PART I
ITEM 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
     Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lifeline Therapeutics”) markets Protandim®, a patent-pending dietary supplement that is intended to increase the body’s natural antioxidant protection by inducing two protective enzymes, superoxide dismustase and catalase. Our principal place of business is at 6400 South Fiddler’s Green Circle, Suite 1970, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, telephone (720) 478-1711, fax (720) 488-1722.
Our Product
     Protandim®, which is currently our only product, is a proprietary blend of ingredients that has demonstrated the ability to induce two protective enzymes, superoxide dismutase (“SOD”) and catalase (“CAT”), in the brain, liver, and blood. Protandim® is intended to combat oxidative stress to the human body by producing SOD and CAT. Oxidative stress refers to the cellular and tissue damage caused by chemically reactive oxygen radicals formed as a natural consequence of cellular metabolism. Oxidative stress is widely believed to play a key role in the aging process, and the body’s defenses against oxidative stress and free radicals decrease with age.
     Reactive oxygen species (“ROS”) and free radicals can be elevated under a wide variety of conditions, including radiation, UV light, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medical conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes, and advancing age. Normally, cellular anti-oxidant enzymes serve to inactivate ROS and maintain their levels at those compatible with normal cell function. Important among these enzymes are SOD and CAT. However, the levels of these protective anti-oxidant enzymes decrease with age and are reduced in a number of disease conditions.
     SOD is the body’s most effective natural anti-oxidant. SOD works in conjunction with CAT. A by-product of SOD’s potent anti-oxidant activity is hydrogen peroxide, a dangerous substance that needs to be subsequently converted into water and oxygen by CAT. Together, these enzymes constitute the first line of defense and repair for the body. However, unlike Protandim®, current SOD and CAT oral supplements can neither be absorbed by the human body nor work in conjunction with each other in one safe, orally-available pill.
     Protandim® is designed to induce the body to produce more of its own anti-oxidant enzymes and to decrease the process of lipid peroxidation, an indicator of oxidative stress. Each component of Protandim® has been selected for its ability to meet these criteria. The Protandim® formulation includes low, safe doses of each component which is intended to prevent unwanted side effects that might be associated with one or another of the components individually.
     Protandim’s® ability to produce SOD and CAT has been demonstrated through studies on animals and humans. The name Protandim® is derived from: “promoting the tandem” co-regulation of SOD and CAT. Protandim® and the intellectual property related to its development are owned by our subsidiary, Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (“Lifeline Nutraceuticals” or “LNC”).

Our Business Model
     The primary operational components of our business, including the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of Protandim®, are outsourced to companies we believe possess a high degree of professionalism and achievement in their particular fields. By outsourcing these operational tasks, we hope to tie our costs closely to our level of product sales and avoid the relatively high costs of building our own infrastructure. We also believe our approach minimizes the need for a large manufacturing workforce or sales staff by permitting us to monitor and manage the operational components of our manufacturing, marketing and distribution providers. Outsourcing also provides additional production capacity that is available to us without significant advance notice, and often at lower prices than if we added production in house.
     Manufacturing. We have retained The Chemins Company of Colorado Springs, Colorado (“Chemins”) to produce Protandim® under a manufacturing agreement dated February 26, 2004 and amended January 17, 2005. The agreement with Chemins has a continuous term, but may be terminated by either party upon 90 days written notice. Under the agreement,
    Chemins has ordered and received the raw materials required for one million bottles of Protandim® and
 
    we have paid Chemins to acquire bottling and packaging materials, and to commence manufacturing 500,000 bottles of Protandim®.
 
    Chemins delivers product to us based on our purchase orders and additional payments. Through June 30, 2006, Chemins had shipped or delivered 289,000 bottles of Protandim® to our fulfillment center and retail distributor, General Nutrition Distribution, LP (“GNC”). As of June 30, 2006, an additional 211,000 bottles remain to be shipped from the initial 500,000-bottle order.
Through June 30, 2006, we paid Chemins approximately $1,800,000 for delivered product, which includes the deposit for the purchase of raw and packaging materials for a total of one million bottles of Protandim®. We will pay Chemins an additional $800,000 for the remaining product.
     Chemins has significant experience in manufacturing dietary supplements. Its plant complies with the cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) for foods in general. Currently there are no specific cGMPs for dietary supplements. While we currently have a contract with Chemins in place, we cannot assure you that this manufacturer will continue to supply our product to us in the quantities we require, or at all.
     Marketing. We market Protandim® through print and radio media advertising as well as electronic marketing efforts. In June 2005, the Company and Protandim® were discussed on a nationally-televised news program. We also regularly train and educate customer service representatives to correctly and appropriately represent the product to consumers.
     The AND Group, a strategic consultancy firm, was engaged to lead the development of Protandim®‘s brand platform and consumer messaging hierarchy to include: structure/function statement, product description, core product benefits, and proof points.
     LeGrand Hart was retained as Protandim®‘s public relations firm with assignments including developing a strategic and tactical public relations plan, refining core messaging for public relations applications, aggregating media coverage of relevant issues and competitive news, developing target media lists and outreach programs.

     Karsh + Hagan Communications, Inc. was retained as Protandim®‘s advertising agency of record. Karsh’s scope of work included finalizing brand positioning and character, logo development, package design, media planning and buying, collateral material (i.e. Brochures) and advertising (i.e. print, radio, online) development.
     In addition to the marketing services that we outsource to these outside firms, we also have an internal sales/marketing group consisting of two full-time employees and an independent consultant.
     Sales. In July 2005, we entered into an agreement with General Nutrition Distribution, LP (“GNC”). Pursuant to our agreement with GNC, sales are made on a “sale or return” basis whereby product can be returned by GNC customers for a full refund. Since we do not have sufficient history with GNC to reasonably estimate the rate of product returns, we have deferred all revenue and costs related to these retail shipments. Through June 30, 2006, this deferred revenue has totaled $1,144,950. The Company will recognize the deferred revenue from this sales channel and its related costs when it obtains sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amount of future returns from the retail channel.
     In addition to sales through our retail distributors, we also sell Protandim® directly to individuals through our product website (www.protandim.com) and a call center utilizing a toll-free number (1-8PROTANDIM or 1-877-682-6346). The toll-free number is answered by Convergys, Inc. (“Convergys”), with which we have contracted to provide call center services. Convergys will answer sales calls for us on an around-the-clock basis. Customer service calls to another toll-free number (1-877-488-1711) are answered in our offices in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Our employees are available to respond to our customers’ needs, answer questions, track packages, provide refunds, if necessary, and process sales orders. Our website and the call center direct shipping orders to United Parcel Service (“UPS”), our fulfillment center. UPS offers package tracking by toll-free number or online so that our customers or our customer service department can determine the status of a shipment.
Research and Development
     Our research efforts to date have focused on investigating various aspects and consequences of the “imbalance of oxidants and anti-oxidants,” an abnormality which is an underlying feature in many disorders. We intend to continue our research, development, and documentation of Protandim® to provide credibility to the market. We also anticipate undertaking research, development, testing, and licensing efforts to be able to introduce additional products under the Protandim® brand name in the future. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in this endeavor. Product research and development expenses were approximately $114,200 and $37,900 for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The U.S. Dietary Supplement Market
     According to the Nutrition Business Journal, the U.S. supplement market was estimated to be over $21 billion in 2005 as reflected in the following charts:

      We believe that the growth in this market is driven by a number of factors including:
 
    increased awareness of the health benefits of dietary supplements;
 
    a trend toward preventive health care;
 
    an increase in the number of older Americans; and
 
    health care consumers’ interest in managing their own health needs.
Target Market
     Our primary target markets for Protandim® are the 1) health and wellness markets and 2) elderly populations. We are marketing Protandim® in the United States in media targeted toward these age groups. We plan to test specific targeted messages within younger market segments. Demographically, the more specific initial segments within these age categories would include higher-educated, higher-income individuals that already espouse a healthy lifestyle and have some attributes of consumers concerned about their wellness. With increased awareness and media

support, we believe the demographic appeal can be broadened to more mainstream consumers and persons within lower socio-economic strata.
Competition
     Although we believe that Protandim® reflects a unique product in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, there are a number of potential competitors to Protandim®.
     Vitamin C, vitamin E, Coenzyme Q-10 and other sources of exogenous anti-oxidants are often considered competitors of Protandim®. We believe these substances should not be considered competitors because they are oxygen radical scavengers, and are not enzymatic, meaning that they do not work within the cells of the human body. Our research indicates that Protandim® generates intra-cellular anti-oxidants, such as SOD and CAT, within the cells of the body. We believe that the body’s internal anti-oxidant enzymes, produced at homeostatic levels, provide a better defense against oxidative stress than exogenous sources of anti-oxidants.
     There are many companies performing research into anti-oxidants, and these companies are intensely competitive. At least one entity is currently marketing a direct competitor to Protandim®, and it is highly likely that one or more additional entities will develop, purchase, or license from a third party, competitive products along the lines of our focus. Thus, we expect that we will be subject to significant competition that will intensify as these markets develop.
     Many of our actual and potential competitors have longer operating histories and possess greater name recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. As the dietary supplement industry grows and changes, retailers may align themselves with larger suppliers who may be more financially stable, market a broad portfolio of products or offer better customer service. Competition with companies of this nature could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Product Liability and Other Insurance
     We have product liability insurance coverage for our Protandim® product that we believe is adequate to protect us. We have also obtained commercial property and liability coverage, as well as directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Intellectual Property, Patents, and Royalty Agreements
     Protandim® is a proprietary, patent-pending dietary supplement formulation for enhancing SOD and CAT. The patent applications protecting this formulation are listed below and have been assigned to our subsidiary, LNC.
     We will protect our intellectual property and license rights through patent protection, trade secrets and contractual protections and intend to develop a strong brand identity in the Protandim® mark. Although we do not currently license our intellectual property to any third parties, we may choose to provide such licensing arrangements in the future to provide a potential new revenue source.
     Our intellectual property is covered, in part, by three U.S. utility patent applications on file in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). A Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) International Patent Application is also on file. These patent applications claim the benefit of priority of seven U.S. provisional patent applications listed below and are directed to compositions, methods and methods of manufacture. The earliest filing date for this family is

Governmental Approval and Regulations
     The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling and advertising of Protandim® currently are subject to regulation by federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), and also by various federal, state and local agencies. In addition, the distribution and sale of Protandim® is subject to FDA, FTC and federal, state and local regulation. In particular, although the Company is not currently required to obtain FDA or FTC approval to sell Protandim®, the FDA, pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), which includes the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (“DSHEA”), primarily regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling of the product, while the FTC primarily regulates the advertising and marketing of the product.
     Protandim® is marketed as a “dietary supplement” as defined in the DSHEA. The DSHEA is intended to promote access to safe, quality dietary supplements and information about dietary supplements. The U.S. Congress has amended the FFDCA several times with respect to dietary supplements, in particular by the DSHEA. In 1994, the DSHEA established a new framework governing the composition and labeling of dietary supplements. With respect to composition, the DSHEA defined “dietary supplements” as including vitamins, minerals, herbs, other botanicals, amino acids, and other dietary substances for human use to supplement the diet, as well as concentrates, constituents, extracts, or combinations of such dietary ingredients. Under the DSHEA, a dietary supplement that contains a “new dietary ingredient” (defined as a dietary ingredient not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994) must have a history of human use or other evidence of safety establishing that it is “reasonably expected” by the manufacturer to be safe prior to marketing the product. The manufacturer of a dietary supplement must notify the FDA at least 75 days before marketing products containing new dietary ingredients and provide the FDA with the information upon which the manufacturer based its conclusion that the product has a reasonable expectation of safety. The FDA may not accept the evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredient, and the FDA’s refusal to accept such evidence could prevent the marketing of such dietary ingredients.
FDA Regulations Applicable to the Formulation, Manufacturing, Packaging and Labeling of Protandim®
     The DSHEA permits statements of nutritional support to be included in labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-approval. Such statements may describe how a particular dietary ingredient may affect the structure, function or general well-being of the body or the mechanism of action by which dietary ingredients affect the foregoing. Such statements may not state that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease unless such claim has been reviewed and approved by the FDA, either as a “health claim” or as a claim for an approved drug. A company that uses a statement of nutritional support in labeling must possess evidence substantiating that the statement is truthful and not misleading. The FDA may determine that a particular statement of nutritional support that a company wants to use is an illegal claim for an unapproved new drug or an unauthorized version of a health claim. Such a determination might prevent a company from making the claim.

Table of Contents

     The DSHEA also permits certain third-party literature, for example a reprint of a peer-reviewed scientific publication, to be used “in connection with the sale of a dietary supplement to consumers” without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. However, such literature must not be false or misleading, the literature may not promote a particular manufacturer or brand of dietary supplement and it must include a balanced view of the available scientific information on the subject matter, among other requirements. While we exercise care in the dissemination of all such third party literature about Protandim®, we cannot assure you that it would be found by the FDA to satisfy all of these requirements. If we fail to satisfy any of these applicable requirements, the FDA could prevent the use of certain literature and subject Protandim® to regulation as an unapproved new drug. We could also be subject to adverse actions by other third parties.
     We are subject to the risk that the FDA may take enforcement action against us for one or more violations of the FFDCA. We have to comply with the FFDCA, including the DSHEA, and all applicable FDA regulations. Any allegations of non-compliance may result in time-consuming and expensive defense of our activities. An enforcement action could include a warning letter that informs us of alleged violations, such as selling a misbranded product, an adulterated product, or an unapproved new drug. Although we would be entitled to take corrective action in response to any such warning letter, the fact that a warning letter had been issued to us from the FDA would be made available to the public. That information could affect our relationships with our investors, vendors and consumers. The FDA could also initiate many additional types of enforcement actions that would be far more detrimental to our business than the issuance of a warning letter, including actions for product seizure, inspection and/or criminal prosecution. Because we are not required to submit all product labeling to the FDA before we sell our dietary supplement, we cannot give any assurance that FDA enforcement action will not occur.
FTC Regulations applicable to the Advertising and Marketing of Protandim®
     Advertising and marketing of products is subject to regulation by the FTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”). Section 5 of the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. Section 12 of the FTC Act provides that disseminating any false advertisement pertaining to drugs or foods, which would include dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Under the FTC’s Substantiation Doctrine, an advertiser is required to have a “reasonable basis” for all express and implied product claims before the claims are made. Failure to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. Pursuant to this FTC requirement, we are required to have adequate substantiation for all material advertising claims made for our products. The FTC routinely reviews advertising and websites to identify significant questionable advertising claims and practices, and competitors often inform the FTC when they believe other competitors are violating the FTC Act. If the FTC initiates an investigation to determine the support for a claim, the FTC can initiate pre-complaint discovery that may be nonpublic in nature. Such an investigation may (i) be very expensive to defend, (ii) be lengthy, and (iii) result in one or more adverse rulings by a court, administrative law judge, or in a publicly disclosed consent decree.
     Our telemarketing activities must comply with the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR Part 310, and additional telemarketing and marketing statutes and regulations of the FTC and of states. Because these activities, in general, are in the public eye and because it may be difficult to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations by the individuals who actually make and receive such calls, there is a risk that we could be the subject of investigation and other

11


Table of Contents

enforcement activities that may be brought by the FTC and state agencies. We regularly train and educate telemarketing representatives to correctly and appropriately represent the product.
     In addition to federal regulation in the U. S., each state has enacted its own “Little FTC Act” to regulate sales and advertising and each state has enacted its own food and drug laws. We may receive requests to supply information regarding our sales or advertising to state regulatory agencies. We remain subject to the risk that, in one or more of our present or future markets, our products, sales, and advertising could be found not to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business in a particular market or in general. In addition, these laws and regulations could affect our ability to enter new markets.
The Bioterrorism Act
     In June 2002, Congress enacted the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the “Bioterrorism Act”). The Bioterrorism Act contained new requirements with regard to the sale and importation of food products in the United States:
  1.   Mandatory registration with the FDA of all food manufacturers.
 
