For and in consideration of the rental to be paid by tenant and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Leased Premises (as hereafter defined), at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth.

 

I. PREMISES

 

1.1 Description of Premises. Landlord does hereby demise, lease and let unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby take and receive from Landlord the following:

The Building to be constructed is described on the Plans and Specifications attached as Exhibit “B.”

 

(b) Such non-exclusive 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.

 

(c) The exclusive right to use Two Hundred Fifty (250) designated stalls in the parking structure under the building for which Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $25,023 per month and shall be subject to annual adjustments as specified in Section 1.3 of the Lease.

 

1.2 Work of Improvement. The obligation of Landlord and Tenant to perform the work and supply the necessary materials and labor to prepare the Leased Premises for occupancy are described in detail on Exhibit “C”. 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 Construction of Shell Building. Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, construct and complete a two story 70,331 gross rentable square foot building and cause all of the construction which is to be performed by it in completing the Building and performing its work (including the Tenant Finish work) as set forth on Exhibit “C”, to be substantially completed as evidenced by a Certificate of Occupancy, and the Leased Premises ready for Tenant’s occupancy as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than November 1, 2006 (“Target Date”). In the event that Landlord’s construction obligation has not been fulfilled upon the expiration of the “Target Date”, Tenant shall have the right to exercise any right or remedy available to it under this Lease, including the right to terminate this Lease and the right to charge Landlord and cause Landlord to pay any increased costs associated with Tenant’s current leases due to holding over in such space or moving to temporary space; provided that under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant resulting from delay in construction covered by circumstances beyond Landlord’s direct control.

 

1.4 Construction of Leased Premises. Upon completion of Tenant Finish plans as contemplated by Exhibit “C,” Landlord shall provide a budget for Tenant’s approval prior to the commencement of construction of the Leased Premises (see Exhibit “E”). Landlord shall itemize each part of the construction and its associated estimated cost. Tenant shall be obligated for all costs shown on Exhibit “E”. Upon acceptance by Tenant of the budget, Landlord shall construct in accordance with Exhibit “C” all items pertaining to the Tenant Finish, including the obligation to pay for all cost changes not initiated by Tenant.

 

II. TERM

 

2.1 Length of Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of fifteen (15) years 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; Obligation to Pay Rent. The term of this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on the first to occur of the following dates (“Commencement Date”):

 

(a) The date Tenant occupies the Premises and conducts business.

 

(b) The date fifteen (15) days after the Landlord, or Landlord’s supervising contractor, notified Tenant in writing that Landlord’s construction obligations respecting the Leased Premises have been fulfilled and/or that the Leased Premises are ready for

 

2


occupancy and/or performance of Tenant’s work. Such notice shall be accompanied by an occupancy permit and a certificate from the Building Architect stating that remaining punch list items can be completed within fifteen (15) days and will not materially interfere with Tenant’s business. Prior to Commencement Date, it is contemplated that Tenant shall be able to perform its construction obligation as per Exhibit C II(H).

 

2.3 Option to Extend. Landlord grants Tenant the right to extend this Lease for two additional periods of five years each by giving Landlord 6 months prior written notice. All terms and conditions of the Lease during the extension terms shall remain the same, with the exception the new Basic Annual Rent for each renewal period shall be Fair Market Rental (as defined herein).

 

For purposes of this Section 2.3, Fair Market Rental shall mean the rental rate for premises then being leased in other comparable first class multi-story office buildings in University of Utah Research Park and said rate shall take into account all relevant facts and circumstances including but not limited to the term, prevailing rents, tenant improvement contributions and other concessions and shall take into account any brokerage commissions payable in connection with such leases.

 

2.4 Acknowledgment of Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgment of the commencement Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D”.

 

III. BASIC RENTAL PAYMENTS

 

3.1 Basic Annual Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as basic annual rent (the “Basic Annual Rent”) at such place as Landlord may designate, without prior demand therefore and without any deduction or set off whatsoever, the sum of One Million Two Hundred Seventy Thousand One Hundred Eighty and no/100 (1,270,180.00). Said Basic Annual Rent shall be due and payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments to be paid in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term of the Lease. Basic Annual Rent shall escalate at the beginning of the fourth year and every three (3) years thereafter using either a 3% annually compounded rate or the change in the All Urban Index, whichever is less (each such anniversary being referred to as an “adjustment date”). For purposes of this Lease the term “All Urban Index” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers-U.S. City Average-all Items (1982-1984 equals 100 base) as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor agency or any other index hereinafter employed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in lieu of said index. The price index for the third month preceding the month in which the Lease commences shall be considered the Basic Price Index. Therefore, the beginning of the fourth year and every three years thereafter, the Basic Annual Rent set forth in this Section 3.1 shall be adjusted by multiplying such rental by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Price Index for the third month preceding the beginning of the anniversary (or each such adjustment date) and the denominator of which is the Basic Price Index.

