In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree that, upon the purchase of real property which the Existing Lease relates to, the Existing Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
I. LEASED PREMISES
1.1 Description of Leased Premises. Landlord does hereby demise, lease and let unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby take and receive from Landlord the following:
(a) The floor area containing approximately 81,326 rentable square feet (the “Leased Premises”) in an office building containing approximately
1
109,244 rentable square feet (the “Building”), located in Draper, Utah, on the real property more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Property”). The Leased Premises is depicted on the floor plan shown on Exhibit “B” which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
(b) A non‑exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use the Common Areas (as defined in Section 20.1 below);
(c) A non-exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use such rights‑of‑way, easements and similar rights with respect to the Building and Property as may be reasonably necessary for access to and egress from the Leased Premises; and
(d) A non‑exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use those areas designated and suitable for vehicular parking as set forth in Section 20.3 below.
1.2 Landlord and Tenant’s Construction Obligations.
(a) Tenant is currently in possession of the Leased Premises and accepts the Leased Premises in its “as-is,” “where-is” and “with all faults” condition. Except for providing the Tenant Improvement Allowance and construction obligations of Landlord pursuant to Section 1.2 (b), Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or pay for any improvements in the Leased Premises. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with Exhibit “C.”
(b) As of the date hereof, the Property does not contain parking which permits Tenant to have a parking ratio of six (6) stalls per 1,000 rentable square feet in the Leased Premises. On or before October 1, 2015, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, construct 161 additional parking stalls on the Property (the “Additional Parking”). Landlord may provide up to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of stalls on the property as compact parking (8.5’ wide by 16’ long).
(c) Changes to Building. Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time and from time to time to make changes or alterations to the Building or to the Property provided such changes or alterations do not materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to conduct business or materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder. Tenant shall not, in such event, claim or be allowed any damages for injury, eviction (constructive or actual) or inconvenience occasioned thereby and shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or receive an abatement of any amounts payable under this Lease, provided, however, that in the event such changes or alterations materially adversely interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Leased Premises for a period of at least three (3) consecutive business days, Basic Annual Rent shall be thereafter be abated during the
2
period of such interference. In connection with any of the foregoing activities of Landlord, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts while conducting such activities to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
1.4 Intentionally Deleted.
1.5 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Proposal to Lease. Subject to the rights of existing tenants in the Building, if Landlord receives a bona fide offer to lease any space in the Building (the “ROFR Space”) during the term of this Lease as extended, or negotiates a bona fide lease of ROFR Space (other than a Lease for which Tenant has not elected to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease) during the term of this Lease as extended with a third party, and so long as (i) no default exists under this Lease, and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall provide a copy of such written offer or lease to Tenant (the “Written Notice of Lease”).
(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant shall have the right (the “Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease”) for a period of ten (10) business days from and after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease to elect to lease the entire ROFR Space on the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease; provided, however, at Tenant’s election, during the first five (5) years of the term of this Lease following the Commencement Date, the term of the lease for the ROFR Space may be adjusted to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, provided, further, if Tenant elects to have term of the lease for the ROFR Space to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, all concessions and tenant improvement allowances set forth in the Written Notice of Lease shall be proportionately adjusted based on number of months Tenant is leasing the ROFR Space compared to the number of months the ROFR Space was offered for its initial term pursuant to the Written Notice of Lease. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, enter into an amendment to this Lease, incorporating the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease with respect to the ROFR Space (and such other terms as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant), while maintaining the original terms of the Lease with respect to the Leased Premises. Failure of Tenant to so elect to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease within such ten (10) business day period by giving such written notice to Landlord shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant to not exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant’s ROFR shall continue during the term of the Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease shall not apply to any extension options or expansion options which are specified in a Written Notice of Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall continue throughout the Lease Term, as may be extended.
