(c)To the extent provided in Paragraph 8(b), the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, all Monetary Obligations shall continue to be payable in all events (or, in lieu thereof, Tenant shall pay amounts equal thereto), and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. The obligation to pay Rent or amounts equal thereto shall not be affected by any collection of rents by any governmental body pursuant to a tax lien or otherwise in order to satisfy obligations of Tenant hereunder to pay real estate taxes or municipal charges. All Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall constitute "rent" for all purposes (including Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code).

(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall have no right and hereby waives all rights which it may have under any Law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or any of the Leased Premises, or (ii) to any Set-Off of any Monetary Obligations.

(e)Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to prevent Tenant from bringing an action against Landlord or any guarantor of this Lease, either at law or in equity, if Landlord breaches any of its obligations under this Lease. If Landlord fails to timely pay or perform any obligation or comply with any agreement required to be performed or complied with by Landlord under this Lease, and such failure is not cured within twenty (20) days after notice is given to Landlord of such failure (or if such cure reasonably requires more than twenty (20) days, if Landlord fails to commence such cure within such twenty (20) day period or thereafter fails to actively, diligently and in good faith prosecute such cure to completion), Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for (a) all damages, losses and Costs suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of such failure, or (b) specific performance of such obligation or agreement, together with all damages, losses and Costs suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of such failure. In addition, Tenant may exercise any other right or remedy available to Tenant at law or in equity (subject, however, to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 8). None of the foregoing remedies shall be exclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity (whether existing on or created after the date of this Lease), and all such remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively from time to time. The failure on the part of Tenant to promptly enforce any right or to exercise any remedy under this Lease shall not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and the waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default.

9.    Payment of Impositions.

(a)Tenant shall, before interest or penalties are due thereon, pay and discharge all taxes (including real and personal property, franchise, sales and rent taxes), all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Leased Premises, all assessments and levies, all permit, inspection and license fees, all rents and charges for water, sewer , utility and communication services relating to any of the Leased Premises, and all other public charges whether of a like or different nature, even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against (i) Tenant, (ii) any of the Leased Premises, (iii) Landlord as a result of or arising in respect of the ownership , occupancy, leasing, use or possession of any of the Leased Premises, any activity conducted on any of the Leased Premises, or the Rent, or (iv) any Lender by reason of any Note, Mortgage, Assignment or other document evidencing or securing a Loan and which (as to this clause (iv) Landlord has agreed to pay (collectively, the "Impositions"); provided, that nothing herein shall obligate Tenant to pay (A) income, excess profits or other taxes of Landlord (or Lender) which are determined on the basis of Landlord's (or Lender's) net income or net worth (unless such taxes are in lieu of or a substitute for any other tax, assessment or other charge upon or with respect to the Leased Premises which, if it were in effect, would be payable by Tenant under the provisions hereof or by the terms of such tax, assessment or other charge), (B) any estate, inheritance, succession, gift or similar tax imposed on Landlord or (C) any capital gains or other tax imposed on Landlord in connection with the sale of the Leased Premises to any Person (other than transfer taxes, or recording taxes or charges, imposed upon Landlord in any transfer of the Leased Premises to Tenant, which shall be paid by Tenant) . If any Imposition may be paid in installments without interest or penalty, Tenant shall have the option to pay such Imposition in installments; in such event, Tenant shall be liable only for those installments which accrue or become due and payable during the Term. Tenant shall prepare and file all tax reports required by governmental authorities which relate to the Impositions. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (1) copies of all settlements and notices pertaining to the Impositions which may be issued by any governmental authority within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt thereof, (2) receipts for payment of all taxes required to be paid by Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days after the due date 

13 

thereof and (3) receipts for payment of all other Impositions within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor.

(b)Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to require Tenant to pay to Landlord an additional monthly sum (each an "Escrow Payment") sufficient to pay the Escrow Charges (as hereinafter defined) as they become due. As used herein, "Escrow Charges" shall mean real estate taxes on the Leased Premises or payments in lieu thereof and premiums on any insurance required by this Lease. Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of the Escrow Charges and of each Escrow Payment. The Escrow Payments may be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and no interest thereon shall be due or payable to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the Escrow Payments to the payment of the Escrow Charges in such order or priority as Landlord shall determine or as required by law. If at any time the Escrow Payments theretofore paid to Landlord shall be insufficient for the payment of the Escrow Charges, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord waives the requirement that Escrow Payments be made to Landlord to the same extent that Lender waives any requirements that Escrow Charges be escrowed with Lender. Landlord shall exert its best efforts to cause any Lender to waive any such requirement.

