As used herein, the term “RA,” when referring to the Premises (defined in the Basic Lease Information) shall mean and refer to the rentable area of the Premises measured in accordance with the Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA”) method of measurement. The term “RA,” when referring to the Building or any other Park Building, shall mean the aggregate total of all RA in the Building in question or in all of the Park Buildings, as applicable. The Landlord reserves the right to re-measure the Premises in accordance with BOMA standards, in which event the Basic Rental will be immediately adjusted to reflect the change in the RA of the Premises.
2.
Lease Grant.
Landlord, in consideration of the rent to be paid and the other covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant and upon the terms hereinafter stated, does hereby lease, demise and let unto Tenant the Premises commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the Term unless sooner terminated as herein provided.
3.
Rent.
(a)
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Adjusted Rental, which is the sum of the monthly Basic Rental, the monthly Excess Operating Expenses and the monthly Excess Taxes (as defined in the Basic Lease Information), as estimated by Landlord from time to time, in monthly installments in advance on the fifth day of each month in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address set forth above (or such other address as Landlord shall designate in writing to Tenant) without notice or demand and without any abatement, deduction or set-off, for each month of the entire Term. One such monthly installment, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease. A like monthly installment shall be due and payable without demand beginning on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the Lease Term. Rent for any fractional month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated based on one-three hundred sixty-fifth (1/365) of the current annual Adjusted Rental for each day of the partial month this Lease is in effect, and shall be due and payable on or before the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.
(b)
During the Term of this Lease, the Basic Rental shall be increased at the beginning of each lease year as outlined above in the Basic Lease Terms. The dates described in this Section for computing the adjustment in Basic Rental are hereinafter sometimes referred to
13
collectively as “Rental Adjustment Dates” and singularly as a “Rental Adjustment Date”. After each Rental Adjustment Date, the rent as increased shall be deemed the Basic Rental for all purposes of this Lease.
(c)
If all of any sum due under this Lease is not received by its due date, then Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, shall pay, in addition to the sum owed, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the sum (or portion thereof) which is overdue. If a check remitted to pay any sum due to Landlord hereunder shall not be honored upon presentment for payment, then Tenant in addition to the amount owed, shall pay to Landlord on demand a fee of five percent (5%) of the amount owed. Following the dishonor of any check presented for payment, Landlord may require all further payments to be made hereunder to be made by certified check or money order. Also, if Landlord does not receive any Adjusted Rental within thirty (30) days after the due date thereof, or fails to pay any sum (other than Adjusted Rental) which at any time becomes due to Landlord under any provision of this Lease as and when the same becomes due hereunder, then, in either such event, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such overdue amounts from the due date thereof until paid at an annual rate (the “Past Due Rate”) which equals the lesser of (i) eighteen percent ( 18%) or (ii) the highest rate then permitted by law. All late payment charges and fees for dishonored checks are to reimburse Landlord for additional costs and expenses which Landlord presently expects to incur in connection with the handling and processing of late or dishonored payments.

(d)
Tenant's covenants and obligations to pay Adjusted Rental and all additional rental (collectively, the “Rent”) hereunder are unconditional and independent of any other covenant or condition imposed on either Landlord or Tenant, whether under this Lease, at law or in equity.
4.
Security Deposit.
The Security Deposit is due upon execution of the Lease. Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees that such deposit will not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use such deposit to make good any arrearage in any amount due hereunder and to reimburse Landlord for any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by any breach of this Lease. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, one-half (1/2) of any remaining balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 business days) after the expiration of this Lease.

If Landlord fails to timely exercise the foregoing recapture right or if the requested sublease does not trigger a recapture right on behalf of Landlord, then Landlord shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice to notify Tenant whether Landlord consents to such an assignment or subletting. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a subletting provided that (a) the sublessee under any such subletting shall be such person or entity as in the Landlord's judgment is of a character and engaged in a business such as is in keeping with the standards of the Park and its occupancy, (b) the sublessee shall have sufficient net worth to perform its obligations under its sublease, (c) the sublessee shall not be a (i) government or a governmental authority or a subdivision or an agency of any government or any governmental authority, (ii) a tenant of the Landlord elsewhere in the Park, (iii) an entity or person with whom the Landlord has negotiated (for purposes hereof, “negotiated” shall mean exchanging of written proposals, leases being prepared or drafts distributed and modified) for a proposed lease of space in the Park at any time during the six (6) month period prior to the receipt of said notice by the Landlord or (iv) competitor of Landlord and (d) the space so to be sublet shall be regular in shape. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing of such election within said forty-five (45) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment or sublease.