(c) Failure to Exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. In the event Tenant fails to, or is deemed to have failed to, exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall be free thereafter to lease the ROFR Space, within six (6) months after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease, provided, however, that if Landlord does
3
not lease such space within six (6) months of Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease, or if Landlord proposes to lease the ROFR Space on terms materially different than those contained in the Written Notice of Lease, Landlord shall be required to again offer the ROFR Space to Tenant prior to leasing the ROFR Space to the originally named party on the Written Notice of Lease.
(d) Limitations on Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage encumbering the Property.
(e) Non Assignable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except for a Related Entity, the rights under this Section 1.5 may not be exercised by any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant.
1.6 Contingency Acquisition. Landlord does not currently own the Property. Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are contingent upon Landlord acquiring the Property. In the event Landlord does not acquire the Property on or before July 31, 2015, either party may at any time thereafter, and until such time as Landlord has acquired the Property, elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the other party.
II. TERM
2.1 Length of Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of 129 full calendar months plus the partial calendar month, if any, occurring after the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) if the Commencement Date occurs other than on the first day of a calendar month.
2.2 Commencement Date. The term of this Lease shall commence on the first day of the month occurring immediately after Landlord acquires the Property (the “Commencement Date”).
2.3 Rent Commencement Date. Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent for the Leased Premises, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, shall commence upon the Commencement Date.
2.4 Construction of Leased Premises. Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) to pay for Tenant Improvements in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit “C”.
2.5 Automatic Extension of Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 or anything set forth in the Lease Summary to the contrary, upon the occurrence of the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined in the Adjacent Lease), the term of this Lease shall automatically be extended to the date which is 129 full calendar months plus the partial calendar month, if any, occurring after the First
4
Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) if the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date occurs other than on the first day of a calendar month.
Within thirty (30) days after the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, if any, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an amendment to this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”.
2.6 Extension of Lease. So long as Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period, under any term or covenant of this Lease at the time Tenant delivers an Exercise Notice (as defined below) or as of the first day of the Extension Period, Tenant is hereby granted the right (each such right, an “Extension Option”) to renew the term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each such period, an “Extension Period”). An Extension Option may be exercised as to the entire Leased Premises then leased by Tenant, or Tenant may elect on a one-time basis to surrender one full floor of the Leased Premises and exercise the applicable Extension Option with respect to only the remaining portion of the Leased Premises. Any portion of the Leased Premises for which Tenant is not exercising an Extension Option (the “Surrendered Premises”) (a) shall be surrendered to Landlord at the end of the then applicable term of this Lease (and prior to the Extension Period) in the conditioned required by this Lease, and (b) must be a single full floor of the Building. Tenant may elect to exercise an Extension Option by delivering written notice to Landlord (the “Exercise Notice”) indicating that Tenant elects to exercise such Extension Option, which notice must be delivered to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior the expiration of the then applicable term of this Lease and which Exercise Notice must specify the location of the Surrendered Premises, if applicable. In the event Tenant elects to exercise an Extension Option in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, all terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall continue to apply during the Extension Period, except that Basic Annual Rent applicable to the first year of such Extension Period shall be equal to the lesser of (i) Basic Annual Rent as of the end of the prior term increased by two and one-half of one percent (2.5%) or (ii) the FMRR (as defined in Exhibit “G”).
III. BASIC ANNUAL RENTAL PAYMENTS
3.1 Basic Annual Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as basic annual rent for the Leased Premises at such place as Landlord may designate, without prior demand therefore and without any deduction or set off whatsoever, except as expressly permitted herein, the sum of nineteen and 65/100 dollars ($19.65) per rentable square foot per year for the Leased Premises. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder are referred to herein as “Basic Annual Rent.” The Basic Annual Rent 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.

