NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Adams Golf, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company", "Adams Golf", "we", "us", or "our") for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information included reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods.   However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.  The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shoul d be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed, as amended, with the SEC on March 22, 2006.

Founded in 1987, Adams Golf, Inc initially operated as a component supplier and contract manufacturer.   Thereafter, we established our custom fitting operation.  Today we design, assemble, market and distribute premium quality, technologically innovative golf clubs, including the RPM drivers and fairway woods, Ovation drivers and fairway woods, the Idea A2 and A2 OS irons, and Idea A2 I-woods, Idea Pro irons, Idea, A1 and A1 Pro Irons and Idea i-Woods, the Tight Lies family of fairway woods, the Redline family of fairway woods and drivers, the Tight Lies GT3 and GT2 irons and i-Woods, the Tom Watson signature and Puglielli series of wedges, and certain accessories. Our Company was incorporated in 1987 and re-domesticated in Delaware in 1990.  We completed an internal reorganization in 1997, and we now conduct our operations through several direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, agencies and distributorships.

       Total Inventory

$  22,869

Inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out method and is recorded at the lower of cost or market value.  The inventory balance is comprised of the following: purchased raw materials or finished goods at their respective purchase costs; labor, assembly and other capitalizable overhead costs, which are then applied to each unit after work in process is completed; retained costs representing the excess of manufacturing and other overhead costs that are not yet applied to finished goods; and an estimated allowance for obsolete inventory.  At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, inventories included $572,000 and $837,000 of consigned inventory, respectively, and $152,000 and $215,000 of inventory reserves, respectively.

4.   Income (Loss) per Common Share

The weighted average common shares used for determining basic and diluted loss per common share was
23,241,269, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and 22,691,023, for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

The effect of all warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were excluded from the calculation of dilutive shares as the effect of inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The weighted average common shares used for determining basic and diluted income per common share were 23,155,348 and 28,774,296, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and 22,678,391 and 28,494,773, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

The effect of all warrants and options to purchase shares of our common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 resulted in additional dilutive shares of 5,618,948.  The effect of all warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted in additional dilutive shares of 5,816,382.

Foreign net sales are generated in various regions including, but not limited to, Canada (a majority of our foreign sales), Europe, Japan, Australia, South Africa, and South America.  A change in our relationship with one or more of our customers or distributors could negatively impact the volume of foreign sales.

6.   Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Due to our historical operating results, management is unable to conclude on a more likely than not basis that all deferred income tax assets generated from net operating losses and other deferred tax assets through December 31, 2002 will be realized.  Accordingly, we have recognized a valuation allowance equal to the entire deferred income tax asset.  Although we have carryforwards due to historical losses, current tax law for calculating Alternative Minimum Tax allows us to use carryforwards only up to 90% of the annual liability.  Accordingly, AMT tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $22,000 and $6,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $53,000 and $64,000, respectively.

7.   Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

8.   Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $4.8 million.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9.   Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan for employees, outside directors and consultants.  The plan allows for the granting of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at the inception of the plan, plus all shares remaining available for issuance under all predecessor plans on the effective date of this plan, and additional shares as defined in the plan.  In addition, the plan automatically increases 1,000,000 shares available for granting on January 1 of each subsequent year for years 2003 through 2008.  At September 30, 2006, 5,887,465 outstanding options had been granted with exercise prices at $0.01 per share at the date of grant.  The requisite service periods for the options to vest vary from six months to four years and the options expire ten years from the date of grant.  At September 30, 2006, 2,184,632 shares remain available for grant, including forfeitures.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), which established accounting standards for transactions where the entity exchanges equity instruments for goods and services.  The revision of this statement focuses on the accounting for transactions where the entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  This statement revision eliminates the alternative use of APB 25 intrinsic value method and requires that entities adopt the fair-value method for all share-based transactions.  We adopted the provisions of this standard on a modified prospective basis on January 1, 2006.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share for the prior year period as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148 to stock-based employee compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 (in thousan ds, except for per share amounts):

The weighted average contractual life of the options outstanding at September 30, 2006 was 7.72 years and for options exercisable at September 30, 2006 was 7.08 years.

The effect of compensation expense associated with adopting SFAS 123R for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, had an expense effect on income from operations, income before taxes and net income associated with stock options and warrants of $260,000 and $779,000, respectively.  The reported basic and diluted earnings per share were both $(0.02) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $0.20 and $0.16, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Had we not adopted SFAS 123R, the effect to net income under APB 25 would have been $271,000 and $814,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30 2006, respectively.  The basic and diluted earnings per share would have both been $(0.02) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $0.20 and $0.16, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R in January 2006, the deferred stock-based compensation balance of approximately $1,845,000 and $2,570,000 were netted into additional paid in capital at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Under the provisions of the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has the authority to repurchase the taxable portion of the employee's shares that become outstanding after the employee exercises their options.  At August 15, 2006, the Company repurchased 137,384 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $1.35 for a total cost of approximately $186,000.  The repurchased shares are held in treasury.

10.   New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new material accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business for this period.

11.   Liquidity

In February 2006, we signed a revolving credit agreement with Bank of Texas to provide up to $10.0 million in short term debt.  The agreement is collateralized by all of our assets and requires, among other things, us to maintain certain financial performance levels relative to the cash flow leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, but only when we have an outstanding balance on the facility.  Interest on outstanding balances varies depending on the portion of the line that is used and accrues at a rate from prime less one percent to prime and is due quarterly.  

Our anticipated sources of liquidity over the next twelve months are expected to be cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations, and available borrowings under our credit facility.  We anticipate that operating cash flows and current cash reserves will also fund capital expenditure programs.  These capital expenditure programs can be suspended or delayed at any time with minimal disruption to our operations if cash is needed in other areas of our operations.  In addition, cash flows from operations and cash reserves will be used to support ongoing purchases of component parts for our current and future product lines.  The expected operating cash flow, current cash reserves and borrowings available under our credit facility are expected to allow us to meet working capital requirements during periods of low cash flows resulting from the seasonality of the industry.

ADAMS GOLF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11.   Liquidity (continued)

Management believes that sufficient resources will be available to meet our cash requirements through the next twelve months.  Cash requirements beyond twelve months are dependent on our ability to introduce products that gain market acceptance and to manage working capital requirements.  We have introduced new products and taken steps to increase the market acceptance of these and our other products.  If our products fail to achieve appropriate levels of market acceptance, it is possible that we may have to raise additional capital and/or further reduce our operating expenses including further operational restructurings.  If we need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, stockholders could experience additional dilution, or such equity securities could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.  Nevertheless, given the current market price of our common stock and the state of the capital markets generally, we do not expect that we will be able to raise funds through the issuance of our capital stock in the foreseeable future.  We may also find it difficult to secure additional debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all.  Accordingly, it is possible that our only sources of funding will be current cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations and up to $10.0 million of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.

