II.
TERM
2.1
Length of Term. The term of this Lease (the "Primary Term"), shall be for a
period of six (6) years commencing on the Rental Commencement Date (as defined
below). Tenant shall have two (2)- successive options to renew this Lease for a
five (5) year renewal term (the "Renewal Term") for each option on the same
terms provided in this Lease; provided, however, that the rental rate for each
Renewal Term shall be the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises as of
the beginning of the Renewal Term. If the parties cannot agree upon such fair
market value, then each party shall designate a real estate appraiser with
experience in commercial rental properties. If the two appraisers cannot agree
upon a fair market value, then they shall designate a third appraiser, and each
appraiser shall provide a good faith determination of the fair market rental
value. The highest and lowest appraised value shall be discarded and the fair
market value shall be the remaining appraisal. Each party shall pay its own
appraiser, and the fees of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between
the parties. Each option to renew shall be exercised by Tenant giving written
notice to Landlord of its exercise of the option to renew at least six (6)
months prior to the expiration of the Primary Term or the next preceding Renewal
Term.
2.2
Rental Commencement Date; Obligation to Pay Rent. The term of this Lease and

written acknowledgment of the Rental Commencement Date in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "D".
III.
RENTAL PAYMENTS

"Annual Rental") at such place as Landlord may designate, without prior demand
therefore, Five Hundred and Seventy-One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Four and
no/100 Dollars ($571,164.00).
To the
extent that Tenant already paid, prior to the execution of this Lease, sums
greater than the rent called for hereunder (hence, sums greater than $47,597 per
month for the rental dates starting on January 1, 2008 forward) excluding
non-rental expenses, Landlord agrees to remit to Tenant the amount of this
overpayment for 2008 by wire transfer within 14 days of the execution of this
Lease.
The
aforementioned Annual Rental shall be due and payable in twelve (12) equal
monthly installments to be paid in advance on or before the first day of each
calendar month during the term of the Lease. In the event the Rental
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
then rent shall be paid on the Rental Commencement Date for the initial
fractional calendar month prorated on a per-diem basis (based upon a thirty (30)
day month).
3.2
Additional Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall also pay as rental (in addition to
the Annual Rent) all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall have the same remedies in
the case of a default in the payment of said other sums of money as are
available to Landlord in the case of a default in the payment of one or more
installments of Annual Rent.
IV. ADDITIONAL
RENT
It is the
intent of both parties that the Annual Rental herein specified shall be
absolutely net to the Landlord throughout the term of this Lease and that all
necessary and reasonable costs, expenses and obligations relating to the Leased
Premises that arise or become due during the term of this Lease shall be paid by
Tenant, except as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall
not be responsible to Landlord for (a) any "overhead" of Landlord or "similar
indirect expenses" relating to the operation of the Leased Premises or the
Building, or (b) any costs, expenses or obligations specifically assumed by
Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, costs incurred in
connection with the construction of the Building and the maintenance of its
structural components, or (c) any Specifically Excluded Costs, as defined
below.
For purposes of this Part IV and the
Lease in general, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings set
forth below:
(a) "Basic
Costs" shall mean all actual costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection with the operation, management and
maintenance of the Building and Property and related improvements located
thereon (the "Improvements"), including, but not limited to, all expenses
incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord's compliance with any and all of
its obligations under this Lease (or under similar leases with other
tenants). In explanation of the foregoing, and not in limitation
thereof, Basic Costs shall include: all real and personal property
taxes and assessments (whether general or special, known or unknown, foreseen or
unforeseen) and any tax or assessment levied or charged in lieu thereof, whether
assessed against Landlord and/or Tenant and whether collected from Landlord
and/or Tenant; snow removal, trash removal, common area utilities, cost of
equipment or devices used to conserve or monitor energy consumption, supplies,
insurance, license, permit and inspection fees, cost of services of independent
