Table of Contents

the Property to comply with any applicable law or regulation which was not applicable to the same at the entry into this Lease by the parties hereto, which cost shall be amortized over a period selected by the Landlord in its reasonable judgment, plus (2) interest on the unamortized balance of such cost calculated at that rate which is one percentage point above the prime rate of interest per annum from time to time announced by the Bank of America N. A.; (v) charges or fees or contributions in lieu of charges or fees for any necessary governmental permits; (vi) reasonable management fees, overhead and expenses ; (vii) premiums for hazard, rental interruption, liability, workmen’s compensation or other insurance for risks required or permitted by this Lease; (viii) costs arising under service contracts with independent contractors; (ix) costs of any services not provided by the Landlord to the Property on the date hereof but hereafter provided by the Landlord in its prudent management of the Property; and (x) the cost of any other items which, under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied from year to year with respect to the Property, constitute operating or maintenance costs attributable to any or all of the Property. Operating Costs shall not include (i) any deduction for depreciation of the Property taken on the Landlord’s income tax returns; (ii) the cost of capital improvements made to the Property (other than as described in subsection 3.2.1(a)(iv) above) if and to the extent that the expense thereof is not taken as a deduction of an ordinary business expense on the Landlord’s federal income tax returns, or (iii) the cost of the Landlord’s federal, state or local income taxes.

(b) The Tenant’s Percentage shall be used for purposes of allocating the Operating Costs to the Premises (and the rest of the net rentable spaces within the Property) in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.

3.2.2. Portion covered by Base Rent. Included in the Base Rent is an amount (the “Base Year Operating Costs Amount”) equaling the cost to the Landlord of providing to or for the benefit of the Premises all of the services or other items, the costs of which are included in the Operating Costs (excluding any of such services or other items to be provided at the Tenant’s direct expense under the provisions of Sections 6 and 7) for the Base Year.

3.2.3. Computation. After the end of each calendar year during the Term, the Landlord shall compute the total of the Operating Costs incurred during such calendar year, and shall allocate them to each separate net rentable space within the Property in proportion to the respective percentages assigned to such spaces; provided, however, that anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, wherever the Tenant and/or any other tenant of space within the Property has agreed in its lease or otherwise to provide any item of such services partially or entirely at its own expense, or wherever in the Landlord’s reasonable judgment any such significant item of expense is not incurred with respect to or for the benefit of all of the net rentable space within the Property (including, by way of example rather than of limitation, any such expense which, by its nature, is incurred only with respect to those spaces which are occupied), in allocating the Operating Costs the Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment, using generally accepted accounting principles, so as to avoid allocating to the Tenant or to such other tenant (as the case may be) those Operating Costs covering such

Table of Contents

services already being provided by the Tenant or by such other tenant at its own expense, or to avoid allocating to all of the net rentable space within the Property those Operating Costs incurred only with respect to a portion thereof.

3.2.4. Payment as Additional Rent. The Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefore by the Landlord (with respect to each calendar year during the Term), accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Operating Costs for such calendar year, pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent the amount by which (a) the Tenant’s Percentage of the Operating Costs for such calendar year (as derived and allocated under the provisions of subsection 3.2.3) exceeds (b) the Base Year Operating Costs Amount as defined in subsection 3.2.2.

3.2.5. Proration. If only part of any calendar year falls within the Term, the amount computed as Additional Rent for such calendar year under this subsection shall be prorated (but the expiration of the Term before the end of a calendar year shall not impair the Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay such prorated portion on demand, as aforesaid).

