SUMMARY OF BASIC LEASE INFORMATION
     Each reference in this Summary of Basic Lease Information to the Lease Provisions contained in PART II shall be construed to incorporate all the terms provided in said Lease Provisions, and reference in the Lease Provisions to the Summary contained in this PART I shall be construed to incorporate the provisions of this Summary. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Summary and the provisions in the balance of this Lease, the latter shall control. The basic terms of this Lease are as follows:
A. Premises (Lease Provisions, Section 2):
     1. Premises Location:
          (a) Suite 120, consisting of approximately 6,216 square feet of Rentable Area and 5,222 square feet of usable area (as outlined on the floor plan attached to this Lease as Exhibit B-1) (the “Suite 120 Space”), located on the first (1st) floor of that certain office building (the “Building”) addressed as 2825 E. Cottonwood Parkway, Salt Lake City, Utah, as constructed on the Land which is further described on Exhibit E hereto.
          (b) Suite 150, consisting of approximately 5,304 square feet of Rentable Area and 4,456 square feet of usable area (as outlined on the floor plan attached to this Lease as Exhibit B-1), located on the first (1st) floor of the Building (the “Suite 150 Space”).
          (c) Suite 180, consisting of approximately 5,894 square feet of Rentable Area and 4,952 square feet of usable area (as outlined on the floor plan attached to this Lease as Exhibit B-1), located on the first (1st) floor of the Building (the “Suite 180 Space”).
          (d) Suite 200, consisting of approximately 13,596 square feet of Rentable Area and 11,422 square feet of usable area (as outlined on the floor plan attached to this Lease as Exhibit B-2), located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building (the “Suite 200 Space”).
     The Suite 120 Space, Suite 150 Space, Suite 180 Space, and Suite 200 Space contain an aggregate of approximately 31,010 square feet of Rentable Area and 26,052 square feet of usable area, and are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Suite Space” and collectively as the “Premises”. Those individual Suite Spaces described in clauses (a) through (d) above that are the first Suite Spaces delivered by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease shall be sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Initial Premises”. The remainder of the Premises that is

other than the Initial Premises shall sometimes be collectively referred to herein as the “Subsequent Premises”.
     2. Number of Approximate Square Feet of Rentable Area in the Building measured consistently throughout the Building: Approximately 108,571 square feet of Rentable Area.
B. Lease Term (Lease Provisions, Section 3):
     1. Term of the Lease. The term of the Lease (“Term”) for the Initial Premises and for each Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises shall commence upon separate commencement dates, but expire coterminously upon the Lease Expiration Date (as defined below), as follows:
          (a) Initial Premises: The Term of the Lease for the Initial Premises (the “Initial Premises Term”) shall be for a period of ten (10) years and ten (10) months, commencing upon the Initial Premises Commencement Date (as defined below) and expiring on the date (the “Lease Expiration Date”) that is ten (10) years and ten (10) months after the Initial Premises Commencement Date (unless extended pursuant to the terms of the Lease Extension Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit F).
          (b) Suite Spaces in Subsequent Premises. The Term of the Lease for each applicable Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises shall be for a period commencing upon the applicable Lease Commencement Date (as defined below) for such applicable Suite Space and expiring upon the Lease Expiration Date.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 1, Section “B” of the Summary to the contrary, if the expiration date for the initial lease term of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease (as defined below) (the “2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Expiration Date”) is later than the date that is ten (10) years and ten (10) months after the Initial Premises Commencement Date, then the Initial Premises Term and the initial Term of the Lease for the Subsequent Premises shall be extended to be the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Expiration Date, which 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Expiration Date shall be deemed to be the Lease Expiration Date for all intents and purposes under this Lease. In such event, the period of time between the date that would have been the Lease Expiration Date (but for the provisions of this paragraph) and the actual Lease Expiration Date (i.e., the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Expiration Date) shall be referred to herein as the “Bridge Period”.
     2. Lease Commencement Date: The commencement date of the Term of the Lease for the Initial Premises and for each Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises (each, a “Lease Commencement Date”) shall be determined separately, as follows:
          (a) Initial Premises: The Lease Commencement Date for the Initial Premises (the “Initial Premises Commencement Date”) shall be the date that is the earlier of (i) the date Tenant, or any person occupying any portion of the Premises with Tenant’s permission, commences business operations in the Premises, and (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date that Landlord delivers possession of the Initial Premises to Tenant.

-2-


 

          (b) Suite Spaces in Subsequent Premises. The Lease Commencement Date for each applicable Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises shall be the date that is the earlier of (i) the date Tenant, or any person occupying any part of such applicable Suite Space with Tenant’s permission, commences business operations therein, and (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date Landlord delivers possession of such applicable Suite Space to Tenant.
C. Base Rent (Lease Provisions, Section 5):
     The Base Rent shall be calculated separately and apart for each Suite Space in the Premises for which the Lease Commencement Date applicable thereto has previously occurred in accordance with the schedule contained hereinbelow, which shall be based upon the initial 10-year and 10-month Initial Premises Term, commencing upon the Initial Premises Commencement Date.

D. Additional Rent (Lease Provisions, Section 5.3):
     1. Base Year: The Expense Year commencing January 1 through December 31, 2011.
     2. Tenant’s Share: Tenant’s Share for Tenant’s payment of Operating Expenses means 28.56% (calculated based upon the ratio, stated as a percentage, of 31,010 square feet of Rentable Area of the entire Premises to the Rentable Area of the Building). Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Lease Commencement Date occurs for each and every Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises, Tenant’s Share for the Initial Premises and for each and every Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises shall during the applicable Term therefor be calculated separately, as follows:
          (a) For each applicable Suite Space in the Premises, Tenant’s Share shall equal the ratio (stated as a percentage) of the Rentable Area of such applicable Suite Space to the Rentable Area of the Building.
          (b) Upon the occurrence of each Lease Commencement Date for each applicable Suite Space, the then-current Tenant’s Share in effect for all of the applicable Suite Spaces for which the applicable Lease Commencement Dates therefor have previously occurred shall be increased to take into account the applicable Tenant’s Share for each such subsequently added Suite Space.
E. Parking Charge (Lease Provisions, Section 5.6):
     Tenant shall have the right to use, free-of-charge throughout the Term and any extension thereof, up to a total of one hundred thirty (130) automobile parking passes for parking spaces in the Parking Facility (i.e., five (5) parking passes for each 1,000 square feet of usable area of the Premises) (collectively, the “Parking Passes”), three (3) of which Parking Passes shall be for reserved and covered parking spaces in a location in the Parking Facility mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, acting reasonably and in good faith (the “Reserved Passes”), and the remainder of which Parking Passes shall be for unreserved and either uncovered or covered parking spaces (as may be designated by Landlord from time-to-time) in the Parking Facility (the “Unreserved Passes”).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Lease Commencement Date occurs for each and every Suite Space in the Premises, the Parking Passes for each Suite Space in the Premises during the applicable Term therefor shall be calculated separately and shall equal five (5) parking passes per each 1,000 square feet of usable area of such Suite Space, all of which shall be Unreserved Passes, except that Tenant shall be entitled to use the Reserved Passes from and after the Initial Premises Commencement Date, notwithstanding the fact the Lease Commencement Date will not have then yet occurred for each and every Suite Space in the Premises.

LEASE PROVISIONS
     1. DEFINITIONS. The definitions of certain of the capitalized terms used in this Lease are set forth in the Glossary of Defined Terms attached as Exhibit A.
     2. PREMISES. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Suite Spaces as described in the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Section “A”, as outlined on the applicable floor plans therefor attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 through B-2 (collectively, the “Premises”). In connection with such demise and subject to Article 21 herein, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the nonexclusive right to use during the Term of this Lease, all Common Areas designed for the use of all tenants in the Building, in common with all tenants in the Building and their invitees, for the purposes for which the Common Areas are designed and in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to or to change the location of elements of the Complex and the Common Areas, so long as the changes do not change the nature of the Complex to something other than a first class office building project or result in an Adverse Condition. Landlord, however, has the sole discretion to determine the manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated, and the use of the Common Areas shall be subject to the Building Rules and Regulations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the Complex, Building or Premises or the suitability of

-5-


 

the Complex, Building or Premises for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises. By occupying the Premises, Tenant accepts the Premises as being suitable for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises. As used herein, an “Adverse Condition” shall mean: (a) a material adverse interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the use permitted under this Lease; (b) an unreasonable interference with Tenant’s access to the Premises; (c) other than on a reasonably temporary basis, a reduction of, or material adverse interference with Tenant’s access to, the number of Unreserved Passes and/or Reserved Passes set forth in Section “E” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information; or (d) an event which materially increases Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease, except for increases in Operating Expenses to the extent such increases are otherwise permitted in Section 5.4 below.
     3. TERM. The provisions of this Lease shall be effective only as of the date this Lease is executed by both Landlord and Tenant. The term of this Lease shall be determined separately for each applicable Suite Space of the Premises (each a “Term”), and shall commence upon the applicable Lease Commencement Date therefor (as described in and in accordance with the provisions of Section “B” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information), and shall expire coterminously at 5:00 p.m. on the Lease Expiration Date as set forth in Section “B” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information, unless this Lease is earlier terminated as provided herein. The Term of this Lease with respect to all, but not less than all, of the entire Premises (including any ROFO Space, as defined below) leased by Tenant as of the Lease Expiration Date may be extended only by execution by Tenant and Landlord of the Lease Extension Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit F.
     4. USE. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises solely for lawful, general business office purposes and incidental testing of computer equipment in compliance with the Building Rules and Regulations from time to time in effect. Tenant specifically may not, in addition to other restrictions in this Lease or in the Building Rules and Regulations, use the Premises in any other manner to create load or foot traffic that Landlord deems excessive relative to the size of the Premises. Tenant shall, and Tenant agrees to cause its agents, employees, invitees and licensees to observe and comply with the Building Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by this reference, and such reasonable modifications and additions thereto which may be hereafter adopted by Landlord for the care, protection, cleanliness and operation of the Premises, Building and Complex, so long as (a) Landlord provides Tenant with written notice of such modifications and additions, and (b) such modifications and additions do not discriminate against Tenant, do not conflict with the terms of this Lease (in which event the latter shall control), and would not result in an Adverse Condition. Tenant shall also comply with all Legal Requirements and other restrictions on use of the Premises as provided in this Lease, including, without limitation, Article 12 hereof.
     5. RENT.
          5.1 Base Rent; Abated Rent.
               5.1.1 Base Rent. In consideration of Landlord’s leasing the Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the base rent (“Base Rent”) at the time(s) and in the manner stated in Section 5.7 below, and in the amounts stated in Section “C” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information.

-6-


 

               5.1.2 Abated Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1.1 above, provided that there is no then-existing Event of Default (as defined below) by Tenant under this Lease: (a) Landlord shall abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the monthly installments of Base Rent otherwise payable by Tenant for the Initial Premises (and those Suite Spaces in the Remaining Premises for which the Lease Commencement Date applicable thereto has actually occurred) during the first six (6) months of the Initial Premises Term (the “Initial Abated Rent”); and (b) in addition to the Initial Abated Rent, Landlord shall also abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent during the Initial Premises Term in a total amount equivalent to the total amount of monthly Base Rent actually paid by Tenant for the Initial Premises (and those Suite Spaces in the Remaining Premises for which the Lease Commencement Date applicable thereto has actually occurred) for the seventh (7th) through the tenth (10th) months of the Initial Premises Term (the “Subsequent Abatable Rent”), which Subsequent Abatable Rent shall be abated by Landlord as follows: Landlord shall apply the Subsequent Abatable Rent against fifty percent (50%) of the monthly installments of Base Rent otherwise payable for the Initial Premises (and those Suite Spaces in the Remaining Premises for which the Lease Commencement Date applicable thereto has actually occurred) commencing with the thirty-first (31st) month of the Initial Premises Term and for each month thereafter until such Subsequent Abatable Rent is exhausted. By way of illustration only, if (i) the Subsequent Abatable Rent equaled $125,000.00, and (ii) the Lease Commencement Date for each and every Suite Space in the Premises had occurred on or prior to the first (1st) day of the thirty-first (31st) month of the Initial Premises Term, then Tenant would have the obligation to pay Base Rent as follows after applying such fifty percent (50%) abatement of the Subsequent Abatable Rent and provided there is no then-existing Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease: (x) $34,950.86 (i.e., $69,901.71 / 2) per month during the thirty-first (31st) through thirty-third (33rd) months of the Initial Premises Term; and (y) $51,857.46 (i.e., $71,994.88 - $20,147.42 [representing the then-remaining balance of the Subsequent Abatable Rent]) for the thirty-fourth (34th) month of the Initial Premises Term.
               As used herein, (A) the phrase “Abatement Periods” shall mean those portions of the Term of this Lease during which Landlord abates Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, and (B) the phrase “Abated Rent” shall mean the total amount of Base Rent abated by Landlord during the Abatement Periods pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1. During the Abatement Periods, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of an Event of Default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in the early termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 24 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 24 below, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the unamortized portion of the Abated Rent. For purposes of this Section 5.1, Abated Rent shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the scheduled one hundred thirty (130) month initial Term of this Lease, and the unamortized portion thereof shall be determined based upon the unexpired portion of such initial Term of this Lease as of the date of such early termination.
          5.2 No Other Adjustment of Base Rent. The stipulation of Rentable Area and usable area for each applicable Suite Space of the Premises set forth in Article 2 above and in Section “A” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to adjustment or re-measurement by Landlord or Tenant. Accordingly, there shall be no adjustment to the Base Rent, Tenant’s Share, the Tenant

-7-


 

Improvement Allowance, the General Allowance or any other dollar amounts or figures which are calculated or determined based upon the Rentable Area or usable area of the Premises (or any applicable Suite Space thereof). Tenant shall have no right to withhold, deduct or offset any amount of the monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due under this Lease even if the actual Rentable Area and/or usable area of the Premises (or any applicable Suite Space thereof) is less than the Rentable Area and/or usable area thereof set forth in Section “A” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information.
          5.3 Additional Rent. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Section 5.1 above, Tenant shall pay as additional rent the Tenant’s Share (as defined in Section 5.3.1(b) below) of the Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 5.4 below) for each Expense Year, or portion thereof, that are in excess of the amount of Operating Expenses applicable to the Base Year (as defined in Section 5.3.1(a) below) allocated to the tenants of the Building (pursuant to Section 5.4.2(c) below) (collectively, the “Building Allocated Operating Expenses”). Such additional rent, together with other amounts of any kind (other than Base Rent) payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease, shall be collectively referred to in this Lease as “Additional Rent.” Operating Expenses which are normally and reasonably allocable to more than one Expense Year shall be prorated and allocated over such period(s). All amounts due under this Section 5.3 above as Additional Rent are payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time and place as the Base Rent as provided in Section 5.7 below. Without limitation on any other obligation of Tenant that may survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant’s obligations to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Section 5.3 above shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease.
               5.3.1 Additional Rent Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section 5.4 below:
                    (a) Base Year. “Base Year” means the Expense Year commencing January 1 through December 31 of the year stated in Section “D” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information.
                    (b) Tenant’s Share. “Tenant’s Share” for Tenant’s payment of Operating Expenses means the applicable percentage stated and as calculated in Section “D” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information.
               5.3.2 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant’s Share of Building Allocated Operating Expenses for any Expense Year, or portion thereof, shall be calculated and paid as follows:
                    (a) Calculation of Excess. If Tenant’s Share of Building Allocated Operating Expenses for any Expense Year, commencing with the Expense Year immediately following the Base Year, exceeds Tenant’s Share of the amount of Building Allocated Operating Expenses applicable to the Base Year (with Building Allocated Operating Expenses for the Base Year being annualized), Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord an amount equal to that excess (the “Excess”) in the manner stated in Sections 5.3.2(b) and (c) below.

