In the event Tenant does not occupy the Premises and fails to pay Rents as required in Article 4 of the Lease, all Tenant Improvements become due and payable upon invoicing by Landlord.

payable in advance each month on or before the 1st day of each month during the duration of the Lease, with the first such monthly rental payment and security deposit (see section 33) being due upon the execution of the Lease. Any partial months shall be prorated accordingly. Base Rent will be increased (approximately 4% annually) during the Lease Term, as indicated in the schedule above, and during any Option period (after adjustment to fair market value at beginning of any Option period). All Base Rent and Additional Rent (collectively “Rents”) shall be paid as follows, unless otherwise directed in writing: Draper Business Park, L.C.; 12257 So Business Park Drive Suite 110, Draper, UT 84020.

 

(b)     Additional Rent.    All obligations payable by Tenant under the Lease other than Base Rent are called “Additional Rent”. Unless otherwise provided, Additional Rent shall be paid with the next monthly installment of Base Rent upon invoicing from Landlord.

 

(c)    Interest, Late Charges, Costs and Attorney’s Fees.    If Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days of the date due any Rents which Tenant is obligated to pay under the Lease, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at ten (10%) percent per annum. Tenant acknowledges that any late payments of Rents shall cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under the Lease, including without limitation administrative, collection and accounting costs, the exact amount of which is difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in addition to interest, any payments not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the date it is due, Tenant shall also pay Landlord a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of the late Rents. Further, as Additional Rent, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for costs and attorneys’s fees incurred as a result of late payments or non-payments. Acceptance of any interest, late charge, costs or attorneys’ fees shall not constitute a waiver of any default by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies under the Lease or at law.

 

5.    USE.

 

(a)    The Premises shall be used for general office purposes, and any other lawful purpose incidental to Tenant’s business, and no other, unless consented to in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises or Building anything

 

3


which is prohibited by or in any way in conflict with (in the case of hazardous materials, Tenant shall notify Landlord of any such materials and shall ensure that any such hazardous material is properly controlled, safeguarded, and disposed of) any and all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated or which is prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy, or which will increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Premises or Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises or Building or any part thereof or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or Building which will in any way violate Rules or Regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord throughout the Lease, obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants, or injure them or use or allow the Premises or Building to be used for any improper, immoral, or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance, in, on or about the Premises of Building or commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the Premises or Building.

(c)    Tenant shall not manufacture, assemble or store materials inside the common areas outside of Building.

 

6.    LANDLORD’S SERVICES.

All other operating services, including but not limited to repairs, maintenance, common area utilities, tenant utilities, common area janitorial, mutually-agreed tenant janitorial, sewer and garbage, insurance, taxes, and property management on the Premises, Building, and common areas shall be coordinated by Landlord, but are the financial responsibility of the Tenant through prorated Operating Expenses as more fully outlined in Article 7 herein.

 

7.   OPERATING EXPENSES—REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, INSURANCE, TAXES AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

4


Rentable square feet of the Building. The Operating Expenses shall be prorated to Tenant and be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent on a monthly basis. Further, the following terms and conditions apply:

 

(a)    Tenant’s prorated share of the Operating Expenses shall be computed and paid in twelve (12) equal monthly estimated payments as determined in the Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant on or before the 1st day of each month with Base Rent. As soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the Premises’ and Building’s actual Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. In the case of a deficiency, Tenant shall remit within thirty (30) days of notice thereof its prorata share of such deficiency to Landlord. In the case of a surplus, Landlord shall apply said surplus to the next Additional Rent due from Tenant.

 

(b)    Right to Review.    Tenant may review at his sole cost and expense any Operating Expenses prorated to Tenant by Landlord, including assessed Real Estate Taxes as may be statutorily allowed.

