6






common use of all tenants of the property, all of which shall be subject to Landlord's sole management and control and shall be operated and maintained in such manner as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine.  Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the dimensions and location of the Common Area as shown on Exhibit "A" as well as the location, dimensions, identity and type of building shown on Exhibit "A" and to construct additional buildings or additional stories on existing buildings or other improvements in the property, and to eliminate buildings from the plan shown on Exhibit "A".  Landlord reserves the right to effect changes to the configuration, type or number of parking spaces as may be deemed necessary in Landlord's sole judgment.  Tenant and its employees, customers, subtenants, licensees, and concessionaires shall have the nonexclusive right and license to use the Common Area as constituted from time to time, such use to be in common with Landlord, other tenants of the property and other persons permitted by Landlord to use the same, and subject to such reasonable rules and regulations governing use as Landlord may from time to time prescribe and as defined hereinafter, including the designation of specific areas within the property or in reasonable proximity thereto in which automobiles owned by Tenant, its employees, subtenants, licensees or concessionaires may park.  Tenant shall not solicit business or distribute handbills within the Common Area, shall be parked, or take any action which would interfere with the right of other persons to use the Common Area without prior written consent of the Landlord.  Landlord may temporarily close any part of the Common Area for such periods of time as may be necessary to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive rights or to make repairs or alterations.

policy of the state of which the Demised Premises is situated, provided payment is made on the insurance claim for such loss.  This waiver of liability to the extent of insurance coverage shall be binding whether or not such damage or destruction be caused by negligence of either party or their agents, employees or visitors.


11.4

Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent during the term of this Lease, its proportionate share of Landlord's costs of carrying special risk or its equivalent insurance, liability insurance, or any other insurance covering the property or any portion thereof (collectively, the "Insurance").  During each month during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall make to Landlord, a monthly payment (the "Insurance Payment") equal to one-third (1/6th)(17%) of Tenant's proportionate share of the cost of the Insurance which will be due and payable for that particular year.  Tenant authorizes Landlord to use the funds deposited by Tenant with Landlord under this Article XI, Section 11.4 to pay for the cost of such insurance.  Each such Insurance Payment shall be due and payable at the same time and in the same manner as the payment of Minimum Guaranteed Rental as provided herein.  The amount of the initial monthly Insurance Payment will be that amount set out in Article I, Section 1.1(k) above. The initial monthly Insurance Payment is based upon Tenant's proportionate share of the estimated cost of Insurance for the year of the execution of this Lease, and such monthly Insurance Payment is subject to increase or decrease as determined by Landlord to reflect an accurate monthly payment of Tenant's estimated proportionate share of the cost of Tenant's Insurance.  Tenant's Insurance Payment shall be reconciled annually.  If Tenant's total annual Insurance Payments are less than Tenant's actual pro rata share of the Insurance costs, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the difference.  If the total annual Insurance Payments are more than Tenant's actual pro rata share of the Insurance costs, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it to future Insurance Payments due from Tenant.  Tenant's proportionate share of the cost of Insurance shall be computed by multiplying the cost of Insurance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of floor space in the Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be the number of gross leasable square feet in the property.


ARTICLE XII.  Non-Liability for Certain Damages


12.1

Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant or any other person or entity whomsoever for any injury to person or damage to property caused by the Demised Premises or other portions of the property becoming out of repair or by defect in or failure of equipment, pipes or wiring, or broken glass or by the backing up of drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Demised Premises, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other person or entity whomsoever for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other tenants of the property or of any other persons or entities whomsoever, excepting only duly authorized employees and agents of Landlord.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, expense or claims arising out of such injury or damage referred to in this Article XII, Section 12.1.

ARTICLE XIII.  Damages by Casualty

13.1

Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord of any damage caused to the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty.