contractors, cost of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe
benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with
day-to-day operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Building, its
equipment and the adjacent walk and landscaped area (including, but not limited
to janitorial, scavenger, gardening, security, parking, elevator, painting,
plumbing, electrical, mechanical, carpentry, window washing, structural and roof
repairs and reserves, signing and advertising), but excluding persons performing
services not uniformly available to or performed for substantially all Building
tenants; and rental expense or a reasonable allowance for depreciation of
personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Building.
The foregoing notwithstanding, Basic Costs shall not include depreciation on the
Building and Improvements; amounts paid toward principal or interest of loans of
Landlord; nor "Direct Costs" as defined in Section 4.1(b) below.
(b) "Direct
Costs" shall mean all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with the operation, management, maintenance, replacement, and repair
of tenants' premises, including but not limited to janitorial services,
maintenance, repairs, supplies, utilities, heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, and property management fees, which property management fees shall
be equal to a percentage of the sum of Tenant's Basic Annual Rent and Estimated
Costs, including electricity charges if separately metered and parking charges
if applicable, which percentage shall not exceed three percent
(3%). Tenant shall pay its share of Direct Costs of the
Building. The amount of Tenant's Direct Costs shall be obtained by
multiplying the expenses in question by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the gross rentable square footage of the Tenant’s premises, and the
denominator of which shall be the gross rentable square feet of the Building
during any given year in which the Direct Costs are then being
calculated.
Landlord shall cause meters to be
installed to measure actual electrical and ventilation/air conditioning usage by
Tenant. If such meters are installed, Tenant shall pay Landlord
monthly, as additional rent, the estimated costs of such metered electrical and
ventilation/air conditioning usage. At least annually, Landlord shall
reconcile the estimated costs of these metered services and shall show the
actual costs and shall apply any appropriate credits or debits from the previous
year's actual usage. All such xxxxxxxx will be computed at the
actual kilowatt hourly rate billed to the Landlord by the public utility
companies for each respective period, including taxes. The costs of
ventilation/air conditioning usage by Tenant shall be equitably apportioned
among all building tenants according to usage. Tenant shall promptly
pay to Landlord the amount due on each monthly billing received for and
throughout the term of the Lease.
(c) "Estimated
Costs" shall mean the projected amount of Tenant's Direct Costs and Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Basic Costs, excluding the costs of electricity and
ventilation/air conditioning provided to Tenant's Leased Premises, if separately
metered. The Estimated Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease
commences are $364,973 including the costs of electricity and ventilation/air
conditioning to the Tenant's Leased Premises, and are not included in the Basic
Annual Rent. If the Estimated Costs as of the date Tenant takes
occupancy are greater than Tenant's Estimated Costs at the time this Lease is
executed, the Estimated Costs shall be increased to equal the Estimated Costs as
of the date of Tenant's occupancy.
(d) "Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Basic Costs" shall mean the percentage derived from the
fraction, the numerator of which is the gross rentable square footage of the
Leased Premises (51,924), the denominator of which is the gross rentable square
footage of the Building (90,000). In this Lease, Tenant's pro-rata
share initially is 57.69%, subject to increase or decrease due to increases or
decreases in the gross rentable square footage of the Leased Premises and/or the
Building.
(e) “Specifically
Excluded Costs” shall mean:
(i) Any
depreciation on the Premises or the Building;
(ii) Costs
incurred due to Landlord’s violation of any terms or conditions of this Lease or
any other lease relating to the Building or Premises;
(iii) All
principal, interest, loan fees, and other carrying costs related to any mortgage

underlying lease related to the Building, unless such costs are directly
attributable to a Tenant's breach or default under this Lease;
(iv) Advertising
and promotional expenditures, including charitable contributions;
(v) Any
costs, fines, or penalties incurred due to violations by Landlord of any
governmental rule or authority, this Lease or any other lease in the Building or
Premises or due to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful

cost of providing any service directly to and paid directly by any
tenant;
(xi) All
management or similar fees other than the 3% Management Fee agreed to by
Tenant;
(xii) Costs
associated with:
(A) Operation
of the business of the ownership of the Building or the Premises or entity that
constitutes Landlord or Landlord’s property manager, as distinguished from the
cost of Building operations, including the costs of partnership or corporate
accounting and legal matters; defending or prosecuting any lawsuit or disputes
with any mortgagee, lender, ground lessor, broker, tenant, occupant, or
prospective tenant or occupant; selling or syndicating any of Landlord’s
interest in the Building; and disputes between Landlord and Landlord’s property
manager;
(B) Landlord’s
general corporate or partnership overhead and general administrative expenses,
including the salaries of management personnel other than those who are
primarily engaged in the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Building,
except to the extent that those costs and expenses are included in the
Management Fees;
(xiii) Costs
of:
(A) Initial
construction of the Building;
(B) Reconstruction
or repair of the Building; or
(C) Modification,
alteration, or repair of any portion of the Building due to faulty initial

special events such as shows, promotions, filming, displays, photography,
private events or parties, ceremonies, and advertising.
(xv) Capital
improvement or capital replacement related to the Building (“Capital Costs”),
including Costs incurred by Landlord that are considered to be capital
improvements or capital replacements under generally accepted accounting
practices (GAAP); and
(xvi) All
Project Operating Expenses and costs of every kind and nature which Landlord
shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the
ownership and operation of the other buildings rather than the
Building.
(xvii) Legal,
accounting, audit, verification and other consulting fees relating to the
ownership, as opposed to the operation, of the Building.
(xviii) Fees
or costs paid to affiliates or parties related to Landlord to the extent such
fees and costs are in excess of the fees and costs which would have been paid to
unrelated parties for similar services or products;
(xix) Expenditures
to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act in effect or adopted prior to the
Term Commencement Date and expenditures relating to the remediation of Hazardous
Materials in or about the Building as of the Rental Commencement Date, including
costs of reporting, and/or monitoring; and

to Iomega on March 24, 2008 titled, “Iomega II Operating Costs,” showing total
estimated expenses payable by Iomega for this Lease as $337,706.72 (plus $27,266
in annual management fees). Landlord represents that such estimate is
non-binding and may vary from actual expenses to be incurred by Tenant, but
Landlord represents that the March 24, 2008 estimate is Landlord’s best good
faith estimate of total reasonably foreseeable and likely expenses chargeable to
Tenant, following a reasonable investigation.
(g) It is expressly
understood that repairing and maintaining equipment and machinery used
exclusively by Tenant shall be the sole responsibility and cost to
Tenant. Such equipment and machinery shall include but not be limited
to equipment used by Tenant for Information Technology and Research and
Development such as, cascade environmental xxxxxxxx, RUPS and Generator
equipment and associated switch gear. Such costs to repair and
maintain equipment unique to the conduct of Tenant’s business shall be paid
directly by Tenant and shall not be considered as Basic and/or Direct
costs.

previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.3(b) below.
(b) Prior

of the Estimated Costs as defined in Section 4.1(c).
(b) Within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the written statement referred to in section
4.2(a) above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which Tenant's Direct
Costs and Proportionate Share of Basic Costs, as specified in such written
statements, exceed the aggregate of Estimated Costs actually paid by Tenant for
the year at issue. Payments by Tenant shall be made pursuant to this
Section 4.3(b) notwithstanding that a statement pursuant to Section 4.2(a) is
furnished to Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease.
(c) If
the annual statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant
pursuant to Section 4.3(a) above for any year exceeded Tenant's Direct Costs and
Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic Costs for the same year, Landlord, at its
election, shall either (i) promptly pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or
(ii) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or

statement. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or
arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within 45 days after receipt of such
statement, pay Additional Rent in accordance with Landlord's statement, and such
payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant's position. If the
dispute shall be determined in Tenant's favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay
Tenant the amount of Tenant's overpayment of rents resulting from compliance
with Landlord's statement. Landlord agrees to grant Tenant reasonable
access to Landlord's books and records for the purpose of verifying operating
expenses incurred by Landlord.

in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) shall be deemed an
assignment within the meaning of this Section.

