For and in consideration of the rental to be paid and of the covenants and agreements set forth below to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Leased Premises (as hereafter defined) and certain other areas, rights and privileges for the term, at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth.

The Leased Premises consists of that certain area crosshatched on the floor plan shown on Exhibit “B” which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. At any time and from time to time during the term of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to re-measure and re-determine the gross rentable square feet of the Leased Premises and the Building in accordance with commercially reasonable procedures. If the re-measured and re-determined rentable area of the Leased Premises is different than above stated, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the change in square footage (the “Measurement Notice”). The re-measured and re-determined rentable square feet shall then become the gross rentable square feet of the Leased Premises, effective as of the date of the Measurement Notice, in which case the Basic Annual Rent (as defined in Section 3.1 below), the Additional Rent (as defined in Section 4.1 below), and any Tenant Finish Allowance (as defined in Section 2.3 below) shall be proportionately adjusted;

(b) A non-exclusive revocable license to use the Common Areas (as defined in Section 20.1 below);
(c) A non-exclusive revocable license 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 revocable license to use those areas designated and suitable for vehicular parking, including the non-exclusive right to the use of two hundred ten (210) parking stalls surrounding the Building as well as street-side stalls located on Morris Avenue to be provided configured by the City of South Salt Lake. Included in the parking stalls shall be ten (10) non-exclusive visitor parking stalls adjacent to the north Building entrance, provided, Landlord shall have no obligation to enforce or restrict any use of such visitor parking stalls.
1.2 Landlord and Tenant’s Construction Obligations. The obligation of Landlord and Tenant to perform the work and supply the necessary materials and labor to prepare the Leased Premises for occupancy is described in detail on Exhibit “C”, which is attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein. Landlord and Tenant shall expend all funds and do all acts required of them as described on Exhibit “C” and shall perform or have the work performed promptly and diligently in a first class and workmanlike manner.
1.3 Changes to Building. Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time and from time to time to make changes, alterations or additions to the Building or to the Property. Tenant shall not, in such event, claim or be allowed any damages for injury, interference, 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 that any such changes, alterations and/or additions shall not materially interfere with Tenant access to, or permitted use of, the Leased Premises, nor materially obstruct the visibility of the Leased Premises.
1.4 License to Enter. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right, upon giving Landlord ten (10) days prior notice, to enter into a portion of the Leased Premises not to exceed 10,282 square feet on the first floor for purposes of performing recruiting and interview functions for the Tenant’s business. Prior to entering into the Leased Premises, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver a license agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit” I”.
II. TERM
2.1 Length of Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of Ten (10) years and nine (9) 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 and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on the first to occur of the following dates (the “Commencement Date”):
(a) The date Tenant first takes possession of the Leased Premises and conducts business therein;
(b) April 1, 2010.
Tenant shall have two (2) five-year options to renew this Lease by providing Landlord three hundred sixty (360) day prior written notice for each respective option. In the event Tenant exercises its first option to renew this Lease, Basic Annual Rent, at the commencement of the first option period, shall be 95% of the Basic Annual Rent at the end of the initial term of this Lease and shall escalate at three percent (3%) annually. In the event Tenant exercises its second option to renew this Lease, Basic Annual Rent, at the commencement of the second option period, shall be 103% of the Basic Annual Rent at the end of the first option term of this Lease and shall escalate at three percent (3%) annually.
Except to the extent of any monies deposited with Landlord by Tenant, Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant arising out of the failure of the Commencement Date to occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails to deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Construction Obligations complete on or before April 1, 2010, and such failure is not a result of a Tenant Delay, (a) the Commencement Date shall not occur until July 1, 2010, and (b) Tenant shall be permitted to occupy the Leased Premises, provided such occupancy will be subject to Tenant’s compliance with all of the provisions of this Lease, other than the payment of Basic Annual Rent (which Tenant shall not be required to pay until July 1, 2010). For purposes of this Lease a Tenant Delay shall mean any delays in the completion of the Landlord’s Construction Obligations as a result of (a) Tenant’s failure to deliver plans and specifications in the time frames required by Exhibit “C”, (b) Tenant’s acts or omissions, including any interference with the Landlord’s performance of the Landlord’s Construction Obligations, (c) change orders requested by Tenant or required as a result of applicable laws, (d) errors or omissions in Tenant’s plans and specifications, (e) Tenant’s failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals in the time frames required by Exhibit “C”, (f) Tenant’s failure to pay for Tenant’s Construction Obligations (subject to reimbursement as provided in Section 2.3) or (g) Tenant’s failure to approve a general contractor in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C”. In addition to the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails to deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Construction Obligations complete on or before June 1, 2010 (as such date is extended for each day such failure is a result of a Tenant Delay or a delay described in Section 22.2), Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as liquidated damages, $500.00 per day for each day beyond June 1, 2010 (as extended for periods of Tenant Delay and delays described in Section 22.2) until Landlord deliver’s the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Construction Obligations complete. In the event Landlord fails to deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Construction Obligations complete on or before August 1, 2010 (as such date is extended for each day such failure is a result of a Tenant Delay), Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord prior to the time Landlord has completed Landlord’s Construction Obligations.