  2.   Prior notice to regulators of inbound food shipments.
 
  3.   Recordkeeping requirements, and grant of access to the FDA of applicable records.
 
  4.   Grant of detention authority to the FDA of food products in certain circumstances.
     Under the recordkeeping requirements, Lifeline is considered to be a “nontransporter” of Protandim® and must maintain certain records required of nontransporters. Lifeline is in the process of ensuring that all appropriate records are being kept.
Potential FDA and Other Regulation
     We could become subject to additional laws or regulations administered by the FDA, FTC, or by other federal, state, or local regulatory authorities, to the repeal of laws or regulations that we consider favorable, such as the DSHEA, or to more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations. For example, the FDA is currently developing guidance for the industry to clarify the FDAs interpretation of the new dietary ingredient notification requirements, which may raise new and significant regulatory barriers for new dietary ingredients. In addition, increased FDA enforcement could lead the FDA to challenge dietary ingredients already on the market as illegal under the FFDCA because of the failure to file a new dietary ingredient notification.
     In addition, the FDA has proposed final good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) regulations for the dietary supplement industry. If finalized, the proposed GMPs would require quality control provisions that are equal to or greater than GMPs for drugs and over-the-counter products. These GMPs could result in increased expenses, changes to or discontinuance of products, or implementation of additional record keeping and administrative procedures. We cannot assure you that if the FDA adopts the GMPs in the form proposed, we will be able to comply with the new regulations without incurring significant costs.
     We are not able to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, repeals, or interpretations, and we cannot predict what effect additional governmental regulation, when and if it occurs, would have on our business in the future. Such developments could, however, require reformulation of products to meet new standards, recalls, or discontinuances of products not able

12

to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, additional personnel, or other new requirements. Any such developments could have a material adverse effect on us, including our financial condition or results of operations.
Employees
     As of June 30, 2006, we had 11 full-time employees, including two officers, leased through Administaff. We outsource our sales order call center, manufacturing, and distribution operations to minimize the number of employees.
History
     Lifeline Therapeutics was formed under Colorado law in June 1988 under the name Andraplex Corporation. We amended our name to Yaak River Resources, Inc. in January 1992, and to Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. in October 2004.
     On October 26, 2004, we acquired approximately 81% of the outstanding common stock of Lifeline Nutraceuticals, a privately held Colorado corporation that was formed in July 2003 (the “Reorganization”). In this Reorganization:
    We issued 15,385,110 shares of our Series A common stock (representing about 94% of our outstanding common stock after the Reorganization) to eleven persons in exchange for their ownership interest in LNC.
 
    We agreed to exchange $240,000 in new promissory notes for a like amount of convertible debt obligations of LNC.
 
    We agreed to exchange $559,000 in new promissory notes for a like amount of bridge loan note obligations of LNC.
     As a result of the Reorganization, Lifeline Therapeutics owned 81% of the outstanding common stock of LNC. In March 2005, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 19% minority shareholder interest in LNC in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our series A common stock. LNC owns and has developed the intellectual property that has resulted in the development of Protandim®.
ITEM 2 — DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Corporate Office
     In August 2005, we entered a 36-month lease for our current executive offices in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Pursuant to the agreement, we paid a $35,688 prepayment of rent for 5,736 square feet, and monthly rents of $9,560 from December 2005 through July 2006, $9,799 from August 2006 through July 2007, and $10,038 from August 2007 through July 2008. We also tendered a $30,144 security deposit that will be returned to us, in thirds, at the beginning of the 13th, 25th and at 36th months, provided we do not breach our covenants in the lease.

Warehouse Facility
     We have a warehouse facility agreement with UPS, pursuant to which we lease warehouse space from them in their climate-controlled warehouse in Denver, Colorado.
Other Properties
     Development Lots. Until November 10, 2004, we owned 91 development lots in Lawrence, Colorado. Management evaluated the value of these properties and determined that the total value was no greater than $25,000. In November 2004, we consummated an agreement with a shareholder and creditor, Donald Smith, by which Mr. Smith canceled indebtedness owed to him by Lifeline Therapeutics of about $20,000 in exchange for a quitclaim deed conveying those lots to him. Mr. Smith also assumed any environmental liability to which the property might be subject.
ITEM 3 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     On December 7, 2005, John Bradley commenced a lawsuit naming Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc., Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation, and others as defendants in District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado. Mr. Bradley, alleged that he is entitled to additional compensation, in the form of approximately 450,000 shares of our Series A common stock, for services rendered to the Company and Lifeline Nutraceuticals. Principally, the suit alleged violations of the Colorado Securities Act, breach of contract, and fraudulent inducement.
     On January 30, 2006, we filed a Motion to Dismiss Mr. Bradley’s claims with the District Court. After written briefing and a hearing, the District Court granted this Motion, without prejudice, on May 16, 2006.
     On May 31, 2006, Mr. Bradley filed a Motion for Reconsideration of Order Granting Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, or, in the Alternative, for New Hearing. On June 14, 2006, the Motion for Reconsideration was denied.
     The Company filed a Motion for Payment of Attorney’s Fees and on June 14, 2006, the Motion was granted. In a letter dated September 1, 2006, Mr. Bradley agreed to pay certain amounts in respect of legal fees to Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc., Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation and the other defendants, and to file a stipulation and dismissal of the action.
ITEM 4 — SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. through a solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

     2006 Stock Option Plan. Our 2006 Stock Option Plan was adopted on January 30, 2006, subject to shareholder approval. The purpose of the 2006 Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by affording key employees and other key individuals an opportunity for investment in the Company and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership in the Company. Options to acquire 2,000,000 shares of our Series A common stock may be granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan. There are currently options to purchase 426,000 shares of our Series A common stock outstanding under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, and

15


Table of Contents

options to purchase an additional 1,574,000 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2006 Option Plan. The plan terminates ten years from its adoption subject to shareholder approval prior to January 29, 2007. In addition to the options granted under the plan, there were 1,290,000 options and 6,169,294 warrants outstanding outside the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Included in the options and warrants granted outside the plan are 120,000 warrants granted to a board member, Mr. Baz, pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the effective date of the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
     The 2006 Stock Option Plan authorizes our board of directors or the compensation committee to grant incentive options and non-qualified options. The committee has the power to select the participants to whom options are granted, determine the number of shares to be subject to each option, whether an option will be granted in exchange for the termination of an existing option, the purchase price for the shares underlying the option, the option period, the manner in which options become exercisable, and such other terms the committee deems necessary or desirable. No option may be granted at an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of our Series A common stock on the date of grant. Options must expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. If a grantee’s employment is terminated, then any option held may be exercised only to extent determined by the committee at the time of grant, but no more than 3 months after termination. If certain changes in control of the Company occur, then all options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan would become immediately exercisable other than incentive stock options that would violate the $100,000 limitation described in the next paragraph.
     The aggregate fair market value of shares underlying incentive stock options granted to a particular grantee that have become exercisable for the first time during the same calendar year will not exceed $100,000, subject to further amendments to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, no incentive stock option may be granted to a key employee who, at the time of the grant, owns stock with more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, unless at the time of the grant the purchase price for the underlying shares of Series A common stock is at least 110% of the fair market value and the incentive stock option is not exercisable more than 5 years after the date of grant.
     Interim Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to an agreement, effective as of August 1, 2005, with Tatum CFO Partners, LLP (“Tatum”), Brenda March served as our interim Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted Ms. March and Tatum warrants to purchase 7,200 and 1,800 shares of common stock, respectively. Subsequent to August 1, 2005, additional warrants to purchase 6,742 and 1,686 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted at exercise prices between $3.13 and $9.85. In connection with the hiring of Stephen K. Onody as Chief Executive Officer, on January 13, 2006, Ms. March substantially ceased providing services to the Company under the terms of the agreement with Tatum and no additional warrants have been granted.
     Chairman Warrants. On October 12, 2005, the Company and Mr. Baz, who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, agreed that Mr. Baz will continue to serve as Chairman from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006 in exchange for warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock per month (in addition to the cash compensation being paid to him as a director and a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors). The warrants contain an exercise price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of our Series A common stock on the Wednesday of each month that immediately precedes the last Thursday of the month. If that Wednesday is not a trading day, then the exercise price will be equal to the volume weighted average trading price on the first trading day immediately preceding that Wednesday. Each

16


Table of Contents

warrant is issued at the close of business on the trading day on which its exercise price is determined, and will expire at the close of business on the second anniversary of the issue date. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan, the pricing of Mr. Baz’s remaining warrants was fixed at $3.37 per share for the remaining term of the agreement. There was no underwriter involved in the transaction, and the warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Chief Executive Officer. On November 28, 2005, our Chief Executive Officer, Stephen K. Onody, was granted an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Series A common stock, with the purchase price equal to the weighted average price for a share of our Series A common stock on November 28, 2005. The stock option vests and becomes exercisable in the amounts set forth below based upon the weighted average trading price of our Series A common stock for a consecutive 90 day period:

If after November 28, 2006 and prior to November 28, 2007 there is a “change in control” of the Company, the Company terminates the agreement without Cause (as defined in the employment agreement), or Mr. Onody terminates the agreement with Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), then one-third of the option that has not already vested as of such date will immediately vest, and if one of these events occurs after November 28, 2007 but prior to November 28, 2008, two-thirds of the option that has not already vested will immediately vest. There was no underwriter involved in the transaction, and the option was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Chief Financial Officer. On January 4, 2006, our Chief Financial Officer, Gerald J. Houston, was granted an option to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with the purchase price equal to the weighted average price for a share of the Company’s common stock on January 4, 2006.

will immediately vest, and if one of these events occurs after January 4, 2008 but prior to January 4, 2009, two-thirds of the option that has not already vested will immediately vest. There was no underwriter involved in the transaction, and the option was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     Board Members and Others. On February 1, 2006, we granted options to board members serving on various committees. Members of the Audit Committee, Marketing Committee, Science Committee and Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, other than the Chairman of these Committees, received options to acquire 12,000 shares of our Series A common stock, with the Chairman of each of the Audit Committee, Marketing Committee and Science Committee receiving options to acquire 24,000 shares of our Series A common stock. Members of the Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee, other than the Chairman of these Committees, received options to acquire 6,000 shares of our Series A common stock, with the Chairman of these Committees receiving options to acquire 12,000 shares of our Series A common stock. One-twelfth of each of these options became exercisable on February 1, 2006, with the remainder of each option becoming exercisable on the last day of the calendar month beginning February 28, 2006. The exercise price of the options granted is equal to the volume weighted average trading price of our Series A common stock on February 1, 2006.
     As of June 30, 2006, 7,885,294 total warrants and options to purchase common stock were outstanding. These warrants and options have exercise prices ranging between $0.72 and $9.85, with a weighted average exercise price of $2.55 and expiration dates ranging from July 31, 2007 to January 4, 2016. As of June 30, 2006, 1,883,428 compensation based warrants and options to purchase common stock were outstanding. The compensation based warrants and options have exercise prices ranging between $0.72 and $9.85, with a weighted average exercise price of $3.25 and expiration dates ranging from July 31, 2007 to January 4, 2016.

ITEM 6 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
You should read the following discussion and analysis in connection with our financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 following Part III of this annual report.
Overview
     This management’s discussion and analysis discusses the financial condition and results of operations of Lifeline Therapeutics and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lifeline Nutraceuticals, Inc. (“Lifeline Nutraceuticals”).
     At the present time we sell a single product, Protandim®. We developed Protandim®, a proprietary blend of ingredients that has (through studies on animals and humans) demonstrated the ability to enhance superoxide dismutase (“SOD”) and catalase (“CAT”) in brain, liver, and blood, the primary battlefields for oxidative stress. Protandim® is designed to induce the human body to produce more of its own catalytic anti-oxidants, and to decrease the process of lipid peroxidation, an indicator of oxidative stress. Each component of Protandim® has been selected on its ability to meet these criteria. Low, safe doses of each component ensure that unwanted additional effects that might be associated with one or another of the components are not seen with the formulation.
     We sell Protandim® directly to individuals as well as to retail stores. We began significant sales of Protandim® in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2005. In June 2005, the Company and Protandim® were discussed on a nationally-televised news program, which led to a substantial increase in sales. Between June 2005 and March 2006, sales of Protandim® have declined on a monthly basis as we have not received continuing similar national news exposure. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, our expenditures related to company initiated sales and marketing activities have increased.
     Our research efforts to date have been focused on investigating various aspects and consequences of the “imbalance of oxidants and anti-oxidants,” an abnormality which is a central underlying feature in many disorders. We intend to continue our research, development, and documentation of Protandim® to provide credibility to the market. We also anticipate undertaking research, development, testing, and licensing efforts to be able to introduce additional products under the Protandim® brand name in the future, although we cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in this endeavor.
     The primary operational components of our business are outsourced to companies that we believe possess a high degree of professionalism and achievement in their particular field of endeavor. One advantage of outsourcing we hope to achieve is a more direct correlation of the costs we incur to our level of product sales versus the relatively high fixed costs of building our own infrastructure to accomplish these same tasks. Another advantage of this structure is to minimize our commitment of resources to the human capital required to manage these operational components successfully. Outsourcing also provides additional capacity without significant advance notice and often at an incremental price lower than the unit prices for the base service.
     Our expenditures during fiscal 2006 consisted primarily of marketing expenses, operating expenses, payroll and professional fees, customer service, research and development and product manufacturing for the marketing and sale of Protandim®. During 2005, our expenditures consisted primarily of payroll expenses, operating expenses, professional fees, continuing research and

19


Table of Contents

development, raw material acquisition and product manufacturing for the prospective marketing and sale of Protandim®.
Recent Developments
     On November 28, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors had appointed Stephen K. Onody as our Chief Executive Officer effective November 28, 2005. Mr. Onody was also appointed to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Onody replaced Brenda March who had been serving as our interim Chief Executive Officer since July 19, 2005. On January 4, 2006, Gerald J. Houston became our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Houston replaced Mr. William B. Kutney who has served as our Chief Financial Officer since August 2005.
Reorganization
     This discussion and analysis discusses the financial condition and results of operation of Lifeline Therapeutics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (“LNC”). As described above, we completed the Reorganization in October 2004, and acquired the remaining minority interest in LNC in March 2005. As a part of the Reorganization, Lifeline Therapeutics also assumed all debt and common stock purchase warrants of LNC. As a result of the Reorganization, our fiscal year end became June 30.
     For legal purposes, Lifeline Therapeutics acquired LNC and now owns 100% of the common stock of LNC. However, for financial accounting purposes, LNC is treated as the acquiring company in a reverse acquisition of the company that is now known as Lifeline Therapeutics and that is the parent of LNC. As a consequence of the reverse acquisition treatment, our financial statements as of June 30, 2006 are the consolidated statements of Lifeline Therapeutics and our financial statements as of June 30, 2005 are those of LNC from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005, and Lifeline Therapeutics since the date of the reverse merger. For periods prior to October 2004, the historical financial statements are those of LNC.
Year ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Year ended June 30, 2005
     Sales. We generated net sales of approximately $7,165,800 during the year ended June 30, 2006 and approximately $2,353,800 during the year ended June 30, 2005 from the sale of our product, Protandim®. This increase was due to the fact that we did not begin significant sales of Protandim® until the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2005, and as a consequence, sales in the first three quarters of 2005 were minimal. We sold approximately 146,600 units of Protandim in the year ended June 30, 2006, and approximately 48,400 for the year ended June 30, 2005.
     Gross Margin. Cost of sales were approximately $1,491,300 for the year ended June 30, 2006, and approximately $393,600 for the year ended June 30, 2005, resulting in a gross margin of approximately $5,674,500, or 79%, and approximately $1,960,200, or 83%, respectively. The change in margin is due to higher fulfillment costs in fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
     Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $8,544,000 as compared to operating expenses of approximately $4,045,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Operating expenses consist of marketing and customer service expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development and depreciation and amortization expenses, each of which increased between the fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2006, due to expansion of activities related to the launch of Protandim®.