13.2

(a) In the event that the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under the standard fire and extended coverage insurance, and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises, subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 of this Article.  If the building in which the Demised Premises are located shall (i) be destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by Landlord's insurance; or (ii) be destroyed or rendered untenantable to an extent in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the first floor area by a casualty covered by Landlord's insurance; or (iii) be damaged to such extent that the remaining term of this Lease is not sufficient to amortize the cost of reconstruction, then Landlord may elect either to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises, subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 of this Article.  Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall give written notice of such election to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such casualty.  If Landlord should not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Demised Premises, subject to Section 13.3 of this Lease.


(b) If any portion of the Premises shall be rendered untenable, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, for the use and occupancy thereof by Tenant for the conduct of its business operations as a result of any damage or destruction, or if Tenant reasonably shall anticipate that the repair and restoration of any such damage or destruction shall not be completed within ninety (90) days after the date of the damage or destruction and Landlord shall not have provided Tenant with temporary substitute premises acceptable to Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivery of notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction.


13.3

Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair under this Article XIII shall in any event be limited to restoring the Demised Premises to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, and shall be further limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds available to Landlord for such restoration.


13.4

Except as otherwise provided in section 13.1(b) Tenant agrees that during any period of reconstruction or repair of the Demised Premises it will continue the operation of its business within the Demised Premises to the extent practicable.  During the period from the occurrence of the casualty until Landlord's repairs are completed, the Minimum Guaranteed Rental shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances.




16






ARTICLE XIV.  Eminent Domain


14.1

In the event more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the Demised Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.


14.2

In the event less than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the Demised Premises should be taken as aforesaid, this Lease shall not terminate; however, the Minimum Guaranteed Rental payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced in proportion to the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.  Following such partial taking, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or alterations necessary to make the Demised Premises an architectural whole.


14.3

If any part of the Common Area shall be taken as aforesaid, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall the rental payable hereunder be reduced, except that either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if the area of the Common Area remaining following such taking plus any additional parking area provided by Landlord in reasonable proximity to the property shall be less than seventy percent (70%) of the area of the Common Area immediately prior to the taking.  Any election to terminate this Lease in accordance with this provision shall be evidenced by written notice of termination delivered to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.


14.4

All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof) of the Demised Premises or Common Area shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for the taking of Tenant's fixtures and other property if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.


ARTICLE XV.  Assignment and Subletting


15.1

Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or grant any license, concession or other right to occupy any portion of the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights as to any subsequent assignments and sublettings.  Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rental herein specified and for compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease.


15.2

In the event of the transfer and assignment by Landlord of this interest in this Lease, the building containing the Demised Premises, or the property to a person expressly assuming Landlord's obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from any



17






further obligations thereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of the Landlord for performance of such obligations.  Any Security Deposit or other security given by Tenant to secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder may be assigned and transferred by Landlord to such successor in interest, and Landlord shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.


15.3

Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises.


15.4

Landlord's consent to assignment and subletting which is required under Article XV, Section 15.1 of this Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if (i) such transfer does not result in a material or substantial reduction in the quality and type of business operation which Tenant has conducted theretofore within the Demised Premises, (ii) the business to be conducted by such successor shall in all respects be in accordance with the provisions of this Lease including, without limitation, the requirements relating to Tenant's permitted use of the Demised Premises, and (iii) such successor shall have a net worth which is substantially similar to that of Tenant.  Tenant agrees to promptly provide Landlord with such information regarding such proposed assignee or subtenant and regarding any proposed alterations of the Demised Premises which will be required in connection with such assignment or subletting.  In no event shall any sublease or assignment be made or allowed which would in any way violate any then exclusive use provisions granted to or any other tenants or occupants of the property.  Any assignment or sublease shall comply with all applicable laws.  In the event that Landlord consents to any such assignment or subletting, such successor shall assume in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, all of Tenant's obligations hereunder.