-8-


 

                    (b) Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses and Payment by Tenant. On or before the first day of the Expense Year immediately following the Base Year and for each Expense Year thereafter, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant an estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) of the Excess to be due by Tenant for the forthcoming Expense Year. The Estimate Statement will be based on good faith estimates, reasonably determined, and will set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the estimated Excess payable as Additional Rent. Thereafter, unless Landlord delivers to Tenant a revision of the Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, coincident with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Excess set forth on the Estimate Statement for such Expense Year divided by twelve (12) months; provided, however, if any such Estimate Statement is delivered to Tenant for any Expense Year after the first day of such Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Excess set forth in such Estimate Statement; such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year as of the date such Estimate Statement has been delivered to Tenant to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator (reduced by any amounts previously paid by Tenant for such Expense Year pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 5.3.2(b)). On no more than two occasions during any Expense Year, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate the Excess to be due by Tenant for that Expense Year and deliver a copy of the revised Estimate Statement to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of the Excess payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the revised Estimate Statement so that, by the end of any Expense Year, Tenant shall have paid all of the Excess as estimated by Landlord on the revised Estimate Statement. Landlord’s failure to furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year in a timely manner shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Additional Rent otherwise payable for such Expense Year, so long as Landlord actually delivers to Tenant an Estimate Statement or Statement of Actual Operating Expenses setting forth in detail the Excess payable for such Expense Year. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
                    (c) Statement of Actual Operating Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant as soon as available following the end of each Expense Year which occurs after the Base Year, a statement (the “Statement of Actual Operating Expenses”) stating the actual Building Allocated Operating Expenses incurred or accrued for the preceding Expense Year and indicating the amount, if any, of any underpayment due to Landlord or overpayment thereof by Tenant based upon the amount of the estimated Excess previously paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.3.2(a) above for such preceding Expense Year. Landlord’s Statement of Actual Operating Expenses will show in reasonable detail the amount and computation of Building Allocated Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Year, a statement as to any Building Allocated Operating Expense which is not final and the amount of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and application of Tenant’s estimated payments. On receipt of the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for each Expense Year for which an Excess exists, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Excess, less the estimated amounts (if any) paid during the Expense Year pursuant to an Estimate Statement. If there is an overpayment of Additional Rent set forth on a Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for any Expense Year, the amount of overpayment shall be credited against subsequent

-9-


 

payments of Excess as they become due. If it is determined after the expiration of the Term of the Lease that there is an underpayment or overpayment of Excess by Tenant for the last Expense Year, such underpayment or overpayment (as applicable) shall be refunded to Tenant or paid by Tenant to Landlord (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for such last Expense Year. Landlord’s failure to furnish the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for any Expense Year in a timely manner shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights hereunder; provided, however, Landlord’s failure to provide Tenant with a Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for any Expense Year within two (2) years after the end of such Expense Year in question, shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any additional Excess which would have been payable for such Expense Year had such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses been delivered within such 2-year period; provided further, however, that such limitation on Landlord’s ability to collect any Excess as a result of any late delivery of such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses shall not preclude Landlord from modifying any Statement of Actual Operating Expenses once such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses is timely delivered, as provided hereinabove, to reflect any errors in such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses and/or any additional expenses levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies (including, without limitation, as a result of any new or supplemental tax bills issued by the applicable taxing authority), so long as Landlord delivers such revised Statement of Actual Operating Expenses to Tenant within two (2) years after Landlord becomes aware of such errors or receives such new information. The provisions of this Section 5.3.2(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease.
          5.4 Operating Expenses. “Operating Expenses” shall mean all costs and expenses which Landlord pays or accrues by virtue of the ownership, use, management, leasing, maintenance, service, operation, insurance or condition of the Land and all improvements thereon, including, without limitation, the Building and Parking Facility, during a particular Expense Year or portion thereof as determined by Landlord or its accountant in accordance with standard real estate accounting practices, consistently applied, subject to the exclusions contained in Section 5.4.2(a) below.

Such costs shall be amortized over the reasonable life of the items in accordance with standard real estate accounting practices, together with interest on the unamortized cost at the Amortization Interest Rate.

               (7) expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged directly but which are provided to any other tenant or occupant of the Complex at no cost (or are separately reimbursed by such other tenants);
               (8) legal fees, attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants or prospective occupants of the Complex (including costs incurred due to violations by tenants of the terms and conditions of their leases), or any other legal fees and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the Complex (including, without limitation, any financing, sale or syndication of the Complex), except (A) as specifically enumerated as an Operating Expense in this Lease and/or (B) to the extent the expenditure of such legal fees and attorneys’ fees generally benefits all of the tenants of the Complex;
               (9) the wages and benefits of any employee who does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the operation and management of the Complex, unless such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect time spent on operating and managing the Complex vis-à-vis time spent on matters unrelated to operating and managing the Complex;

     In addition, if any facilities, services or utilities used or provided in connection with or to the Complex are also concurrently used or provided in connection with or to other buildings or

-15-


 

complexes owned or operated by Landlord and not located on the Complex (or vice versa), the costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be allocated to Operating Expenses by Landlord on a reasonably equitable basis to reasonably reflect the costs associated with those facilities, services or utilities that are used or provided in connection with or to the Complex.
                    (b) Gross-Up Adjustments. If the occupancy of the Building during any part of any Expense Year (including the Base Year) is less than one hundred percent (100%), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the Operating Expenses for that Expense Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied. This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for that Expense Year. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not (A) make a profit by charging items to Operating Expenses that are otherwise also charged separately to others, and (B) collect Operating Expenses from Tenant and all other tenants/occupants in the Complex in an amount in excess of what Landlord incurred for the items included in Operating Expenses.
                    (c) Allocation of Operating Expenses. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project, and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Complex (i.e., the Operating Expenses) shall be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings of the Complex. Accordingly, as set forth above, Operating Expenses are determined annually for the Complex as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on a reasonable and equitable basis, shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of such other buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant’s Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses allocated to the tenants of the Building shall include all Operating Expenses which are attributable solely to the Building, and a reasonable and equitable portion of the Operating Expenses attributable to the Complex as a whole.
                    (d) Refunds and Installments. Any refunds actually received by Landlord for any category of Operating Expenses shall reduce the Operating Expenses in the applicable Expense Year pertaining to such category of Operating Expenses, provided that in no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Operating Expenses under this Section 5.3 for such Expense Year. In addition, all assessments and premiums included in Operating Expenses which are not specifically charged to Tenant because of what Tenant has done, which can be paid by Landlord in installments without the imposition of fines, penalties, interest or late charges, shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments permitted by the Legal Requirements (except to the extent inconsistent with the general practice of the Comparable Buildings) and shall be included as Operating Expenses in the Expense Year in which the assessment or premium installment is actually paid.
               5.4.3 Cap on Controllable Expenses. If the Operating Expenses in any Expense Year during the initial Term after the Base Year (such Expense Year being referred to herein as the “Current Expense Year”) do not increase by more than the greater of (a) five percent (5%), calculated on an annual cumulative and compounded basis, over the Operating

-16-


 

Expenses for the Base Year, and (b) the product of the CPI Increase (as defined hereinbelow) multiplied by the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, then the provisions of this Section 5.4.3 shall not apply to such Current Expense Year. If, however, during the initial Term of this Lease, the Operating Expenses in such Current Expense Year increase by more than the greater of (i) five percent (5%), calculated on an annual cumulative and compounded basis, over the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, and (ii) the product of the CPI Increase multiplied by the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5, the Controllable Expenses (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in such Current Expense Year of the initial Term of this Lease shall not increase by more than the greater of (A) five percent (5%), calculated on an annual cumulative and compounded basis, over the Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year, and (B) the product of the CPI Increase multiplied the Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year. The cap on Controllable Expenses contained in this Section 5.4.3 shall not apply during the Option Term or any other extension of the initial Term of this Lease. For purposes of this Section 5.4.3, “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses except: (1) any Impositions with respect to the Building or the Complex, or any part thereof; (2) the costs and premiums for insurance (including deductibles) carried by Landlord with respect to the Complex and/or the operation thereof; (3) the costs of utilities and janitorial services, including, without limitation, electricity, water, HVAC and sewer charges, utility surcharges and assessments, and refuse removal; (4) the costs of repairs and maintenance; (5) the costs of capital alterations, capital additions, capital improvements and capital replacements described in Sections 5.4.1(q)(i) and (ii) and Section 5.4.2(a)(20) above; (6) the costs of snow removal; (7) the costs of all services, products, supplies, and equipment provided to the Building or Complex by a third party vendor to the extent competitive bids are obtained from at least two qualified vendors unaffiliated with Landlord for such services, products, supplies, or equipment; and (8) increases in wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits paid to Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors to the extent (x) such employees, agents or contractors are members of a labor union or are paid on a “prevailing wage” basis, and/or (y) such increases are due to increases in the applicable minimum wage legally required to be paid to such personnel. As used herein, the phrase “CPI Increase” for any applicable Current Expense Year shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the CPI (defined hereinbelow) for the month that is three (3) calendar months prior to the month of January of such Current Expense Year and the denominator of which shall be the CPI for the calendar month that is three (3) calendar months prior to the month of January of the Base Year. The term “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, Salt Lake City CMSA, all items (1982-84 = 100), not seasonally adjusted, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “Bureau”), or if such index is no longer published, the U.S. Department of Labor’s most comprehensive official index then in use that most nearly corresponds to the index named above. If the CPI is calculated from a base different from the base period 1982-84 = 100, figures used for calculating the adjustment shall first be converted to the base period used under a formula supplied by the Bureau.
          5.5 Audit Rights. If Tenant disputes the amount of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses set forth in the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses for the particular Expense Year delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Section 5.3.2(b) above, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to have Tenant’s authorized employees (which may include Tenant’s own staff auditors) inspect, at

-17-


 

Landlord’s offices during normal business hours, Landlord’s books, records and supporting documents concerning the Building Allocated Operating Expenses set forth in such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to conduct such inspection, have an audit performed by the Accountant as defined and described hereinbelow, or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses set forth in any such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such objection and dispute, completes such inspection, and has the Accountant commence and complete such audit within twelve (12) months immediately following Landlord’s delivery of the particular Statement of Actual Operating Expenses in question (the “Review Period”); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely objection, dispute, inspection, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise of its right of objection, dispute, inspection and/or audit as set forth in this Section 5.5, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord, the full amounts as required by the provisions of Section 5.3 above in accordance with such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses. However, such payment may be made under protest pending the outcome of any audit which may be performed by the Accountant as described below. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner and without undue interference with Landlord’s operation and management of the Complex. If after such inspection and/or request for documentation, Tenant still disputes the amount of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses set forth in the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right, within the Review Period, to cause an independent certified public accountant (which is not paid on a commission or contingency basis) mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Accountant”) to complete an audit of Landlord’s books and records to determine the proper amount of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses incurred and amounts payable by Tenant for the Expense Year which is the subject of such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the “Big 4” accounting firms or another nationally-recognized accounting firm (which is not paid on a commission or contingency basis and which has not been engaged by Tenant within the preceding five (5) year period), as selected by Tenant. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge, together with interest on the amount of the over-charge at the Interest Rate. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount of such under-charge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord’s original Statement of Actual Operating Expenses which was the subject of such audit overstated Building Allocated Operating Expenses by four percent (4%) or more of the actual Building Allocated Operating Expenses verified by such audit, in which case Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of such audit (but not in excess of the amount of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses so overstated). The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to Section 5.3 above shall not preclude Tenant from questioning, during the Review Period, the correctness of the particular Statement of Actual Operating Expenses in question provided by

-18-


 

Landlord, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto, conduct and complete its inspection and have the Accountant conduct the audit as described above prior to the expiration of the Review Period for such Statement of Actual Operating Expenses shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the Statement of Actual Operating Expenses in question and the amount of Building Allocated Operating Expenses shown thereon. In connection with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.5, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant’s employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord’s books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such employees, consultants and the Accountant to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements as Landlord may require prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.
          5.6 Parking. Tenant shall, throughout the Term (as may be extended), have the right to use, without the obligation to pay any parking charges therefor, up to the number of Reserved Passes for reserved and covered parking spaces in the Parking Facility and Unreserved Passes for unreserved and either uncovered or covered parking spaces (as may be designated by Landlord from time-to-time) in the Parking Facility as stated in Section “E” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information. Landlord shall have the right to establish such reasonable non-discriminatory rules and regulations as may be deemed desirable, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion, for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the Parking Facility, so long as such rules and regulations do not result in an Adverse Condition. Such rules and regulations may include, without limitation, the use of parking gates, cards, permits and other control devices to regulate the use of the parking areas. The rights of Tenant and its employees, customers, service suppliers and invitees to use the Parking Facility shall, to the extent such rules and regulations are not inconsistent with the other terms of this Lease, at all times be subject to the following: (i) Landlord’s right to establish reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations applicable to such use (so long as such rules and regulations do not result in an Adverse Condition) and to exclude any person therefrom who is not authorized to use the same or who violates such rules and regulations; (ii) the rights of Landlord and other tenants in the Building and Complex to use the same in common with Tenant; (iii) the availability of parking spaces in said Parking Facility; (iv) Landlord’s right to establish and/or modify parking charges for visitor parking; and (v) Landlord’s right to change the configuration of the parking areas and any unassigned parking spaces as Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion (so long as such changes do not result in an Adverse Condition). Tenant agrees to limit its use of the Parking Facility to the number and type of parking spaces specified in Section “E” of the Summary of Basic Lease Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to impose liability upon Landlord for personal injury or theft, for damage to any motor vehicle, or for loss of property from within any motor vehicle, which is suffered by Tenant or any of its employees, customers, service suppliers or other invitees in connection with their use of the Parking Facility. Tenant understands and agrees that, while the Parking Facility will be open to Tenant on a 24-hour basis, other than spaces that are assigned to tenants, all parking spaces in the parking area may be leased to members of the general public between the hours of 6:30 p.m. through 7:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday morning, after 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, and all day on Sunday and holidays.
          5.7 Payment of Rent. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent and Additional Rent for all of the Suite Spaces for

-19-


 

which the Lease Commencement Date applicable thereto have previously occurred (a) in one (1) payment by check or via federal wire transfer, and (b) in advance monthly installments on the first business day of each calendar month during the Term. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at NOP Cottonwood 2825, LLC, File #30679, P.O. Box 60000, San Francisco, California 94160-0679 (or wired via federal wire transfer into the account designated by Landlord in writing from time-to-time), or to such other person or at such other address in the United States as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Rent shall be paid without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset in legal tender of the United States of America. The monthly Base Rent amount that is payable for the first calendar month of the applicable Term of this Lease for the entire Premises shall be paid upon execution by Tenant of this Lease. In addition, (i) if the applicable Term of this Lease for any applicable Suite Space commences on other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial month for such applicable Suite Space shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days during the applicable month and paid on or before the applicable Lease Commencement Date for such applicable Suite Space, and (ii) if the Lease Expiration Date for the entire Premises occurs on other than the last day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial month for the entire Premises shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days during such applicable month and paid on or before the first (1st) day of such partial month. If the Term of this Lease commences or ends on other than the first or the last day of an Expense Year, the Excess for the partial Expense Year calculated as provided in Section 5.3 above shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days during the applicable Expense Year. All payments received by Landlord from Tenant shall be applied to the oldest payment obligation owed by Tenant to Landlord. No designation by Tenant, either in a separate writing or on a check or money order, shall modify this Section or have any force or effect. The Rent to be paid by Tenant or any Transferee hereunder shall not be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived from the lease, use or occupancy of the Premises. If Landlord determines that all or any portion of the Rent payable hereunder is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, Landlord’s Mortgagee may elect unilaterally to amend the calculation of Rent such that none of the Rent payable under this Lease will constitute unrelated business income; provided, however, that any such amendment shall not increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liabilities, or reduce the obligations of Landlord, under this Lease.
          5.8 Delinquent Payments and Handling Charge. If any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other payments required of Tenant hereunder are not received by Landlord when due on more than one (1) occasion in any 12-month period (or if, on such one (1) occasion, Tenant’s failure to pay such delinquent amounts continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord), then (a) any such delinquent amounts shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Interest Rate specified in Section 27.13 below, and (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord for its costs and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency (other than interest, attorneys’ fees and costs). The parties agree that this late charge set forth in clause (b) hereinabove represents a reasonable estimate of the expenses that Landlord will incur because of any late payment (other than interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs). Landlord’s acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall pay the late charge as Additional Rent with the next installment of Additional Rent. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this

-20-


 

Section 5.8 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent the same are considered to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law. If any two non-cash payments made by Tenant are not paid by the bank or other institution on which they are drawn, Landlord shall have the right, exercised by notice to Tenant, to require that Tenant make all future payments by certified funds or cashier’s check.
          5.9 Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant in the possession of the Premises, or any portion thereof, after the expiration of the Term of this Lease, with or without the consent of Landlord, shall require Tenant to pay (a) during the first six (6) months of such holdover period, an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent herein specified for the last month of the Term (prorated on a monthly basis), and (b) for any portion of such holdover period after such initial 6-month period, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent herein specified for the last month of the Term (prorated on a monthly basis). If Tenant holds over with Landlord’s consent, such occupancy shall be deemed a month-to-month tenancy and such tenancy shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified in this Lease as far as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or the acceptance by Landlord of any payment by Tenant, any holding over without Landlord’s consent beyond thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to pursue all remedies provided in this Lease, or otherwise, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all direct damages and all Consequential Damages (as defined below) incurred and/or suffered by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s holding over without Landlord’s consent; provided, however, following Landlord’s execution of a third-party lease which affects the Premises, Landlord shall deliver written notice (the “New Lease Notice”) of such third-party lease to Tenant and the terms of the foregoing regarding liability for and recovery of any Consequential Damages shall not be effective until the date which is thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the date Landlord delivers such New Lease Notice to Tenant, and (ii) the date such holdover commences.
     6. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
          6.1 Condition of Premises. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.1 below and the Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall accept each Suite Space in the Premises in its “AS-IS” condition as of the date of execution of this Lease and the date Landlord delivers possession of each such applicable Suite Space in the Premises to Tenant, and Landlord shall have no obligation to (a) perform any work therein, including, without limitation, demolition of any improvements existing therein or the design, permitting or construction of any tenant finish work, alterations or other improvements therein, or (b) pay for, or reimburse Tenant for, or provide Tenant with an allowance to help Tenant pay for, any costs related to the demolition or the design, permitting or construction of any alterations or improvements therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if (i) as of the date of delivery by Landlord to Tenant of each Suite Space in the Premises, the Building’s base building mechanical, electrical, gas, HVAC, plumbing and/or life-safety systems serving such Suite Space are not in good order, condition and repair (a “Defective Condition”), and (ii) Tenant becomes aware and delivers to Landlord written notice (the “Defect Notice”) of such Defective Condition described hereinabove by the date which is six (6) months after such date of delivery (the “Outside Date”), then Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, do that which is necessary to correct such

-21-


 

