Sublessee acknowledges that it has reviewed and is familiar with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made part hereof. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease are incorporated herein by reference, to the extent they are applicable to the Subleased Premises, so that except to the extent that they are inapplicable, each and every term, covenant and condition of the Master Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of the "Landlord" thereunder (sometimes referred to herein as "Landlord") shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Sublessor, and each and every term, covenant and conditions of the Master Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of "Tenant" thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Sublessee, with the same force and effect as if such terms, covenants and conditions were completely set forth in this page 1 <PAGE> 2 Sublease and as if the words "Landlord" and "Tenant", or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed to mean, respectively, "Sublessor" and "Sublessee" in this Sublease, and as if the words "Demised Premises", or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed to mean the "Subleased Premises." Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of the Master Lease and the provisions of this Sublease, the provisions of this Sublease shall prevail as between Sublessor and Sublessee.

Payments to Sublessor will resume accruing the next month, unless a notarized document is again received by Escrow Agent from Sublessee that Sublessor has not remited monthly rent due under the Master Lease to Master Landlord, in which case Escrow Agent will follow the process as outlined in paragraph 5(b)(i) hereinabove.

Payments to Sublessor will resume accruing the next month, unless a notarized document is again received by Escrow Agent from Sublessee that Sublessee is making Monthly Rent payments directly to the Master Landlord due to Sublessor's failure to make said payments, in which case Escrow Agent will follow the process as outlined in paragraph 5(b)(iii) hereinabove. (iv) If Sublessee's Authorized Representative or Sublessor's Authorized Representative presents a notarized document to Escrow Agent stating that the Sublease has been terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sublease and/or the Master Lease for a reason other than Sublessee default, Escrow Agent will send a copy of same notice by FedEx to the other Authorized Representative . If that Authorized Representative informs Escrow Agent within twenty (20) business days that said notice is false, Escrow Agent will stop further disbursements until resolution according to provision 5(b)(vii) below. If the Authorized Representative does not provide such notice within this twenty (20) business day period, Escrow Agent shall release the remaining monies in the Escrow Account to Sublessee without further delay. (v) If Sublessee's Authorized Representative or Sublessor's Authorized Representative presents a notarized document to Escrow Agent stating that the Sublease has been terminated for reason of Sublessee default, Escrow Agent will send a copy of same notice by FedEx to the other Authorized Representative . If that Authorized Representative informs Escrow Agent within twenty (20) business days that said notice is false, Escrow Agent will stop further disbursements until resolution according to provision 5(b)(vii) below.

If that Authorized Representative informs Escrow Agent within ten (10)) business days that said notice is false, Escrow Agent will stop further disbursements until resolution according to provision 5(b)(vii) below. If the Authorized Representative does not provide such notice within this ten (10) business day period, Escrow Agent shall withhold the sum representing the proportionate abatement of monthly rent ("Monthly Abatement") from the next Quarterly Payment to Sublessor. Furthermore, Escrow Agent will release said Monthly Abatement to Sublessee within ten (10) business days after the deadline for Sublessor to refute said notice. Payments to Sublessor will resume accruing the next month, unless a notarized document is again received by Escrow Agent from Sublessee's Authorized Representative or Sublessor's Authorized Representative stating that Sublessee is entitled to an abatement of rent under the Sublease and further illustrating the proportion of monthly rent to be abated, in which case Escrow Agent will follow the process as outlined in paragraph 5(b)(v) hereinabove. (vi) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses herein, Sublessor shall be exclusively entitled to retain all interest accruing on the outstanding balance in the Escrow Account. (vii) In the event of a dispute between Sublessor and Sublessee regarding Sublessor's or Sublessee's rights to the escrowed funds, then such dispute shall be settled by arbitration, whether by use of a private arbitration firm or otherwise, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days of such dispute. Sublessor and Sublessee shall each select one arbitrator and a third arbitrator will be selected unanimously by the two arbitrators, or, if they are so unable, then Sublessor and Sublessee shall consent to the selection of the third arbitrator by the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. The decision of such arbitrators shall be binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee.

The Additional Services Reimbursement shall be reserved for reimbursement by Sublessee to Sublessor for those additional services requested by Sublessee of Master Landlord which are outside of the basic scope of the Master Lease. (d) Sublessee and Sublessor acknowledge that the amount set forth in paragraph 5(a) above is intended to be Sublessor's full compensation for Sublessee's occupancy of the Subleased Premises. Specifically and without limitation, Sublessee shall not be obligated to pay for any increases in Operating Expenses that Sublessor may be obligated to pay to the Master Landlord under the Master Lease. 6.

QUIET ENJOYMENT. Sublessor covenants and agrees with Sublessee that upon Sublessee's paying the rent and additional rent and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions on Sublessee's part to be observed and performed, Sublessee may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Subleased Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease and to the Master Lease. 11.

Such enforcement shall be the sole expense of Sublessee.

Any amount of recovery obtained by Sublessee shall be the property of Sublessee. 25. NO MODIFICATION OF MASTER LEASE.