3.2 Rent Abatement.

Upon completion of the Additional Parking, Tenant shall pay all Basic Annual Rent as required by Section 3.1 above without deduction as provided in this Section 3.2(a).
(b) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Basic Annual Rent with respect to the Leased Premises in an amount equal to five (5) full months of Basic Annual Rent which shall be applied to the first full month following the Commencement Date and for each full month after first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date, except that, provided Landlord has completed the Additional Parking, Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement of a portion of the Basic Annual Rent in the amount equal to sixty-five cents ($0.65) per rentable square feet of the Leased Premises (as increased by Escalations), which amount shall otherwise be paid as required by Section 3.1 above.
3.3 Additional Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall also pay as rent (in addition to the Basic 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 in the case of a default in the payment of one or more installments of Basic Annual Rent.

Tenant’s proportionate share as of the date hereof is 74.44%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building does not have ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy during an entire calendar year, then the variable cost component of “Common Area Expenses” shall be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Common Area Expenses equals the total amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and any other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Common Area Expenses incurred by Landlord.
4.2 Payment of Additional Rent. Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:
12
(a) Prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the beginning of each calendar year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the Estimated Costs for such calendar year. If Landlord fails to deliver such statement prior to January 1 of the applicable year, until the delivery of such statement, Tenant’s Estimated Costs shall be deemed to be the same amount of the Estimated Costs for the prior year; provided, however, if Landlord subsequently furnishes to Tenant a statement of such Estimated Costs, to the extent such Estimated Costs are greater than or less than the Estimated Costs paid on a year to date basis, Tenant shall either receive a credit or make a payment, in the amount of such difference on the next date on which Tenant makes a rental payment hereunder.
(b) Concurrent with each monthly payment of Basic Annual Rent due pursuant to Section 3.1 above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without offset or deduction, one‑twelfth (l/12th) of the Estimated Costs, plus all other amounts due and owing by Tenant under this Lease which are not included as part of Estimated Costs (e.g., late payment charges).
4.3 Report of Common Area Expenses and Statement of Estimated Costs . Within one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year occurring during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written reconciliation statement (the “Landlord’s Statement”) comparing the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses payable during the previous calendar year against the amounts actually paid by Tenant during the previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.2 above. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, Landlord, at its election, shall either (a) promptly pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (b) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year is less than the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, paid by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such reconciliation statement.
4.4 Audit Rights. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within 120 days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof. During the period of 120 days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement, Tenant’s advisor (which must be a real estate professional who is in the business of reviewing reconciliation statements on behalf of third party tenants) or certified public accountant which, in either case, is not compensated on a contingency basis may, for the purpose of verifying the Common Area Expenses, inspect the records of the material reflected in Landlord’s Statement, including such materials and statements for previous years, as
13
applicable, at a reasonable time mutually-agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Such material shall include but not be limited to the general ledger of the Common Area Expenses on a line item basis. The audit shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the commencement of such audit and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the results of such audit within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such audit. The parties recognize the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and hence agree that before Landlord shall afford Tenant’s advisor or its certified public accountant reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records, including the copying of said material in order to complete a thorough analysis of the expenses, Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall agree, as a condition precedent to their review of such books and records, not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Failure of Tenant to challenge any item in Landlord’s Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Statement shall be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to challenge such item for such year and such determination shall be conclusive for both Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant’s audit of Landlord’s Statement discloses discrepancies, Tenant shall disclose the results of such audit to Landlord. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days to review Tenant’s audit reports and determine if Landlord disputes such reports. If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit reports, Landlord shall give written notice of such disputes within such thirty (30) day period. Landlord and Tenant shall work in good faith to resolve any disagreements resulting from Tenant’s audit. If Landlord and Tenant cannot resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s dispute, either party may refer the decision of the issues raised, if any, to a reputable, nationally-recognized independent firm of certified public accountants (or other organization whose core competency is deemed to be within this specialty area) selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. The selected firm shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall afford such accountants/specialists reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records to the extent such accountants/specialists deem necessary in order to reach their decision. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants/specialists shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties shall agree not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such certified public accountant/specialists shall determine that Landlord’s Statement for the subject year or any previous years, if applicable, has overcharged Tenant for Common Area Expenses (and such determination is not successfully challenged by Landlord), then Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant the amount of the overcharge. If such audit
14
shall determine that Landlord has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, in addition, reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, expert review. If such audit and, if applicable, expert review, shall determine that (1) Landlord has not overstated actual Common Area Expenses, or (2) has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by less than five percent (5%) then, Tenant shall pay the costs of such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, the expert review.
4.5 Limitations. Nothing contained in this Part IV shall be construed at any time so as to reduce the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent payable hereunder below the amount set forth in Section 3.1 of this Lease.

