Area |
Usable Sq. Ft. (USF) | Rentable Sq. Ft. (RSF) | ||||||
1st Floor (space taken in 3rd Amendment to Lease) |
8,926 | 9,739 | ||||||

|
|||||
Total for Revised Premises |
51,476 | 58,313 |
Exhibit “A” attached hereto shows the boundaries and square footages of each area of the Revised Premises. Landlord’s architect has also determined that the correct rentable square footage (RSF) of the entire Building is 109,244 square feet. Landlord and Tenant agree to be bound by these corrected square footage numbers and to use them going forward in the calculation of Base Rents, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes, and Tenant Improvement Allowances. Landlord and Tenant agree to waive any right of collection against Tenant or Landlord for any differences in square footage, operating expenses or operating expense reconciliations, Tenant Improvement Allowances or any other monetary considerations for these discrepancies which occurred prior to the Expansion Date. The sole remedy for the miscalculations shall be to correct the mistakes from the date of Expansion for either party.
4. Expansion of Premises. On the Expansion Date, Landlord agrees to deliver and lease the Expansion Area to Tenant and Tenant agrees to accept and lease the Expansion Area from Landlord. Thereafter, the Premises governed by the Lease will be the Revised Premises, including, for all purposes, the Initial Premises and the Expansion Area, which totals 58,313 Rentable Square Feet.

5. Lease Term for Expansion Area Coterminous With Initial Premises. The Termination Date for the lease of the Expansion Area will be April 30, 2019, which is the same as the Termination Date for the Initial Premises.
6. Base Rent.
A. Base Rent for Initial Premises. Tenant will continue to pay Base Rent on the Initial Premises at the rate described in the Lease, but using the corrected rentable square footages shown in Section 3.
B. Base Rent for Expansion Area A. The Base Rent rate for Expansion Area A will be the same as for the Initial Premises with the same 3% annual increases.
C. Base Rent for Expansion Area B. Base Rent for Expansion Area B will be, initially, $15.85 per Rentable Square Foot. Base Rent for Expansion Area B will increase by 3% annually, beginning December 1, 2014 and on each December 1 thereafter.
D. Free Rent Period. During the first three (3) months after the Expansion Date, no Base Rent will be charged on any of the Expansion Area. During the next two (2) months, Base Rent will be charged on Expansion Area B, but no Base Rent will be charged on Expansion Area A. Beginning five (5) months after the Expansion Date, Base Rent will be charged on all of the Expansion Area. The five (5) month period during which Base Rent is not charged on all or part of the Expansion Area as described above is sometimes referred to herein as the “Free Rent Period.” Although Base Rent will not be charged on some or all of the Expansion Area during the Free Rent Period, Tenant will pay its Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for the entire Expansion Area during the Free Rent Period. If the Expansion Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for any month in which a free rent concession ends will be prorated according to the number of days in the month.
E. Base Rent Charts. Based on the foregoing, the following charts show the Base Rent to be paid by Tenant from November 1, 2013 through the end of the Term for Expansion Areas A and B and for the Initial Premises.

6
as Exhibit “B” and shall be performed at Tenant’s expense, except that Landlord agrees to provide an Allowance to Tenant in an amount up to a maximum of $127,402.50 (calculated for reference purposes only as $10.00 x 3,369 Usable Square Feet in Expansion Area A, plus $17.50 x 5,355 Usable Square Feet in Expansion Area B), as more fully described in Exhibit “B”. The Allowance shall be used only for the Landlord Work to be performed in the Premises as described in the Work Letter. Tenant shall not receive any cash payment, credit or offset for any portion of the Allowance not used for the Landlord Work.
9. Parking. From and after the Expansion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to the use of 290 parking stalls, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease governing parking.
10. Commissions. Landlord will pay any commission due to Coldwell Banker Intermountain which will in turn pay Cresa of Salt Lake City a commission equal to three percent (3%) of the gross full service equivalent rental value of the Expansion Area (collectively, the “Known Brokers”) in connection with this transaction. The parties acknowledge that they have not used any real estate brokers or finders with respect to this Amendment other than the Known Brokers. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the warranting party knows of no real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to compensation in connection with this Amendment other than Known Brokers. Each party, as indemnifying party, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all liabilities or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of any claim for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, or similar compensation by any person other than Known Brokers, which claim is based on any alleged act or agreement of the indemnifying party.
11. Confidentiality. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Amendment (including without limitation the rental rate and concessions granted to Tenant herein) and the Lease are to remain confidential, and may not be disclosed to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the Lease to its auditors, accountants, attorneys, brokers or its affiliate(s), as reasonably required in the conduct of such party’s affairs, or as required by legal process. The consent by a party to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of such party of any prohibition against any future disclosure.
12. Repayment of Rent Concession. Tenant acknowledges that its right to occupy the Expansion Area without paying Base Rent during the Free Rent Period is absolutely conditioned upon Tenant’s full, faithful and punctual performance of its obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby, including the payment of all rent. If Tenant defaults in its obligations under the Lease and does not cure such default after any required notice and within any applicable grace period, the Specified Percentage of the Base Rent for the Free Rent Period for the Expansion Area shall immediately become due and payable in full, at the applicable per square foot rate described in Section 6 of this Amendment. As used herein, the “Specified Percentage” shall mean the percentage equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Term as of the date of the default and the denominator of which is the number of months remaining in the Term at the end of the Free Rent Period.