3.2.6. Landlord’s right to estimate. Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, the Landlord may, at its discretion, (a) make from time to time during the Term a reasonable estimate of the Additional Rent which may become due under such provisions for any calendar year, (b) require the Tenant to pay to the Landlord for each calendar month during such year one twelfth (1/12) of the estimate of such Additional Rent, at the time and in the manner that the Tenant is required hereunder to pay the monthly installment of the Base Rent for such month, and (c) at the Landlord’s reasonable discretion, increase or decrease from time to time during such calendar year the amount initially so estimated for such calendar year, all by giving the Tenant written notice thereof, accompanied by a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the expenses comprising the Operating Costs, as so estimated. In such event, the Landlord shall cause the actual amount of such Additional Rent to be computed and certified to the Tenant as soon as reasonably possible after the end of such calendar year, and the Tenant shall promptly thereafter pay to the Landlord the amount of any deficiency or the Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment to the next payment of Additional Rent, as the case may be.

3.2.7. Tenant’s right to review books and records. Within two (2) years after the close of each calendar year and no more frequently than annually, the Tenant and/or Tenant’s representative shall be entitled, at Tenant’s expense, at any reasonable time during regular business hours, after giving written notice thereof to the Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior thereto, to inspect in the Landlord’s business office (or at such other location as they may be kept) the Landlord’s books and records relating to the Operating Costs for the Property.

3.3. When due and payable.

3.3.1. The Base Rent for each Lease Year shall be due and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during such Lease Year; provided, however, that Advance Rent equal to the installment of the Base Rent

 

- 6 -


Table of Contents

payable for the first full calendar month of the Term (and, if the Term is scheduled to commence on a day other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, that portion of the Base Rent which is payable for such month) shall be due and payable on the full execution and delivery of this Lease.

3.3.2. Any Additional Rent accruing under any provision of this Lease shall, except as is otherwise set forth herein, be due and payable fifteen (15) days after the Landlord issues notice to the Tenant.

3.3.3. Each payment of Rent shall be made promptly when due, without any deduction, recoupment or setoff whatsoever, and without demand, failing which the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent (1) a late charge equaling ten percent (10%) of such payment and (ii) interest on the amount of such payment at an annual rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any payment made by the Tenant to the Landlord on account of Rent may be credited by the Landlord to the payment of any Rent then past due before being credited to Rent currently falling due. Any such payment which is less than the amount of Rent then due shall constitute a payment made on account thereof, and the parties agree that the Landlord’s acceptance of such payment (whether or not with or accompanied by an endorsement or statement that such lesser amount or the Landlord’s acceptance thereof constitutes payment in full of the amount of Rent then due) shall not alter or impair the Landlord’s rights hereunder to be paid all of such amount then due, or in any other respect.

3.4. Where payable. The Tenant shall pay the Rent, in lawful currency of the United States of America, to the Landlord by delivering or mailing it to the Landlord’s payment address which is set forth hereinabove, or to such other address or in such other manner as the Landlord from time to time specifies by written notice to the Tenant.

3.5. Tax on Lease. If federal, state or local law now or hereafter imposes any tax, assessment, levy or other charge (other than any income, inheritance or estate tax) directly or indirectly upon (a) the Landlord with respect to this Lease or the value thereof, (b) the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premise, (c) the Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or (d) this transaction, then (except if and to the extent that such tax, assessment, levy or other charge is included in Operating Costs) the Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as Additional Rent to the Landlord upon demand, unless the Tenant is prohibited by law from doing so, in which event the Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to the Tenant.

3.6. Security deposit. Intentionally omitted.

3.7. Lease Year. As used in the provisions of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” means (a) the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating on the day immediately preceding the first (1st) anniversary of the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar month during the Term, (b) each successive period of twelve (12) calendar months thereafter during the Term and (c) the period of fewer than twelve (12) months during which the Termination Date occurs, if the Term shall include any such period.

3.8. Solvency of Tenant and Guarantors. The Tenant represents and warrants to the Landlord that the Tenant or the guarantor (if any) of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) is solvent and that the financial statements of the Tenant and each Guarantor heretofore delivered to the Landlord fairly present the financial condition of the Tenant and/or such Guarantor and operations of the Tenant and such Guarantor at such date and the results of the Tenant’s operations and the Guarantor’s operations for the period then ended. No material adverse change in the business, financial condition, prospects or operations of the Tenant or any Guarantor has occurred since the date of such financial statements. Neither the Tenant nor any Guarantor has any material indebtedness or material liabilities other than as reflected on such financial statements.