2.3 Construction of Leased Premises. Landlord shall provide a tenant finish allowance (the “Tenant Finish Allowance”) to pay for or partially reimburse Tenant for the costs of Tenant’s Construction Obligations in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit “C”. The Tenant Finish Allowance shall be an amount equal to $1,233,684.00. In no event shall the Tenant Finish Allowance be used to reimburse Tenant for any special decorator items, equipment, furniture, or furnishings. The Tenant Finish Allowance shall be paid or applied in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C”.
At the commencement of the sixth (6th) year of the Lease, Tenant shall have the option to request $228,460.00 as an additional Tenant Finish Allowance to reimburse Tenant for the refurbishment of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord three hundred sixty days (360) days prior written notice of Tenant’s intent to exercise said option. Subject to the payment options contained in Exhibit “C”, Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of the sixth year of this Lease to complete its refurbishment of the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to complete refurbishment of the Leased Premises within such one hundred eighty (180) day period and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant said additional Tenant Finish Allowance.
2.4 Amendment to Lease Recognizing the Commencement Date. At any time after the occurrence of the Commencement Date (if any), Landlord or Tenant may request that the other party enter into an amendment to this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”, in which case each party shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease in the form Exhibit “E” within ten (10) business days after the request by the other party.

In the event the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then rent shall be paid on the Commencement Date for the initial fractional calendar month prorated on a per-diem basis (based upon a thirty (30) day month).
3.2 Additional Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall also pay as 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.
IV. ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 Definitions. It is the intent of both parties that the Basic Annual Rent herein specified shall be absolutely net to Landlord throughout the term of this Lease, and that all costs, expenses and obligations relating to the Building, the Common Areas, the Property and/or the Leased Premises which may arise or become due during the term shall be paid by Tenant in the manner hereafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the terms set forth below shall mean the following:
(a) “Additional Rent” shall mean the sum of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, plus Tenant’s Direct Costs, plus all other amounts due and payable by Tenant under this Lease.

 

5


 

(b) “Common Area Expenses” shall mean all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, management and maintenance of the Common Areas, the Building, Property, and related improvements located thereon (the “Improvements”). Common Area Expenses includes, but is not limited to, all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s compliance with any and all of its obligations under this Lease (or under similar leases with other tenants) other than the performance of its work under Section 2.3 of this Lease or similar provisions of leases with other tenants. In explanation of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, Common Area Expenses shall include:
(i) all real and personal property taxes, impact fees, local improvement rates, and other ad valorem assessments (whether general or special, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen) and any tax or assessment levied or charged in lieu thereof, whether assessed against Landlord and/or Tenant and whether collected from Landlord and/or Tenant, including, without limitation, any privilege or excise tax;
(ii) the cost of all insurance maintained by Landlord on or with respect to the Building, the Improvements, the Common Areas or the Property, including, without limitation, casualty insurance, liability insurance, rental interruption, workers compensation, any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord’s lender, and any deductible applicable to any claims made by Landlord under such insurance;
(iii) snow removal, trash removal, cost of services of independent contractors, cost of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with day-to-day operation, maintenance, and repair, of the Building, the Improvements, the Common Areas or the Property, its equipment and the adjacent walk and landscaped area (including, but not limited to janitorial, scavenger, gardening, security, parking, elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, carpentry, window washing, and signing and advertising), and roof repairs, but excluding persons performing services not uniformly available to or performed for substantially all Building tenants;
(iv) costs of all gas, water, sewer, electricity and other utilities used in the maintenance, operation or use of the Building, the Improvements, the Property and the Common Areas, cost of equipment or devices used to conserve or monitor energy consumption, supplies, licenses, permits and inspection fees;
(v) auditing, accounting and legal fees; and
(vi) ground rent or other payments required to be made in connection with the maintenance or operation of any easement or right of way or other instrument through which Landlord claims title in the Property or to which Landlord’s title in the Property is subject.

