LEASE AGREEMENT

 

This LEASE is made and entered into this 22 day of August, 2000 by and between Vista Enterprises (hereinafter called “Landlord”) and AlphaSmart (hereinafter called “Tenant”).

 

WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the payment of rent and the keeping and performance of the covenants and agreements by Tenant, as hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby leases and demises unto Tenant the premises known and described as 1160 South State Street #240 and #250, Orem, UT 84097 (hereinafter referred to as “leased premises,” or “demised premises,” or “premises”).

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same, with all appurtenances, unto the Tenant from 12 o’clock on the 1st day of September, 2000 for, during, and until 12 o’clock noon on the 31st day of August, 2001, at and for a rental for the full term aforesaid in the sum of Nineteen Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Dollars ($19740.00), payable in monthly installments of One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Five Dollars ($1645.00), commencing September 1, 2000 and on or before the first day of each month thereafter during the term hereof. All rents shall be paid by Tenant in advance without notice, at the office of Landlord at 1156 South State #202, Orem, Utah 84097.

 

1. Services. Landlord agrees, without extra charge, except as provided below, during the period Tenant shaft occupy said premises under the terms hereof to furnish the services below a heat when and as reasonably required; b. air conditioning when and as reasonably required; c. water and sewer for lavatory purposes’ d. garbage service; e. cleaning services customary in common areas only, f. electric current for lighting the premises and public halls, but it is understood that Tenant shall use such electric current as shall be supplied by Landlord only for lighting and general customary office equipment, and shall pay Landlord, upon demand, for use of electric current for any other purpose or for any unreasonable waste of electric current. Landlord shall not furnish electric current for use in connection with any such electrical equipment not specified above. If such are employed, Tenant shall install and pay for a check meter and shall pay monthly for the use of the additional current as shown on such check meter.

 

2. Interruption or Discontinuance of Landlord’s Services. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for failure to supply any such heating, air conditioning, janitor, or lighting service during any period when Landlord uses reasonable diligence to supply such services, it being understood that Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue such services, or any of them, at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations, or improvements, or whenever by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, ads of God, or any other happening beyond control of Landlord during which Landlord is unable to furnish such services. Tenant further agrees that If any payment of rent as herein provided shall remain unpaid for more than fifteen (15) days after it shall become due, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, discontinue furnishing heat, air conditioning, janitor, and lighting services, or any of them, until all arrears of rent shall have been paid in full, and Landlord shall not be liable for damages to person or property for any such discontinuance, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as an eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.


3. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees to warrant and defend Tenant in the quiet enjoyment and possession of the leased premises during the term of this lease, so long as Tenant Is not In default in any respect hereunder.

 

4. Payment of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay all rents and sums provided to be paid to Landlord hereunder at the times and in the manner herein provided. Rent not paid on or before the first day of each month shall bear interest at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum from the date due until paid.

 

Tenant acknowledges that late payments by Tenant to Landlord of any payment required herein will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix, Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and notes secured by any encumbrance covering the premises. Therefore, if any Installment of rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord on or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Any acceptance of any Note charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord. Should any monthly rental payment become more than thirty (30) days delinquent, then the entire unpaid balance of the lease term shall immediately become due and payable.

 

5. Rental Adjustments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after notification by Landlord, as additional rent for the lease year, a proportionate share of any assessment greater than the assessment for the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of such assessment, including, but not limited to, any assessment or installment thereof for public betterments and/or improvements which may be levied upon the said land and building; and/or real estate taxes payable with respect to the building and the land on which it is located and adjacent parking areas, whether by reason of an increase in either the tax rate or the assessed valuation or by reason of the levy, assessment, or imposition of any tax on real estate as such not now levied, assessed, or imposed, or for any other reason. Landlord shall take the benefit of the provisions of any statute or ordinance permitting any such assessment to be paid over a period of time, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay only the said percentage of the installments and applicable interest on any such assessments which shall become due and payable during the term of this lease. Said proportionate share shall be determined by multiplying the total increases by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total square footage leased to Tenant,

 

including a proportionate share of any common areas, and the denominator of which is the total square footage of the building in which the leased premises are located.

 

In the event that Landlord’s averaged monthly operating expenses incurred with respect to the building and parking areas, of which the demised premises form a part, are greater than the averaged monthly operating expenses incurred by the Landlord with respect to said building and parking areas in the 12-month period immediately prior to the commencement date of this lease, then Tenant shall pay a proportionate share of such established increases in operating expenses. Should the increase in

 

2


the operating expenses be immediately determinable, as in the case of increases in utility rates, insurance, of janitorial costs, then Tenant’s proportionate amount of that increase shall be computed by Landlord and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after notification of Landlord, as additional rent for the lease year or any portion thereof in which the same shall apply. In the event that such Increase in operating expenses cannot be determined on a monthly basis, but only after the building has been operated for a year and comparative figures made available, then in such event Landlord shall determine the amount of the increase in operating expenses on either a calendar year basis or a lease year basis, and Tenant shall make payment to Landlord as additional rent the proportionate share d such increase, with payment to be made within thirty (30) days after notification of Landlord.