10.    Compliance with Laws and Easement Agreements; Environmental Matters.

(c)Upon prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall permit such persons as Landlord may designate ("Site Reviewers") to visit the Leased Premises and perform, as agents of Tenant, environmental site investigations and assessments ("Site Assessments") on the Leased Premises for the purpose of determining whether there exists on the Leased Premises any Environmental Violation or any condition which could result in any Environmental Violation. Such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground testing for Environmental Violations and such other tests as may be necessary, in the opinion of the Site Reviewers, to conduct the Site Assessments provided that the Leased Premises are in each case restored to their original condition prior to such testing. Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Leased Premises as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments and shall make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. 

Tenant shall pay for the cost of the following Site Assessments:

		
	(i)
	any Site Assessment where there is reasonable cause by Landlord to suspect an Environmental Violation; 

14 

		
	(ii)
	any Site Assessment undertaken by Landlord for any reason whatsoever (but so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Tenant need not pay the cost of a Site Assessment conducted more frequently than once every five years); and 

		
	(iii)
	any site Assessment required by a Lender, provided, however, that Landlord shall exert its best efforts to minimize the frequency and cost thereof.

(d)If an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the cost of remediation of the same is likely to exceed $25,000, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's request there for, adequate assurances that Tenant will effect such remediation in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and the Term terminates or expires prior to the completion of all required remedial action in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant shall nevertheless have the obligation to complete such action even though the Term has terminated or expired. Landlord shall have a cause of action for damages against Tenant if Landlord is unable to sell or rent the Leased Premises at market values as a result of such uncured Environmental Violation.

(f)If Tenant fails to comply with any requirement of any Environmental Law in connection with any Environmental Violation which occurs or is found to exist, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to take any and all actions as are necessary to so comply.

(g)Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately after becoming aware of any Environmental Violation (or alleged Environmental Violation) or noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 10 and shall forward to Landlord immediately upon receipt thereof copies of all orders, reports, notices, permits, applications or other communications relating to any such violation or noncompliance.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT OR TO ANYONE HOLDING OR OCCUPYING ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS ' OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES. LANDLORD MAY AT ANY TIME POST ANY NOTICES ON THE LEASED PREMISES REGARDING SUCH NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.

(b)Tenant shall execute, deliver and record, file or register (collectively, "record") all such instruments as may be required or permitted by any present or future Law in order to evidence the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant in the Leased Premises, and shall cause a memorandum of this Lease (or, if such a memorandum cannot be recorded, this Lease), and any supplement hereto or thereto, to 

15 

be recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required or permitted by any present or future Law in order to protect the validity and priority of this Lease. Such memorandum shall be recorded prior to recordation of the Mortgage from Landlord to First Interstate.

13.    Alterations and Improvements.

(a)Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, to (i) make Alterations to the Leased Premises for a cost of not more than $1,500,000 for any Alteration or series of related Alterations, or (ii) install equipment in the Improvements so long as an Event of Default does not exist and the value or utility of the Improvements is not diminished thereby. Other than Alterations required by Paragraphs 12 and 17 and the New Improvements, any additions to the Improvements or Alterations in excess of $1,500,000 per Alteration or series of related Alterations shall require the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b)If Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Paragraph 13 or Paragraph 37 or as required by Paragraph 12 or 17 (such Alterations and actions being hereinafter collectively referred to as "Work”), whether or not Landlord's consent is required, then (i) the market value of the Leased Premises shall not be lessened by any such Work, (ii) all such Work shall be performed by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner, (iii) all such Work shall be expeditiously completed in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (iv) all such Work shall comply with the Insurance Requirements, (v) if any such Work involves the replacement of Equipment or parts thereto, all replacement Equipment or parts shall have a value and useful life at least equal to the value and useful life of the Equipment being replaced immediately prior to the occurrence of the event which required its replacement and such replacements must be in good working order and repair and in accordance with industry standards for replaced equipment, (vi) Tenant shall promptly discharge or remove all liens filed against any of the Leased Premises arising out of such

Tenant shall provide Landlord security which is satisfactory, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to assure that such Permitted Violation is corrected, including all Costs, interest and penalties that may be incurred or become due in connection therewith. While any proceedings which comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 14 are pending and the required security is held by Landlord, Landlord shall not have the right to correct any Permitted Violation thereby being contested unless Landlord is required by law to correct such Permitted Violation and Tenant's contest does not prevent or stay such requirement as to Landlord. Each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted by Tenant to a final conclusion, except that Tenant, so long as the conditions of this Paragraph 14 are at all times complied with, has the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations. Tenant shall pay any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest and Costs thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof.