 

6


 

(c) “Direct Costs” shall mean all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, maintenance, replacement, and repair of the Leased Premises, including but not limited to janitorial services, maintenance, repairs, supplies, utilities, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and property management fees. Property management fees shall be equal to a percentage of the sum of Tenant’s Basic Annual Rent and Estimated Costs, including electricity charges if separately metered and parking charges if applicable, which percentage shall not exceed four percent (4%). In the event any Direct Cost is a result of any service provided by Landlord to Tenant which is not generally provided to other tenant’s within the Building, such Direct Cost shall be proportionately allocated to Tenant and any other tenants within the Building receiving such service, based on a pro rata portion determined by rentable square feet. In the event Tenant is not obtaining any utility service directly from a utility provider, Landlord may install, at Tenant’s expense, sub-meters to measure Tenant’s actual use of such utilities. If such sub-meters are installed, Tenant shall pay Landlord as a Direct Cost the actual kilowatt hourly rate billed to Landlord by the public utility companies for each respective period, including taxes. Additionally, in the event that Tenant requires the use of ventilation/air conditioning before or after normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday), the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such ventilation/air conditioning usage by Tenant during such after hours use shall be equitably apportioned among Tenant and all other tenants in the Building requiring such after hours ventilation/air conditioning use.
(d) “Estimated Costs” shall mean Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Direct Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses for a particular calendar year, excluding the costs of any utilities which are separately metered and paid directly by Tenant. The Estimated Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease commences are $274,152.00. If the Estimated Costs as of the date Tenant takes occupancy are greater than Tenant’s Estimated Costs at the time this Lease is executed, the Estimated Costs shall be increased to equal the Estimated Costs as of the date of Tenant’s occupancy.
(e) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall mean the percentage derived from the fraction, the numerator of which is the gross rentable square footage of the Leased Premises (45,692), the denominator of which is the gross rentable square footage of the Building (60,847). In this Lease, Tenant’s pro-rata share initially is 75.09%, subject to increase or decrease due to increases or decreases in the gross rentable square footage of the Leased Premises and/or the Building,
(f) Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to keep any annual increase in Controllable Operating Expenses (as defined below) at or below five percent (5%). If Controllable Operating Expenses escalate by more than four percent (4%) in a given Year, then, at the request of Tenant or another tenant of the Building, Landlord shall attempt to reduce the costs by competitively rebidding any significant materials and services contracts. Landlord shall also attempt to keep the cost of Property management services at or below four percent (4%) of gross rents for the Building by rebidding such services if necessary, but not more frequently than once every Year for the following Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to accept a low bid pursuant to this subsection if Landlord has a commercially reasonable basis for not accepting it. “Controllable Operating Expenses” means all Operating Expenses reasonably subject to Landlord’s control but in no event including utilities (such as, without limitation, electricity, natural gas, culinary and landscaping water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer charges), insurance, taxes, snow and ice removal.

4.2 Payment of Additional Rent. Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:
(a) Prior to the beginning of a calendar year, 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 amount 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.