If Tenant has performed all such terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, such sum shall be returned to Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease and delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord. Prior to the time that Tenant is entitled to any return of the security deposit, Landlord may intermingle such deposit with its own funds and use such sum for such purposes as Landlord may determine.

5.2 Application of Security Deposit. In the event of default by Tenant in respect to any of its obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any part of the security deposit for the satisfaction of any unpaid Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent. Landlord may apply the security deposit to any expenses incurred by reason of the default of Tenant, including any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Leased Premises, regardless of whether the accrual of such damages or deficiency occurs before or after an eviction or a portion of the security deposit is so used or applied. Tenant shall, upon five (5) days written demand, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return to Tenant any portion of the security deposit which Landlord has not applied, or is not entitled to apply, to the obligations of Tenant as permitted by this Lease.

Until such repair is complete, the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable. If the Leased Premise are unable to be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of casualty, Landlord or Tenant may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation to the other party within ninety (90) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord.

31
to complete such repairs. Tenant’s liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the date of casualty. 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 as required herein. 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 or Tenant as provided herein, 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.
XIII. CONDEMNATION
13.1 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 Condemnation Proceeding.
13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and such partial taking shall render the remaining portion unsuitable for Tenant’s business, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as aforesaid. If the Leased Premises remain suitable for Tenant’s business following such partial taking, then this Lease shall continue in effect except that the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent including any charges for parking shall be reduced in the same proportion that the portion of the Leased Premises or Common Areas taken bears to the total area initially demised. Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award, 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 from the Condemnation Proceeding, less any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in the collection of the award, which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgage lenders for the value of the diminished fee.
13.3 Landlord’s Option to Terminate. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the Building shall be taken as aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. If a portion of the Property or Common Areas is taken such that Tenant cannot, access the Leased Premises, or Landlord cannot provide parking stalls as required by this Lease for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days and Landlord has failed to provide reasonable alternative parking, Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant is given written notice of such taking by Landlord. 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.
32
13.4 Award. Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim to any condemnation award for any taking, whether whole or partial and whether for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee. Tenant shall have the right to claim from the condemning party, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damages to Tenant’s business and fixtures to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award.
13.5 Definition of Condemnation Proceeding . As used in this Lease 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.
XIV. LANDLORD’S RIGHTS TO CURE
14.1 General Right . In the event of Landlord’s breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder, 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 XV hereof, concurrently with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, by certified mail, return receipt requested, 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), 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.
14.2 Mechanic’s Liens. 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 thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expenses, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging shall
33
be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.3 hereof. Tenant shall cause any person or entity directly or indirectly supplying work or materials to Tenant to acknowledge and agree, and Landlord hereby notifies any such contractor, that: (a) no agency relationship, whether express or implied, exists between Landlord and any contractor retained by Tenant; (b) all construction contracted for by Tenant is being done for the exclusive benefit of Tenant; and (c) Landlord neither has required nor obligated Tenant to make the improvements done by the contractor.
XV. FINANCING; SUBORDINATION
15.1 Subordination. This Lease is and shall continue to be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest now existing or hereafter placed on Landlord’s interest in the Property by a mortgage lender (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, including any refinancing thereof, a “Mortgage”); provided, however, such subordination is subject to the condition upon Landlord delivering an SNDA to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant concurrently with the execution of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, a Subordination, Non Disturbance, and Attornment Agreements (“SNDA”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” together with modifications reasonably requested by Landlord’s lenders (the “Lenders”). Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its interest in the Lease to future Lenders shall be conditioned upon receiving a similar SNDA. If requested by a holder of the Mortgage, Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute and deliver an SNDA. If elected by the holder of a Mortgage, this Lease shall be superior to such Mortgage, in which case Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming the same. 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 15.1 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.