No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligations under this Lease. Landlord's consent to any assignment, sublease or other transaction shall not be deemed a consent to any other or subsequent transaction.

Landlord may transfer and assign, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations hereunder concurrently with the transfer and assignment of all or any portion of the Park and in such event and upon assumption by the transferee of Landlord's obligations hereunder (any such transferee to have the benefit of, and be subject to, the provisions of this Lease), no further liability or obligation shall thereafter accrue against Landlord hereunder.
(d)
If Tenant is a corporation, then any merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, or any change (whether in one or a series of transactions) in ownership or power to vote of fifty percent (50%) or more of its outstanding voting stock shall constitute an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord. If Tenant is a partnership, joint venture or other entity, then any liquidation or dissolution, or any transfer of ownership of interests totaling fifty percent (50%) or more of the total interests in such entity (whether in one or a series of transactions) shall constitute an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord.
(e)
Tenant agrees that it shall not place (or permit the placement of) any signs on or about the Premises or the Park, nor conduct (or permit anyone to conduct) any public advertising which includes any pictures, renderings, sketches or other representations of any Building (or a portion thereof) with respect to any proposed assignment or subletting of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent.

Landlord may terminate this Lease if Tenant sells, transfers, exchanges, distributes, or otherwise disposes of more than thirty percent (30%) of its assets (except in the ordinary course of business, in a public offering of the Tenant’s stock, or in a merger or acquisition) unless after such disposition, the net worth of Tenant as demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord is an amount acceptable to the Landlord.
(h)

Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Rent, but no such subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Paragraph 10 or the acceptance of the subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord's consent to any subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to obtain Landlord's written consent to any other subletting, use or occupancy by others.
20
(k)
If requested by Tenant in connection with a potential subletting of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord agrees (1) to use commercially reasonable efforts to tour potential sublessees of the Premises, as determined in Landlord’s sole discretion, through the portion of the Premises to be sublet, and/or (2) refer Tenant to Landlord’s listing broker.

(a)
Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by theft, act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, or for any damage or inconvenience that may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building or any part of the Park, or failure to make any such repairs unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

In case of a breach of the provisions of this Paragraph, if the breach is not due to circumstances beyond Tenant's reasonable control and if Tenant shall not have remedied the breach within ten (10) days of Landlord's written notice of the breach to Tenant, then in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall (i) indemnify and hold Landlord and its affiliates harmless from and against any loss which would have been covered by insurance which shall have become void or suspended because of such breach by Tenant, and (ii) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums (including imputed premiums) on any insurance resulting from any such breach.

Subordination.
(a)
This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security (“Security Instruments”), as well as to any ground leases or primary leases (“Master Leases”), that now or hereafter cover any of the Property or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications,
22
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right, at its option and declaration, to place Security Instruments and Master Leases on and against any of the Property or any interest of Landlord therein, superior in effect to this Lease and the estate created hereby. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination need be required, however, upon Landlord's request, or upon the request of any holder (a “Holder”) under any Security Instrument, or of any lessor (a “Lessor”) under any Master Lease, Tenant shall execute promptly any instrument (including without limitation an amendment to this Lease that does not materially and adversely affect Tenant's rights or duties under this Lease) or instruments intended to subordinate this Lease or to evidence the subordination of this Lease to any such Security Instrument or Master Lease. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord Tenant's attorney in fact to execute any such instrument for and on behalf of Tenant.
(b)
In the event of the enforcement by a Holder under any Security Instrument of the remedies provided for by law or by such Security Instrument, or in the event of the termination of any Master Lease, the Holder or the Lessor may terminate this Lease or may continue this Lease in full force and effect as a direct lease between such Holder or Lessor and Tenant. If the Holder or Lessor continues this lease, Tenant will attorn to and automatically become the tenant of such successor in interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease (Tenant hereby waiving any right Tenant may have to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises) and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be bound by or liable for (i) any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance, (ii) any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of such Holder, Lessor or successor in interest, or (iii) any offset, claim or cause of action which Tenant may have against Landlord relating to the period which is prior to the time Tenant becomes the tenant of such successor in interest. Upon request by any Holder, Lessor or successor in interest to either, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming this attornment herein provided for.
(c)
Tenant agrees that any Holder or Lessor may at any time subordinate any rights which Holder or Lessor may hold to the rights of Tenant under this Lease.
14.
Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply fully with the rules and regulations of the Building, the Property and the Park that are attached hereto as Exhibit C, and made a part hereof as though fully set out herein. Tenant shall further be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by the employees, servants, agents, contractors, visitors and invitees of Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to amend or rescind any of the rules and regulations and to make such other and further rules and regulations as in its reasonable judgment shall from time to time be prudent in the operation and management of the Premises, the Property and/or the Park, which rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon notice to Tenant of same provided that Landlord agrees to give advance notice to Tenant of any amendment to the rules and regulations and to consider Tenant's comments thereto, if any.

