Tenant will have the right to access the Expansion Area fourteen (14) days prior to the Expansion Date for the purpose of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment. There shall be no rental or other charge for such early access. Tenant agrees that it will conduct its installation work in the Expansion Area in a manner that will not interfere with Landlords’ Work. Any interference by Tenant or its agents or contractors with Landlord’s Work will constitute a Tenant Delay.

5. Lease Term for Expansion Area Coterminous With Initial Premises.

The five (5) month period during which Base Rent is not charged on the Expansion Area as described above is sometimes referred to herein as the “Free Rent Period.” Although Base Rent will not be charged on the Expansion Area during the Free Rent Period, Tenant will pay its Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for the Expansion Area during the Free Rent Period. If the Expansion Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for any month in which a free rent concession ends will be prorated according to the number of days in the month.

7. Pro Rata Share. Until the Expansion Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes shall be 53.38% (58,313 RSF in Initial Premises divided by 109,244 RSF in Building). From and after the Expansion Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes shall be 64.97% (70,979 RSF in the Revised Premises divided by 109,244 RSF in the Building).

8. Improvements and Allowance. All improvements in connection with this expansion shall be subject to the provisions of the Work Letter attached to this Amendment as Exhibit “B” and shall be performed at Tenant’s expense, except that Landlord agrees to provide an Allowance to Tenant in an amount up to a maximum of $174,120.00 (calculated for reference purposes only as $15.00 x 11,608 Usable Square Feet in the Expansion Area), as more fully described in Exhibit “B”. The Allowance shall be used only for the Landlord Work to be performed in the Premises as described in the Work Letter. Tenant shall not receive any cash payment, credit or offset for any portion of the Allowance not used for the Landlord Work.

9. No Additional Security Deposit. No additional security deposit will be required from Tenant in connection with this expansion.

10. Parking. From and after the Expansion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to the use of 350 parking stalls, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease governing parking.

11. Commissions. Landlord will pay any commission due to Coldwell Banker Commercial Intermountain which will in turn pay Cresa Salt Lake City a commission equal to three percent (3%) of the gross full service equivalent rental value of the Expansion Area in connection with this transaction. Coldwell Banker Commercial Intermountain and Cresa Salt Lake City are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Known Brokers.” The parties acknowledge that they have not used any real estate brokers or finders with respect to

this Amendment other than the Known Brokers. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the warranting party knows of no real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to compensation in connection with this Amendment other than Known Brokers. Each party, as indemnifying party, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all liabilities or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of any claim for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, or similar compensation by any person other than Known Brokers, which claim is based on any alleged act or agreement of the indemnifying party.

12. Confidentiality. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Amendment (including without limitation the rental rate and concessions granted to Tenant herein) and the Lease are to remain confidential, and may not be disclosed to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the Lease to its auditors, accountants, attorneys, brokers or its affiliate(s), as reasonably required in the conduct of such party’s affairs, or as required by legal process. The consent by a party to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of such party of any prohibition against any future disclosure.

13. Repayment of Rent Concession. Tenant acknowledges that its right to occupy the Expansion Area without paying Base Rent during the Free Rent Period is absolutely conditioned upon Tenant’s full, faithful and punctual performance of its obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby, including the payment of all rent. If Tenant defaults in its obligations under the Lease and does not cure such default after any required notice and within any applicable grace period, the Specified Percentage of the Base Rent for the Free Rent Period for the Expansion Area shall immediately become due and payable in full, at the applicable per square foot rate described in Section 6 of this Amendment. As used herein, the “Specified Percentage” shall mean the percentage equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Term as of the date of the default and the denominator of which is the number of months remaining in the Term at the end of the Free Rent Period described in this Amendment.

14. Miscellaneous. The Lease and this Amendment contain all of the representations, understandings, and agreements of the parties with respect to matters contained herein. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Lease and this Amendment were both negotiated by all parties, that they shall be interpreted as if they were drafted jointly by all of the parties, and that neither the Lease, this Amendment, nor any provision within them, shall be construed against any party or its attorney because it was drafted in full or in part by any party or its attorney. Each of the individuals who have executed this Amendment represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Amendment on behalf of Landlord or Tenant as the case may be, that all corporate, partnership, trust or other action necessary for such party to execute and perform the terms of this Amendment have been duly taken by such party, and that no other signature and/or authorization is necessary for such party to enter into and perform the terms of this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, provided each counterpart is identical in its terms. Each such counterpart, when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile or other electronic transmission

of a signed counterpart shall be deemed to constitute delivery of the signed original. Time is of the essence in the interpretation and enforcement of this Amendment. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah and each of the parties hereto submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Utah in connection with any disputes arising out of the Lease or this Amendment. In the event of any legal action arising under this Amendment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party.

15. Effect of Amendment on Lease. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, this Amendment will control. Except as modified hereby, the Lease remains in full force and effect between the parties.

16. Binding Only on Execution and Delivery. The submission of an unsigned copy of this Amendment by either party to the other shall not constitute an offer or option with respect to the matters contained herein. This Amendment shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery.