(e) Anything in this Paragraph 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, any insurance which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to Paragraph 16(a) may be carried under a "blanket" or umbrella policy or policies covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such "blanket" or umbrella policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 16 and provided further that such policies shall provide for a reserved amount thereunder with respect to the Leased Premises so as to assure that the amount of insurance required by this Paragraph 16 will be available notwithstanding any losses with respect to other property covered by such blanket policies. The amount of the total insurance allocated to the Leased Premises, which amount shall be not less than the amounts required pursuant to this Paragraph 16, shall be specified either (i) in each such "blanket" or umbrella policy or (ii) in a written statement, which Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, from the insurer thereunder. The original or a certified copy of each such "blanket" or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord.

(f) Tenant shall have the replacement cost and insurable value of the Improvements and Equipment determined from time to time as required by the replacement cost and agreed amount endorsements and shall deliver to Landlord the new replacement cost and agreed amount endorsement or certificate evidencing such endorsement promptly upon Tenant’s receipt thereof.

(g) Tenant shall promptly comply with and conform to (i) all provisions of each insurance policy required by this Paragraph 16 and (ii) all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord, Tenant or any of the Leased Premises or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Leased Premises, even if such compliance necessitates Alterations or results in interference with the use or enjoyment of any of the Leased Premises.

(h) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included therein as named insureds, with loss payable as provided here in, and (ii) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 1 6. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord photocopies of the original policies therefor.

(i) All policies shall contain effective waivers by the carrier against all claims for insurance premiums against Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant waive all rights to recover against each other and against the officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, customers, invitees or business visitors of each other for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by any insurance carried by the waiving party, but only to the extent of insurance proceeds paid to such waiving party and only to the extent such waiver does not invalidate any coverage under any such insurance. Landlord and Tenant shall cause their respective insurance carriers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of insurance carried in connection with the Leased Premises.

17. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If any Casualty occur s, Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender immediate notice thereof. Landlord and Lender are hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise, in their discretion and upon notice to Tenant (except that no notice to Tenant shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a)(i)and (vi) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Tenant all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled to participate with Landlord and Lender in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord or Lender, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. If Landlord or Lender so requests, Tenant shall adjust, collect and compromise any and all such claims, and Landlord and Lender shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. Any adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord and Lender, and Landlord and Lender shall have the right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. Each 

20 

insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies, excluding return of unearned premiums which shall be paid to Tenant, directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant’s attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor.

(b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall ·notify Landlord and Lender thereof. Landlord and Lender are authorized to collect, settle and compromise, in their discretion (and, if no Event of Default exists, upon notice to Tenant), the amount of any Net Award. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled to participate with Landlord and Lender in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof and to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award there for. No agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord and Lender. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17 (b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment or other property which is not part of the Improvements or the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of busines s, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i)Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii)such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder.

(c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Ob1igations, except as provided in Paragraph 17 (d)and 19 (c). Promptly after such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event. Upon the receipt by Landlord of the entire or any portion of the Net Award of such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Landlord shall make such Net Award available to Tenant for restoration in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19(a). If any Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.

(d) In the event of a Requisition of any of the Leased Premises, if any Net Award payable by reason of such Requisition is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the date on which the Net Award is paid to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the amount of such Net Award retained by Landlord, or (ii)paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount as payments are reduced under the Note until such Net Award has been applied in full or until the Term has expired, whichever first occurs. Landlord will use its best efforts to cause Lender to change the amortization payments on its Loan if a Net Award is paid to Lender. Upon Lease termination, the difference between Total Benefits (as hereinafter defined) and the amount of Basic Rent reductions actually received by Tenant through the date of Lease termination shall be paid to Tenant so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. As used herein, "Total Benefits" shall mean the Present Value of the benefit Tenant would have received under clause (i) of this subparagraph (d) if the Net Award had been paid to Landlord and applied as described in said clause (i).

18. Termination Events.

(a) If (i) the entire Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking, or (ii)at any time following the Completion Date, any substantial portion of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking or all or any substantial portion of the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty following the Completion Date and in such case, within sixty (6 0)days after such event Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that Tenant will forever abandon operations at the Leased Premises (each of the events described in the above clauses (i)and (ii)shall hereinafter be 

21 

referred to as a "Termination Event"), then (x) in the case of (i)above, Tenant shall be obligated, within sixty (60)days after such Taking, and (y)in the case of (ii)above, Tenant shall have the option, within sixty (6 0 ) days after such Taking o r sixty (6 0)days after the Casualty, as the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice of the Tenant’s option to terminate this Lease (a "Termination Notice")in the form described in Paragraph 18 (b).