23
reason thereof, nor shall such be deemed to be an actual or constructive eviction. Unless there is an emergency, Landlord shall give prior notice to Tenant and shall allow a representative to accompany Landlord provided such representative does not interfere with such entry.
16.
Condemnation.
(a)
If all of the Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of all of the Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. If thirty percent (30%) or less of the Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. If more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises or if an essential portion of the Property shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part of the Premises, so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority, but Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice given to the other party within 30 days after such taking of possession. Landlord shall receive any and all funds or compensation paid by the authority for property taken or conveyed, provided that Tenant shall receive any portion of such condemnation proceeds awarded by the authority specifically allocated to improvements paid for by Tenant to the extent such improvements increased the value of the Premises for purposes of such award.
(b)
If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any portion of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Basic Rent and the RA of the Premises shall be computed on the basis of the remainder of the Premises as of the day possession shall be taken. Except as specifically provided herein, in the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no reduction in Rent. If this Lease shall continue in effect, Landlord shall make all necessary alterations so as to constitute the remainder of the Premises a complete tenantable unit. Landlord shall do so at its expense, but shall be obligated only to the extent of the net award or other compensation (after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining same) available to Landlord for the improvements taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other compensation for land). Within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of the net award or other compensation, Landlord shall advise Tenant whether such funds are sufficient or constitute the remainder of the Premises a complete tenantable unit. If such funds are not sufficient and if Landlord elects therefore not to proceed, or if for any other reason Landlord does not make such alterations to constitute the remainder of the Premises a tenantable unit, Tenant shall have the right upon notice to terminate this Lease.
(c)
All awards and compensation for any taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Premises, the Property or any other portion of the Park shall be property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards and compensation. Tenant shall be entitled to claim in the condemnation proceeding such award or compensation as may be allowed for Tenant's personal property and for loss of business, and the cost of Tenant's relocation, but only if such award or compensation shall be made by the condemning authority in addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of, the award or compensation made by it to Landlord.
17.
Fire or Other Casualty. If the Premises or the Building shall be destroyed or materially damaged and Landlord is unable to restore the Premises or the Building to an acceptable condition within a reasonable amount of time, then either party may terminate this
24
Lease by notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the casualty. If neither party terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If the casualty is due wholly or in part to an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, invitees or contractors, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deductible under Landlord's insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Holder requires that the insurance proceeds be used to retire a debt, or if any Lessor should terminate a Master Lease as a result of any such casualty, then Landlord may elect not to rebuild and this Lease shall terminate upon delivery to Tenant of a notice to that effect. Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair under this Paragraph 17 shall in all events be limited to restoring the Premises to substantially the condition same were in immediately preceding the casualty, excluding all signs, fixtures, equipment or furniture of Tenant and any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises made by Tenant, whether prior to or after the Commencement Date. Tenant agrees that promptly after completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild, repair and restore all signs, furniture, equipment, fixtures and other improvements which may have been placed by Tenant within the Premises. Provided that the casualty did not occur by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, invitees or contractors, Landlord shall allow Tenant a diminution of Basic Rental during the time the Premises are unfit for occupancy, which diminution shall be based upon the proportion of square feet which are unfit for occupancy to the total square feet in the Premises. Except as hereinafter provided, any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining fire and extended coverage insurance for full replacement cost upon all improvements and fixtures installed in the Premises at Tenant's expense, if any, and the contents of the Premises.
18.
Tenant Notice Regarding Term/Holdover Rent. For the duration of the Term of the Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to give Landlord written notice no later than six (6) months prior to the end of the then-current Term of the Lease of Tenant’s intent to either (a) extend the Term of the Lease or (b) permit the Term of the Lease to expire upon the end of the Term. If Tenant fails to give such written notice to Landlord, the Term of the Lease shall automatically be renewed in each case for an additional one-year period, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease. For the avoidance of any doubt, if Tenant gives proper notice hereunder that it will permit the current Term of the Lease to expire sixty (60) months from the Commencement Date above, Should Tenant after giving written notice of termination, or any of its successors in interest, holdover the Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord, such holding over shall constitute and be construed as a tenancy at will only, at a daily rental equal to the daily Basic Rental payable for the last month of the Lease Term plus twenty-five (25%) of such amount. The inclusion of the preceding sentence shall not be construed as Landlord’s consent for Tenant to hold over.
19.
Taxes on Tenant's Property. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against all personal property, furniture or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises. If any such taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord pays same or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property, furniture or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, and
25
Landlord pays the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.
20.
Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease:
(a)
Tenant shall fail to pay when due any Adjusted Rental or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder and such failures continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice to Tenant by Landlord (or under any other lease now or hereafter executed by Tenant in connection with space in the Property).
(b)
Tenant shall fail to comply with or observe any other provision of this Lease (or any other lease now or hereafter executed by Tenant in connection with space in the Park), and such failure continues for fifteen (15) business days after delivery to Tenant of notice thereof, provided that if such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within said 15 business day period, said failure shall not constitute an event of default if Tenant commences to cure such default within 10 days after its occurrence and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure such default to completion.
(c)
Tenant shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors or an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d)
Any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant under any appropriate federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law and with respect to an involuntary petition, same is not dismissed within 60 days after its filing; or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed thereunder; or Tenant shall admit that it cannot meet its financial obligations as they become due. For additional provisions regarding Tenant's bankruptcy see Exhibit F.