 

3


In no event shall Basic Annual Rent be reduced. 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 rental (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 to Landlord in the case of a default in the payment of one or more installments of Basic Annual Rent.

 

IV. ADDITIONAL RENT

 

4.1 Basic Annual Rent. It is the intent of both parties that the Basic Annual Rent herein specified shall be absolutely net to the Landlord throughout the term of this Lease, and that all costs, expenses and obligations relating to Tenant’s pro-rata share of the Building, Property and/or Building, Property and/or 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 Part IV and the Lease in general, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

(a) “Basic Costs” shall mean all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, management and maintenance of the Building and Property and related improvements located thereon (the “Improvements”), including, but not limited to, all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s compliance with any and all of its obligations under this Lease other than the performance by Landlord of its work under Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 of this Lease or similar provisions of leases with other tenants. In explanation of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, Basic Costs shall include: all real and personal property taxes and assessments (whether general or special, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen) and any tax or assessment levied or charged in lieu thereof, whether assessed against Landlord and/or Tenant and whether collected from Landlord and/or Tenant; snow removal, trash removal, supplies, insurance, license, permit and inspection fees, cost of services of independent contractors, cost of compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with day-to-day operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Building, its equipment and the adjacent walk, and landscaped area (including, but

Basic Costs shall not include expenses incurred in connection with leasing, renovating, or improving space for tenant, expenses incurred for repairs resulting from damage by fire, windstorm or other casualty, to the extent such repairs are paid for by insurance proceeds, expenses paid by any tenant directly to third parties, or as to which Landlord is otherwise reimbursed by any third party or Tenant; expenses which, by generally accepted accounting principles, are treated as capital items except that if, as a result of governmental requirements, laws or regulations, Landlord shall expend monies directly or indirectly for improvements, additions or alterations to the Building which, by generally accepted accounting principles, are treated as a capital expenditures, the amortization of such capital expenditures based on a life acceptable to the appropriate taxing authority together with interest at the rate of 9% per annum shall be considered Basic Costs. The foregoing notwithstanding, Basic Costs shall not include depreciation on the Building and Tenant Finish; amounts paid toward principal or interest of loans of Landlord; nor shall Basic Costs include “Direct Costs” as defined in Section 4.1(b) below.

 

(b) “Direct Costs” shall mean all actual costs and expense incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, maintenance, replacement, and repair of tenants’ premises, including but not limited to janitorial services (if Landlord is responsible to provide this service), maintenance, repairs, supplies, utilities, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and property management fees, which property management fees shall be equal to a percentage of Tenant’s Basic Annual Rent and Estimated Costs including electricity, which percentage shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the sum of Basic Annual Rent, Estimated Costs and cost of electricity for the Leased Premises.

 

(c) “Estimated Costs” shall mean the projected amount of Tenant’s Direct Costs and Basic Costs, excluding the costs of electricity provided to Tenant’s Leased Premises. The Estimated Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease commences are $307,800, and are not included in the Basic Annual Rent. If the Estimated Costs as of the date Tenant takes occupancy are greater than Tenant’s Estimated Costs at the time this Lease is executed, the Estimated Costs shall be increased to equal the Estimated Costs as of the date of Tenant’s occupancy.

 

(d) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Costs” shall mean the percentage derived from the fraction, the numerator of which is the gross rentable square footage of the Lease Premises (70,331), the denominator of which is the

 

5


gross rentable square footage of the building (70,331). In this Lease, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Costs shall be 100% of the Basic Costs for the Leased Premises.