Defective Condition identified in the Defect Notice (the “Corrective Work”) within a reasonable period of time after Landlord receives the Defect Notice. If Tenant fails to deliver the Defect Notice to Landlord on or prior to the applicable Outside Date, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform the Corrective Work described hereinabove (but such release of such obligation shall not relieve Landlord of its other obligations under this Lease, including under Section 8.1 below).
          6.2 Lease Commencement Date; Adjustments to Lease Commencement Date. The Lease Commencement Date for the Initial Premises and for each Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises shall be determined as set forth in Section “B”, Paragraph 2 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information. Following the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date for the Initial Premises and for each Suite Space in the Subsequent Premises, the parties will execute and deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto stating and acknowledging the applicable Lease Commencement Date therefor.
          6.3 Abatement for Delay in Delivery of Premises. As used herein, the phrase “Delivery Abatement Date” shall mean (a) as to the Suite 120 Space, Suite 150 Space and Suite 180 Space, October 1, 2010, and (b) as to the Suite 200 Space, June 1, 2011, as each such date may be extended as a result of any delays encountered by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant caused by Force Majeure events. Tenant shall accept each Suite Space upon delivery of possession thereof by Landlord, whether such delivery occurs on or prior to the applicable Delivery Abatement Date or any other date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of any Suite Spaces in the Premises on or before the applicable Delivery Abatement Date therefor, as may be so extended (each such Suite Space in the Premises which Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant on or before the applicable Delivery Abatement Date therefor [as may be so extended] referred to herein as a “Delinquent Suite Space”), then for each day beyond such applicable Delivery Abatement Date therefor (as may be so extended) that Landlord does not deliver possession of such Delinquent Suite Space to Tenant, Landlord shall abate, on a per diem and dollar for dollar basis, the Base Rent payable by Tenant for such Delinquent Suite Space. Any such applicable Delay Abatement Rent for such applicable Delinquent Suite Space shall be credited toward the Base Rent first due and payable by Tenant under this Lease with respect to such Delinquent Suite Space. Except as provided in Section 6.4 below, the abatement right afforded to Tenant under this Section 6.3 shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of any or all of the Delinquent Suites Spaces to Tenant on or before the applicable Delivery Abatement Date therefor, as such date may be extended as provided hereinabove, and Landlord shall not be subject to any other liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected by such failure of Landlord to deliver possession of any or all of the Delinquent Suites Spaces to Tenant on or before the applicable Delivery Abatement Date therefor (or any other date).
          6.4 Termination for Delay. As used herein, the phrase “Delivery Condition” shall mean that Landlord has delivered to Tenant Suite Spaces in the Building and the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord (as defined below) has delivered suite spaces in the 2855 E. Cottonwood Building totaling at least seventy-five percent (75%) (i.e., 88,333 square feet of Rentable Area) of the aggregate Rentable Area of the Premises leased by Tenant under this Lease and the premises initially leased by Tenant under the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6 to the contrary, if the Delivery Condition is not satisfied by

-22-


 

June 1, 2010 (the “Termination Trigger Date”) (as such date may be extended as provided hereinbelow), then Tenant may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Lease by delivering to Landlord written notice thereof (the “Termination Notice”) at any time before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days following the Termination Trigger Date, or (ii) the date the Delivery Condition is satisfied; provided, however, Tenant shall have no such right to terminate this Lease unless Tenant, concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice to Landlord pursuant to this Section 6.4, also delivers a termination notice to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord pursuant to Section 6.4 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease terminating the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Termination Trigger Date shall be extended one (1) day for each day that (A) Landlord is delayed in satisfying the Delivery Condition with respect to the Premises as a result of any events of Force Majeure under this Lease and/or (B) the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord is delayed in satisfying the Delivery Condition with respect to the premises initially leased by Tenant under the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease as a result of any events of force majeure, as defined in and pursuant to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease. If Tenant properly and timely exercises the termination option in this Section 6.4, and concurrently properly and timely exercises the termination option set forth in Section 6.4 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease, this Lease shall terminate at midnight on the date that is thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord the Termination Notice and Tenant shall be required to surrender the Premises to Landlord on or prior to the Termination Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease; provided however, Tenant’s Termination Notice shall be deemed rescinded and Tenant shall have no further right to terminate this Lease under this Section 6.4 if the Delivery Condition is satisfied within such 30-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the termination option hereinabove granted to Tenant shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date Tenant delivers the Termination Notice to Landlord, (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and/or (2) Tenant has not properly concurrently exercised the termination option set forth in Section 6.4 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease. Time is of the essence for the delivery of the Termination Notice under this Section 6.4; accordingly, if Tenant fails to timely deliver the Termination Notice, Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease under this Section 6.4 shall expire. Except as provided in Section 6.3 above, the termination option afforded to Tenant under this Section 6.4 shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to timely deliver possession of any or all of the Suites Spaces in the Premises to Tenant, and Landlord shall not be subject to any other liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected by such failure of Landlord to timely deliver possession of any or all of the Suites Spaces in the Premises to Tenant.
          6.5 General Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord an allowance (the “General Allowance”) in an amount up to, but not exceeding, Ninety-One Thousand One Hundred Eighty-Two Dollars ($91,182.00) (i.e., $3.50 per square foot of usable area in the Premises), for any or all of the following purposes, as designated by Tenant in a written request or requests therefor (each, a “Reimbursement/Offset Request”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided hereinbelow: (a) to help reimburse Tenant for the actual and documented costs incurred and paid for by Tenant during the General Allowance Availability Period (as defined hereinbelow) for purchasing and installing furniture, fixtures and equipment in and for the Premises (collectively, the “FF&E Costs”); (b) to help reimburse Tenant for the actual and documented moving expenses (collectively, the “Moving Costs”) incurred and paid for by Tenant during the General Allowance Availability Period in connection with Tenant’s moving into the Premises; and/or (c) to offset against the Base Rent (the “Base Rent Offset”)

-23-


 

otherwise payable under this Lease for the Premises first coming due after the Abatement Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to make any such disbursement of any such remaining balance of the General Allowance with respect to any FF&E Costs or Moving Costs (i) incurred by Tenant prior to or after the General Allowance Availability Period, and (ii) unless Landlord receives a Reimbursement/Offset Request for such FF&E Costs and/or Moving Costs within the General Allowance Availability Period. Such disbursement by Landlord of any such remaining balance of the General Allowance to reimburse Tenant for the FF&E Costs and Moving Costs shall be made by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received the applicable Reimbursement/Offset Request therefor together with copies of invoices and paid receipts from third parties evidencing the amount of such FF&E Costs or Moving Costs (as applicable) actually incurred and paid for by Tenant that are to be so reimbursed by Landlord. If, upon the expiration of the General Allowance Availability Period, there is any balance remaining of the General Allowance which Tenant has not previously timely and properly requested in a Reimbursement/Offset Request be disbursed to reimburse Tenant for the FF&E Costs and Moving Costs, then Landlord shall apply such remaining balance of the General Allowance to the monthly installment(s) of Base Rent next due and payable under this Lease. As used herein, the “General Allowance Availability Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of execution of this Lease and expiring on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Initial Premises Commencement Date.

Tenant shall have the right to (i) install one (1) or more additional supplementary air conditioning units (the “Supplemental AC Units”) in Tenant’s computer server room in the Premises (the “Server Room”), of such size as Tenant reasonably determines necessary for the proper cooling of the Server Room and the equipment located therein (and approved by Landlord as provided hereinbelow), and (ii) operate such Supplemental AC Units twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided however, that the number, size, weight and all other specifications of such Supplemental AC Units shall be compatible with the electrical systems and load requirements of the Building and subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any such Supplemental AC Units are installed pursuant to this Section 7.1(a), then: (A) as part of such installation and as part of such Supplemental AC Units, Tenant shall install a separate electricity meter for such Supplemental AC Units to determine the electricity consumed by such Supplemental AC Units; (B) such installation of such Supplemental AC Units (and electricity meters therefor) shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s cost pursuant to either the terms and provisions of either (1) the Tenant Work Letter to the extent such Supplemental AC Units are installed during the construction of the Tenant Improvements for the applicable Construction Premises (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D), or (2) Article 11 below to the extent such Supplemental AC Units are installed after the

If any of the services described above are interrupted, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly restore the same. If such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice from Tenant (“Eligibility Period”), then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Excess shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day following the Eligibility Period and continuing until such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the square feet of Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises. To the extent Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Base Rent and Excess because of a damage or destruction pursuant to Article 15 below or a taking pursuant to Article 14 below, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.

-25-


 

     If not previously installed, Landlord may cause an electric and/or water meter(s) (each, a “Separate Meter”) to be installed in the Premises to measure the amount of electricity and/or water consumed for any such use. Landlord shall install any such Separate Meter at Landlord’s expense, except that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (within thirty (30) days after invoice) for the costs of any such Separate Meter installed by Landlord following Tenant’s Overstandard Use (as defined below) of electricity or water for a period of two (2) consecutive months or four (4) months in any twelve (12) month period during the Term of this Lease.
     Certain security measures (both by electronic equipment and personnel) may be provided by Landlord in connection with the Building. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that any such security is intended to be solely for the benefit of the Landlord and protecting its property, and while certain incidental benefits may accrue to the Tenant therefrom, any such security is not for the purpose of protecting either the property of Tenant or the safety of its employees, agents or invitees. By providing any such security, Landlord assumes no obligation to Tenant and shall have no liability arising therefrom.

In addition, Landlord shall furnish Tenant, within a commercially reasonable time after Tenant’s request, and at Tenant’s expense, with such additional access cards in excess of the Access Card Allotment as Tenant may reasonably request, to unlock or allow access to the Building and each corridor door entering the Premises. Tenant shall not install, or permit to be installed, any additional lock on any door into or in the Premises or make, or permit to be made, any duplicates of access cards to the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent. Landlord shall be entitled at all times to possession of a duplicate of all access cards to all doors to or inside of the Premises. All access cards referred to in this Section 7.2 above shall remain the property of the Landlord. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all such access cards to Landlord and shall deliver to Landlord the keys and combinations to all locks on all safes, cabinets and vaults which will remain in the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to install, operate and maintain a card reader and after-hours access card system, security systems and other control devices in or about the Premises and the Complex which regulate entry into the Building (or portions thereof) and monitor, by closed circuit television or otherwise, all persons leaving or entering the Complex, the Building and the Premises. Tenant hereby acknowledges that any such security systems and other control devices are intended to be solely for the benefit of Landlord and protecting its property, and while certain incidental benefits may accrue to Tenant therefrom, any such security is not for the purpose of protecting either the property of Tenant or the safety of its employees, agents or invitees. By providing any such security, Landlord assumes no obligation to Tenant and shall have no liability arising therefrom.
          7.3 Tenant’s Signage
               7.3.1 Identification and Directory Signage.

As used herein, the “Shared Lobby Sign Conditions” shall mean the following: (A) that, as of the date of Tenant’s delivery of the Shared Lobby Sign Notice to Landlord, the sum of (1) the total square feet of Rentable Area leased by Tenant in the Building pursuant to this Lease, plus (2) the total square feet of Rentable Area leased by Tenant in the 2855 E.

                    (c) Insurance/Maintenance/Removal.

removed all of Tenant’s Complex Signage (or such applicable signs comprising Tenant’s Complex Signage as to which Tenant has lost such rights pursuant to Section 7.3.2(d) below, as the case may be), and Tenant shall repair all damage occasioned thereby and restore the portions of the Building and Complex where such applicable Tenant’s Complex Signage was located to their original condition prior to the installation of such applicable Tenant’s Complex Signage. If Tenant fails to timely remove any of the signs comprising Tenant’s Complex Signage so required to be removed and repair and restore the Building and Complex as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may perform such work, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so performing such work shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor including interest at the Interest Rate. The immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
                    (d) Default; Rights Personal. Tenant’s signage rights under this Section 7.3.2: (i) are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease (the “Original Tenant”) and any person or entity to which Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease (including the rights to Tenant’s Complex Signage) has been assigned pursuant to and in accordance with Article 10 below (herein, a “Permitted Assignee”); (ii) may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, and shall only be utilized when (A) the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, is in actual and physical possession of the entire Premises, and (B) with respect to (1) the Shared Lobby Sign, when the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee is in actual and physical possession of at least both (x) 160,000 square feet of Rentable Area of the Building and the 2855 E. Cottonwood Building, and (y) the 80% Portion after Tenant’s lease of the 80% Portion has commenced, and (2) the Building Exterior Sign, when the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee is in actual and physical possession of at least 150,000 square feet of Rentable Area of the Building and the 2855 E. Cottonwood Building; and (iii) may not be transferred to or used by any person or entity other than the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be; provided, however, any name change on any of Tenant’s Complex Signage to reflect the name of any Permitted Assignee or to reflect a change in the name of Tenant shall be permitted so long as the name is not an Objectionable Name (as defined below) and, with respect to the Shared Lobby Sign, is approved by the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease. The phrase “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name which (I) relates to an entity which is (aa) of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Complex as a first-class office building complex, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings, or (bb) a direct competitor of any tenant in the Complex leasing a full floor or more of any building in the Complex at the time of such name change, or (II) would result in a breach or violation by Landlord (and with respect to the Shared Lobby Sign, a breach or violation by the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord) of any exclusive use provisions, signage restrictions or any other terms or provisions contained in any other leases of space in the Complex.
               7.3.3 Prohibited Signage. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3 above and in the Monument Sign Addendum attached to this Lease, Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed on any exterior door, wall or window of the Premises, on any part of the inside of the Premises which is visible from outside of the Premises, or elsewhere on the Complex, any sign, decoration, notice, logo, picture, lettering, attachment, advertising matter or other thing of any kind, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written approval, which Landlord

-29-


 

may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant or withhold. Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost, upon reasonable notice but without liability to Tenant, enter the Premises and remove any item erected in violation of this Section. Landlord may establish rules and regulations governing the size, type and design of all such items and Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations.
          7.4 Charges. In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay for all electricity used by any Supplemental AC Units installed in the Server Room pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as billed, as Additional Rent, such charges as may be separately metered or as Landlord may compute for the following (each, an “Overstandard Use”): (a) any utility services utilized by Tenant for computers, data processing equipment or other electrical equipment in excess of that agreed to be furnished by Landlord pursuant to Section 7.1; (b) lighting installed in the Premises which consumes electricity in excess of Building Standard lighting; (c) other than HVAC provided by any Supplemental AC Units installed by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above, HVAC in excess of that stated in Section 7.1(a) or provided at times other than during the Building Operating Hours; and (d) janitorial services required with respect to Tenant Improvements within the Premises considered above-standard for reasonable office uses by tenants in the Comparable Buildings. If Tenant wishes to use HVAC for the Premises (other than HVAC provided by any Supplemental AC Units installed by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above) at times other than during the Building Operating Hours, Landlord shall supply such HVAC at an hourly cost to Tenant of $20.00 per HVAC zone so provided, as adjusted from time to time by Landlord consistent with prevailing market charges for such use. Landlord may utilize a lighting and utility occupancy sensor in order to automatically determine and control use of HVAC (other than HVAC provided by any Supplemental AC Units installed by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above), electrical and other utility services. Landlord may elect to estimate the charges to be paid by Tenant under this Section 7.4 for any Overstandard Use (which charges shall equal the actual, out-of-pocket costs to provide the additional services for such Overstandard Use plus the cost of installation and maintenance of any equipment installed in order to supply such additional services, plus the cost of any increased wear and tear and depreciation on existing equipment caused thereby, but shall not include any administration fees), and bill such charges to Tenant monthly in advance, in which event Tenant shall promptly pay the estimated charges. When the actual charges are determined by Landlord, an appropriate cash adjustment shall be made between Landlord and Tenant to account for any underpayment or overpayment by Tenant. The costs chargeable to Tenant for all such additional services will constitute Additional Rent.
          7.5 Operating Hours. Subject to Building Rules and Regulations and such security standards as Landlord may from time to time adopt, the Building shall be open to the public during the Building Operating Hours and access to the Premises shall be made available to Tenant during hours other than Building Operating Hours.
     8. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.
          8.1 By Landlord. Landlord shall provide the services to the Premises set forth in Section 7.1 above and shall maintain the Building (excepting the Premises and portions of the Building leased by persons not affiliated with Landlord) in a good, clean and operable condition, making such repairs and replacements as may be required to maintain the Building in such condition. All maintenance and repairs performed by Landlord shall be performed in a first

-30-


 

class, workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all applicable governmental permits, codes and regulations. This Section 8.1 shall not apply to damage resulting from a Taking (as to which Article 14 shall apply), or damage resulting from a casualty (as to which Section 15.1 shall apply), or to damage for which Tenant is otherwise responsible under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives and releases any right it may have to make repairs to the Premises or Building at Landlord’s expense under any Legal Requirements now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction in which the Building is located (it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that Tenant may make certain repairs that may be subject to reimbursement by Landlord pursuant to Section 8.3 below).
          8.2 By Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, shall maintain the nonstructural components of the Premises and every part of the Premises (including, without limitation, all floor materials, walls and ceilings and their coverings, doors and locks, furnishings, trade fixtures, signage, leasehold improvements, equipment and other personal property from time to time situated in or on the Premises) in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and in a clean, safe, operable, attractive and sanitary condition. Tenant will not commit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, any damage to the Complex caused by Tenant and/or Tenant’s employees, agents, licensees, subtenants, assignees, contractors and/or invitees If Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements (a) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord with respect to any repairs or replacements affecting the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life-safety and/or mechanical systems of the Building, any structural portions of the Building, and/or the exterior appearance of the Building or any area outside the Premises, (b) immediately after receipt of oral or written notice in the event of an emergency, or (c) within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord with respect to all repairs and replacements Tenant is required to make under this Section 8.2 other than those described in clauses (a) and (b) hereinabove, then Landlord may make the same and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost incurred by Landlord in performing such repair or replacement work, plus a five percent (5%) supervision fee, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. All contractors, workmen, artisans and other persons which or whom Tenant proposes to retain to perform work in the Premises (or the Complex, pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 8.2) pursuant to this Section 8.2 or Article 11 below shall be approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to the commencement of any such work.
          8.3 Tenant’s Self-Help Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 8, if Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of the need for repairs and/or maintenance which are Landlord’s obligation to perform under Section 8.1 above, and Landlord fails to undertake such repairs and/or maintenance within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after receipt of such notice (but in no event earlier than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, provided that in cases of emergency involving imminent threat of serious injury or damage to persons or property within the Premises, Landlord shall have only two (2) business days after receipt of such notice or such later period of time as is reasonably necessary to commence such corrective action), then Tenant may proceed to undertake such repairs and/or maintenance upon delivery of an additional ten (10) days’ notice to Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee that Tenant is taking such required action (except that, in cases of emergency involving imminent threat of serious injury or damage to persons or property within the