EXHIBIT “B”
WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Fifth Amendment to Lease by and between TP BUILDING I, LLC, a Utah Limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HEALTHEQUITY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000.
As used in this Work Letter, the term “Premises” shall be deemed to mean the Expansion Area, as defined in the Amendment to which this Exhibit is attached.
1. | This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Expansion Area for Tenant’s use. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and upon the Premises by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord Work.” It is agreed that construction of the Landlord Work will be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except as provided herein and subject to the Allowance (as defined below). Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord, subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, Landlord shall select any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work, subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The construction contract for the Landlord Work (the “Construction Contract”) shall be subject to Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
The Landlord Work shall include the work in the approved “Plans” (defined below), including the following:
Replace carpeting in elevator lobby and common area hallways with the same carpet as currently installed in Tenant’s IT area.
Make ceiling grid consistent throughout all Expansion Areas (tie both Expansion Area A and Expansion Area B together with no headers.
Make light fixtures consistent with 18 cell parabolic fixtures throughout (the Expansion Area has some indirect lighting currently installed)
Recarpet the entire Expansion Area and a portion of the existing HealthEquity IT Department space with the Tenant’s carpet spec (find a natural break point).
Make all doors consistent with the balance of HealthEquity’s 3rd floor space.
Repaint throughout the Expansion Area, assume one field color and two accent colors with one accent wall in each office.
Install all IT/telecom/cable TV per Tenant’s specs (but not including actual TV’s, which will be provided by Tenant).
Exhibit B – Page 1
Install dedicated electrical circuits for any multifunction devices as shown on drawings.
Install in-floor electrical and data outlets in the conference rooms as shown on the drawings.
Sidelights as shown on the office and conference room doors.
Install locks on all office doors.
Install all plumbing and cabinetry/counters as shown on the drawings for the room labeled “breakroom”.
Install VCT in breakroom.
Install stain grade buffet on both sides of the conference room walls with granite top similar to those installed in the 1st floor conference room.
2. | Landlord’s architect shall be responsible for the timely preparation and submission of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “Plans”) necessary to construct the Landlord Work. Landlord’s architect shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment). Landlord’s architect will prepare the Plans necessary for such construction at Tenant’s cost, which cost shall be paid out of the Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will provide free space planning services for the Expansion Area through EA Architecture (the cost of which free space planning services will not count against the Allowance). Landlord’s architect shall complete the plans within fourteen (14) business days following the full execution of this Amendment. Tenant shall have three (3) business days to review the plans and make any changes. Landlord’s architect shall have four (4) business days to make the requested changes and resubmit same to Tenant. Tenant shall have two (2) business days to approve the final plans. Time is of the essence in respect of preparation and submission of Plans by Tenant and Landlord. If the Plans are not approved by Tenant within the time frames outlined herein Tenant shall be responsible for one day of Tenant Delay (as defined in the Lease) for each day of delay. If the Plans are not prepared or approved by Landlord or Landlord’s architect within the time frames outlined herein Landlord shall be responsible for one day of Landlord Delay for each day of delay. |
3. | If Landlord’s estimate of the cost of the Landlord Work shall exceed the Allowance, Landlord, prior to commencing any construction of Landlord Work, shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost of the Landlord Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, contractor’s fees and permit fees. |
Exhibit B – Page 2
Within three (3) Business Days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord Work. If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate. The Construction Contract shall include a price not to exceed the estimate approved by Landlord and Tenant. |
4. | If the cost of construction as shown in the Construction Contract (with the approval of Tenant) shall exceed the Allowance (such amount exceeding the Allowance being herein referred to as the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein, subject to the fixed or maximum price in the Construction Contract. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes both a Tenant Delay and an event of default under the Lease. |
5. | If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Plans after approval as outlined in Paragraph 2 above, Landlord shall have such revisions to the drawings prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice, or deduct said cost from the remaining Allowance if any. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion. Tenant, within two (2) business days, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such change, addition or deletion. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested change, addition or alteration, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Premises until it receives notice of Tenant’s decision, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Premises resulting therefrom. If such revisions result in a higher estimate of the cost of construction and/or higher actual construction costs which exceed the Allowance, such increased estimate or costs shall be deemed Excess Costs pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s statement. |
6. | Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause the Landlord Work to be Substantially Completed in accordance with the approved Plans within One Hundred (100) days after the later of: (a) the date the Amendment to which this Work Letter is attached as an Exhibit is executed by Tenant and an executed original is forwarded to Landlord, or (b) the date Tenant approves the final plans for the Landlord Work as described in paragraph 2 above. |
7. | Landlord, provided Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period, agrees to provide Tenant with an allowance (the “Allowance”) in an amount equivalent to $127,402.50. The Allowance will be applied only toward the cost of the Landlord |
Exhibit B – Page 3
Work in the Premises. If the Allowance shall not be sufficient to complete the Landlord Work, Tenant shall pay the Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, as prescribed in Paragraph 4 above. Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Allowance a construction management fee for Landlord’s oversight of the Landlord Work in an amount equal to 5% of the total cost of the Landlord Work. |
8. | Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless against all claims and liabilities made by any party in connection with the performance of the Landlord Work, except to the extent such claims or liabilities arise from negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against all claims and liabilities made by any party as a result of activities of Tenant or its agents or contractors on or about the Premises, except to the extent such claims arise from negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Landlord. |
9. | This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any later time (after completion of Landlord’s Work in connection with the Amendment to which this Exhibit is attached) or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease. |