If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue operations; develop, enhance and market products; retain qualified personnel; take advantage of future opportunities; or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity.

12.   Contingencies

Beginning in June 1999, the first of seven class action lawsuits was filed against us, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the three underwriters of our initial public offering ("IPO") in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware.  The complaints alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with our IPO.  In particular, the complaints alleged that our prospectus, which became effective July 9, 1998, was materially false and misleading in at least two areas.  Plaintiffs alleged that the prospectus failed to disclose that unauthorized distribution of our products (gray market sales) threatened our long-term profits. Plaintiffs also alleged that the prospectus failed to disclose that the golf equipment industry suffered from an oversupply of inventory at the retail level, which had an adverse impact on our sales.  On May 17, 2000, these cases were consolidated into one amended complaint, and a lead plaintiff was appointed.  The plaintiffs were seeking unspecified amounts of compensatory damages, interest and costs, including legal fees.  On December 10, 2001, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware dismissed the consolidated, amended complaint.  Plaintiffs appealed.  On August 25, 2004, the appellate court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs' claims relating to oversupply of retail inventory, while reversing the dismissal of the claims relating to the impact of gray market sales and remanding those claims for further proceedings.  On August 3, 2005, the district court certified a class of section 11 claimants, but shortened the proposed class period to end on October 22, 1998, and declined to certify a section 12(a)(2) class against the Adams Golf defendants.  On September 1, 2005, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint, which was granted on January 24, 2006.    Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint ("SAC"), which the District Court granted in part and denied in part on April 10, 2006.  Now, in addition to the gray-market sales claim, the SAC alleges that the prospectus failed to disclose that we engaged in questionable sales practices (including double shipping and unlimited rights of return), which threatened post-IPO financial results.   Fact discovery closed on June 30, 2006.  Trial is currently set for June 18, 2007.

ADAMS GOLF, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


12.   Contingencies (continued)

We maintain directors' and officers' ("D&O") and corporate liability insurance to cover certain risks associated with these securities claims filed against us or our directors and officers.  During the period covering the class action lawsuit, we maintained insurance from multiple carriers, each insuring a different layer of exposure, up to a total of $50 million.  In addition, we have met the financial deductible of our directors' and officers' insurance policy for the period covering the time the class action lawsuit was filed.  Specifically, Zurich American Insurance Company provided insurance coverage totaling $5 million for the layer of exposure between $15 million and $20 million.  On March 30, 2006, Zurich American Insurance Company notified us that it was denying coverage due to the fact that it was allegedly not timely notified of the class action lawsuit.  We are currently assessing whether Zurich's denial of coverage is appropriat e and the effect, if any, the denial has on insurance coverage for the layers of exposure exceeding $20 million.  At this point in the legal proceedings, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of the matter, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus can not reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.  

The underwriters for the IPO are also defendants in the securities class action.  The underwriting agreement that we entered into with the underwriters in connection with the IPO contains an indemnification clause, providing for indemnification against any loss, including defense costs, arising out of the IPO.  After the first lawsuit was filed, the underwriters requested indemnification under the agreement.  Our D&O insurance policy included an endorsement providing $1 million to cover indemnification of the underwriters.  Our D&O insurer has notified the underwriters of the exhaustion of the $1 million sublimit.  We believe that the $1 million payment under the insurance policy satisfies our indemnification obligation, or alternatively, that there are reasons why the Company may not have any further indemnification obligations.  We are in negotiations with the underwriters, and if necessary, may dispute any further requests for indemnifica tion.  At this point, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of the matter, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus cannot reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

On March 16, 2006, we became aware of a lawsuit filed against us in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of California by TaylorMade, a division of Adidas-Salomon AG.  The lawsuit alleges generally that we violated three patents held by TaylorMade (one design patent and two utility patents) in the manufacture of drivers.  We have engaged in settlement negotiations with TaylorMade with the common goal of finalizing the settlement agreement by the end of December 2006.

From time to time, we are engaged in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time.  

13.   Business and Credit Concentrations

We are currently dependent on five customers, which collectively comprised approximately 28% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Of these, two customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, and no customers represented greater than 10%.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005, three customers comprised approximately 25% of net sales while two customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of total net sales.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 25% of net sales.  Of these, two customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, and no customers represented greater than 10%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, four customers comprised approximately 25% of net sales while one customer individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of total net sales.  Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their payment obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.  

A significant portion of our inventory purchases are from one supplier.  That supplier represents approximately 64% and 53% of total inventory purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This supplier and many other industry suppliers are located in China.  We do not anticipate any changes in the relationships with our suppliers; however, if any changes were to occur, we believe we would have alternative sources available although they might result in possible increased costs, potential changes in terms or possible delays in timing.

14.   Leased Properties

The Company has added on August 16, 2006 a second location for its warehouse facilities occupying another 29,136 square feet of warehouse space in Plano, Texas, conveniently located to our existing administration and assembly facility.  This facility is leased by the Company pursuant to a lease agreement expiring in 2008.   The Company believes that its current facilities encompassing both locations will be sufficient for the foreseeable future.
 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2006.

Overview

Founded in 1987, Adams Golf, Inc. initially operated as a component supplier and contract manufacturer.   Thereafter, we established our custom fitting operation.  Today we design, assemble, market and distribute premium quality, technologically innovative golf clubs, including RPM drivers and fairway woods, Ovation drivers and fairway woods, the Idea A2 and A2 OS irons, and Idea A2 I-woods, Idea Pro irons, Idea, A1 and A1 Pro Irons and Idea i-Woods, the Tight Lies family of fairway woods, the Redline family of fairway woods and drivers, the Tight Lies GT3 and GT2 irons and i-Woods, the Tom Watson signature and Puglielli series of wedges, and certain accessories. Our Company was incorporated in 1987 and re-domesticated in Delaware in 1990.  We completed an internal reorganization in 1997, and we now conduct our operations through several direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, agencies and distributorships.

Our net sales are primarily derived from sales to on- and off- course golf shops and sporting goods retailers and, to a lesser extent, international distributors and mass merchandisers.  No assurances can be given that demand for our current products or the introduction of new products will allow us to achieve historical levels of sales in the future.