Consent Required. Any assignment or subletting without Landlord's consent shall
be void, and shall constitute a default hereunder which, at the option of
Landlord, shall result in the termination of this Lease or exercise of
Landlord's other remedies hereunder, if such assignment or subletting is not
revoked by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written demand by Landlord.
Consent to any assignment or subletting shall not operate as a waiver of the
necessity for consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, and the terms
of such consent shall be binding upon any person holding by, under, or through
Tenant.
8.3
Landlord's Right in Event of Assignment. If this Lease is assigned or if the
Leased Premises or any portion thereof are sublet or occupied by any person
other than the Tenant, Landlord may collect rent and other charges from such
assignee or other party, and apply the amount collected to the rent and other
charges reserved hereunder, but such collection shall not constitute consent or
waiver of the necessity of consent to such assignment, subleasing, or other
transfer, nor shall such collection constitute the recognition of such assignee,
sublessee, or other party as the Tenant hereunder or a release of Tenant from
the further performance of all of the covenants and obligations, including the
obligation to pay rent, of Tenant herein contained. In the event that Landlord

shall keep in force at its sole cost and expense, fire and "All Risk" (including
vandalism and malicious mischief) insurance equal to the replacement cost of
"Tenant's fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and contents upon the Leased
Premises, and all improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, and the
Building (excluding fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and contents belonging to
tenants other than Landlord and all improvements or additions made by tenants
other than Landlord). Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on all
such policies.
10.2
Property Coverage. Landlord shall obtain and maintain in force "All Risk"
insurance, including vandalism and malicious mischief, required to cover any
loss or destruction that the Leased Premises herein may experience during the
Lease period and any extension thereof, and including, at Landlord's discretion,
flood and earthquake coverage if commercially available at reasonable rates.
Such insurance shall also include coverage against loss of rents. Landlord shall
submit to Tenant copies of all the proposed policies for Tenant to review.
Landlord and Tenant shall jointly agree on the coverage to be purchased on the

10.3
Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, during the entire term hereof, keep in full
force and effect a policy of public liability and property damage insurance with
respect to the Leased Premises and Building, with a combined single limit for
personal or bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000.00.
The policy shall name Landlord, any person, firms, or corporations designated by
Landlord, and Tenant as insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer
will not cancel or materially change the insurance pertaining to the Leased
Premises without first giving Landlord ten (10) days written notice. Tenant
shall at all times during the term hereof provide Landlord with evidence of
current insurance coverage. All public liability, property damage, and other
liability policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with
coverage which Landlord may carry. All such policies shall contain a provision
that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to
recover under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents,
and employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant. All such insurance shall
specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to
liability for injury to or death of persons or injury or damage to property
contained in Part IX.
10.4
Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord each waives its right of subrogation
against each other for any reason whatsoever with respect to claims that are
covered by and paid for through any policies of insurance maintained by either
Landlord or Tenant..