15.2 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 substantially or adversely affect Tenant’s rights or economic interests hereunder, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the commercially reasonable needs or requirements of any lender which is considering making or which has made a loan secured by a Mortgage affecting the Leased Premises.
15.3 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. Upon assumption by
34
the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such assumption, 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 .
15.4 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Tenant’s audited financial statements for the Tenant’s most recently completed fiscal year and a year to date balance sheet and income statement, to verify the financial condition of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants from time to time during the term of the Lease; provided, however, so long as Tenant is a publically traded company, Tenant’s obligations under this Section 15.4 shall be deemed satisfied so long as Tenant has made such statement available as required by applicable laws. Tenant shall not be required to provide such information more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that such information, taken as a whole, will not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. If required by Landlord’s lender or a potential purchaser, Tenant shall cause such financial statements to be certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, solely in his or her capacity as chief financial officer, that such financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor do any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
16.1 Default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the remedies set forth in Section 16.2:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder within five (5) days after such Rent is due after written notice from Landlord of such failure; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to provide a written notice of such monetary default more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.
(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 that such performance is due shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or; provided, if cure of any nonmonetary default would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the thirty (30) day period or, after timely commencing, fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days.
(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
35
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 a voluntary arrangement under applicable bankruptcy law; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of execution.
16.2 Remedies. Subject to applicable Utah law, in the event of any default by Tenant hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, 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, reenter and take possession of the Leased 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 cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, all costs of reletting, and all other actual and reasonable costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any reentry, 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 Leased Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.
16.3 Past Due Sums. If Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days from written notice from Landlord, any Basic Annual Rent, 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 rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amounts of Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum to be paid by it hereunder 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.
16.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in default of the performance of its obligations under this Lease if Landlord defaults in the performance or observation of any agreement, liability, or obligation imposed on it by this Lease and Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion (a “Landlord’s Default”). Upon the occurrence of a Landlord’s Default under this Lease, Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand, and without limiting its right to receive any late delivery payments in connection with Landlord’s delivery of the Leased Premises as specified above, may: (a) pursue the remedy of specific performance or injunction; (b) seek declaratory relief; (c) pursue an action for actual and direct damages for loss; and (d) unless such Landlord’s Default results from Landlord’s failure to perform any construction obligations hereunder, but including without limitation repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord, take
36
reasonable measures to cure such Landlord’s Default to the extent relating to the repair or maintenance of the Leased Premises on Landlord’s account, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs or contractual liability incurred by Tenant in connection with such cure (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of a written demand, statement or invoice, including reasonable back-up documentation; provided that Tenant shall have the right to withhold from its payments of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent any such amounts that remain unreimbursed by Landlord beyond such thirty (30) day period until all such amounts have been fully reimbursed, and any such amounts not paid to Tenant when due shall accrue interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
XVII. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE
17.1 Surrender of Leased Premises . At the expiration of this Lease, except for changes made by Tenant that were approved by Landlord and the initial Tenant Improvements, 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.
17.2 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any renewal term with the prior written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month except that Basic Annual Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 125% of the then Basic Annual Rent plus, and in addition to the Basic Annual Rent, all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and on the terms herein specified so far as possible. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant, and agreement contained in this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section 17.2 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice of a termination of a month-to-month holdover and Tenant continues to holdover thereafter, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
XVIII. ATTORNEYS’ FEES

Landlord’s mortgage lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon such declaration.
19.2 Effect of Failure to Provide Estoppel Certificate. Tenant’s failure to furnish any estoppel certificate as required pursuant to Section 19.1 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 Landlord; and (c) no more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance.