(h)
Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Premises which is not removed within 20 days after its creation.
(i)

(a)
Landlord shall fail to comply with or observe any other provision of this Lease (particularly paragraph 6), and such failure continues for fifteen (15) business days after delivery to Landlord of notice thereof, provided that if such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within said 15 business day period, said failure shall not constitute an event of default if
26
Landlord commences to cure such default within 10 days after its occurrence and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure such default to completion.
21.
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by either party specified in this Lease, the other party may pursue any and all remedies which it may then have hereunder or at law or in equity. In all cases, each party agrees that it will make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages from any default by the other party. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Landlord may exercise any one or more of the following remedies, which shall not be cumulative:
(a)
Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant immediately shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or any arrearage in Rent hereunder or at law or in equity, enter upon and take possession of the Premises. If default is by Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss, cost, expense and damage which Landlord may suffer or incur by reason of such termination, whether through inability (after a commercially reasonable effort) to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise, including the following:
(i)
the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii)
the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss which Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii)
to the extent such damages are not mitigated by obtaining a new tenant, the amount of the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term; plus
(iv)
any other amount, including court costs, or costs of reletting (including leasing and refitting costs), necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; plus
(v)
at Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law; and
(vi)
all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord relating to the default and termination of this Lease.
All Rent shall be computed on the basis of the amount thereof which was due and payable to Landlord for the month immediately prior to default. As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is to be computed by allowing interest at the Past Due Rate.
If any event of default by Landlord occurs and remains uncured pursuant to the terms hereof, upon Tenant’s prior written notice to Landlord describing in detail the default and Landlord’s failure to cure, Landlord shall release Tenant from obligations under this Lease arising after the date of such written notice and refund the Security Deposit pursuant to the terms set forth herein.