Lender. Any mortgage lender interest in any part of the Building or Improvements
may, at Landlord's option, be afforded coverage under any policy required to be
secured by Tenant hereunder, by use of a mortgagee's endorsement to the policy
concerned.
XI.
DESTRUCTION
If the
Leased Premises shall be partially damaged by any casualty insured against under
any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Landlord shall, upon receipt of the
insurance proceeds, repair the Leased Premises, and until repair is complete the
Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that
portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if (a) the Leased Premises by reason of such occurrence are rendered
wholly untenantable, or (b) the Leased Premises should in whole or in part
during the last six (6) months of the term or of any renewal hereof, or (c) the
Leased Premises or the Building (whether the Leased Premises are damaged or not)
should be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
then-monetary value thereof, then and in any such events, Landlord may either
elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation
within ninety (90) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire,
and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. Tenant's
liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the day
following Landlord's giving notice of cancellation. In the event Landlord elects
to repair any damage, any abatement of rent shall end five (5) days after notice
by Landlord to Tenant that the Leased Premises have been repaired. If the damage
is caused by the negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, or
concessionaires, there shall be no abatement of rent. Unless this Lease is
terminated by Landlord, Tenant shall repair and refixture the interior of the
Leased Premises in a manner and in at least a condition equal to that existing
prior to the destruction or casualty and the proceeds of all insurance carried
by Tenant on its property and fixtures shall be held in trust by Tenant for the
purpose of said repair and replacement.
XII.
CONDEMNATION
12.1
Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or
taken by condemnation proceeding, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as
of the date of title vesting in such proceeding.
12.2
Partial Condemnation. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken as
aforesaid, and such partial taking shall render that portion not so taken
unsuitable for Tenant's operations, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as
aforesaid. If such partial taking is not extensive enough to render the Leased
Premises unsuitable for Tenant's operations, then this Lease shall continue in
effect except that the Annual Rental and Additional Rent shall be reduced in the
same proportion that the portion of the Leased Premises (including basement, if
any) taken bears to the total area initially demised, and Landlord shall, upon
receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations
to the Building in which the Leased Premises are located, provided that Landlord
shall not be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the amount
received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Leased Premises so taken.
"Amount received by Landlord" shall mean that part of the award in condemnation
which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgage lenders for
the value of the diminished fee.
12.3
Landlord's or Tenant's Option to Terminate. If more than twenty percent (20%) of
the Building shall be taken as aforesaid, Landlord or Tenant may, by written
notice to the other party, terminate this Lease. If this Lease is terminated as
provided in this Section, rent shall be paid up to the day that possession is so
taken by public authority and Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any
rent paid by Tenant in advance.
12.4
Award. Tenant shall be entitled to any condemnation award for any taking,
whether whole or partial, to the extent such award is specifically given for
diminution in value of Tenant's Leasehold or cost to relocate. Tenant
shall also be entitled to such other amounts as may be recoverable by Tenant in
its own right for damages to Tenant's business and fixtures.
12.5
Definition. As used in this Part XII the term "condemnation proceeding" means
any action or proceeding in which any interest in the Leased Premises is taken
for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise
of eminent domain or right of condemnation or by purchase or otherwise in lieu
thereof.
XIII.
LANDLORD'S RIGHTS TO CURE
13.1
General Right. In the event of breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder by
Landlord, following the Rental Commencement Date of this Lease Agreement, Tenant
shall, before exercising any right or remedy available to it, give Landlord
written notice of the claimed breach, default, or noncompliance. If prior to its
giving such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of
Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of a lender which
has furnished any of the financing referred to in Part XIV hereof, concurrently
with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, by registered mail,
transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the thirty (30) days following the
giving of the notice(s) required by the foregoing portion of this section (or
such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure a matter which,
due to its nature, cannot reasonably be rectified within thirty (30) days), if
within such thirty (30) day period Landlord has commenced and is diligently
pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach, default or
noncompliance involved, Landlord shall have the right to cure the breach,
default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure a default
within said period, any such lender shall have an additional thirty (30) days
within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot be cured within that
period, such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) day
period said lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or
remedies necessary to cure the breach default, or noncompliance involved
(including, but not limited to, commencement and prosecution of proceedings to
foreclose or otherwise exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security
instrument, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall
not be terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being
diligently pursued by said lender.
13.2
Mechanic's Lien. Should any mechanic's or other lien be filed against the Leased
Premises or any part thereof by reason of Tenant's acts or omissions or because
of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and
discharged of record by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by
Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may contest the amount or validity of
any such lien in good faith so long as Tenant ensures that the lien is satisfied
or released prior to any final foreclosure sale thereof.
XIV.
FINANCING; SUBORDINATION
14.1
Subordination. Tenant acknowledges that it might be necessary for Landlord or
its successors or assigns to secure mortgage loan financing or refinancing
affecting the Leased Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that the lender