-31-


 

Premises, such additional ten (10) day notice shall not be required). If such repairs and/or maintenance were required under the terms of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses in performing such maintenance and/or repairs. Such reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a detailed invoice of such costs and expenses, and if Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within such 30-day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent next payable by Tenant under this Lease the amount of such invoice; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if (a) Landlord delivers to Tenant within such second ten (10) day period described above (or, in cases of emergency involving imminent threat of serious injury or damage to persons or property within the Premises, prior to Tenant proceeding to undertake the particular repairs and/or maintenance), a written objection to Tenant’s right to receive any such reimbursement based upon Landlord’s claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (b) Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice based upon Landlord’s contention that such charges are excessive (in which case, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within such 30-day period, the amount Landlord contends would not be excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such reimbursement or deduction from Rent, but Tenant, as its sole remedy, may proceed to institute legal proceedings to determine and collect the amount, if any, of such reimbursement. If Tenant undertakes such repairs and/or maintenance, and such work will affect the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life-safety and/or mechanical systems of the Building, any structural portions of the Building, the exterior appearance of the Building or any areas of the Building or Complex located outside of the Premises, Tenant shall use only those unrelated third party contractors used by Landlord for such work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work at competitive prices, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in the Comparable Buildings. Tenant shall comply with the other terms and conditions of this Lease if Tenant takes the required action, except that Tenant is not required to obtain Landlord’s consent for such repairs.
     9. TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, before they become delinquent, all taxes and assessments levied against any personal property placed by Tenant in the Premises (even if same becomes a fixture by operation of law or the property of Landlord by operation of this Lease), including any additional Impositions which may be assessed, levied, charged or imposed against Landlord or the Building by reason of non-Building Standard Items in the Premises. Tenant may withhold payments of any taxes and assessments described in this Article 9 so long as Tenant contests its obligation to pay in accordance with applicable law and the nonpayment thereof does not pose a threat of loss or seizure of the Building or any interest of Landlord therein.
     10. TRANSFER BY TENANT.
          10.1 General. Except as specifically provided in this Section 10.1 or Section 10.5 below, Tenant shall not without the prior written consent of Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned) directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, sell, assign, encumber, pledge or otherwise Transfer or hypothecate all or any part of the Premises or Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof all of the foregoing shall

-32-


 

sometimes referred to herein collectively as “Transfers” and individually as a “Transfer”; any person or entity to whom a Transfer is made or sought to be made shall sometimes be referred to herein as a “Transferee”). Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall be void. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, it shall deliver to Landlord written notice thereof (the “Transfer Notice”) in advance of the date on which Tenant proposes to make the Transfer, together with all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed Transferee. Upon request by Landlord, such Transfer Notice shall contain financial information concerning the proposed Transferee and other reasonable information regarding the transaction which Landlord may specify. Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Transfer Notice and such information within which to notify Tenant in writing whether Landlord elects (a) to refuse to consent to the Transfer and to continue this Lease in full force, or (b) to consent to the proposed Transfer, or (c) exercise its recapture rights pursuant to Section 10.3 below (unless Landlord has previously waived its recapture rights pursuant to Section 10.3 below with respect to the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to Transfer). If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing of such approval or disapproval within such 15-day period, and such failure continues for an additional five (5) business days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such failure, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Transfer. The consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not be deemed a consent to any other Transfer. If a Transfer occurs without the prior written consent of Landlord as provided herein, Landlord may nevertheless collect rent from the Transferee and apply the net amount collected to the Rent payable hereunder, but such collection and application shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions hereof or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder.
          10.2 Conditions. The following conditions shall automatically apply to each Transfer, without the necessity of same being stated or referred to in Landlord’s written consent:
               (a) Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Landlord, and cause the Transferee to execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Landlord, an instrument in form and substance acceptable to Landlord in which (i) the Transferee adopts each provision of this Lease and agrees to perform and be bound by, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of the duties, obligations and indemnities of Tenant hereunder, as to the space Transferred to it, as though Transferee were the Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, the prohibition against rent based on the income or profits derived from the Premises (any purported lease to the contrary being null and void), (ii) Tenant subordinates to Landlord’s statutory lien and security interest any liens, security interests or other rights which Tenant may claim with respect to any property of the Transferee, (iii) Tenant agrees with Landlord that, if the rent or other consideration due by the Transferee exceeds the Rent for the transferred space, then Landlord shall be entitled to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all such excess Rent and other consideration, net of reasonable leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs directly required in connection with such Transfer actually paid by Tenant (the “Transfer Premium”), which transfer Premium shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, (iv) Tenant and the Transferee agree to provide to Landlord, at their expense, direct access from a public corridor in the Building to the transferred space, (v) the Transferee agrees to use and occupy the Transferred space solely for the purpose specified in Article 4 and otherwise in strict accordance with this Lease, and (vi) Tenant acknowledges that, notwithstanding the Transfer, Tenant remains directly and primarily liable for the performance of all the obligations

-33-


 

of Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all Rent), and Landlord shall be permitted to enforce this Lease against Tenant or the Transferee, or all of them, without prior demand upon or proceeding in any way against any other persons; and
               (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of all instruments relative to the Transfer executed by all parties to such transaction (except Landlord).
               (c) If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is given, Landlord’s reasonable costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such request (not to exceed, however, $2,000.00 with respect to each proposed Transfer).
          10.3 Landlord’s Recapture Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 10, if Tenant contemplates a Transfer, then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer, which Intention to Transfer Notice (a) may also serve as the Transfer Notice required to be delivered by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.1 above, and (b) may be delivered by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 10.3 regardless of whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.3 to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for the term set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, in connection with such contemplated Transfer, by giving written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Recapture Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for a period to commence on the Contemplated Effective Date and to continue until the last day of the term of the contemplated Transfer as set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice (the “Recapture Term”), and during the Recapture Term, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Contemplated Transfer Space; Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 to the contrary: (i) the recapture right set forth herein shall only apply with respect to any proposed assignment of this Lease (other than to an Affiliate pursuant to Section 10.5 below) or any proposed sublease (other than to an Affiliate pursuant to Section 10.5 below), which sublease, when aggregated with all subleases then in effect to non-Affiliates, pertains to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises; and (ii) if Tenant notifies Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Recapture Notice that Tenant revokes Tenant’s Intention to Transfer Notice, such recapture and termination by Landlord in Landlord’s Recapture Notice shall be ineffective, but Tenant shall not be entitled to proceed with the contemplated Transfer which was the subject of Tenant’s original Intention to Transfer Notice, and Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 10.3. In the event of any recapture by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3, if this Lease is terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease, as so amended,

-34-


 

shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 10.3 within such fifteen (15) day period set forth hereinabove, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Contemplated Transfer Space to the proposed Transferee, and Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer thereof consummated during the six (6) month period of time (the “Six Month Period”) which commences on the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period; provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be subject to all of the other terms of this Article 10. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Six Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Six Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 10.3.
          10.4 Additional Transfers. Except as provided in Section 10.5 below, for purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (a) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partners or members, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partnership or membership interests of Tenant, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (b) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (i) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or (ii) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (iii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.
          10.5 Permitted Transfers to Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10 to the contrary, the assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (a) a parent or subsidiary of Tenant, or (b) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or (c) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (d) a successor to Tenant or any of the foregoing entities by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (all such persons or entities described in (a), (b), (c) and (d) being sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Affiliates”) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 10, and thus shall not be subject to the requirement of obtaining Landlord’s consent thereto in Section 10.1, Landlord’s right to receive any Transfer Premium pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Landlord’s recapture right pursuant to Section 10.3 above, provided that:
               (i) any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to (A) avoid the obligations of this Article 10, or (B) adversely affect the ability of Tenant to satisfy its obligations under this Lease;

-35-


 

               (ii) Tenant gives Landlord notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate no later than ten (10) business days after such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate has been executed;
               (iii) the successor of Tenant and Tenant have as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease a tangible net worth, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;
               (iv) any such assignment or sublease shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assignee or sublessee shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of such Transfer (other than the amount of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of the Building Allocated Operating Expenses payable by Tenant with respect to a sublease); and
               (v) Tenant shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring Affiliate shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
     “Control”, as used in this Section 10.5, shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, or ownership of any sort, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
          10.6 Liens. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not grant, place or suffer, or permit to be granted, placed or suffered, against the Complex or any portion thereof (excepting Tenant’s personal property), any lien, security interest, pledge, conditional sale contract, claim, charge or encumbrance (whether constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) and, if any of the aforesaid does arise or is asserted, Tenant will, promptly upon demand by Landlord and at Tenant’s expense, cause the same to be released.
          10.7 Assignments in Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the Estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.
     11. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make (or permit to be made) any change, addition or improvement to the Premises (including, without limitation, the attachment of any fixture or equipment) (collectively, the “Alterations” and individually, an “Alteration”) unless such Alteration: (a) equals or exceeds the Building Standard and utilizes only new and first-grade materials; (b) is in conformity with all Legal Requirements, and is made after obtaining any required permits and licenses; (c) is made with the prior written consent of Landlord not to

-36-


 

be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (d) is made pursuant to plans and specifications approved in writing in advance by Landlord; (e) with respect to any Alterations the cost of which is expected to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), is made after Tenant has provided to Landlord such reasonable indemnification and/or bonds requested by Landlord, including, without limitation, a performance and completion bond in such form and amount as may be satisfactory to Landlord to protect against claims and liens for labor performed and materials furnished, and to insure the completion of any Alteration; (f) is carried out by persons reasonably approved in writing by Landlord who, if required by Landlord, deliver to Landlord before commencement of their work proof of such insurance coverage as Landlord may reasonably require, with Landlord named as an additional insured; and (g) is done only at such time and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably specify. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its consent or disapproval of any such proposed Alterations within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request therefor, together with all final plans and specifications for such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant may make non-structural Alterations to the interior of the Premises (collectively, the “Acceptable Changes”) without Landlord’s consent, provided that (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of such Acceptable Changes (the “Acceptable Change Notice”) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, (ii) the cost of each such Acceptable Change does not exceed $25,000.00 per job, and the aggregate cost of all Acceptable Changes does not exceed $50,000.00 in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, (iii) such Acceptable Changes shall be performed by or on behalf of Tenant in compliance with the other provisions of this Article 11, (iv) such Acceptable Changes do not require the issuance of a building permit or other governmental approval, (v) such Acceptable Changes do not affect the structural components of the Building or any mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and/or life-safety systems of the Building, (vi) such Acceptable Changes are not visible from or affect any area located outside the Premises, and (vii) such Acceptable Changes shall be performed by qualified contractors and subcontractors which normally and regularly perform similar work in the Complex or other first-class office and retail complexes in the Cottonwood sub-market of Salt Lake City, Utah (collectively, the “Comparable Buildings”). Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of any such Alterations, and shall pay to Landlord all actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such Alterations. Except as otherwise provided hereinbelow, all such Alterations (including all articles attached to the floor, wall or ceiling of the Premises) shall become the property of Landlord. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, cause such Alterations to be (A) surrendered with the Premises as part thereof at the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, without any payment, reimbursement or compensation therefor, or (B) removed by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, on or prior to the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, with all damage caused by such removal repaired by Tenant; provided, however, with respect to Alterations made or caused to be made by Tenant with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove such Alterations unless at the time Landlord approved the final working drawings for any such Alterations (or, with respect to any Acceptable Change, no later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Acceptable Change Notice applicable thereto), Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, identified those Alterations which Landlord would require Tenant to remove at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, in which event Tenant shall remove such identified Alterations on or before the expiration of the Term of the Lease and repair any damage resulting from such removal. Tenant shall reimburse, indemnify, defend and

-37-


 

hold harmless Landlord from and against all costs, liens, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may arise out of, or be connected in any way with, any such Alterations. Within thirty (30) days following the imposition of any lien resulting from any such Alterations, Tenant shall cause such lien to be released of record by payment of money or posting of a proper bond.
     12. PROHIBITED USES.
          12.1 General. Tenant will not (a) use, occupy or permit the use or occupancy of the Complex or Premises for any purpose or in any manner which is or may be, directly or indirectly, violative of any Legal Requirement, or contrary to Building Rules and Regulations, or dangerous to life or property, or a public or private nuisance, or disrupt or obstruct the owners or any other tenant of the Building or adjacent buildings, (b) keep or permit to be kept any substance in, or conduct or permit to be conducted any operation from, the Premises which might emit offensive odors or conditions into other portions of the Building or Complex, or make undue noise or create undue vibrations, (c) commit or permit to remain any waste to the Complex or Premises, (d) install or permit to remain any improvements to the Complex or Premises, window coverings or other items (other than window coverings which have first been approved by Landlord) which are visible from the outside of the Premises, or exceed the structural loads of floors or walls of the Building or Complex, or adversely affect the mechanical, plumbing or electrical systems of the Building, or affect the structural integrity of the Building in any way, (e) permit the occupancy of the Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease to exceed one person (including visitors) per two hundred (200) square feet Rentable Area of space in the Premises, (f) violate any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions that now or later affect the Complex or Building, or (g) commit or permit to be committed any action or circumstance in or about the Complex or Building which, directly or indirectly, would or might justify any insurance carrier in canceling or increasing the premium on the fire and extended coverage insurance policy maintained by Landlord on the Complex or Building or contents, and if any increase results from any act of Tenant, then Tenant shall pay such increase promptly upon demand therefor by Landlord.
          12.2 Hazardous Materials.
               12.2.1 Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Use; Tenant Remediation; Tenant Indemnity. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material (defined below) to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises or Complex by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use and store types and quantities of materials and substances which may be or contain Hazardous Materials, provided that the same are of the type and in the quantities customarily found or used in offices for use of similar businesses, including packaging materials, commercial cleaning fluids and photocopier fluids. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises or Complex caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the Premises or Complex, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities and losses which arise during or after the Term of this Lease as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord includes, without limitation, the obligation to reimburse Landlord for costs incurred in

-38-


 

connection with any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in, on or about the Premises or Complex caused by or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises or Complex, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises or Complex to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any Hazardous Material; provided, however, that Landlord’s approval of such action shall first be obtained. “Hazardous Material” shall mean, in the broadest sense, any petroleum-based products, pesticides, paints, insolvents, polychlorinated, biphenyl, lead, cyanide, DDT, acids, ammonium compounds and other chemical products and any substance or material defined or designated as a hazardous or toxic, or other similar term, by any federal, state or local environmental statute, regulation or ordinance affecting the Premises or Complex presently in effect or that may be promulgated in the future, as such statutes, regulations and ordinances may be amended from time to time. In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord’s request concerning Tenant’s knowledge and belief (without duty of investigation) regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the Premises or Complex. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease from any release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises to the extent caused by, or resulting from the acts of, Tenant or Tenant’s employees, directors, partners, shareholders, contractors, agents, invitees or representatives (collectively, the “Tenant Affiliates”) occurring while Tenant is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The within covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
               12.2.2 Landlord Remediation; Landlord Indemnity. To the extent required by any governmental agency pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense (which shall not be included in Operating Expenses), remediate any Hazardous Materials located in, on or under the Building and/or the Complex (but excluding the Premises) to the extent (a) such Hazardous Materials (i) are in existence as of the Initial Premises Commencement Date, (ii) were not introduced or otherwise cause by Tenant or any Tenant Affiliates, and (iii) are in violation of applicable Legal Requirements in effect as of the Initial Premises Commencement Date, and/or (b) the need for such remediation results from Landlord or the Landlord agents, contractors or employees bringing upon, keeping or using any Hazardous Materials in connection with the Building and/or the Complex in violation of any Legal Requirements in existence as of the date such Hazardous Materials are brought upon, kept or used by Landlord or Landlord agents, contractors or employees. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against the cost of any such remediation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
               12.2.3 Abatement of Rent in Event of Landlord Remediation. If Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for the permitted use set forth in Article 4 above as a result of Landlord’s performance of any remediation of Hazardous Materials pursuant to Section 12.2.2 above (a “Hazardous Materials Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event (the “Hazardous Materials Abatement Notice”) and Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Building Allocated Operating Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day following Landlord’s receipt of such Hazardous Materials Abatement Notice of such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event and