 

4.2 Report of Basic Costs and Statement of Estimated Costs.

 

(a) After the expiration of each calendar year occurring during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Costs (Section 4.1(d)) and the Tenant’s Direct Costs occurring during the previous calendar year. The written statement shall specify the amount by which Tenant’s Direct Costs and Basic Costs exceed or are less than the amounts paid by Tenant during the previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.3(b) below.

 

(b) At the same time specified in Section 4.2(a) above, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement of the Estimated Costs for the then current calendar year.

 

4.3 Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay as additional rent (“Additional Rent”) Tenant’s Direct Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Costs. The Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:

 

(a) 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 as defined in Section 4.1(c).

 

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the written statement referred to in section 4.2(a) above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which Tenant’s Direct Costs and Basic Costs, as specified in such written statements, exceed and aggregate of Estimated Costs actually paid by Tenant for the year at issue. Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord’s books upon reasonable notice. Tenant shall pay costs associated with the audit unless Tenant finds that Landlord has inflated expenses by more than ten percent (10%), in which case, Landlord will pay audit charges. Payments by Tenant shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) notwithstanding that a statement pursuant to Section 4.2(a) is furnished to Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease.

 

(c) If the annual statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant pursuant to subsection (b) above for any year exceeded Tenant’s actual Direct Costs and Basic Costs for the same year, Landlord, at its election, shall either (i) promptly pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (ii) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder.

4.4 Resolution of Disagreement. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. If such dispute shall not have been settled by agreement, the parties hereto shall submit the dispute to arbitration within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of statement. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, pay Additional Rent in accordance with Landlord’s statement, and such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If the dispute shall be determined in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of rents resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement, including interest on disputed amounts at prime plus two percent (2%). Landlord agrees to grant Tenant reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records for the purpose of verifying Basic Costs and Direct Costs for operating expenses incurred by Landlord.

 

4.5 Limitations. Nothing contained in this Part IV shall be construed at any time so as to reduce the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent payable hereunder below the amount set forth in Section 3.1 of this Lease.

Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to verify that such person referred by Tenant could better or more economically provide the contracted for management and/or maintenance services for the Building and/or Property, then upon such verification, Landlord agrees to contract with and substitute such person to provide such service.

8.4 Alterations. Tenant shall not make or cause to be made any alterations, additions or improvements or install or cause to be installed any fixtures, signs, floor coverings, interior or exterior lighting, plumbing fixtures, or shades or awnings, or make any other changes to the Leased Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If there is an agreement to allow removal, such items which are the subject of agreement shall be listed on Exhibit F which agreement, as may be revised by the parties from time to time, shall be made a part of this Lease. The parties have agreed as to the items 1 through 8 listed on Exhibit F.

IX. ASSIGNMENT

 

9.1 Assignment Prohibited. Tenant shall not transfer, assign, mortgage, or hypothecate this Lease, in whole or in part, or permit the use of the Leased Premises by any person or persons other than Tenant, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided sufficient information is provided to Landlord to accurately represent the financial condition of those to whom this Lease will be transferred, assigned, mortgaged, or hypothecated. Such prohibition against assigning or subletting shall include any assignment or subletting by operation of law. Any transfer of this Lease from the Tenant by merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or liquidation shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Lease. In the event that Tenant hereunder is a corporation, an unincorporated association, or a partnership, the transfer, assignment, or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Section. The above prohibition of assignment will not apply in the case of a registered offering of shares by Tenant or the public trading of registered shares subsequent to an initial offering.

 

9.2 Consent Required.

 

(a) Any assignment or subletting without Landlord’s consent shall be void, and shall constitute a default hereunder which, at the option of Landlord, shall result in the termination of this Lease or exercise of Landlord’s other remedies hereunder. Consent to any assignment or subletting shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon any person holding by, under, or through Tenant.

 

(b) Landlord shall have no obligation to consent to the proposed sublease or assignment if the proposed sublessee or assignee or its business is or may be subject to compliance with additional requirements of the law, including any related rules or regulations, commonly known as the “Americans with Disabilities Act of l990” or similar state or local laws relating to persons with disabilities beyond those requirements which are applicable to the tenant desiring to so sublease or assign”.