 

For the purpose d the above paragraph, “operating expenses” shall include, but not be limited to, the following expenses incurred by the Landlord with respect to the building and parking areas of which the demised premises form a part: janitorial, management, electricity, gas, utility taxes, water, sewer, garbage, casualty and liability insurance, window cleaning, expenses for general repair work including wages, payroll taxes, workmen’s compensation, and all other expenses paid in connection with the operation of said building. Landlord, within ten (10) days after written request by Tenant, but not sooner than thirty (30) days after Landlord has given notice of the increase in operating expenses, shall have available at the office of Landlord a summary schedule of such operating expenses indicating the amount of Increases involved in the expenses. The above “operating expenses” apply only in cases where the above-described fees are paid by Landlord.

 

If a lease is written for any period of time greater than one (1) year, it is understood that at the end of the initial 12-month period and the conclusion of any additional 12-month periods there will be an automatic rental Increase at least equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index over the preceding twelve (12) months. It is understood that if all increases in the costs of operation have not already been passed on to the Tenant, the annual increase may exceed the Consumer Price Index by the amount of said Increases.

 

6. Character of Occupancy. Tenant agrees to occupy the leased premises only as offices and to use them in a careful, safe, and proper manner; to pay on demand for any damage to the premises caused by misuse and/or abuse of such premises by Tenant, its agents or employees; not to use or permit the leased premises to be used for any purposes prohibited by any applicable law, and not to commit waste, nor suffer or permit waste to be committed, nor permit any nuisance on or in the leased premises. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other Tenants or occupants of the building or injure or annoy them.

 

7. Alterations by Landlord. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord at any reasonable time to enter the leased premises to examine and inspect the same or perform such maintenance, repairs, additions, or alterations as Landlord may deem necessary or proper for the safety, improvement, or preservation thereof, or of other portions of the building, without the same constituting any eviction, nor entitling the Tenant to any abatement of rent it is expressly understood that Landlord shall at all times have the right at its election to make such alterations or changes in other portions of the building as it may from time to time deem necessary and desirable as long as such alterations and changes do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the leased premises.

 

3


8. Alterations by Tenant. Tenant agrees to make no alterations in or additions to the leased premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord. All alterations, additions, or improvements made by any party; pursuant to this paragraph, shall be the expense of Tenant, including, by way of illustration and not by limitation, all partitions, paneling, carpeting, and light fixtures, (but not including movable office furniture not attached to the building), and shall be deemed a part of the real estate and the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with said premises as a part thereof without molestation, disturbance, or injury at the end of said term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, unless the Landlord by notice given to the Tenant prior to the end of the term or within seven (7) days after expiration of the term, shall elect to have Tenant remove all or any of said alterations, additions, or improvements, and in such event, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, promptly remove said alterations, additions, and improvements and restore the Leased premises to the condition in which said leased premises were prior to the making of the same, reasonable wear excepted. In the event that Tenant performs alterations to the premises, Tenant is required to keep the premises free of mechanic’s liens, shall Indemnify Landlord therefrom, and shall, prior and subsequent to the performance of work by any party, require all parties performing such alterations to waive their lieu rights in writing and deliver the original of said waivers to Landlord.

 

9. Repairs. Tenant agrees to keep the leased premises in as good order, condition, and repair as when they were entered, ordinary wear excepted unless caused by the negligence of Tenant, its agents, invitees, customers, licensees, or employees.

 

10. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant agrees to sublet no part of the leased premises, nor to assign this lease or any Interest therein without the written consent of the Landlord first being obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and notwithstanding the consent of the Landlord, any such subletting or assignments shall not relieve the Tenant of its primary obligations hereunder to the Landlord. If this lease be assigned, or if the clemised premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shelf be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as the Tenant hereof, or a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of the Tenant herein contained. Consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not in anywise be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.

 

If Landlord elects to consent to a subletting or assignment, a condition of such consent is the agreement of the parties that Landlord shall receive the full and complete rental payment of subtenant or assignee, though such payments may be in excess of the original rental between Landlord and Tenant. It is the intent and understanding of the parties to this agreement that Tenant shall not receive any monetary benefit in excess of the actual rental obligation of Tenant, as agreed between the original Tenant and Landlord, through a sublease or assignment to a third party. Assignee, subtenant, or occupant will be bound by the terms of this tease.

 

11. Injury To Person or Property. Tenant agrees neither to hold nor to attempt to hold Landlord liable for any Injury or damage, either proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by fire,

 

4


water, or any repairs, alterations, injury, or accident to the leased premises, to adjacent premises, or to other parts of the building not herein demised, whether by reason of the negligence or fault of the owners or occupants thereof, or any other person, or otherwise. All property of Tenant kept or stored in the demised premises shall be at the sole risk of Tenant. Tenant shall obtain and maintain throughout the term of this lease adequate fire and extended coverage on all such property.

13. Acceptance of Premises by Tenant. Taking possession of the leased premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence of Tenants acceptance of the premises and that said premises were in good and satisfactory condition when possession was taken and an acknowledgement of completion in full accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

14. Fire and Restoration of Premises. If the demised premises, or said building, shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty as to render said premises wholly untenantable, and if such damage shall be so great that a competent architect, in good standing, selected by the Landlord shall certify in writing to the Landlord and the Tenant that said premises, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, cannot be made fit for occupancy within ninety (90) days from the happening thereof, then this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of the occurrence of such damage; and the Tenant thereupon shall surrender to the Landlord said premises and all interest therein hereunder, and the Landlord may reenter, take possession of said premises, and remove the Tenant therefrom, and the Landlord shall be released from all liability in connection with this lease.