-39-


 

continuing during such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the square feet of Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises. In addition (a) if Landlord has not cured such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event within sixty (60) days (the “Repair Window”) after receipt of the Hazardous Materials Abatement Notice, and (b) as a result of such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a substantial portion of the Premises such that Tenant cannot reasonably conduct its ordinary business operations from the entire Premises, then, subject to the following, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon at least twenty (20) business days’ prior written notice (the “Hazardous Materials Abatement Event Termination Notice”) to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the following shall apply to the determination of any Repair Window: (i) the Repair Window shall be extended day for day for each day Landlord is delayed in curing such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event due to an event of Force Majeure and/or any delays caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or employees, agents, representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees; and (ii) if the Hazardous Materials Abatement Event is such that it would take more than sixty (60) days to cure, and Landlord timely and diligently commences such cure within such sixty (60) day period, then the Repair Window shall be extended for as long as Landlord is diligently pursuing the same to completion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.2.3 to the contrary, any Hazardous Materials Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be null and void if Landlord cures such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event within such twenty (20) business day period following receipt of such Hazardous Materials Abatement Event Termination Notice.
          12.3 Overstandard Tenant Use. Except for Tenant’s installation of its computer equipment in the Server Room and provided Tenant also installs the separate AC Units for cooling therefor pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, other than standard equipment or lighting, or machines other than normal fractional horsepower office machines, in the Premises that may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the HVAC system or increase the water normally furnished to the Premises by Landlord.
     13. ACCESS BY LANDLORD. Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice to Tenant (except in case of emergency or to perform janitorial services), Landlord, its employees, contractors, agents and representatives, shall have the right (and Landlord, for itself and such persons and firms, hereby reserves the right) to enter the Premises at all hours (a) to inspect, clean, maintain and/or repair the Premises or the Building, (b) to show the Premises to prospective purchasers (or, during the last nine (9) months of the Term, to prospective tenants), (c) to determine whether Tenant is performing its obligations hereunder and, if it is not, and if such failure continues for twenty (20) days following notice by Landlord (except that no such notice shall be required in cases of emergency), to perform same at Landlord’s option and Tenant’s expense, provided such charge is reasonable and competitive, or (d) for any other commercially reasonable purpose. Any such entry by Landlord shall be accomplished as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule entries into the Premises under this Article 13 with Tenant (except if not reasonably practicable in emergencies) so that Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may provide an employee or a

-40-


 

representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord. In an emergency, Landlord (and such persons and firms) may use any means to open any door into or in the Premises without any liability therefor. Entry into the Premises by Landlord or any other person or firm named in the first sentence of this Article 13 for any purpose permitted herein shall not constitute a trespass or an eviction (constructive or otherwise), or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent, or constitute grounds for any claim (and Tenant hereby waives any claim) for damages for any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business, for loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment, or for consequential damages.
     14. CONDEMNATION. If all of the Complex is Taken, or if so much of the Complex is Taken that, in Landlord’s opinion, the remainder cannot be restored to an economically viable, quality office building complex, of if all of the Building is Taken, or if so much of the Building is Taken that, in Landlord’s opinion, the remainder cannot be restored to an economically viable, quality office building, or if the awards payable to Landlord as a result of any Taking of the Complex or Building are, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, inadequate to restore the remainder of the Complex or the Building, respectively, to an economically viable, quality office building complex or building, respectively (such Taking described in the foregoing referred to herein as a “Complete Taking”), then Landlord may, at its election, exercisable by the giving of written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such Complete Taking, terminate this Lease as of the date of such Complete Taking or the date Tenant is deprived of possession of the Premises (whichever is later); provided, however, Landlord shall have no right to so terminate this Lease in the event of such Complete Taking unless Landlord terminates the leases of all tenants in the Building which leases contain similar termination rights in favor of Landlord as provided herein. Tenant may, at its election, exercisable by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice to Landlord, terminate this Lease if a substantial (greater than 10%) portion of the Premises is Taken rendering the Premises inadequate for its continued use and occupancy by Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a Taking, Landlord shall restore the Premises remaining after the Taking to its condition immediately prior to the Taking (or as near as reasonably practicable). During the period of restoration, Base Rent shall be abated to the extent the Premises are rendered untenantable and, after the period of restoration, Base Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be reduced in the proportion that the Rentable Area of the Premises Taken or otherwise rendered untenantable bears to the Rentable Area of the Premises just prior to the Taking. If any portion of Base Rent is abated under this Article 14, Landlord may elect to extend the expiration date of the Term for the period of the abatement. All awards, proceeds, compensation or other payments from or with respect to any Taking of the Complex or any portion thereof shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title, interest and claim to same. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of a Taking, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total Taking, including any award for severance damage and any sums compensating for diminution in the value of or deprivation of the leasehold estate under this Lease, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord. Tenant may assert a claim for and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be awarded on account of Tenant’s moving and relocation expenses, and depreciation to and loss of Tenant’s moveable personal property. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the occurrence of any Taking, or for the termination of this Lease or a reduction in the Premises as a result of any Taking.

     15. CASUALTY.
          15.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 15, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Complex, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Complex and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord (but which are consistent with the character of the Complex), provided access to the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 17.1(b) below with respect to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair of such tenant improvements and alterations by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs of such tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of the damage thereto. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not used by Tenant as a result thereof (such abatement shall be in the proportion that the square feet of Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises).
          15.2 Termination Rights.
               15.2.1 Landlord Repair; Landlord Termination Right. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord becomes aware of any damage resulting from a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Damage Notice”) of the estimated time, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s licensed contractor, required to substantially complete the repairs of such damage (the “Estimated Repair Period”). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 15.1 above, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building

-42-


 

and/or any other portion of the Complex and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within such thirty (30) day period described hereinabove, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Complex shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (a) repairs cannot in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s licensed contractor, as set forth in Landlord’s Damage Notice, be substantially completed two hundred seventy (270) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (b) any Landlord’s Mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Complex and/or the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (c) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies, and the cost of repairing such uninsured or underinsured damage, excluding deductibles, exceeds the Threshold Amount (as defined below). As used herein, the “Threshold Amount” shall mean $1,000,000.00.
               15.2.2 Tenant Termination Right. If (a) Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, (b) the damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event (as defined hereinbelow), and (c) the repair of such damage cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s licensed contractor, as set forth in Landlord’s Damage Notice, be substantially completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Damage Notice. As used herein, a “Tenant Damage Event” shall mean damage to all or any part of the Premises or any Common Areas of the Building providing access to the Premises by fire or other casualty, which damage (i) is not the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Affiliates, (ii) materially interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises and (iii) would entitle Tenant to an abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Building Allocated Operating Expenses and pursuant to Section 15.1 above.
               15.2.3 Additional Tenant Termination Right. In addition, in the event of a Tenant Damage Event, and if neither Landlord nor Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, but Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such Tenant Damage Event within the period (“Landlord’s Repair Period”) that is sixty (60) days after the later of (a) two hundred ten (210) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage or (b) the Estimated Repair Period plus, in either case, the number of days of delay, if any, attributable to events of Force Majeure, plus the number of days of delay, if any, attributable to the acts and/or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Affiliates, then Tenant shall have an additional right to terminate this Lease within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of Landlord’s Repair Period and thereafter during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the expiration of Landlord’s Repair Period until such time as the repairs described on Landlord’s Damage Notice are substantially complete, by written termination notice delivered to Landlord within such applicable 15-day or 5-business day period.
               15.2.4 Casualty in Last Year of Term. Further, if the Premises, Building or Complex is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 15, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, and to the extent such destruction or damage

-43-


 

constitutes a Tenant Damage Event and the repair of same is reasonable expected by Landlord to require more than the lesser of (a) thirty (30) days, and (b) the number of days then remaining in the Term of this Lease, to substantially complete, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, by giving written termination notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within fifteen (15) days after such damage or destruction.
               15.2.5 Miscellaneous Termination Provisions. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises any of its options to terminate this Lease as provided above in this Section 15.2: (a) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date set forth in such party’s termination notice, which termination date shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days after such termination notice is delivered to the other party; provided, however, that if the termination notice is delivered as a result of a casualty damage occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of the Lease, such termination date shall be no less than fifteen (15) days and no more than thirty (30) days after such termination notice is delivered to such other party; (b) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination and subject to abatement as provided in Section 15.1 above; and (c) both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease.
          15.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 15, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Complex, and any statute or regulation of the State of Utah with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Complex.
     16. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT.
          16.1 General. This Lease, Tenant’s leasehold estate created hereby, and all of Tenant’s rights, titles and interests hereunder and in and to the Premises are hereby made subject and subordinate to any Mortgage presently existing or hereafter placed upon all or any portion of the Complex, and to any and all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements of any Mortgage and all advances made or hereafter to be made on the security of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a condition precedent to the subordination of this Lease to any future Mortgage is that Landlord shall obtain for the benefit of Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the Mortgagee under such future Mortgage, and (b) Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee may, at any time upon the giving of written notice to Tenant and without any compensation or consideration being payable to Tenant, make this Lease, and the aforesaid leasehold estate and rights, titles and interests, superior to any Mortgage. In order to confirm the subordination (or, at the election of Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, the superiority of this Lease), within twenty (20) days after Tenant receives a written request therefor from Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, , and without any compensation or consideration being payable to Tenant, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Landlord such agreement as shall be reasonably required by

-44-


 

Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee to confirm that this Lease, Tenant’s leasehold estate in the Premises and all of Tenant’s rights, titles and interests hereunder are subject and subordinate (or, at the election of Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, superior) to the Mortgage benefiting Landlord’s Mortgagee. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such agreement as and when required in this Article 16 shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of execution of this Lease, there is no Mortgage encumbering the Building and the Building is not subject to any ground lease.
          16.2 Attornment. Upon the written request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall automatically become the tenant of and attorn to such successor in interest without any change in any of the terms of this Lease. No successor in interest shall be (a) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance, except payments of security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or (b) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord, except to the extent of any non-monetary default that continues after such successor-in-interest takes ownership of the Building. Any transferee or successor-in-interest of Landlord shall not be liable for any acts, omissions or defaults of Landlord that occurred before the sale or conveyance, or the return of any security deposit (except for deposits actually paid to the successor or transferee), except with respect to any non-monetary defaults which continue after such transferee or successor-in-interest takes ownership of the Building. Tenant agrees to give written notice of any default by Landlord to the holder of any Mortgage. Tenant further agrees that, before it exercises any rights or remedies under this Lease arising as a result of any default by Landlord (other than Rent abatement and/or self-help rights as expressly provided in this Lease), the holder of any Mortgage or other successor-in-interest shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default within the same time, if any, given to Landlord to cure the default, plus an additional thirty (30) days. The subordination, attornment and mortgagee protection clauses of this Article 16 shall be self-operative and no further instruments of subordination, attornment or mortgagee protection need be required by any Landlord’s Mortgagee or successor in interest thereto. Nevertheless, upon the written request therefor by Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee or any such survivor, and without any compensation or consideration being payable to Tenant, Tenant agrees to execute, have acknowledged and deliver such instruments of subordination, attornment and/or mortgagee protection as such party may reasonably request.
     17. INSURANCE.
          17.1 General. Tenant shall obtain and maintain the following policies of insurance at all times following the date which is the earlier of (i) Tenant’s entry into the Premises to perform any work therein, or (ii) the Initial Premises Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter throughout the Term:
               (a) commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, including, without limitation, contractual liability coverage for the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Article 18;

-45-


 

               (b) hazard insurance with special causes of loss, including theft coverage, insuring against fire, extended coverage risks, vandalism and malicious mischief, and including boiler and sprinkler leakage coverage, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation) of all furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, alterations, equipment, merchandise and other personal property from time to time situated in or on the Premises;
               (c) workers’ compensation insurance satisfying Tenant’s obligations under the workers’ compensation laws of the State of Utah;
               (d) business interruption, loss-of-income and extra expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings for at least twelve (12) months attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building or Complex as a result of such perils; provided, however, that Tenant may self-insure with regard to the risks described in this Section 17.1(d), provided that in all instances such self-insurance shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such insurance as required in this Section 17.1, and Tenant hereby waives any right it may have against Landlord with respect to any Claims that would otherwise have been covered by this insurance coverage described in this Section 17.1(d);
               (e) comprehensive automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance, or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles;
               (f) excess liability insurance covering the risks described in Sections 17.1(a) and (e), such that the limits thereunder are no less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000); and
               (g) such other policy or policies of insurance as Landlord may reasonably require or as Landlord is then generally requiring from other tenants in the Building.
Such minimum limits shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. The liability insurance described in Sections 17.1(a), (e) and (f) above shall name Landlord, Hines Interest Limited Partnership, National Office Partners Limited Partnership, and any other person specified from time to time by Landlord, as additional insureds using an ISO Additional Insured Endorsement CG2037 or CG2026; such property insurance shall name Landlord as a loss payee as Landlord’s interests may appear; and both such liability and property insurance shall be with companies acceptable to Landlord, having a rating of not less than A:VIII in the most recent issue of Best’s Key Rating Guide. All liability policies maintained by Tenant shall contain a provision that Landlord and any other additional insured, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under such policies for any loss sustained by Landlord and Landlord’s agents and employees as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of coverage upon the full execution of this Lease and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not

-46-


 

contributing with and not in excess of the coverage which Landlord may carry, and contain commercially reasonable deductibles. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals of, or binders for, such policies. Any Landlord’s Mortgagee may, at Landlord’s option, be afforded coverage under any policy required to be secured by Tenant under this Lease by use of a mortgagee’s endorsement to the policy concerned. At Tenant’s option, Tenant may provide the coverages required under this Section 17.1 through blanket policies of insurance covering Tenant’s other properties so long as the coverage required under this Lease with respect to the Premises, Building and Complex is not reduced or impaired as a result thereof (including as a result of any claims made or aggregate limits with respect to such other properties).
          17.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all claims, rights of recovery and causes of action that either party or any party claiming by, through or under such party may now or hereafter have by subrogation or otherwise against the other party or against any of the other party’s members, officers, directors, shareholders, partners or employees for any loss or damage that may occur to the Complex, the Premises, the leasehold improvements, alterations, personal property or any of the contents of any of the foregoing by reason of fire or other casualty, or by reason of any other cause (including, without limitation, the negligence of the parties hereto or their officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners or employees), that could have been insured against by the claiming party under the terms of (a) in the case of Landlord, the fire and extended coverage insurance policies required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord under Section 17.3(a) below, and (b) in the case of Tenant, the fire and extended coverage insurance policies required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under Section 17.1(b) above; provided, however, that the waiver set forth in this Section 17.2 shall not apply to any deductibles on insurance policies carried by Landlord or to any coinsurance penalty which Landlord might sustain. Landlord and Tenant shall cause an endorsement to be issued to their respective insurance policies recognizing this waiver of subrogation. In addition, Tenant shall cause all other occupants of the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver contained in this Section and to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights endorsements.
          17.3 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and maintain throughout the Term of the Lease the following policies of insurance:
               (a) all-risk property damage insurance on the Building (but excluding, at Landlord’s option, the property required to be insured by Tenant pursuant to Section 17.1(b) above), and personal property owned by Landlord at the Complex in the amount of the full replacement values thereof, as the values may exist from time to time; Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages (including earthquake and/or flood insurance) as it may deem necessary or desirable; and
               (b) general liability insurance covering Landlord’s operations and the Building with combined single limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage; and
All such policies shall be issued by reasonable insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises are located.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Article 18 above or elsewhere in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant, or Tenant be liable to Landlord, for any loss of business, lost profits or other consequential damages (collectively, “Consequential Damages”), resulting from or in connection with this Lease, including any matter relating to or arising out of the occupancy or use of the Premises and/or other areas of the Building or Complex (except for any Consequential Damages that may be recoverable by Landlord under Section 5.9 above as a result of any holdover by Tenant, and except for any future Rent that may be recoverable by Landlord under Section 24.2 below following any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease).

-48-


 

with any Legal Requirements now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as may be supplemented and amended). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible for making all alterations and improvements required by applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as may be supplemented and amended) with respect to the items which are Landlord’s responsibility to repair and maintain pursuant to Section 8.1 above, the cost of which may be included in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted in Section 5.4 above; provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after invoice, for the costs of any such improvements and alterations and other compliance costs hereinabove (collectively, the “Tenant Related Compliance Costs”) to the extent necessitated by or resulting from (a) any Alterations and/or tenant improvements (including the initial Tenant Improvements described in the Tenant Work Letter) installed by or on behalf of Tenant, (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees or licensees that is not covered by insurance obtained, or required to be obtained by, Landlord as part of Operating Expenses, and/or (c) Tenant’s specific manner of use of the Premises (as distinguished from general office use therein).
     21. CONTROL OF COMMON AREAS. Landlord shall have the exclusive control over the Common Areas. Provided that no Adverse Condition results therefrom, Landlord may, from time to time, create different Common Areas, close or otherwise modify the Common Areas, and reasonably modify the Building Rules and Regulations with respect thereto.
     22. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]
     23. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Provided Tenant has performed all its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, use and enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Lease.
     24. DEFAULT BY TENANT.