 

9.3 Landlord’s Right in Event of Assignment. If this Lease is assigned or if the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are sublet or occupied by any person other than the Tenant, Landlord may collect rent and other charges from such assignee or other party, and apply the amount collected to the rent and other charges reserved hereunder, but such collection shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of consent to such assignment, subleasing, or other transfer, nor shall such collection constitute the

 

12


recognition of such assignee, sublessee, or other party as the Tenant hereunder or a release of Tenant from the further performance of all of the covenants and obligations, including obligation to pay rent, of Tenant herein contained. In the event that Landlord shall consent to a sublease or assignment hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord reasonable fees, not to exceed $100.00, incurred in connection with processing of documents necessary to the giving of such consent. In the event Landlord consents to the assignment as provided by paragraph 9.1, then Tenant shall be released from further performance of any covenant and obligation under this Lease.

 

9.4 Tenant’s Right to Assign. For purposes of this Section 9.4, the term “Leases” means this Lease and the following three (3) lease agreements: (i) that certain Lease Agreement dated October 12, 1995 between Boyer-Foothill Associates, Ltd., as Landlord, and Tenant; and (ii) that certain Lease Agreement dated March 1, 1998 between Landlord and Tenant, and (iii) that certain Lease Agreement dated March 31, 2001 between Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to assign its entire right, title and interest as tenant under all of the Leases to the University of Utah (the “University”), without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment and shall provide Landlord with copies of all documents, agreements and instruments related to the assignment. In the event of an assignment of the Tenant’s rights and obligations to the University, and subject to obtaining the written agreement by the University to assume and perform all of the obligations of Tenant under the Leases (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord), Landlord shall recognize the University as the successor to Tenant under this Lease and such written agreement shall accomplish the release of Tenant of and from the further performance of any and all covenants and obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to assign its entire right, title and interest as tenant under all of the Leases to an entity or person which proposes to use the Leased Premises for purposes which are consistent with all covenants, rules, conditions and reversions governing the Research Park, whose net worth is equal to or greater than that of Tenant at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease and whose credit worthiness is equal to or better than that of Tenant’s creditworthiness at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease (a “Creditworthy Successor Tenant”), subject to the Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In connection with such request, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with all information reasonably required to evaluate the net worth or creditworthiness of the proposed assignee and copies of all documents, agreements and instruments relating to the proposed assignment. In the event of an assignment of Tenant’s rights and obligations to a Creditworthy Successor Tenant as contemplated herein, and subject to obtaining the written agreement o the assignee to assume and perform all of the obligations of Tenant under the Leases, landlord shall recognize such assignee as the successor to Tenant under this lease and such written agreement shall accomplish the release of Tenant of and from the further performance of any and all covenants and obligations under this Lease.

 

13


X. INDEMNITY

 

10.1 Indemnification. Tenant and Landlord shall indemnify each other and save each other harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, damage and claims, liability and expense in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury, or property damage arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at or from the Leased Premises, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or Landlord, their agents, contractors, employees, servants, invitees, licensees or concessionaires. All insurance policies carried by Tenant and Landlord shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement which specifies that the insurance carrier(s) will waive any right of subrogation against Tenant and/or Landlord arising out of any insurance claim.

 

10.2 Release of Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable at any time for any loss or damage to Tenant’s personal property or to Tenant’s business. Tenant shall store its property in and shall use and enjoy the Leased Premises and all other portions of the Building and Improvements at its own risk, and hereby releases Landlord, to the full extent permitted by law, from all claims of every kind resulting in loss of life, personal or bodily injury, or property damage.

 

10.3 Notice. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Leased Premises or in the Building of which the Leased Premises are a part or of defects therein or in any fixtures or equipment.

 

10.4 Litigation. In case Landlord, without fault on its part, shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

XI. INSURANCE

 

11.1 Fire and “All Risk” Insurance on Tenant’s Personal Property and Fixtures. At all times during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall keep in force at its sole cost and expense, fire insurance and “All Risk” insurance (including vandalism and malicious mischief) equal to the replacement cost of Tenant Finish, Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and contents upon the Leased Premises and all improvements or additions made by Tenant to the Leased Premises. The Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on all such policies.

 

11.2 Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, during the entire term hereof, keep in full force and effect a policy of public liability and property damage insurance to include contractual coverage with respect to the Leased Premises and the business operated by Tenant in the Leased Premises, with a combined single limit for personal or bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000.00. The policy shall name Landlord,

 

14


any person, firms, or corporations designated by Landlord, and Tenant as insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or materially change the insurance pertaining to the Leased Premises without first giving Landlord ten (10) days written notice. Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof provide Landlord with evidence of current insurance coverage. All public liability, property damage, and other liability policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with coverage which Landlord may carry.