interested in any given loan may desire that Tenant's interest under this Lease
be either superior or subordinate to the mortgage then held or to be taken by
said Lender. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that at the request of Landlord at any
time and from time to time Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an
instrument, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, whereby Tenant
subordinates its interest under this Lease and in the Leased Premises to such of
the following encumbrances as may be specified by Landlord: Any mortgage or
trust deed and customary related instruments are herein collectively referred to
merely as a "Mortgage" and securing a loan obtained by Landlord or its
successors or assigns for the purpose of enabling acquisition of the Building
and/or construction of additional improvements to provide permanent financing
for the Building, or for the purpose of refinancing any such construction,
acquisition, standing or permanent loan. Provided, however, that any such
instrument or subordination executed by Tenant shall provide that so long as
Tenant continues to perform all of its obligations under this Lease its tenancy
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Landlord's default in
connection with the Mortgage concerned or any resulting foreclosure or sale or
transfer in lieu of such proceedings. Tenant shall not subordinate its interests
hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien or encumbrance other than the
Mortgages described in and specified pursuant to this Section 14.1 without the
prior written consent of Landlord and of the lender interested under each
mortgage then affecting the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination
by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
14.2
Amendment. Tenant recognizes that Landlord's ability from time to time to obtain
construction, acquisition, standing, and/or permanent mortgage loan financing
for the Building and/or the Leased Premises may in part be dependent upon the
acceptability of the terms of this Lease to the lender concerned. Accordingly,
Tenant agrees that from time to time it shall, if so requested by Landlord and
if doing so will not adversely affect Tenant's interests hereunder join with
Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs or requirements of any
lender which is considering making or which has made a loan secured by a
mortgage affecting the Leased Premises.
14.3
Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord's interest under this
Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such disposition resulting from
Landlord's default under a mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease and also
Tenant shall attorn to Landlord's successor and assigns and shall recognize such
successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law
to the contrary or absence of privity of contract
XV.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
15.1
Default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord
shall have the remedies set forth in Section 15.2:
(a) Tenant
fails to pay any installment of Annual Rental or Additional Rent or any other
sum due hereunder within ten (10) days after Tenant receives written notice of
rent due.
(b) Tenant
fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it
pursuant to this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of such
default shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or, if cure would reasonably
require more than thirty (30) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence
performance within the thirty (30) day period or fails diligently to pursue such
cure to completion.
(c) Tenant or
any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any
debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to
state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency,
reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for
or enters into an arrangement; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of
execution.
15.2
Remedies. In the event of any material default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may
at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to
it, terminate Tenant's rights under this Lease by written notice, re-enter and
take possession of the Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating
this Lease), or pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord the reasonable cost of recovering possession of the Premises, all
reasonable costs of reletting, and all other reasonable costs and damages
arising out of Tenant's default (excluding consequential damages), including
reasonable attorneys' fees. Notwithstanding any re-entry, the liability of
Tenant for the rent reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of
the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any
deficiency arising from reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies
under this Lease; EXCEPT THAT in no event shall Tenant be liable for more than
the amount that would have otherwise been due had Tenant exercised its early
termination rights hereunder.
15.3 Past
Due Sums; Penalty. If Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any
Annual Rental, Additional Rent, or other sum required to be paid by it
hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to
the date of payment at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum
above the prime rate of interest charged by First Security Bank of Utah, Salt
Lake City, Utah. In addition thereto, if any such annual rental, additional
rent, or other sum is not paid within ten (10) days after receipt of written
demand, Tenant shall pay a sum of two percent (2%) of such unpaid amounts as a
service fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord's right concerning
such interest and service fee shall be limited by the maximum amount which may
properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable
law.
XVI. PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE
16.1
Surrender of Premises. At the expiration of this Lease, except for changes made
by Tenant that were approved by Landlord, Tenant shall surrender the Leased
Premises in the same condition, less reasonable wear and tear, as they were in
upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease and shall deliver all keys
to Landlord.
Before
surrendering the Leased Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its personal
property and trade fixtures and such property or the removal thereof shall in no
way damage the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs,
expenses and damages incurred in the removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove
its personal property and fixtures upon the expiration of this Lease, the same
shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of
Landlord.
16.2
Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any
renewal term shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at such
rates as Landlord may reasonably designate and on the terms herein specified so
far as possible.
XVII. ATTORNEYS'
FEES
In the
event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or the
Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the
provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party
in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred therein by the successful
party.