15.5

Any subtenant or assignee of Tenant shall be required to pay all sums due from such subtenant or assignee directly to Landlord.  In addition, Landlord reserves the right to retain any excess rental or other consideration paid by any assignee or sublessee of Tenant over the Minimum Guaranteed Rental required from Tenant under the terms of this Lease.  Any acceptance of rent by Landlord from an unauthorized assignee or sublessee of Tenant, or Landlord permitting such unauthorized assignee or sublessee to remain in possession of the Demised Premises for any length of time, shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to any such assignment or sublessee or waiver of any breach of the provisions of this Lease by Tenant.


15.6

The sale, issuance or transfer of a majority of the voting capital stock of Tenant (if Tenant be a non-public corporation) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease within the meaning of this Article.


ARTICLE XVI.  Property Taxes


16.1

Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied against personal property and trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Demised Premises.  If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property and trade fixtures placed by



18






Tenant in or about the Demised Premises and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.


16.2

Tenant agrees to pay:


(a)

As additional rent during the term of this Lease, its proportionate share of "Taxes" (as hereinafter defined).  For purposes hereof, the term "Taxes" shall include all real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements, water and sewer charges (except for such water and sewer charges which are measured by the consumption of the actual user of the item or service for which such charge is made) and all other governmental levies, surcharges and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, general and special, extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall during the term of this Lease be levied, assessed or imposed upon the land, buildings or other improvements composing the property or any portion thereof, including interest on such installment payments and all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys', accountants', consultants', and appraisers' fees incurred by Landlord in contesting such taxes or in negotiating with the taxing authorities with respect to the same.  During each month of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly payment (the "Tax Payment") equal to one-third (1/6th) (17%) of Tenant's proportionate share of the Taxes which will be due and payable for that particular year.  Tenant authorizes Landlord to use the funds deposited by Tenant with Landlord under this Article XVI, Section 16.2(a) to pay the Taxes.  Each such monthly Tax Payment shall be due and payable at the same time and manner as the payment of Minimum Guaranteed Rental as shall be that amount set out in Article I, Section 1.1(l) above.  The initial Tax Payment is based upon Tenant's proportionate share of the estimated amount of Taxes for the year of the execution of this Lease, and such monthly Tax Payment is subject to increase or decrease as determined by Landlord to reflect an accurate monthly payment of Tenant's estimated proportionate share of the Taxes. Tenant's Tax Payment shall be reconciled annually.  If Tenant's total annual Tax Payments are less than Tenant's actual pro rata share of the Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the difference. If the total annual Tax Payments are more than Tenant's actual pro rata share of the Taxes, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it to future Tax Payments due from Tenant.  Tenant's proportionate share of the taxes shall be computed by multiplying the Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of floor area in the Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be the number of gross leasable square feet of the Demised Premises and such other portions of the property which are so assessed with the Demised Premises.  For any tax year during which this Lease is not in effect for the entire tax year, the proportionate share of Taxes payable by Tenant hereunder shall be prorated on a daily basis based on the number of days in such tax year that this Lease is in effect.


(b)

Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay on or before when due all taxes, assessments, impositions or charges levied on or with respect to or based on the rents payable under this Lease and Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of receipts evidencing payment of all such rent and taxes; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, corporation, income or profit tax that is or may be



19






imposed upon Landlord.  In addition, Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay on or before when due all taxes levied against personal property and fixtures in the Demised Premises.


(c)

Tenant may, alone or along with any other tenants of the property, at its or their sole cost and expense and in its or their own name(s), dispute and contest any "Taxes" by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, but only after Tenant and all other tenants, if any, joining with Tenant in such contest have deposited with Landlord the amount so contested and unpaid, or their proportionate shares thereof as the case may be, which shall be held by Landlord without obligation for interest until the termination of the proceedings, at which time the amount(s) deposited shall be applied by Landlord toward the payment of the items held valid (plus any court costs, interest, penalties and other liabilities associated with the proceedings), and Tenant's share of any excess deposit shall be returned to Tenant.  Tenant further agrees to pay to Landlord upon demand Tenant's share (as among all tenants who participated in the contest) of all court costs, interest, penalties and other liabilities relating to such proceedings.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Landlord from and against any cost, damage or expense (including attorneys' fees) in connection with any such proceedings.