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, provided, however, that such changes or dimishment of the Common Areas shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

38
maintain, and operate lighting and other facilities on all said areas and improvements; (b) to police the same; (c) to change the area, level, location, and arrangement of parking areas and other facilities, provided, Landlord shall not make changes to the parking areas which decreases the stalls below those required under this Lease without Tenant’s prior written approval; (d) 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 (e) 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 reasonable 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 time, to control the use and operation of the Common Areas in order that the same may occur in a proper and orderly fashion, provided that such rules, regulations and restrictive covenants shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
20.3 Parking. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(b), Landlord shall provide an allocation of six (6) parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of the Leased Premises leased by Tenant in the parking area immediately adjacent to the Building as approximately shown on the preliminary site plan attached Exhibit “A-1”. In the event the Leased Premises is contracted during the Term, Tenant’s allocation of parking shall be adjusted in accordance with the aforementioned ratio Tenant may utilize any stalls provided by Landlord as visitor stalls for parking of Tenant’s visitors. If requested by Tenant, food trucks serving Tenant’s occupants may be parked on the Property in areas reasonably designated by Landlord, provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for any repairs or maintenance required as a result of such food trucks entry onto the Property, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its affiliates against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, orders, judgments, and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), resulting from or incurred by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord on account of such food truck’s entry onto and use of the Property.
XXI. SIGNS, AWNINGS, AND CANOPIES
Tenant shall have the right to non-exclusive signage on the building which is in place as of the date hereof. Landlord shall not grant any other tenant crown building signage unless said tenant occupies at a minimum of 15,000 square feet of Building.

39
written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant further agrees to maintain such sign, awning, canopy, decoration, lettering, advertising matter, or other things, as may be approved, in good condition and repair at all times. Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost, and without liability to Tenant, enter the Leased Premises and remove any item erected in violation of this Section. Landlord may establish rules and regulations governing the size, type, and design of all signs, decorations, etc., and Tenant agrees to abide thereby, provided, however, that such rules and regulations shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