(b) A Termination Notice shall contain (i) notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least ninety (90)days after the Fair Market Value Date (the "Termination Date"), (ii) a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and (iii)if the Termination Event is an event described in Paragraph 18(a)(ii), the certification and covenants described therein and a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same. Promptly upon the delivery to Landlord of a Termination Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall commence to determine the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises.

(c) If Landlord shall reject such offer to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant (a "Rejection"), which Rejection shall contain the written consent of Lender, not later than sixty (60) days following the Fair Market Value Date, then this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date, subject to paragraph 10(e); provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all obligations to pay Basic Rent, taxes, Additional Rent previously agreed by Landlord and tenant to be due, and the cost of any work or Alterations (subject to Tenant' s rights under Paragraph 14) which have arisen on or prior to the Termination Date (collectively, "Remaining Obligations") on the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate to a date after the Termination Date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii)Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or to any of the Leased Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by Landlord.

(d) Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer. If such offer is accepted by Landlord then, on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and shall pay to the proper party all Remaining Obligations, and Landlord shall (i) convey to Tenant the Leased Premises or the remaining portion thereof, if any, and (ii) pay to or assign to Tenant its entire interest in and to the Net Award, all in accordance with Paragraph 2 0. If the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 18(d) shall apply, the provisions of Paragraph 19 shall be inapplicable.

19. Restoration; Reduction of Rent.

(a) Subject to paragraph 18(d), if a Net Award is made available by Landlord for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises, Landlord (or Lender if required by any Mortgage) shall hold such Net Award in a fund (the "Restoration Fund") and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions : 

(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contract s, contractors, plans and specifications for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (B) Landlord and Lender shall be provided with acceptable performance and payment bonds which insure satisfactory completion of and payment for the restoration, are in an amount and form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender as additional dual obligees, and (C) appropriate waivers of mechanics' and materialmen’s liens shall have been filed; 

(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and, subject to paragraph 14, no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged; 

(iii)disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects' certificates, of 

22 

the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specification's, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics' and materialmen' s lien claims; 

(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by the president or a vice president of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease; 

(v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10 %)of the restoration fund until the restoration is fully completed; 

(vi) the Restoration Fund may be commingled with Landlord’s other funds and shall not bear interest; and 

(vii) such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender may impose.

(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, upon demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

(c) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 9 (b), such sum (the "Remaining Sum") shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note, or Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender. If the Remaining Sum is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the Retention Date shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the Remaining sum, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount as payments are reduced under any Note if the Loan corresponding to such Note is reamortized to reflect such payment, in each case until such Remaining Sum has been applied in full or until the Term has expired, whichever occurs first. Landlord will use its best efforts to cause Lender to change the amortization payments on its Loan if a Net Award is paid to Lender. Upon Lease termination, the difference between Total Benefits (as hereinafter defined) and the amount of Basic Rent reductions actually received by Tenant shall be paid to Tenant so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. As used herein, "Total Benefits" shall mean the Present Value of the benefit Tenant would have received under clause (i) of this subparagraph (c) if the Net Award had been paid to Landlord and applied as described in said clause (i).

20. Procedures Upon Purchase.

(a) If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises created by Tenant or (with respect to non-monetary encumbrances) with Tenant’s written consent and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises which 

23 

have been created by or resulted from acts of Landlord or any Person claiming by, through or under Landlord after the date of this Leas e, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

(b)Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease (any such date the "Purchase Date"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in Federal Funds, less any credit of the Net Award received and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a), together with a standard coverage policy of title insurance covering the Leased Premises in the amount of the Relevant Amount (with Landlord and Tenant to equally split the cost of such title policy) (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant against the Relevant Amount and required to be delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided, that if any Rent payable to Landlord remains outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount of such Rent. If on the Purchase Date any such Rent remains outstanding and (a) no Net Award is payable to Tenant by Landlord then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Rent and (b) if a Net Award is payable to Tenant but is less than the amount of such Rent then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Rent in excess of the amount of any such Net Award received by Landlord. Upon the completion of such purchase, this Lease and all obligations and l i abilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any surviving Obligations.

(c) If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after (i)the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph 18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase under any other provision of this Lease then Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.

(d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Relevant Amount due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.

21. Assignment and Subletting; Prohibition against Leasehold Financing.

(a) Tenant may not assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or sublet any of the Leased Premises at any time to any other Person without the prior written consent of Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may, with prior or concurrent notice to Landlord but without the written consent of Landlord, enter into one or more subleases covering (in the aggregate) 50% or less of the Leased Premises or assign the Lease to an entity in which Tenant has an ownership interest (directly or indirectly) of more than 50%.