16.3.

If Tenant should fail to pay any taxes, assessments, or governmental charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, then in addition to any other remedies provided herein, Landlord may, if it so elects, pay such taxes, assessments, and governmental charges.  Any sums so paid by Landlord shall accrue interest from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant, with such interest to be at the lesser of (i) the maximum legal rate allowed by law, or (ii) ten  percent (18%) per annum, and such sums so paid by Landlord, together with such interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on demand and shall be deemed to be additional rental due hereunder.


ARTICLE XVII.  Default by Tenant and Remedies


17.1

The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease:


(a)

Tenant shall fail to pay when due any installment of rental or any other sums required to be paid by Landlord as herein provided.


(b)

Tenant shall fail to occupy the Demised Premises within thirty (30) days of written notice by Landlord that the premises are substantially completed in accordance with this Lease or shall later abandon the Premises.


(c)

Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of rental or expenses demanded by the Landlord, and shall not cure such failure within ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided that if the appropriate cure should reasonably require more than ten days, then Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time to complete said cure, so long as Tenant commences the cure within said ten day period and proceeds diligently to completion of same.



20







(d)

Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations under this Lease shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.


(e)

Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statue of the United States or any State thereof; or Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.


(f)

A receiver or Trustee shall be appointed for Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.


(g)

Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Demised Premises.


(h)

The business operated by Tenant in the Demised Premises shall be closed by governmental or court order for failure to pay any State sales tax as required or for any other reason.


17.2

Upon the occurrence of any such events of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any further notice of demand whatsoever:


(a)

Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages rental, enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefore.


(b)

Enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, with or without having terminated this Lease.  Tenant shall remain liable for any and all Monthly Payments, rent and other charges hereunder.


(c)

Enter upon the Demised Premises without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.  Any sums



21






so paid by Landlord shall accrue interest from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant, with such interest to be at the maximum legal rate allowed by law, and such sums so paid by Landlord, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due payable upon demand and shall be deemed to be additional rental due hereunder.


(d)

Alter all locks and other security devices at the Demised Premises without terminating this Lease.


(e)

Bring suit for the collection of rents or any damages resulting from Tenant's default without entering into possession of the Demised premises or voiding this Lease.


17.3

Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Demised Premises by Tenant whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.  No alteration of locks or other security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over the property of Tenant or others at the Demised Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a conversion, Tenant hereby consenting, after any event of default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant's property within the Demised Premises.  All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process.  Tenant agrees that any re-entry by Landlord may be pursuant to judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings as Landlord may elect, and Landlord shall not be liable in trespass or otherwise.


17.4

In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by reason of an event of default, then notwithstanding such termination, Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, the sum of all rental and other indebtedness accrued to date of such termination plus, as damages, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the total Minimum Guaranteed Rental, computed as stated below in Section 17.6) plus Tenant's Common Area Maintenance Charge, Insurance Payment and Tax Payment hereunder for remaining portion of the Lease Term (had such term not been terminated by Landlord prior to the date of expiration stated in Article I) and (ii) the then present value of the then fair market rental value of the Demised Premises for such period.


17.5

In the event that Landlord elects to repossess the Demised Premises without terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein all rental and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such repossession, plus Landlord may accelerate to the date of default all monthly payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term as stated in Article I.  Said amount may be calculated by the approximation of historical costs of said amount to the remainder of the Lease.  That amount may be offset by any actual net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Demised Premises during said period (after deducting expenses incurred by Landlord as provided in Article XVII, Section 17.7 hereof).  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to



22






any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein reserved.  Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to Landlord as provided in this Article XVII, Section 17.7 may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of the Lease Term.


17.6

In case of any event of default or breach by Tenant, Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, in addition to any sum provided to be paid above brokers' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the Demised Premises; the costs of removing and storing Tenant's or other occupant's property; the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Demised Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants; and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or defending Landlord's rights and/or remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees (at all tribunals, before and during trial and on appeal).