17. Exhibits. The following exhibits are attached to this Amendment and incorporated by reference herein:

DEPICTION OF EXPANSION AREA

 

 

Exhibit A – Page 1


EXHIBIT “B”

WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Sixth Amendment to Lease by and between TP BUILDING I, LLC, a Utah Limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HEALTHEQUITY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building located at 15 West Scenic Drive, Draper, Utah 84020.

As used in this Work Letter, the terms “Revised Premises” and “Expansion Area” shall have the same meanings as defined in the Amendment to which this Exhibit is attached.

 

1. This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Expansion Area for Tenant’s use. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord Work.” It is agreed that construction of the Landlord Work will be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except as provided herein and subject to the Allowance (as defined below). Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord, subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, Landlord shall select any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work, subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The construction contract for the Landlord Work (the “Construction Contract”) shall be subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Landlord Work will include providing a turn-key tenant improvement package in the Expansion Area based on the drawing attached to this Work Letter as Exhibit 1, with finishes consistent with Tenant’s existing premises on the first floor of the Building.

 

2.

Landlord’s architect shall be responsible for the timely preparation and submission of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “Plans”) necessary to construct the Landlord Work. Landlord’s architect shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Expansion Area and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment). Landlord’s architect will prepare the Plans necessary for such construction at Tenant’s cost, which cost shall be paid out of the Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord has provided free space planning services for the Expansion Area through EA Architecture (the cost of which free space planning services will not count against the Allowance). Landlord’s architect shall complete the Plans within fourteen (14) business days following the full execution of this Amendment. Tenant shall have three (3) business days to review the Plans and make any changes. Landlord’s architect shall have four (4) business days to make the requested changes and resubmit same to Tenant. Tenant shall have two (2) business days to approve the final Plans. Time is of the essence in respect of preparation and submission of Plans

 

Exhibit B – Page 1


  by Tenant and Landlord. If the Plans are not approved by Tenant within the time frames outlined herein Tenant shall be responsible for one day of Tenant Delay (as defined in the Lease) for each day of delay. If the Plans are not prepared or approved by Landlord or Landlord’s architect within the time frames outlined herein Landlord shall be responsible for one day of Landlord Delay for each day of delay.

 

3. If Landlord’s estimate of the cost of the Landlord Work shall exceed the Allowance, Landlord, prior to commencing any construction of Landlord Work, shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost of the Landlord Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, contractor’s fees and permit fees. Within three (3) Business Days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord Work. If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate. The Construction Contract shall include a price not to exceed the estimate approved by Landlord and Tenant.

 

4. If the cost of construction as shown in the Construction Contract (with the approval of Tenant) shall exceed the Allowance (such amount exceeding the Allowance being herein referred to as the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein, subject to the fixed or maximum price in the Construction Contract. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes both a Tenant Delay and an event of default under the Lease.

 

5. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Plans after approval as outlined in Paragraph 2 above, Landlord shall have such revisions to the drawings prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice, or deduct said cost from the remaining Allowance if any. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion. Tenant, within two (2) business days, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such change, addition or deletion. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Expansion Area disregarding the requested change, addition or alteration, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Expansion Area until it receives notice of Tenant’s decision, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Expansion Area resulting therefrom. If such revisions result in a higher estimate of the cost of construction and/or higher actual construction costs which exceed the Allowance, such increased estimate or costs shall be deemed Excess Costs pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s statement.

 

Exhibit B – Page 2


6. Landlord shall cause the Landlord Work to be Substantially Completed in accordance with the approved Plans within ninety (90) days after the later of: (a) the date the Amendment to which this Work Letter is attached as an Exhibit is executed by Tenant and an executed original is forwarded to Landlord, (b) the date Tenant approves the final Plans for the Landlord Work as described in paragraph 2 above, (c) the date Tenant pays the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, and (d) the date Draper City issues a building permit for the Landlord Work. Landlord will notify Tenant when the Landlord Work is Substantially Completed.

 

7. Landlord, provided Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period, agrees to provide Tenant with an allowance (the “Allowance”) in an amount equivalent to $174,120.00. The Allowance will be applied only toward the cost of the Landlord Work in the Expansion Area. If the Allowance shall not be sufficient to complete the Landlord Work, Tenant shall pay the Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, as prescribed in Paragraph 4 above. Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Allowance a construction management fee for Landlord’s oversight of the Landlord Work in an amount equal to 5% of the total cost of the Landlord Work.

 

8. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless against all claims and liabilities made by any party in connection with the performance of the Landlord Work, except to the extent such claims or liabilities arise from negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against all claims and liabilities made by any party as a result of activities of Tenant or its agents or contractors on or about the Expansion Area or Revised Premises, except to the extent such claims arise from negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Landlord.

 

9. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Revised Premises at any later time (after completion of Landlord’s Work in connection with the Amendment to which this Exhibit is attached) or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Revised Premises or any additions to the Revised Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.
