The Premises do not include, and Landlord reserves, the exterior walls and roof of the Premises, the land and other area beneath the floor of the Premises, the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, fixtures and equipment above the suspended ceiling of the Premises and the structural elements that serve the Premises or comprise the Building. Landlord’s reservation includes the right to install, inspect, maintain, use, repair, alter and replace those areas and items and to enter the Premises in order to do so. For all purposes of this Lease, the calculation of “usable square feet” and “rentable square feet” contained within the Premises and the Building shall be subject to final measurement and verification by Landlord’s architect according to ANSI/BOMA Standard Z65.1-2017 (or any successor standard), which shall be the sole and exclusive method used for the measurement and calculation of usable and rentable square feet under this Lease, and in the event of a variation, Landlord and Tenant shall amend this Lease accordingly, amending each provision that is based on usable or rentable square feet, including, without limitation, Basic Monthly Rent, the Security Deposit, Tenant’s Parking Stall Allocation, Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses and the TI Allowance.


* * * * *


        1.10.    “Security Deposit” means an amount equal to Basic Monthly Rent for the final calendar month of the then-current period constituting the Term (currently, $322,398.79), which amount is subject to adjustment as set forth in the definition of “Premises.”


    4.    Limit on Occupants; Parking. Paragraph 6 of the First Amendment is revised to read as follow (with all changes in italics and underlined):


6.    Limit on Occupants; Parking. Neither Tenant nor Tenant’s Occupants shall do anything that will increase the number of occupants in the Premises beyond one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the number of parking stalls allocated to Tenant in Tenant’s Parking Stall Allocation. If the number of occupants in the Premises exceeds the number of parking stalls allocated to Tenant in Tenant’s Parking Stall Allocation, then the automobiles of such excess occupants must be parked outside of the Property. On Landlord’s request, made not more often than quarterly, Tenant shall provide to Landlord statistics and reports regarding shift times and employee counts, and shall otherwise demonstrate to Landlord that Tenant is complying with the foregoing portion of this Paragraph.


    5.    Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance (the “TI Allowance”) in the amount of $859,355.00 ($35.00 x 24,553 usable square feet) for tenant improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) to be made by Landlord to any portion of the Premises, which may or may not include the Additional Space, as elected by Tenant. The TI Allowance may be used, without limitation, for space planning, architectural and engineering fees and permits related to the Tenant Improvements, and the Tenant Improvements shall include, without limitation, the installation of an exterior double door and the construction of related alterations to the curbing and sidewalk adjacent to such door as well as upgraded electrical and venting systems necessary for the Permitted Use. The Parties shall exert good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to agree as soon as reasonably practicable on the Tenant Improvements and a budget therefor. Such agreed on Tenant Improvements shall then be made by Landlord in accordance with such budget as soon as reasonably practicable after such agreement. The construction reasonably required to complete the Tenant Improvements shall not lessen or otherwise affect Tenant’s rent obligations under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvements, together with a project management fee of five percent (5%) of such costs and expenses, less the TI Allowance, within ten (10) days after the date of an invoice therefor, which invoice may, following the Parties’ agreement on such budget, be delivered prior to the commencement of construction. If all or any portion of the TI Allowance is not used on or before December 31, 2023, the TI Allowance or such portion that is not used shall be lost and shall no longer be available to Tenant.


    6.    Right of First Refusal. This Paragraph replaces any existing right of first refusal contained in the Lease.


        (a)    During the Term, and provided that (i) the Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period given to Tenant in the Lease, and (iii) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or subleased all or any portion of the Premises under any then-existing sublease (excluding any assignment or subleasing permitted without Landlord’s consent), if Suite 200 (the “ROFR Space”) located on the second floor of the Building, consisting of 7,178 usable square feet and 8,362 rentable square feet, is or becomes available for lease, and Landlord receives a

request for proposal from a tenant that Landlord desires to accept to lease the ROFR Space, or sends out (or has decided to send out) a bona fide proposal to a specific, bona fide prospective tenant to lease the ROFR Space, then Landlord shall give to Tenant notice (the “ROFR Notice”) that Landlord is willing to enter into a lease with Tenant of the ROFR Space. (For purposes of this Paragraph, any space covered by a renewal, extension or expansion option existing in any tenant’s lease as of the date of the Lease, any renewal or extension option given by Landlord to any then-existing tenant for its then-existing space, or any right of first offer or right of first refusal existing as of the date of the Lease, shall not be “available for lease” until after each such option or right has expired.)


(b)    If Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s interest in leasing the ROFR Space within three (3) business days after receipt of the ROFR Notice, the Parties shall enter into an amendment to the Lease covering the ROFR Space, which, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, shall (i) have a term that is coterminous with the Lease, (ii) provide for Basic Monthly Rent for the ROFR Space at the same rate, on a per rentable square foot basis, as is payable for the balance of the Premises during the period concerned, (iii) provide for a tenant improvement allowance for the ROFR Space on a per usable square foot basis, determined by multiplying $35.00 per usable square foot by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months left in the remaining Term as of the commencement date for the ROFR Space in which non-discounted Basic Monthly Rent is payable, and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar months in the original Term in which non-discounted Basic Monthly Rent is payable (sixty (60) months), and (iv) provide that the corridors and hallways located on the second floor will be deemed usable square footage.