Enter upon and take possession of the Premises by virtue of the laws of the State of Utah for summary proceedings for possession of real estate or such other proceeding as may be applicable, and if Landlord so elects, relet all or any part of the Premises on such terms as Landlord shall deem advisable (including, without limitation, such concessions and free rent as Landlord deems necessary or desirable) and receive and retain all of the rent therefor; and Tenant agrees (i) to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Lease Term (or any extension thereof, if the event of default occurs during such extension term), and (ii) that Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents or other payments received by Landlord in connection with such reletting even if such rents and other payments are in excess of the amounts that would otherwise be payable to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the reletting and in connection with Tenant's default hereunder, expenses of repairing, altering and remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs. Tenant expressly acknowledges that Landlord has no duty to relet the Premises, that Landlord may offer all or any part of the Premises for any period, to any tenant and for any use which Landlord may elect, and that Landlord may offer for lease any vacant space in the Project Buildings prior to offering the Premises for lease.
(c)
Make such payments or enter upon the Premises, and perform whatever Tenant is obligated to pay or perform under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenditures and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate from the date paid by Landlord) which Landlord may make or incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
(d)
Receive from Tenant all sums, the payment of which may have been waived or abated by Landlord or which may have been paid by Landlord pursuant to any agreement to grant Tenant a rental abatement or other monetary inducement or concession, including but not limited to any tenant finish allowance or moving allowance, it being agreed that any such concession or abatement was made on the basis that Tenant fully perform all obligations and covenants under the Lease for the entire Lease Term.
(e)
Collect, from time to time, by suit or otherwise, each installment of Rent or other sum as it becomes due hereunder, or to enforce, from time to time, by suit or otherwise, any term or provision hereof on the part of Tenant required to be kept or performed.
(f)
No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting or re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for a previous default. Pursuit of any remedy set forth herein shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedy provided herein or available at law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damage suffered by Landlord because of the violation of any term of this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of any Rent following an event of default hereunder shall not waive such event of default. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of any amount less than the amounts due by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amounts due by Tenant hereunder, nor shall an endorsement or statement on any check or document accompanying any payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction.
28
(g)
If Landlord takes possession of the Premises as permitted herein, Landlord may keep in place and use all furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by a lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon. Landlord also may remove from the Premises (without the necessity of obtaining a distress warrant, writ of sequestration or other legal process) all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property located thereon and store same at any premises within Utah County, Utah. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal and storage and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense and liability in connection with such removal and storage. Landlord's rights herein are in addition to any and all other rights which Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity.
(h)
If Landlord must notify Tenant of any failure (monetary or non-monetary) of Tenant to comply with any provision of this Lease, that obligation to notify tenant shall terminate following the second such notice delivered to Tenant within any twelve-month period during the Lease Term.
(i)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the amount payable by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the preceding provision of this Section 21 (in addition to refund of Tenant’s Security Deposit) shall not exceed two times the Basic Rental under the Lease for the last full calendar month prior to such termination.
22.
Landlord's Liability. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless and until it fails to perform an obligation hereunder within fifteen (15) business days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the obligation which Landlord has not performed. However, if Landlord's obligation reasonably requires more than fifteen (15) business days for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default if it commences performance within such fifteen business-day period and uses reasonable efforts to complete same. Tenant has no right to claim any nature of lien against the Building or the Property. All obligations of Landlord hereunder are binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Property. The term “Landlord” means only the owner, for the time being, of the Property. In the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Property, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership. Any liability of Landlord to Tenant relating to this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Premises, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any deficiency.
23.
Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and signed by Landlord.
24.
Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought to enforce any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on the part of Landlord or Tenant, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court therein.
29
25.
Mechanic's Liens. Tenant will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens to be placed upon the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Park, or any portion thereof, caused by or resulting from any work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant, and in the case of the filing of any such lien, Tenant will immediately pay or otherwise obtain the release of same. If default in compliance with this Paragraph shall continue for fifteen (15) days after delivery to Tenant of a notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right and privilege at Landlord's option of paying the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional rent hereunder due from Tenant to Landlord and shall be repaid to Landlord (together with interest at the Past Due Rate from the date paid by Landlord) within fifteen (15) days after delivery to Tenant of a request from Landlord therefor.
26.
No Subrogation-Insurance.
(a)
Each party hereto waives any cause of action it might have against the other party on account of any loss or damage that is insured against under any insurance policy (to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such insurance policy) that covers the Premises, the Building, Landlord's or Tenant's fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements or business and which names Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, as a party insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the release in the preceding sentence shall be applicable and in force and effect only so long as and to the extent that such release does not invalidate any policy or policies of insurance now or hereafter maintained by the other party hereto. Each party hereto agrees that it will request its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier's rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party and obtain such waiver of subrogation if it is obtainable at no extra cost or expense to the insured (or if there is an extra cost if the other party pays such extra cost).
(b)
Tenant shall maintain a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance pertaining to its use and occupancy of the Premises hereunder, with the premiums thereof fully paid in advance, issued by and binding upon a solvent insurance company qualified to do business in the State of Utah, such insurance to name Landlord as an additional insured. Such policy shall afford minimum protection of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) combined single limit for bodily injury, death to any one person, or property damage in any one occurrence. Additionally, Tenant shall obtain and maintain (i) a contractual liability coverage endorsement with “incidental contract” coverage including all oral or written contracts relating to the named insured's business and (ii) All Risk insurance in respect to Tenant's stock in trade, fixtures, furnishings, floor covering, equipment and all other property of Tenant in the Premises, insuring 100% insurable value of such property. The adequacy of the coverage afforded by said liability insurance shall be subject to review by Landlord from time to time, and if Landlord is advised by Landlord's insurance agent that a prudent businessman in Utah County, Utah, using the Premises for the Permitted Use, would increase the limits of said insurance, Tenant shall to that extent increase the insurance coverage required by this Paragraph 26. In addition to the remedies provided in Paragraph 21 of this Lease, if Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required by this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx may, but is not obligated to, obtain such insurance without notice to Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as additional rental the premium cost thereof plus interest at the Past Due Rate from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant.

Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease other than the Broker (as defined in the Basic Lease Information), and Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or other liability for commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent other than Broker who claims same by, through or under Tenant.
28.
Building Name. Landlord reserves the right at any time to give a name to the Building or to change the name by which the Building is designated.
29.
Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees to furnish from time to time when requested by (a) Landlord, (b) a Holder or a Lessor, or (c) any prospective Holder, Lessor or purchaser of the Building or the Property, a certificate signed by Tenant confirming such factual certifications and representations as to the terms and conditions of this Lease and amendments, if any, as may be deemed appropriate by Landlord or any such Holder, Lessor, or purchaser, and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's receipt of said proposed certificate from Landlord, return a fully executed copy of said certificate to Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to return a fully executed copy of such certificate to Landlord within said fifteen-day period, then Tenant conclusively shall be deemed to have approved and confirmed all of the terms, certifications and representations contained in such certificate.
30.

Each provision of this Lease, or of any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations, and other requirements with reference to the sending, mailing or delivery of any notice, or with reference to the making of any payment by Tenant or Landlord, shall be deemed to be complied with when and if the following specs are taken:

31.
Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Lease Term, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
32.
Amendments: No Waiver: Binding Effect. This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended, except by instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party making the waiver and addressed to the other party, nor shall any custom or practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed to waive or lessen the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms hereof.

OPERATING EXPENSES
In addition to the Basic Rental payable by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay additional rent determined as follows:
(1)
The Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) attributable to the Premises shall be computed by multiplying the “Operating Expenses Per Square Foot of RA” (as defined in Paragraph (7) below) by the RA of the Premises. For the purposes of this Exhibit E, the term “Operating Expenses” shall mean the sum of (i) any and all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and character, which Landlord shall incur, pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the ownership of any estate or interest in, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and security of the Applicable Leased Buildings (as hereafter defined), or any portion thereof and (ii) the Applicable Share (as hereunder defined) of all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and character which Landlord shall incur, pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and security of the Shared Park Facilities in each instance, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, including but not limited to the following:

(d)
Cost of all utilities, other than the cost of excess or individually metered utilities supplied to tenants of the Applicable Leased Buildings which is actually reimbursed to Landlord by such tenants.

Cost of all maintenance and service agreements on equipment relating to or in the Applicable Leased Buildings and/or the Shared Park Facilities, including without limitation alarm service, HVAC service, security service, and elevator maintenance, and window cleaning for the Applicable Leased Buildings and/or Shared Park Facilities.
(f)
Cost of casualty, rental abatement and liability insurance applicable to the Applicable Leased Building and/or the Shared Park Facilities and Landlord's personal property, equipment and fixtures used in connection therewith, together with any other insurance deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord or any holder of a lien secured by the Property, including any deductible under any policy of insurance.