17.7

In the event of termination or repossession of the Demised Premises for an Event of Default, Landlord shall attempt to relet the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, to collect rental after reletting; and in the event of reletting, Landlord may relet the whole or any portion of the Demised Premises, as agent for Tenant or for Landlord's own account, for any period to any tenant and for any use and purpose.  Landlord shall owe no duty or obligation to Tenant if Landlord attempts to relet the Demised Premises or attempts in any way to mitigate Landlord's damages in the event of termination or repossession of the Demised Premises for an Event of Default.


17.8

If Tenant should fail to make any payment as due or cure any default hereunder within the time herein permitted, Landlord without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Tenant (and enter the Demised Premises for such purpose), and hereupon Tenant shall be obligated to, and hereby agrees, to pay Landlord, upon demand, all costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees at all tribunals, including appeals) incurred by Landlord in taking such remedial action.  All rental amounts and any other charges and expenses to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum interest rate then allowable under the laws of the State of Utah and such interest charge shall accrue from the date payment is due until the date paid.


17.9

Upon receipt from Tenant of the sum stated in Article I, Section 1.1(m) above (the "Security Deposit"), such sum shall be held by Landlord without interest as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that such deposit is not an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant.  Said deposit shall be held by Landlord without payment of interest, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease by Tenant to be kept and performed during the terms hereof.  If at any time during the term of this Lease, any of the rental herein reserved shall be overdue and unpaid, then Landlord may, at the option of Landlord (but Landlord shall not be required to) appropriate and apply any portion of the Security Deposit to the payment of any such overdue rental or other



23






sum.  In the event of the failure of Tenant to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, then Landlord at its option may appropriate and apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to compensate the Landlord for loss or damage sustained or suffered by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant.  Should the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of overdue rental or other sums due and payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to the original sum deposited, and Tenant's failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.  Should Tenant comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and promptly pay all of the rental herein provided for as it falls due and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the Security Deposit (less any sums incurred or expended by Landlord in cleaning and restoring the Demised Premises) shall be returned to Tenant at the end of the Lease Term or upon the earlier termination of this Lease.


17.10

Landlord’s Default; Tenant’s Remedies.  In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform any Term, condition, covenant or obligation of this Lease on the part of Landlord to be performed within thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord receives from Tenant notice specifically describing such failure, Tenant (in addition to all other remedies to which Tenant may be entitled under this instrument or at law or in equity) may cure such default by Landlord on behalf of, and at the sole cost and expense of, Landlord.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its costs and expenses in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an invoice therefor.  If the failure or default cannot be corrected within the thirty (30) day time period, Tenant may terminate the lease with thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord shall exercise in good faith diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period to cure the failure specified in the notice but shall not be able to do so because of acts of God, riots, or labor strikes or other circumstances beyond reasonable control of Landlord, then any such failure shall not be considered a default of this Lease by Landlord so long as Landlord shall continue to exercise in good faith such diligent efforts to cure such failure and shall do so within a reasonable period of time.


In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages (Tenant hereby waiving the benefit of any laws granting it a lien upon the property of Landlord and/or upon rent due Landlord), but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice in which to commence the appropriate cure of such default.  Unless and until Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue the appropriate cure of such default after such notice or complete same within a reasonable period of time, Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof.  All obligations of Landlord hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its possession of the property and not thereafter.  




24






The term  "Landlord" shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the property and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the property, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such new owner's ownership.


Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord shall not have any personal liability hereunder.  In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then owned by Landlord in the land and improvements which constitute the property; however, in no event, shall any deficiency judgment or any money judgment of any kind be sought or obtained against any party Landlord.