 

11.3 Property Coverage. Landlord shall obtain and maintain in force an “all-risk type” or equivalent policy form, and shall include fire, theft, extended coverages, vandalism and malicious mischief on the Building during the Lease period and any extension thereof. At the Landlord’s discretion coverage for flood and earthquake may be obtained if commercially available at reasonable rates. Such insurance shall also include coverage against loss of rental income. Tenant shall pay Landlord as an expense covered in Basic Costs the cost to purchase the insurance called for in this paragraph.

 

11.4 Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord each waive its right of subrogation against each other for any reason whatsoever.

 

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 insured against under any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Landlord shall, upon receipt of the insurance proceeds, repair the Leased Premises and until repair is complete the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (a) the Leased Premises by reason of such occurrence are rendered wholly untenantable, or (b) the Leased Premises should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by insurance, or (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, or (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, then and in any such events, Landlord may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation within Ninety (90) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. Tenant’s liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the day following Landlord’s giving notice of cancellation. In the event Landlord elects to repair any damage, any abatement of rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to

 

15


Tenant that the Leased Premises have been repaired. If the damage is caused by the negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, or concessionaires, there shall be no abatement of rent. Unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord, Tenant shall repair and refixture the interior of the Leased Premises to the extent of the Tenant Finish in a manner and in at least a condition equal to that existing prior to the destruction or casualty.

 

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 proceeding.

 

13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and such partial taking shall render that portion not so taken unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as aforesaid. If such partial taking is not extensive enough to render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, 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 and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Building in which the Leased Premises are located, provided that Landlord shall not be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Leased Premises to taken. “Amount received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the award in condemnation which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgage lenders for the value of the diminished fee.

 

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.

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, although Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award, to claim from the condemnor, but not from the Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damages to Tenant Finish, Tenant’s business and fixtures or equipment.

 

13.5 Definition. As used in this Part XIII 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.

 

16


XIV. LANDLORD’S RIGHTS TO CURE

 

14.1 General Right. In the event of breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder by Landlord, 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 registered mail, transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) day period said lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach default, or noncompliance involved (including, but not limited to, commencement and prosecution of proceedings to foreclose or otherwise exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security instrument, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being diligently pursued by said lender.

 

14.2 Mechanic’s Lien. Should any mechanic’s or other lien be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the effect of the same to be cancelled and discharged or bonded over or otherwise within ten (10) days after written notice by Landlord.

 

XV. FINANCING; SUBORDINATION

 

15.1 Subordination. Tenant acknowledges that it might be necessary for Landlord or its successors or assigns to secure mortgage loan financing or refinancing affecting the Leased Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that the lender interested in any given loan may desire that Tenant’s interest under this Lease be either superior or subordinate to the mortgage then held or to be taken by said Lender. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that at the request of Landlord at any time and from time to time Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, whereby Tenant subordinates its interest under this Lease and in the Leased

 

17


Premises to such of the following encumbrances as may be specified by Landlord: Any mortgage or trust deed and customary related instruments are herein collectively referred to merely as a “Mortgage” and securing a loan obtained by Landlord or its successors or assigns for the purpose of enabling acquisition of the Building and/or construction of additional improvements to provide permanent financing for the Building, or for the purpose of refinancing any such construction, acquisition, standing or permanent loan. Provided, however, that any such instrument or subordination executed by Tenant shall provide that so long as Tenant continues to perform all of its obligations under this Lease its tenancy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Landlord’s default in connection with the Mortgage concerned or any resulting foreclosure or sale or transfer in lieu of such proceedings. Tenant shall not subordinate its interests hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien or encumbrance other than the Mortgages described in and specified pursuant to this Section 15.1 without the prior written consent of Landlord and of the lender interested under each mortgage then affecting the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

 

15.2 Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease and also Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor and assigns and shall recognize such successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract.

 

15.3 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide financial information sufficient to verify to Landlord 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. Any financial information provided by Tenant shall beheld in confidence and distributed only to Landlord’s investors or lenders for the Leased Premises.

 

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 Estimated Costs or any other sum due hereunder within ten (10) days after Tenant receives written notice of rent due.