For purposes of determining, “Excess Taxes” (as such term is defined in the Basic Lease Information), “Taxes Per Square Foot of RA” shall mean Taxes, (hereinafter defined) attributable to the Applicable Leased Buildings divided by the aggregate rentable square feet of office space in the Applicable Leased Buildings. As used herein, the term “Taxes” shall mean all taxes and assessments and government charges whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes or assessments attributable to the Applicable Leased Buildings and its operations, excluding, however, federal and state taxes on income (except as specifically permitted by this subparagraph (2), together with all costs and expenses of contesting the validity or amount of such taxes and assessments. If at any time during the Lease Term, the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of the Taxes, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents of the Applicable Leased Buildings, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for purposes of this Exhibit E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any calendar year the Applicable Leased Buildings are not separately taxed from other portions of the Park, then the term Taxes per Square Foot of RA shall be deemed equal to the Taxes for the entire Park multiplied by Applicable Share and divided by the aggregate rentable square feet in the Applicable Leased Buildings.
(3)
During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay as a component of the Adjusted Rental, the Excess Operating Expenses and the Excess Taxes (both as defined in the Basic Lease Information). With respect to each calendar year during the Lease Term commencing with calendar year 2008, Landlord shall have the option of making a good faith estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses and the Excess Taxes for the calendar year in question or the upcoming calendar year as the case may be, and upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant may require that Tenant pay said estimated Excess Operating Expenses and estimated Excess Taxes in equal monthly installments in the manner and at the times set forth in Paragraph 3 of the Lease for payment of the Adjusted Rental. Alternatively, Landlord may require payment of the Excess Operating Expenses and the Excess Taxes in a lump sum at the time when the Operating Expenses and Taxes are available for each calendar year. For purposes of calculating the Excess Operating Expenses and the Excess Taxes payable with respect to any fractional calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord may either (i) estimate Operating Expenses and Taxes for the portion of the Lease Term during such partial year, or (ii) estimate Operating Expenses and Taxes for the entire calendar year and reduce the same to an amount bearing the same proportion to the full amount of estimated Operating Expenses and estimated Taxes for such year as the number of days in such fractional calendar year bears to the total number of days in such full calendar year. All payments of Excess Operating Expenses and Excess Taxes based upon an estimate of Landlord shall be subject to adjustment as more particularly described in Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit E.
(4)
On or before May 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term (or of the calendar year immediately succeeding the termination of this Lease), or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the Operating Expenses, the Operating
E-3

Landlord: ______
Tenant: ______
Expenses Per Square Foot of RA and the RA of the Premises for the previous calendar year. If Tenant's total payments of Excess Operating Expenses for any calendar year (or portion thereof) during the Lease Term (based on Landlord's estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses) exceed the Excess Operating Expenses actually due during such year (or portion thereof), then Landlord, at Landlord's sole option, either shall credit to Tenant's account or shall refund to Tenant any overpayment. Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand, the amount by which the Excess Operating Expenses for any calendar year (or portion thereof) during the Lease Term, exceed the Excess Operating Expenses payments received by Landlord from Tenant for such calendar Year (or portion thereof).
(5)
If the Applicable Leased Buildings taken as a whole shall be less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any calendar year, Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be increased to equal Operating Expenses for the Applicable Leased Buildings as if they were 95% occupied during such calendar year.
(6)
Tenant's obligation to pay additional rent pursuant to this Exhibit E shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease, and shall continue and shall cover all periods up to the termination date of this Lease as calculated pursuant to the Basic Lease Information. If Landlord terminates this Lease without specifically waiving in writing Landlord's right to seek damages against Tenant, Tenant's obligations to pay any and all additional rent pursuant to this Lease shall not terminate as a result thereof.
(7)
Definitions. As used herein,
(a)
the term “Applicable Leased Buildings” shall mean Building K as shown on the site plan for the Park provided that (i) if any of said Buildings shall not be occupied by at least one tenant of Landlord for at least 180 days during any calendar year, then such Building shall not be deemed an Applicable Leased Building for such calendar year and (ii) if any Park Building other than the Buildings listed above shall be occupied by at least one tenant of Landlord for at least 180 days during any calendar year then such Building shall be deemed an Applicable Leased Building for such calendar year;
(b)
the term “Applicable Share” shall mean 7.18%, provided that if the RA of any Applicable Leased Building or any Park Building shall increase or decrease such percentage shall be appropriately modified, it being the intent of the parties that Applicable Share shall mean the aggregate RA of the Applicable Leased Buildings divided by the RA of all Park Buildings; and
(c)
the term “Operating Expenses Per Square Foot of RA” shall mean Operating Expenses during the calendar year in question divided by the aggregate RA of the Applicable Leased Buildings.