20


Table of Contents

     Marketing and Customer Service Expenses. Marketing and customer service expense increased from approximately $924,000 in fiscal year 2005 to approximately $4,260,000 in fiscal year 2006. This increase was due to additional marketing and customer support activity required to expand product distribution in 2006.
     General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expense rose from approximately $2,982,000 in fiscal year 2005 to $3,904,000 in fiscal year 2006. The increase resulted from our hiring of additional staff during the last half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 to provide sufficient infrastructure to management, marketing, operations and administration in connection with our expanded product marketing efforts, as well as related increases in our legal expenses.
     Research and Development. Our research and development expenditures increased from approximately $38,000 in fiscal year 2005 to approximately $114,000 in fiscal year 2006 as a result of an increase in our research, development, and documentation of the efficacy of Protandim® for potential consumers.
     Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from approximately $102,000 during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 to approximately $265,300 in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due to the amortization of a non-compete agreement during fiscal year 2006.
     Net Other Income and Expense. We recognized net other expense of approximately $3,738,000 in fiscal year 2005 as compared to net other income of approximately $135,000 in fiscal year 2006. This change is largely the result of a reduction of $3,300,000 in interest expense incurred in fiscal year 2005 due to the conversion and repayment of our convertible bridge loans issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     Net Loss. As a result of the revenues and expenses described above and because of significant revenue, we reduced our net loss of approximately $2,735,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of approximately $5,822,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
     As further described below in “Unresolved SEC Staff Comments”, we are in the process of responding to comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding, among other issues, the accounting for the convertible debentures issued by us in 2005 as well as the accounting for goodwill from the purchase of the minority interest of LNC in 2005. The outcome of such discussions with the SEC may result in adjustments to certain amounts reported in our financial statements issued for the year ended June 30, 2005 and all subsequent periods thereafter. These adjustments could affect the presentation and classification of amounts and costs relating to certain equity based instruments, and goodwill on our balance sheet and statement of operations, however, we currently believe that if such adjustments are made, our report of cash flows will be unaffected.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to finance the cost of our planned marketing efforts and the manufacture and sale of Protandim® and to pay our general and administrative expenses. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from the sales of our product.

21


Table of Contents

     At June 30, 2006, our available liquidity was approximately $3,237,000, including available cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. This represented a decrease of approximately $1,168,000 from the approximately $4,405,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2005. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we used approximately $1,082,000 of cash in operations as compared to approximately $1,893,000 during fiscal 2005. The Company’s cash used by operating activities during fiscal 2006 decreased as a result of increased sales in fiscal 2006 over fiscal 2005.
     We used approximately $1,200 in cash from financing activities during fiscal year 2006, compared to $6,801,000 of cash provided from financing activities during fiscal year 2005. Cash provided from financing activities during fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to approximately $2,954,000 received from notes payable and $4,400,000 in net proceeds from the sale of our Series A common stock and warrants, offset by approximately $401,000 in debt issuance costs and the repayment of $160,000 of loans.
     During the year ended June 30, 2006, we used approximately $3,260,000 in investing activities, primarily in the purchase of marketable securities. During the year ended June 30, 2005, we used approximately $553,000 in investing activities, primarily for patent costs (approximately $102,000), for a non-compete agreement (approximately $250,000), and for the purchase of equipment and software (approximately $200,000).
     At June 30, 2006, we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately $2,254,000, compared to working capital of approximately $5,167,000 at June 30, 2005. Our working capital at June 30, 2006 was primarily derived from our sales of Protandim®, whereas, working capital at June 30, 2005 was primarily derived from the proceeds of the bridge notes and equity transactions.
     We currently anticipate that existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs through at least June 30, 2007. We base our expenses and expenditures in part on our expectations of future revenue levels from the sale of Protandim®. If our revenue for a particular period is lower than expected, we may take steps to reduce our operating expenses accordingly. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional public or private equity securities or obtain debt financing. Additional financing may not be available at all or, if available, may not be obtainable on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing needed if and when cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Additional financing may also be dilutive to our existing shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
     We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. We consider an

22


Table of Contents

accounting estimate to be critical if (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
     There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the foregoing disclosure.
Allowances for Product Returns
     We record allowances for product returns at the time we ship the product. We base these accruals on the historical return rate since the inception of our selling activities, and the specific historical return patterns of the product. Our return rate since the inception of selling activities is approximately 2% of sales.
     We offer a 30-day, money back unconditional guarantee to all customers. As of June 30, 2006, our June 2006 shipments of approximately $356,000 were subject to the money back guarantee. We replace returned product damaged during shipment wholly at our cost, which historically has been negligible.
     We monitor our return estimate on an ongoing basis and may revise the allowances to reflect our experience. Our allowance for product returns was $34,397 on June 30, 2006, compared with $48,500 on June 30, 2005. To date, product expiration dates have not played any role in product returns, and we do not expect they will in the future because it is unlikely that we will ship product with an expiration date earlier than the latest allowable product return date.
Inventory Valuation
     We state inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out basis. We maintain a reserve for inventory obsolescence and we base this reserve on assumptions about current and future product demand, inventory whose shelf life has expired and market conditions. We may be required to make additional reserves in the event there is a change in any of these variables. We recorded no reserves for obsolete inventory as of June 30, 2006 because our product and raw materials have a shelf life of at least 3 years and we purchased all product and raw materials in the second half of fiscal 2005.
Revenue Recognition
     We ship the majority of our product by United Parcel Service (“UPS”) and receive payment for those shipments in the form of credit card charges. Our return policy is to provide a 30-day money back guarantee on orders placed by customers. After 30 days, we do not refund customers for returned product. We have experienced monthly returns approximating 2% of sales. Sales revenue and estimated returns are recorded when the merchandise is shipped because performance by us is considered met when shipped by UPS.
     In July 2005, we entered into an agreement with GNC pursuant to which GNC has the right to return any and all product shipped to them, at any time, for any reason. Since we do not have sufficient history with GNC to reasonably estimate the rate of product returns, we have deferred all

23


Table of Contents

revenue and costs related to these shipments. We will recognize this deferred revenue and its related costs when we obtain sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amount of future returns. Product returns from GNC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were approximately $5,000.
Goodwill Impairment
     Goodwill has constituted a significant portion of our long-term assets. We perform our goodwill impairment test annually. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than book value, a second step would be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. We estimate the fair value of the related operations by relying upon external third party valuation and goodwill impairment analysis of the Company. In addition to other valuation methods, the external valuation firm utilized discounted cash flows as one of the measures of fair market value. Forecasts of future cash flows based best estimates of future sales and operating costs which could significantly change and affect the amount of future impairments, if any.
Research and Development Costs
     We have expensed all of our payments related to research and development activities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 shall be effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We anticipate that SFAS 155 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. Entities shall adopt this statement as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. The effective date of this statement is the date that an entity adopts the requirements of this statement. We anticipate that SFAS 156 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In September 2006, Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, was issued by the FASB and is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the

24


Table of Contents

application of this Statement will change current practice. We anticipate that SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Unresolved SEC Staff Comments
     On June 30, 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 related to the sale by certain of our shareholders of up to 12,323,867 shares of our Series A common stock issued in connection with our private placement completed in May 2005. We subsequently amended our registration statement to respond to comments from the Staff. We have been in ongoing dialogue with SEC Staff to resolve any outstanding issues. The SEC Staff’s most recent comments request clarification on the following matters:
  a)   The valuation of 1,000,000 shares issued to purchase a minority interest in Lifeline Nutraceuticals in March 2005, and consequently,
 
  b)   the valuation of the $5,310,000 goodwill resulting from the transaction,
 
  c)   the appropriate purchase price allocation to intangible assets, and
 
  d)   the calculation of the beneficial conversion factor related to the bridge notes in fiscal year 2005.
     These Staff comments are as yet unresolved. In our response letters to the Staff, we have provided additional information that we believe supports our current and historic accounting treatment on these matters. We believe our accounting treatment regarding these matters is correct, and we are currently discussing these matters with the SEC Staff. We will continue to work with the Staff to resolve these unresolved comments.
     If the SEC Staff agrees with our positions on these matters and there are no further comments from the Staff, then we will not be required to restate any of our prior financial statements and would anticipate that the Staff would declare our registration statement effective thereafter. If the Staff disagrees with our positions on these matters, then we will continue to work with the Staff on these matters until resolution is obtained. In such event, we could be required to restate certain of our prior financial statements. To the extent that any of the Staff’s comments relate to matters that also impact information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, we would file an amendment to the Form 10-KSB once the SEC comment process is completed. We cannot assure you, however, that these issues will be resolved in a timely manner or that any resolution will not have a material adverse effect on our prior balance sheet items or our historical results of operations.
     Any or all of these matters may require non-cash adjustments to the Company’s financial statements, and the outcome of this process could require that we restate this 10-KSB and could require that we restate certain financial statements with respect to our prior financial periods. At this time, we are unable to estimate the extent or magnitude of the changes that may need to be made to our financial statements as a result of the unresolved comments, and we will not be in a position to determine the ultimate impact on our financial statements.
Risk Factors
     An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information provided in

25


Table of Contents

this annual report, including our financial statements and the related notes, before purchasing our Series A common stock. The risks described below are those we currently believe may materially affect us. The future development of Lifeline Therapeutics and Protandim® is and will continue to be dependent upon a number of factors, not all of which we can predict or anticipate. Accordingly, the following risk factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements in this annual report. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our business, future results of operations or financial condition. We have no obligation and do not undertake to update or revise the following risk factors to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.
Risk Factors Relating to the Company, our Lack of Operating History, our Management and our Financial Condition
We have a lack of operating history and lack of revenues from operations.
     We did not generate any significant revenues from the sale of Protandim® until the last six months of fiscal 2005. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, we generated revenues of $0 and $2,353,795, respectively. Although Lifeline Nutraceuticals incorporated in July 2003, and even though we have expended in excess of $12,800,000 in research and development activities and overhead expenses since July 2003, we do not have any significant operating history. We commenced sales of our only product, Protandim®, in February 2005, and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $5,822,397 and for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we incurred a net loss of $2,734,501. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional public or private equity securities or obtain debt financing. Additional financing may not be available at all or, if available, may not be obtainable on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing needed if and when cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Additional financing may also be dilutive to our existing shareholders.
There is no assurance that we will be successful in expanding our operations and, if successful, managing our future growth.
     We increased the scale of our operations by spending the funds available from the completion of our private placement of our Series A common stock in May 2005. This increase in scale and expansion of our operations resulted in higher operating costs. If we are unable to generate revenues that are sufficient to cover our increased costs, our results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may experience periods of rapid growth, including increased staffing levels. Any such growth will place a substantial strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources, and we will need to train, motivate, and manage employees, as well as attract sales, technical, and other professionals. Any failure to expand these areas and implement appropriate procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with our business objectives would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Government regulators and regulations could adversely affect our business.
     The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, distribution, and sale of our product, as well as other dietary supplements, are subject to regulation by a number of federal, state, and local agencies, including but not limited to the FDA and the FTC. See Item 1 – Business – Government Approval and Regulations. These agencies have a variety of procedures and enforcement remedies available to them, including but not limited to:
    Initiating investigations;
 
    Issuing warning letters and cease and desist orders;
 
    Demanding recalls;
 
    Initiating adverse publicity;
 
    Requiring corrective labeling or advertising;
 
    Requiring consumer redress and/or disgorgement;
 
    Seeking injunctive relief or product seizures;
 
    Initiating judicial actions; and
 
    Imposing civil penalties or commencing criminal prosecution.
Federal and state agencies have in the past used these types of remedies in regulating participants in the dietary supplement industry, including the imposition by federal agencies of monetary redress in the millions of dollars. Adverse publicity related to dietary supplements may result in increased regulatory scrutiny, undermine or eliminate the acceptance of our product by consumers and lead to the initiation of private lawsuits. Product recalls could result in unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall.
     Our failure to comply with applicable laws could also subject us to severe legal sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Specific action taken against us could result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Furthermore, a state could interpret product claims that are presumptively valid under federal law are nonetheless illegal under that state’s regulations.
Future laws or regulations may hinder or prohibit the production or sale of our existing product and any future products.
     We may be subject to additional laws or regulations in the future, such as those administered by the FDA, FTC, or other federal, state, or local regulatory authorities. See Item 1 – Business – Government Approval and Regulations. Laws or regulations that we consider favorable may be modified or repealed. Current laws or regulations may be amended or interpreted more stringently. The FDA has proposed extensive good manufacturing practice regulations for dietary supplements. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations or interpretations, nor can we predict what effect they may have on our business. Possible effects or requirements could include, but are not limited to, the following:
    The reformulation of products to meet new standards;
 
    Additional ingredient restrictions;
 
    Additional claim restrictions;
 
    The recall or discontinuance of products unable to be reformulated;
 
    Imposition of additional good manufacturing practices and/or record keeping requirements;

27


Table of Contents

    Expanded documentation of the properties of products; and
 
    Expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.
Any such requirements could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Unfavorable publicity could materially hurt our business and the value of your investment.
     We are highly dependent upon consumers’ perceptions of the safety, quality and efficacy of our products, as well as products distributed by other companies. Future scientific research or publicity may not be favorable to our industry or any particular product, or consistent with earlier research or publicity. Future reports or research that are perceived less favorably or that question such earlier research could have a material adverse effect on us. Because of our dependence upon consumer perceptions, adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects resulting from the consumption of our product or any similar products distributed by other companies could have a material adverse impact on us. Such adverse publicity could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from failure to consume such products as directed. We may be unable to counter the effects of negative publicity concerning the efficacy of our product. Adverse publicity could also increase our product liability exposure.
We are and will continue to be subject to the risk of investigatory and enforcement action by the FTC, which could have a negative impact upon the price of our stock.
     We will always be subject to the risk of investigatory and enforcement action by the FTC based on our advertising claims and marketing practices. The FTC routinely reviews product advertising, including websites, to identify significant questionable advertising claims and practices. The FTC has brought many actions against dietary supplement companies based upon allegations that applicable advertising claims or practices were deceptive and/or not substantiated. If the FTC initiates an investigation, the FTC can initiate pre-complaint discovery that may be nonpublic in nature. Such an investigation: (i) may be very expensive to defend, (ii) may be lengthy, and (iii) may result in an adverse ruling by a court, administrative law judge, or in a publicly disclosed consent decree.
The dietary supplement market is highly competitive.
     The market for the sale of dietary supplements is highly competitive. Our competitors could have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess better manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. As the dietary supplement industry grows and changes, retailers may align themselves with larger suppliers who may be more financially stable, market a broad portfolio of products or offer better customer service. Increased competition or increased pricing pressure could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Among other factors, competition among manufacturers, distributors and retailers of dietary supplements is based upon price. Because of the high degree of price competition, we may not be able to pass on increases in raw material prices to our customers. If a competitor reduces their price in order to gain market share or if raw material prices increase and we are unable to pass along the cost to our customers, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our business is susceptible to product liability claims, which could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.
     The manufacture and sale of any product for human consumption raises the risk of product liability claims if a customer alleges an adverse reaction after using the product. These claims may derive from the product itself or a contaminant found in the product from the manufacturing, packaging, sales process or even due to tampering by unauthorized third parties. Even with the product liability/completed operations insurance we have obtained, there will be a risk that insurance will not cover our potential exposure completely or would fail to cover a particular claim, in which case we may not have the financial resources to satisfy such claims. In addition, certain damages in litigation, such as punitive damages, are not covered by our insurance policy. The payment of claims would require us to use funds that are otherwise needed to conduct our business and make our products. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or other indemnification coverage, product liability claims and litigation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.
Consumers of our product may not feel noticeable physiological differences after taking Protandim®.
     Consumers of our product may not feel noticeable physiological differences after taking Protandim®. One of our marketing challenges is educating consumers about Protandim’s® benefits and encouraging continued use of the product. Although one of our on going initiatives is finding a “home test” or other approach to measuring Protandim’s® physiological benefits, there can be no assurances that such a test or approach will be developed or that we will be able to educate consumers about Protandim’s® benefits. Consequently, consumers may not continue to purchase our product, which would have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
We have no manufacturing capabilities and we are dependent upon a third party to manufacture our product.
     We are dependent upon our relationship with an independent manufacturer to fulfill our product needs. We currently only use one manufacturer for our product. Accordingly, we are dependent on the uninterrupted and efficient operation of this manufacturer’s facility. Our ability to market and sell our product requires that our product is manufactured in commercial quantities, without significant delay and in compliance with applicable federal and state regulatory requirements. In addition, we must be able to have our product manufactured at a cost that permits us to charge a price acceptable to the customer while also accommodating any distribution costs or third-party sales compensation. If our current manufacturer is unable for any reason to fulfill our requirements, or seeks to impose unfavorable terms, we will have to seek out other contract manufacturers which could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition. Competitors who perform their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of product, and in other areas through their control of the manufacturing process.
Raw material for our product may be difficult to obtain or expensive.
     Our third party manufacturer acquires the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of Protandim ® . We cannot assure you that suppliers will provide the raw materials our manufacturer needs in the quantities requested, at a price we are willing to pay or that meet our quality standards. The failure to supply raw materials or changes in the material terms of raw material supply arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We are also subject to potential delays in the delivery of raw materials caused by events beyond our control, including labor disputes, transportation interruptions, weather-related events, natural disasters or other catastrophic events, and changes in government regulations. Any significant delay in or disruption of the supply of raw materials could, among other things, substantially increase the cost of such materials, require reformulation or repackaging of products, require the qualification of new suppliers, or result in our inability to meet customer demands. Raw materials account for a significant portion of our manufacturing costs. Significant increases in raw material prices could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

We depend on a limited number of significant customers and the loss of any of them could negatively affect our business.
     Our largest customer is GNC and the loss of GNC as a customer, or a significant reduction in purchase volume by GNC, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
     In addition, pursuant to our agreement with GNC, sales are made on a “sale or return” basis whereby product can be returned by GNC customers for a full refund. We do not have sufficient history with GNC to reasonably estimate the rate of product returns and we have deferred all revenue and costs related to these shipments. GNC’s return policy could permit consumers to return a greater percentage of our product than if we sold Protandim® through a different retail operation, which in turn could negatively impact our revenues and results of operation.
Product returns may adversely affect our business.
     Product returns are part of our business. In addition to the “sale or return” policy applicable to sales through GNC described above, we offer a 30-day, money back unconditional guarantee to all customers.
     We record allowances for product returns at the time we ship the product. We base these accruals on the historical return rate since the inception of our selling activities, and the specific historical return patterns of the product. Our return rate since the inception of selling activities is approximately 2% of sales. We replace returned product damaged during shipment wholly at our cost, which historically has been negligible. We cannot guarantee, however, that future return rates or costs associated with returns do not increase.
     To date, product expiration dates have not played any role in product returns, and we do not expect they will in the future because it is unlikely that we will ship product with an expiration date earlier than the latest allowable product return date. There can be no guarantee, however, that product returns related to expiration dates will not increase in the future.
We currently depend on a single product for our revenue.
     Protandim® is currently the only product we sell and, as such, we cannot rely on a broad portfolio of other products to support our operations in the event we experience any difficulty with the manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of Protandim®. We cannot assure you that Protandim® will maintain its popularity or growth.
Worsening economic conditions may adversely affect our business.
     The demand for dietary supplements tends to be sensitive to consumers’ disposable income. Therefore, a decline in general economic conditions may lead to our consumers having less discretionary income with which to purchase such products. This could cause a reduction in our projected revenues and have a material adverse effect on operating results.

We may face limited availability of additional capital.
     Should we need to borrow money from financial institutions or other third parties in the future, the cost of capital may be high. Traditional debt financing may be unavailable and we may have to seek alternative sources of financing, including the issuance of new shares of stock or preferential stock that could dilute current shareholders. There can be no guarantee that we could successfully complete such a stock issuance or otherwise raise additional capital.
We could be exposed to certain environmental liabilities due to our past operations and property ownership.
     Between 1993 and 1999, we owned mining properties in the Yaak River mining district of Montana. The Company maintained these mining properties pursuant to Montana law, but never conducted any mining operations or ore processing. Prior to completing the Reorganization, LNC management and consultants reviewed the records of this prior ownership and certain publicly available records relating to the properties. The State of Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) believed that the properties may contain residues from past mining. Since we have not performed on-site environmental studies to evaluate the environmental circumstances of these properties, there is a risk that there may be material environmental liabilities associated with our former property interests in Montana for which we may be liable, however we cannot provide a reasonable estimate of such risk.
     In addition, until November 10, 2004, we owned 91 lots in Lawrence, Colorado. We are not aware of any environmental liabilities with respect to these lots as the party acquiring the property assumed any environmental liability to which the property might be subject. Nonetheless, there is a risk that a governmental agency or a private individual may assert liability against us for violation of environmental laws related to the ownership of this property.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Obsolescence
Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products and brand.
     We have attempted to protect our intellectual property rights in Protandim® through a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, patents, and other contractual provisions. William Driscoll and Paul Myhill, the original inventors of Protandim®, have assigned all patent filings to LNC and the assignment has been filed with the USPTO. Our intellectual property is covered by three U.S. utility patent applications on file in the USPTO. A PCT International Patent Application is also on file. These patent applications claim the benefit of priority of seven U.S. provisional patent applications. There is no guarantee that these patent applications will be approved. The loss of our intellectual property rights in our Protandim® product could permit our competitors to manufacture their own version of our product which could have a materially adverse effect on our revenues. Even considering our existing patent applications and any others that we may apply for, patents only provide a limited protection against infringement, and patent infringement suits are complex, expensive, and not always successful.
If we do not continue to innovate and provide products that are useful to consumers, we may not remain competitive, and our revenues and operating results could suffer.
     Scientists, research institutions, and commercial institutions are making advances and improvements in nutritional supplements and issues relating to oxidative stress and aging very

quickly, both domestically and internationally. It is possible that future developments may occur, and these developments may render Protandim® non-competitive. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to develop, commercialize, and market products that address issues relating to aging and oxidative stress, and to anticipate successfully or to respond to technological changes in manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis. The development and commercialization process, particularly relating to innovative products, is both time-consuming and costly and involves a high degree of business risk. The success of new products or product enhancements is subject to a number of variables, including developing products that will appeal to customers, accurately anticipating consumer needs, pricing a product competitively and complying with laws and regulations. We cannot guarantee that our continuing development efforts will be successful or that consumers will accept any new products. The failure to successfully launch or gain distribution for new product offerings or product enhancements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to protect our proprietary information against unauthorized use by others, our competitive position could be harmed.
     Our proprietary information is critically important to our competitive position and is a significant aspect of the products we provide. We generally enter into confidentiality or non-compete agreements with our employees and consultants, and control access to, and distribution of, our documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, these strategies may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary information. Therefore, we could be required to expend significant amounts to defend our rights to proprietary information in the future if a breach were to occur.
Other parties might claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights.
     Although the dietary supplement industry has historically been characterized by products with naturally occurring ingredients in capsule or tablet form, recently it is becoming more common for suppliers and competitors to apply for patents or develop proprietary technologies and processes. We cannot assure you that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us despite our efforts to avoid such infringement. To the extent that these developments prevent us from offering competitive products in the marketplace, or result in litigation or threatened litigation against us related to alleged or actual infringement of third-party rights, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risk Factors Relating to our Series A Common Stock
Our management and large shareholders exercise significant control over our Company and may approve or take actions that may be adverse to your interests.
     As of June 30, 2006, our named executive officers, directors, and 5% stockholders beneficially owned approximately 67% of our voting power. For the foreseeable future, to the extent such shareholders vote all their shares in the same manner, they will be able to exercise control over many matters requiring approval by the board of directors or our shareholders. As a result, they will be able to:
    Control the composition of our board of directors;
 
    Control our management and policies;

32


Table of Contents

    Determine the outcome of significant corporate transactions, including changes in control that may be beneficial to shareholders; and
 
    Act in each of their own interests, which may conflict with, or be different from, the interests of each other or the interests of the other shareholders.
Our Series A common stock could be classified as penny stock and is extremely illiquid, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing market prices.
     Our common stock is subject to additional disclosure requirements for penny stocks mandated by the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990. The SEC Regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that is not traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Depending upon our stock price, we may be included within the SEC Rule 3a-51 definition of a penny stock and our Series A common stock may be considered to be a penny stock, with trading of our common stock covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker-dealers who sell or effect the purchase of such securities to persons other than established customers or in certain exempted transactions, must make a special written disclosure to, and suitability determination for, the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. The regulations on penny stocks limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Series A common stock and thus may limit the ability of purchasers of our Series A common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. Our Series A common stock will not be considered penny stock if our net tangible assets exceed $5,000,000 or our average revenue is at least $6,000,000 for the previous three years.
     The average daily trading volume of our Common Stock on the over-the-counter market was approximately 33,600 shares per day over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices.
Our stock price may experience future volatility.
     The trading price of our Common Stock has historically been subject to wide fluctuations. The price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in the future in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, material announcements by us or competitors, governmental regulatory action, conditions in the dietary supplement industry, or other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market has historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market prices of many dietary supplement companies and which have, in certain cases, not had a strong correlation to the operating performance of such companies. In addition, our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of our Common Stock would likely decline, perhaps substantially.

ITEM 8 – CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
     Not applicable.
ITEM 8A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     As of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-KSB, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-KSB.
     There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc.
Englewood, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation:
     Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. (“Lifeline Therapeutics” or the “Company”) was formed under Colorado law in June 1988, under the name Andraplex Corporation. The Company amended its name to Yaak River Resources, Inc. in January 1992, and to Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. in October 2004. The Company is in the business of manufacturing, marketing and selling its product Protandim® to individuals throughout the United States of America. The Company began selling to individuals during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and to retail stores beginning in fiscal year 2006. The Company’s principal operations are located in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
     On October 26, 2004, the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (“LNC”), a privately held Colorado corporation, formed on July 1, 2003. The shareholders of LNC exchanged 81% of their outstanding shares of common stock for 15,385,110 shares of Series A common stock of the Company, which represented 94% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The Company assumed the obligations of LNC note holders as part of the transaction.
     For legal purposes, the Company acquired LNC and is the parent company of LNC. However, for accounting purposes, LNC is treated as the acquiring company in a reverse acquisition of the Company. As a consequence, the financial statements presented reflect the consolidated operations of both Lifeline Therapeutics and LNC for the two years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 and Lifeline Therapeutics since the date of the reverse merger. For periods prior to October 2004, the historical financial statements are those of LNC.
     For the period from July 1, 2003 (LNC’s date of formation) to June 30, 2005, LNC (and the Company, following the reorganization) was in the development stage. Activities since inception until February 2005 consisted of organizing LNC, consummation of the reorganization, developing a business plan, formulation and testing of product, and raising capital. In late February 2005, the Company began sales of its product Protandim® and commenced principal planned operations. Accordingly, the Company is no longer in the development stage.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Consolidation
     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LNC. All inter-company accounts and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
     Revenue from product sales is recognized upon passage of title and risk of loss to customers (when product is shipped from the fulfillment facility to direct sales customers). The Company ships the majority of its direct sales product by United Parcel Service (“UPS”) and receives substantially all payment in the form of credit card charges. Sales revenue and estimated returns are recorded when product is shipped. The Company’s return policy is to provide a 30-day money back guarantee on orders placed by customers. To date, the Company has experienced monthly returns of approximately 2% of sales. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s reserve balance for returns and allowances was approximately $34,400 and $48,000, respectively.

F-9


Table of Contents

     In July 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with General Nutrition Distribution, LP (“GNC”). Among other terms of the agreement, sales are subject to a provision whereby the seller and buyer “agree that all Products shall be sold on a “sale or return” basis whereby product can be returned by GNC customers for a full refund. The GNC Vendor Handbook “pledges a 100-percent guarantee by GNC to the purchasers of its products and expects vendors to do the same.” Since the Company does not have sufficient history with GNC to reasonably estimate the rate of product returns, the Company has deferred all revenue and costs related to these shipments. The Company will recognize this deferred revenue and its related costs, classified as deferred expense, when it obtains sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amount of future returns. As of June 30, 2006, deferred revenue totaled $1,144,950 and related cost of sales totaled $152,677.
Accounts Receivable
     The Company’s accounts receivable consist of receivables from retail distributors. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. However, as the Company had only one retail distributor, GNC, as of June 30, 2006, and has never incurred any payment delays from this customer, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts. For credit card sales to direct sales customers, the Company verifies the customer’s credit card prior to shipment of product. Payment on credit cards is treated as a deposit in transit and is not reflected as a receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. Based on information available, management does not believe that there is justification for an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2006. There is no bad debt expense for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Inventory
     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company has capitalized payments to its contract manufacturer for the acquisition of raw materials and commencement of the manufacturing, bottling and labeling of the Company’s product. The contract with the manufacturer can be terminated by either party with 90 days written notice. As of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, inventory consisted of:
                 
    June 30,  
    2006     2005  
Finished goods
  $ 25,097     $ 201,964  
Packaging supplies
    19,904       17,680  
 
           
Total inventory
  $ 45,001     $ 219,644  
 
           
Earnings per share
     Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents. The effects of potential common stock equivalents are not included in computations when their effect is antidilutive. Because of the net loss for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the basic and diluted average outstanding shares are the same, since including the additional shares would have an antidilutive effect on the loss per share calculation.

Research and Development Costs
     The Company expenses all costs related to research and development activities as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $114,163 and $37,933, respectively.
Advertising Costs
     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $1,980,901 and $219,005, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
     The Company considers only its monetary liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents in accordance with SFAS 115.
Marketable Securities
     The Company considers its investment in debt instruments as marketable securities. The Company purchased a portfolio of marketable securities primarily comprised of corporate bonds. As of June 30, 2006 the portfolio declined in value and the Company reported an unrealized loss of $55,607 in its accompanying Statement of Comprehensive Income. In accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company has classified the investment as “available for sale” securities and reported the unrealized loss in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as a comprehensive income item.
Investment in marketable securities are summarized as follows as of June 30, 2006 and 2005:
                 
    Unrealized     Fair  
    (Loss)     Value  
As of June 30, 2006

As of June 30, 2005
               
Available for sale securities
               
Debt securities

Deposit with Manufacturer
     At June 30, 2006, the Company had a deposit of $555,301 with its contract manufacturer. At June 30, 2005, the Company had a deposit of $991,560 with its contract manufacturer for acquisition of raw materials and production of finished product. Throughout fiscal year 2006, the Company offset reductions in the deposit against the trade payable to the manufacturer. As of June 30, 2006, the trade payable to the contract manufacturer was approximately $32,000.
Shipping and Handling
     Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and freight out to customers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in sales.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment
     Property, software, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is expensed in amounts sufficient to relate the expiring costs of depreciable assets to operations over estimated service lives, principally using the straight-line method. Estimated service lives range from three to seven years. When such assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period of disposal. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Significant expenditures that increase the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Property and equipment consist of:
                 
    June 30,  
    2006     2005  
Equipment
  $ 139,185     $ 77,965  
Software
    216,881       141,451  
Accumulated Depreciation
    (111,066 )     (18,472 )
 
           
Property and equipment, net
  $ 245,000     $ 200,944  
 
           
Patents
     The costs of applying for patents are capitalized and, once the patent is granted, will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life. Capitalized costs will be expensed if patents are not granted. The Company reviews the carrying value of its patent costs, periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value and such reviews could result in the conclusion that the recorded amounts have been impaired. As of June 30, 2006, all patent applications were in process of approval; therefore, there was no amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS“) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company assesses impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When an assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, long-lived assets to be disposed of, and certain identifiable intangibles related to those assets is performed, the Company is required to compare the net carrying value of long-lived assets on the lowest level at which cash flows can be determined on a consistent basis to the related estimates of future undiscounted net cash flows for such properties. If the net carrying value exceeds the net cash flows, then impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value, generally equal to the future discounted net cash flow. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has determined that impairment loss has not occurred in its long-lived assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 establishes standards for accounting for goodwill and other intangibles acquired in business combinations. The Company performs impairment tests on the carrying value of its goodwill on an annual basis. As of June 30,

F-12


Table of Contents

2006 and 2005 no evidence of impairment exists. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized.
Intangible assets consist of:
                 
    June 30,  
    2006     2005  
Patent and trademark costs
  $ 162,042     $ 102,162

Intangible assets, net
  $ 5,472,042     $ 5,578,830  
 
           
Debt issuance costs
     Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the maturity period of the debt. During 2005, debt instruments were converted into common stock and the unamortized cost of $275,200 was charged to interest expense.
Income Taxes
     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax 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 from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change.
Concentration of Credit Risk
     SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk”, requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk. Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash and marketable securities. At June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $3,008,600 with one financial institution in an investment management account.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company adheres to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 provides a method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, based on fair value of the stock-based compensation utilizing various assumptions regarding the underlying attributes of the options and stock, rather than the intrinsic method of accounting for stock-based compensation which is proscribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The Company accounts for stock based compensation to employees and directors under APB No. 25 and utilizes the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 for any options and warrants issued to these individuals.
     The Company expects to begin using the fair value approach to account for stock-based compensation, in accordance with the modified version of prospective application as prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R), beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant date, consistent with the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the effect on the Company’s net loss and loss per share would be as stated in the pro forma amounts below.

F-13


Table of Contents

     In certain circumstances, the Company issued common stock for invoiced services, to pay creditors and in other similar situations. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, payments in equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for by the fair value method, which relies on the valuation of the service at the date of the transaction, or public stock sales price, whichever is more reliable as a measurement.
     Warrants and options were granted to various directors for services rendered during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. An adjustment to net income for compensation expense to recognize annual vesting would be recorded under SFAS No. 123, on a pro forma basis, as reflected in the following table:

Pro forma
  $ (0.18 )   $ (0.34 )
The fair value of the options granted in fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
  1.   risk-free interest rate of between 3.84 and 5.16 percent in fiscal year 2006 and 3.73 in fiscal year 2005;
 
  2.   dividend yield of 0 percent in 2006 and 2005;
 
  3.   expected life of 2 — 3 years in 2006 and 2005; and
 
  4.   a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of between 187 and 263 percent in 2006 and 535 percent in 2005.
Reclassification
     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to comply with current period presentation.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) replaces the industry segment approach under previously issued pronouncements with the management approach. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. SFAS 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. At present, the Company only operates in one segment.

F-14


Table of Contents

Comprehensive Income
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires the presentation and disclosure of all changes in equity from non-owner sources as “Comprehensive Income”. The Company had comprehensive income for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 of ($2,790,108) and ($5,822,397), respectively.
Organization Costs
     The Company accounts for organization costs under the provisions of Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities” which requires that all organization costs be expensed as incurred.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. This statement allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 shall be effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We anticipate that SFAS 155 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. The statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. Entities shall adopt this statement as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. The effective date of this statement is the date that an entity adopts the requirements of this statement. We anticipate that SFAS 156 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
     In September 2006, Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, was issued by the FASB and is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. We anticipate that SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisition of Minority Interest in Subsidiary and Accounting for Goodwill
     On March 10, 2005, the Company reached an agreement with the minority shareholder in the Company’s 81% owned subsidiary, LNC. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company exchanged 1,000,000 shares of its Series A common stock for the remaining 4,500,000 shares of LNC, representing 19% of the outstanding shares of LNC. The closing price of the Company’s Series A common stock on March 10, 2005 was $9.00 per share. Since the Company’s stock had historically been thinly traded, this 1,000,000-share issuance represented a significant block of the Company’s total outstanding shares. Accordingly, the Company took a marketability discount to arrive at an estimated fair value of $5.31 per share. The acquisition of the minority interest has been accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting resulting in goodwill of $5,310,000. The minority shareholder was a former officer of LNC.
     In connection with the purchase of the minority interest in LNC, the Company agreed to pay the minority shareholder $250,000 for a non-compete agreement through March 2006. The payment terms were $125,000 on the date of execution of the agreement and $125,000 in the form of a note payable, which was paid on April 19, 2005. The non-compete agreement is being amortized over the term of the agreement. Amortization expense totaled $166,668 for the year ended June 30, 2006, and $83,332 for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Note 4 –Notes Payable
     There were no Notes Payable outstanding to related parties or unrelated parties as of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued notes payable totaling $2,954,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum. Principal and any accrued interest was due the earlier of one year from issuance or the closing of the proposed private placement, as discussed in Note 5 below. Of the total amount of additional notes issued during 2005, $60,000 was from a related party. The note holders had an option to exchange all or part of the principal and accrued interest for securities in the private placement at the private offering price. In addition, the notes had a warrant attached to purchase shares of common stock equal to their principal and accrued interest amount divided by the $2.00 per share offering price in the private placement. A value for the warrants issued in connection with the debt of $2,185,998 was recorded as a discount to the debt and an addition to equity using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Also, because the conversion price of the debt was less than the market value on the date of grant, an additional discount of $920,662 was recorded for the beneficial conversion feature. The discount relating to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were amortized over the term of the debt and recorded as interest expense through the date of conversion of these notes to equity during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Upon conversion, the remaining unamortized discount was charged to interest expense. Total warrant discount and beneficial conversion feature recorded as interest expense was $3,185,105.
     Interest expense related to the related party note payable was $- in fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and $21,063 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity
     On June 12, 2006, the Company purchased a portfolio of marketable securities primarily comprised of corporate bonds. As of June 30, 2006 the portfolio declined in value and the Company reported an unrealized a loss of $55,607. In accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company accounted for the investment as “available for sale” securities and reported the unrealized loss in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as a comprehensive income item.

     During 2006, the Company granted warrants and options to consultants for services rendered. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, payments in equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for by the fair value method. For the year ended June 30, 2006, compensation of $96,655 was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital.
     In April and May 2005, the Company issued, in a private placement, units consisting of 10,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for $2.50 per share, exercisable through April 18, 2008, to accredited investors for cash and exchange of bridge loan notes.. Each unit was offered at $2.00 per unit. The private placement was made pursuant to an agreement with an investment banking firm entered into by the Company on January 15, 2005. The securities offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or under the securities laws of any state. The securities are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The securities were offered pursuant to an exemption from registration and may not be reoffered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
     Pursuant to the private placement, the Company received $4,988,811 in cash from certain accredited investors in exchange for 2,499,764 shares of common stock and an equal number of warrants. The Company also issued 1,507,202 shares of its common stock and an equal number of warrants in exchange for $3,014,372 bridge notes and accrued interest. The Company paid commissions of $508,134 plus a $75,000 expense allowance to the investment banking firm, and issued warrants to the investment banking firm and another placement agent to purchase 409,281 shares of common stock, exercisable at $2.00 per share through April 18, 2008. After payment of commissions, the expense allowance, and a fee to the escrow agent, the Company received net proceeds of $4,405,677. In conjunction with the closing of the private placement, the Company repaid bridge notes payable with a principal balance of $160,000 and related accrued interest of $10,733 to note holders electing to be repaid rather than exchange their notes for units in the private placement.
     The Company has an obligation to register the Series A common stock issued in the private placement and the shares underlying the warrants received by bridge note holders and investors in the private placement.
     On November 19, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock to Lifeline Orphan Foundation, a not-for-profit organization. The closing price of the Company’s common stock that day was $3.25 and, accordingly, the Company recorded an expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005 of $650,000.
     The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred shares. However, as of June 30, 2006, none have been issued nor have any rights or preferences been assigned to the preferred shares by the Board of Directors.
Note 6 – Stock Option Grants and Warrants
     Stock Option Grants – During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted stock options to various employees and directors of the Company. The options granted the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A common stock at prices between $2.00 and $3.47 per share. The options are not transferable and expire on various dates through January 4, 2016. The Company has not adopted SFAS 123(R) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and the pro forma impact of SFAS 123(R) is reflected in Note 2 under Stock Based Compensation.

Note 8 – Income Taxes
     At June 30, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward of approximately $3,300,000. At June 30, 2005, the Company had an NOL carry-forward of approximately $1,687,000. The NOL may be offset against future taxable income, if any, until 2020. These carry-forwards are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.
     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

     The Company has fully reserved the tax benefit of the net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance of the same amount, because the Company has determined that the probability of realization of the tax benefit is less than likely to occur.
     The Company’s actual income tax benefit differs from the expected income tax benefit determined by applying the statutory rate of 39% (34% federal and 5% state) to the net loss due to the following:

     No contract or other transactions of the corporation with any other person, firm or corporation, or in which this corporation is interested, shall be affected or invalidated by (a) the fact that any one or more of the directors or officers of this corporation is interested in or is a director or officer of such other firm or corporation; or (b) the fact that any director or officer of this corporation, individually or jointly with others, may be a party to or may be interested in any such contract or transaction, so long as the contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified at a meeting of the Board of Directors by sufficient vote thereon by directors not interested therein, to which such fact of relationship or interest has been disclosed, or the contract or transaction has been approved or ratified by vote or written consent of the shareholders entitled to vote, to whom such fact of relationship or interest has been disclosed, or so long as the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation. Each person who may become a director or officer of the corporation is hereby relieved from any liability that might otherwise arise by reason of his contracting with the corporation for the benefit of himself or any firm or corporation in which he may be in any way interested.
     The officers, directors and other members of management of this corporation shall be subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunities only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which this corporation has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by the corporation’s Board of Directors as evidenced by resolutions appearing in the corporation’s minutes. When such areas of interest are delineated, all such business opportunities within such areas of interest which come to the attention of the officers, directors and other members of management of this corporation shall be disclosed promptly to this corporation and made available to it. The Board of Directors may reject any business opportunity presented to it and thereafter any officer, director or other member of management may avail himself of such opportunity. Until such time as this corporation, through its Board of Directors, has designated an area of interest, the officers, directors and other members of management of this corporation shall be free to engage in such areas of interest on their own and the provisions hereof shall not limit the rights of any officer, director or other member of management of this corporation to continue a business existing prior to the time that such area of interest is designated by this corporation. This provision shall not be construed to release any employee of the corporation (other than an officer, director or member of management) from any duties which he may have to the corporation.
ARTICLE VII
     Each director and each officer of the corporation shall be indemnified by the corporation as follows:
     
Articles of Incorporation
  Page 5

 


 

     (a) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
     (b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper.
     (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
     (d) Any indemnification under Sections (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director and employee or agent is proper in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections (a) or (b) of this Article. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote
     
Articles of Incorporation
  Page 6

 


 

of a quorum, consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and represented at a meeting called for such purpose.
     (e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in Section (d) of this Article, upon receipt of an understanding by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article.
     (f) The Board of Directors may exercise the corporation’s power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article.
     (g) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under these Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws, agreements, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person.
     (h) As authorized by Section 7-3-101 of the Colorado Corporation Code, no Director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or any shareholder thereof for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability for (i) any breach of a Director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts of omission not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts in violation of C.R.S. 7-5-114 or any successor legislation, or (iv) any transaction from which a Director derives an improper personal benefit. This subparagraph (h) shall apply to a person who has ceased to be a Director of the corporation with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty which occurred when such person was serving as a Director. This subparagraph (h) shall not be construed to limit or modify in any way any Director’s right to indemnification or other right whatsoever under these Articles, the corporation’s By-Laws or the Colorado Corporation Code. If the Colorado Corporation Code hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination of the liability of the corporation’s Directors, in addition to the limitation of personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Corporation Code as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this subparagraph (h) by the shareholders shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal
     
Articles of Incorporation
  Page 7

 


 

liability of any Director existing at the time of such repeal or modification. The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the total voting power shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with this subparagraph (h).
ARTICLE VIII

If a majority in number, representing at least three-fourths in amount of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or the holders of the majority of the stock or class of stock of said corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and/or to any reorganization of said corporation, as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and/or the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding upon all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the shareholders or class of shareholders of said corporation, as the case may be, and also on said corporation.

EXHIBIT A TO THE ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF
YAAK RIVER RESOURCES, INC.
     ARTICLE THREE is hereby amended to add the following paragraph:
          “Reverse Stock Split. Each share of the Corporation’s Common Stock value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to October 1, 2004 (the “Old Common Stock”) shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be reclassified as and changed, pursuant to a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock split”), into a fraction thereof of 1/68 of a share of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below. Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the October 1, 2004 represented outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the “Old Certificates,” whether one or more) shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Corporation’s Transfer Agent for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the “New Certificates,” whether one or more) representing the number of whole shares of the New Common Stock into which and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock formerly represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered are classified under the terms hereof. From and after the October 1,2004, Old Certificates shall represent only the right to receive New Certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof. No certificates or scrip representing fractional share interests in New Common Stock will be issued, and no such fractional share interest will entitle the holder thereof to vote, or to any rights of a shareholder of the Corporation. Any fraction of a share of New Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled will be adjusted upward to the nearest whole share. If more than one Old Certificate shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same Shareholder the number of full shares of New Common Stock for which New Certificates shall be issued shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the Old certificates so surrendered. In the event that the Corporation’s Transfer Agent determines that a holder of Old Certificates has not tendered all his certificates for exchange, the Transfer Agent shall carry forward any fractional share until all certificates of that holder have been presented for exchange such that payment for fractional shares to any one person shall not exceed the value of one share. If any New Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificates surrendered for exchange are issued, the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer. From and after the October 1, 2004, the amount of capital represented by the shares of the New Common Stock into which and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock are reclassified under the terms hereof shall be the same as the amount of capital represented by the shares of Old Common Stock so reclassified until after reduced or increased in accordance with applicable law.”

OF
LIFELINE THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Special meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as the board of directors or the chief executive officer may determine.
     3. RECORD DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS.

          (c) A determination of shareholders entitled to be given notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the board of directors fixes a new record date, which the board shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
          (d) If no record date is otherwise fixed, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to be given notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders’ meeting is the day before the first notice is given to shareholders.
          (e) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting pursuant to Article I, Section 10 is the date a writing upon which the action is taken is first received by the Corporation.
     4. VOTING LIST.
          (a) After a record date is fixed for a shareholders’ meeting, the secretary shall prepare a list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to be given notice of the

 


 

meeting. The list shall be arranged by voting groups and within each voting group by class or series of shares, shall be alphabetical within each class or series, and shall show the address of, and the number of shares of each such class and series that are held by, each shareholder.
          (b) The shareholders’ list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, at the Corporation’s principal office or at a place identified in the notice of the meeting in the city where the meeting will be held.
          (c) The secretary shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting, and any shareholder or agent or attorney of a shareholder is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.
     5. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.
          (a) The secretary shall give notice to shareholders of the date, time, and place of each annual and special shareholders’ meeting no fewer than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting; except that, if the articles of incorporation are to be amended to increase the number of authorized shares, at least thirty days’ notice shall be given. Except as otherwise required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the secretary shall be required to give such notice only to shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
          (b) Notice of an annual shareholders’ meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called unless a purpose of the meeting is to consider an amendment to the articles of incorporation, a restatement of the articles of incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, disposition of substantially all of the property of the Corporation, consent by the Corporation to the disposition of property by another entity, or dissolution of the Corporation.
          (c) Notice of a special shareholders’ meeting shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
          (d) Notice of a shareholders’ meeting shall be in writing and shall be given

          (e) If an annual or special shareholders’ meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Article I, Section 3(c), notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.
          (f) If three successive notices are given by the Corporation, whether with respect to a shareholders’ meeting or otherwise, to a shareholder and are returned as undeliverable, no

2


 

further notices to such shareholder shall be necessary until another address for the shareholder is made known to the Corporation.
     6. QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. One-third of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on the matter. If a quorum does not exist with respect to any voting group, the chief executive officer or any shareholder or proxy that is present at the meeting, whether or not a member of that voting group, may adjourn the meeting to a different date, time, or place, and (subject to the next sentence) notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed pursuant to Article I, Section 3(c), notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given pursuant to Article I, Section 5 to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum exists, any matter may be acted upon that could have been acted upon at the meeting originally called; provided, however, that, if new notice is given of the adjourned meeting, then such notice shall state the purpose or purposes of the adjourned meeting sufficiently to permit action on such matters. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, including the purpose of determining that a quorum exists, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.
     7. VOTING ENTITLEMENT OF SHARES. Except as stated in the articles of incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a corresponding fractional vote, on each matter voted on at a shareholders’ meeting.
     8. PROXIES; ACCEPTANCE OF VOTES AND CONSENTS.
          (a) A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy.
          (b) An appointment of a proxy is not effective against the Corporation until the appointment is received by the Corporation. An appointment is valid for eleven months unless a different period is expressly provided in the appointment form.
          (c) The Corporation may accept or reject any appointment of a proxy, revocation of appointment of a proxy, vote, consent, waiver, or other writing purportedly signed by or for a shareholder, if such acceptance or rejection is in accordance with the provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act.
     9. WAIVER OF NOTICE.
          (a) A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the articles of incorporation or these bylaws, whether before or after the date or time stated in the notice as the date or time when any action will occur or has occurred. The waiver shall be in writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, but such delivery and filing shall not be conditions of the effectiveness of the waiver.
          (b) A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to

3


 

holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective notice, and waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
     10. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing. Action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective when the Corporation has received writings that describe and consent to the action, signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. Action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective as of the date the last writing necessary to effect the action is received by the Corporation, unless all of the writings necessary to effect the action specify another date, which may be before or after the date the writings are received by the Corporation.

A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation’s request if his or her duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. “Director” includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director.
          (c) “Expenses” includes counsel fees.
          (d) “Liability” means the obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.

          (2) If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in Article V, Section 2(a) or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in Article V, Section 2(d), the court may order such indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Article V, Section 2(d) is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
     6. DETERMINATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.
          (a) The Corporation may not indemnify a director under Article V, Section 2 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in Article V, Section 2.

               (1) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in Article V, Section 6(b)(1) or 6(b)(2), or, if a quorum of the full board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors; or
               (2) By the shareholders.
          (d) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.

MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
     This Agreement, made this 26 day of February 2004 between The Chemins Company, Inc. (“Chemins”), 1835 E. Cheyenne Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906 and LifeLine Nutraceuticals Inc Located at: 6367 S Jamaica CT, Englewood Co 80111 (“Customer”);
     WHEREAS, Customer intends to distribute a line of dietary supplement products and wishes to have Chemins manufacture such products; and
     WHEREAS, Chemins wishes to manufacture the products for Customer pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration expressed in this Agreement, It Is Hereby Agreed;
     1. PRODUCTS: The products covered by this Agreement are those products as submitted and agreed upon in accordance with a purchase order as stated in paragraph 3.2. If Customer wishes to add other products to its product line during the term of the Agreement those new products shall be covered by this Agreement provided that the parties mutually agree to their pricing structure, specifications, and production schedule.
     2. TERM: The term of this Agreement is continuous. It commences on the date of this Agreement as set out above.
     3. MANUFACTURING PROVISIONS:
          3.1 Chemins agrees to manufacture the products in accordance with the agreed upon formulation and specifications in a workmanlike manner. Additionally, Chemins promises that (A) the ingredients and other items which it supplies for the products will be of such quality that they will pass without objection in the dietary supplement industry; and (B) in the case of finished product, each item (such as a capsule or tablet) will be of superior quality. Manufacturer shall make it best efforts to fill orders in the time frame quoted on the Manufacturing Quotation.
          3.2 Purchase orders shall be used whenever possible by a Customer when placing a manufacturing order with Chemins. Each of those orders should, at a minimum, identify the product ordered, the quantity to be manufactured, any special labeling, quality, manufacturing, packaging, delivery requirements and shipping requirements, and should allow a minimum three week lead time or the time quoted on the Manufacturing Quote. Customer agrees that Chemins will not be bound by any preprinted language on purchase orders used by Customer and will only be bound by the

1


 

language on those orders which reflects the information called for in this paragraph 3.2. See paragraph 10.5 for rights and obligations upon termination.
          3.3 If the Customer wishes to initiate any product changes, whether before or after the manufacturing process has begun for those products, Chemins has the right for a period of ten days after receiving those requested changes to determine whether it can or wishes to manufacture such products. If Chemins is unable to or does not wish to manufacture the products with those changes, it will inform the Customer within the ten day period. If the parties are unable to agree to the terms regarding the product changes, Customer shall have the right to have such products manufactured by someone other than Chemins.
          3.4 Chemins is responsible for the maintenance and storage of materials and ingredients for the products and Work in Progress [WIP] inventory. Chemins will keep an accurate record of the receipt, use, and disposition of all property used in the manufacture of the products. That record will include “shop orders”, Certificates of Analysis from its suppliers, and shipment records.
          3.5 Manufacturer (Chemins) shall obtain in a reasonable time after the request is made, at its own expense, casualty and theft insurance covering property owned by Customer while in the possession of Chemins as well as product liability insurance.
          3.6 At any time during normal business hours, but not more frequently than one time per week, Customer may inspect and copy the books, records and other documents of Chemins relating to the receipt and disposition of all of Customer’s property in the possession of Chemins. Chemins will give Customer access to its premises for such purposes. Customer shall conduct such inspections in a manner that does not interfere with other ongoing operations of Chemins.
          3.7 Chemins will adhere to all governmental regulations, certifications, or registration with respect to dietary supplements as they pertain to the manufacturing facility [i.e. physical plant].
          3.8 In the case of Customer supplied ingredients, Customer agrees to provide Chemins a Certificate of Analysis with respect to each ingredient, each combination of ingredients and each product furnished in finished form (e.g. tablet or capsule) to Chemins by Customer. Each of those certificates shall be delivered along with the ingredient of product furnished to Chemins. Customer guarantees to Chemins that each representation on that certificate is true. Customer understands that Chemins will be relying on that information when and as it undertakes its manufacturing

2


 

obligations pursuant to paragraph 3.1. The certificate shall not contain any language which limits or disclaims Customer’s guarantee or liability and, to the extent it does Customer now agrees that any such limitation or disclaimer shall be of no effect.
     4. ENFORCEMENT AND PRODUCT ACTIONS: Each party shall notify the other immediately of any enforcement action, including any Warning Letter issued by the FDA to either of them, and of any product liability claim which involves the products. This applies to action or threatened action by local, state, or federal entity or by private party or entity.
     5. PRICING: The pricing for the manufacturing provided by Chemins shall be as agreed upon by Customer and Chemins at the time of the submission of a purchase order in accordance with paragraph 3.2. Those prices shall be effective from the date of this Agreement for 12 months; however, if the cost of acquisition to Chemins for the raw ingredients or other material needed to manufacture the products increases during the procurement of material for an in-process purchase order, Chemins is entitled to pass along that increase to Customer. Price change notice will be given once all “in-process” orders are complete and the Customer will be allowed to decide to accept the price change.
     6. PAYMENT TERMS: New Customers without approved credit agree to pay 50% of each Purchase Order upon the delivery of that order to Chemins and the other 50% prior to Chemins’ shipment of the products. After Customer establishes a credit history satisfactory to Chemins, Chemins will allow Customer to pay, on a “net” basis, within 30 days from the invoice date which will be the date of shipment. However, in any event, if Customer’s Account Receivable with Chemins exceeds their established credit limit, or if any invoices become over 30 days old, Chemins reserves the right to charge 18% APR interest on balance due and to discontinue immediately, its performance of any and all obligations under this Agreement until Customer arranges with Chemins, in its sole discretion, suitable payment provisions.
     7. EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP OF PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY
          7.1 Customer has developed and owns the products and formulations for the products and all patents, trademarks, copyrights and related goodwill with respect to the products, formulations and Customer’s business.
          7.2 Returned Goods: No returned goods will be accepted unless the reason for the return is a quality issue. Any products that are returned to the Chemins Company for any reason shall have pre-authorization prior to return. All return

3


 

materials must be in their original containers and must have all original labels intact. Returned goods must also be shipped back in the original shipping container.
          7.2 Customer has developed and owns trademarks, copyrights, and any related goodwill.
          7.3 Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall be adverse to any Uniform Commercial Code [the “UCC] or other rights Chemins has or may have in inventory, tools, dies, or other property for which amounts remain owing to Chemins by Customer.
     8. CONFIDENTIALITY: Other than as may be required by any applicable law, government order or regulation, or by order or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, neither party shall divulge or announce, or in any manner disclose to any third party, any confidential information or matters revealed to the other party or any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which are specific to this Agreement. Each party shall do all such things as are reasonably necessary to prevent any such information becoming known to any parry other than the parties involved with the transaction.
     9. CHEMINS’ AND CUSTOMER’S WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMERS:
          9.1 Chemins represents that it has self funded product liability coverage, which covers Chemins and its employees against any claims, suits, losses, charges, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, liabilities, and damages arising out of Chemins’ manufacture of the products and any actual or alleged defects in the products. This liability coverage contains standard exclusions from coverage. It is strongly recommended that Customer will have in effect throughout the duration of this Agreement, a policy of insurance which provides product liability insurance to Customer in an amount of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate per policy year.
          9.2 Customer acknowledges that Chemins is disclaiming any legal responsibility for the safety and effectiveness of the products manufactured by it for Customer with respect to each product’s labeling and all non-labeling promotional material. Among other things, this means that Customer is solely liable and responsible for complying with all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations such as, but not limited to, the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1994, with respect to a product’s labeling and non-labeling promotional material. Chemins agrees that, upon a request by a Customer, it will provide information and suggestions to Customer about the formulation of a product. However, Customer understands and agrees that Customer

4


 

waives any right to make or assert any type of claim against Chemins and any of its employees and agents which arises out of or is based upon such information or suggestions.
          9.3 UPC Codes: The Chemins Company is not responsible for the accuracy or function of UPC Codes placed on product labels.
          9.4 Customer agrees and guarantees to defend, indemnify and hold Chemins and its employees harmless of, from and against any injury, charges, suits, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgment, penalties, claims, liabilities or losses of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be demanded of or incurred by Chemins and its employees arising out of Customer’s association with the products. Including but not limited to, claims related to (A) the ingredients, if any, supplied by Customer; (B) the labeling of the products and non-labeling promotional material; (C) any trade secret, process, idea, method or device supplied, in any manner by Customer to Chemins; (D) the failure of the products to meet any national, state, or local laws or standards as a result of Customer conduct; or, (E) any other alleged actual or alleged wrongful action of Customer which relates to the products.
          9.5 Except for Chemins’ express warranties set out in paragraphs 3.1 and 9.1 of this Agreement, Chemins does not make and expressly disclaims and excludes any warranty, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness with respect to the products and any component, including ingredients, of those products.
     10. TERMINATION: This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days written notice to the other. In addition, either party may terminate this Agreement due to a breach by the other:
          10.1 If Manufacturer’s (Chemins’) alleged failure is based upon paragraph 3.1 of this Agreement, Chemins shall have thirty days to cure that breach (“First Cure Period”). If such a breach remains uncured for thirty days, Customer may elect to manufacture the products that are the subject of the particular default at an alternative source; if Customer makes that election, Customer shall gives Chemins written notice of its intention to manufacture at an alternative source within 48 hours of when Customer makes that election. If the problem or issue that caused that breach is not solved or satisfied within an additional ten days (“Final Cure Period”), this Agreement may be terminated at the option of Customer. If a breach occurs due to Customer’s failure to pay timely as specified in paragraph 6., Chemins may terminate this Agreement after it has given Customer 10 days written notice and if Customer has not totally satisfied its payment obligation. If a breach by either party is in regard to any other terms of the

5


 

Agreement, the breaching party shall have 20 days to cure said breach after receipt of written notification of such failure or omission from the other .
          10.2 If Customer believes that Chemins has not shipped product on or by an agreed upon date. Customer shall immediately notify Chemins by telephone, fax, letter or personal delivery of the fact and inform Chemins of an absolute deadline for such shipment. The rights and obligations of such parties at that point shall be governed by Title 4, Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
          10.3 If a breach or anticipated breach by either party of any provision of this Agreement causes or may cause the other to default on a material obligation to a third person or entity, the non-breaching party shall promptly inform the other party of the fact in order to prevent a default on the performance owed to a third party or to minimize damages, if any.
          10.4 The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or claims that a party has against the other and shall not release any party of any obligation to pay any monies that become due or owing or arose out of any transaction prior to the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.
          10.5 Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Chemins shall, within 14 calendar days, provide Customer with a statement showing the quantity and description of the products, inventory, WIP, materials, and other property belonging to Customer covered by this Agreement. Customer shall have the right to take a physical inventory to ascertain or verify such statement during normal business hours. Customer shall have the right to take possession of its property after payment is made for that property. Chemins has the right to be paid within 30 calendar days of such termination’s or expiration for all finished product, WIP, labels, other labeling, packaging, and other property directly related to the products. With respect to raw ingredients which Chemins has purchased in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Chemins will determine whether or not it can use them for any other Customer’s products; if, in Chemins’ sole discretion, Chemins cannot do so, Customer shall pay Chemins, within 30 days of Chemins’ determination, for those raw ingredients.
     11. NO PARTNERSHIP, JOINT VENTURE OR AGENCY: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute or create between the parties a partnership, joint venture or agency.
     12. FORCE MAJEURE: The parties shall be released from their respective obligations if government regulations not currently existing or other causes arising out of a state of war or other national emergency, or other causes beyond the reasonable

6


 

control of the parties such as fire, earthquake, or other casualty or natural cases, renders performance of such obligations reasonably impracticable and if such event continues for a period of 60 days,
     13. COMPLETE AGREEMENT; “DAYS”: This Agreement contains all of the Agreements and understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter. It merges all prior written or oral communications between the parties. This Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed by the party to be bound. Each reference to a day in this Agreement means a calendar day, including holidays.

3 -          PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

Improved Area, including, but not limited to, use, sales, and any other taxes (except income taxes) based on rents; the cost of all risk property insurance, including earthquake and flood, and general liability insurance, including Landlord’s estimated fair market cost, not to exceed ISO (Insurance Services Office) Manual Rates, for any of such risks against which Landlord elects to self insure; costs incurred by Landlord to comply with federal, state or local laws regarding hazardous materials; utilities not separately metered to individual tenants; costs of leasing or amortization of energy reduction devices and systems, except those included in the initial Building specifications; maintenance; repairs; janitorial service, operating supplies, property management; Building services; snow removal; landscaping; rubbish removal; tools and equipment used for the daily operation of the Improved Area; air conditioning, heating and elevator repair and maintenance; maintenance and repair of garage complex; security; property management fees; management and maintenance personnel’s wages, payroll taxes, welfare and disability benefits reasonably incurred in the operation of the Improved Area. Operating Costs shall not include monies spent for income tax accounting, expenses resulting from negligence of Landlord; expenses and costs associated with the operation of Landlord’s business organization; legal fees; space planning fees; permit, license and inspection costs incurred with respect to installation of tenant or other occupants’ improvements; real estate brokerage commissions; decorating fees; advertising costs associated with development and leasing of the Building; bad debt or rent losses of Landlord; fines, penalties, interest or other charges paid by Landlord to any other tenant or third party; overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and services in or to the Building to the extent the same exceed the costs of such goods and services rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; costs arising from latent defects in the base, shell or core of the Building or improvements installed or repaired by Landlord; interest, depreciation or expenditures of a capital nature, except to the extent that such expenditures are made for the purpose of (i) reducing energy costs, maintenance costs or other Operating Costs, (ii) extending the life of or otherwise maintaining or replacing a component of any improvements on the Improved Area, or (iii) complying with any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not required as of the date of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall amortize the costs of such equipment, improvements or alterations on a straight line basis over the useful life of the equipment, improvements, or alterations and only that portion amortized during the calendar year in questions shall be included in Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall be reasonably allocated between the Tower and the Retail Area. Also, if Landlord constructs any other buildings for lease within the boundaries of the Improved Area, Operating Costs, exclusive of those incurred directly for the Building hereunder and such other buildings, shall be reasonably allocated between the Building hereunder and such other buildings. The determination of Operating Costs and their allocation shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. If the Building and other buildings located on the Improved Area are not fully rented during all or a portion of any calendar year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the Operating Costs for such year, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Costs that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had all such buildings been one hundred percent (100%) rented, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Costs for such year.
4 -           PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

     Operating Costs allocated to Tenant shall not reflect any type or degree of service or duty performed by or through Landlord for any other tenant which is not required to be performed for Tenant under this Lease which results in a cost in excess of the services or duties required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease.
     C. Real Estate Taxes shall include, but not be limited to, all real property taxes and assessments, personal property taxes levied on the Improved Area and equipment, fixtures, and other property of Landlord located therein and used in connection with the operation thereof, and any other taxes imposed by any federal, state, county, municipal, or other governmental entity, whether assessed against Landlord and/or Tenant (except any net income tax or estate, inheritance, or succession tax payable by Landlord), and the cost to Landlord of contesting the amount or validity or applicability of any such taxes. Real Estate Taxes shall be reasonably allocated between the Tower and the Retail Area. Also, if Landlord constructs any other buildings for lease within the boundaries of the Improved Area, Real Estate Taxes shall be reasonably allocated between the Building hereunder and such other buildings. The determination of Real Estate Taxes and their allocation shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
     D. During December of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs which exceed Base Operating Costs and Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes which exceed Base Real Estate Taxes payable hereunder for the ensuing calendar year.
     On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts, provided that if such notices are not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimates until the month after such notices are given. If at any time it appears to Landlord that Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs or Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes payable hereunder for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than twenty per cent (20%), Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
     E. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of additional Rent for Operating Costs and additional Rent for Real Estate Taxes payable hereunder for such calendar year. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall credit the excess to the next succeeding monthly installment of Rent. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement. There shall be no reimbursement or allowance to Tenant if Operating Costs or
5 -          PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