 

 

18


(b) Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or, if cure would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the thirty (30) day period or fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion.

 

(c) Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for or enters into an arrangement; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of execution.

 

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 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 Premises, all costs of reletting, and arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency arising from reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.

 

16.3 Past Due Sums; Penalty. If Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any Basic Annual Rent, Estimated Costs and electrical charges within ten (10) days after the same is due and payable, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above the prime rate of interest charged by Zions Bank, Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of two percent (2%) of such unpaid amounts as a service fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord’s right concerning such interest and service fee shall be limited by the maximum amount which may properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable law.

 

XVII. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE

 

17.1 Surrender of Premises. At the expiration of this Lease, except for changes made by Tenant that were approved by Landlord, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition, less reasonable wear and tear, as they were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease and shall deliver all keys to Landlord. Before surrendering the Leased Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its personal property including, but not limited to, those items showing on Exhibit “F” and trade fixtures and

 

19


such property or the removal thereof shall in no way damage the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and damages incurred in the removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property and fixtures upon the expiration of this Lease, the same shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.

 

17.2 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any renewal term shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at such rates as Landlord may designate and on the terms herein specified so far as possible. Landlord may not in any event raise the rent above 110% of the last month’s rent.

 

XVIII. ATTORNEYS’ FEES

 

In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or the Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party.

 

XIX. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

 

19.1 Landlord’s Right to 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”, in recordable form: (1) ratifying this Lease; (2) expressing the Commencement Date and termination date hereof; (3) certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (4) that, if true, all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied; (5) that there are no defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord, or stating those claimed by Tenant; (6) the amount of advance rental, if any, (or none if such is the case) paid by Tenant; (7) the date to which rental has been paid; (8) the amount of security deposited with Landlord; and (9) such 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 within fifteen (15) days after request therefore shall be deemed a default hereunder and moreover, it shall be conclusively presumed that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification in accordance with the terms set forth in the request; (b) that there are no unusual breaches or defaults on the part of the Landlord; and (c) no more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance.

 

20


XX. PARKING

 

Automobiles of Tenant and all visitors associated with Tenant shall be parked only within parking areas designated by Landlord for parking. 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 except due to Landlord’s negligence.

 

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 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 obtaining the proper authorization from Salt Lake County prior to installing. Tenant will otherwise be free to install signage of its choice.

 

XXII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

22.1 No Partnership. Landlord does not by this Lease, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner or joint venturer of Tenant in the conduct of its business or otherwise.

 

22.2 Force Majeure. Landlord 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 Landlord’s control, including labor disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or service, or acts of God.

 

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 by Landlord or Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.

 

22.4 Notice. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be (i) given by facsimile, (ii) delivered in person or (iii) 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, and (b) if to Tenant, either at the Leased Premises or at any other current address for Tenant which is known to Landlord. Either party may designate such other address as shall be given by written notice or by facsimile transmission.

All Exhibits, riders, or addenda mentioned in this Lease are incorporated herein by reference. 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. 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.

CONSTRUCTION AND/OR FINISHING OF

IMPROVEMENTS TO LEASED PREMISES

 

In accordance with the provisions of the body of the Lease to which this Exhibit “C” is attached, the improvements to the Leased Premises shall be constructed and/or finished (as the case may be) in the manner described, and upon all of the terms and conditions contained in the following portion of this Exhibit “C”.

 

I. CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE I BUILDING (“THE BUILDING”) :

 

A. Landlord agrees to erect at its sole cost and expense, the Building described on Exhibit “B.” Landlord shall build-out and finish the Leased Premises according to Tenant’s plans and specifications at Tenant’s cost and expense. The Building and the Leased Premises shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, with any change orders thereto approved by Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises pursuant to Article B below, and in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. Preliminary Plans shall provide for a completely finished building, of a type and quality that is consistent with newly constructed first-class office buildings in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, and shall include site plans showing all driveways, sidewalks, parking areas that provide parking in an amount equal to two and 50/100 (2.50) cars for every 1,000 Usable Square Feet in the Building, landscaping and other site improvements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Preliminary Plans shall provide for a two (2) story building containing 70,331 rentable square feet of space and shall be generally consistent with the conceptual plans and drawings attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein (the “Conceptual Drawings”). The build-out and interior finish work within the Leased Premises shall be in accordance with plans and specifications that shall be prepared by Landlord’s architect, Architectural Nexus Architects, and engineers (“Tenant Finish Plans”). Tenant Finish Plans shall be prepared in accordance with the time periods set forth to meet a November 1, 2006 Target Date. The Target Date shall be extended by any period of Tenant’s delay in providing decisions that need to be made in connection with the preparation of Tenant Finish Plans.