If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Each sublease of any of the Leased Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease. No assignment or sublease made as permitted by this Paragraph 21 shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.

(b) Tenant shall, within ten (10)days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be in recordable form.

24 

(c) As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or hereinafter entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, provided, however, that Landlord shall, following occurrence of an Event of Default, have the absolute right at any time upon notice to Tenant and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same. With respect to subleases requiring Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not consent t o, cause or allow any material modification or material alteration of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the subleases without the prior written approval of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall Tenant accept any rents more than thirty (30) days in advance of the accrual thereof nor do nor permit anything to be done, the doing of which, nor omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will or could be a breach of or default in the terms of any of the subleases.

(d) Tenant shall not have the power to mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of the Leased Premises, and any such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void.

(e)Subject to Paragraph 36, Landlord may sell or transfer the Leased Premises at any time without Tenant’s consent to any third party (each a "Third Party Purchaser "). In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and an estoppel certificate described in paragraph 25.

22. Events of Default.

(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of any applicable cure period as provided in Paragraph 2 2 (b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an "Event of Default" under this Lease:

If the default consists of any other default specified in Paragraph 22 (a), the applicable cure period shall be twenty (20) days from the date on which notice is given or, if the default cannot be cured within such twenty (20) day period, the cure period shall be extended for the period required to cure the default, provided that Tenant shall commence to cure the default within the said twenty-day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default until it shall be fully cured. 

23.    Remedies and Damages Upon Default.

(a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23.

(i)Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord ' s intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may (A) exercise the remedy set forth in and collect the damages permitted by Paragraph 23(a)(iii) or (B) collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) or 23(b)(ii).

(ii)After repossession of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and collect 

26 

and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may reasonably deem advisable. Notwithstanding any such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii).

(iii)Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, require Tenant to make an irrevocable offer to terminate this Lease upon payment to Landlord of an amount (the "Default Termination Amount") specified in the next sentence. The "Default Termination Amount” shall be the greatest of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises, (B) the sum of the Acquisition Cost and Prepayment Premium which Landlord will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the Default Termination Amount (such Prepayment Premium, however, will not exceed that Prepayment Premium payable on a Loan in an amount of 80% of the Acquisition Cost having a remaining term (on the closing date) not longer than the then remaining Term, excluding extension options) or (C) an amount equal to the Present Value of the entire Basic Rent from the date of such purchase to the date of expiration of the then current Term (without extensions), except that the Present Value of Basic Rent payable during extension periods for which Tenant has not exercised an extension option may be recovered by Landlord if Landlord establishes (or the appraisers determine pursuant to Paragraph 29(c)) that the exercise of any one or more extension options by Tenant is more likely than not, after taking into consideration factors including (a) Tenant's likelihood of moving its business location out of the Salt Lake County area, (b) improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, (c) the importance of the Leased Premises to the overall business operations of Tenant (and its subsidiaries and affiliates), (d) the ownership or leasing by Tenant (or its subsidiaries and affiliates) of nearby or adjacent properties, (e) then market conditions, and (f) Tenant's then financial condition. Upon such notice to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have made such offer. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence to determine Fair Market Value. Within thirty (30) days after the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall accept or reject such offer. If Landlord accepts such offer then, on the tenth (10th) business day after such acceptance (it being understood that Tenant may extend the closing date from the 10th business day following acceptance to the 120th business day following acceptance by payment to Landlord of a nonrefundable extension fee of $100,000, which extension fee shall be applied toward the payment of the Default Termination Amount) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Default Termination Amount and Landlord will convey the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee in accordance with Paragraph 20. Any rejection by Landlord of such offer shall have no effect on any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease.

(iv)Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the then current Term to be immediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of the Term, and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent which has been prepaid hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term, (B) Tenant shall have no option to extend or renew the Term and (C) Tenant shall have no further rights under Paragraph 35.

(b)    The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii):

(i)    If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, 

27 

if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the then current Term (without further extension) is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all of Landlord's Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including all reasonable attorneys' fees.

(ii)    If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term (without further extension) in the absence of the termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, but provided that Landlord has exercised commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as and when such amounts would otherwise have been due, as liquidated and agreed current damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in connection with such repossessing and reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by Tenant. Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default. In connection with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 23(b)(ii), Tenant shall have the burden of proving that Landlord has not exercised commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages.