8.    ALTERATIONS.

 

(a)    Tenant will not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or improvements in excess of $1,000, excluding the initial Tenant Improvements, (collectively “Alterations”) to or upon the Premises, Building, or any part thereof, or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto, without first obtaining Landlord’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Alterations to or upon the Premises shall be made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and any contractor selected by Tenant to make the same shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior written approval. All such Alterations permanent in character, made in or upon the Premises either by Tenant or Landlord, may at the option of Landlord, become Landlord’s property and, at the end of the term or any extension hereof, shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant unless Landlord requests that Tenant remove any such Alterations. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant’s work stations and other items of personal property shall remain Tenant’s property.

 

(b)    Any Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as not to lessen the value of the Premises or improvements as may be located thereon. Any Alterations shall be made promptly, in a workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable permits, building and zoning laws, and with all other laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments, departments, commissions, boards and offices. The costs of any Alterations shall be paid by Tenant, so that the Premises be free of liens for services performed, labor and material supplied or claimed to have been supplied. Before any Alterations shall be commenced, Tenant shall pay any increase in premiums on

insurance policies (provided for herein) or ensure adequate coverage is in place for all risks related to the construction of such Alterations and the increased value of the Premises.

Tenant’s employees, agents, or invitee’s, an abatement of Rents shall be allowed Tenant for such portion of Premises and period of time as the Premises was unusable by Tenant.

 

(b)    If in Landlord’s reasonable opinion the partially damaged Premises can be repaired, but not within sixty (60) days, the Landlord may elect, upon written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of such damages, to repair such damages over a longer time period and continue the Lease in full force and effect, but with Rents partially abated as provided in Article 11(a). In the event such repairs cannot be made within sixty (60) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease provided that written notice is given to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice stated in this paragraph.

In the event Tenant should desire to assign the Lease or sublet the Premises.

17.    RULES.

 

Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with all Rules and Regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord, in writing and after reasonable notice, during the Term or any Option period herein.

19.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall constitute a breach of the Lease by Tenant: (a) if Tenant fails to pay Rents when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than ten (10) business days after written notice of Landlord, or (b) if Tenant fails to pay any other sum when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice thereof; or (c) if Tenant fails to perform or observe any material term or condition of the Lease, such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, and Tenant does not within such period begin with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so begun, thereafter fails or neglects to complete with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default; or (d) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file any answer admitting or shall fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its properties; or (e) if within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within thirty (30) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, or any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated; or (f) vacation or abandonment of the Premises for a continuous period in excess of fifteen (15) days or, (g) if the Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within ten (10) days or receipt thereof by Tenant.

 

20.    TERMINATION UPON TENANT’S DEFAULT.

 

If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord at any time thereafter may give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice (which shall not be less than three (3) business days after service) Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and the Lease shall terminate, unless on or before such date all Rents, arrearages and other sums due by Tenant under the Lease, including reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of Default by Tenant shall have been fully cured to the satisfaction of Landlord. Upon such termination, Landlord may recover

 

11


 

from Tenant:

 

(a)    the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rents which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

 

(b)    the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rents which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rents loss that Tenant proved could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

(c)    the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rents for the balance of the term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rents loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and plus

 

(d)    any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and/or

 

(e)    At Landlord’s elections, such other amounts in addition or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time herein or by applicable law.

 

The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (c) above means the monthly sum of the Rents under the Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time thereafter.

 

21.    CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT.

 

Even though Tenant has defaulted the Lease and abandoned the Premises, the Lease shall continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, including the right to recover the Rents as they become due under the Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under the Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. If any fixture, equipment, improvement, installation or appurtenance shall be required to be removed from the Premises and/or Building by Tenant, then Landlord (in addition to all other rights and remedies) may, at its election by written notice to Tenant, deem that the same has been abandoned by Tenant to Landlord, or Landlord may remove and store the same and restore the Premises to its original condition at the reasonable expense of Tenant, as Additional Rent to be paid within ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant of such expense.

 

22.    LANDLORD’S DEFAULT.

 

12


 

If Landlord fails to perform or observe any of its Lease obligations herein and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant, or such additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure such failure after receiving written notice, Landlord shall be in breach of the Lease (a “Default”). If Landlord commits a Default, Tenant may pursue any remedies given in the Lease or under law.