 

B. Tenant may make changes to Final Plans only if Tenant signs a change order requesting the change and then only if Landlord approves the change by signing the change order, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing, within five (5) business days of Tenant’s change order request, of its approval or detailed reason of its disapproval of such change order and a good faith estimate of the actual cost of such change order and any delay to the Target Date or in achieving substantial completion that would result there from. Tenant may, within five (5) business days of its receipt of such estimate, elect to rescind its request for such change order upon written notice to Landlord. Landlord may require changes in Final Plans only if Landlord and Tenant sign a

 

C-1


change order. The cost of any change orders that are necessary to comply with applicable building codes and other laws shall be borne by Landlord, unless such change orders are necessitated only because of (1) other change orders requested by Tenant; (2) Tenant Finish Plans; (3) changes to Tenant Finish Plans; or (4) Tenant’s early occupancy to the Building prior to substantial completion of Landlord’s Work. Any change order shall be effective only when set forth on a written change order executed by Landlord, Tenant, and the Base Building General Contractor. By approving a change order, Tenant and Landlord shall agree to a delay in Substantial Completion and to the Target Date, as specified therein, if any.

 

Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written list of Tenant’s authorized construction representatives for Landlord’s Work. Only such construction representatives are authorized to sign any change order, receipt, or other document on behalf of Tenant related to Landlord’s Work, and without the signature of any one of such authorized construction representatives, no such document shall be binding upon Tenant. Tenant may, from time to time, change or add to the list of authorized construction representatives by giving Landlord written notice of the addition or change. Landlord’s authorized representative shall be B. Greg Gardner, and until changed by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, only B. Greg Gardner shall be authorized to sign change orders, receipts, or other documents on behalf of Landlord related to Landlord’s Work.

 

C. The Building Work shall be performed by a general contractor selected by Landlord (the “Base Building General Contractor”).

 

D. Landlord will cause Contractor to provide, at Contractor’s expense, an Owner’s Protective Liability (OPL) Policy acceptable to Tenant. The Owner’s Protective Liability Policy shall name Myriad Genetics, Inc. as the Named Insured. The policy will be provided by an insurance company rated A, Class XV or better by Best’s Key Rating Guide system. The policy will maintain a limit of liability of not less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00). Such insurance policy must be in force prior to the commencement of construction operation of any kind. The Contractor will also insure the Building at Contractor’s expense during the course of construction in an amount equal to or greater than the value of the construction. Insurance coverage shall be provided by an insurance company rated A, Class XV or better by Best’s Key Rating Guide system. Insurance coverage shall be provided on a coverage form equal to or more comprehensive than Insurance Services Office (U.S.A.) Special form. Such insurance policy must be in force prior to construction operations of any kind.

 

II. TENANT FINISH PLANS :

 

A. Landlord shall cause Architectural Nexus Architects (the “Architect”) to prepare plans and specifications for the interior improvement of the Building and the Leased Premises as necessary to render the Leased Premises in first-class condition and suitable for the conduct of Tenant’s business (such improvement being referred to herein as the “Tenant Finish”). Landlord shall require the Architect to meet periodically with Tenant in connection with the preparation of the plans and, upon Landlord’s approval thereof (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), to incorporate Tenant’s requested features and specifications into the plans. Landlord shall submit a complete draft of the plans to Tenant by June 15, 2006 (the “Base

 

C-2


Line Date”). Tenant shall within seven (7) days after the plans are submitted to them, either approve the plans in writing or submit to Landlord a written itemization of all objections which Tenant may have to the plans. If Tenant approves the plans, the plans shall be deemed final. If Tenant submits to Landlord a written itemization of objections to the plans, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction. If Landlord and Tenant are able to resolve all of Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction, then Landlord and Tenant shall each approve the plans as modified to incorporate the resolution of Tenant’s objections and the plans as so modified shall be deemed final.