29.    Determination of Value.

(a)    Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:

(i)    Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the "Applicable Initial Date") on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord's intention to require Tenant to make an offer to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii) or (C) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of Tenant's intention to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 35, but as to this item (C) only, in no event earlier than the first day of the 10th anniversary date of this Lease, as applicable. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value.

(ii)    If the parties shall not have signed such agreement within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days thereafter, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value based on an appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date. If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive.

(iii)    If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their 

30 

respective determination of Fair Market Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value, which determination shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

(iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10 ) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto, be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in Salt Lake City, Utah. The determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment. Fair Market Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value made by the appraiser (pursuant to Paragraph 29 (a) (iii) hereof ) whose determination of Fair Market Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

(v) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29 (a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions o f this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration. The Cost of the procedure (including the costs and fees of the appraisers described in this Paragraph 29 (a) above) shall be split equally between Landlord and Tenant, except that Tenant will pay 100% of such costs if the appraisal is being made pursuant to Paragraph 23 (a) (iii).

(b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended to the date specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value is being made.

(c) In determining the Fair Market Value (as encumbered by the Lease), the appraisers shall add (a) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term (with assumed increases in the CPI (as defined in Exhibit D) to be determined by the appraisers) and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises as of the end of such Term. The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with a l l provisions of the Lease, and that Tenant has not violated (and will not violate) any Covenants.

In determining Fair Market Value (as encumbered by the Lease) in connection with a determination of the Default Termination Amount or the Purchase Price (as defined in Paragraph 35), any Rent payable during future extension periods under the Lease for which Tenant has not exercised its extension option shall be taken into account by an appraiser in connection with such determination only if  such appraiser believes that the exercise of any one or more extension options by Tenant is more likely than not, after taking into consideration factors including (a) Tenant's likelihood of moving its business location out of the Salt Lake County area, (b) improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, (c) the importance of the Leased Premises to the overall business operations of Tenant (and its subsidiaries and affiliates), (d) the ownership or leasing by Tenant (or its subsidiaries and affiliates) of nearby, or adjacent properties, (e) then market conditions, and (f) Tenant's then financial condition.

Tenant shall execute an estoppel certificate and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement provided such subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement also contains provisions contained in a Nondisturbance Agreement. Such subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement may require Tenant to confirm that (a) Lender and its assigns will not be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord, and (b) Lender and its assigns will not be subject to any counterclaim  demand or offset which Tenant may have against Landlord.

If Tenant intends to exercise such option, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord to such effect not earlier than 12 months prior to, and not later than five and one-half ( 5 1/2) months prior to, the 10th anniversary or 25th anniversary of the Completion Date, as the case may be.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant executed in error that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated May 8, 2017 (the “Erroneous Amendment”) and hereby desire (i) to deem such Erroneous Amendment null and void and (ii) to further amend the Existing Lease to (A) extend the initial Term of the Lease, (B) revise Basic Rent and (C) provide Tenant with the Reimbursement (defined hereinafter), a right of first offer and the Tenant Improvement Allowance (defined hereinafter), among other things. 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
1.Definitions.  All capitalized terms contained in this Amendment shall, for the purposes hereof, have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless otherwise defined herein. As used herein, the term “Lease” shall mean the Existing Lease as amended by this Amendment and as hereafter amended.

2.Lease Amendments.  Effective as of the Effective Date, the Existing Lease is hereby amended as follows:

a.    Paragraph 5 of the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(b)    Provided that if, on or prior to the Expiration Date or any other Renewal Date (as hereinafter defined) this Lease shall not have been terminated pursuant to any provision hereof, then on the Expiration Date and on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Expiration Date (the Expiration Date and such anniversary being a “Renewal Date”), the term shall be deemed to have been automatically extended for an additional period of ten (10) years, unless Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least 18 months prior to the next Renewal Date that Tenant is terminating this Lease as of the next Renewal Date.” 
b.    Paragraphs 35 and 36 of the Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety.

c.    Exhibit D of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with “Exhibit D” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

3.Basic Rent. 

a.    Tenant shall pay Basic Rent pursuant to Exhibit D, attached hereto, as of April 1, 2017 (the “Extension Commencement Date”).  

b.    The parties hereto acknowledge that Tenant overpaid Basic Rent for the period beginning on the Extension Commencement Date through and including July 31, 2017 in the total amount of $60,918.45. Accordingly, Landlord 

1

shall provide a credit to Tenant for $60,918.45 toward the next quarterly installment of Basic Rent due pursuant to the Lease on August 1, 2017.  