Such insurance shall also include coverage against loss of rental income.
11.3 Liability Insurance.
(a) During the entire term hereof and at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall keep in full force and effect with insurance companies acceptable to Landlord a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 each Occurrence and $3,000,000 General Aggregate. The policy shall apply to the Leased Premises and all operations of Tenant’s business. Such policy shall name Landlord as Additional Insured and shall provide that coverage for the Additional Insured is primary and not contributory with other insurance. The policy shall provide that such policy not be cancelled or materially changed without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days written notice. Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof provide Landlord with evidence of current insurance coverage. All public liability, property damage, and other liability policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with coverage which Landlord may carry. All such policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents, and employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant. All such insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death of persons or injury or damage to property contained in Part X.
(b) During the entire term hereof, Landlord shall maintain and keep in full force and effect with insurance companies acceptable to Landlord a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits and deductibles as are customarily maintained by owners of the property similar to the Property. The policy shall apply to the Property and all operations of Landlord’s business.
11.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to recover against each other, against any other tenant or occupant of the Building, and against each other’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, joint venturers, employees, agents, customers, invitees or business visitors or of any other tenant or occupant of the Building, for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by any insurance carried by the waiving party, to the extent that such loss or damage is actually covered.
11.5 Lender. Any mortgage lender interest in any part of the Building or Improvements may, at Landlord’s option, be afforded coverage under any policy required to be secured by Tenant hereunder, by use of a mortgagee’s endorsement to the policy concerned.

XII. DESTRUCTION
If the Leased Premises shall be partially damaged by any casualty which is insured against under any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Landlord shall, to the extent of and upon receipt of, the insurance proceeds, repair the portion of the Landlord’s Construction Obligations damaged by such casualty. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation within ninety (90) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord if any of the following occur: (a) the Leased Premises by reason of such occurrence are rendered wholly untenantable, (b) the Leased Premises should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by insurance, (c) the Leased Premises should be damaged in whole or in part during the last six (6) months of the term or of any renewal hereof, (d) the Leased Premises or the Building (whether the Leased Premises are damaged or not) should be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then-monetary value thereof, or (e) the proceeds of such insurance are not sufficient to repair the Leased Premises to the extent required above (including any deficiency as a result of a mortgage lender’s election to apply such proceeds to the payment of the mortgage loan). Tenant’s liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the day following Landlord’s giving notice of cancellation. In the event Landlord elects to repair any damage, any abatement of rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Leased Premises have been repaired 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, 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 the Tenant’s business, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as aforesaid. If the Leased Premises remain suitable for the Tenant’s business following such partial taking, then this Lease shall continue in effect except that the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the portion of the Leased Premises (including basement, if any) taken bears to the total area initially demised. 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.

 

22


 

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 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.
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, and for relocation compensation, 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.

 

23


 

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 ten (10) 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 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 the Tenant; (b) all construction contracted for by Tenant is being done for the exclusive benefit of the 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 the 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 that so long as Tenant continues to perform all of its obligations under this Lease its tenancy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Landlord’s default in connection with the Mortgage concerned or any resulting foreclosure or sale or transfer in lieu of such proceedings. If requested by a holder of the Mortgage, Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute and deliver an instrument confirming the foregoing subordination. 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.

 

24


 

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 change the location or configuration of the Leased Premises nor substantially and adversely affect Tenant’s economic interests hereunder, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs or requirements of any lender which is considering making or which has made a loan secured by a Mortgage affecting the Leased Premises.
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. 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, provided that said successor or assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods.
15.4 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide financial information sufficient for Landlord to verify the financial condition of Tenant. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that none of such information contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will such information omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein misleading or unreliable.
XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF LANDLORD
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 ten (10) days after such Rent is due.
(b) Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within ten (10) 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 ten (10) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the ten (10) day period or, after timely commencing, fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion, but in no event to exceed sixty (60) 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 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.
(d) Any guarantor of this Lease defaults in the performance of any obligation of such guarantor under the provisions of any guaranty of this Lease.

 

25


 

16.2 Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to it, terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice, 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 costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including reasonable 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 ten (10) days of the date the same is due and payable, 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 fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above the Prime Rate. For purposes of this Lease, “Prime Rate” means the prime rate or base rate reported in the Money Rates column or section of The Wall Street Journal as being the prime rate or base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks (whether or not such rate has actually been charged by any such bank). If The Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the prime rate or the base rate, “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest from time to time announced by the national bank in the United States doing business in Utah having the largest asset value as its prime rate or base rate. 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 that may properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable law.
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, 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.

 

26


 

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 150% 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. The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, 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
In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party.
XIX. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
19.1 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, execute and deliver to Landlord a written declaration, in form and substance similar to Exhibit “D”, plus such additional other information as Landlord may reasonably request. 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.