        (c)    If either of the following occurs: (i) within such three (3) business-day period, Tenant either delivers notice to Landlord that Tenant elects not to lease the ROFR Space, or fails to deliver any response to Landlord; or (ii) Tenant fails to enter into an amendment to the Lease within ten (10) business days after Tenant delivers notice to Landlord that Tenant elects to lease the ROFR Space, adding the ROFR Space to the Lease in a manner consistent with this Paragraph 6, then such right of first refusal with respect to the ROFR Space shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.


    7.    Right of First Offer. This Paragraph is in addition to the right of first offer set forth in Paragraph 3 (Right of First Offer) of the Rider (the “Rider”) attached to the Lease, as modified by Paragraph 4 of the First Amendment. During the Term, and provided that (a) the Lease is in full force and effect, (b) Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period given to Tenant in the Lease, and (c) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or subleased all or any portion of the Premises under any then-existing sublease (excluding any assignment or subleasing permitted without Landlord’s consent, as described in Paragraph 2.3 of the Rider), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice if, but only if, (y) Suite 125 (the “ROFO Space”) located on the first floor of the Building and currently occupied by Knickerbockers Deli becomes available for lease to third parties, and (z) Landlord elects, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to lease the ROFO Space for office and not retail purposes. Unless both the foregoing subparagraphs (y) and (z) are satisfied, the right of first offer set forth in this Paragraph 7 shall not apply. If Tenant gives Landlord written notice of Tenant’s interest in leasing the ROFO Space within ten (10) business days after notification by Landlord of the availability of the ROFO Space and Landlord’s election to lease the ROFO Space for office and not retail purposes, the Parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to enter into a new lease (or an amendment to the Lease) covering the ROFO Space, which may include, without limitation, an extension of the term of the Lease and an increase in the Basic Monthly Rent payable under the Lease. If Tenant fails to give Landlord such written notice within such ten (10)-day period, or if the Parties, after exercising reasonable, good faith efforts, are unable to agree on the amount of the monthly rental and other terms and conditions for the ROFO Space within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s written notice of interest in leasing the ROFO Space, such right of first offer shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the ROFO Space. On any such termination, Landlord shall be free to lease the ROFO Space to any other person on such terms and conditions as Landlord may wish, whether or not such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than the terms and conditions offered to Tenant.


    8.    Security Deposit. Based on the new rentable square footage of the Premises set forth in this Amendment, the amount of the Security Deposit, as set forth above, will be $322,398.79, increasing the current Security Deposit, which is $137,889.31, by $184,509.48. Therefore, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $184,509.48, the additional incremental amount of the Security Deposit, or such greater amount as is necessary to cause the Security Deposit held by Landlord to equal $322,398.79.


    9.    Enforceability. Each Party represents and warrants that: such Party was duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation; such Party has the requisite power and authority under applicable law and its governing documents to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Amendment; the individual executing this Amendment on behalf of such Party has full power and authority under such Party’s governing documents to execute and deliver this Amendment in the name of, and on behalf of, such Party and to cause such Party to perform its obligations under this Amendment; this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Party; and this Amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, and is enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.

    10.    Brokerage Commissions. Except as may be set forth in one or more separate agreements between Landlord and Landlord’s broker, or Landlord or Landlord’s broker and Tenant’s broker, each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that no claim exists for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar fee in connection with this Amendment based on any agreement made by such representing Party. Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from and against any claim for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar fee in connection with this Amendment based on an actual or alleged agreement made by such indemnifying Party.


    11.    Entire Agreement. The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, exclusively encompasses the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all previous negotiations, understandings and agreements between the Parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, any oral discussions, letters of intent and email correspondence. The Parties have not relied on any representation, understanding, information, discussion, assertion, guarantee, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance (including, without limitation, one relating to square footage) made by or on behalf of the other Party or any other person whatsoever (including, without limitation, any real estate broker or agent) that is not set forth in this Amendment, and the Parties waive all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, arising or that may arise as the result of a Party’s reliance thereon.


    12.    Facsimile, Electronic Mail or Electronic Signatures. Signatures to this Amendment transmitted by telecopy or electronic mail shall be valid and effective to bind the Party so signing, it being expressly agreed that each Party shall be bound by its own telecopied or electronically mailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or electronically mailed signature of the other Party. The execution of this Amendment may be accomplished by electronic signature utilizing DocuSign or any other technology, and any electronic signature (meaning any electronic symbol, designation or process), whether digital or encrypted, used by either Party shall authenticate this Amendment and have the same force and effect as a manual signature.


    13.    General Provisions. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall control. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Lease (which, by definition, includes all previous amendments) is ratified and affirmed in its entirety. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws (excluding the choice of laws rules) of the state of Utah. This Amendment may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of which when so executed shall constitute in the aggregate but one and the same document. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Amendment to physically form one document.