and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon such declaration.
18.2
Effect of Failure to Provide Estoppel Certificate. Tenant's failure to furnish
any Estoppel Certificate within fifteen (15) days after request therefor shall
be deemed a default hereunder and moreover, it shall be conclusively presumed
that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification in
accordance with the terms set forth in the request; (b) that there are no
unusual breaches or defaults on the part of the Landlord; and (c) no more than
one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance.

building codes.

become a partner or joint venturer of Tenant in the conduct of its business or

casualty, inability to obtain any material or service not related to Landlord's
negligence, or acts of God.

unless such waiver be in writing signed by the waiving party.

Notice. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is
required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by
United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and shall be

shall not be deemed relevant in resolving questions of construction or

as the Tenant, their liability hereunder shall be joint and several. If there is
more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and
effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use of the neuter singular pronoun
to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though

by such provisions.
20.11
Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, the Business

agreement between the parties. All Exhibits, Riders, the Business Agreement,
and/or Addenda mentioned in this Lease are incorporated herein by reference. Any
Guaranty attached hereto is an integral part of this Lease and constitutes
consideration given to Landlord to enter in this Lease. Any prior conversations
or writings are merged herein and extinguished. No subsequent amendment to this
Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and
signed. Submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute an option
for the Leased Premises and becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and
delivery thereof by Landlord to Tenant. If any provision contained in Rider or
Addenda is inconsistent with a provision in the body of this Lease, the
provision contained in said Rider or Addenda shall control. It is hereby agreed
that this Lease contains no restrictive covenants or exclusives in favor of
Tenant. The captions and Section numbers appearing herein are inserted only as a
matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit, construe, or
describe the scope or intent of any Section or Paragraph.

the laws of the State of Utah.
20.13

corporation) has the right to lease the property and the Leased Premises, and
that Tenant shall have peaceful and quiet use and possession of the Leased
Premises without hindrance on the part of Landlord, and that Landlord shall

XXI. COMMON
AREA
21.1 Definition
of Common Areas. "Common Areas" means all areas, space, equipment and
special services provided for the joint or common use and benefit of the tenants
or occupants of the Building and Property or portions thereof, and their
employees, agents, servants, patients, customers, and other invitees
(collectively referred to herein as "Occupants") including without limitation,
parking, access roads, driveways, retaining walls, landscaped areas,
serviceways, loading docks, pedestrian walks; courts, stairs, ramps, and
sidewalks; common corridors, rooms and restrooms; air-conditioning, fan,

occupied).
21.2
|
License
to Use Common Areas. The Common Areas shall be available for
the common use of all Occupants and shall be used and occupied under a
revocable license. If any such license shall be revoked, or if
the amount of such areas shall be changed or diminished, Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any
compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or
diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual
eviction. All Common Areas shall be subject to the exclusive
control and management of Landlord. Landlord shall have the
right to construct, maintain, and operate lighting and other facilities on
all said areas and improvements; to police the same; to change the area,
level, location, and arrangement of parking areas and other facilities; to
restrict parking by tenants, their officers, agents, and employees; to
close all or any portion of said areas or facilities to such extent as may
be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of
any right to any person or the public therein; and to close temporarily
all or any portion of the parking areas or facilities to discourage
non-occupant parking. Landlord shall operate and maintain the
Common Areas in such manner as Landlord in its discretion shall determine,
shall have full right and authority to employ and discharge all personnel
with respect thereto, and shall have the right, through reasonable rules,
regulations, and/or restrictive covenants promulgated by it from time to

shall be parked only within parking areas not otherwise reserved by
Landlord. Landlord or its agents shall, without any liability to Tenant or
its Occupants, have the right to cause to be removed any automobile that
may be wrongfully parked in a prohibited or reserved parking
area. Tenant shall from time to time, upon request of Landlord,
supply Landlord with a list of license plate numbers of all automobiles
owned by Tenant or its day-to-day Occupants. Tenant shall have
the right to designate at least 20 spaces as Iomega Reserved, and Tenant
shall at all times have the right to at least 57.7% of the parking at the
Building, hence 218 spaces.