fees connected therewith. Landlord agrees to pay Tenant’s Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Tenant’s Broker.
22.9 Tenant Defined; Use of Pronouns. The word “Tenant” shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party executing this document as a Tenant herein. If there is more than one person or organization set forth on the signature line as 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 Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.
22.10 Provisions Binding, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein including, specifically and without limitation, Section 9, all provisions herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their legal representative, heirs, successors, and assigns. Each provision to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition, and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall all be bound, jointly and severally, by such provisions. In the event of any sale or assignment (except for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Building, the Leased Premises or this Lease, Landlord shall, from and after the Commencement Date (irrespective of when such sale or assignment occurs), be entirely relieved of all of its obligations hereunder upon assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such transfer. Nothing set forth herein shall require Landlord to obtain Tenant’s consent to any assignment, transfer or other encumbrance of any of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the Leased Premises, the Improvements or the Common Areas.
22.11 Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. 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 the 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
42
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.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude or prevent Landlord from bringing any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease in any other appropriate place or forum.
22.13 Recourse by Tenant. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land, Building and Improvements thereto, and subject to prior rights of any mortgagee, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord or any of its partners, shareholders, successors, or assigns shall be subject to levy, execution, or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
22.14 Rules and Regulations. Tenant and the Tenants Related Parties shall faithfully observe and comply with all of the rules and regulations set forth on the attached Exhibit “F”, and Landlord may from time to time reasonably amend, modify or make additions to or deletions from such rules and regulations, provided, such modifications shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Such amendments, modifications, additions and deletions shall be effective on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant. On any breach of any of such rules and regulations, Landlord may exercise any or all of the remedies provided in this Lease on a default by Tenant under this Lease and may, in addition, exercise any remedies available at law or in equity including the right to enjoin any breach of such rules and regulations. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of any other tenant or person to observe any such rules and regulations.
22.15 Tenant’s Representations and Warranties. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord as follows:
(a) Tenant is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its formation and has full power and authority to enter into this Lease, without the consent, joinder or approval of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any mortgagee(s). This Lease has been validly executed and delivered by Tenant and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Tenant, enforceable against Tenant in accordance with its terms.
43
(b) Tenant is not a party to any agreement or litigation which could adversely affect the ability of Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease or which would constitute a default on the part of Tenant under this Lease, or otherwise materially adversely affect Landlord’s rights or entitlements under this Lease.
22.15 No Construction Against Preparer. This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant and their separate advisors believe that this Lease is the product of their joint efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and that it should not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in its preparation.
22.16 Number and Gender. The terms “Landlord” and “Tenant,” wherever used herein, shall be applicable to one or more persons or entities, as the case may be, and the singular shall include the plural and the neuter shall include the masculine and feminine and, if there be more than one person or entity with respect to either party, the obligations hereof of such party shall be joint and several.
22.17 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed and delivered in counterparts for the convenience of the parties, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
22.18 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other, upon any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.
22.19 Merger. If both Landlord’s and Tenant’s estates in the Leased Premises have both become vested in the same owner, this Lease shall nevertheless not be terminated by application of a doctrine of merger unless agreed in writing by Landlord, Tenant and any holder of a Mortgage.
22.20 No Right to Relocate. Landlord shall have no right to relocate Tenant from the Leased Premises or otherwise within the Property during the Term of the Lease (including any extensions or expansions).

WORK LETTER
A TENANT’S CONSTRUCTION OBLIGATION: All elements of work which Tenant requires for Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises shall be provided by Tenant at Tenant’s expense. Such work shall constitute “Tenant’s Construction Obligations” respecting improvements to the Leased Premises
B. TENANT’S PLANS: Prior to performing any of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall prepare plans and specifications (the “Tenant’s Plans”) and shall submit the Tenant’s Plans to Landlord for written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld.) The approval by Landlord of Tenant’s plans for work to be performed on the Leased Premises, whether by Landlord or Tenant, shall in no way create any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency or compliance with any and all laws, rules and regulations of federal, state, county and municipal agencies or authorities. Any objections by Landlord and the reason therefore shall be given to Tenant’s Plans as proposed.
C. CONSTRUCTION BY TENANT: Following commencement of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall promptly commence and thereafter shall diligently pursue to completion all of the matters entering into Tenant’s Construction Obligations and such matters shall be performed or accomplished in accordance with the applicable law, in a good and workmanlike manner, by contractors approved in writing by Landlord.

Any work or change which Tenant desires to accomplish and which is not reflected by Tenant’s Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon completion of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a complete set of “as built” plans and specifications for the items and elements entering into Tenant’s Construction Obligations.
D. ROOF PENETRATIONS: Tenant agrees that neither it nor its contractors or employees will, during the construction of the Leased Premises or at any time during the term of this Lease, make or cause to be made in the roof of the Leased Premises any penetration whatsoever without first obtaining the prior written approval from Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may require Tenant to use Landlord’s designated roofing contractor to perform or supervise any roof cuts or penetrations to which Landlord may agree or give its consent. In the event Tenant fails to observe this condition, Landlord may hire a roofing contractor of its choice to inspect any penetrations in the roofing material over the Leased Premises and to perform any needed modifications or corrections to the roof surface or its components in order to preserve the integrity of the roof structure. Landlord may xxxx Tenant for the expenses of any such roof inspection and/or repairs, plus a 10% overhead fee for such work. Tenant agrees to pay for said inspection and/or repairs immediately upon presentation of said invoice.

E. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE.
(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount equal to $12.00 per useable square foot of the Leased Premises to pay for or reimburse Tenant for the costs and expenses directly and specifically related to the planning, design, construction, and completion of the Tenant Improvements and for all other authorized expenses provided for in this Work Letter and the Lease, including, without limitation, for any Change Orders requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”). From a taxation and accounting standpoint, all of the costs and expenses directly and specifically related to the Tenant Improvements up to the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance paid by Landlord shall be allocated solely to Landlord, and any such costs and expenses in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and paid by Tenant shall be allocated solely to Tenant.
(a) The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon Landlord’s receipt of a written request which shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) all items for which Tenant is seeking payment shall be identified in the request and certified by Tenant as being complete and installed in the Lease Premises; (ii) Tenant’s request shall include invoices reflecting the amount of the request for payment; (iii) Tenant’s reimbursement request shall include lien waivers involved with any general or subcontractors involved with the Tenant’s Construction Obligations, (iv) no default under the Lease by Tenant shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and (v) Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for amounts in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Provided that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for payment, Landlord shall pay Tenant the portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance specified in Tenant’s request for payment. All costs to perform the Tenant Construction Obligations in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
(b) All costs and expenses directly and specifically related to the Tenant Improvements, including, by way of example only, governmental approvals, design fees, contractor fees, construction costs, costs of third-party inspections and testing, project management, temporary power costs, construction security specific to the Leased Premises, and any other costs that are directly attributable and specifically related to the Tenant Improvements, may be included within and applied against the Tenant Improvement Allowance; provided, however, Landlord shall provide an allowance for use as space planning services with Tenant’s architect in an amount not to exceed ten cents ($0.10) per usable square foot of the Leased Premises. Additionally, Landlord agrees to construct, as part of Landlord’s Improvements, but at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, which may be offset against the Tenant Improvement Allowance, a telecommunication conduit between the Building and a building located on property adjacent to the Property.

The FMV of the Leased Premises shall mean the NNN rental that would be agreed to by a landlord and a new tenant, each of whom is willing, but neither of whom is compelled, to enter into the lease transaction. The FMV shall be determined on the basis of the assumptions that the FMV shall be projected to the commencement date of the applicable renewal term. The FMV shall not take into account any existing tenant improvements, but shall take into account the following factors:
i. | Rental for comparable premises in comparable existing and/or newly constructed (as applicable) buildings (taking into consideration, but not limited to, use, location and/or floor level within the applicable building, definition of net gross area, building load factor/efficiency, quality, age, and location of the applicable buildings), or any special uses or rights afforded to the Tenant under the Lease in connection with the Leased Premises; |
ii. | The rentable area of the Leased Premises being leased; |
iii. | The length of the pertinent renewal term; |
iv. | Tenant improvement allowance, rent credit, moving allowance, space planning, or similar inducements; |
v. | The quality of credit worthiness of Tenant; and |
vi. | The extent to which commissions are due or payable by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s exercising its option to renew this Lease. |
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the FMV within 30 days after the date of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew (“Negotiation Period”), either party may elect, by written notice delivered to the other party, to determine the FMV by appraiser opinion of value as follows. The determination of FMV shall be determined by three independent MAI appraisers licensed in the State of Utah and selected one by the Tenant, one by the Landlord and the third appraiser being selected by the two appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant. The appraisers shall have a minimum experience of 10 years in the Salt Lake City office market. The appraisers selected by Tenant and Landlord shall present his/her opinion of FMV within 30 days following the Negotiation Period. In the event the two opinions of FMV are within 5% of each other in overall value than the average value will be used to determine the final terms of the lease renewal. In the event the two opinions differ by more than 5% then the third agent shall review the opinions of value of the other original two appraisers and shall prepare a final opinion of value based on his or her assessment of the market that shall be binding on both parties. The third agent shall not be bound to pick one or the other of the opinions but may determine its opinion unrelated to the other two. The cost of the appraiser panel shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
