 8.08. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Except as otherwise approved by
Landlord
<PAGE>
in writing, Tenant shall cause any person or company entering upon the Leased

insurance policy meeting the requirements of this Article VIII (as if required

per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Within thirty (30) days after
delivery of Landlord's written request, Tenant shall deliver copies of all

and provisions in accordance with Legal Requirements.
ARTICLE IX
CASUALTY
SECTION 9.01. RECONSTRUCTION IN THE EVENT OF CASUALTY.
(a) LEASED PREMISES RENDERED UNSUITABLE FOR PRIMARY INTENDED
USE. If during the Term, the Leased Premises are totally or partially
destroyed by any loss, damage or destruction to the Leased Premises, or
any portion thereof (a "Casualty") and the Leased Premises are thereby
rendered Unsuitable for their Primary Intended Use for a period of
thirty (30) or more days, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and
insurance proceeds are available for restoration or repair, Landlord
shall give Tenant written Notice of its election of one of the
following options:
(i) This Lease shall terminate as of the date of the
Casualty and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any
further liability hereunder except for any liabilities which
have arisen or occurred prior to such termination, and those
which expressly survive termination of this Lease, and
Landlord shall be entitled to retain all Casualty insurance
proceeds (except for any amount thereof paid with respect to
Tenant's Personal Property); or
(ii) Landlord promptly shall restore the Leased
Premises, utilizing the insurance proceeds, and this Lease
shall not terminate.
For purposes of this Section 9.01(a), the term "Casualty"
shall be deemed to include a final unappealable determination by
applicable federal or Colorado authorities of the revocation or
limitation of any material License, permit, certification, or approval
required for the material lawful operation of the Leased Premises in
accordance with its Primary Intended Use or the loss or limitation of
any material License, permit, certification, or approval under any
other circumstances under which Tenant is required to
<PAGE>
cease its operation of the Leased Premises in accordance with their
Primary Intended Use at the time of such loss or limitation, which
revocation, limitation or loss is not caused by actions of Tenant, its
agents, employees, patients, guests, invitees and/or licensees, or
which is not beyond the reasonable control of Tenant.
(b) LEASED PREMISES NOT RENDERED UNSUITABLE FOR PRIMARY
INTENDED USE. If during the Term, the Leased Premises are partially
destroyed by a Casualty, but the Leased Premises are not thereby
rendered Unsuitable for Primary Intended Use for a period of thirty
(30) or more days, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall
proceed, to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by
Landlord after the exercise by any Facility Mortgagee of an option (if
any) to apply proceeds against Landlord's debt to such Facility
Mortgagee, with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building
or other improvements to substantially the same condition in which they
existed prior to the Casualty.
SECTION 9.02. TENANT'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. All insurance proceeds
payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property
shall be paid to Tenant.
SECTION 9.03. ABATEMENT OF RENT. Any damage or destruction due to
Casualty notwithstanding, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article IX) and Tenant's
obligation to pay Rents required by this Lease shall remain unabated by any
Casualty which: (a) is caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its
agents, employees, patients, guests, invitees or licensees; (b) does not result
in a reduction of Gross Revenues; or (c) does not result in the payment of loss
of rent insurance proceeds to Landlord pursuant to Section 8.02(b) above. If the
Leased Premises are to be rebuilt or repaired and are rendered Unsuitable for
Primary Intended Use in whole or in part following a Casualty (excluding those
described in the preceding sentence), the Minimum Rent payable under this Lease
during the period for which the Leased Premises are Unsuitable for Primary
Intended Use shall be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the Minimum
Rent that would otherwise be payable but for this provision by the ratio that
the Rentable Area of the portion of the Leased Premises not rendered Unsuitable
for Primary Intended Use bears to the total rental Area of the Leased Premises
prior to the Casualty. Landlord's obligation to rebuild or restore shall be
limited to restoring the Leased Premises to substantially the condition in which
the same existed prior to the Casualty, exclusive of improvements which Tenant
may construct on the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE X
CONDEMNATION
SECTION 10.01. TOTAL CONDEMNATION, ETC. If either (a) the whole of the
Leased Premises shall be taken by Condemnation or (b) a Condemnation of less
than the whole of the Leased Premises renders the Leased Premises Unsuitable for
Primary Intended Use, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall give
Tenant Notice that the Leased Premises will be Unsuitable for Primary Intended
Use and this Lease shall terminate as of the day of the Condemnation and neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further liability hereunder except for any
liabilities which have arisen or occurred prior to such termination, and those
which
<PAGE>
expressly survive termination of this Lease, and Tenant and Landlord shall seek
the Award for their respective interests in the Leased Premises as provided in
Section 10.04.
SECTION 10.02. PARTIAL CONDEMNATION. In the event of a Condemnation
of less than the whole of the Leased Premises such that the Leased Premises
is still suitable for its Primary Intended Use, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, to the extent that the Award is sufficient therefor, Landlord shall
proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the untaken portion of the
Leased Premises so that the Leased Premises shall constitute a complete
architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as
may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased Premises existing
immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal
Requirements. Landlord may, at its option, condition its restoration on the
absence of any continuing Event of Default and the approval by all Government
Agencies and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required. Landlord's
obligation under this Section 10.02 to restore the Leased Premises shall be
subject to (i) the collection of the Award by Landlord and (ii) the
satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Facility Mortgage, and the
release of such Award by any Facility Mortgagee. If Landlord has not received
the Award, or the Award is insufficient to restore the untaken portion of the
Leased Premises as provided above, then Landlord, in its sole discretion,
shall have the right to terminate this Lease and neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall have any further liability hereunder, except for any liabilities which
have arisen or occurred prior to such termination and those which expressly
survive termination of this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain
the entire Award; provided that Tenant shall be permitted to seek a separate
award for the value of Tenant's Personal Property that was taken in such
Condemnation.
SECTION 10.03. ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of a partial
Condemnation as described in Section 10.02 which does not result in a
termination of this Lease by Landlord, the Minimum Rent payable under this
Lease as of the day of the Condemnation shall be reduced to an amount
determined by multiplying the Minimum Rent that would otherwise be payable
but for this provision by the ratio that the Rentable Area of the portion of
the Leased Premises not taken by Condemnation bears to the total rental Area
of the Leased Premises prior to the Condemnation.
SECTION 10.04. ALLOCATION OF AWARD. The total Award shall be solely
the property of and payable to Landlord; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any portion
of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased
Premises (valued without regard to any right of termination in Landlord that
otherwise exists under this Article X), loss of business during the remainder
of the Term (determined without regard to any provision for termination that
might otherwise arise under this Article X), the taking of Tenant's Personal
Property or Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole
property of and payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section
10.02). Subject to the rights of any Facility Mortgagee under any Facility
Mortgage, in any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each
seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE XI
TENANT DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
SECTION 11.01. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
(a) Tenant fails (i) to make any payment of the Minimum Rent
payable hereunder when due, or (ii) subject to the right to contest
same pursuant to Article VII hereof, to make any required payments of
Additional Rent within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Notice
thereof from Landlord.
(b) Tenant fails to maintain the insurance coverages that it
is required to maintain under Article VIII.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant
defaults in the due observance or performance of any of the terms,
covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed by
it (other than as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above), and, in
either case, such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
if such default is curable but such cure cannot be accomplished with
due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant
commences to cure such default within thirty (30) days after Notice
thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such
default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended
to such period of time (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in
the aggregate, subject to Unavoidable Delay) as may be necessary to
cure such default.
(d) A default or breach of any other agreements between
Tenant and/or its Affiliates on the one hand, and Landlord and/or
its Affiliates on the other hand, and there is no cure of the same
within the applicable grace or cure period.
(e) Tenant generally is not paying its debts as they become
due, or Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(f) Any petition is filed by or against Tenant under the
federal bankruptcy laws, or any other proceeding is instituted by or
against Tenant seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or
seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry
of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for Tenant or for any substantial
part of the property of Tenant, and, in the case of any involuntary
petition filed or proceeding instituted against Tenant only, such
proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after institution
thereof, or Tenant takes any action to authorize or effect any of the
actions set forth above in this paragraph.
(g) Tenant causes or institutes any proceeding for its
dissolution or termination.
(h) Tenant ceases operation of the Center in the Leased
Premises for its Primary Intended Use for a period in excess of thirty
(30) consecutive days, except as a
<PAGE>
result of a Casualty, other Emergency Situations, the matters set
forth in Section 18.15, or partial or complete Condemnation of the
Leased Premises or of the immediate surroundings so as to prohibit
reasonable access by customers of the Center, and does not commence
operation of the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after receipt of
Notice thereof from Landlord. [WANT?]
(i) The estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased
Premises or any part thereof is levied upon or attached in any
proceeding and the same is not vacated or discharged within the
later of (i) sixty (60) days after commencement thereof, unless the
amount in dispute is less than $10,000.00, in which case Tenant
shall give Notice to Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend
in any suitable way, and (ii) thirty (30) days after receipt by
Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant shall be
contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with
Article VII).
(j) If any representation or warranty of Tenant set forth
herein is false in any material respect, or if Tenant renders any false
statement or account.
In any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, may terminate this Lease by giving Notice thereof to Tenant,
and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this Lease
shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall cease.
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, Landlord shall have, and may
exercise in its sole and absolute discretion, all, or none of the, rights and
remedies available at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's
breach of this Lease.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in
addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased
Premises and take possession thereof, and either (i) retain any and all of
Tenant's Personal Property on the Leased Premises, without liability for
trespass or conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to Notice or hearing
prior to such taking of possession by Landlord) or (ii) sell the same at
public or private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and
place of any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns
may purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Personal Property. Unless
otherwise provided by law and without intending to exclude any other manner
of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice
shall be met if such Notice is given at least ten (10) Business Days before
the date of sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less all expenses
incurred in connection with the taking of possession, holding and selling of
such property (including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall belong to
Landlord. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by
law, and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
upon demand. [NEED TO EXCLUDE THE SIMULATOR?]
SECTION 11.02. REMEDIES. None of (a) the termination of this Lease
pursuant to Section 11.01, (b) the repossession of the Leased Premises, (c)
the failure of Landlord to re-let the Leased Premises, or (d) the re-letting
of the Leased Premises, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations
hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or
re-letting. In the event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay
to Landlord all Rents due and payable with respect to the Leased Premises
through and including the date of such termination. Thereafter, Tenant, until
the earlier of what would have been the end of the Term of
<PAGE>
this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Leased
Premises or any portion thereof shall have been re-let, shall be liable to
Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the Rent and
other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the Term
had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any
re-letting or other operation by or on behalf of Landlord of the Leased
Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such re-letting,
including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions,
legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of employees,
alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such re-letting. Landlord
may bring action(s) or proceeding(s) for the recovery of any deficits
remaining unpaid, without being obliged to await the end of the Lease Term
for a final determination of Tenant's account, and the commencement or
maintenance of any one or more actions shall not bar Landlord from bringing
other or subsequent actions for further accruals of Minimum Rent, Additional
Rent or other charges or moneys due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease
pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Tenant shall pay such current
damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent would have
been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been so terminated.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and
dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (a) re-let
the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of
Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option,
be equal to, less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to
the extent that Landlord considers advisable and necessary to re-let the
same, and (b) make such reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in
the Leased Premises or any portion thereof as Landlord, in its sole and
absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of
re-letting the Leased Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs
and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from
liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any
way whatsoever for any failure to re-let all or any portion of the Leased
Premises, or, in the event that the Leased Premises is re-let, for failure to
collect the rent under such re-letting; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Landlord
covenants and agrees in the event of any termination of this Lease as a
result of an Event of Default, to use commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate its damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present
or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in
the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, by reason
of the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
hereunder.
Under any of the circumstances heretofore mentioned in which Landlord
shall have the right to hold Tenant liable under this Lease for the payment of
any of the Rents, or any balance then remaining, Landlord shall have the
election in lieu of holding Tenant so liable, forthwith to recover against
Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate
sum which, at the time of such termination of this Lease represents the then
present worth discounted at the prime rate of interest in effect as of said date
as said rate is set by Norwest Bank Colorado, N.A., or its successors or
assigns, of the excess, if any, of the aggregate of the Rents payable by Tenant
hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of the Term of the Lease over
the aggregate fair rent value of the Leased Premises for the balance of such
Term. Nothing herein contained, however, shall limit or prejudice the right of
Landlord, in any bankruptcy of insolvency
<PAGE>
proceedings, to prove for, and obtain as, liquidated damages by reason of
such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or
rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in
which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater,
equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above. Tenant
agrees to pay, in addition to the Rents and other sums agreed to be paid
hereunder, such additional sums as the court may adjudge reasonable as
attorneys' fees in any successful suit or action instituted by Landlord to
enforce the provisions of this Lease or the collections of the Rents or other
sums due Landlord hereunder.
No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the cancellation
or termination hereof in any manner as herein provided, or in any manner
provided by law, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, or affect any
notice theretofore given to Tenant or operate as a waiver of the right of
Landlord to recover possession of the Leased Premises by proper suit, action,
proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that after service of Notice to
cancel or terminate as herein provided, after the commencement of any suit,
action, proceeding or other remedy, or after final order or judgment for
possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord, in any of such instances, may
demand, receive and collect any moneys due, or thereafter falling due,
without in any manner affecting such Notice, suit, action, proceeding, order
or judgment; and any and all such moneys so collected shall be deemed to be
payments on account of Tenant's liability hereunder.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of
the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof, Landlord shall have
the right of injunction to restrain the same and the right to invoke any
remedy allowed by law or in equity.
The enumeration anywhere in this Lease of certain rights and/or
remedies of Landlord shall not be construed to be in exclusion or
substitution of any others conferred under this Lease or applicable law. All
the rights and remedies herein given to the Landlord for the recovery of the
Leased Premises because of the Default by the Tenant in the payment of any
sums which may be payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or upon the
breach of any of the terms hereof, or the right to re-enter and take
possession of the Leased Premises upon the happening of any of the Defaults
or breaches of any of the said covenants, or the right to maintain any action
for Rents or damages, hereby are reserved and conferred upon the Landlord as
distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether
exercised by the Landlord or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any
of the others, but all rights, remedies and powers provided for in this Lease
may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law in the State of Colorado. All
provisions of this Lease are and are intended to be subject to all applicable
mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling in the State of Colorado
and may be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this
Lease invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the provisions of
applicable law. Any provision of this Lease prohibited by law shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Lease.
SECTION 11.03. WAIVERS. LANDLORD AND TENANT WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE,
<PAGE>
THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT AND/OR TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF
THE LEASED PREMISES. TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM
LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT. FURTHERMORE, TENANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES FROM LANDLORD AND/OR LANDLORD'S
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR THEIR SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS
WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM
OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY TENANT AGAINST LANDLORD AND/OR LANDLORD'S
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR THEIR SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS
WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR
ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR RELATED HERETO. THE WAIVER BY TENANT OF
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES
AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN.
SECTION 11.04. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any payments received by
Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or
continuance of any Default or Event of Default (and any payment made to
Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of any Default or Event of
Default) shall be applied to Tenant's obligations under this Lease in such
order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the
State of Colorado.
SECTION 11.05. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT. If (a) a
Default shall have occurred and is continuing which in the reasonable
judgment of Landlord requires immediate action on the part of Landlord or (b)
an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord, after
Notice to Tenant (which Notice need not precede such action if Landlord shall
reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or
property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without
waiving or releasing any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated
to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the
account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for
such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor, including the
management of the Leased Premises by Landlord or its designee, and Tenant
hereby irrevocably appoints, in the event of such election by Landlord,
Landlord or its designee as the operator of the Leased Premises and its
attorney-in-fact for such purpose, irrevocably and coupled with an interest,
in the name, place and stead of Tenant. No such entry shall be deemed an
eviction of Tenant. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at
the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date such sums are paid
by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE XII
HOLDING OVER
SECTION 12.01. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by Tenant after the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease (other than with the express
written consent of Landlord) shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance at a
rate equal to (a) three (3) times one-twelfth of the aggregate Minimum Rent
payable with respect to the last year of the Term, (b) all Additional Rent
accruing during the applicable period, and (c) all other sums, if any,
payable by Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Leased Premises during
the applicable period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct
or indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such
holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, to
the extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent,
express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XIII
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT; BANKRUPTCY
SECTION 13.01. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not, without
the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be withheld in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), assign, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest
therein, or any sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting
of concessions, licenses and the like), or all or any part of the Leased
Premises, or suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate created
hereby or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned,
transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in
part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit
the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by anyone other than Tenant, or
permit the Leased Premises to be offered or advertised for assignment, and
any of the foregoing actions shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
If this Lease is assigned or if the Leased Premises or any part
thereof is sublet in contravention of this Lease, Landlord may collect the
rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and
apply the net amount collected to the Rents herein reserved, but no such
collection shall be deemed (a) a waiver of the provisions set forth in the
first paragraph of this Section 13.01, (b) the acceptance by Landlord of such
assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or (c) a
release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants,
agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or
assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the
prohibition set forth in this Section 13.01. No assignment, subletting or
occupancy shall affect any Primary Intended Use. No assignment, subletting or
occupancy shall imply consent to the continued existence of this Lease or any
sublease of the Leased Premises in the event of foreclosure by any Facility
Mortgagee. Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant's interest
under this Lease in contravention of this Article XIII shall be voidable at
Landlord's option.
SECTION 13.02. NO RIGHT OF TENANT TO MORTGAGE ITS LEASEHOLD.
Notwithstanding any
<PAGE>
other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign its
interest in this Lease as collateral for Indebtedness.
SECTION 13.03. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ASSIGN. Landlord shall have the
right to assign or sell its interest in this Lease and in the Leased
Premises. Upon such sale Landlord shall be released from any further
obligations and responsibilities under this Lease, both before and after the
date of said assignment or sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to and to look
solely to such assignee, purchaser or successor in interest of Landlord for
the continued performance of the obligations of Landlord hereunder.
SECTION 13.04. ASSIGNMENT IN CONTEXT OF BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY.
(a) (i) In the event that Tenant shall become a Debtor under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Trustee or Tenant shall elect
to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or
otherwise, such election and assignment may only be made if all of the
terms and conditions of this subsection (i) are satisfied. If such
Trustee shall fail to elect or assume this Lease within sixty (60) days
after the filing of the bankruptcy petition, this Lease shall be deemed
to have been rejected. Landlord shall be thereupon immediately entitled
to possession of the Leased Premises without further obligation to
Tenant or Trustee, and this Lease shall be terminated, but Landlord's
right to be compensated for damages in such liquidation proceeding
shall survive.
No election by the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession to assume
this Lease, whether under Chapters 7 or 11, shall be effective
unless each of the following conditions, which Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge are commercially reasonable in the context
of a bankruptcy case of Tenant, have been satisfied, and
Landlord has so acknowledged in writing, which acknowledgment,
provided each of the following criteria has been met, shall
not be unreasonably withheld:
(A) Landlord has not terminated this Lease
pursuant to the provisions established herein prior
to the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
(B) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession
has cured:
(1) all monetary Defaults under this
Lease; and
(2) all nonmonetary Defaults under
this Lease.
(C) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession
has compensated any pecuniary loss (including any and
all attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
Landlord arising from the Default of Tenant, the
Trustee, or the Debtor-In-Possession as recited in
Landlord's written statement of pecuniary loss sent
to the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession.
(D) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession
has provided Landlord with adequate assurance (as
defined below) of the future performance of each of
Tenant's, Trustee's or Debtor-In-Possession's
<PAGE>
obligations under this Lease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that:
(1) the Trustee or
Debtor-In-Possession also shall deposit
with Landlord, as security, for the
timely payment of rent, an amount equal
to three (3) months' Minimum Rent and
other monetary charges accruing under
this Lease;
(2) if not otherwise required by the
terms of this Lease, the Trustee or
Debtor-In-Possession also shall pay in
advance on the date Minimum Rent is payable,
one-twelfth of Tenant's annual obligations
under this Lease for Impositions, Real
Estate Taxes, Utility Charges, Insurance
Premiums and similar charges; and
(3) the obligations imposed upon the
Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession shall
continue with respect to Tenant or any
assignee of the Lease after the completion
of the bankruptcy case.
(E) For purposes of this subsection (i),
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, in the context
of a bankruptcy case of Tenant, at a minimum,
"adequate assurance" means:
(1) the Trustee or the
Debtor-In-Possession has and will continue
to have sufficient current assets after the
payment of all current obligations and
administrative expenses then due to assure
Landlord that the Trustee or
Debtor-In-Possession will have sufficient
funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease; and
(2) the Bankruptcy Court shall have
entered an order segregating sufficient cash
payable to Landlord to cure the monetary
and/or nonmonetary Defaults under this
Lease.
(ii) If the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession has
assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions herein,
for the purpose of assigning (or electing to assign) Tenant's
interest under this Lease or the estate created thereby, to
any other person, such interest or estate may be so assigned
only if Landlord shall acknowledge in writing that the Trustee
or Debtor-in-Possession has satisfied the conditions in
Sections 13.04(a)(i)(B), (C) and (D) above and that the
intended assignee has provided "adequate assurance of future
performance" as defined in this subsection (ii) of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed
by Tenant.
For purposes of this subsection (ii), Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that, in the context of a bankruptcy case
of Tenant, at a minimum "adequate assurance of future
performance" means that each of the following conditions has
been satisfied, and Landlord has so acknowledged in writing:
<PAGE>
(A) the assignee has submitted a current
financial statement audited by a certified public
accountant which shows a net worth and working
capital in amounts determined to be sufficient by
Landlord to assure the future performance by such
assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
(B) the assignee, if requested by Landlord,
shall have obtained guarantees in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord from one or more persons who
satisfy Landlord's standards of credit worthiness;
(C) the assignee has submitted in writing
evidence, satisfactory to Landlord, of substantial
experience in the operation of the business permitted
under this Lease; and
(D) Landlord has obtained all consents or
waivers from any third party required under any
lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other
agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit
Landlord to consent to such assignment.
(iii) Neither Tenant's interest in the Lease, nor any
lesser interest of Tenant herein, nor any estate of Tenant
hereby created, shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee
for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity,
or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state
having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant
(hereinafter referred to as the "state law") unless Landlord
shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by
Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such trustee,
receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed, to
have waived, nor, shall it waive the need to obtain Landlord's
consent for, Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any
transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such
consent.
(iv) In the event that the estate of Tenant created
hereby shall be taken in execution or by other process of law,
or if Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations
hereunder shall be adjudicated insolvent pursuant to the
provisions of any present or future insolvency law under state
law, or if any proceedings are filed by or against any
guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provisions
of any future federal bankruptcy law, or if a Receiver or
Trustee of the property of Tenant or any guarantor shall be
appointed under state law by reason of Tenant's or any
guarantor's insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they
become due or otherwise, or if any assignment shall be made of
Tenant's or any guarantor's property for the benefit of
creditors under state law, then and in such event Landlord
may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of
Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant written notice of the
election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the
occurrence of such event.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein,
neither Tenant nor the Trustee shall have the right to assign
this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises
<PAGE>
or any portion thereof to an assignee or sublessee that (A)
is a competitor of Landlord or (B) is not a capable,
reliable, qualified Person of good reputation and character
with the financial capacity to satisfy Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. THE TRUSTEE SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO
ASSIGN THIS LEASE OR SUBLET THE LEASED PREMISES TO A REAL
ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST THAT IS, OR INTENDS TO BE, PUBLICLY
TRADED. [?]
SECTION 13.05. Other Bankruptcy Issues.
(a) As a material inducement to Landlord executing this
Lease, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is relying upon:
(i) the financial condition and specific operating experience of
Tenant; (ii) Tenant's timely performance of all of its obligations
under this Lease notwithstanding the entry of an order for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code for Tenant; and (iii) all defaults under
the Lease being cured promptly and the Lease being assumed within
sixty (60) days of any order for relief entered under the Bankruptcy
Code for Tenant, or the Lease being rejected within such sixty (60)
day period and the Leased Premises surrendered to Landlord.
Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained in this Lease and for other good and
valuable consideration, Tenant hereby agrees that:
all obligations that accrue under this Lease
(including the obligation to pay Rent), from and after the
date that a bankruptcy case is commenced shall be timely
performed exactly as provided in this Lease and any failure
to so perform shall be harmful and prejudicial to Landlord;
any and all Rents that accrue from and after the
date that a bankruptcy case is commenced and that are not
paid as required by this Lease shall, in the amount of such
Rents, constitute administrative expense claims allowable
under the Bankruptcy Code with priority of payment at least
equal to that of any other actual and necessary expenses
incurred after the commencement of such proceeding;
any extension of the time period within which the
Tenant may assume or reject the Lease without an obligation
to cause all obligations under the Lease to be performed as
and when required under the Lease shall be harmful and
prejudicial to Landlord;
any time period designated as the period within
which the Tenant must cure all defaults and compensate
Landlord for all pecuniary losses which extends beyond the
date of assumption of the Lease shall be harmful and
prejudicial to Landlord;
any assignment of the Lease must result in all terms
and conditions of the Lease being assumed by the assignee
without alteration or amendment, and any assignment which
results in an amendment or alteration of the terms and
conditions of the Lease without the express written consent
of Landlord shall be
<PAGE>
harmful and prejudicial to Landlord;
any proposed assignment of the Lease to an assignee
that does not possess the financial condition, operating
performance and experience characteristics equal to or better
than the financial condition, operating performance and
experience of Tenant as of the Commencement Date, shall be
harmful and prejudicial to Landlord; and
the rejection (or deemed rejection) of the Lease for
any reason whatsoever shall constitute cause for immediate
relief from the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, and Tenant stipulates that such automatic stay shall be
lifted immediately and possession of the Leased Premises will
be delivered to Landlord immediately without the necessity of
any further action by Landlord.
(b) No provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of
Landlord's rights or remedies under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable
law to oppose any assumption and/or assignment of this Lease, to
require timely performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or
to regain possession of the Leased Premises as a result of the failure
of Tenant to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease or the
Bankruptcy Code.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary,
all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this
Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as such, shall constitute
"rent" for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code.
(d) For purposes of this Section addressing the rights and
obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event that a bankruptcy
action is commenced, the term "Tenant" shall include Tenant's successor
in bankruptcy, whether a trustee, Tenant as Debtor-in-Possession or
other responsible person.
ARTICLE XIV

SECTION 14.01. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. A party, without charge, at any
time and from time to time hereafter, within five (5) days after written request
of the other party, shall certify by written instrument duly executed and
acknowledged to any person, firm or corporation specified in such request: (a)
as to whether this Lease has been supplemented or amended, and if so, the
substance and manner of such supplement or amendment; (b) as to the validity and
force and effect of this Lease in accordance with its terms as then constituted;
(c) as to the existence of any Default hereunder; (d) as to the existence of any
offsets, counterclaims or defenses hereto; (e) as to the commencement and
expiration dates of the Term of this Lease; and (f) as to any other matters as
reasonably may be so requested. Any such certificate may be relied upon the
party requesting it and any other person, firm or corporation to whom the same
may be exhibited or delivered, and the contents of such certificate shall be
binding on Tenant.
SECTION 14.02. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. On an annual basis, during the
Term of this

and, if available, a current financial statement prepared by a licensed
certified public accountant.
ARTICLE XV
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO INSPECT
SECTION 15.01. RIGHT TO INSPECT. Landlord and its designees shall have
the right to enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable business hours
(and in Emergency Situations at all times): (a) to inspect the same, and/or to
prepare or have prepared on its behalf an inspection report as to the condition
of the Leased Premises; (b) to make repairs, additions or alterations to the
Leased Premises pursuant to the provisions of Article V hereof and/or as may be
required by an inspection report prepared by or on behalf of Landlord; and (c)
for any lawful purpose. If Landlord makes or causes any repairs to be made
pursuant to Article V hereof, Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant or to
any of Tenant's subtenants for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's
and/or any subtenant's stock or business by reason thereof, unless such damage

For a period commencing 90 days prior to the end of the Term, Landlord
may have reasonable access to the Leased Premises for the purpose of showing and
exhibiting the same to prospective purchasers or tenants and Landlord shall have

Leased Premises.
ARTICLE XVI
FACILITY MORTGAGES
SECTION 16.01. LANDLORD MAY GRANT LIENS.
(a) Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16.01, from time to
time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any
Lien upon its interest in the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof
or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of
financing or refinancing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such Lien: (i)
shall not modify the terms of this Lease, except as expressly set forth
in Section 16.02; (ii) shall not contain more restrictive terms and
conditions than those currently contained in any Facility Mortgage;
(iii) shall provide that any insurance proceeds payable with respect to
a Casualty shall be paid directly to Landlord unless Landlord is in
default under the terms of any Facility Mortgage; and (iv) shall
provide that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, neither
Tenant nor any subtenant shall be disturbed in its possession of the
Premises.
(b) Tenant shall, upon the request of Landlord or
any existing, potential or
<PAGE>
future Facility Mortgagee, and to the extent in Tenant's possession,
(i) provide Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee with copies of all
Licenses, permits, occupancy agreements, operating agreements, leases,
contracts, inspection reports, studies, appraisals, assessments,
default or other notices and similar materials reasonably requested in
connection with any existing or proposed financing of the Leased
Premises, and (ii) execute such estoppel certificates and collateral
assignments with respect to the Leased Premises' Licenses and any of
the other aforementioned agreements as any Facility Mortgagee may
reasonably request in connection with any such financing; PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that no such estoppel certificate or collateral assignment
shall, except as expressly set forth in Section 16.02, modify the
terms of this Lease.
SECTION 16.02. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE. Subject to Section 16.01, this
Lease, and any and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and
subordinate to any Facility Mortgage, and all renewals, extensions,
modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to each and every
advance made or hereafter to be made under any such Facility Mortgage. This
section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord or the holder of
any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of
their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such
subordination. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any
amendment to this Lease reasonably required by such lender, provided that such
amendment does not (a) increase Tenant's Rent obligations or other financial
obligations hereunder, or (b) have a material adverse effect upon Tenant's
rights hereunder, or (c) materially increase Tenant's non-economic obligations
hereunder, or (d) decrease Landlord's obligations hereunder. Landlord shall
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to require any future Facility
Mortgagee to provide Tenant with notice and an opportunity to cure landlord
defaults under the Facility Mortgage. Tenant shall have no obligations under any
Facility Mortgage other than those expressly set forth in this Section 16.02.
In the event of a foreclosure of any Facility Mortgage by any Facility
Mortgagee, Landlord and such Facility Mortgagee covenant and agree that they
shall not disturb Tenant's or any subtenants' possession, use and enjoyment of
the Leased Premises during the Term, provided that there is no Default or Event
of Default hereunder. Each Facility Mortgagee shall have an obligation to
provide a non-disturbance agreement to Tenant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
Facility Mortgagee shall have the right (subject to the provisions of the next
paragraph) to terminate this Lease upon the foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or exercise of the power of sale with respect to the Leased
Premises.
In the event that any Facility Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of
any Facility Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease
(any such person, "Successor Landlord"), whether through possession or
foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, such
Successor Landlord shall recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease as herein
provided and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as
Tenant's landlord under this Lease and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver
any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence
such attornment (provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this
Lease), whereupon, this Lease shall continue in full
<PAGE>
force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant
upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease,
except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this
Lease or its nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant
for any act or omission, neglect or default on the party of any prior Landlord
under this Lease, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any
prior Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid or
delivered to the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff
which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by any
modification of this Lease subsequent to such Facility Mortgage, (e) liable to
Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises and the
rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Leased
Premises, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by Landlord
under this Lease to render the Leased Premises ready for occupancy by Tenant
(subject to Landlord's obligations) or with respect to any insurance or
Condemnation proceeds, or (g) required to remove any Person occupying the Leased
Premises or any part thereof, except if such Person claims by, through or under
the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to
execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant's agreement to attorn,
as aforesaid.
SECTION 16.03. NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE. No Default Notice from Tenant to
Landlord as to the Leased Premises shall be effective unless and until a copy of
the same is given to Facility Mortgagee(s) of which Landlord gives notice
thereof to Tenant, which includes the Leased Premises as part of the demised
premises and which complies with Sections 16.01 and 16.02 (which Notice shall
include a copy of the applicable mortgage). No Default Notice from Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is
given to a Facility Mortgagee at the address set forth in such Notice.
SECTION 16.04. ATTORNMENT. Tenant agrees to attorn: (i) to any assignee
of Landlord; (ii) to the holder of any Facility Mortgage to which this Lease is
subordinate; or (iii) to any party acquiring title to the Leased Premises
pursuant to any right or any power contained in any such Facility Mortgage or
bond or other mortgage instrument or as authorized by law. Neither the
provisions for subordination nor attornment set forth in this Article XVI shall
require the execution of any further instrument.

SECTION 18.09. WAIVER. One or more waivers of any covenant or condition

subsequent similar act by Tenant. The receipt of any amounts whether
specifically reserved or payable under any of the covenants herein contained, or
of any portion thereof, after a Default or Event of Default hereunder, whether
or not any such amount becomes due before or after such Default or Event of

<PAGE>
recover possession of the Leased Premises as provided hereunder. The remedies
provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not in any way abridge,
modify or preclude any other rights or remedies to which the Landlord may be
entitled either at law or in equity.
SECTION 18.10. GENDER. Wherever herein the singular number is used, the
same shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neuter genders.
SECTION 18.11. COVENANTS. Each and every term and provision of this
Lease which requires any performance (whether affirmative or negative) by Tenant
shall be deemed to be both a covenant and a condition.
SECTION 18.12. CHOICE OF LAW. The parties agree that this Lease shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado.
SECTION 18.13. COMMENCEMENT. Tenant hereby recognizes and agrees that
this Lease shall have no force or validity until it is duly executed by Tenant
and Landlord.
SECTION 18.14. CONSENT OR APPROVAL. Wherever in this Lease Landlord
agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, or words of like
import, Tenant agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold
such consent or approval: (i) if by granting such consent or approval Landlord
shall be in violation of any Facility Mortgage; or (ii) a Facility Mortgagee
shall not give its consent or approval thereto where its consent or approval is
required by the terms of the any Facility Mortgage.
SECTION 18.15. FORCE MAJEURE. If Landlord or Tenant is in any way
delayed or prevented from performing any obligation, except any monetary
obligation, hereunder due to acts of God, acts of war, civil disturbance, action
of any Government Agency (including the revocation or refusal to grant licenses
or permits, where such revocation or refusal is not due to the fault of the
party whose performance is to be excused for reasons of FORCE MAJEURE), strikes,
fire or other Casualty, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of
either party (as applicable), then the time for performance of such obligation
shall be excused for the period of such delay or prevention and extended for a
period equal to the period of such delay, interruption or prevention; PROVIDED,
however, that lack of funds shall not be deemed a cause beyond the reasonable
control of a party, unless such lack of funds is caused by the breach of the
other party's obligations under this Lease.
SECTION 18.16. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with
respect to the exercise of any rights of, and performance of any obligations by,
Tenant or Landlord under this Lease.
SECTION 18.17. Characterization.
(a) TRUE LEASE. Tenant intends for this Lease to be a "true
lease" and not a financing lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable
mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other
financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this
Lease are those of a true lease. The Lease Term, including any term
extensions provided for in this Lease, is less than the remaining
economic life of the
<PAGE>
Leased Premises. Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the
characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease,
and Tenant stipulates and agrees not to challenge the validity,
enforceability or characterization of the lease of the Leased Premises
as a true lease and further stipulates and agrees that nothing
contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint
venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or
arrangement, security interest or the like. Tenant shall support the
intent of the parties that the lease of the Leased Premises pursuant
to this Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture,
partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or
arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent
that, any challenge occurs.
(b) BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. It is the intent of the parties
hereto that the business relationship created by this Lease and any
related documents is solely that of a short-term commercial lease
between landlord and tenant and has been entered into by both parties
in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein. None
of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be
deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and
Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal
representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, nor to
make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or
losses of Tenant.
(c) INTERPRETATION. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
warrant to each other that each has been represented by independent
counsel and has executed this Lease after being fully advised by said
counsel as to its effect and significance. This Lease shall be
interpreted and construed in a fair and impartial manner without regard
to such factors as the party which prepared the instrument, the
relative bargaining powers of the parties or the domicile of any party.
Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are used, such
words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though
made in the form of a covenant.
SECTION 18.18. PROVISION OF NOTICES AFFECTING LEASED PREMISES. Tenant
agrees to provide Landlord, within two (2) Business Days of Tenant's receipt
thereof, copies of any and all notices received by Tenant that affect or relate
to the Leased Premises in any way whatsoever. Landlord shall give prompt Notice
to Tenant of any matters materially affecting the Leased Premises of which
Landlord receives written notice or actual knowledge.
SECTION 18.19. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If either party shall default in the
performance of any covenants on its part to be performed by virtue of any
provisions of this Lease, the nondefaulting party, immediately, or at any time
thereafter, may perform the same for the account of the defaulting party after
having given the defaulting party notice as called for herein. If a
nondefaulting party at any time is compelled to pay any sum of money, or do any
act which will require the payment of any sum of money by reason of the failure
of the defaulting party hereto to comply with any provisions hereof, or if a
nondefaulting party, is compelled to incur any expense including reasonable
attorneys' fees in investigating, instituting, prosecuting and/or defending any
action or proceeding instituted by reason of any default of such defaulting
party hereunder, the sum or sums so paid by the nondefaulting party with all
interest, costs and damages, shall be
<PAGE>
deemed to be due immediately from the defaulting party to the nondefaulting
party on the first day of the month following the incurring of such respective
expenses and in the event the Tenant is the defaulting party, the sums shall be
considered as Additional Rent.