Real Estate Taxes for any calendar year are less than the amounts designated as Base Operating Costs or Base Real Estate Taxes.
     F. If, for any reason other than the default of Tenant, this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the additional Rent for Operating Costs and/or Real Estate Taxes payable by Tenant applicable to the calendar year in which such termination shall occur shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including such date of termination bears to three hundred sixty-five (365).
     G. Landlord shall, upon Tenant’s written request, deliver to Tenant a written accounting showing how Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes were calculated for the past year (except Base Operating Costs and Base Real Estate Taxes). Tenant may object to the statement of Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes for the past year only if Tenant does so in writing to Landlord within ninety (90) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statements of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. In the event of a timely objection made by Tenant, Tenant and Landlord agree to cooperate in good faith to resolve any such objection. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall in no way be relieved of its obligation to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs or Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes as calculated by Landlord during the period in which it is cooperating with Landlord to resolve any objections as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 3 to the contrary, express or implied, rent payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Base Rent specified in Section 1(b), as adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Lease.
     H. Tenant or Tenant’s representative (who shall be a certified public accountant who is not paid on a commission basis), at Tenant’s expense, shall have the right during normal business hours to examine, review and audit Landlord’s and its agent’s books and records relating to items included in Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes at Landlord’s offices or in such location where such records are maintained by Landlord; provided, however, unless Tenant shall complete said audit within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of Landlord’s year-end statement (see Section 3.E above), Tenant shall forfeit its right to claim any adjustment to Tenant’s pro rata share of Operating Costs or Real Estate Taxes. In the event that Tenant’s review demonstrates any inaccuracy in the certification of Operating Costs or Real Estate Taxes, and Landlord concurs therein, any excess or deficiency owing to, or owed by, Tenant shall, as the case may be, be credited against the next installment(s) of Additional Rent due hereunder, or paid by Tenant with the next installment thereof. If there is a discrepancy in favor of Tenant of more than five percent (5%) of Operating Costs, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such audit. In all other cases, Tenant shall bear all costs incurred with respect to such audit.
6 -           PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

4. UTILITIES
     Landlord shall provide to the Leased Premises the following utility services: water, sewer, electricity. Utility charges for which separate billings are not available shall be treated as Operating Costs. If heat, light, water or any other utility services are supplied to and metered directly to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay the cost thereof, and make any required deposits related thereto. Separate additional charges may be made to Tenant, if Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, makes excessive utility system demands where such services are not separately metered. Landlord does not warrant that any of the utility services will be free from interruption caused by Unavoidable Delay, as defined in Article 23 below.
     Landlord may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of telephone circuits available to Tenant based on a pro rata share calculated by multiplying the total number of circuits available to all tenants in the Building by Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. Landlord or its representative will cause the telephone circuits/lines to be connected in and/or to the Leased Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
     Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require Tenant to remove, at Tenant’s expense, all telephone, computer, data, or other such wiring associated with the Leased Premises to the point-of-connection, except such wiring which Tenant can demonstrate was not paid for and/or installed by Tenant. The point-of-connection shall be determined by Landlord. Tenant shall repair, or reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing, any damage resulting from removal of such wiring.
5. SERVICES
     Landlord shall maintain all parking and common areas, which maintenance shall include lighting, gardening, cleaning, snow removal, sweeping, painting and window cleaning; and shall provide for the Leased Premises and the Building such other services, including, but not limited to, air-cooling, heating, replacement of building standard lamps as needed and the interior janitorial services listed on Exhibit “D”, as are necessary to maintain them in reasonably good order and condition. Landlord shall maintain and repair the exterior of the Building, its structural portions and the roof. The cost of such services shall be considered an Operating Cost. Any services provided to Tenant by Landlord which are not provided to other Tenants in the building shall be provided at Tenant’s expense.
     The Building HVAC system and lighting to the Leased Premises shall be furnished by Landlord during normal working hours (from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays, and from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, legal holidays excepted), or at such other times as requested by Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay the additional cost thereof. After hours HVAC is charged at market rate (currently $50.00 per hour) and after hours lighting is charged at market rate (currently $5.00 per hour). Charges are subject to change at Landlord’s discretion. The level of other services shall be that customarily provided by landlords of first-class buildings in the
7 -           PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

Denver, Colorado area. For purposes of this paragraph, “legal holidays” shall mean New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and such other national holidays as may hereafter be established by the United States government.
     Landlord shall not be liable in any event, nor shall Rent be abated, because of interruption of such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an interruption of services or utilities due to causes under Landlord’s reasonable control (i.e. such causes that Landlord could independently correct), and such interruption continues for more than five (5) business days, and provided that each such interruption makes the Leased Premises unsuitable for the operation of Tenant’s business therein, Tenant may equitably abate rent for the time period the Leased Premises are deemed unsuitable. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages resulting from any interruption of services. In addition, a disruption of utility service caused by the negligence, acts or omissions by Landlord, its agents, contractors, servants, or employees shall not constitute a termination of this Lease, nor shall it constitute a constructive or actual eviction of Tenant.
6. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
     A. Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all claims against each Indemnified Party for any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property in or about the Leased Premises or the Building by or from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, gas, fire, oil, electricity, or leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement, or other portion of the Leased Premises or the Building, but excluding, however, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party of which gross negligence or willful misconduct Landlord has knowledge and reasonable time to correct. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors (“Tenant Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on Tenant Indemnified Parties, arising out of any injury or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in or on the Leased Premises caused by the Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as to injury to persons or damage to property the principal cause of which is the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection therewith, arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in, on, or about the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, from any cause whatsoever. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold each Tenant Indemnified Party harmless from and against any claim, loss, or expense arising out of injury, death or property loss or damage occurring in the common areas of the Building, except where the principal cause of such injury, death, or property loss or damage is the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Tenant Indemnified Party. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable

attorneys’ fees, imposed on any Indemnified Party, arising out of any injury or death of any person or damage or destruction of property occurring in or on the common areas of the Building caused by Tenant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done that would invalidate the insurance policies required herein. Liability insurance maintained by Tenant shall be primary coverage without right of contribution by any similar insurance that may be maintained by Landlord. Certificates of insurance, acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord prior to delivery of possession of the Leased Premises and ten (10) days following each renewal date.

10 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

payable upon written invoice thereof. The limits of insurance required by this Lease, or as carried by Tenant, shall not limit the liability of Tenant or relieve Tenant of any obligation thereunder, except to the extent provided for under Article 7 (Waiver of Subrogation) below. Any deductibles selected by Tenant shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Tenant insurance requirements stipulated in Section 6.B. above are based upon current industry standards. Landlord reserves the right to require additional coverage or to increase limits as industry standards change.
     D. Should Tenant engage the services of any contractor to perform work in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall ensure that such contractor carries commercial general liability (including completed operations coverage for a period of three (3) years following completion of the work), business automobile liability, umbrella/excess liability, worker’s compensation and employers liability coverages in substantially the same amounts as are required of Tenant under this Lease. Contractor shall name Landlord, its trustees, officers, directors, members, agents, and employees, Landlord’s mortgagees, and Landlord’s representatives as additional insureds on the liability policies required hereunder.

     (1) Property Insurance. All risk property insurance on the Property. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, machinery, goods, or supplies which Tenant may keep or maintain in the Leased Premises or any alteration, addition, or improvement which Tenant may make upon the Leased Premises. In addition, Landlord may elect to secure and maintain rental income insurance. If the annual cost to Landlord for such property or rental income insurance exceeds the standard rates because of the nature of Tenant’s operations, Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate invoices, reimburse Landlord for such increased cost.
     (2) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance, which shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. Tenant shall not be named as an additional insured on any policy of liability insurance maintained by Landlord.
11 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

     (3) Other Insurance. In addition, Landlord may elect to secure any other policies that Landlord deems necessary. Landlord may elect to self-insure for the coverage required under this section.
     (4) Cost of Landlord’s Insurance. Insurance premiums paid hereunder shall be a portion of the Operating Costs described in Section 3.B. hereof.
7. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
     Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against Tenant for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of the Leased Premises to the extent that Landlord’s property insurance policies then in force insure against such damage or destruction and permit such waiver and only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for such damage or destruction. Tenant waives any and all rights of recovery against Landlord for or arising out of damage to, or destruction of any property of Tenant to the extent that Tenant’s property insurance policies then in force or the policies required by this Lease, whichever is broader, insure against such damage or destruction.
8. REPAIRS
     Except for services provided by Landlord, Tenant agrees to maintain in a clean, orderly and sanitary condition and keep in good repair, the interior of the Leased Premises, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Such maintenance and repair shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall include but not be limited to the maintenance and repair of floor covering, ceilings and walls, front and rear doors, and all interior glass on the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails to maintain or keep the Leased Premises in good repair and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord may perform any such required maintenance and repairs and the reasonable cost thereof shall be additional Rent payable by Tenant within ten (10) days of receipt of any invoice therefor from Landlord.
9. TENANT’S PROPERTY
     Furnishings, trade fixtures, computer and telephone wiring, and moveable equipment, if any, paid for and installed by Tenant, shall be the property of Tenant. On expiration of this Lease, if there is then no Event of Default, Tenant may remove any such property and shall remove any such property if directed by Landlord. Tenant shall repair, or reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of repairing, any damage resulting from removal of Tenant’s property. If Tenant fails to remove such property as required under this Lease, or in the event Tenant abandons (as defined in Article 21 of this Lease) the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned all interest in any such property remaining or then in or upon the Leased Premises and Landlord may remove the same as its own property and dispose of such property as it desires without liability to Tenant.

     Tenant may make such additional improvements or alterations to the Leased Premises as it deems necessary or desirable, but only with Landlord’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any such improvements or alterations by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s expense and shall be done by a licensed contractor approved by Landlord in conformity with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect Landlord against liens arising from work performed for Tenant. All work performed shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with applicable law and with materials (where not specifically described in the specifications) of the quality and appearance comparable to those in the Building. Prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of any materials to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall furnish Landlord, for its approval, copies of the following:
     (a) plans and specifications;
     (b) names and addresses of contractors;
     (c) copies of contracts;
     (d) necessary permits; and
     (e) such other items as may be reasonably requested by Landlord to protect itself in connection with the work.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a “Minor Alteration”); (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures, and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from outside the Leased Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the systems or structure of the Building; (d) does not require work to be performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Leased Premises; and (e) the total cost of such alteration is less than $15,000. Although Landlord’s consent shall not be required for Minor Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord three (3) business days’ prior written notice of its intent to undertake such Minor Alteration, specifying therein the scope of such Minor Alteration.
     Except as provided in Article 9 above, all alterations, fixtures (except unattached, removable trade fixtures) and improvements, including those made or installed in or upon the Leased Premises by or for Tenant, shall immediately become Landlord’s property and, at the end of the Lease Term, shall remain on the Leased Premises without compensation to Tenant.

11. CASUALTY
     If the Leased Premises or the Building are destroyed or damaged by fire, earthquake or other casualty to the extent that the Leased Premises are untenantable in whole or in part, then Landlord shall, except as provided below, proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and restore the Leased Premises or such part thereof as may be destroyed or damaged, and during the period of such rebuilding and restoration, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Rent shall be abated in the same ratio as the square footage in the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable, if any, shall bear to the total square footage in the Leased Premises. If Landlord shall reasonably determine that such destruction or damage cannot be rebuilt and restored within one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence, it shall so notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction. In such event, either Landlord or Tenant may, within twenty (20) days after such notice, terminate this Lease. If neither party terminates this Lease during such twenty (20)-day period, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall diligently proceed to rebuild and restore the Leased Premises, and Rent shall abate as set forth above. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, or licensees, there shall be no abatement of Rent.
12. ASSIGNMENT, LETTING AND SUBLETTING
     A. Tenant, its legal representatives and successors in interest, shall have no right to assign, let or sublet or permit assigning, letting or subletting of this Lease, the Leased Premises or any part thereof, respectively, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. Any consent of Landlord, unless specifically stated therein, shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, and a consent by Landlord to any one assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any other or subsequent assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as it is not in default at the time such assignment or subletting is made, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Leased Premises without Landlord’s consent to any of the following: (i) any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or under control with Tenant, provided that the net worth of such corporation at the time of the proposed sublease or assignment is equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease; (ii) any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant, provided that the resulting corporation has a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease; or (iii) any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Leased Premises, provided that such person or entity has a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease. Although Landlord’s prior consent is not required for Tenant to assign or sublease the Lease to the foregoing persons or entities, (a) Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice of the pending transfer and evidence of the transferee’s net worth such that Landlord can confirm the net worth requirements set forth above, (b) the permitted assignees or subtenants must expressly agree in writing to
14 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and, (c) unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall not be released from any obligations under this Lease despite any such sublease or assignment.
     B. In addition to any other reasonable basis, Landlord shall be deemed to be reasonably withholding its consent to any assignment, letting or subletting requiring its consent, if Tenant is in default under any of the terms of this Lease at the time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, or if such assignment, letting or subletting would result in the assignment, leasing or subleasing of the Leased Premises to any party, business or lessee:
     (1) who proposes to conduct a business therein which is not in conformance with the provisions of Article 2 hereof; or
     (2) who is then a lessee, sublessee or otherwise an occupant of the Building if the Landlord has, or will have during the ensuing six (6) months, suitable space for rent in the Building; or
     (3) whose business is of a character which is not, in Landlord’s opinion, consistent with the character of the Building.
     C. In the event that Tenant proposes any assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Leased Premises requiring landlord’s consent, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days before the date on which such assignment or sublease is to be effective and, as included in such notice, furnish Landlord with (a) the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee (the “Transferee”), (b) a detailed description of the business of the Transferee, (c) financial statements of the Transferee (audited if available), (d) all written agreements governing the sublease, and (e) any other information reasonably requested by Landlord with respect to the assignment, sublease or the Transferee. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval or disapproval of the proposed assignment or sublease within fourteen (14) days after Landlord receives Tenant’s request and all documents and information required in the preceding sentence. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease of this Lease, the appropriate parties shall enter into an assignment or consent to sublease agreement drafted by Landlord. Consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not include consent to the assignment or transferring of any lease renewal options, option rights to additional space or the Leased Premises, special privileges or extra services granted to Tenant under this Lease, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing. In the event of an assignment or sublease, any such options or privileges granted to Tenant shall be void and of no effect.
     D. In the event Tenant makes a request for Landlord’s consent in accordance with subparagraph (C) above, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Tenant’s request to recapture the space described in Tenant’s request, and such recapture notice shall, if given, cancel and terminate this Lease with
15 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

respect to the space therein described as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice. If Tenant’s request shall cover all of the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall have exercised its foregoing recapture right, the term of this Lease shall expire and end on the date stated in Tenant’s request as fully and completely as if that date had been herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the term. If, however, this Lease be canceled with respect to less than the entire Leased Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted by Landlord based upon the number of rentable square feet within the Leased Premises so remaining after the “recapture” and such rent shall be reduced accordingly from and after the termination date for said portion, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. The rent adjustments provided for herein shall be evidenced by an amendment to Lease executed by Landlord and Tenant. If this Lease shall be terminated in the manner aforesaid, either as to the entire Leased Premises or only a portion thereof, to such extent the term of this Lease shall end upon the appropriate effective date of the proposed sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this Lease for such expiration, and in the event of a termination affecting less than the entire Leased Premises, Tenant shall surrender such portion of the Leased Premises affected thereby and leave the same in good order and condition. In the event of any termination pursuant to this paragraph, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commission obligation on the part of Landlord with respect to that part of this Lease so terminated, and any commission which may be due and owing as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting, whether or not the subject portion of the Leased Premises is “recaptured” pursuant thereto and rented by Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other tenant. If Landlord exercises its recapture right under this paragraph, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a direct lease arrangement with Tenant’s proposed assignee or subtenant upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, which may include those terms negotiated between Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if Landlord recaptures the Leased Premises or a portion thereof and enters into a direct lease with the proposed assignee or subtenant on the same terms and conditions offered by Tenant to the proposed assignee or subtenant, then Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of any commissions owing as a result of the assignment or subletting.
     E. Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all net profit derived by Tenant from any assignment or subletting. For purposes of the foregoing, “net profit” shall be deemed to be the amount of all rent payable by such assignee or sublessee in any given year of the Lease Term in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during such year less the following verifiable costs and expenses: (i) any improvement allowance or other economic concession paid by Tenant to the assignee/subtenant; (ii) broker’s commissions paid by Tenant with regard to the subletting; (iii) attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the assignment or sublease; (iv) lease takeover payments; (v) costs of advertising the Leased Premises for sublease, and (vi) reasonable costs incurred by Tenant to make improvements to the Leased Premises for the assignee/subtenant to occupy the Leased Premises. If a part of the consideration for such assignment or subletting shall be payable other than in cash, the payment to Landlord shall be in cash for its share of any non-cash consideration based upon the fair market value thereof. Tenant shall and hereby agrees that it will furnish to Landlord upon
16 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

request from Landlord a complete statement, certified by an officer or representative of Tenant with authority to do so, setting forth in detail the computation of all net profit derived and to be derived from such assignment or subletting, such computation to be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant agrees that Landlord or its authorized representatives shall be given access at all reasonable times to the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any such assignment or subletting, and Landlord shall have the right to make copies thereof. The percentage of Tenant’s profit due Landlord hereunder shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt by Tenant of all payments made from time to time by such assignee or sublessee to Tenant.
     F. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, to prepare and negotiate all documents in connection with any requested sublease or assignment, which fee and costs shall not exceed $1000.00 for any proposed assignment or subletting.
13. LIENS AND INSOLVENCY
     Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises, the Building and the Improved Area free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant. If Tenant becomes insolvent or voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or if a receiver, trustee or other liquidating officer is appointed for the business or property of Tenant, Landlord shall have the right and option at any time thereafter to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant.
14. CONDEMNATION
     If all or any part of the Leased Premises are taken under power of eminent domain or like power, or sold under imminent threat thereof to any public authority or private entity having such power, this Lease shall terminate as to the part of the Leased Premises so taken or sold, effective as of the date possession is required to be delivered to such authority or entity. Rent for the remaining Lease Term shall be reduced in the proportion that the Tenant’s Total Square Footage is reduced by the taking. If a partial taking or sale of the Building or the Leased Premises (i) substantially reduces the area of the Leased Premises resulting in a substantial inability of Tenant to use the Leased Premises for Tenant’s business purposes as determined by Tenant in its reasonable business judgment exercised in good faith, or (ii) renders the Building unviable to Landlord, Tenant, in the case of clause (i), or Landlord, in the case of clause (ii) may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the terminating party receives a written notice of the portion to be taken or sold, such termination to be effective one-hundred- eighty (180) days thereafter, or when the portion is taken or sold, whichever is sooner. All condemnation awards and similar payments shall be paid and belong to Landlord, except any amounts awarded or paid specifically for Tenant’s trade fixtures and relocation costs, provided such awards do not reduce Landlord’s award. Nothing contained herein shall diminish Tenant’s right to deal on its own behalf with the condemning authority.

15. CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS [Intentionally omitted]
16. OCCUPANCY
     Tenant acknowledges that the Leased Premises is being leased to Tenant in its “as-is” condition and Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents that it has not received any written notice from any federal, state, municipal or other governmental agency of any material claim related to the Building or the Building’s material noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord further agrees that, prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall undertake those repairs to the Leased Premises set forth in Exhibit “C attached hereto. Tenant may use and occupy the Leased Premises beginning fifteen (15) days prior to the Lease Commencement Date for the purpose of completing alterations and installing furniture or equipment in the Leased Premises. During such period, Tenant agrees to observe and perform all the provisions of this Lease except those which require the payment of Rent; provided, however, if Tenant commences business in any part of the Leased Premises prior to commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord rent (“Occupancy Rent”) for each day prior to the Lease Commencement Date, calculated on the basis of the per diem Rent and all other sums which would be due to Landlord from Tenant if the Lease Term had commenced.
17. RULES AND REGULATIONS
     Tenant covenants that Tenant and its agents, employees, invitees, or those claiming under Tenant, will at all times observe, perform and abide by all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord, from time to time, as long as such rules and regulations do not conflict with, or unreasonably modify, any provision of this Lease. Landlord’s rules and regulations in effect on the date hereof are attached hereto as Exhibit “F”.
18. PARKING
     Landlord shall provide parking within a seven level structure (1-6 covered) contiguous to the Building. Within said structure, Tenant may lease from Landlord seventeen (17) unreserved and two (2) reserved parking spaces for use by the Tenant at the then-current monthly market rate, to be determined by Landlord in its sole discretion based on the parking charges assessed by other Class A buildings with structured parking in the Denver Tech Center/Greenwood Plaza area. The current monthly market rate for unreserved parking spaces is Fifty-five and no/100 Dollars ($55,00) per space per month. The current monthly market rate for reserved parking spaces is Seventy-five and no/100 Dollars ($75.00) per space per month. Tenant shall pay the foregoing parking charges to Landlord or its designee on the first day of each month of the Lease Term. All present and future parking shall be within such parking areas and not within the street right-of-way. There shall be no on-street parking. Tenant may not lease parking spaces within said structure from anyone other than Landlord. Tenant may not sublease parking spaces within
18 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

said structure to anyone other than a subtenant to whom an assignment, letting, or subletting was made pursuant to Article 12 hereof. The number of parking spaces allotted to Tenant under this paragraph has been calculated based on a ratio of 3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Leased Premises. Therefore, if during the original or renewal term of this Lease the square footage of the Leased Premises should change, the number of parking spaces granted to Tenant shall be modified accordingly.
19. ACCESS
     Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors may enter the Leased Premises at reasonable times (and, during normal business hours, upon such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances) for the purpose of inspecting, altering or repairing the Leased Premises or other portions of the building and for the purpose of ascertaining compliance by Tenant with the provisions of this Lease. Landlord may also show the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, renters (only during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term) or lenders during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business operations or with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall repair, at Landlord’s expense, any damage to the Leased Premises resulting from the exercise of the foregoing rights by Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors.
20. SIGNS
     All signs and symbols placed on the doors or windows or elsewhere about the Leased Premises, or upon any other part of the Building, including building directories, shall be subject to the approval of Landlord. Tenant shall have no right to place signs outside the Building and within the Improved Area. As soon as reasonably possible after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall place Tenant’s name on the main building lobby directory, provide building standard signage in the elevator lobby of the floor on which the Leased Premises are located, and building standard suite signage on or about the entry door to the Leased Premises (the “Initial Signage”). The cost to complete the Initial Signage shall be borne by Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to place signs within the interior of the Leased Premises without having first obtained Landlord’s approval, provided that such signage is not visible from common areas of the Building, including, but not limited to, elevators and common area corridors. Upon expiration of this Lease, all signs installed by Tenant shall be removed and any damage resulting therefrom shall be promptly repaired, or such removal and repair may be done by Landlord and the cost thereof charged to Tenant as additional Rent hereunder.
21. TENANT’S DEFAULT
     It shall be an “Event of Default” if (i) Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge or payment required of Tenant hereunder when due and such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord; (ii) Tenant violates or fails to perform any of
19 –       PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

the other conditions, covenants or agreements herein made by Tenant, and such violation or failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord or if such default cannot be cured within fifteen (15) days if Tenant commences to cure the default within the fifteen (15)-day period, but fails to proceed diligently and fully cure the default within thirty (30) days; (iii) Tenant makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or files a petition for bankruptcy or other reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief; (iv) a proceeding is filed against Tenant seeking any relief mentioned in (iii) above which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after filing; (v) a trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed for Tenant or a substantial part of its property; (vi) Tenant’s interest under this Lease is taken upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant or shall be subject to any attachment by or on behalf of any creditor of Tenant; (vii) Tenant mortgages, assigns (except as expressly permitted in this Lease) or otherwise encumbers Tenant’s interest under this Lease; or (viii) Tenant abandons the Leased Premises (which shall be defined as failure to occupy the Leased Premises for a period of 30 consecutive days).
     If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may: (i) without obligation to do so and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, make any payment or take any action Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to cure such Event of Default, and the cost thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand; (ii) terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant as of the date such notice is given or as of any other date specified in such notice; (iii) with or without terminating this Lease, reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises by legal proceedings; (iv) with or without terminating this Lease, if Tenant has vacated or abandoned the Leased Premises, reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, and remove the effects therein without liability for any damages thereto and without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any other remedies of Landlord hereunder; and (v) exercise any other legal remedy, including, without limitation, equitable remedies, on account of such Event of Default. All remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any of such remedies shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy.
     Should Landlord elect to reenter or take possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may, from time to time, without any obligation to do so and without terminating this Lease, relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof on behalf of Tenant for such term or terms and at such rent or rents, and upon such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may deem advisable in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, giving concessions, free rent, and payment of concessions, but subject to Landlord’s duty to mitigate its damages), with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. No such reentry or taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to Tenant by Landlord, nor shall it preclude Landlord from terminating this Lease at a later time by giving written notice to Tenant.
20 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

     If Landlord elects to take possession without terminating this Lease, then such repossession shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations and liabilities under this Lease, all of which shall survive such repossession. In the event of such repossession, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Rent, all Rent which would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises, after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, and rental concessions. Tenant shall pay such Rent to Landlord on the days on which such Rent would have been payable hereunder if possession had not been retaken.
     If, however, this Lease is terminated by Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages from Tenant, in addition to all other damage suffered by Landlord on account of any Event of Default, the present value of all of the Rent which would have been due for the remainder of the Lease Term had this Lease not been terminated (less the present value of any amounts Tenant proves Landlord has received or will receive from the reletting of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term), plus all of Landlord’s costs of reletting the Leased Premises, including repair, alteration, and preparation of the Leased Premises for reletting, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, and rental concessions. Said amount shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord. Any amount due to Landlord hereunder may be collected after termination.
22. PERSONAL PROPERTY LIEN [Intentionally omitted]
23. QUIET ENJOYMENT, INABILITY TO PERFORM
     A. If, and so long as, Tenant pays Rent and keeps and performs each and every term, covenant and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Leased Premises without hindrance or molestation by Landlord, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and the Superior Instruments, as defined and provided in Article 35 below.
     B. Landlord shall pay all taxes and assessments so as not to jeopardize Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord shall be entitled to contest any tax or assessment which it deems to be improperly levied against the Improved Area or any part thereof, so long as Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is not interfered with.
     C. Except as provided in this Lease, this Lease and the obligations of Tenant to pay Rent and perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord, due to Unavoidable Delay (as defined below), is (a) unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, or (b) unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied, or (c) unable to make or delayed in making any repairs, replacements, additions, alterations or decorations, or (d) unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment or
21 –      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

fixtures. Landlord shall in each instance exercise reasonable diligence to effect performance when and as soon as possible.
     “Unavoidable Delay” shall mean any and all delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including without limitation, delay caused by Tenant, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations or controls, undue delays by governmental authorities, order of civil, military, or naval authority, governmental preemption, strikes, labor disputes, lockouts, shortage of labor or materials, inability to obtain materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, default of any contractor or subcontractor, acts of God, fire, earthquake, floods, explosions, actions of the elements, extreme weather conditions, enemy action, civil commotion, riot or insurrection, delays in obtaining governmental permits or approvals and any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.
24. HOLD OVER TENANCY
     If (without execution of a new lease or written extension) Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant may, at Landlord’s election, be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a tenant from month to month, which tenancy may be terminated as provided by law. During such tenancy, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord one hundred fifty percent (150%) of (i) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs and (ii) the then current Base Rent, as set forth herein, unless a different rate is agreed upon in writing, and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions as herein specified, so far as applicable.
25. ATTORNEYS’ FEES
     In the event either party requires the services of any attorney in connection with enforcing the terms of this Lease, or in the event suit is brought for the recovery of any Rent due under this Lease, or for the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or for the restitution of the Leased Premises to Landlord and/or eviction of Tenant during the Lease Term, or after the expiration thereof, the party prevailing in any such legal action shall be awarded all legal costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees, whether incurred at trial, on appeal or otherwise.
26. AMENDMENT, WAIVER
     This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No prior agreement or understanding shall be effective. This Lease shall not be amended or modified except in writing by both parties. No covenant or term of this Lease shall be waived except with the express written consent of the waiving party whose forbearance or indulgence in any regard shall not constitute a waiver of such covenant or term. Failure to exercise any right in one or more instances shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to strict performance or as an amendment to this Lease.

     Within ten (10) days after request therefor by Landlord, its agents, successors or assigns, Tenant shall deliver, in recordable form, a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to Landlord, together with a true and correct copy of this Lease, certifying, if applicable (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification, (ii) the amount, if any, of prepaid Rent and security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, (iii) that Landlord, as of the date of the certificate, has performed all of its obligations due to be performed under this Lease and that there are no defenses, counterclaims, deductions or offsets outstanding, or other excuses for Tenant’s performance under this Lease, or stating those claimed by Tenant, and (iv) any other fact reasonably requested by Landlord or such proposed mortgagee or purchaser, which does not modify or conflict with Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant’s failure to deliver said statement in time shall be conclusive upon Tenant: (a) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim defenses or deduction against Rent or Landlord hereunder; and (c) that no more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance. The foregoing certifications by Tenant shall be set forth on an estoppel certificate in substantially the same form as the one attached hereto as Exhibit “H.”
33. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
     No receipt and retention by Landlord of any payment tendered by Tenant in connection with this Lease will give rise to, or support, or constitute an accord and satisfaction, notwithstanding any accompanying statement, instruction or other assertion to the contrary (whether by notation on a check or in a transmittal letter or otherwise), unless Landlord expressly agrees to an accord and satisfaction in a separate writing duly executed by the appropriate persons. Landlord may receive and retain, absolutely and for itself, any and all payments so tendered, notwithstanding any accompanying instructions by Tenant to the contrary. Landlord will be entitled to treat any such payments as being received on account of any item or items or Rent, interest, expenses or damage due in connection herewith in such amounts and in such order as Landlord may determine at its sole option.
34. SEVERABILITY
     The parties intend this Lease to be legally valid and enforceable in accordance with all of its terms to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any term hereof shall be finally held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that such term shall be stricken from this Lease, the same as if it never had been contained herein. Such invalidity or unenforceability shall not extend to or otherwise affect any other term of this Lease, and the unaffected terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law, the same as if such stricken term never had been contained herein.

35. SUBORDINATION
     The rights of Tenant hereunder are, and shall be, at the election of any mortgagee, subject and subordinate to the lien of any deeds of trust, mortgages, the encumbrance of any leasehold financing, or the lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force against the Improved Area or the Building, and to all advances made, or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof (herein referred to as the “Superior Instruments”). The foregoing notwithstanding, for any liens or Superior Instruments filed of record after the execution of this Lease, the rights of Tenant under this Lease shall not be subject or subordinated to such liens or Superior Instruments unless the holders thereof execute an agreement in form and substance similar to the Attornment and Nondisturbance Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “G”. If requested, Tenant agrees to execute whatever reasonable documentation may be required to further effectuate the provisions of this paragraph.
     Tenant agrees to attorn to any purchaser of the Building, or any other successor or assign of Landlord through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, in return for and upon delivery to Tenant by such purchaser or mortgagee, as the case may be, of an agreement substantially in the form of the Attornment and Nondisturbance Agreement.
36. TIME
     Time is of the essence hereof.
37. APPLICABLE LAW
     This Lease shall be construed according to the local laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law, and venue shall be in Arapahoe County, Colorado.
38. BROKER’S INDEMNIFICATION
     As part of the consideration for the granting of this Lease, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that no broker or agent negotiated or was instrumental in the negotiation or consummation of this Lease.

26 -      PLAZA TOWER ONE LEASE

 


 

stipulated. Said sum shall not be applicable by the Tenant to the payment of Rent or any other charges for which it may become liable under this Lease and such deposit shall in no way relieve Tenant from the faithful and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereby imposed upon it. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of rentals or the condition of the Premises at Lease Expiration, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rental or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit lawful money or a cashiers check with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord is not a trustee of the Security Deposit and may use it in ordinary business, transfer it, or assign it, or use it in any combination of such ways. Landlord agrees that at the termination of this Lease, or at the termination of any extension hereof, and provided that the Tenant has complied in all respects with the terms, covenants and conditions herein, that portion of the deposit still held by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant thirty (30) days after the Leased Premises have been vacated in good order and condition. In the event of a sale or leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security deposit to its vendee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the security deposit. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said deposit. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security deposit to a new landlord. Within thirty (30) days after the beginning of the thirteenth month of the Lease Term, if Tenant has not been in breach of the Lease at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant Ten Thousand Thirty-eight and no/100 Dollars ($10,038.00) of the Security Deposit. Within thirty (30) days after the beginning of the twenty-fifth month of the Lease term, if Tenant has not been in breach of the Lease at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant an additional Ten Thousand Thirty-eight and no/100 Dollars ($10,038.00) of the Security Deposit.
40. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
     Conflicts of interest relating to this Lease are strictly prohibited. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Tenant nor any director, employee or agent of Tenant, shall give to or receive from any director, employee or agent of Landlord any gift, entertainment or other favor of significant value, or any commission, fee or rebate. Likewise, neither Tenant nor any director, employee or agent of Tenant shall enter into any business relationship with any director, employee or agent of Landlord or of any affiliate of Landlord), unless such person is acting for and on behalf of Landlord, without prior written notification thereof to Landlord.