4.Reimbursement for Completed Tenant Improvements and Rent. Within thirty (30) days of Effective Date, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant in the amount of One Million Six Hundred Forty-One Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-Eight and 39/100 Dollars ($1,641,898.39) (the “Reimbursement”) pursuant to the wiring instructions attached hereto as “Schedule 1” for costs incurred by Tenant related to certain Improvements completed by Tenant and certain rental reimbursements.   

5.    Tenant Improvement Allowance. 

a.    Landlord shall provide to Tenant an improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) equal to $967,245.00 for Approved Work (hereinafter defined) to be completed by Tenant that Tenant deems necessary or desirable for its continued use and occupancy of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant after the completion of the Approved Work. As used herein, “Approved Work” shall be performed in accordance with Paragraph 13 of the Lease and shall mean (i) physical improvements to the building(s) located  on or comprising a part of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, all interior and exterior improvements or modifications to such building(s) and the addition of solar panels to the Building(s), the upgrade or replacement of building systems (HVAC, plumbing and electrical), and any improvements to the parking area or the land comprising the Leased Premises, including landscaping replacement or upgrades, and (ii) certain soft costs (which soft costs shall not, in any event, exceed thirty percent (30%) of the TI Allowance), including, but not limited to, space planning, space programming, interior design, design development drawings, construction drawings, electrical / mechanical / plumbing / engineering drawings, approval fees, and other construction design costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Approved Work” shall specifically exclude the purchase of moveable furniture, fixtures or other equipment which have no permanent connection to the Leased Premises.

b.    Approved Work eligible for reimbursement from the TI Allowance may be performed at any time after the Effective Date and prior to February 1, 2022 (the “Outside TI Completion Date”). Tenant may make no more than five (5) draw requests (each a “Reimbursement Demand”) and each Reimbursement Demand shall be for no less than $100,000.00 and shall be requested prior to April 1, 2022 (the “Outside TI Submission Date”); provided, however, that the final Reimbursement Demand may be for less than $100,000.00 if such Reimbursement Demand is for the previously unpaid balance of the TI Allowance, even if such balance is less than $100,000.00. 

c.    Tenant shall submit to Landlord the following documentary evidence (the “TI Documents”) with each Reimbursement Demand: (i) invoices for the Approved Work; (ii) proof of payment by Tenant of such invoices; (iii) reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Approved Work for which the Reimbursement Demand is made has been completed on a lien free basis, which evidence may include a lien waiver executed by Tenant’s contractor in respect of the alterations and improvements described in Tenant’s contract with contractor for the Approved Work and a copy of a lien waiver executed by each subcontractor who provides goods and services in connection with such Approved Work who is entitled to receive $10,000.00 or more in connection with the furnishing of those goods and services; and (iv) certification in writing by Tenant delivered to Landlord stating that all Approved Work completed in connection with the Reimbursement Request has been completed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with the terms of the Lease in a manner acceptable to Tenant.  Landlord shall distribute to Tenant the funds requested in the Reimbursement Demand within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of the TI Documents in accordance with the terms hereof.  

d.    If the aggregate amount of the cost for all Approved Work exceeds the amount of the TI Allowance, Landlord will have no liability for the excess.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any and all work, including, without limitation, the Approved Work, performed shall be performed or made by Tenant in accordance with applicable provisions of the Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any portion of the TI Allowance that is not included in a Reimbursement Request submitted on or before the Outside TI Submission Date shall not be available for reimbursement to Tenant.

6.    Right of First Offer.

a,    If Landlord decides to offer the Leased Premises for sale to any third party during the Term, Landlord shall first offer by written notice (the “Offer”) to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant for a specific purchase price (the “ROFO Purchase Price”) and, upon such terms and conditions as Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, would otherwise intend to offer to sell the Leased Premises, prior to Landlord's offering to sell the Leased Premises to any such third party except that the terms and conditions of any such sale to Tenant shall be (i) consistent with the terms and provisions of this Paragraph 6 and (ii) the sale to Tenant shall be “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, without any representation or warranty by Landlord, except for representations and warranties typical to commercial real estate transactions in Salt Lake County, Utah, but not any representation or warranty whatsoever relating to the physical, environmental or other condition of the Leased Premises.  If Landlord shall make the Offer, then, whether or not Tenant has accepted the Offer, Landlord shall have the unilateral right, in Landlord's sole discretion, to revoke 

2

the Offer if an Event of Default exists under this Lease and continues to exist beyond any applicable cure period on the date on which Landlord shall give, or would otherwise be required to give, Tenant the Offer.