 

23.    LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS.

 

All terms and provisions to be performed by Tenant under the Lease shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rents. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than Rents, required hereunder or fails to perform any other act required hereunder and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in the Lease. All sums paid by Landlord and all incidental costs shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable within ten (10) days of written notice of such sums paid.

 

24.    OTHER RELIEF.

 

The remedies provided for in the Lease are in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise.

 

25.    ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

 

In the event either party places the enforcement of the Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any Rents, or recovery of the possession of the Premises, or files suit upon the same, then the prevailing party shall recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

26.    EMINENT DOMAIN.

 

If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken or conveyed as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the Lease shall terminate as the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as the balance of the Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed shall be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant’s use of the balance of the Premises. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent awards or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection therewith, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of the Lease or otherwise, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent or awards paid for or on account of Tenant’s moving expenses, trade fixture, equipment and any leasehold improvements in the Premises, the cost of

which was borne by Tenant, to the extent of the then unamortized value of such improvements for the remaining term of the Lease. In the event of a taking of a Premises which does not result in a termination of the Lease, the monthly rental herein shall be apportioned as of the date of such taking so that thereafter the rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the Premises not so taken bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking.

At Landlord’s request, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver within ten (10 days to Landlord a Subordination, Attornment & Nondisturbance Agreement (“Subordination Agreement”), in Landlord’s proposed form(s). Such Subordination Agreement shall subordinate the Lease to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, Building or common areas, or any part thereof, to any and all advances made on the security, and to all renewals, modification, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof, whether the Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other hypothecation or the date of recording thereof. Further, at Landlord’s request, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver within ten (10) days to Landlord an Estoppel Certificate, subject to Landlord’s proposed form(s). Such Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or beneficiary under any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation of the Premises, Building, or common areas, or any part thereof. Notwithstanding such Subordination Agreement Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, unless the Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

In the event that Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord such Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate (sample documents attached hereto as Exhibits C & D) within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request, the parties herein expressly agree that Tenant shall be deemed in default of the Lease without further notice. In the event of such Tenant default, the parties herein further expressly agree that the Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate are deemed to have been executed by Tenant.

 

28.    NO MERGER.

 

The voluntary or other surrender of the Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

 

29.    SALE.

 

In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner of the Premises, Building, or common areas shall sell or convey the Premises, Building, or common areas, and

the purchaser assumes the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, all liabilities and obligation on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under the Lease accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such a new owner.

 

30.    NO LIGHT, AIR OR VIEW EASEMENT.

 

Any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure erected on land adjacent to the Building shall in no way affect the Lease or impose any liability on Landlord.

 

31.    HOLDING OVER.

 

If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term or any Option period of the Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms herein specified, but at a monthly Base Rent equivalent to 110% of the Base Rent at the end of the term or extension period pursuant to Article 4, payable in advance on or before the 1st day of each month. All Additional Rent shall also apply. Each party shall give the other notice at least one month prior to the date of termination of monthly tenancy of its intention to terminate such tenancy.

 

32.    ABANDONMENT.

 

If Tenant shall abandon or surrender the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord.

 

33.    SECURITY DEPOSIT.

 

Landlord shall transfer Tenant security deposit with Landlord for building 5, 12227 South Business Park Dr. upon execution of the Lease in the amounts of $3,233.58 for suite 200 and $3,113.02 for suite 100 for a total of $6,346.60(“Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to perform or observe any of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by it, then, at the option of the Landlord, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary to remedy such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant. In the event Landlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit to remedy any such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand for such payment by Landlord, all monies necessary to restore the Security Deposit up to the original amount. Any portions of the Security Deposit remaining upon termination of the Lease shall be returned.

34.    WAIVER.

 

All waivers by either party herein must be in writing and signed by such party. The waiver of any term or conditions herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition or provision herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice between the parties be construed to waive or to lessen the right of either party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of Rents hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or condition of the Lease, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such breach at the time of acceptance of such Rents.

 

35.    NOTICES.