 

27


 

XX. COMMON AREAS
20.1 Definition of Common Areas. “Common Areas” means all areas, space, equipment, and special services provided for the joint or common use and benefit of the tenants or occupants of the Building, the Improvements, and Property or portions thereof, and their employees, agents, servants, patients, customers, and other invitees (collectively referred to herein as “Occupants”) including, without limitation, parking, access roads, driveways, retaining walls, landscaped areas, serviceways, loading docks, pedestrian walks; courts, stairs, ramps, and sidewalks; common corridors, rooms and restrooms; air-conditioning, fan, janitorial, electrical, and telephone rooms or closets; and all other areas within the Building which are not specified for exclusive use or occupancy by Landlord or any tenant (whether or not they are leased or occupied).
20.2 License to Use Common Areas. The Common Areas shall be available for the common use of all Occupants and shall be used and occupied under a non-exclusive revocable license. If any such license shall be revoked, or if the amount of such areas shall be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction; provided, however, no such revocation shall materially adversely affect Tenant’s access to the Leased Premises, Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the visibility of the Leased Premises. All Common Areas shall be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right (a) to construct, 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; (d) to restrict (but not prohibit) parking by tenants, their officers, agents, and employees; (e) 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 (f) 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 a manner similar to other buildings in the area, shall have full right and authority to employ and discharge all personnel with respect thereto, and shall have the right, through reasonable non-discriminatory 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.
20.3 Parking. Subject to the terms of Section 1.1(d) hereof, automobiles of Tenant and all Occupants (as defined above) associated with Tenant shall be parked only within parking areas not otherwise reserved by Landlord. Landlord or its agents shall, without any liability to Tenant or its Occupants, have the right to cause to be removed any automobile that may be wrongfully parked in a prohibited or reserved parking area, and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, demands, damages and liabilities asserted or arising with respect to or in connection with any such removal of an automobile. Tenant shall from time to time, upon request of Landlord, supply Landlord with a list of license plate numbers of all automobiles owned by Tenant or its day-to-day Occupants.

 

28


 

XXI. SIGNS, AWNINGS, AND CANOPIES
Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on any exterior door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in or outside the Building, any sign, awning, marquee, decoration, lettering, attachment, or canopy, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the Leased Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s reasonable written approval. 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.
Tenant shall have the right to install one building exterior crown sign in the middle of the north side of the Building. Landlord agrees to limit the size of any additional other-tenant signage on the north side of the Building to an area smaller than that of Tenant’s sign. Tenant shall have the right to an additional sign on the south side of the Building. The exact type, location and size of any exterior signage shall be determined and agreed upon in writing by both Tenant and Landlord prior to any installation of signage. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost, installation, maintenance and removal (upon the expiration of this Lease) of Tenant’s signage.
XXII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
22.1 No Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership, or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
22.2 Force Majeure. Landlord or Tenant shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any obligations hereunder when prevented from so doing by cause or causes beyond its control, including, without limitation, labor disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or service, or acts of God, or the acts or omissions of the other party hereto or their Related Parties; provided, nothing herein shall excuse Tenant from the payment of the Rent due under this Lease.

 

29


 

22.3 No Waiver. Failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by both parties hereto.
22.4 Notice. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and shall be addressed (a) if to Landlord, at the place specified for payment of rent, which is set forth below, and (b) if to Tenant, at the address set forth below.

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 Date when such sale or assignment occurs, be entirely relieved of all of its obligations hereunder. 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 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.

22.12 Governing Law. The interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah. Tenant hereby expressly and irrevocably agrees that Landlord may bring any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease in the State of Utah, County of Salt Lake, and Tenant irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Utah for the purposes of any such action or claim. Tenant further irrevocably consents to service of process in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Utah. 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, Buildings 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 G, and Landlord may from time to time reasonably amend, modify or make additions to or deletions from such rules and regulations. Such amendments, modifications, additions and deletions shall be effective on 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 represent 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.

 

32


 

(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 Right of First Offer to Purchase.
(a) Proposal to Sell. If Landlord proposes to sell the Property to a third party which is not an affiliate of Landlord, and so long as (i) no default exists under this Lease, and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall first notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s desire to sell the Property (the “Written Notice of Sale”).