We manage all stages of manufacturing, from sourcing to assembly, in order to maintain a high level of product quality and consistency.  We establish product specifications, select the material used to produce the components, and test the specifications of components we receive.

As part of our quality control program, we periodically review the quality assurance programs at the manufacturing facilities of our component part suppliers to monitor adherence to design specifications.  Upon arrival at our facilities in Plano, Texas, the components used in our clubs are again checked to ensure consistency with our design specifications.  Golf clubs are then assembled using the appropriate component parts.

We have put into place a purchasing procedure that strives to negotiate effective terms with various vendors while continuing to ensure quality of components.  We are continually re-evaluating existing vendors while testing potential new vendors for all the various product lines we offer.  At any time, we may purchase a substantial majority of our volume of a specific component part from a single vendor, but we continually strive to maintain a primary and several secondary suppliers for each component part.  Substantially all of our fairway wood, driver, iron, i-wood, wedge and putter component parts are manufactured in China.  Since many of our available component suppliers are located in close proximity in Asia, this concentration could adversely effect our ability to obtain components resulting from negative events such as, but not limited to, foreign government relations, import and export control, political unrest, disruptions or delays in shipments and changes in economic conditions and fluctuation in exchange rates.  A significant portion of our inventory purchases are from one supplier representing approximately 64% and 53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This supplier and many other industry suppliers are located predominately in China.  We do not anticipate any changes in the relationships with our suppliers; however, if such change were to occur, we could, in the future, experience shortages of components or periods of increased price pressures or changes in terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity.  To date, we have not experienced any material interruptions in supply from any supplier.

Costs of our clubs consist primarily of component parts, including the head, shaft and grip.  To a lesser extent, our cost of goods sold includes labor, occupancy and shipping costs in connection with the inspection, testing, assembly and distribution of our products and certain promotional and advertising costs given in the form of additional merchandise as consideration to customers.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  On an on-going basis, we review our estimates to ensure that the estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business.

   Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and primarily consist of finished golf clubs and component parts.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  The inventory balance, which includes material, labor and assembly overhead costs, is recorded net of an estimated allowance for obsolete inventory.  The estimated allowance for obsolete inventory is based upon management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand.  Accounting for inventories could result in material adjustments if market conditions and future demand estimates are significantly different than original assumptions, causing the reserve for obsolescence to be materially adversely affected.

   Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the product is shipped.  At that time, the title and risk of loss transfer to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured.  Collectability is evaluated on an individual customer basis taking into consideration historical payment trends, current financial position, results of independent credit evaluations and payment terms.  Additionally, an estimate of product returns and warranty costs are recorded when revenue is recognized.  Estimates are based on historical trends taking into consideration current market conditions, customer demands and product sell through.  We also record estimated reductions in revenue for sales programs such as co-op advertising and spiff incentives.  Estimates in the sales program accruals are based on program participation and forecast of future product demand.  If actual sales returns and sales programs significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowances, our sales would be adv ersely affected.  We recognize deferred revenue as a result of sales that have extended terms and a right of return of the product under a specified program.  Once the product is paid for, we then record revenue.

   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  An estimate of uncollectable amounts is made by management using an evaluation methodology involving both overall and specific identification.  We evaluate each individual customer and measure various key aspects of the customer such as, but not limited to, their overall credit risk (via Dun and Bradstreet reports), payment history, track record for meeting payment plans, industry communications, the portion of the customer's balance that is past due and other various items.  From an overall perspective, we also look at the aging of the receivables in total and aging relative to prior periods to determine the necessary reserve requirements.  Fluctuations in the reserve requirements will occur from period to period as the change in customer mix or strength of the customers could affect the reserve disproportionately compar ed to the total change in the accounts receivable balance.  Based on management's assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectable amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the valuation allowance.  Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.  We generally do not require collateral.  Accounting for an allowance for doubtful accounts could be significantly affected as a result of a deviation in our assessment of any one or more customers' financial strength.  While only two customers represent greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales and no customer represents greater than 10% of the net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006, if a combination of customers were to become financially impaired, our financial results could be severely affected.

   Product Warranty

Our golf equipment is sold under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year with the exception of the graphite tipped (GT) and BiMatrx steel tipped (ST) shafts which carry a five year warranty.  An allowance for estimated future warranty costs is recorded in the period products are sold.  In estimating our future warranty obligations, we consider various relevant factors, including our stated warranty policies, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair the product.  Accounting for product warranty reserve could be adversely affected if one or more of our products were to fail (i.e broken shaft, broken head, etc) to a significant degree above and beyond our historical product failure rates, which determine the product warranty accruals.

   Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of fut ure taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Due to our historical operating results, management is unable to conclude on a more likely than not basis that all deferred income tax assets generated from net operating losses through December 31, 2002 and other deferred tax assets will be realized.   Accordingly, we have recognized a valuation allowance equal to the entire deferred income tax asset.

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We follow the guidance in SFAS ("Statement of Financial Accounting Standards") 144 in reviewing long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management team has defined and tracks performance against several key sales, operational and balance sheet performance indicators.  Key sales performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Daily sales by product group
          --Daily sales by geography
          --Sales by customer channel
          --Gross margin performance
          --Market share by product at retail
          --Inventory share by product at retail

Tracking these sales performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand whether we are on target to achieve our internal sales plans.

Key operational performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Product returns (dollars and percentage of sales)
          --Product credits (dollars and percentage of sales)
          --Units shipped per man-hour worked
          --Orders shipped on time
          --Expenses by department
          --Freight cost by mode (dollars and dollars per unit)

Tracking these operational performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand whether we will achieve our expense targets and efficiently satisfy customer demand.

Key balance sheet performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Days of sales outstanding
          --Days of inventory (at cost)
          --Days of payables outstanding

Tracking these balance sheet performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand our working capital performance and forecast cash flow and liquidity.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005

Total net sales increased to $15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $10.2 million for the same comparable period of 2005 primarily resulting from the successful product introductions of the Idea Pro Irons coupled with the continued success of Idea A2 and A2 OS Irons sales.  Overall, product family life cycles generally range from one to three years, and each product family varies in its life cycle as there are multiple factors influencing the life cycle, such as, but not limited to, customer acceptance, competition and technology.

Net sales of drivers decreased to $1.5 million, or 10.3% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $3.3 million, or 32.6% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2005.  A large portion of the driver net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was generated by the RPM Ti and RPM Dual product lines, which were introduced in the second quarter of 2005.  The overall decrease in driver net revenue results from lower sales of RPM and Ovation driver product families as they progress farther in their life cycle.