3.9 Tenant’s Financial Statements. Upon written request of Landlord, Tenant will furnish Tenant’s or Guarantor’s most recent audited financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of profit and loss for the preceding fiscal year and any notes to the financial statements) to Landlord (or any Senior Holder, if so directed by Landlord), or, if no such audited statements have been prepared, such other financial statements (and notes to them) as may have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or, failing those, Tenant’s internally prepared financial statements. If requested, Tenant will discuss its financial statements with Landlord. Landlord will not disclose any aspect of Tenant’s financial statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except (1) to any Senior Holder or prospective purchasers of the Building, (2) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant, and (3) if required by court order.

SECTION 4. USE OF PREMISES AND THE PROPERTY.

4.1. Permitted uses. The Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises for and only for executive office, general office or professional office purposes. Landlord represents that Tenant’s proposed use of Premises for commercial banking is a permitted use of the premises.

4.2. Compliance with laws; conduct on the Premises.

4.2.1. The Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at its own expense, conform to and comply with all laws, regulations, orders and other governmental requirements, or requirements of the insurance service office, now or hereafter in force, affecting the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises. At all times during the Term and for any period that the Tenant enters the Premises before the Commencement Date to make its installations, the Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against and agrees to save the Landlord harmless from all expense or liability incurred, or penalty imposed because of any violation of any law, regulation, order or other governmental requirement occasioned by the neglect or omission, or willful act of the Tenant, its customers, employees, visitors, or invitees, independent contractors, or any person on the Premises or in the Building by permission or holding under Tenant unless such violation results solely from an act or omission on the part of the Landlord or an agent or employee of the Landlord. Following notice to the Landlord, the Tenant, by appropriate proceedings conducted with due diligence at the Tenant’s expense in the Tenant’s name, may contest in good faith the validity or enforcement of any applicable governmental requirement provided that the Landlord is not subjected to any fine or penalty.

4.2.2. The Tenant shall not do, or permit anything to be done, in the Premises, which in any way will (1) obstruct or interfere with the rights of the Landlord or of other tenants; (ii) injure or annoy the Landlord or the other tenants; (iii) subject the Landlord to any liability for injury to persons or damage to property; or (iv) interfere with the good order of the Building. Any expense incurred in consequence of negligence or the willful action of the Tenant, the Tenant’s employees, agents, servants, or invitees shall be payable to the Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent.

4.2.3. The Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) (a) cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Substances (as defined below), or (b) allow the storage or use of any Hazardous Substances in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the highest standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use thereof, or (c) allow any Hazardous Substances to be brought onto the Property except to use in the ordinary course of the Tenant’s business, and then only after written notice is given to the Landlord of the identity thereof and a plan for the safe handling of such Hazardous Substances is delivered to the Landlord by the Tenant and reviewed and approved by the Landlord and, if necessary, the Landlord’s environmental consultant (which review shall be at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense and which approval may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Landlord). For purposes of this Lease, “Hazardous Substances” shall include without limitation, all substances, materials, products, by-products, wastes (including medical or other bio-hazardous wastes) or other items of any type, the manufacture, storage, handling, disposal, or other possession of which is the subject of any federal, state or local environmental law or regulation (collectively “Environmental Laws”). Environmental Laws shall include, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. sections 9601 et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as Amended (42 U.S.C. sections 6901 et seq.), any similar applicable state or local laws, and the regulations adopted under these acts. If any lender or governmental agency ever requires testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of Hazardous Substances on the Premises by Tenant while this Lease is in effect, then the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by the Tenant to the Landlord upon demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises. The Tenant shall execute certificates from time to time at the Landlord’s request concerning the Tenant’s knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises. The Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against and from any liability, claim of liability or expense arising out of any release of Hazardous Substances on the Premises occurring while the Tenant is in possession thereof, or elsewhere on or about the Property if and only to the extent caused by the Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, contractors or invitees. The foregoing covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(a) At any time after the expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14, in lieu of collecting any further monthly installments, as aforesaid, the Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the Tenant, and the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on demand, damages Standard Leasing Agreement computed in the manner set forth in clause (1) of subparagraph 14.3.2(b), minus the amount of any such monthly installments previously recovered from the Tenant.