BANKRUPTCY
(1)
If a petition is filed by, or an order for relief is entered against, Tenant under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) and the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it, the election or assignment, or both, may be made only if all of the terms and conditions of subparagraph a(i) are satisfied. If the trustee fails to elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it within sixty (60) days after his appointment, this Lease will be deemed to have been rejected. Landlord shall then immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee, and this Lease will be cancelled. Landlord's right to be compensated for damages in the bankruptcy proceeding, however, shall survive.
(a)
If Tenant files a petition for reorganization under Chapters 11 or 13 of the Code or a proceeding that is filed by or against Tenant under any other chapter of the Code is converted to a Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding and Tenant's trustee or Tenant as a debtor-in-possession fails to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of the filing of the petition or the conversion, the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will be deemed to have rejected this Lease. To be effective, an election to assume this Lease must be in writing and addressed to Landlord and, in Landlord's business judgment, all of the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable, must have been satisfied:
(i)
The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance, as defined in this subparagraph a, that:
(1)(A)
The trustee will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within ten (10) days from the date of the assumption; and
(B)
The trustee will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of the assumption.
(2)
The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance, as defined in this subparagraph a, that within ten (10) days from the date of the assumption Landlord will be compensated for any pecuniary loss Landlord incurred arising from the default of Tenant, the trustee, or the debtor-in-possession as recited in Landlord's written statement of pecuniary loss sent to the trustee or the debtor-in-possession.
(3)
The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with adequate assurance of the future performance of each of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that:
F-1
(A)
The trustee or debtor-in-possession will also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rental, an amount equal to two months' Adjusted Rental and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease;
(B)
From and after the date of the assumption of this Lease, the trustee or debtor-in-possession will pay when due each Adjusted Rental payment due hereunder; and
(C)
The obligations imposed upon the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will continue for Tenant after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.
(4)
Landlord has determined that the assumption of this Lease will not breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Premises.
(5)
For purposes of this subparagraph a, “adequate assurance” means that:
(A)
Landlord will determine that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has, and will continue to have, sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and
(B)
An order will have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or a valid and perfected first lien and security interest will have been granted in property of Tenant, trustee, or debtor-in-possession that is acceptable for value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary or nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within the time periods set forth above.
(b)
In the event that this Lease is assumed by a trustee appointed for Tenant or by Tenant as debtor-in-possession under the provisions of subparagraph a and, thereafter, Tenant is either adjudicated a bankrupt or files a subsequent petition for rearrangement under Chapter 11 of the Code, then Landlord may terminate, at its option, this Lease and all Tenant's rights under it, by giving written notice of Landlord's election to terminate.
(c)
If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed this Lease, under the terms of subparagraph a, to assign or to elect to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease or the estate created by that interest to any other person, that interest or estate may be assigned only if Landlord acknowledges in writing that the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance, as defined in this subparagraph c, of future
F-2
performance of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant
For the purposes of this subparagraph c, adequate assurance of future performance means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(i)
The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, audited by a certified public accountant, that shows a net worth and working capital in amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligation under this Lease;
(ii)
If reasonably requested by Landlord, the assignee will obtain guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons who satisfy Landlord's standards of credit worthiness: and
(iii)
Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from any third party required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit the assignment.
(d)
When, pursuant to the Code, the trustee or the debtor-in-possession is obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of all or part of the Premises, the charges will not be less than the Adjusted Rental then required to be paid by Tenant hereunder.
(e)
Neither Tenant's interest in this Lease nor any estate of Tenant created in this Lease will pass to any trustee, receiver, or assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant, unless Landlord consents in writing to this transfer. Landlord's acceptance of rental or any other payments from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to affect or alter (i) the need to obtain Landlord's consent or (ii) Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such consent.