Net sales of irons increased to $10.2 million, or 68.3% of total net sales, from $4.2 million, or 40.8% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increase was primarily generated from the net sales of Idea A2 and A2 OS irons which were launched in the late part of third quarter 2005 and GT3 Irons while the prior period net sales primarily resulted from the Original Idea irons and A2 and A2 OS irons for a short period of time.

Net sales of fairway woods decreased to $2.1 million, or 14.0% of total net sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 25.5% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This period's net sales were generated from Idea A2, A2 OS and Idea Pro I-woods and the RPM LP Fairway woods.  The prior period's net sales were generated from Ovation fairway woods, Idea, A2 and A2 OS I-woods, RPM SS and Ti Fairway woods and Original Tight Lies fairway woods.

We are currently dependent on five customers, which collectively comprised approximately 28% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  Of these, two customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, and no customers represented greater than 10% of net sales.  Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their payment obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.

Net sales of our products outside the U.S. increased to $2.1 million, or 14.1% of total net sales, from $1.2 million, or 11.8% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Net sales resulting from countries outside the U.S. excluding Canada increased to 5.0% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 1.7% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Cost of goods sold increased to $8.6 million, or 57.3% of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $6.0 million, or 59.2% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2005.  The decrease as a percentage of total net sales is primarily due to changes in the product mix and stronger selling prices and volume of the A2 and A2 OS irons during this quarter.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2005.  The increase is primarily the result of additional commission expense of $0.3 million as a result of the increased net sales during the period. 

General and administrative expenses increased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2005.  The increase is primarily a result of $0.2 million of bad debt expense resulting from our continued efforts to maintain adequate reserves for accounts receivable.

Research and development expenses, primarily consisting of costs associated with development of new products, increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2005.

Settlement expense was zero for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a reversal of expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The reversal settlement expense in 2005 was a result of the reversal of the accrued expenses for the settlement agreement that was reached with Mr. Nick Faldo in regards to the dispute regarding provisions of his prior professional services agreement with Adams Golf.  Since Mr. Faldo did not perform the minimum requirements of his contract, the Company is no longer due to make any future payments under that agreement.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Total net sales increased to $63.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $46.8 million for the same comparable period of 2005 primarily resulting from the successful product introductions of the Idea A2 and A2 OS Irons.  Overall, product family life cycles generally range from one to three years, and each product family varies in its life cycle as there are multiple factors influencing the life, such as, but not limited to, customer acceptance, competition and technology.

Net sales of drivers decreased to $6.8 million, or 10.8% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $14.5 million, or 31.1% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2005.  A large portion of the driver net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was generated by the RPM Ti and RPM Dual product lines, which were introduced in the second quarter of 2005, respectively.  The overall decrease in driver net revenue results from lower sales of RPM and Ovation driver product families as they progress farther in their life cycle.

Net sales of irons increased to $42.4 million, or 67.3% of total net sales, from $18.2 million, or 38.9% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increase was primarily generated from the net sales of Idea A2 and A2 OS irons while the prior period net sales primarily resulted from the Original Idea irons and integrated iron sets.

Net sales of fairway woods increased to $12.5 million, or 19.9% of total net sales, from $12.4 million, or 26.4% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This period's net sales were generated from RPM Low Profile fairway woods and Idea A2 and A2, A2 OS and Original Idea I-woods.  The prior period's net sales were generated from RPM Ti and stainless steel fairway woods, Ovation fairway woods, Idea I-woods and Original Tight Lies fairway woods.

We are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 25% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Of these, two customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales and no customers represented greater than 10% of net sales.  Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.

Net sales of our products outside the U.S. increased to $11.2 million, or 17.8% of total net sales, from $6.6 million, or 14.2% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Net sales resulting from countries outside the U.S. excluding Canada increased to 6.4% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2.9% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Cost of goods sold increased to $35.0 million, or 55.5% of total net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $24.7 million, or 52.9% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2005.  The increase as a percentage of total net sales is primarily due to changes in the product mix, coupled with decreases in fairway wood and driver net pricing and increases in some component pricing and other inventory related costs.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $13.4 million for the comparable period in 2005.  The increase is primarily the result of additional commission expense of $1.2 million as a result of the increased net sales during the period.  In addition, advertising and promotional expense increased $0.4 million as a result of our support of the newly launched Idea A2 and A2 OS irons and RPM Low Profile fairway woods and an increase in tour player expenses of $0.3 million.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase is a result of $0.3 million of bad debt expense resulting from our continued efforts to maintain adequate reserves for Accounts Receivable.

Research and development expenses, primarily consisting of costs associated with development of new products, increased to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2005.

Settlement expense was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a reversal of expense of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reversal settlement expense in 2005 was a result of the reversal of the accrued expenses for the settlement agreement that was reached with Mr. Nick Faldo in regards to the dispute regarding provisions of his prior professional services agreement with Adams Golf.  Since Mr. Faldo did not perform the minimum requirements of his contract, the Company is no longer due to make any future payments under that agreement.

Other income decreased to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2005 which is attributable to our one time receipt of a $965 thousand insurance claim paid by our insurance carrier in connection with an embezzlement which occured during the period from 2001 through 2004.  This event was disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Our inventory balances were approximately $22.9 million and $16.2 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  The increase in inventory levels is primarily a result of the increased purchasing related to the newly released A2 and A2 OS iron sets launched in the third quarter of 2005 and Idea Pro Irons launched in the third quarter of 2006.

Our net accounts receivable balances were approximately $13.9 million and $14.2 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to the seasonality of the business, as a large portion of sales are generated in the first and second quarters of the year and collected thereafter.

Our accounts payable balances were approximately $7.2 million and $4.7 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  The increase in accounts payable is primarily associated with increases in inventory purchases associated with the recent product launch of the Idea A2 and A2 OS irons and Idea Pro irons.

Our accrued liabilities balances were approximately $6.3 million and $7.3 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  The decrease in accrued liabilities is primarily associated with the reduced levels of inventory in transit at September 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $11.7 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $10.7 million at December 31, 2005.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 inventory increased $6.7 million.   These increases were partially offset with a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.3 million and an increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable of $1.6 million.

In February 2006, we signed a revolving credit agreement with Bank of Texas to provide up to $10.0 million in short term debt.  The agreement is collateralized by all of our assets and requires, among other things, us to maintain certain financial performance levels relative to the cash flow leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, but only when we have an outstanding balance on the facility.  Interest on outstanding balances varies depending on the portion of the line that is used and accrues at a rate from prime less one percent to prime and is due quarterly.  As of November 3, 2006, we have no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility.  

Working capital increased at September 30, 2006 to $35.7 million compared to $29.9 million at December 31, 2005.   Approximately 28% of our current assets are comprised of accounts receivable at September 30, 2006.  Due to industry sensitivity to consumer buying trends and available disposable income, we have in the past extended payment terms for specific purchase transactions.  Issuance of these terms (i.e. greater than 30 days or specific dating) is dependent on our relationship with the customer and the customer's payment history.  Payment terms are extended to selected customers typically during off-peak times in the year in order to promote our brand name and to assure adequate product availability, often to coincide with planned promotions or advertising campaigns.  Although a significant amount of our sales are not affected by these terms, the extended terms do have a negative impact on our financial position and liquidity.  We expect to con tinue to selectively offer extended payment terms in the future, depending upon known industry trends and our financial condition.  We generate cash flow from operations primarily by collecting outstanding trade receivables.  Because we have limited cash reserves, if collections of a significant portion of trade receivables are unexpectedly delayed, we would have a limited amount of funds available to further expand production until such time as we could collect a significant portion of the trade receivables.  If our cash needs in the near term exceed the available cash and cash equivalents on hand and the available borrowing under the credit facility, we would be required to obtain additional financing or limit expenditures to the extent of available cash on hand, all of which could significantly adversely effect our current growth plans and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.

Our anticipated sources of liquidity over the next twelve months are expected to be cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations, and available borrowings under our credit facility.  We anticipate that operating cash flows and current cash reserves will also fund capital expenditure programs.  These capital expenditure programs can be suspended or delayed at any time with minimal disruption to our operations if cash is needed in other areas of our operations.  In addition, cash flows from operations and cash reserves will be used to support ongoing purchases of component parts for our current and future product lines.  The expected operating cash flow, current cash reserves and borrowings available under our credit facility are expected to allow us to meet working capital requirements during periods of low cash flows resulting from the seasonality of the industry.

Management believes that sufficient resources will be available to meet our cash requirements through the next twelve months.  Cash requirements beyond twelve months are dependent on our ability to introduce products that gain market acceptance and to manage working capital requirements.  We have introduced new products and taken steps to increase the market acceptance of these and our other products.  If our products fail to achieve appropriate levels of market acceptance, it is possible that we may have to raise additional capital and/or further reduce our operating expenses including further operational restructurings.  If we need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the stockholders of our Company would be reduced, stockholders could experience additional dilution, or such equity securities could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.  Nevertheless, given the current m arket price of our common stock and the state of the capital markets generally, we do not expect that we will be able to raise funds through the issuance of our capital stock in the foreseeable future.  We may also find it difficult to secure additional debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all.  Accordingly, it is possible that our only sources of funding will be current cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations and up to $10.0 million of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.

If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue operations; develop, enhance and market products; retain qualified personnel; take advantage of future opportunities; or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Introduction

"Disclosure Controls and Procedures" are defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15 (e) as the controls and procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified by the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

"Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d -15(f) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by an issuer's board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of an issuer; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

We have endeavored to design our Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting to provide reasonable assurances that our objectives will be met.  All control systems are subject to inherent limitations, such as resource constraints, the possibility of human error, lack of knowledge or awareness, and the possibility of intentional circumvention of these controls.  Furthermore, the design of any control system is based, in part, upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, which assumptions may ultimately prove to be incorrect.  As a result, no assurances can be made that our control system will detect every error or instance of fraudulent conduct, including an error or instance of fraudulent conduct, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations or results.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.   Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within our Company, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective.  There were no changes to our Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

In addition, it is our policy to not participate in off-balance sheet transactions, including but not limited to special purpose entities.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Beginning in June 1999, the first of seven class action lawsuits was filed against us, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the three underwriters of our initial public offering ("IPO") in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware.  The complaints alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with our IPO.  In particular, the complaints alleged that our prospectus, which became effective July 9, 1998, was materially false and misleading in at least two areas.  Plaintiffs alleged that the prospectus failed to disclose that unauthorized distribution of our products (gray market sales) threatened our long-term profits. Plaintiffs also alleged that the prospectus failed to disclose that the golf equipment industry suffered from an oversupply of inventory at the retail level, which had an adverse impact on our sales.  On May 17, 2000, these cases were consolidated into one amended complaint, and a lead plaintiff was appointed.  The plaintiffs were seeking unspecified amounts of compensatory damages, interest and costs, including legal fees.  On December 10, 2001, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware dismissed the consolidated, amended complaint.  Plaintiffs appealed.  On August 25, 2004, the appellate court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs' claims relating to oversupply of retail inventory, while reversing the dismissal of the claims relating to the impact of gray market sales and remanding those claims for further proceedings.  On August 3, 2005, the district court certified a class of section 11 claimants, but shortened the proposed class period to end on October 22, 1998, and declined to certify a section 12(a)(2) class against the Adams Golf defendants.  On September 1, 2005, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint, which was granted on January 24, 2006.    Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint ("SAC"), which the District Court granted in part and denied in part on April 10, 2006.  Now, in addition to the gray-market sales claim, the SAC alleges that the prospectus failed to disclose that we engaged in questionable sales practices (including double shipping and unlimited rights of return), which threatened post-IPO financial results.   Fact discovery closed on June 30, 2006.  Trial is currently set for June 18, 2007.

We maintain directors' and officers' and corporate liability insurance to cover certain risks associated with these securities claims filed against us or our directors and officers.  During the period covering the class action lawsuit, we maintained insurance from multiple carriers, each insuring a different layer of exposure, up to a total of $50 million.  In addition, we have met the financial deductible of our directors' and officers' insurance policy for the period covering the time the class action lawsuit was filed.  Specifically, Zurich American Insurance Company provided insurance coverage totaling $5 million for the layer of exposure between $15 million and $20 million.  On March 30, 2006, Zurich American Insurance Company notified us that it was denying coverage due to the fact that it was allegedly not timely notified of the class action lawsuit.  We are currently assessing whether Zurich's denial of coverage is appropriate and the effect, if a ny, the denial has on insurance coverage for the layers of exposure exceeding $20 million.  At this point in the legal proceedings, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of the matter, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus can not reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.  

The underwriters for the IPO are also defendants in the securities class action.  The underwriting agreement that we entered into with the underwriters in connection with the IPO contains an indemnification clause, providing for indemnification against any loss, including defense costs, arising out of the IPO.  After the first lawsuit was filed, the underwriters requested indemnification under the agreement.  Our D&O insurance policy included an endorsement providing $1 million to cover indemnification of the underwriters.  Our D&O insurer has notified the underwriters of the exhaustion of the $1 million sublimit.  We believe that the $1 million payment under the insurance policy satisfies our indemnification obligation, or alternatively, that there are reasons why the Company may not have any further indemnification obligations.  We are in negotiations with the underwriters, and if necessary, may dispute any further requests for indemnifica tion.  At this point, we cannot predict with any certainty, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus cannot reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

On March 16, 2006, we became aware of a lawsuit filed against us in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of California by TaylorMade, a division of Adidas-Salomon AG.  The lawsuit alleges generally that we violated three patents held by TaylorMade (one design patent and two utility patents) in the manufacture of drivers.  We have engaged in settlement negotiations with TaylorMade with the common goal of finalizing the settlement agreement by the end of December 2006.

From time to time, we are engaged in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have included in Part I, 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could have an affect on our business, future performance, or financial condition.  We have evaluated our current risk factors and report the following additional risk factor:

Risks of  Adequate Insurance Coverage

The Company invests in various insurance policies to cover different aspects of our business, including but not limited to, Property, Commercial Liability, Workers Compensation, Business Interruption, Foreign Liabilities, Auto, Crime, Employment Practices and Directors and Officers Insurance.  Although the Company obtains various insurance policies, unforeseen situations or events may arise that could limit the amount or types of insurance coverage.  

Currently, we have potential exposure in our Directors and Officers insurance policy covering the time period of the class action lawsuit, where our third layer of coverage for the $5 million layer between $15 million and $20 million is currently being denied by Zurich, as they claim that we did not notify them timely in the class action lawsuit.  In addition, there is potential that Zurich's denial of coverage could adversely affect the coverage layers exceeding the $20 million level.  Additionally, our Directors and Officers insurance policy covering the time period of the class action lawsuit has an endorsement that limits the defense costs covered under the policy for the underwriters of the IPO to $1 million, and at this time the underwriters' attorneys have exhausted this $1 million sublimit.  To the extent that our Company is liable for any material amounts denied under or in excess of our Directors and Officer's insurance, or any other insurance policy for that matter, it could have a material effect on our business and our results of operations.

    1. Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
    2. Acceptance of Premises. Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant's intended purposes. Except as provided in Paragraph 10, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation on its use. The taking of possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for items that are Landlord's responsibility under Paragraph 10 and any punchlist items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
    3. Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but limited to wholesale sales) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto; provided, however, with Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant may also use the Premises for light manufacturing. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or any tenants of the Project . Outside storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use and occupy the Premises in compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, "Legal Requirements"). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or without the Premises, that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant's or Landlord's insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant's use or occupation of the Premises, or because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Any occupation of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
    4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth above. The first month's Base Rent, the Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be due and payable on the date hereof, and Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by check or Electronic Fund Transfer ("EFT") of immediately available federal funds before 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at such place, within the continental United States, as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or of estimated Operating Expenses for more than 5 business days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to 8 five (5) percent of such delinquent sum. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty, provided however, Tenant shall be allowed one (1) grace period per year.
    5. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord's obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee; no interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Lan dlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this Paragraph 5.
    6. Operating Expense Payments. During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant's Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the Project. Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The term "Operating Expenses" means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project including, but not limited to costs of: Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes; insurance; utilities; maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, roofs (including the roof membrane), alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, snow removal, exterior painting, utility lines, heating, ventila tion and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; property management fees payable to a property manager, including any affiliate of Landlord, or if there is no property manager, an administration fee of 15 percent of Operating Expenses payable to Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate to the continued operation of the Project or the Building as a bulk warehouse facility in the market area, provided that the cost of additions or alterations that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes shall be am ortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the lesser of the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes or 10 years. Operating Expenses do not include costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for capital repairs and capital replacements required to be made by Landlord under Paragraph 10 of this Lease, debt service under mortgages or ground rent under ground leases, costs of restoration to the extent of net insurance proceeds received by Landlord with respect thereto, leasing commissions, or the costs of renovating space for tenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will reimburse Tenant any overpayment of Operating Expenses from the prior year within a reasonable time following final year-end reconciliations.
    7. If Tenant's total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within 30 days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant's next payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in default under the current Lease, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for any overpayment of Operating Expenses from prior year within a reasonable time following final year-end reconciliations. For purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year except the first year, which shall begin on the Commencement Date, and the last year, which shall end on the expiration of this Lease. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the entire Project, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shal l be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only to the Building, Tenant's "Proportionate Share" shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Building as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant's Proportionate Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project or Building that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises set forth on the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate.

    8. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord may cause at Tenant's expense any utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Tenant shall pay its share of all charges for jointly metered utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the termination of this Lease or the abatement of rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer for normal restroom use.
    9. Taxes. Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (collectively referred to as "Taxes") that accrue against the Project during the Lease Term, which shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.
    10. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, commercial liability insurance and rent loss insurance. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. The Project or Building may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project or Building will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer's cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises.
    11. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term: all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense; worker's compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer's liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and commercial liability insurance, with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and a minimum umbrella limit of $1,000,000, for a total minimum combined general liability and umbrella limit of $2,000,000 (together with such additional umbrella coverage as Landlord may reasonably require) for property damage, personal injuries, or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Premises. Landlord may from time to time require reasonable increases in any such limits. The commercial liability policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured, insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis, be issued by insur ance companies which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, not be cancelable unless 30 days' prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord, contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant's policies). Such policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Lease Term and upon each renewal of said insurance.

      The all risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tena nt or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

    12. Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, the structural soundness of the roof, foundation, and exterior walls of the Building in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded. The term "walls" as used in this Paragraph 10 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 10, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair.
    13. Tenant's Repairs. Landlord, at Tenant's expense as provided in Paragraph 6, shall maintain in good repair and condition the parking areas and other common areas of the Building, including, but not limited to driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds surrounding the Premises. Subject to Landlord's obligation in Paragraph 10 and subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors, plumbing, water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Such repair and replacements include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Heating, v entilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical and building systems serving the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant's expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant or, at Landlord's election, by Landlord. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall enter into a joint maintenance agreement with any railroad that services the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefore. Subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees and any repair that benefits only the Premises. (See Addendum 2.)
    14. Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises ("Tenant-Made Alterations") shall be subject to Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall construct at its expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Tenant-Made Alterations. All Tenant-Made Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Tenant-Made Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its costs in reviewing plans and specifications and in monitoring construction. Landlord's right to revie w plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens and shall provide certificates of insurance for worker's compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord sworn statements se tting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises, all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord's property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal at Tenant's expense of any such items or Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing in connection with Landlord's consent to any Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal.
    15. Tenant, at its own cost and expense and without Landlord's prior approval, may erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively "Trade Fixtures") in the ordinary course of its business provided that such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises, do not overload or damage the Premises, and may be removed without injury to the Premises, and the construction, erection, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements and with Landlord's requirements set forth above. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such removal.

    16. Signs. Tenant shall not make any changes to the exterior of the Premises, install any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, or painting, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent. Upon surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall have removed all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface to which its signs are attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for sign and exterior treatments. All signs, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or bars or other security installations visible from outside the Premises shall be subject to Landlord's approval and conform in all respects to Landlord's requirements.
    17. Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to park in common with other tenants of the Project in those areas designated for nonreserved parking. Landlord may allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants in the Project if Landlord determines that such parking facilities are becoming crowded. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's parking rights against any third parties.
    18. Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord's notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease or if Landlord estimates that restoration will take 6 months or less, then, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid by Tenant, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events. Tenant at Tenant's expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage. Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.
    19. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a "Taking" or "Taken"), and the Taking would prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or in Landlord's judgment would materially interfere with or impair its ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to La ndlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord's award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant's Trade Fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.
    20. Assignment and Subletting. Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. For purposes of this paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a "Tenant Affiliate"), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any assignment or sublease. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice of a desire to assign or s ublet the Premises, or any part thereof (other than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant's notice, as of the date specified in Tenant's notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease.
    21. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord's approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder all such excess rental and other excess consideration within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant.

      If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in part) or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant's leasehold interest or grant of any concession or license within the Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligati ons hereunder.

    22. Indemnification. Except for the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and Landlord's agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 18.
    23. Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose. Landlord and Landlord's representatives may enter the Premises during business hours for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate common areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially interferes with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easeme nts, dedications or restrictions.
    24. Quiet Enjoyment. If Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Lease Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.
    25. Surrender. Upon termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 15 and 16 excepted. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord's retention and disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Lease Term shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Operating Expenses and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.
    26. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) shall be applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to double 150% of the Base Rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over. All other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent o f Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph 22 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph 22, "possession of the Premises" shall continue until, among other things, Tenant has delivered all keys to the Premises to Landlord, Landlord has complete and total dominion and control over the Premises, and Tenant has completely fulfilled all obligations required of it upon termination of the Lease as set forth in this Lease, including, without limitation, those concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.
    27. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default ("Event of Default") by Tenant under this Lease:

    1. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 business days from the date such payment was due, provided however, Tenant shall be allowed one (1) grace period per year.
    2. Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a "proceeding for relief"); (C) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).
    3. Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease.
    4. Tenant shall not occupy or shall vacate the Premises or shall fail to continuously operate its business at the Premises for the permitted use set forth herein, whether or not Tenant is in monetary or other default under this Lease.
    5. Tenant shall attempt or there shall occur any assignment, subleasing or other transfer of Tenant's interest in or with respect to this Lease except as otherwise permitted in this Lease.
    6. Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within 30 days after any such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises.
    7. Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph 23, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such default.

    1. Landlord's Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time thereafter at its election: terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided) and/or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right of possession, it shall be lawful for Landlord, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises.
    2. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of: all Base Rent and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Premises, including without limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing Tenant's or any other occupant's property, repairing, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and the excess of the then present value of the Base Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease as would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period following the termination of this Lease measured from the date of such termination to the expiration date stated in this Lease, over the present value of a ny net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the date of such termination.

      If Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possession (but not this Lease), Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting [after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom] to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due from time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

      Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter as provided for in any statute, or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms "enter," "re-enter," "entry" or "re-entry," as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different t han the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting.

    3. Tenant's Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term "Landlord" in this Lease shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupo n be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord.
    4. Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.
    5. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant's interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord attorney in fact for Tenant irrevocably (such power of attorney being coupled with an interest) to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument and instruments for and in the name of the Tenant and to cause any such instrument t o be recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such holder. The term "mortgage" whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the "holder" of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.
    6. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in, the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord in the Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within 30 days of the filing or recording thereof; provided, however, Tenant may contest such liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the lien or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be bonded or insured over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord within such 30 day period.
    7. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, from time to time, within 10 days after request of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord's designee, any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or specifying in detail the nature of Landlord's default), the termination date of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant's obligation to furnish each estoppel certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord's execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant's obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney in fact to execute on its behalf and in its name any such estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to execute and deliver the estoppel certificate wi thin 10 days after Landlord's written request thereof.
    8. Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Material contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees. Tenant shall complete and certify to disclosure statements as requested by Landlord from time to time relating to Tenant's transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term "Environmental Requiremen ts" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquified natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and s hall be deemed to be the "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.
    9. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, consultant fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph 30, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or any other breach of the requirements under this Paragra ph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive any termination of this Lease.

      Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant's compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph 30, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord upon Landlord's prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant's operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord's expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant.

    10. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto. In the event of any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project.
    11. Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may patrol the Project, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.
    12. Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be held responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, delay in issuance of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord ("Force Majeure").
    13. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord or Tenant, or anyone acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, which are not contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
    14. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
    15. Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the broker, if any, set forth on the first page of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction.
    16. Miscellaneous. (a) Any payments or charges due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be considered rent for all purposes of this Lease.

    1. If and when included within the term "Tenant," as used in this instrument, there is more than one person, firm or corporation, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Tenant.
    2. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable national overnight courier service, postage prepaid, or by hand delivery addressed to the parties at their addresses below, and with a copy sent to Landlord at 4545 Airport Way, Denver, Colorado 80239. Either party may by notice given aforesaid change its address for all subsequent notices. Except where otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, notice shall be deemed given upon delivery.
    3. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or as otherwise required by law, Landlord retains the absolute right to withhold any consent or approval.
    4. At Landlord's request from time to time Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and complete copies of its most recent annual and quarterly financial statements prepared by Tenant or Tenant's accountants and any other financial information or summaries that Tenant typically provides to its lenders or shareholders.
    5. Neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant in any public record. Landlord may prepare and file, and upon request by Landlord Tenant will execute, a memorandum of lease.
    6. Intentionally Deleted. The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
    7. The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties.
    8. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.
    9. Any amount not paid by Tenant within 5 business days after its due date in accordance with the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from such due date until paid in full at the lesser of the highest rate permitted by applicable law or 15 percent per year (does not apply to grace period). It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease.  If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord's and Tenant's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.
    10. Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Project is located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws.
    11. Time is of the essence as to the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
    12. All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.

(n) In the event either party hereto initiates litigation to enforce the terms and provisions of this Lease, the non-prevailing party in such action shall reimburse the prevailing party for its reasonable attorney's fees, filing fees, and court costs.

    1. Landlord's Lien/Security Interest. Tenant hereby grants Landlord a security interest, and this Lease constitutes a security agreement, within the meaning of and pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Premises are situated as to all of Tenant's property situated in, or upon, or used in connection with the Premises (except merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business) as security for all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay rent. Such personalty thus encumbered includes specifically all trade and other fixtures for the purpose of this Paragraph and inventory, equipment, contract rights, accounts receivable and the proceeds thereof. In order to perfect such security interest, Tenant shall execute such financing statements and file the same at Tenant's expense at the state and county Uniform Commercial Code filing offices as often as Landlord in its discretion shall require; and Tenant hereby irr evocably appoints Landlord its agent for the purpose of executing and filing such financing statements on Tenant's behalf as Landlord shall deem necessary.
    2. Limitation of Liability of Trustees, Shareholders, and Officers of ProLogis. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust, which may arise at any time under this Lease or any obligation or liability which may be incurred by it pursuant to any other instrument, transaction, or undertaking contemplated hereby shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to the property of, its trustees, directors, shareholders, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort, or otherwise.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

ADDENDUM 4

CONSTRUCTION

(TURNKEY)

ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

DATED , BETWEEN

MDN / JSC - II Limited

and

Adams Golf, Ltd.

 

    1. Landlord agrees to furnish or perform at Landlord's sole cost and expense those items of construction and those improvements (the "Initial Improvements") specified below:

    • One (1) ramp to warehouse
    • Two (2) cased openings from office area to warehouse

Landlord may collect a construction management fee, payable by Tenant within 30 days following receipt of Landlord's invoice from time to time throughout the period of construction of the Initial Improvements, which such fee shall be calculated based upon the scope of work of the Initial Improvements as described herein, taking into account costs generally payable for similar services within the market area in which the Project is located.

(b) If Tenant shall desire any changes, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord shall determine whether such changes can be made in a reasonable and feasible manner. Any and all costs of reviewing any requested changes, and any and all costs of making any changes to the Initial Improvements which Tenant may request and which Landlord may agree to shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall be paid to Landlord upon demand and before execution of the change order.

(c) Landlord shall proceed with and complete the construction of the Initial Improvements. As soon as such improvements have been Substantially Completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the date that the Initial Improvements were Substantially Completed. Such date, unless an earlier date is specified as the Commencement Date in this Lease or otherwise agreed to in writing between Landlord and Tenant, shall be the "Commencement Date," unless the completion of such improvements was delayed due to any act or omission of, or delay caused by, Tenant including, without limitation, Tenant's failure to approve plans, complete submittals or obtain permits within the time periods agreed to by the parties or as reasonably required by Landlord, in which case the Commencement Date shall be the date such improvements would have been completed but for the delays caused by Tenant. The Initial Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed ("Substantially Completed") when, in the opinion of the construction manager (whether an employee or agent of Landlord or a third party construction manager) ("Construction Manager"), the Premises are substantially completed except for punch list items which do not prevent in any material way the use of the Premises for the purposes for which they were intended. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents, or contractors cause construction of such improvements to be delayed, the date of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to be the date that, in the opinion of the Construction Manager, Substantial Completion would have occurred if such delays had not taken place. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for delays caused by Tenant's request for any changes in the plans, Tenant's request for long lead items or Tenant's interference with the construction of the Initial Improvements, and such delays shall not cause a deferral of the Commencement Date beyond what it otherwise would have been. After the Commencement Date Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises. In the event of any dispute as to the Initial Improvements, including the Commencement Date, the certificate of the Construction Manager shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of rent by Tenant. Subject to applicable ordinances and building codes governing Tenant's right to occupy or perform in the Premises, Tenant shall be allowed to install its tenant improvements, machinery, equipment, fixtures, or other property on the Premises during the final stages of completion of construction provided that Tenant does not thereby interfere with the completion of construction or cause any labor dispute as a result of such installations, and provided further that Tenant does hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any loss or damage to such property, and all liability, loss, or damage arising from any injury to the Project or the property of Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen, and any death or personal injury to any person or persons arising out of such installations, unless any such loss, damage, liability, death, or personal injury was caused by Landlord's negligence. Any such occupancy or performance in the Premises shall be in accordance with the provisions governing Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures in the Lease, and shall be subject to Tenant providing to Landlord satisfactory evidence of insurance for personal injury and property damage related to such installations and satisfactory payment arrangements with respect to installations permitted hereunder. Delay in putting Tenant in possession of the Premises shall not serve to extend the term of this Lease or to make Landlord liable for any damages arising therefrom.

DATED , BETWEEN

MDN / JSC - II Limited

and

Adams Golf, Ltd.

    1. Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the Extension Term, (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (y) Tenant actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (z) no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of years (such additional term is hereinafter called the "Extension Term") commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the "Commencement Date of the Extension Term"). Tenant shall give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the "Extension Notice") of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least months, but not more than months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.
    2. The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extension Term shall be the greater of (i) the Base Rent applicable to the last year of the initial Lease term and (ii) the then prevailing market rate for comparable space in the Project and comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Project, taking into account the size of the Lease, the length of the renewal term, market escalations and the credit of Tenant. The Base Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord's not having to find a new tenant for such premises (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, costs of improvements, rent concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy period). In the event Landlord and Tenant fail to reach an agreement on such rental rate and execute the Amendment (defined below) at least months prior to the expiration of the Lease, then Tenant's exercise of the renewal option shall be deemed withdrawn and the Lease shall ter minate on its original expiration date.
    3. The determination of Base Rent does not reduce the Tenant's obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for Operating Expenses and other reimbursable items as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse and pay Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Operating Expenses and other items with respect to the Premises during the Extension Term without regard to any cap on such expenses set forth in the Lease.
    4. Except for the Base Rent as determined above, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.
    5. If Tenant does not give the Extension Notice within the period set forth in paragraph (a) above, Tenant's right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the Extension Notice.
    6. Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the Extension Term in "as-is" condition.
    7. If the Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto (the "Amendment").
    8. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term "Lease Term" as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the Extension Term except as provided in (d) above.