               (a) the failure of Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease as and when due hereunder and the continuance of such failure for a period of five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the failure; provided, however, that the obligation of Tenant to pay a late charge or interest pursuant to this Lease shall commence as of the due date of the Rent or other monetary obligation and not on the expiration of any grace period; provided, further, after Landlord has given Tenant written notice pursuant to this Section 24.1(a) on two separate occasions in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant any further notice under this Section 24.1(a);

-49-


 

               (b) the involuntary transfer by Tenant of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or, other than specifically permitted pursuant to Article 10 hereof, the voluntary attempt to or actual transfer of its interest in this Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent;
               (c) the failure of Tenant to discharge any lien placed as a result of Tenant’s action or inaction upon the Premises or Building as set forth hereunder within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord;
               (d) the failure of Tenant to perform, comply with or observe any other term, condition or provision in this Lease, and the continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the failure, or, if reasonably required, such longer period (not to exceed 120 days) so long as Tenant timely and diligently commences and continues to completion the required cure;
               (e) the filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term “Tenant” also meaning, for the purpose of this Section 24.1(e), any guarantor of the named Tenant’s obligations hereunder) (i) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, (ii) seeking any relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar debtor relief law, (iii) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or (iv) to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure; and
               (f) the admission by Tenant in writing that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due or the making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
The parties hereby acknowledge that Tenant is also a party to that certain Lease Agreement dated concurrently herewith (the “2855 E. Cottonwood Lease”), between NOP Cottonwood 2855, LLC, a Delaware limited liability partnership (such entity, and any successor or assignee thereof, shall be referred to herein as the “2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord”), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant, pursuant to which 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord currently leases to Tenant and Tenant currently leases from 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord certain space located in that certain office building in the Complex addressed as 2855 East Cottonwood Parkway, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121 (the “2855 E. Cottonwood Building”). Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the occurrence of any event which constitutes a default by Tenant under the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease after the expiration of any notice and cure period thereunder (a “2855 E. Cottonwood Default”) shall also be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, and shall entitle Landlord to pursue any and all rights and remedies under this Lease with respect thereto as provided in Section 24.2 below
          24.2 Remedies of Landlord. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option in its sole discretion, and in addition to all other rights, remedies and recourses afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, do any one or more of the following:
               (a) terminate this Lease by the giving of written notice to Tenant; reenter the Premises; eject all parties in possession thereof; repossess and enjoy the Premises and all tenant improvements and alterations therein; and recover from Tenant all of the following: (i) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination, (ii) all amounts due

-50-


 

under Section 24.3 below, and (iii) liquidated damages in an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term of this Lease discounted to present value at the prime lending rate (or equivalent rate, however denominated) in effect on the date of termination at the largest national bank in the state where the Complex is located, minus (B) the then-present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted, plus any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, brokers’ commissions or finder’s fees;
               (b) terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by the giving of written notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (ii) all amounts due from time to time under Section 24.3 below, and (iii) all Rent and other sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term of this Lease, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during said period. Reentry by Landlord in the Premises will not affect the obligations of Tenant hereunder for the unexpired Term of this Lease. Landlord may bring action against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until expiration of the Term. If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 24.2(b), it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 24.2(a) above;
               (c) if an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may remove and store any property that remains on the Premises and, if Tenant does not claim such property within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice of such storage, Landlord may appropriate, sell, destroy or otherwise dispose of the property in question without notice to Tenant or any other person, and without any obligation to account for such property; and/or
               (d) no taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as Landlord’s acceptance of a surrender of the Premises by Tenant or an election of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any leasing or subletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for Tenant’s previous breach.
          24.3 Payment by Tenant. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in (a) retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Premises, (b) removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property, (c) the unamortized Tenant Improvement Costs except to the extent Tenant has already compensated Landlord for such Tenant Improvement Costs pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, (d) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, (e) reletting all or any part of the Premises, (f) paying or performing the underlying obligation set forth in this Lease which Tenant failed to pay or perform, and (g) enforcing any of Landlord’s rights, remedies or recourses arising as a consequence of the Event of Default.

-51-


 

          24.4 Reletting. Upon termination of this Lease or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different than the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to and improvements of the Premises); however, Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other portions of the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due with respect to such reletting. If Landlord relets the Premises, rent Landlord receives from such reletting shall be applied to the payment of: first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent (if any); second, all costs, including for maintenance and alterations, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and third, Rent due and unpaid. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to the excess of any rent obtained by reletting over the Rent herein reserved.
          24.5 Landlord’s Right to Pay or Perform. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so and without thereby waiving or curing such Event of Default, pay or perform the underlying obligation for the account of Tenant, and enter the Premises and expend any sums for such purpose. All amounts so expended by the Landlord shall be immediately due and payable as Additional Rent upon notice to the Tenant.
          24.6 No Waiver; No Implied Surrender. Provisions of this Lease may only be waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the provision evidencing the waiver in writing. Thus, neither the acceptance of Rent by Landlord following an Event of Default (whether known to Landlord or not), nor any other custom or practice followed in connection with this Lease, shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of such Event of Default or any other Event of Default. Further, the failure by Landlord to complain of any action or inaction by Tenant, or to assert that any action or inaction by Tenant constitutes (or would constitute, with the giving of notice and the passage of time) an Event of Default, regardless of how long such failure continues, shall not extinguish, waive or in any way diminish the rights, remedies and recourses of Landlord with respect to such action or inaction. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or of any breach by Tenant of any obligation of Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof, or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision hereof. Landlord’s consent to any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to any subsequent act of Tenant. No act or omission by Landlord (other than Landlord’s execution of a document acknowledging such surrender) or Landlord’s agents, including the delivery of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises.
          25. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease, and Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any right, remedy or recourse against Landlord or otherwise as a consequence of any alleged default by Landlord under this Lease, unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord and (provided that Tenant shall have been given the name and address of Landlord’s Mortgagee) Landlord’s Mortgagee written notice thereof specifying, with reasonable particularity, the nature of Landlord’s failure. If, however, the failure cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee commences to cure the failure within the thirty (30) days and thereafter pursues the curing of same diligently to completion. Upon any such default by

-52-


 

Landlord under this Lease which remains uncured after the expiration of the foregoing notice and cure periods, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies provided in this Lease or available to Tenant at law or in equity, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and none shall be exclusive of each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Lease to the contrary: (a) the liability of Landlord under this Lease (including with respect to any monetary or other judgment or award obtained against Landlord for Landlord’s default of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or otherwise) shall be limited solely to Tenant’s actual direct damages (and not Consequential Damages), and shall be satisfied only out of the interest of Landlord in the Complex as the same may then be encumbered, including insurance and rental proceeds (and Landlord shall not otherwise be liable for any deficiency); and (b) in no event shall Tenant have the right in connection with any such default, judgment or award or otherwise to levy execution against any property of Landlord other than Landlord’s interest in the Complex. The foregoing, however, shall not limit any right that Tenant might have to obtain specific performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
     26. RIGHT OF REENTRY. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease for whatever cause, or upon the exercise by Landlord of its right to reenter the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall immediately, quietly and peaceably surrender to Landlord possession of the Premises and all Tenant Improvements and other leasehold improvements and alterations not required by Landlord to be removed pursuant to Article 11 above in “broom clean” and good order, condition and repair, except only for ordinary wear and tear, damage by casualty not required to repaired by Tenant under Section 15.1 above and repairs to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.1 above. In addition, upon the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its expense, remove Tenant’s trade fixtures, office supplies, movable office furniture and equipment not attached to the Building, and repair all damage caused by such removal. Landlord hereby waives any lien Landlord may have (as a result of a Tenant default under this Lease or otherwise) on any trade fixtures, office supplies, movable office furniture and equipment or other personal property of Tenant’s in the Premises. All personal property, trade fixtures and other property of Tenant not removed from the Premises on the abandonment of the Premises or on the expiration of the Term of this Lease or sooner termination of this Lease for any cause shall conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to, and without any obligation to account to, Tenant or any other person. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred in connection with the disposition of such property in excess of any amount received by Landlord from such disposition. Tenant shall not be released from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in connection with the surrender of the Premises until Landlord has inspected the Premises and delivered to Tenant a written release of such surrender obligations. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such inspection and deliver such written release within ten (10) business days after the later of the expiration or early termination of this Lease and the date Tenant has vacated and surrendered exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord in compliance with such surrender obligations; provided, however, Landlord’s failure to perform such inspection and/or deliver such release within such 10-business day period shall not relieve Tenant from any of such surrender obligations that have not been performed or complied with by Tenant. While Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after such expiration, termination or exercise by Landlord of its reentry right, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant-at-sufferance, subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except that the daily Rent shall be as set forth in Section 5.9 above.

-53-


 

No such holding over shall extend the Term of this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises in the condition herein required, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, restore the Premises to such condition.
     27. MISCELLANEOUS.
          27.1 Independent Obligations; No Offset. The obligations of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform the other undertakings of Tenant hereunder constitute independent unconditional obligations to be performed at the times specified hereunder, regardless of any breach or default by Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall have no right, and Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes all rights which Tenant might otherwise have, to (a) claim any nature of lien against the Complex (other than a judgment lien), or (b) except for any offset and abatement rights expressly provided to Tenant elsewhere in this Lease (including Section 8.3 above), to withhold, deduct from or offset against any Rent or other sums to be paid to Landlord by Tenant.
          27.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each date or time specified in this Lease by which an event is to occur.
          27.3 Applicable Law. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Utah. All monetary and other obligations of Landlord and Tenant are performable in the county where the Complex is located.
          27.4 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to assign without notice or consent, in whole or in part, any or all of its rights, titles or interests in and to the Complex or this Lease and, upon any such assignment, Landlord shall be relieved of all unaccrued liabilities and obligations hereunder to the extent of the interest so assigned arising after the date of such transfer, provided the assignee assumes, in writing, all of such future liabilities and obligations.
          27.5 Estoppel Certificates; Financial Statements. From time to time at the written request of Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee (but no more than two (2) times per year), Tenant will within ten (10) calendar days, and without compensation or consideration execute, have acknowledged and delivered to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in such form as shall be requested by Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, setting forth the following: (a) a ratification of this Lease; (b) the Lease Commencement Date for each applicable Suite Space, the Lease Expiration Date and other factual Lease information; (c) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (d) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied or, in the alternative, those claimed by Tenant to be unsatisfied; (e) that no defenses or offsets exist against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord or, in the alternative, those claimed by Tenant to exist; (f) whether within the knowledge of Tenant (without any duty of investigation) there are any existing breaches or defaults by Landlord hereunder and, if so, stating the defaults with reasonable particularity; (g) the amount of advance Rent, if any (or none if such is the case), paid by Tenant; (h) the date to which Rent has been paid; and (i) such other information as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request. Landlord’s Mortgagee and purchasers shall be entitled to rely on any estoppel certificate executed by Tenant. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after Landlord’s request, furnish to

-54-


 

Landlord current financial statements for Tenant, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and certified by Tenant to be true and correct.
          27.6 Signs, Building Name and Building Address. Landlord may, from time to time at its discretion, place any and all signs anywhere in the Complex, and may change the name and street address of the Complex; provided however, if Landlord changes the street address of the Building, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoices from Tenant accompanied by receipts and other back-up documentation reasonably requested by Landlord, reimburse Tenant for the actual, verifiable and reasonable costs of reprinting Tenant’s business stationery in the same quality and quantity as Tenant’s stationery supply on hand immediately prior to the change of the Building’s street address. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use the name of the Building for any purpose other than as the address of the business to be conducted by Tenant from the Premises.
          27.7 Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall either be sent by overnight courier or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, and addressed as set forth in Section “G” of the Basic Lease Information, or delivered in person to the intended addressee. Notice sent by overnight courier shall become effective one (1) business day after being sent. Notice mailed in the aforesaid manner shall become effective five (5) business days after deposit. Notice given in any other manner, and any notice given to Landlord, shall be effective only upon receipt by the intended addressee. Each party shall have the continuing right to change its address for notice hereunder by the giving of fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 27.7.
          27.8 Entire Agreement, Amendment and Binding Effect. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not contained herein are terminated. This Lease may be amended only by a written document duly executed by Landlord and Tenant, and any alleged amendment which is not so documented shall not be effective as to either party. The provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Section 27.8 shall not negate, diminish or alter the restrictions on Transfers applicable to Tenant set forth elsewhere in this Lease.
          27.9 Severability. This Lease is intended to be performed in accordance with and only to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, but the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the bargain between the parties as contained herein, the remainder of this Lease and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
          27.10 Number and Gender, Captions and References. As the context of this Lease may require, pronouns shall include natural persons and legal entities of every kind and character, the singular number shall include the plural, and the neuter shall include the masculine and the feminine gender. Section headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only

-55-


 

and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define any section hereof. Whenever the terms “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” or words of similar import are used in this Lease, they shall be construed as referring to this Lease in its entirety rather than to a particular section or provision, unless the context specifically indicates to the contrary. Any reference to a particular “Section” shall be construed as referring to the indicated section of this Lease. The term “including” shall mean “including but not limited to.”
          27.11 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party commences a legal proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Lease, the prevailing party in such action shall have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the other party, to be fixed by the court in the same action. “Legal proceedings” includes appeals from a lower court judgment as well as proceedings in the Federal Bankruptcy Court (“Bankruptcy Court”), whether or not they are adversary proceedings or contested matters. The “prevailing party” (a) as used in the context of proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court means the prevailing party in an adversary proceeding or contested matter, or any other actions taken by the non-bankrupt party which are reasonably necessary to protect its rights under this Lease, and (b) as used in the context of proceedings in any court other than the Bankruptcy Court means the party that prevails in obtaining a remedy or relief which most nearly reflects the remedy or relief which the party sought.
          27.12 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the Brokers, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall pay a commission to the Brokers with respect to this Lease in accordance with a separate agreement between and/or among Landlord and the Brokers. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims for brokerage commission, finder’s fees or similar payments alleged to be owing in connection with this Lease on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party.
          27.13 Interest on Tenant’s Obligations. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall, subject to Section 5.8 above, bear interest at the rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law from the date such payment is due until paid, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure the default in payment.
          27.14 Authority. Tenant and Landlord each hereby warrants and represents to the other party that (a) the representing party is a duly organized and existing legal entity, in good standing in the State of Utah, (b) the representing party has full right and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lease, (c) this Lease is binding upon and enforceable against the representing party in accordance with its terms, and (d) the person executing and delivering this Lease on behalf of the representing party was duly authorized to do so.
          27.15 Recording. Neither this Lease (including any Exhibit hereto) nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

-56-


 

          27.16 Exhibits. All Exhibits and written addenda hereto are incorporated herein for any and all purposes.
          27.17 Multiple Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one instrument.
          27.18 Survival of Indemnities. The indemnity obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease to and until the last to occur of (a) the last day permitted by law for the bringing of any claim or action with respect to which indemnification may be claimed, or (b) the date on which any claim or action for which indemnification may be claimed under such provision is fully and finally resolved and any compromise thereof or judgment or award thereon is paid in full. Payment shall not be a condition precedent to recovery upon any indemnification provision contained herein.
          27.19 Miscellaneous. Any guaranty delivered in connection with this Lease is an integral part of this Lease and constitutes consideration given to Landlord to enter into this Lease. No amendment to this Lease shall be binding on Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by both parties. Venue on any action arising out of this Lease shall be proper only in the District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on all matters arising out of this Lease or the use and occupancy of the Premises. The submission of this Lease to Tenant is not an offer to lease the Premises or an agreement by Landlord to reserve the Premises for Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound to Tenant and Tenant shall not be bound to Landlord until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original copies of this Lease to Landlord and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of those duplicate original copies to Tenant.
          27.20 Patriot Act.
               (a) As of the date of this Lease, Tenant is and, during the term of this Lease shall remain, in full compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations of the United States of America that prohibit, regulate or restrict financial transactions, including but not limited to, conducting any activity or failing to conduct any activity, if such action or inaction constitutes a money laundering crime, including any money laundering crime prohibited under the Money Laundering Control Act, 18 U.S.C. 1956, 1957, or the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq. and any amendments or successors thereto and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
               (b) Tenant acknowledges that it understands and has been advised by legal counsel on the requirements of the applicable laws referred to above, including the Money Laundering Control Act, 18 U.S.C. 1956, 1957, the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq., the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Foreign Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Section 500 et seq.
               (c) Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately upon receipt of any information indicating a breach of this Section or if Tenant or any officer, director, member,

-57-


 

manager, member, employee or owner of Tenant is custodially detained on charges relating to money laundering, whereupon Landlord shall be entitled to take all actions necessary so that Landlord is in compliance with all Anti-Money Laundering Regulations.
          27.21 OFAC. Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”) and related regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, U.S. persons and entities are prohibited from transacting business with persons or entities who, from time to time are determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts, narcotics trafficking, money laundering and related crimes. Those persons and entities are identified on a list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “List”), published and regulated by OFAC. The names, including aliases, of these persons or entities (“Blocked Persons”) are updated frequently. In addition, OFAC enforces other Executive Orders which, from time to time, impose restrictions on transactions with, or involving certain countries. Tenant hereby certifies and represents that (a) neither it, nor any of its owners, members of its governing body, management, employees or agents is on the List or is acting for, or on behalf of any person or entity on the List; (b) it is not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the government of any country that is subject to a United States Embargo; and (c) no funds will be used to make any payments due hereunder or pursuant to the Note which were obtained directly or indirectly from a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person or otherwise derived from a country that is subject to a United States Embargo, is or will become named a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person; provided that, if Tenant is a publicly-traded company whose shares are listed on a national stock exchange, such representation and warranty shall not apply to shareholders of the Tenant. Tenant further acknowledges its obligation to remain in compliance with existing and future regulations promulgated by OFAC throughout the term of this Lease.
          27.22 Force Majeure. Except as provided hereinbelow, any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (collectively, “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by such event of Force Majeure; provided, however, no such event of Force Majeure shall (a) extend or delay any applicable Lease Commencement Date, (b) excuse Tenant from timely performing any of Tenant’s obligations under the Tenant Work Letter, or (c) excuse Tenant from timely paying any Rent or other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
     28. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
          28.1 Right of First Offer. During the period of time (the “First Offer Period”) commencing on the date of the full execution of this Lease and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, as may be extended pursuant to the Lease Extension Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit F (subject, however, to the limitations set forth hereinbelow), Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) to lease any space in the Building which

-58-


 

is other than the Premises (the “ROFO Space”), when such applicable ROFO Space becomes available for lease, as determined by Landlord and described hereinbelow. For purposes hereof, the applicable ROFO Space shall become available for lease to Tenant immediately prior to the first (1st) time Landlord intends to submit to a third party (other than an existing tenant or affiliate leasing such ROFO Space, or portion thereof) a bona fide proposal or letter of intent to lease such ROFO Space (the “Third Party Proposal”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary: (a) Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate to all expansion, first offer and similar rights currently set forth in any lease for space in the Building or the Complex which has been executed as of the date of execution of this Lease (the “ROFO Space Superior Rights”); (b) Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer during the last eighteen (18) months of the initial Term of this Lease (and the First Offer Period shall be shortened to be the day immediately preceding such 18-month period) unless either (i) as of the date Landlord delivers to Tenant Landlord’s First Offer Notice (as defined below), Tenant has previously properly exercised its Renewal Option to extend the initial Term of this Lease for the entire Renewal Premises for the Option Term (as defined in and pursuant to the Lease Extension Addendum), or (ii) if Landlord’s First Offer Notice is delivered to Tenant on or before the Exercise Date (as defined in the Lease Extension Addendum), then concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Election Notice (as defined below) exercising such Right of First Offer, Tenant delivers to Landlord Tenant’s Exercise Notice properly exercising such Renewal Option to extend the initial Term of this Lease for the entire Renewal Premises for the Option Term pursuant to the Lease Extension Addendum (which Tenant shall have the right to do notwithstanding the time frames for delivery of Tenant’s Interest Notice and Exercise Notice set forth in the Lease Extension Addendum); and (c) Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer in any event during the last two (2) years of the Option Term, if applicable.
          28.2 Early Offer Terms. If the applicable commencement date for the applicable ROFO Space (the “ROFO Space Commencement Date”) is scheduled to occur prior to the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) month of the initial Term of this Lease for the Initial Premises, then notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, such applicable ROFO Space (sometimes referred to herein as an “Early Offer ROFO Space”) shall be available for lease by Tenant upon all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease including that the lease term for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space (the “Early Offer ROFO Space Term”) shall be coterminous with the then-current Term or Option Term (as the case may be) for the original Premises, as may subsequently be extended pursuant to the Lease Extension Addendum, except as follows (collectively, the “Early Offer Terms”):
               28.2.1 The initial Base Rent payable for the applicable Early Offer ROFO Space leased by Tenant under this Article 28 shall be at the same rate per square foot of Rentable Area as applicable to the original Premises, as set forth in the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Section “C”, as of the ROFO Space Commencement Date for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space, which rate shall be increased following the ROFO Space Commencement Date for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space at the same Base Rent rate per square foot of Rentable Area and at the same time as the Base Rent applicable to the original Premises is increased as set forth in the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Section “C”. Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of the monthly installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant for the applicable Early Offer ROFO Space during that portion of the Early Offer ROFO Space Term applicable thereto occurring during the Abatement Period (as defined in Section 5.1 above), if

-59-


 

applicable; any such abatement of Base Rent for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space (herein, the “Early Offer Space Abated Rent”) shall otherwise be governed by the terms and conditions applicable to the Abated Rent pursuant to Section 5.1 above.
               28.2.2 Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a tenant improvement allowance for the applicable Early Offer ROFO Space leased by Tenant under this Article 28 equal to the product of the following: (a) $38.00 per square foot of usable area of such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of months in the initial Early Offer ROFO Space Term for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space, and the denominator of which shall be 130. Such tenant improvement allowance shall be only used to help Tenant pay for the costs (including, without limitation, design, architectural, space planning and permitting fees and costs) actually incurred and paid for by Tenant for the refurbishment of such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space, but only to the extent such refurbishment work is performed by or for Tenant on or before the last day of the twelfth (12th) month of the Early Offer ROFO Space Term for such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space. All such refurbishment work shall be performed by Tenant using contractors and subcontractors approved and/or designated by Landlord, and otherwise in compliance with Article 11 above.
               28.2.3 During such Early Offer ROFO Space Term: (a) Tenant’s Share shall be increased to take into account the addition of such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space to the Premises (and the Base Year for purposes of determining Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses for such Early Offer ROFO Space shall be the calendar year 2011); (b) the total number of Passes which Tenant shall have the right to use shall be increased by five (5) Unreserved Passes per each 1,000 square feet of usable area in such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space; and (c) Tenant shall have no right to receive any (nor shall there be any increase in the) General Allowance or the Space Plan Allowance (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) in connection with Tenant’s lease of such applicable Early Offer ROFO Space.
          28.3 Post-24 Month Offer Terms. If the applicable ROFO Space is not an Early Offer ROFO Space described in Section 28.2 above (such non-Early Offer ROFO Space referred to herein a “Post-24 Month ROFO Space”), then such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space shall be available for lease by Tenant upon the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Lease, including that the lease term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space (the “Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term”) shall be coterminous with the then-current Term or Option Term (as the case may be) for the original Premises, as may subsequently be extended pursuant to the Lease Extension Addendum, except as follows (collectively, the “Post-24 Month Offer Terms”):
               28.3.1 The Base Rent payable for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space during the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term therefor shall equal the greater of: (a) the Fair Market Rental Rate (as defined in the Lease Extension Addendum) for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space; and (b) the same rate per square foot of Rentable Area as applicable to the original Premises as of the ROFO Space Commencement Date for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, which rate shall be increased following such ROFO Space Commencement Date at the same Base Rent rate per square foot of Rentable Area and at

-60-


 

the same time as the Base Rent applicable to the original Premises is increased (the “ROFO Floor Rent”).
               28.3.2 If the Base Rent payable by Tenant for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space during the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term therefor is determined to be (a) the Fair Market Rental Rate pursuant to Section 28.3.1(a) above, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive a tenant improvement allowance, free rent and any other rental concessions for such Post-24 Month ROFO Space as determined as a part of such Fair Market Rental Rate, or (b) the ROFO Floor Rent pursuant to Section 28.3.1(b) above, then Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any tenant improvement allowance, free rent or any other rental concessions in connection with Tenant’s lease of such Post-24 Month ROFO Space.
               28.3.3 The Base Year for such Post-24 Month ROFO Space shall be the calendar year during which the ROFO Space Commencement Date for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space occurs.
               28.3.4 Tenant shall have no right to receive any (nor shall there be any increase in the) General Allowance or the Space Plan Allowance in connection with Tenant’s lease of such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space.
          28.4 First Offer Notice. Prior to the first time during the First Offer Period that Landlord intends to submit to a third party a Third Party Proposal with respect to any applicable ROFO Space, and provided no holder of any ROFO Space Superior Rights with respect to such applicable ROFO Space desires to lease such applicable ROFO Space, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (the “First Offer Notice”) that such applicable ROFO Space identified in such Third Party Proposal is then available for lease by Tenant upon either the Early Offer Terms or the Post-24 Month Offer Term, as the case may be (such applicable terms referred to herein as the “ROFO Terms”). On or before the date which is ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of the Landlord’s First Offer Notice (the “Election Date”), Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (“Tenant’s Election Notice”) pursuant to which Tenant shall have the right to elect either to:
               (a) lease the entire applicable ROFO Space identified in the applicable First Offer Notice upon the applicable ROFO Terms therefor and the non-economic terms set forth in this Lease; provided, however, with respect to any Post-24 Month ROFO Space, if the Base Rent provided for in such ROFO Terms is the Fair Market Rental Rate for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space pursuant to Section 28.3.1(a) above, then Tenant may object in Tenant’s Election Notice to such Fair Market Rental Rate for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space as designated by Landlord in such applicable First Offer Notice, in which case the arbitration provisions of the Lease Extension Addendum shall apply to determine such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate (if Tenant fails to timely object to Landlord’s determination of such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate in Tenant’s Election Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted same, and the arbitration provisions of the Lease Extension Addendum shall not apply with respect thereto); or
               (b) refuse to lease the entire applicable ROFO Space identified in the First Offer Notice, in which event (i) Landlord may lease the ROFO Space identified in such First

-61-


 

Offer Notice or any portion thereof to any person or entity on any terms Landlord desires, and (ii) Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall thereupon automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the particular ROFO Space identified in such applicable First Offer Notice.
If Tenant does not deliver Tenant’s Election Notice to Landlord by the applicable Election Date, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (b) of this Section 28.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 28 to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s Right of First Offer to lease any ROFO Space not previously identified in any First Offer Notice delivered by Landlord to Tenant shall not terminate as a result of Tenant’s election or deemed election to refuse to lease any other ROFO Space so identified in a First Offer Notice, and shall continue until such time, but not beyond the First Offer Period, as such other non-identified ROFO Space first becomes available for lease as determined by Landlord as provided hereinabove.
          28.5 Termination of Right of First Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 28 to the contrary, at Landlord’s option, and in addition to all of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, the Right of First Offer with respect to any applicable ROFO Space identified in a First Offer Notice shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date Tenant delivers the applicable Tenant’s Election Notice purporting to exercise such Right of First Offer, there exists an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease that has not then been cured. In addition, Tenant’s Right of First Offer is personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignee, and may not be assigned or exercised by or to, or used by, any person or entity other than the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee (as the case may be), and shall only be available to and exercisable by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, when the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, is in actual and physical possession of the entire Premises.
          28.6 Execution of Lease Amendment. If Tenant elects to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to this Article 28, Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Election Notice, execute an amendment to this Lease adding such ROFO Space to the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 28.
     29. REDUCTION OPTION.
          29.1 Reduction Option. Pursuant to Article 28 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease, Tenant has the right of first offer to elect to lease certain additional space in the 2855 E. Cottonwood Building that becomes available for lease therein and that is other than the initial premises leased by Tenant under the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease (the “2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space”). If Tenant timely and properly exercises its right of first offer to lease any 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 28 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease, then Tenant shall have the concurrent option to terminate this Lease (the “Reduction Option”) as to a portion of the Premises leased from Landlord under this Lease (each, a “Reduction Premises”), which Reduction Premises must satisfy the Reduction Premises Criteria (as defined hereinbelow). To exercise such Reduction Option with respect to any applicable Reduction Premises meeting the Reduction Premises Criteria, Tenant must deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s delivery to the 2855 E.

-62-


 

Cottonwood Landlord of Tenant’s notice electing to lease the applicable 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space pursuant to Article 28 of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease (the “2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Election Notice”), the following: (a) a written notice electing to exercise the Reduction Option with respect to such applicable Reduction Premises (the “Reduction Notice”), which Reduction Notice shall specify (i) such applicable Reduction Premises meeting the Reduction Premises Criteria for which Tenant is exercising such Reduction Option, and (ii) the date (the “Reduction Date”) upon which Tenant desires to terminate this Lease with respect to such applicable Reduction Premises meeting the Reduction Premises Criteria, which Reduction Date must occur no earlier than the commencement date of the lease term for the applicable 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space (the “2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space Commencement Date”); and (b) a copy of the 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Election Notice for such applicable 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Reduction Option with respect to any applicable Reduction Premises: (A) this Lease shall terminate as to such applicable Reduction Premises at midnight on the applicable Reduction Date; and (B) Tenant shall vacate and surrender exclusive possession of such applicable Reduction Premises to Landlord on or prior to such applicable Reduction Date in accordance with the surrender provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to vacate and surrender exclusive possession of such applicable Reduction Premises to Landlord on or prior to such applicable Reduction Date, the holdover provisions of Section 5.9 above shall apply with respect to such applicable Reduction Premises. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Reduction Option pursuant to this Section 29.1 with respect to any applicable Reduction Premises then, from and after the applicable Reduction Date, the Premises leased by Tenant from Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall no longer include such applicable Reduction Premises. Notwithstanding such termination of this Lease with respect to any applicable Reduction Premises as provided herein, Tenant shall remain liable for: (1) all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to such applicable Reduction Premises arising prior to the applicable Reduction Date; and (2) all of Tenant’s indemnification and other obligations with respect to such applicable Reduction Premises which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the “Reduction Premises Criteria” with respect to each applicable Reduction Premises shall mean as follows: (x) such applicable Reduction Premises is located on the same floor of the Building or higher as the floor upon which the applicable 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space is located within the 2855 E. Cottonwood Building; (y) such applicable Reduction Premises contains a Rentable Area that is equal to or less than the Rentable Area contained within such applicable 2855 E. Cottonwood ROFO Space; and (z) such applicable Reduction Premises constitutes either a full floor portion of the Premises or an entire separately demised suite on a floor upon which such applicable Reduction Premises are located such that Landlord shall not be required to further demise such applicable Reduction Premises from any other space on a floor of the Building then leased by Tenant under this Lease.
          29.2 Termination of Reduction Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 29 to the contrary, at Landlord’s option, and in addition to all of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, the Reduction Option with respect to any Reduction Premises identified in a Reduction Notice shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date Tenant delivers the applicable Reduction Notice, there exists an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease that has not then been cured. In addition, Tenant’s Reduction Option is personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignee, and may not be assigned or exercised by or to, or used by, any person or entity other than the Original Tenant or

-63-


 

such Permitted Assignee (as the case may be), and shall only be available to and exercisable by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, when the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, is in actual and physical possession of the entire Premises.
          29.3 Execution of Lease Amendment. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease with respect to any Reduction Premises pursuant to this Article 29, Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Reduction Notice, execute an amendment to this Lease terminating this Lease with respect to such Reduction Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 29.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE, TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD HAS MADE NO WARRANTIES TO TENANT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANT’S INTENDED COMMERCIAL PURPOSE.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
     Tenant shall comply with the following Rules and Regulations and any modifications and additions thereto so long as (a) Landlord provides Tenant with prior written notice of such modifications and additions, and (b) such modifications and additions do not discriminate against Tenant, do not conflict with the terms of this Lease (in which event the latter shall control), and would not result in an Adverse Condition. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any of these Rules and Regulations by Tenant, any other tenant, or any visitor, licensee, agent, or other person or entity; provided however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but not including the institution of legal proceedings) to enforce such non-performance against the other tenants of the Building, to the extent such non-performance materially and adversely interferes with Tenant’s access to the Premises or use of the Premises for the purposes permitted under the Lease. In the event of any inconsistency between the Rules and Regulations and the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall govern.
     1. Security; Admission to Building. Landlord may from time to time adopt appropriate systems and procedures for the security or safety of the Building, any persons occupying, using or entering the Building, or any equipment, finishings or contents of the Building, and each tenant shall comply with such systems and procedures. Landlord shall in no case be liable for damages for any error with regard to the admission to or exclusion from the Building of any person. In the event of an invasion, mob, riot, public excitement or other commotion, Landlord reserves the right to prevent access to the Building during the continuance of the same by closing of the doors of the Building or any other reasonable method, for the safety of the tenants and protection of the Building and property in the Building.
     2. Conduct and Exclusion or Expulsion. Tenant’s employees, visitors, and licensees shall not loiter in or interfere with the use of the Parking Facility or the Complex’s driveway or parking areas, nor consume alcohol in the Common Areas of the Complex or the Parking Facility. The sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators, escalators, and stairways of the Building will not be obstructed by Tenant or used by Tenant for any purpose other than for ingress to and egress from the Premises. The halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators, escalators, and stairways are not for the general public, and Landlord may control and prevent access to them by all persons whose presence, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, would be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its tenants. In determining whether access will be denied, Landlord may consider attire worn by a person and its appropriateness for an office building, whether shoes are being worn, use of profanity, either verbally or on clothing, actions of a person (including without limitation spitting, verbal abusiveness, and the like), and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably consider appropriate.
     3. Curtains and Decorations. No awnings, curtains, draperies, blinds, shutters, shades, screens, or other coverings, hangings or decorations will be attached to, hung or placed in, or used in connection with any window of the Building or the Premises without Landlord’s

prior written consent (which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion).

     5. Showcases. No showcases or other articles will be put in front of or affixed to any part of the exterior of the Building, nor placed in the public halls, corridors or vestibules without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion).
     6. Cooking; Use of Premises for Improper Purposes. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used for lodging or sleeping. No cooking will be done or permitted by Tenant on or in the Premises, except in areas of the Premises which are specially constructed for cooking as specifically provided in working drawings approved by Landlord, and so long as such use is in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and city laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations. The Premises shall not be used for the storage of merchandise or for any improper, reasonably objectionable, or immoral purpose.
     7. Janitorial Service. Tenant shall not employ any person or persons other than the cleaning service of Landlord for the purpose of cleaning the Premises, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing. If Tenant’s actions result in any increased expense for any required cleaning, Landlord may assess Tenant for such expenses. Janitorial service will not be furnished on nights to offices which are occupied after business hours on those nights unless, by prior written agreement of Landlord, service is extended to a later hour for specifically designated offices.
     8. Use of Restrooms. The toilets, urinals, wash bowls and other plumbing fixtures will not be used for any purposes other than those for which they were constructed, and no sweepings, rubbish, rags or other foreign substances will be thrown in them. All damages resulting from any misuse of the fixtures will be borne by Tenant to the extent Tenant or its employees, agents, visitors or licensees caused the damage.
     9. Defacement of Premises or Building. Tenant shall not deface any part of the Premises or the Building. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not lay linoleum or other similar floor covering so that it comes in direct contact with the floor of the Premises. If linoleum or other similar floor covering is to be used, an interlining of builder’s deadening felt will be first affixed to the floor by a paste or other material soluble in water. The use of cement or other similar adhesive material is expressly prohibited. Except as permitted by Landlord by prior written consent, Tenant shall not mark on, paint signs on, cut, drill into, drive nails or screws into, or in any way deface the walls, ceilings, partitions or floors of the Premises or of the Building, and any defacement, damage or injury directly or indirectly caused by Tenant shall be paid for by Tenant.