This
Rider is attached and made part of the Lease between XXXXX IOMEGA II, A UTAH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, BY
ITS MANAGING PARTNER THE XXXXX COMPANY, L. C., (the "Landlord"), and
IOMEGA CORPORATION dated
January 1, 2008.1.Early Termination Option:
Tenant
shall have the right to terminate for any reason with nine months written notice
the space located on the second floor comprising 5,032 rentable square feet or
shall also have the right to terminate the premises in its entirety, both on the
first floor and second floor (51,924 sq. ft.). In no event shall such
termination date be effective prior to the thirty-six month. Upon
exercising the option, tenant shall reimburse Landlord any unamortized
improvement allowance actually spent and used by Iomega for the space being
terminated (based on a 6 year straight-line amortization schedule), and the
reduction in rent concession -- which totals $121,500 (calculated as the
difference between Iomega's current rent of $12.35 NNN and the $11.00 NNN as per
the former Lease based on 90,000 sq. ft.), or 9.69% of that sum in the event of
a termination by Iomega just of the 5032 feet on the second floor (hence,
$11,774).
2. Article
XXI Signs, Awnings and Canopies:
Nothwithstanding
anything contained to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted to place signage
on the exterior of the building. In addition, Iomega shall be the
only party permitted to place signage on the crown of the Building facing 1900
West. Iomega’s signage must be approved by Landlord and must comply
with all local laws and building codes. The cost of designing,
manufacturing, installing and maintaining the signage shall be at the sole cost
to Tenant. In no event will any other tenant receive more prominent
signage in connection with the building than Iomega. In the event
that a second tenant leases 30,000 square feet or greater within the building,
such tenant may receive Crown signage along with Iomega but not on the side of
the building facing 1900 West. Crown signage shall be limited to
tenants leasing 30,000 square feet or greater within the building.
3. Article
IV Additional Rent:
The scope
of management services is defined below and reflects a 3% management fee charged
by Landlord to administer such service. The management fee is defined
in Article 4.1(b). Any additional services, not identified in the
scope of management services, requested by Tenant, shall be subject to a
discussion between Iomega and Landlord about whether such services properly
warrant an increased management fee. In no event shall the management
fee exceed 4%.
4. Advanced
Notice:
Regardless
of anything contained to the contrary, Landlord agrees in advance that neither
an acquisition of Iomega by EMC Corp., nor the closing by Iomega of its purchase
of ExcelStor and distribution of stock to Great Wall as announced on December
12, 2007, will cause any end to or termination of Iomega's rights under this
lease.

Exhibit C-1). Landlord and Tenant agree that this sum for vestibules
and other first floor accommodations for additional tenants shall not be spent
unless and until a second tenant actually signs a lease for space at the
Building. Hence, Landlord shall set aside a sum (not to exceed
$27,500) from the allowance of $233,655, which shall not be spent until a second
tenant at the Building signs a lease (the “Retained Allowance”). If
no such second tenant signs a lease before the termination of this January 1,
2008 lease agreement, then within 30 days of termination of this lease, Landlord
shall remit the Retained Allowance to Tenant.
The
Allowance can also be used for any other reasonably necessary improvements such
as repairing mill-work, bathroom tile, and or parking lot
resurfacing. Landlord shall be responsible for managing the
construction of such improvements, after plans have been approved by both
Landlord and Tenant. Any costs exceeding the allowance of $233,655
shall be the sole cost to Tenant. Tenant shall work with Landlord in
the selection of building standard paint and carpet.
It is
expressly understood that in the future, if the second floor is demised to
accommodate multi-tenants that the cost of such work shall be the sole cost and
responsibility of Landlord.