 

33


 

(b) Exercise of Right of First Offer. Unless the proposed conveyance is to an affiliate of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right (the “Tenant’s Right of First Offer”) for a period of fifteen (15) days from and after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Sale to submit within such fifteen (15) day period a written offer to Landlord upon which Tenant would be willing to purchase the Property (“Tenant’s Offer”). If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Offer, Landlord may accept or reject Tenant’s Offer, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion. If Landlord accepts Tenant’s Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten business days after Landlord accept Tenant’s Offer, enter into a purchase contract on the terms set forth in Tenant’s Offer (and such other terms as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant) and proceed to consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in such purchase contract. Failure of Tenant to so elect to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer within such fifteen (15) 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 Offer.
(c) Failure to Exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer. If Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer, or if Landlord rejects Tenant’s Offer, Landlord may sell and convey the Property on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion which in the aggregate are not materially more favorable to the new tenant. The burden of proving the transaction is materially more favorable is upon Tenant. If Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer, or if Landlord rejects Tenant’s Offer, and Landlord transfers the Property to a third party, Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be terminated.
(d) Limitations on Tenant’s Right of First Offer. Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage encumbering the Property, and shall not be exercisable with respect to a foreclosure or trustee’s sale or deed in lieu thereof with respect to such Mortgage. Tenant shall execute any document for the sole purpose of confirming the provisions of this Section required by a Mortgagee.
(e) Non Assignable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right to exercise the Tenant’s Right of First Offer is personal to the tenant named herein and any permitted assignee of this Lease and shall terminate upon any other assignment of this Lease to any party; provided after properly and timely exercising Tenant’s Right of First Offer, Tenant may assign the right to an affiliate that is under common control with Tenant.
22.21 Right of First Offer to Lease.
(a) Proposal to Lease. If Landlord proposes to lease any space within the Building to a third party (other than leases of space pursuant to expansion rights, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer granted to tenants in the Building as of the date of this Lease), and so long as (i) no default exists under this Lease, and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall first notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s desire to lease such space in the Building (the “Written Notice of Lease”).

 

34


 

(b) Exercise of Right of First Offer to Lease. Unless the proposed lease is a lease of space pursuant to expansion rights, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer granted to tenants in the Building as of the date of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right (the “Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease”) for a period of ten (10) days from and after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease to submit within such ten (10) day period a written offer to Landlord upon which Tenant would be willing to lease such space in the Building (“Tenant’s Lease Offer”). If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease, Landlord may accept or reject Tenant’s Lease Offer, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion. If Landlord accepts Tenant’s Lease Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord accepts Tenant’s Lease Offer, enter into a new lease on substantially the same terms as this Lease (as modified by applicable provisions in the Tenant’s Lease Offer), or an amendment to this Lease, incorporating the terms set forth in Tenant’s Lease Offer (and such other terms as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant). Failure of Tenant to so elect to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease within such ten (10) 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 Offer to Lease.
(c) Failure to Exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease. If Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease, or if Landlord rejects Tenant’s Lease Offer, Landlord may lease such space in the Building on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion which in the aggregate are not materially more favorable to the new tenant. The burden of proving the transaction is materially more favorable is upon Tenant.
(d) Limitations on Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage encumbering the Property. Tenant shall execute any document for the sole purpose of confirming the provisions of this Section required by a Mortgagee.
(e) Non Assignable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right to exercise the Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Lease is personal to the tenant named herein and shall terminate upon any assignment of this Lease to any party.

This LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this the                      day of                                         , by and between BOYER SOUTH SALT LAKE ASSOCIATES, LTD., a Utah limited partnership (the “Landlord”), and C SQUARE EDUCATIONAL ENTERPRISES, INC., a Utah corporation (the “Tenant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement, dated October 21, 2009 (as amended, the “Lease”) pursuant to which Tenant agreed to lease the Leased Premises (as defined in the Lease) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have their meaning set forth in the Lease.
WHEREAS, Landlord is in the process of completing certain improvements required for the Leased Premises.
WHEREAS, Tenant desires to enter upon the Leased Premises to perform certain administrative interview and recruiting functions for Tenant’s business (the “Licensed Use”).
WHEREAS, Landlord has agreed to permit Tenant to enter the Property for the purposes of the Licensed Use upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT:
1 Entry on Property.
(a) Tenant, its agents, servants, employees and contractors (the “Tenant’s Agents”) are hereby granted a revocable license to enter onto the first floor of the Leased Premises for purposes of the Licensed Use. Tenant’s and Tenant’s Agent’s shall work in harmony with Landlord and will not interfere with the performance by Landlord of the improvements being constructed by Landlord (the “Landlord Improvements”). Tenant and Landlord shall work in good faith to coordinate the staging of Landlord’s completion of the Landlord Improvements and Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises for the Licensed Use; provided, however, any conflict in staging shall be resolved in favor of Landlord’s completion of the Landlord Improvements. If at any such time the access granted to Tenant and Tenant’s Agents pursuant to this Agreement causes or threatens to cause disharmony or interference, including labor disharmony, Landlord shall have the right to permanently or temporarily revoke such license, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, upon three (3) days written notice to Tenant.

 

I-1


 

(b) Any entry on the Leased Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents shall be at Tenant’s risk. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless and defend Landlord for, from, and against any loss, injury, cost, liability, or expense to person or property arising out of Tenant’s exercise of the rights granted by this Agreement, including without limitation, any loss, injury, cost, liability or expense to person or the Leased Premises arising out of Tenant’s or Tenant’s Agent’s use of the Leased Premises for the Licensed Use. The indemnity set forth in the previous sentence shall survive the termination of the Lease and the cancellation of this Agreement.
(c) Landlord shall have no obligation to prepare the Leased Premises for Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Agreement. Any improvements done by Tenant to prepare the Leased Premises for the Licensed Use shall be done pursuant to lien free construction and only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All of Tenant’s improvements shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion. All of Tenant’s improvements shall be performed and done strictly in accordance with all laws, rules, regulations and ordinances relating thereto.
(d) In the event the Lease is terminated for any reason other than an event of default by Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to seek any reimburse or contribution for any of Tenant’s improvements and such improvements shall be the property of Landlord, Tenant for itself and any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, hereby waiving any claims to such improvements; provided, however, if the Lease is terminated, and such termination is not as a result of a default by Landlord, Landlord may elect to cause Tenant to remove all or a portion of such improvements at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall restore the Landlord Improvements to their original condition. If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging the same shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
(e) Should any mechanic’s or other lien be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, including, without limitation, the performance of Tenant’s improvements, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord. In addition, upon the reasonable request of Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, deliver mechanics lien waivers to Landlord from all of Tenant’s Agents. If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in this subsection within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging the same shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

(i) A non-reporting form completed value builder’s risk insurance upon any of tenant’s improvements and Landlord’s Improvements;
(ii) Public liability insurance for damage for injury to persons or property occurring in respect of the Tenant’s operations on the Leased Premises; and
(iii) Such other insurance reasonably required by Landlord or its lenders.
All such insurance shall apply to the Leased Premises and all operations of the business operated by Tenant and Tenant’s Agents. Such policy shall name Landlord as an additional insured and shall provide that coverage for the additional insured is primary and not contributory with other insurance. The policy shall not be cancelled or materially changed without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days’ written notice. Prior to accessing the Leased Premises pursuant to the licensed granted by this Agreement, Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall deliver evidence to Landlord, satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, that Tenant and Tenant’s Agents have obtained and are maintaining the insurance required by this Agreement. In the event Tenant or Tenant’s Agents are not maintaining all or any portion of the insurance required by this Agreement, Landlord may elect to terminate the license granted to Tenant pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that doing so will not violate or invalidate any applicable insurance coverage, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to recover against each other, against any other tenant or occupant of the Building and against the officers, directors shareholders, partners, joint venturers, employees, agents, customers, invitees or business visitors of each other or of any other tenant or occupant of the Building, for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by any insurance carried by the waiving party, to the extent that such loss or damage is actually covered and such waiver will not invalidate any applicable insurance coverage.
(g) Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of any utilities consumed by Tenant while using the Leased Premises pursuant to this Agreement.