Such damages shall become due and payable to the Landlord immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default and without regard to whether or, if so, how this Lease is terminated. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, damages shall be limited to the extent allowed by the laws of the State of Utah.

During the continuance of this Lease after such a breach and until such damages are paid to the Landlord, the whole amount of each installment of Rent herein reserved shall be due and payable at the time herein specified, and if, by reason of the subsequent payment of liquidated damages, and the resulting reduction in Rent, the Landlord receives a sum in excess of all installments, as so reduced, becoming due after the breach and before the collection of such damages, such excess shall be refunded upon the Landlord’s receipt of such liquidated damages.

14.3.3. Nothing herein contained shall limit ox prejudice the Landlord’s right to prove for and obtain as damages, by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to in clause (1) of subparagraph 14.3.2(b).

The Tenant shall keep the windows and doors of the Premises (including those opening on corridors and all doors between rooms entitled to receive heating or air conditioning service and rooms not entitled to receive such service), closed while the heating or air conditioning system is operating, in order to minimize the energy used by, and to conserve the effectiveness of, such systems.

20.

Nothing in these Rules and Regulations shall give any Tenant any right or claim against the Landlord or any other person if the Landlord does not enforce any of them against any other tenant or person (whether or not the Landlord has the right to enforce them against such tenant or person), and no such non enforcement with respect to any tenant shall constitute a waiver of the right to enforce them as to the Tenant or any other tenant or person.

 

21.

The Landlord shall have the right to rescind, suspend or modify the Rules and Regulations and to promulgate such other Rules or Regulations as, in the Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are from time to time necessary or desirable for the reputation, safety, care, maintenance, operation and/or cleanliness of the Building, or for the preservation of good order therein. Upon the Tenant’s having been given notice of the taking of any such any action, the Rules and Regulations as so rescinded, suspended, modified or promulgated shall have the same force and effect as if in effect at the time at which the Tenant’s Lease was entered into (except that nothing in the Rules and Regulations shall be deemed in any way to alter or impair any provision of such Lease and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the Lease terms shall govern). Subject to the specific provisions of each tenant’s lease, the Landlord agrees to apply and enforce the Rules and Regulations in a uniform and reasonable manner, taking into account the nature, extent and frequency of the violations thereof by the respective tenants of the Property.

ADDENDUM TO LEASE

THIS ADDENDUM TO LEASE (“Addendum”) is attached to and made a part of that certain Agreement of Lease (“Lease”) dated July 3, 2002, by and between B-Line Holdings, L.C., a Utah limited liability company (“Landlord”) and Medallion Bank, a Utah industrial bank for certain premises located at 6600 South 1100 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121 as more particularly described in the Lease. In the event of any contradiction or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Addendum and the terms and provisions of the Lease to which it is attached, the terms and provisions of this Addendum shall control. All defined terms not specifically defined in this Addendum shall be given the same meaning as the defined terms in the Lease.