17.11

In the event that Landlord shall have taken possession of the Demised Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Demised Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant, at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof or third party having a lien thereon.  Landlord shall also have the right to remove from the Demised Premises (without the necessity of obtaining a distress warrant, writ of sequestration or other legal process) all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within the County in which the Demised Premises is located; and in such event, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal and storage and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense and liability in connection with such removal and storage.  Landlord shall also have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to any person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession thereof who presents to Landlord a copy of any instrument represented to Landlord by Claimant to have been executed by Tenant (or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to inquire into the authenticity of said instrument's copy of Tenant's or Tenant's predecessor's signature thereon and without the necessity of Landlord's making any nature of investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and liability incident to Landlord's relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant.  The rights of Landlord herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights which Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity, and Tenant stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Landlord are commercially reasonable. Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant, including without limitation, liability for trespass or conversion, with respect to any actions taken pursuant to this Section 17.11.


ARTICLE XVIII.  Landlord's Lien


18.1

To secure the payment of all rental and other sums of money due and to become due hereunder and the faithful performance of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant hereby gives to



25






Landlord an express first and prior contract lien and security interest on all property now or hereafter acquired, (including fixtures and equipment) but specifically excluding all proceeds of any insurance which may accrue to Tenant by reason of destruction of or damage to any such property.  Such property shall not be removed therefrom without the written consent of Landlord until all arrearages in rental and other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder shall be cumulative thereto.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, this lien may be foreclosed with or without court proceedings by public or private sale, provided Landlord gives Tenant at least fifteen (15) days written notice of the time and place of said sale, and Landlord shall have the right to become the purchaser, upon being the highest bidder at such sale.  Contemporaneous with the execution of this Lease (and if requested hereafter by Landlord), Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in sufficient form so that when properly filed, the security interest hereby given shall thereupon be perfected.  If requested hereafter by Landlord, Tenant shall also execute and deliver to Landlord Uniform Commercial Code financing statement change instruments in sufficient form to reflect any proper amendment or modification in or extension of the aforesaid contract lien and security interest hereby granted.  Landlord shall, in addition to all of its rights hereunder, also have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State in which the Demised Premises are located.  To the extent permitted by law, this Lease shall constitute a security agreement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at least annually, a complete list of all equipment, fixtures, furniture, office items and other goods held in the Demised Premises.  Tenant agrees Landlord may file this Agreement or a separate financing as it deems necessary to perfect this security interest.

Further, Tenant agrees to attorn to any successor-in-interest of Landlord and to execute an instrument evidencing such agreement upon request by Landlord.  The terms of this Lease are subject to approval by the lender providing the permanent financing for the property and such approval is a condition precedent to Landlord's obligations hereunder.

21.3

Tenant makes the following representations to Landlord on which Landlord is entitled to rely in executing this Lease:  (i)  Tenant is a Limited Liability Company, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Utah, and has the power to enter into this Lease and the transaction contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder, and by proper resolution the signatory hereto has been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease; and (ii)  the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and the consummation of the transactions herein



27






contemplated shall not conflict with or result in the violation of, breach of, or a default under Tenant's articles of incorporation or bylaws or partnership agreements, as amended, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, security agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Tenant is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties is subject.


ARTICLE XXII.  Late Charges


22.1

In the event Tenant fails to pay the Landlord when due any installment of rental or other sum to be paid to Landlord which may become due hereunder, Landlord will incur additional expenses in an amount not readily ascertainable and which has not been elsewhere provided for between Landlord and Tenant.  Therefore, if Tenant should fail to pay Landlord when due any monthly payment or other sum to be paid hereunder, Tenant will pay Landlord a late charge of five (5%) percent thereof.  Failure to pay such late charge upon demand therefore shall be an event of default hereunder.  Provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or at law or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner.


ARTICLE XXIII.  Miscellaneous


23.1

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between parties hereof, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rental, nor any other provisions contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.

23.4

Whenever a period of time herein prescribed for action to be taken by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.  At any time when there is outstanding a mortgage, ground Lease or similar security instrument covering Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises, Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder
