For purposes of verifying such employment, City shall have access to Company's payroll records relating to Company's employment at the Facility. City will, however, respect the right of employees and Company as to confidentiality of personnel records. (d) If Company defaults in its Repayment Obligation, Employment Commitment, and/or Security Agreement, and such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after written notice specifying the default is given by City to Company, then in such event, City may declare the entire balance of Company's Repayment Obligation due and owing together with interest thereon at the rate of ten (10) percent per annum, and for such purpose, the entire balance of Company's Repayment Obligation shall be an amount equal to 359 times $96.30 multiplied by the remaining Quarters of the Repayment Period plus the amount of Company's unpaid Quarterly Payments, if any, but in no event more than the amount of City Funds advanced by City under paragraph 2 hereof and interest as herein provided.

The findings and decision of the City Council shall be final and binding upon Company and City. (b) Prior to instituting any proceedings to enforce Company's Repayment Obligation under paragraph 4, City shall notify Company in writing of its intention to institute such proceedings. If Company desires to seek relief pursuant to paragraph 6(a), Company, within twenty (20) days after receipt of City's notice, shall deliver to City its written request for relief specifying the grounds upon which such relief is sought. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of Company's request, City will schedule a hearing before the City Council and give written notice to Company of the time and place of such hearing.

The land on which such two- building campus is located and all improvements thereon are herein called the "Project ", and that portion of such land on which the Building is situated is herein called the "Building Land ". ACCORDINGLY, Landlord and Tenant agree: 1.0 Premises; Common Areas Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant, and Tenant leases and takes from Landlord, upon and subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, the Premises. The Premises contains Eighty -seven Thousand Three Hundred Ten (87,310) rentable square feet of the Building and is located at #5 William White Blvd., Pueblo, Colorado. For the purposes of pro rata calculations, the Premises comprises 60% ( "Tenant's Building Share ") of the rentable square footage of the Building and 27% ( "Tenant's Project Share ") of the rentable square footage of the Project. Landlord also grants to Tenant, as an appurtenance to the Premises, the nonexclusive right to use, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and in common with Landlord and other tenants of the Building or Project, (i) common areas of the Building and other common areas located on the Building Land, including, without limitation, common lobbies, public corridors, stairways, elevators, rest rooms, entranceways, landscaped areas, sidewalks, driveways, service roads, loading facilities, surface parking lots and all other common areas and facilities located from time to time on the Building Land which Landlord from time to time designates and makes available as common areas to benefit and serve the Building or the Building Land (the "Building Land Common Area "), and (ii) Project driveways necessary to provide access from the Building or the Building Land to or from a public street and other Project common areas reasonably necessary for the full enjoyment of the use of the Premises by Tenant and its invitees and directly benefiting the Premises, other than Building Land Common Areas (the "Project Common Area ").

All terms of this Lease will apply to Tenant's entry of the Premises, except for Sections 4.0 and 5.0 and any other provision of this Lease concerning the payment of Rent (as hereinafter defined); provided, however that from and after the date Tenant begins conducting business in or from any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay its share of operating expenses, as provided in Section 5.0, below, with respect to such portion. 2.3 Rent Commencement Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) will commence on October 1, 1999 (the "Rent Commencement Date ") and will continue throughout the Term of this Lease. 3.0 Option 3.1 Option to Extend Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to extend the initial Lease term ( "Initial Term ") with respect to the Premises for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each such option is hereinafter called an "Option ", and each such additional period is hereinafter called an "Option Term ") upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. An Option shall be exercised, if at all, by Tenant's delivery of written notice of exercise to Landlord not later One Hundred Eighty (180) days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term or the first Option Term, as the case may be.

The Base Rent shall thereafter increase at an annual rate of three percent (3 %) on each anniversary date. 3.2 First Right of Expansion If at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, Landlord receives a bona fide offer for the lease of all or any portion of the Building not then leased by Tenant (the "Expansion Space "), Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease the Expansion Space, and Landlord shall, within five (5) days after receipt of same, give Tenant written notice of such offer. Tenant will then have fifteen (15) days from Tenant's actual receipt of such notice, to accept or reject the Expansion Space. The rent for the Expansion Space will be at the same rate as Tenant is then paying for like type space (e.g., office space, warehouse space). Expansion Space will be leased with 3/1000 parking spaces. If Tenant accepts the Expansion Space, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease to reflect additions to the Premises resulting from the exercise of the right of refusal to lease. Tenant's lease of any Expansion Space pursuant to this right of first refusal will be on all the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease except as to parking, free rent, and pro rata share. 4.0 Base Rent Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant will pay base rent in monthly installments ( "Base Rent ") in advance, on or before the first day of each month, in the following amounts: (i) until the expiration of the thirty-sixth month of the Term, monthly Base Rent shall be Thirty -Six Thousand Four Hundred Eighty -nine and 75/100 Dollars ($36,489.75) (calculated using a monthly rental rate of $0.46 for the approximately 44,982 2 ATLLIB01 781146.6 rentable square feet of office space within the Premises and $0.38 for the approximately 42,328 rentable square feet of warehouse space within the Premises), and (ii) for months thirty-seven (37) to sixty -two (62) of the Term, monthly Base Rent shall be Thirty -eight Thousand Three Hundred Fourteen and 24/100 Dollars ($38,314.24) (calculated using a monthly rental rate of $0.48 for the approximately 44,982 rentable square feet of office space within the Premises and $0.39 for the approximately 42,328 rentable square feet of warehouse space within the Premises). If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of the calendar month, then monthly rent will be appropriately prorated by Landlord based on the actual number of calendar days in such month. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the prorated monthly rent for such month will be paid on or before the first day of the Term. Monthly rent will be paid to Landlord, without written notice or demand, and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord's address, or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. 5.0 Operating Expenses In addition to Base Rent, beginning with the date Tenant begins to conduct business in or from any portion of the Premises, Tenant will pay Tenant's Building Share of the operating expenses for each calendar year or partial calendar year during the Term, which operating expenses shall include the Building's pro rata share (approximately 43 %) of operating expenses billed with respect to the entire Project Common Area. 5.1 Operating Expenses (a) As used in this Lease, the term "operating expenses" means the reasonable costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord during the Lease Term for the maintenance of the Common Areas and Premises, including without limitation real and personal property taxes and assessments; wages, salaries, and compensation of employees to the extent actually performing maintenance of the Common Areas or Premises; consulting, accounting, legal, depreciation on personal property and equipment; janitorial in the common areas, maintenance and security services; management fees and costs, and office rent or rental value of space in the Project used or furnished by Landlord as a management office; power, water, waste disposal, and other utilities; materials and supplies; maintenance and repairs; insurance obtained with respect to the Building and any other costs, charges and expenses that under general acceptable accounting principles would be regarded as a management, maintenance, and operating expense; 100% of the cost of repair to the service road, loading docks, or parking lots or any other areas of the Building or Project that exceed normal wear and tear, due to Tenant's distribution use of the Premises; cost (amortized over the useful life of such improvements, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( "GAAP ")) of any capital improvements that are made to the Common Area or the Premises by Landlord (i) for the purpose of reducing operating expenses, or (ii) after the date of this Lease that are necessary to comply with any applicable requirement of any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Common Area or the Premises as of the date of this Lease to the extent that such improvement is not required as a result of the particular use by, or any improvements constructed by or for, any other tenant or occupant of the Project; and other reasonable costs, charges and expenses that under GAAP would be regarded as operating expenses, as defined herein. 3 ATLLIB01 781146.6 (b) Operating expenses will not include: (1) depreciation on any portion of the Project; (2) costs of alterations of space or other improvements made for tenants of the Project; (3) finders fees and real estate brokers' commissions; (4) ground lease payments, mortgage principal or interest; (5) capital improvements other than as may be expressly included in subparagraph (a), above; (6) costs of replacements of personal property and equipment for which depreciation costs are included as an operating expense; (7) costs of excess additional services provided to any tenant in the Building that are directly billed to such tenants; (8) the cost of repairs due to casualty or condemnation; (9) any cost due to Landlord's breach of the Lease; (10) any income, estate, inheritance, or other transfer tax and any excess profit, franchise, or similar taxes on Landlord's business; (11) all costs, including legal fees, relating to activities for the solicitation and execution of leases of space in the Project; and (12) any legal fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing its rights under other leases for premises in the Project. 5.2 Taxes.

(c) Tenant will pay promptly when due all personal property taxes on Tenant's personal property in the Premises and any other taxes required by law to be paid by Tenant that if not paid would give rise to a lien on the Premises or Tenant's interest in the Premises. 5.3 Utilities. (a) Tenant agrees to pay during the term of this Lease 100% of all charges for such utilities (including without limitation water, electricity, sewage, gas, and any other utility services) used by Tenant in connection with the operation of the Premises. If any such utility services are not 4 ATLLIH01 781146.6 separately metered or billed to Tenant but rather are billed to and paid by Landlord, Tenant will pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice and reasonable evidence thereof from Landlord or on the first day of the following month, the cost of any such utilities submetered to the Premises or a reasonable proportionate share (based on the square footage of the Premises relative to other premises in the Building and the use of the Premises relative to the use of such other premises) of any such utilities provided to the Building and not separately submetered. (b) Pursuant to Section 5.1, above, Tenant agrees to pay during the term of this Lease its pro rated charges for such utilities (including without limitation water, electricity, sewage, gas, and any other utility services) used in the Common Area.

Tenant will pay the appropriate supplier for the telephone service billed directly to Tenant. 5.4 Additional Rent Amounts payable by Tenant according to this Section 5.0 shall be deemed to be, and will be payable as, "Additional Rent ", without deduction or offset (Base Rent, such Additional Rent and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are herein collectively called "Rent "). If Tenant fails to pay any amounts due according to this Section 5.0, Landlord will have all the rights and remedies available to it on account of Tenant's failure to pay Base Rent. Except as otherwise provided herein, Additional Rent shall be paid monthly (according to Landlord's reasonable good faith estimate) with subsequent annual reconciliation, in accordance with the following procedures: (a) At the commencement of the Term and each subsequent anniversary date, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its reasonable estimate of operating expenses and Taxes payable to Landlord by Tenant under Section 5.0 above for the calendar year in which the Term commences and for each subsequent calendar year during the Term, as the case may be. On or before the first day of each month from and after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1 /12 of such estimated Additional Rent, provided that if such notice is not given on the anniversary date, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year's estimate until the month after such notice is given. If at any time or times such Additional Rent for the current calendar year varies from such estimate by more than 5 %, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, reasonably revise its estimate for such year to account for such increase, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. (b) Within 90 days after the close of each calendar year or as soon after such 90 -day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual operating expenses and Taxes for such calendar year. If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall refund such excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of the statement . If on the basis of such statement Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of the statement. 5 ATLLB01 781146.6 6.0 Security Deposit Tenant has deposited Thirty -Six Thousand Six Hundred Forty -two and 34/100 Dollars ($36,642.34) with Landlord as Security Deposit for Tenant's payment of rent and performance of its other obligations under this Lease and any renewals or extensions of this Lease. If Tenant defaults in its payment of rent or performance of its other obligations under this Lease, and such default continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit for the payment of the amount of Rent for which payment is in such default, or for the payment of any other reasonable amount necessary for Landlord to spend by reason of Tenant's default. If Landlord so uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within five (5) days after written demand from Landlord. The Security Deposit will not be a limitation on Landlord's damages or other rights under this Lease, or a payment of liquidated damages, or an advance payment of the Rent. Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any Security Deposit not used by Landlord as aforesaid. Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to a purchaser of the Premises and be discharged from further liability with respect to it, so long as such purchaser assumes Landlord's obligations and duties with respect to the Security Deposit. 7.0 Use. The Premises will be used for business offices, distribution and warehouse and for no other purposes.

Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord, its successors, assigns, subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, employees and Landlord's property manager, if any, pursuant to this Subsection 16.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 17.0 Condemnation 17.1 Total Condemnation If the Building or Building Land is taken under power of eminent domain or conveyed by Landlord under the threat thereof (a "Condemnation "), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of Condemnation. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant promptly after Landlord is made aware of any threatened or pending condemnation proceedings relating to any Building or any portion of the Project. All rent and other obligations shall be paid and performed up to the date of any such Condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. 17.2 Partial Condemnation of the Premises If a portion of the Building or Premises is taken by a Condemnation and such partial taking renders the Premises unsuitable for Tenant's business, as reasonably determined by Tenant and Landlord in their good faith discretion, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of Condemnation with respect to such Premises and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any un- expired term of this Lease. If the partial taking by Condemnation does not render the Premises unsuitable for Tenant's business, Rent shall be equitably reduced based upon the portion of the Premises taken by such Condemnation and Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to a condition comparable to its condition prior to the Condemnation less the portion lost in the Condemnation; provided, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence such restoration until it receives the Condemnation award. If there are not sufficient funds from the Condemnation award, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, to restore the Premises, or if the Premises is not otherwise restored, within 120 days after the date of such Condemnation, to a condition comparable to its condition prior to the Condemnation less the portion lost in the Condemnation, then this Lease shall terminate unless one party elects to contribute the shortfall. 17.3 Condemnation Award In the event of a Condemnation, whether whole or partial, subject to the next sentence, Tenant waives any right to any part of the award, as damages or otherwise, and Landlord shall receive the full amount of such award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Condemnation, including, without limitation, a partial Condemnation, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded to or recoverable by Tenant on account of the loss of Tenant's leasehold estate or improvements, or both, any damage to Tenant's business by reason of the Condemnation and for any cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Tenant's personal property, improvements and equipment. 14 ATLUB01 781146.6 17.4 Date of Condemnation The date of Condemnation shall mean the earlier of the date (i) possession of the Premises is delivered to the condemning authority, or (ii) title to the Premises is vested in the condemnation authority. 18.0 Destruction and Damage If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of the time that Landlord has determined in its reasonable discretion will be needed to repair the damage and the election (if any) that Landlord has made according to this section. The notice will be given before the 30 day (the "notice date ") after the fire or other insured casualty. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other insured casualty to an extent Landlord has determined in its reasonable discretion can be repaired within 120 days after the date of such damage, after the notice date, Landlord will promptly begin to repair the Building and Premises to a condition comparable to its condition prior to the date of such damage and will use reasonable diligence to pursue the completion of such repair. In that event this Lease will continue in full force and effect, except that Rent will be abated on a pro rata basis from the date of the damage until the date of the completion of such repairs (the "repair period "), based on the proportion of the rentable area of the Premises that is unsuitable for Tenant's business, as reasonably determined by Tenant in its good faith discretion, as a result of such damage. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other insured casualty to an extent Landlord has determined in its reasonable discretion cannot be repaired within 120 days after the notice date, then (1) Landlord may cancel this Lease as of the date of the damage by written notice given to Tenant on or before the notice date, or (2) Tenant may cancel this Lease as of the date of the damage by written notice given to Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's actual receipt of Landlord's written notice that the repairs cannot be made within such 120 -day period. In any event, if written notice as to the time that Landlord has determined in its reasonable discretion will be needed to repair the damage and the election (if any) that Landlord has made according to this section is not actually received by Tenant on or before the notice date, then Tenant may cancel this Lease as of the date of the damage by written notice given to Landlord within 10 days after the notice date. If neither Landlord nor Tenant so elects to cancel this Lease, Landlord will use reasonable diligence to proceed to repair the Building and Premises to a condition comparable to its condition prior to the date of such damage, and Rent will be abated on a pro rata basis during the repair period, based on the proportion of the rentable area of the Premises that is unsuitable for Tenant's business, as reasonably determined by Tenant in its good faith discretion, as a result of such damage, and if such repair is not completed prior to the date 120 days after the date of such damage (as such time period may be extended for up to 45 days for delays beyond the control of Landlord of which Tenant is given notice, so long as Landlord diligently prosecutes such repair to completion), Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage by giving written notice to Landlord on or before the date 30 days after the expiration of such 120 -day period. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by any casualty against which Landlord is not required hereby to carry and maintain insurance, or if the insurance proceeds along with any deductible are insufficient to pay for the repair of any damage to the Premises or the Building, 15 ATLUB01 781146.6 Landlord will have the option either, subject to the rights and obligations of the parties as set forth in the preceding three paragraphs, to elect to repair the damage or to cancel this Lease as of the date of the casualty by written notice to Tenant on or before the notice date. Landlord will not be responsible for repairing or replacing any of Tenant's improvements, fixtures, or personal property, unless such improvements, fixtures or personal property were originally paid for by Landlord. If any damage by fire or other casualty is the result of willful conduct or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, or invitees, Rent will not be abated. Tenant will have no right to terminate this Lease on account of any damage to the Premises, the Building or the Project, except as set forth in this Lease. 19.0 Entry By Landlord Landlord, its agents, employees, and contractors may enter the Premises at any time in response to an emergency and at reasonable hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to: (a) Inspect the Premises; (b) Exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders and exhibit the Premises during the final six (6) months of the Term to prospective tenants; (c) Determine whether Tenant is complying with all its obligations in this Lease; (d) Post written notices of non - responsibility or similar notices; or (e) Make repairs required of Landlord under the terms of this Lease or make repairs to any adjoining space or utility services or make repairs, alterations, or improvements to any other portion of the Building.

Landlord will have the right to use any and all reasonable means Landlord may reasonably deem proper to open doors in and to the Premises in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises by Landlord in accordance with this Section will not be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion of the Premises, nor will any such entry entitle Tenant to damages or an abatement of monthly rent, additional rent, or other charges that this lease requires Tenant to pay. 20.0 Effect of Sale So long as such successor in interest assumes Landlord's obligations under the Lease arising from and after such effective date: a sale, conveyance, or assignment of the Building and the Building Land or the Project will operate to release Landlord from liability from and after the effective date of such sale, conveyance, or assignment upon all of the covenants, terms, and conditions of this Lease, express or implied, except those liabilities that arose prior to such effective date; after the effective date of such sale, conveyance, or assignment, Tenant will look solely to Landlord's successor in interest in and to this Lease for Landlord's 16 ATLLB01 781146.6 obligations under the Lease arising from and after such effective date; this Lease will not be affected by any such sale, conveyance, or assignment; and Tenant will attorn to Landlord's successor in interest to this Lease. 21.0 Parking Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, customers and other invitees, will have the right to use Two Hundred (200) parking spaces in the Building parking lot identified on Exhibit D, attached hereto.

Tenant may, at its discretion, designate such 200 spaces (by painting on the surface of the parking lot or otherwise), together with the Parking Lot Expansion, as being reserved for Tenant and may post warning signs concerning towing or other consequences of vehicles not authorized by Tenant being parked in such spaces, so long as Tenant removes or paints over any such designation and removes any such warning signs upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant may reasonably enforce its rights to such spaces. 22.0 Subordination 22.1 Genera 1. This Lease and Tenant's rights under this Lease are subject and subordinate to any ground or underlying lease, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, or other lien encumbrance (each, a "Mortgage "), together with any renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations, and replacements of such superior lien, now or after the date affecting or placed, charged, or enforced against the Building Land, the Building, or all or any portion of the Project or any interest of Landlord in them or Landlord's interest in this Lease and the leasehold estate created by this lease, so long as, with respect to any Mortgage so affecting, or placed, charged or enforced against, the Building Land, Building, Project or any such interest, the mortgagee or secured party thereunder first agrees in writing not to disturb this Lease or Tenant's rights, interests and privileges hereunder. This provision will be self - operative and no further instrument of subordination will be required in order to effect it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will execute, acknowledge, and deliver lien and reasonably acceptable to Tenant to confirm or effect any subordination to Landlord within twenty (20) days after written demand by Landlord, such documents as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or the holder of any superior lien and reasonably acceptable to Tenant. 22.2 Attornment and Nondisturbance Tenant agrees that in the event that any holder of a superior lien succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Premises, then, upon receipt of reasonable evidence of such succession, Tenant will pay to such holder all rents subsequently payable under this Lease. Further, Tenant agrees that in the event of the enforcement by the holder of a superior lien of the remedies provided for by law or by such superior lien, tenant will, upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement (a "Successor Landlord ") and receipt of reasonable evidence of such succession, automatically become the Tenant of and attorn to such Successor Landlord without change in the terms of provisions of this Lease. Such Successor Landlord will not be bound by: 17 ATLLIB01 781146.6 (a) Any payment of rent for more than one month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease; (b) Any amendment or modification of this Lease made after Tenant's receipt of reasonable evidence of such succession without the written consent of such Successor Landlord; or (c) Any claim for damages against Landlord arising prior to the date on which such Successor Landlord succeeded to Landlord's interest; provided however that this sentence shall not prohibit Tenant from offsetting rent or terminating this Lease, if Tenant is entitled to such offset or termination in this Lease herein or to any remedy that Tenant may be entitled to in law or equity. Upon request by such Successor Landlord and without cost to Landlord or such Successor Landlord, Tenant will, within twenty (20) days after written demand, execute, acknowledge, and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment, so long as such instrument provides that such Successor Landlord will not disturb Tenant in its use of the Premises in accordance with this Lease and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Tenant. 23.0 Esto -pPel Certificate Upon receipt of a written request from either party, the other party shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the party requesting such statement a written statement (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification) and in full force and effect and the dates to which rent and other charges are paid in advance, (ii) acknowledging that there are no then existing defaults or events known to the executing party which would, given the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute events of default, (iii) setting forth such other matters as the party executing such certificate may desire, or acknowledging any other factual matters that the party requesting such statement may reasonably request. In addition, upon receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such written statement within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request. The statements to be made by either party may be modified to reflect the true and correct state of the facts at the time of such statement. Any such statements may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Premises. Failure to deliver such statement within such 15 -day period shall entitle the party requesting such statement to give a second notice to the other party, and failure to deliver such statement within five (5) days after receipt of such second notice shall be conclusive against the party asked to produce such statement that the statements set forth therein are true and correct. 24.0 Default, Remedies 24.1 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) Tenant's failure to make any payment of Rent, as and when due, where such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that such is past due. 18 ATLLIB01 781146.6 (b) Tenant's failure to observe or perform any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure, unless such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 -day period, in which event Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease provided Tenant commences to cure such failure within said 30 -day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursue completion thereof. (c) Any assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease contrary to the provisions of this Lease. (d) To the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a proceeding under state or federal involving and/or bankruptcy laws (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease. 24.2 Remedies In the event of any such default or breach, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the following rights and remedies at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand: (a) To terminate this Lease effective immediately upon delivery of written notice to Tenant and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises within 5 days after receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant: (1) The worth at the time of payment of same, by reason of a judgment, settlement or otherwise (the "time of the award "), of the unpaid Rent due and payable at the time of termination; (2) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that could have been reasonably avoided; (3) The worth at the time of the award (computed by discounting to present value at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus two percent) of the amount by which the rents for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceed the amount of such rental loss that could be reasonably avoided; (4) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all actual, direct damages suffered by Landlord and proximately caused by the default by Tenant or which in the ordinary course of events would likely result. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at an annual rate (the "Default Interest Rate ") equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10 %), or (ii) five percent (5 %) plus the rate established by the Federal 19 ATLLIB01 761146.6 Reserve Bank of Denver, as of the twenty -fifth (25th) day of the month immediately preceding the default by Tenant, on advances to member banks under Sections 13 and 13(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as now in effect or hereafter from time to time amended, not to exceed the maximum rate allowable by law. (b) Continuance of Lease Upon any default by Tenant and unless and until Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 24.2(a) above, this Lease shall continue in effect after the default by Tenant and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including without limitation, the right to recover payment of Rent as they become due. Neither efforts by Landlord to mitigate damages caused by a default by Tenant nor the acceptance of any Rent shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of Landlord's rights or remedies, including the rights and remedies specified in Section 24.2(a) above. 