b.    Tenant shall have the right to accept the Offer only by giving Landlord written notice of such acceptance (the “ROFO Notice”) within fifteen (15) business days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the Offer.  Time shall be of the essence with respect to said fifteen (15) business day period and delivery of the ROFO Notice by Tenant.  If Tenant shall accept the Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a purchase and sale agreement with respect to the Leased Premises, which purchase and sale agreement shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant and consistent with this Paragraph 6.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease upon the delivery of the ROFO Notice by Tenant, no event or circumstances affecting the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, a Condemnation or Casualty, shall give Tenant any right or option of Tenant to cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate this Lease.

c.    If Tenant does not accept, or fails to accept, the Offer in accordance with the provisions herein, Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such Offer pursuant to the terms contained herein, and Tenant shall have forever waived and relinquished its right to such Offer, and Landlord shall at any and all times thereafter be entitled to market the Leased Premises to others upon such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord's request therefor, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the aforesaid waiver, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.

d.    If Tenant does not timely deliver the ROFO Notice and the Leased Premises are transferred to a third party, Tenant will attorn to such third party as Landlord so long as such third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer and such third party assumes in writing all of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease arising from and after the date that such third-party acquires the Leased Premises.  At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

e.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall not apply to or prohibit (i) any mortgaging, subjection to deed of trust or other hypothecation of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, (ii) any sale of the Leased Premises pursuant to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any Mortgage or other security instrument or device to which Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises is now or hereafter subject, (iii) any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises to a Lender, beneficiary under deed of trust or other holder of a security interest therein or their designees by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency with power of condemnation, (v) any transfer of the Leased Premises or any interest therein or in Landlord to any affiliate of W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”) or to any entity for whom WPC or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries provides management or advisory services or investment advice, directly or indirectly, (vi) a transfer to any person or entity to whom WPC sells all or substantially all of its assets, (vii) any transfer of the interest of WPC or (viii) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any of the successors or assigns of any of the persons or entities referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv).

f.    If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 6, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or assignment of leases and rents and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

g.    Upon the date fixed for a purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 6 which shall be a date mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant which shall be no later than either sixty (60) days following acceptance of the Offer (the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the ROFO Purchase Price and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Offer, in Federal Funds, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or its designee (i) special warranty deeds or their equivalent which describe the Leased Premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 6(f) above and (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee.  If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations arising under the Lease remain outstanding Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations; provided, however, for purposes of this sentence, “Monetary Obligations” shall not include Monetary Obligations that, but for the termination of the Lease pursuant to the next sentence, would first become due under the Lease following the Purchase Date and that do not relate to matters that first arose prior to such termination.  Upon the completion of such purchase by Tenant or its designee, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent, which arise 

3

on or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease or which survive such expiration or termination by their own terms.  Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the ROFO Purchase Price due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.

h.    If the completion of the purchase by Tenant or its designee pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall be delayed after the date scheduled for such purchase, Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.

7.    Modification.    Except as modified and amended by this Amendment, all of the conditions, covenants and terms of the Lease hereby are confirmed and ratified and shall continue to be and remain in full force and effect.

8.    Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Lease together contain the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof.  Any guarantees, promises, representations or warranties not herein or therein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing and executed by the party or parties making such guarantees, promises, representations or warranties.

9.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.

10.    Enforceability. If any provision of this Amendment or its application to any person or circumstances is invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Amendment, or the applicability of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall be deemed to be separate from such invalid or unenforceable provisions and shall continue in full force and effect.

11.    Brokers. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that it has paid any realtors, brokers, finders or agents it worked with in connection with this Amendment, and each releases and agrees to indemnify the other from and against any claims based on the failure or alleged failure to pay any realtors, brokers, finders or agents and from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commission or changes claimed by any realtors, brokers, finders or agents claiming by, through or on behalf of it with respect to this Amendment or the negotiation of this Amendment.

12.    Governing Law. Paragraph 38(i) of the Lease is incorporated herein by this reference to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

13.    Ratified.    The Lease and all covenants agreements, terms and conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby ratified and confirmed, as modified by this Amendment.

14.    Binding Agreement.    This Amendment shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

15.    Estoppel.  Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby certifies to the other party that to the knowledge of such party, no default by either Landlord or Tenant exists under the Lease as modified and amended by this Amendment.

16.    Erroneous Amendment. Landlord and Tenant agree to deem the Erroneous Amendment null and void and of no further force or effect.

17.    Contingency.   The effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon the approval of Landlord’s existing mortgage lender.  If Landlord has not notified Tenant of such mortgage lender’s approval within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, this Amendment shall be deemed null and void, ab initio.