 

B. Changes to Plans . After the plans are deemed final, the plans shall not be subject to further change except as provided under this Paragraph. If either Landlord or Tenant desires any change to the plans after they are deemed final, it shall submit to the other for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) a proposed change order, in writing, setting forth the change. Thereupon the other party shall either approve the proposed change order or notify the party submitting the proposed change order of its reason for withholding such approval, within two (2) business days after receipt of the proposed change order for approval. Without limiting the reasons for which approval of any proposed change order may be reasonably withheld, approval shall be deemed to have been reasonably withheld if the proposed change (1) would result in additional construction maintenance repair or replacement costs which could not be fully borne by the party proposing the change, (2) would result in a violation of any applicable law, regulation, ordinance or code, or (3) in the case of a change proposed by Landlord would materially reduce the usable area of the Building or would materially adversely affect the aesthetics of the Leased Premises or the usability thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Upon approval of any proposed change order pursuant to this Paragraph, Landlord shall cause the plans and construction contracts to be modified or amended as necessary to reflect such change order.

 

B. Landlord’s Construction Responsibilities . Landlord shall be fully responsible for the installation and construction of Tenant Finish, including, without limitation, the following: (1) the obtaining of all building and sign permits, licenses and other approvals required to construct the Tenant Finish; (2) the management and supervision of all architects, contractors, subcontractors and material providers participating in the construction of the Tenant Finish; (3) all necessary coordination with governmental entities having jurisdiction over the Lease Premises and utility companies; (4) enforcement of construction contracts; (5) security with respect to the Leased Premises during the construction period; (6) quality control and inspection of work; (7) construction clean up and refuse disposal; (8) construction timetables and deadlines as necessary to comply with the Lease; (9) compliance with applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and codes; and (10) all other matters relating to the construction of the Tenant Finish, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease. Landlord represents and covenants that upon the completion of the Tenant Finish, the Leased Premises shall conform to the Tenant Finish Plans and shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and codes, including, without limitation, applicable building codes and environmental laws. Tenant shall be entitled at any time during the construction period to inspect the construction of the Tenant Finish, provided that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with the construction of the Tenant Finish. No failure of Tenant to conduct such inspections or to discover or assert any defect in connection therewith shall

 

C-3


constitute a waiver by Tenant of, or preclude Tenant from thereafter asserting, any rights it may have with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant made by Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises or the Tenant Finish.

 

D. Construction Contracts . Landlord shall act as general contractor with respect to, or install and construct using its own personnel, all or portions of the Tenant Finish, provided, however, Landlord shall contract with and use licensed, qualified and reputable companies or persons for the performance of all such work to the extent Landlord is not licensed and fully qualified to perform the same. Landlord shall be entitled to select all contractors and material providers to perform work with respect to the Tenant Improvements which Landlord does not elect to perform directly and to negotiate the terms and conditions of the contracts with such contractors and material providers. Notwithstanding Paragraphs C and D, Tenant may choose its own contractor to perform Landlord’s work pursuant to Paragraphs C and D.

 

E. Warranty . Unless Tenant substitutes the contractor pursuant to Paragraph D above, Landlord warrants to Tenant for one (1) year after the Commencement Date of the Lease, that Tenant Finish shall be completed by Landlord in a good and workmanlike manner, free from faulty materials, in accordance with all applicable legal requirements, and sound engineering standards, and in accordance with the Final Plans and Tenant Finish Plans. Such warranty includes, without limitation, the repair or replacement (including labor), for one (1) year at Landlord’s sole cost, of all materials, fixtures and equipment which are defective or which are defectively installed by Landlord or its agents in connection with Landlord’s Work. In addition, Landlord shall obtain manufacturer’s warranties, including, without limitation, for air conditioner, compressors, and the roof of the Building.

 

F. Commencement Date Agreement . When the Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute Exhibit D (attached) expressly confirming the Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Initial Term of this Lease and confirming, to the best knowledge of Tenant and Landlord, that Substantial Completion has occurred.

 

G. Tenant’s Construction Obligations . Except as provided in paragraph C and D above, Tenant shall be fully responsible for the installation of all of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings or decorations, except to the extent such installation is contemplated or provided for in the Plans. Landlord shall provide Tenant reasonable access to the Leased Premises for such purposes.