1. Landlord represents to Tenant that with respect to all provisions of the Lease, all of the area in the Building, including the Premises, is and shall be measured, and the calculation of rentable space, usable space and Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs is and shall be determined, using a formula which is applied to all areas of the Building and all Tenants on a consistent and uniform basis.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Operating Costs shall not include: (i) expenses for any capital improvements made to the Property which do not result in a reduction of the Operating Expenses; (ii) expenses for painting, redecorating or other work which Landlord performs for any other tenant of the Property; (iii) expenses for repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance; (iv) expenses incurred in leasing or procuring new tenants, including brokerage fees; (v) legal expenses incurred in enforcing the terms of any lease; (vi) interest on amortization payments on any mortgage; (vii) costs to repair or maintenance of common areas due to negligence or willful acts of Landlord, other tenants or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and visitors; (viii) costs associated with repairing the defective construction of the Buildings and other improvements located at the Property; (ix) taxes on Landlord’s business (such as income, excess profits, franchise, capital stock, estate, inheritance); (x) expenses paid directly by a Tenant for any reason including, without limitation, excessive utility use; (xi) services or benefits or both provided to some but not all tenants of the Property; (xii) all costs, fines, and the like due to Landlord’s violation of, or failure to comply with, any governmental rules or authorities; and (xiii) expenses that are duplicative. Additionally, Landlord covenants that it will conduct the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building and the Property in an efficient and economical manner.

3. Landlord agrees to keep at the Building or at its principal office at least 36 months after the expiration of each calendar year, accurate books and records of all expenses and costs related to the Operating Costs, all of which shall be kept in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles. Tenant and/or Tenant’s agents shall have the right from time to time upon reasonable advanced notice to inspect and audit all such books and records to determine the accuracy thereof. If such audit discloses that the statement of Operating Costs is inaccurate to the extent of five percent (5%) or more, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, within 10 days of written notice, the reasonable costs of such audit in addition to any deficiency.

4. If Tenant exercises its option to renew (“Option”), Base Rent during the term of the Option period shall be based on “Fair Market Rental Value.” Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:

(a) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after Landlord receives notice from Tenant that Tenant intends to exercise its Option. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value as contained in said notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of Landlord’s determination, which notice shall further set forth Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. Should Tenant timely notify Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve their differences within five (5) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s objection notice. Should the parties be unable to timely resolve their differences, each party shall within five (5) days thereafter, at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, appoint an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five years full time commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located to appraise and determine the Fair Marker Rental Value within ten (10) days of their appointment. If a party does not appoint an appraiser within said five (5) day period, the single appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser and shall determine the Fair Market Rental Value within ten (10) days of his appointment. If two appraisers are appointed by the parties, the appraisers shall meet promptly attempt to mutually determine the Fair Market Rental Value.

If the two appraisers are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days of their appointment, then if the difference between them is less than five percent (5%)(determined as a ratio of the larger appraisal), the appraisals shall be added together and divided by two, the quotient being the Fair Market Rental Value; but if such difference is five percent (5%) or greater, the appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications as stated in this Section within five (5) days after the last day of the two appraisers are given to set the Fair Market Rental Value. If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either party may petition the District Court in Salt Lake City for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in this Section. Each of the parties shall bear one-half of the third appraiser’s fees and charges. Within twenty (20) days after the selection of the third appraiser, the three (3) appraisers shall independently determine the Fair Market Rental Value. The average of the two (2) appraisals nearest in value shall conclusively be deemed the Fair Market Rental Value, and the Base Rent as of the first day of the term of the Option period shall be set based thereon.

5. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of a Tenant default. Wherever either party to the Lease is required or requested to give its consent, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6. Notwithstanding any subordination under Section 13 of the Lease, so long as the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default (beyond any applicable cure period): (a) Tenant’s possession and occupancy of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Senior Holder or its successors and assigns in the exercise of any of its rights under the Senior Instrument, or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; (ii) any extension or renewal rights in the Lease shall not be diminished or interfered with by Senior Holder; and (iii) Tenant will not be joined as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease in any proceeding for fore closure of the Senior Instrument. Any subordination requested to be executed by Tenant shall contain a non-disturbance provision in the same form as set forth in this Section 6.