No furniture, freight, packages, merchandise, or equipment of any kind may be brought into the Building or carried up or down in the elevators, except between those hours and in that specific elevator designated by Landlord or otherwise upon consent of the Landlord, without prior notice to and consent of Landlord. Landlord may at any time restrict the elevators and areas of the Building into which deliveries or messengers may enter. The elevator designated for freight by Landlord will be available for use by all tenants in the Building during the hours and pursuant to such procedures as Landlord may determine from time to time. The persons employed to move Tenant’s equipment, material, furniture or other property in or out of the Building must be (a) a locally or nationally recognized professional mover whose primary business is the performing of relocation services, (b) bonded and fully insured, and (c) otherwise approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A certificate or other verification of such insurance must be received and approved by Landlord prior to the start of any moving operations. Insurance must be sufficient, in Landlord’s sole opinion, to cover all personal liability, theft or damage to the Building, including without limitation floor coverings, doors, walls, elevators, stairs, foliage and landscaping. All moving operations will be conducted at such times and in such a manner as Landlord may direct, and all moving will take place during non-business hours unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing. Tenant shall be responsible for the provision of Building security during all of its moving operations, and shall be liable for all losses and damages sustained by any party as a result of the failure to supply adequate security. Landlord may reasonably prescribe the weight, size and position of all equipment, materials, furniture or other property brought into the Building. Heavy objects will, if considered reasonably necessary by Landlord, stand on wood strips of such thickness as is necessary to distribute the weight properly. Landlord will not be responsible for loss of or damage to any such property from any cause, and all damage done to the Building by moving or maintaining such property will be repaired at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may inspect all such property to be brought into the Building and to exclude from the Building all such property which violates any of these rules and regulations or the Lease of which these rules and regulations are a part. Supplies, goods, materials, packages, furniture and all other items of every kind delivered to or taken from the Premises will be delivered or removed through the entrance and route designated by Landlord.

Tenant shall not keep any firearms within the Premises.
     14. Address of Building. Landlord may, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, and without liability to Tenant, change the name and street address of the Building.
     15. Use of Building Name or Likeness. Landlord will have the right to prohibit any advertising by Tenant mentioning the Building which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, tends to impair the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a Building for offices and, upon written notice from Landlord, Tenant will discontinue such advertising.
     16. Animals, Birds and Vehicles. Tenant will not bring any animals or birds into the Premises or Building, and will not permit bicycles or other vehicles inside or on the sidewalks outside the Building, except in areas designated from time to time by Landlord for such purposes.

Provided such actions would not result in an Adverse Condition, Landlord reserves the right at any time to rescind or make reasonable, non-discriminatory changes to any one or more of these Rules and Regulations or to make any additional, reasonable and non-discriminatory Rules and Regulations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or helpful for the management, safety or cleanliness of the Premises or Building, the preservation of good order, and/or the convenience of the occupants and tenants of the Building generally. Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant. No waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of those Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant, and no waiver shall prevent Landlord from enforcing those Rules and Regulations against a tenant or any other tenant in the future. Tenant shall be considered to have read these Rules and Regulations and to have agreed to abide by them as a condition of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option to extend the initial Term of the Lease (herein, a “Renewal Option”) with respect to all, but not less than all, of Premises (i.e., all of the Suite Spaces) then leased by Tenant under the Lease (including any ROFO Space then leased by Tenant pursuant to Article 28 of the Lease) (collectively, the “Renewal Premises”), for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which Renewal Option shall be exercisable only by written Exercise Notice (as defined below) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below. Upon the proper exercise of the Renewal Option, the initial Term of the Lease shall be extended for the Option Term.
     2. Option Rent. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2, the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rental Rate” for the Renewal Premises. As used herein, the “Fair Market Rental Rate” for purposes of determining the Option Rent payable by Tenant for the Option Term (or, for the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for the applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space if leased by Tenant pursuant to Article 28 of the Lease, as the case may be, but only if the ROFO Floor Rent is not applicable thereto because such ROFO Floor Rent is less than such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space) shall mean the annual Base Rent at which non-equity tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term (or the ROFO Space Commencement Date of such initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be), will be leasing non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space on a full service gross basis comparable in size, location and quality to the Renewal Premises (or such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in the Complex and in other first-class office and retail complexes in the Cottonwood sub-market of Salt Lake City, Utah (collectively, the “Comparable Buildings”), taking into consideration free rent, all out-of-pocket monetary concessions and inducements generally being granted at such time for such comparable space leased by tenants of comparable net worth as Tenant (including, without limitation, any tenant improvement allowance provided for such comparable space, with the amount of such tenant improvement allowance (calculated as a per usable square foot basis) to be provided for the Renewal Premises (or such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) during the Option Term (or such initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) to be determined after taking into account the age, quality and layout of the tenant improvements in the Renewal Premises (or such applicable Post-
EXHIBIT F

-1-


 

24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) as of the commencement of the Option Term (or the ROFO Space Commencement Date of such initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be), and also taking into consideration the adjustment of the Base Year as further described below in this Section 2 with respect to the Option Rent (or as further described in Article 28 of the Lease with respect to the initial ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be). Except as set forth in the next sentence, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply throughout the Option Term; however, Tenant shall, in no event, have the option to extend the Term of the Lease beyond the Option Term. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option as provided in this Extension Addendum, the Base Year for the Option Term shall be adjusted to be the calendar year in which the commencement date of the Option Term occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the first (1st) year of the Option Term shall not be less than the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last year of the initial Term of the Lease (the “Option Floor Rent”), which amount will be increased during the Option Term by three percent (3%) per annum, as calculated on a cumulative and compounded basis.
     3. Exercise of Option. The Renewal Option shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following manner: (a) Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (the “Interest Notice”) not more than fifteen (15) months nor less than fourteen (14) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease stating that Tenant may be interested in exercising the Renewal Option; (b) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant’s Interest Notice, shall deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant not less than thirteen (13) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease, setting forth Landlord’s good-faith determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term (which determination shall include the amount by which the Fair Market Rental Rate may be increased and the timing of any such increases during the Option Term, which increases may not occur more frequently than annually); and (c) if Tenant wishes to exercise such Renewal Option, Tenant shall, on or before the date (the “Exercise Date”) which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease, exercise the Renewal Option by delivering written notice (“Exercise Notice”) thereof to Landlord, and upon and concurrent with such exercise, Tenant may, at its option, object in a written notice delivered to Landlord (the “Objection Notice”), to the determination by Landlord of the Fair Market Rental Rate contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall follow the procedure and the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term shall be determined as set forth in Section 4 below; provided, however, if Landlord shall have determined in the Option Rent Notice that the Fair Market Rental Rate therefor is less than the Option Floor Rent, the Option Rent shall be the Option Floor Rent and the arbitration procedures set forth in Section 4 below shall not apply. If Tenant does not timely object in an Objection Notice to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term, Landlord’s determination shall be conclusive and the arbitration procedures in Section 4 below shall not be applicable with respect thereto. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the Exercise Date shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s waiver of its Renewal Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to deliver the Exercise Notice to Landlord without having to deliver the Interest Notice and without regard to the foregoing time frames (which delivery of the Exercise Notice by Tenant without the requirement that Tenant also deliver an Interest Notice may also be made concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Election Notice as permitted by and pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Lease), in which
EXHIBIT F

-2-


 

event (i) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, on or before the date which is the later of thirteen (13) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease or thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Option Rent Notice setting forth Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate, and (ii) if Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term, Tenant may only do so by delivering an Objection Notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of such Option Rent Notice.
     4. Determination of Fair Market Rental Rate. If Tenant timely objects in writing pursuant to Section 3 above to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term (or if Tenant timely objects in Tenant’s Election Notice pursuant to Section 28.4 of the Lease to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term of the applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be), Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) business days (the “Outside Agreement Date”) following Tenant’s objection to such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate, then each party shall submit to the other party a separate written determination of such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 4.1 through 4.7 below. Failure of Tenant or Landlord to submit a written determination of such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate within such ten (10) business day period shall conclusively be deemed to be the non-determining party’s approval of such applicable Fair Market Rental Rate submitted within such ten (10) business day period by the other party.
          4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent real estate broker who has no financial interest in Landlord or Tenant, who has no ongoing relationship with Landlord or Tenant and who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of space in other Comparable Buildings. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term (or for the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for the applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term (or for such initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be), as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2 above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.
          4.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators, except that the third arbitrator shall not have been previously engaged by Landlord or Tenant for any purpose.
          4.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall conduct a hearing within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator and within ten (10) days thereafter reach a decision as to which of the Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term
EXHIBIT F

-3-


 

(or for the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for the applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be) is closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term (or for such initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, as the case may be), and the arbitrators shall use whichever of Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted applicable Fair Market Rental Rate is closest to the actual applicable Fair Market Rental Rate and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
          4.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that if the majority of the three (3) arbitrators select a submitted Fair Market Rental Rate (a) for the Option Term that is less than the Option Floor Rent, the Option Rent payable for the Option Term shall be equal to the Option Floor Rent, and/or (b) for the initial Post-24 Month ROFO Space Term for the applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space that is less than the ROFO Floor Rent for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space, the Base Rent payable for such applicable Post-24 Month ROFO Space shall be equal to the ROFO Floor Rent.
          4.5 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
          4.6 If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator within the time period provided in Section 4.2 above, then the parties shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within ten (10) days, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of the District Court of the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, acting in his private and nonjudicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator (who shall meet the criteria set forth in Section 4.1 above). Following the appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days thereafter reach a decision as to whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted applicable Fair Market Rental Rate shall be used and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
          4.7 The cost of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally, except that each party shall pay for the cost of its own witnesses and attorneys.
     5. Tenant Default; Rights Personal. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, at Landlord’s option, and in addition to all of Landlord’s remedies under the Lease, at law and/or in equity, the Renewal Option hereinabove granted to Tenant shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date of Tenant’s delivery of the Exercise Notice, there exists an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease that has not then been cured. In addition, the Renewal Option: (a) is personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignee (as those terms are defined in the Lease); (b) may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, when the Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignee, as the case may be, is in actual possession and physical occupancy of the entire Renewal Premises; and (c) may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity.

     6. 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Renewal Option. Tenant’s right to exercise the Renewal Option under this Extension Addendum shall, at Landlord’s option, be conditioned upon Tenant properly, timely and concurrently exercising Tenant’s option (the “2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Renewal Option”) to extend the term of the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease pursuant to and strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions existing as of the date of execution of this Lease contained in that certain lease extension addendum attached thereto (the “Current 2855 E. Cottonwood Extension Addendum Terms”). If Tenant has not, on or prior to the Exercise Date, delivered to Landlord and the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord an extension notice properly, timely and concurrently exercising the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease Renewal Option pursuant to and strictly in accordance with the Current 2855 E. Cottonwood Extension Addendum Terms, then, at Landlord’s sole option, exercisable by written notice delivered by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Renewal Option under this Extension Addendum shall not be deemed to have been properly exercised and the Renewal Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

LETTER OF CREDIT ADDENDUM
     This LETTER OF CREDIT ADDENDUM (“LC Addendum”), dated as of even date with, and as an addendum to, that certain Lease Agreement between NOP COTTONWOOD 2825, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and FUSION MULTISYSTEMS, INC., a Nevada corporation, d/b/a FUSION-IO (“Tenant”), dated for reference purposes as of May 28, 2010 (the “Lease”). The agreements set forth in this LC Addendum shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in the Lease.
RECITALS:
     A. Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant has leased from Landlord certain office space in the building located at 2825 E. Cottonwood Parkway, Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Building”) as more particularly described in the Lease.
     B. Landlord and Tenant have agreed as set forth in this LC Addendum that Tenant shall provide to Landlord a letter of credit upon the following terms and conditions.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the parties’ covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as follows:
     1. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as additional protection for Landlord to assure the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under the Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, any 2855 E. Cottonwood Default, as defined in the Lease), an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), in the amount of Seven Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Two and 57/100 Dollars ($789,882.57) (the “LC Amount”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and satisfying the terms contained in this LC Addendum, payable in Salt Lake County, Utah, running in favor of Landlord, and issued by a solvent nationally recognized bank (the “Bank”) that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion and meets all of the following requirements (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements”): (a) is chartered under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; and (b) has a long term rating of B or higher as rated by Moody’s Investors Service and/or A or higher as rated by Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings Ltd (Fitch).
     2. The Letter of Credit shall: (a) be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional; (b) be subject to the terms of this LC Addendum maintained in effect, for an initial term plus annual automatic extensions thereof, for the entire period from the date of execution of the Lease and continuing until the date (the “LC Expiration Date”) which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease (subject to early termination as and when provided in Section 8 below); (c) be subject to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590; (d) be fully assignable by Landlord; and (e) permit partial draws. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the
LETTER OF
CREDIT
ADDENDUM

 


 

Letter of Credit shall provide, among other things, in effect that: (i) Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit (A) upon the presentation to the Bank of Landlord’s (or Landlord’s then managing agent’s) written statement that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of the Lease, (B) if the Bank delivers written notice to Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be extended beyond the current expiration date thereof which would result in the Letter of Credit expiring prior to the LC Expiration Date (which the Bank shall only have the right to do if it provides Landlord with such notice at least thirty (30) days’ prior to such current expiration date), (C) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or (D) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (it being understood that if Landlord or its managing agent is a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or other entity, then such statement shall be signed by an officer [if a corporation], a general partner [if a partnership], or any authorized party [if another entity]); and (ii) the Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Tenant disputes the contents of such statement. With respect to clause (i) (B) hereinabove, if the Bank notifies Landlord in writing that the Letter of Credit will not be extended beyond the current expiration date thereof which would result in the Letter of Credit expiring prior to the LC Expiration Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement letter of credit no later than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, which replacement letter of credit shall be accepted by Landlord if, and only if, such replacement letter of credit is (1) irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, and (2) issued by a solvent nationally recognized bank that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion and meets all of the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements.
     3. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to the Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building or the Premises, Landlord shall effect a transfer of the Letter of Credit to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be fully and forever released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to each and every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.
     4. If, as result of any application or use by Landlord of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the LC Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this LC Addendum; if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, the same shall constitute an uncurable default by Tenant under the Lease. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof, and that neither Landlord

nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. If, at any time prior to the LC Expiration Date, the Letter of Credit is not renewed or replaced in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 above, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this LC Addendum, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this LC Addendum and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may, at Landlord’s option: (a) be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under the Lease; and/or (b) in connection with a 2855 E. Cottonwood Default, delivered to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord to pay any rent payable by Tenant under the 2855 E. Cottonwood Lease that is not paid when due and/or to compensate the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord for any and all losses and damages that the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord has suffered or that the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord reasonably estimates that it will as a result of such 2855 E. Cottonwood Default (any such proceeds delivered by Landlord to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord referred to herein as the “2855 E. Cottonwood Default Proceeds”). Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not either (i) applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any default by Tenant under the Lease pursuant to clause (a) hereinabove, and/or (ii) delivered to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord as 2855 E. Cottonwood Default Proceeds pursuant to clause (b) hereinabove; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under the Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
     5. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is agreeing to permit Tenant to provide a Letter of Credit in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any default on the part of Tenant under the Lease or this LC Addendum (including, without limitation, any 2855 E. Cottonwood Default). If there shall occur a default by Tenant under the Lease as set forth in Article 24 of the Lease (including, without limitation, any 2855 E. Cottonwood Default) or a default by Tenant under this LC Addendum, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, draw upon the Letter of Credit in part or in whole, to (a) cure any such default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from such default, and/or (b) deliver the 2855 E. Cottonwood Default Proceeds to the 2855 E. Cottonwood Landlord as provided in Section 4 above. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw from the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of the Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such

Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof and that, if Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
     6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements are not met, or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other materially adverse way, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, then Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord, deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which otherwise meets the requirements of this LC Addendum, including without limitation, the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements. In addition and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the issuer of any letter of credit held by Landlord is insolvent or is placed in receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor or similar entity, or if a trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed for the issuer, then, effective as of the date of such occurrence, the Letter of Credit shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this LC Addendum, and Tenant shall within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which otherwise meets the requirements of this LC Addendum and that meets the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s failure to so replace the Letter of Credit and/or satisfy the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements within such applicable 5-business day period Landlord shall constitute a material default by Tenant under the Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto, and in such event, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, draw upon the Letter of Credit in part or in whole, to cure such default and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from such default.
     7. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewals or replacements thereof or any proceeds thereof be (a) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Utah law, or (b) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Utah law. The parties hereto hereby (i) further agree that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and any and all laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (ii) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
     8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this LC Addendum, if as of the last day of the thirtieth (30th) month of the Initial Premises Term (the “LC Evaluation Date”) (a) no default then exists on behalf of Tenant under the Lease or this LC Addendum, and (b) Landlord has not previously drawn down on any portion of the Letter of Credit, then (i) effective as of the LC Evaluation Date, Tenant shall no longer have any obligation to provide to Landlord the Letter of Credit under this LC Addendum, (ii) Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after the LC Evaluation Date, deliver to Tenant the Letter of Credit, and (iii) from and after Landlord’s

delivery of the Letter of Credit to Tenant, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to each other under this LC Addendum.
