This THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (“Third Amendment”) is made and entered into effective as of March 15, 2013, by and between NOP COTTONWOOD 2825, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and FUSION-IO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

R E C I T A L S :

A. Landlord and Fusion Multisystems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Fusion Multisystems”) entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated as of May 28, 2010 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain (i) First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of August 16, 2011 (the “First Amendment”), between Landlord and Tenant (as successor-in-interest to Fusion Multisystems as Tenant under the Original Lease), and (ii) Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of December 2, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”), between Landlord and Tenant.

B. The Original Lease, First Amendment and Second Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”.

C. Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord currently leases to Tenant and Tenant currently leases from Landlord approximately 41,367 square feet of Rentable Area (34,753 square feet of usable area) (the “Existing Premises”) on the first (1st) and second (2nd) floors of that certain office building addressed as 2825 East Cottonwood Parkway, Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Building”).

D. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease to (i) expand the Existing Premises by that certain space depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto, containing approximately 3,509 square feet of Rentable Area (2,948 square feet of usable area) commonly known as Suite 350 and located on the third (3rd) floor of the Building (the “Second Expansion Space”), and (ii) modify various terms and provisions of the Lease, all as hereinafter provided.

A G R E E M E N T :

1. Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, all capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment shall have the same meaning given such terms in the Lease.

2. Second Expansion Space.

2.1. Addition of Second Expansion Space. The Second Expansion Space shall be leased for a term (the “Second Expansion Space Term”) which commences upon the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date (as defined below) and expires coterminously with Tenant’s lease of the Existing Premises (i.e., on September 30, 2021), unless sooner terminated (or extended) as provided in the Lease (as amended hereby), and upon the same terms and


conditions set forth in the Lease, subject to the modifications set forth in this Third Amendment. From and after the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Space shall be collectively referred to as the “Premises” and shall contain a total of approximately 44,876 square feet of Rentable Area and 37,701 square feet of usable area.

2.2. Second Expansion Space Commencement Date. For purposes of this Third Amendment, the “Second Expansion Space Commencement Date” shall mean the earlier of: (i) June 22, 2013 (as may be extended as provided hereinbelow); (ii) the date Tenant commences business operations in all or any portion of the Second Expansion Space; and (iii) the date of Substantial Completion of the Second Expansion Space. “Substantial Completion of the Second Expansion Space” shall occur upon the date that both (A) the SEP Refurbishment Work (as defined below) for the Second Expansion Space has been substantially completed, minor punch-list items excepted (as reasonably determined by Landlord), in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Lease, and (B) a certificate of occupancy, temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent permitting Tenant to occupy the Second Expansion Space has been issued by the applicable governmental agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant beyond March 22, 2013, then the June 22, 2013 date set forth in clause (i) hereinabove shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day Landlord is so delayed in delivering possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant beyond March 22, 2013. In addition, to the extent that Substantial Completion of the Second Expansion Space is actually delayed beyond June 22, 2013 as a result of any Landlord Delays (as defined below), then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 below, the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days of any such Landlord Delays; provided, however, in no event shall the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date be delayed pursuant to this Section 2.2 beyond the date Tenant commences business operations in all or any portion of the Second Expansion Space.

2.3. Landlord Delays. For purposes hereof, the phrase “Landlord Delays” shall mean any actual delay in Substantial Completion of the Second Expansion Space beyond June 20, 2013 as a result of (i) Landlord’s failure to timely approve or disapprove any matter requiring Landlord’s approval pursuant to Article 11 of the Original Lease, (ii) Landlord’s failure to timely disburse the SEP Refurbishment Allowance (as defined in and pursuant to Section 6.2 below), or (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary:

(A) no Landlord Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless Tenant has delivered to Landlord written notice (the “Delay Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the actions, inactions or circumstances Tenant claims constitute such Landlord Delays within three (3) business days after Tenant becomes aware of the occurrence of the action, inactions or circumstances; and

(B) no Landlord Delay shall be deemed to have occurred if Landlord cures the event which would otherwise constitute such Landlord Delay within one (1) business day after Landlord receives the Delay Notice from Tenant specifying such contended delay (the “Delay Grace Period”); provided that Landlord shall only be permitted an aggregate of ten (10) business days of Delay Grace Period and, thereafter, a Landlord Delay shall commence upon the delivery of the Delay Notice to Landlord.

2.4. Delivery of Second Expansion Space. Landlord and Tenant presently anticipate that the Second Expansion Space will be delivered to Tenant on or about March 20, 2013; however, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Second Expansion Space by such date, then: (i) the validity of this Third Amendment or the Lease shall not be affected or impaired thereby; (ii) subject to Section 2.2 above and Section 2.5 below, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or under the Lease (as amended hereby) or be liable for damages therefor; and (iii) Tenant shall accept possession of the Second Expansion Space when Landlord delivers the Second Expansion Space to Tenant.

2.5. Termination for Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant by the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the mutual execution and delivery of this Third Amendment (the “Delivery Termination Date”), then Tenant may terminate this Third Amendment (other than this Section 2.5 and Sections 8 and 10 through 13 below), by delivering to Landlord written notice thereof (a “Termination Notice”) at any time before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days following the Delivery Termination Date or (ii) the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant; however, the Delivery Termination Date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of delay attributable to an event of Force Majeure. The termination right afforded to Tenant under this Section 2.5 shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to timely deliver possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant by the Delivery Termination Date (as may be so extended). Time is of the essence for the delivery the Termination Notice under this Section 2.5; accordingly, if Tenant fails to timely deliver the Termination Notice, Tenant’s right to so terminate this Third Amendment under this Section 2.5 shall expire. If Tenant timely delivers a Termination Notice to Landlord pursuant to this Section 2.5, then effective from and after the date of such delivery, this Third Amendment (other than this Section 2.5 and Sections 8 and 10 through 13 below) shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect and Landlord and Tenant shall have no further liability to each other with respect thereto.

2.6. SEP Work Period. During the period commencing upon Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Second Expansion Space to Tenant and continuing until the day immediately prior to the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date (each such period referred to herein as a “SEP Work Period”), Tenant shall have the right to enter into the Second Expansion Space for the sole purpose of performing the SEP Refurbishment Work and/or installing furniture, fixtures and equipment therein. All of the terms and conditions of the Lease (as amended hereby) shall apply during the SEP Work Period, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay to Landlord all sums and charges required to be paid by Tenant for the Second Expansion Space under the Lease (as amended hereby) as though the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date had occurred; provided however, that during the SEP Work Period, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent or Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the Second Expansion Space until the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date actually occurs (it being acknowledged, however, that Tenant shall continue to have the obligation to pay to Landlord Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the Existing Premises during the SEP Work Period pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby).