24.3 Remedies Cumulative No remedy or option of Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy or option given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation an action to recover amounts due hereunder. Landlord may exercise its rights and remedies at any time, in any order, to any extent, and as often as Landlord deems advisable. 24.4 Landlord's Right to Act If Tenant fails to timely perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant of such failure, and in the event Tenant has not performed such obligation within any applicable notice and cure period as set forth in Subsection 24.1, above, Landlord shall have the right, without any passage of time or declaring Tenant in default, to perform such obligation on Tenant's behalf and to charge to Tenant all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Tenant shall within ten (10) days pay such amount upon presentment of a statement to Tenant. Such amount shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of such written statement. 24.5 Late Charges Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises. Accordingly, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without the necessity of prior notice or demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5 %) of any installment of Rent which is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the due date for such installment. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any installment of Rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon any default of Tenant in the payment of such installment of Rent when due, including without limitation the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this Section 24.0. In the event any installment of Rent is not received by Landlord by the thirtieth (30th) day after the due date for such installment, such installment shall bear interest at the annual rate set forth in Section 24.6 below, commencing on the thirty- 20 ATLLIB01 781146.6 first (31 st) day after the due date for such installment and continuing until such installment is paid in full. 24.6 Interest on Past -Due Obligations Any payment due from Tenant to Landlord not received by Landlord within thirty (30) days after the same is due, shall bear interest from the due date until paid, at the Default Interest Rate. In addition, Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in the collection of such amounts. 24.7 Attorneys' Fees In any dispute between the parties the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party immediately upon demand all reasonable costs, attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, costs of test and analysis, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcript copies, court costs and other similar reasonable costs and fees incurred in enforcing its rights and remedies under this Lease, regardless of whether legal proceedings are actually commenced. 24.8 Accord and Satisfaction Payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent or other charges due hereunder shall be deemed to be on account of the earliest due stipulated rent or other charges, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or other charges or pursue any other remedy in this Lease. 25.0 Landlord's Liabili 25.1 Default by Landlord Landlord shall not be considered in default or breach of this Lease for the nonperformance of any obligation imposed herein unless such nonperformance shall continue for a period of at least thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant; provided, however, if the nature of the nonperformance is such that it cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord commences to cure such nonperformance within such 30 -day period and thereafter pursues such cure to completion in the exercise of reasonable diligence. The liability of Landlord, or any of the respective partners, officers or directors of Landlord, to Tenant for or in respect of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Project and the rents, profits and proceeds therefrom. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the Project and the rents and profits therefrom for the recovery and satisfaction of any judgment against Landlord, or any of the respective partners, officers or directors of Landlord. 25.2 Sale of Landlord's Interest Upon any sale or conveyance of Landlord's interest in this Lease, and provided the transferee of such interest assumes in writing all of Landlord's obligations hereunder from and after the date of such transfer or assignment, Landlord shall be entirely relieved of all liability for Landlord's obligations under the Lease accruing thereafter. Landlord shall, concurrently with such transfer, deliver to Tenant written notice thereof together with a copy of the instrument by which the transferee assumed the obligations of Landlord hereunder. 21 ATLLIB01 781146.6 25.3 Mortgage Exculpation Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to Subsection 22.2, above, Tenant waives and holds any mortgagee or beneficiary named in any mortgage, deed or trust or other security instrument harmless from any and all claims Tenant may have against Landlord arising prior to the mortgage or beneficiary succeeding to Landlord's interest hereunder. 26.0 Force Majeure If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act by reason of acts of god, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, failure or refusal of governmental authorities to timely issue permits or approvals or conduct reviews or inspections, civil disorder, inability to procure materials, materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, or other causes beyond the control of the party obligated (financial inability excepted), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, nothing herein shall excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of rent or any other sum. 27.0 Notices No notice, consent, approval or other communication given in connection herewith shall be validly given, made, delivered or served unless in writing and delivered in person or sent by confirmed facsimile transmission and/or registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, to Landlord or Tenant at the address set forth below or to such other addresses as Landlord or Tenant may from time to time designate in writing and deliver to the other party in accordance with this Article.