SECTION 18.20. NO MERGER. Landlord's interest hereunder shall not merge
with its interest as Facility Mortgagee under the Facility Mortgage or its
interest under any other document or agreement between Landlord and Tenant
and/or any Affiliates thereof. Landlord's interest herewith shall not merge with
any interest obtained by Landlord by virtue of its exercise of remedies
hereunder or under the Facility Mortgage, it being the express intent of the
parties hereto (which intent shall be binding on third parties to the same
extent) that Landlord's interest hereunder remain independent of the Facility
Mortgagee's interest in, and right and remedies under, the Facility Mortgage.
SECTION 18.21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
(a) The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this
Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and
their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, their assigns.
(b) The headings or captions of the Sections hereof are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and reference, are not to be
deemed or construed in any way as part of this Lease, nor as
supplemental hereto or amendatory hereof, in no way define, limit or
otherwise describe the scope of this Lease nor the intent of any term
hereof, and shall not affect the construction of this Lease.
(c) If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this
Lease or the application thereof, to any person or circumstance, at any
time or to any extent, shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons
or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant,
conditions and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(d) This writing AND THE TRAINING CENTER AGREEMENT contain the
entire agreement between the parties hereto, and no agent,
representative, salesman, or officer of either Landlord or Tenant
hereto has authority to make or has made any statement, agreement or
representation, either oral or written, in connection herewith,
modifying, adding or changing the terms and conditions set forth herein
and therein. No dealings between the parties or custom shall be
permitted to contradict or modify any of the terms hereof or thereof.
No modification or waiver of this Lease or any of the terms hereof
shall be valid or be binding unless such modification or waive shall be
in writing and signed by duly authorized officers of both of the
parties hereto.
SECTION 18.22. RECORDING OF MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. The parties agree that
a Memorandum of Lease, in substantially the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE
18.22, may be recorded in the real estate records of the County of ______, State
of Colorado by either party

MEMORANDUM OF LEASE
THIS MEMORANDUM OF LEASE (this "Memorandum") is executed effective as
of the ____ day of ________, 1999 (the "Effective Date"), by and between AIMS
CONTINUING EDUCATION AUTHORITY, a Colorado nonprofit corporation ("Landlord"),
whose address is 5401 West 20th Street, Greeley, 80634, and TRAINING DEVICES
INC., a Colorado corporation ("Tenant"), whose address is 7367 South Revere
Parkway, Building 2C, Englewood, Colorado 80112.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement (the
"Lease") dated as of the Effective Date, the terms, provisions and conditions of
which are incorporated herein by this reference to the same extent as if recited
in their entirety herein, whereby Landlord has leased to Tenant, and Tenant has
leased from Landlord, on and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Lease, the real property, together with all buildings, structures, fixtures
and improvements thereon, described more particularly in the legal description
attached hereto as SCHEDULE 1 and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Leased Premises"). Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all defined
terms used in this Memorandum shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to
such terms in the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant hereby make specific reference to
the following terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease:
1. In consideration of the rentals and other sums to be paid
by Tenant and of the other terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant's
part to be kept and performed pursuant to the Lease, Landlord leases to
Tenant, and Tenant takes and leases, the Leased Premises. The term of
the Lease commences as of the Commencement Date and expires on the last
day of the tenth year thereafter (the "Initial Term"), unless extended
as provided below or terminated sooner as provided in the Lease.
2. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms of the
Lease, Tenant still occupies the Leased Premises, and Landlord consents
to the exercise thereof (which consent may be withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion), Tenant, by written notice to Landlord not more
than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of
the Lease, has one (1) option to extend the Initial Term of the Lease
for five (5) additional years, commencing on the first day after the
expiration of the Initial Term.
3. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN
CONSENT OF LANDLORD, TENANT IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE
PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND
UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF THE LEASED PREMISES OR TENANT'S LEASEHOLD
INTEREST THEREIN. ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION WHICH IS NOT APPROVED
BY LANDLORD
<PAGE>
SHALL BE VOID. FURTHERMORE, ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE
DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH LANDLORD'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH TENANT AND LANDLORD'S FEE OWNERSHIP OF THE LEASED

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
DEFINITIONS: As used on page 1, "/X/" means the terms that apply to this loan.
"I", "me" or "my" means each BORROWER who signs this note and each other
person or legal entity (including guarantors, endorsers, and sureties) who
agrees to pay this note (together referred to as "us"). "You" or "your" means
the Lender and its successors and assigns.
APPLICABLE LAW: The law of the state in which you are located will govern
this note. Any term of this note which is contrary to applicable law will not
be effective, unless the law permits you and me to agree to such a variation.
If any provision of this agreement cannot be enforced according to its terms,
this fact will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this
agreement. No modification of this agreement may be made without your express
written consent. Time is of the essence in this agreement.
PAYMENTS: Each payment I make on this note will first reduce the amount I owe
you for charges which are neither interest nor principal. The remainder of
each payment will then reduce accrued unpaid interest, and then unpaid
principal. If you and I agree to a different application of payments, we will
describe our agreement on this note. I may prepay a part of, or the entire
balance of this loan without penalty, unless we specify to the contrary on
this note. Any partial prepayment will not excuse or reduce any later
scheduled payment until this note is paid in full (unless, when I make the
prepayment, you and I agree in writing to the contrary).
INTEREST: Interest accrues on the principal remaining unpaid from time to
time, until paid in full. If I receive the principal in more than one
advance, each advance will start to earn interest only when I receive the
advance. The interest rate in effect on this note at any given time will
apply to the entire principal advanced at that time. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, I do not agree to pay and you do not intend to charge any
rate of interest that is higher than the maximum rate of interest you could
charge under applicable law for the extension of credit that is agreed to
here (either before or after maturity), if any notice of interest accrual is
sent and is in error, we mutually agree to correct it, and if you actually
collect more interest than allowed by law and this agreement, you agree to
refund it to me.
INDEX RATE: The index rate will serve only as a device for setting the rate on
this note. You do not guarantee by selecting this index, or the margin, that
the rate on this note will be the same rate you charge on any other loans or
class of loans to me or other borrowers.
ACCRUAL METHOD: The amount of interest that I will pay on this loan will be
calculated using the interest rate and accrual method stated on page 1 of
this note. For the purpose of interest calculation, the accrual method will
determine the number of days in a "year." If no accrual method is stated,
then you may use any reasonable accrual method for calculating interest.
POST MATURITY RATE: For purposes of deciding when the "Post Maturity Rate"
(shown on page 1) applies, the term "maturity" means the date of the last
scheduled payment indicated on page 1 of this note or the date you accelerate
payment on the note, whichever is earlier.
SINGLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a single advance loan, you and I expect that
you will make only one advance of principal. However, you may add other
amounts to the principal if you make any payments described in the "PAYMENTS
BY LENDER" paragraph below.
MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a multiple advance loan, you and I expect
that you will make more than one advance of principal. If this is closed and
credit repaying a part of the principal will not entitle me to additional
credit.
PAYMENTS BY LENDER: If you are authorized to pay, on my behalf, charges I am
obligated to pay (such as property insurance premiums) than you may treat
those payments made by you as advances and add them to the unpaid principal
under this note, or you may demand immediate payment of the charges.
SET-OFF: I agree that you may set off any amount due and payable under this
note against any right I have to receive money from you.
"Right to receive money from you" means:
(1) any deposit account balance I have with you;
(2) any money owed to me on an item presented to you or in your
possession for collection or exchange; and
(3) any repurchase agreement or other non-deposit obligation.
"Any amount due and payable under this note" means the total amount of
which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of this note at the
time you set off. This total includes any balance the due date for which you
properly accelerate under this note.
If my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has
not agreed to pay this note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest
in the obligation and to any other amounts I could withdraw on my sole request
or endorsement. Your right to set-off does not apply to an account or other
obligation where my rights are only as a representative. It also does not
apply to any individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement
accounts.
You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor
occurs because you set off this debt against any of my accounts. I agree to
hold you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise
of your right of set-off.
REAL ESTATE OR RESIDENCE SECURITY: If this note is accrued by real estate or
a residence that is personal property, the existence of a default and your
remedies for such a default will be determined by applicable law, by the
terms of any separate instrument creating the security interest and, to the
extent not prohibited by law and not contrary to the terms of the separate
security instrument, by the "Default" and "Remedies" paragraphs herein.
DEFAULT: I will be in default if any one or more of the following occur: (1)
I fail to make a payment on time or in the amount due; (2) I fail to keep the
property insured, if required; (3) I fail to pay, or keep any promise, on any
debtor agreement I have with you; (4) any other creditor of mine attempts to
collect any debt I owe him through court proceedings; (5) I die, am declared
incompetent, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become
insolvent (either because my liabilities exceed my assets or I am unable to
pay my debts as they become due; (6) I make any written statement or provide
any financial information that is untrue or inaccurate at the time it was
provided; (7) I do or fail to do something which causes you to believe that
you will have difficulty collecting the amount I owe you; (8) any collateral
securing this note is used in a manner or for a purpose which threatens
confiscation by a legal authority; (9) I change my name or assume an
additional name without first notifying you before making such a change; (10)
I fail to plant, cultivate and harvest crops in due season if I am a producer
of crops; (11) any loan proceeds are used for a purpose that will contribute
to excessive erosion of highly erodible land or to the conversion of wetlands
to produce an agricultural commodity, as further explained in 7 C.F.R. Part
1940. Subpart G, Exhibit M.
REMEDIES: If I am in default on this note you have, but are not limited to,
the following remedies:
(1) You may demand immediate payment of all I owe you under this note
(principal, accrued unpaid interest and other accrued charges).
(2) You may set off this debt against any right I have to the payment of
money from you, subject to the terms of the "Set-Off" paragraph
herein.
(3) You may demand security, additional security, or additional parties
to be obligated to pay this note as a condition for not using any
other remedy.
(4) You may refuse to make advances to me or allow purchases on credit by
me
(5) You may use any remedy you have under state or federal law.
By selecting any one or more of these remedies you do not give up your right
to later use any other remedy. By waiving your right to declare an event to
be a default, you do not waive your right to later consider the event as a
default if it continues or happens again.
COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES: I agree to pay all costs of collection,
replevin or any other similar type of cost if I am in default. In addition,
if you hire an attorney to collect this note, I also agree to pay any fee
you incur with such attorney plus court costs (except where prohibited by
law). To the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I also
agree to pay the reasonable attorney's fees and costs you incur to collect
this debt awarded by any court exercising jurisdiction under the Bankruptcy
Code.
WAIVER: I give up my rights to request you to do certain things. I will not
require you to:
(1) demand payment of amounts due (presentment):
(2) obtain official certification of nonpayment (protest); or
(3) give notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of dishonor)
I waive my defenses I have based on suretyship or impairment of
collateral.
OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT: I understand that I must pay this note even if
someone else has also agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form as
a separate guarantee or endorsement). You may sue me alone, or anyone else
who is obligated on this note, or any number of us together, to collect this
note. You may do so without any notice that it has not been paid (notice of
dishonor). You may without notice release any party to this agreement without
releasing any other party, if you give up any of your rights, with or without
notice, it will not affect my duty to pay this note. Any extension of new
credit to any of us, or renewal of this note by all or less than all of us
will not release me from my duty to pay it. (Of course, you are entitled to
only one payment in full). I agree that you may at your option extend this
note or the debt represented by this note, or any portion of the note or debt,
from time to time without limit or notice and for any term without affecting
my liability for payment of the note. I will not assign my obligation under
this agreement without your prior written approval.
CREDIT INFORMATION: I agree and authorize you to obtain credit information
about me from time to time (for example, by requesting a credit report) and to
report to others your credit experience with me (such as a credit reporting
agency). I agree to provide you, upon request, any financial statement of
information you may deem necessary. I warrant that the financial statements
and information I provide to you are or will be accurate, correct and complete.
NOTICE: Unless otherwise required by law, any notice to me shall be given by
delivering it or by mailing it first class mail addressed to me at my last
known address. My current address is on page 1. I agree to inform you in
writing of any change in my address. I will give any notice to you by
mailing it first class to your address stated on page 1 of this agreement, or
to any other address that you have designated.

SECURITY AGREEMENT FORM 5A 8/5/91 (PAGE 1 OF 2)
<PAGE>
GENERALLY - "You" means the Secured Party identified on page 1 of this
agreement. "I," "me" and "my" means each person who signs this security
agreement as Debtor and who agrees to give the property described in this
agreement as security for the Secured Debts. All terms and duties under this
agreement are joint and individual. No modification of this security
agreement is effective unless made in writing and signed by you and me. This
security agreement remains in effect, even if the note is paid and I owe no
other debt to you until discharged in writing. Time is of the essence in this
agreement.
APPLICABLE LAW - I agree that this security agreement will be governed by
the law of the state in which you are located. If property described in this
agreement is located in another state, this agreement may also, in some
circumstances, be governed by the law of the state in which this property is
located.
To the extent permitted by law, the terms of this agreement may vary
applicable law. If any provision of applicable law may not be varied by
agreement, any provision of this agreement that does not comply with that law
will not be effective. If any provision of this agreement cannot be enforced
according to its terms, this fact will not affect the enforceability of the
remainder of this agreement.
OWNERSHIP AND DUTIES TOWARD PROPERTY - I represent that I own all of the
property, or to the extent this is a purchase money security interest I will
acquire ownership of the property with the proceeds of the loan. I will
defend it against any other claim. YOUR CLAIM TO THE PROPERTY IS AHEAD OF THE
CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER CREDITOR. I agree to do whatever you require to protect
your security interest and to keep your claim in the property ahead of the
claims of other creditors. I will not do anything to harm your position.
I will keep books, records and accounts about the property and my
business in general. I will let you examine these records at any reasonable
time. I will prepare any report or accounting you request, which deals with
the property.
I will keep the property in my possession and will keep it in good
repair and use it only for the purpose(s) described on page 1 of this
agreement. I will not change this specified use without your express written
permission. I represent that I am the original owner of the property and, if
I am not, that I have provided you with a list of prior owners of the
property.
I WILL KEEP THE PROPERTY AT MY ADDRESS LISTED ON PAGE 1 OF THIS
AGREEMENT, UNLESS WE AGREE I MAY KEEP IT AT ANOTHER LOCATION. If the property
is to be used in another state, I will give you a list of those states. I
WILL NOT TRY TO SELL THE PROPERTY UNLESS IT IS INVENTORY OR I RECEIVE YOUR
WRITTEN PERMISSION TO DO SO. IF I SELL THE PROPERTY I WILL HAVE THE PAYMENT
MADE PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF YOU AND ME.
YOU MAY DEMAND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OF THE DEBT(S) IF THE debtor is not a
natural person and without your prior written consent (1) a beneficial
interest in the debtor is sold or transferred or (2) there is a change in
either the identity or number of members of a partnership or (3) THERE IS A
CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN 25 PERCENT OF THE VOTING STOCK OF A
CORPORATION.
I will pay all taxes and charges on the property as they become due. You
have the right of reasonable access in order to inspect the property. I will
immediately inform you of any loss or damage to the property.
LIMITATIONS - This agreement will not secure a debt described in the section
entitled "Secured Debts" on page 1:
1) if you fail to make any disclosure of the existence of this security
interest required by law for such other debt;
2) if this security interest is in my principal dwelling and you fail to
provide (to all persons entitled) any notice of right of rescission
required by law for such other debt;
3) to the extent that this security interest is in household goods and
the other debt to be secured is a "consumer" loan (as those terms are
defined in applicable federal regulations governing unfair and deceptive
credit practices);
4) if this security interest is in margin stock subject to the
requirements of 12 C.F.A. Section 207 or 221 and you do not obtain a
statement of purpose if required under these regulations with respect
to that debt; or
5) if this security interest is unenforceable by law with respect to
that debt.
PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST - For the sole purpose of determining the
extent of a purchase money security interest arising under this security
agreement (a) payments on any non-purchase money loan also secured by this
agreement will not be deemed to apply to the purchase money loan(s) and (b)
payments on the purchase money loan will be deemed to apply first to the
non-purchase money portion of the loan, if any, and then to the purchase
money obligations in the order in which the items of collaterals were
acquired or if acquired at the same time, in the order specified by you. No
security interest will be terminated by application of this formula.
"Purchase money loan" means any loan the proceeds of which, in whole or in
part, are used to acquire any collateral securing the loan and all
extensions, renewals, consolidations and refinancings of such loan.
AUTHORITY OF SECURED PARTY TO MAKE ADVANCES AND PERFORM FOR DEBTOR - I agree
to pay you on demand any sums you advanced on my behalf including, but not
limited to, expenses incurred in collecting, insuring, conserving, or
protecting the property or in any inventories, audits, inspections or other
examinations by you in respect to the property. If I fail to pay such sums,
you may do so for me, adding the amount paid to the other amounts secured by
this agreement. All such sums will be due on demand and will bear interest at
the highest rate provided in any agreement, note or other instrument
evidencing the Secured Debt(s) and permitted by law at the time of the
advance.
If I fail to perform any of my duties under this security agreement, or
any mortgage, deed or trust, lien or other security interest, you may without
notice to me perform the duties or cause them to be performed. I understand
that this authorization includes, but is not limited to, permission to: (1)
prepare, file, and sign my name to any necessary reports or accountings; (2)
notify any account debtor of your interest in this property and tell the
account debtor to make the payments to you or someone else you name, rather
than me; (3) place on any chattel paper a note indicating your interest in
the property; (4) in my name, demand, collect, receive and give a receipt
for, compromise, settle, and handle any suits or other proceedings involving
the collateral; (5) take any action you feel is necessary in order to realize
on the collateral, including performing any part of a contract or endorsing
it in any name, and (6) make an entry on my books and records showing the
existence of the security agreement. Your right to perform for me shall not
create an obligation to perform and your failure to perform will not preclude
you from exercising any of your other rights under the law or this security
agreement.
INSURANCE - I agree to buy insurance on the property against the risks and
for the amounts you require and to furnish you continuing proof of coverage.
I will have the insurance company name you as loss payee on any such policy.
You may require added security if you agree that insurance proceeds may be
used to repair or replace the property. I will buy insurance from a firm
licensed to do business in the state where you are located. The firm will be
reasonably acceptable to you. The insurance will last until the property is
released from this agreement. If I fail to buy or maintain the insurance (or
fail to name you as loss payee) you may purchase it yourself.
WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS - IF THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES ACCOUNTS, I WILL
NOT SETTLE ANY ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN ITS FULL VALUE WITHOUT YOUR WRITTEN
PERMISSION. I will collect all accounts until you tell me otherwise. I will
keep the proceeds from all the accounts and any goods which are returned to
me or which I take back in trust for you. I will not mix them with any other
property of mine. I will deliver them to you at your request. If you ask me
to pay you the full price on any returned items or items retaken by myself, I
will do so.
If this agreement covers inventory, I will not dispose of it except in
my ordinary course of business at the fair market value for the property, or
at a minimum price established between you and me.
If this agreement covers farm products I will provide you, at your
request, a written list of the buyers, commission merchants or selling agents
to or through whom I may sell my farm products. In addition to those parties
named on this written list, I authorize you to notify at your sole discretion
any additional parties regarding your security interest in my farm products.
I remain subject to all applicable penalties for selling my farm products in
violation of my agreement with you and the Food Security Act. In this
paragraph the terms farm products, buyers, commission merchants and selling
agents have the meanings given to them in the Federal Food Security Act of
1985.
DEFAULT - I will be in default if any one or more of the following occur: (1)
I fail to make a payment on time or in the amount due; (2) I fail to keep the
property insured; if required; (3) I fail to pay, or keep any promise, on any
debt or agreement I have with you; (4) any other creditor of mine attempts to
collect any debt I owe him through court proceedings; (5) I die, am declared
incompetent, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become
insolvent (either because my liabilities exceed my assets or I am unable to
pay my debts as they become due); (6) I make any written statement or provide
any financial information that is untrue or inaccurate at the time it was
provided; (7) I do or fail to do something which causes you to believe that
you will have difficulty collecting the amount I owe you; (8) I change my
name or assumed an additional name without first notifying you before making
such a change; (9) failure to plant, cultivate and harvest crops in due
season; (10) if any loan proceeds are used for a purpose that will contribute
to excessive erosion of highly erodible land or to the conversion of wetlands
to produce an agricultural commodity, as further explained in 7 C.F.R. Part
1940, Subpart G, Exhibit M.
REMEDIES - If I am in default on this agreement, you have the following
remedies:
1) You may demand immediate payment of all I owe you under any
obligation secured by this agreement.
2) You may set off any obligation I have to you against any right I have
to the payment of money from you.
3) You may demand more security or new parties obligated to pay any debt
I owe you as a condition of giving up any other remedy.
4) You may make use of any remedy you have under state or federal law.
5) If I default by failing to pay taxes or other charges, you may pay
them (but you are not required to do so). If you do, I will repay to
you the amount you paid plus interest at the highest contract rate.
6) You may require me to gather the property and make it available to
you in a reasonable fashion.
7) You may repossess the property and sell it as provided by
law. You may repossess the property so long as the repossession does
not involve a breach of the peace or an illegal entry onto my
property. You may sell the property as provided by law. You may apply
what you receive from the sale of the property to: your expenses; your
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses (where not prohibited
by law); any debt I owe you. If what you receive from the sale of the
property does not satisfy the debts, you may take me to court to
recover the difference (where permitted by law).
I agree that 10 days written notice sent to my address listed on page 1
by first class mail will be reasonable notice to me under the Uniform
Commercial Code.
If any items, not otherwise subject to this agreement are contained in
the property when you take possession, you may hold these items for
me at my risk and you will not be liable for taking possession of them.
8) In some cases, you may keep the property to satisfy the debt.
You may enter upon and take possession of all or any part of my
property, so long as you do not breach the peace or illegally enter
onto the property, including lands, plants, buildings, machinery, and
equipment as may be necessary to permit you to manufacture, produce,
process, store or sell or complete the manufacture, production,
processing, storing or sale of any of the property and to use and
operate the property for the length of time you feel is necessary to
protect your interest, all without payment or compensation to me.
By choosing any one or more of these remedies, you do not waive your
right to later use any other remedy. You do not waive a default if you choose
not to use any remedy, and, by electing not to use any remedy, you do not
waive your right to later consider the event a default and to immediately use
any remedies if it continues or occurs again.
FILING - A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this security
agreement or the financing statement covering the property described in this
agreement may be used as a financing statement where allowed by law. Where
permitted by law, you may file a financing statement which does not contain
my signature, covering the property secured by this agreement.
CO-MAKERS - If more than one of us has signed this agreement, we are all
obligated equally under the agreement. You may sue any one of us or any of
us together if this agreement is violated. You do not have to tell me if any
term of the agreement has not been carried out. You may release any co-signer
and I will still be obligated under this agreement. You may release any of the
security and I will still be obligated under this agreement. Waiver by you of
any of your rights will not affect my duties under this agreement. Extending
this agreement or new obligations under this agreement will not affect my
duty under the agreement.
